NO PROSECUTION
BY MRS. CHAT {
MRS. CHAFFEE DENIES STORY OF
HER INTENDED PROSECUTION
OF WHITE STAR LINE.

''I think the story in one of the twin
city papers containing a purported in
tcryi.w with Mrs. Chaffee in which it
was stated she intends to spend all her
money prosecuting the White Star line,
is entirely the product of some news
paper man s Imagination said Walter
Reed of Armenia to a Forum represen-
tative at the Gardner hotel today.
"Mrs. Chaffee has no such intentions
and I do not believe ever made any
such statement to any Of the twin city
newspaper men, continued Mr.. Reed.
CT recollect she was interviewed by a
representative of the St. Paul Dispatch,
but that was all 1 think. quite re-
GREETED that such statement should
have gone out. The expression Of such
thought is rather absurd as the Unit.
ed Stat senate is fully probing the
matter as much e" can be done and a
great deal better than any private par
ty acting separately.
"The description Of the disaster as
given by Mrs. Chaffee is one that would
give anyone a continual nightmare
throughout whole lifetime. She saw
the vessel sink and was in the lifeboat
from about 1880 until about 1880 o.
clock the next morning when they were
picked up. The lifeboats were mo-
equipped at all and if the sea had no
/ been calm many more would have beer
| lost as the boats would undoubtedly
have been swamped. The crew of tn
Titanic was wholly unorganized and nj
one was drilled for action in case of al
emergency, though it is thought by tn
majority OF the survivors we met tina
the officers did all in their power afte
the horrible accident happened.
"The people Of the Carpathia wer
very considerate of the survivors an
in New York the hotels did all in thei
power to make the victims Of the wrecl
comfortable in their first hours afte
their landing. Fargo Forum.

his leaders on exhibition at the Colon

a reduction Of one-half the bundle

now necessary in threshing. Also that
it picks up all loose grain now left af'

with one of these leaders, six bundle

moved to Devils Lake, N. D., where
they made their home until last fall,
when Mr.. Hazelton went to Pierre, S.
D.
Mrs. Hazelton and daughters have
been staying in Luverne for several
months, and were here when the fatal
accident happened, but had planned
on joining Mr.. Hazelton at Pierre in
the course of a few weeks.
Besides Mrs. Hazelton and two
daughters, the deceased is survived by
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Hazel
ton and three half-sisters and two half
brothers, all of whom reside at Meser-
vey, Ia, with the exception of one sis
ter living at Perry, Ia.
Mr.. Hazelton was member of the
Odd Fellows and Modern Brotherhood
of America orders, and at the time Of
his death car led 1000 life insurance
in t e last named order.
The Pierre Daily Capital-Journa Of
April 18th, gave the following partic-
ulars in regard to Mr.. Hazelton 8
death:
Just as the faint lines of dawn ap-
peared on the horizon this morning
Harry Leroy Hazelton passed away.
Full consciousness returned shortly
after he w"s removed to the hospital,
and during the few hours which elapsed
until death claimed him, untold suf-
fering was experienced by the unfortu-
| nate man.
The flames which at first was thot
to have only caused exterior burns,
were inhaled and death came at re-
lief after hours of consciou7 and un-
conscious misery.
u~ing the intervals when the pain
was not so severe, Mr.. Hazelton re-
counted his experience in the fire. From
what could be learned from his discon
I nected story, consciousness left him
shortly before he was taken from the
building, as his rescue and trip to the
hospital could Lot be recalled. Up to g
late hour full realization Of his con
dition was not realized, but when ht
learned that he could not live he beg
ged his attendants to break the new:
gently to his wife and two little daugh
tiers who were soon to have joined hin
in Pierre.
Mr.. Hazelton cme to Pierre the frs
OF last September and accepted the pc
sition of baker at the Eureka. He wa
an excellent baker and man who i
spoken Of in highest terms of praise b.
all who knew him. His wife and tw'
little daughters were spending tn
winter in Luverne, but preparation
were being made for their early remov
al to Pierre.

ROAD MAKING.
Prof. w. G. Palmer, Agri. Editor, N.
Oak Ayr. College,

Prof. w. G. Palmer, Agri. Editor, N.
Oak. Ayr. College.
The keynote to rcadmaking is the con-
troll Of the moisture. When too much
moisture is present in the soil it be-
comes mud, and when too little it be-
comes dust. To cement the soil parti-
cles together the most effectively the
soil should contain only what moisture
it will bring up from below itself. This
means that the moisture that falls as
rain should be removed from the road
bed as quickly as possible. This can
best be done by keeping the road bed
higher in the center and smooth. In
short, keep in mind that the surface of
the road bed is a roof. If the road bed
is level or contains ruts the water will
stand there, gradually soaking in and
making mud. This is not all. When
the road dries up the Jumps and edges
of ruts are ground up into dust. So
that poor road bed is muddy in wet
weather and dusty in dry weather.
In repairing a road, the soil that is
moved onto the road bed for surfacing
material should be free from sod and
weeds. It should be thoroughly disced
and narrowed and thoroughly packed.
If it is left to be packed by the regu-
lar traffic on the road ruts will be
formed and the results in many cases
is that the road is worse than before
it was repaired.
bitches should be provided for car
rying away the water that flows of
from the road bed. If it is allowed to
stand by the roadside some Of it will
seep under the road and so soften the
road bed.
The King split log drag is the best
and cheapest implement for keeping
the surface of the road bed smooth.
By running it over the road after ev-
cry rain Jumps and loose soil are scrap
ed into the ruts. A smooth road bed
results.

through heated discussion that the cat
will be let out Of the bag and there
will be general dlssention in the pro.
gressive ranks, winding up with the
failure to endorse any of the candidates
assembled, as it has been found impos-
sible to do at several other gatherings
where words waxed warm, though not
as heated as reported at the present
meeting.
The political situation with the pro.
gressives holding convention every

any of those seeking Office, other than
Buchanan for governor, has left things
in considerable Of muddle and wheth-
er the present meeting will help mat

CHARLES THEATRE
WAS CROWDED
MANY TURNTD OUT LAST NIGHT
TO WITNESS THE TITANIC
SHOW THERE.

A crowded house at both shows
was the record made by the manage
ment Of the Charles last night and
those who saw the performance were
apparently pleased and realized the
full value of the money spent.
The Titanic pictures were those copy
righted by the American Press associa-
ton and were authentic. They showed
the picture of the vessel before its IA
tai trip and the elaborate way in which
it was furnished. Nothing about the
picture was overdrawn but was exact
ly as things were and the management
deserves much credit.
Besides this and the regular fine
films, the Collins-Flint trio rendered
some good music. There were many
who were turned away last night and
the performance will be duplicated to-
! night. This is the same show that
crowded the theatre at Grand Forks.

you what did. The other day I made

so didn't hurry.
"About p. m. I turned up and in
stead Of having scowl on that would
make thunder cloud blush for shame,
he was looking real pleasant. This
kind of surprised me, and after apol-
ogizing for being SO late, asked him
how he had passed the time. why,
he said, safter waiting for about half
an hour I felt pretty mad and began
to walk up and down the arcade, just
revolving in my mind what I'D say to
you.
All at once I looked up and there
right in front of me was the measliest-
looking, long-drawn-out streak of mis-
cry that I ever saw. Its shoulders were
hunched upd it's face looked as though
it had never learned to smile. It was
so disagreeable to look at that L turn
ed round and walked the other way,
and I'll be darned if the same thing
WASH It facing me again. Then I realiz-
ed it was myself and I've been practic.
