TWO MURDERED
ATDAWSON
THREATS OF LYNCHING MADE
= AT DAWSON, N. d., AGAINST
DOUBLE MURDER.

jamestown, N. D., Oct. 31.-George
Baker entered the residence of fhom-
as Glass, his father-in-law at Dawson
at Z a. m. today and without any
warning fired upon Glass, his father
in-law and upon Mrs. Baker, his wife
who had recently returned from Cali
fornia with her two children, killing
them instantly.
Baker was arrested on leaving the
house with one of the children and
taken to the county Jail at Steele.
Threats of lynching are being made,
as both victims were highly esteemed
residents. ; ts
It is said Baker married his wife un-
der an assumed name. She only re-
Gently learned this, and her father,
when he was informed, sent her money
to return to Dawson. Other family
troubles are supposed to have existed.
Mr.. Glass leaves three sons, all en-
ployed on the Northern Pacific rail-
way.

Hanna Elected

Hanna has been elected governor.
His lead will be at least 5000 and it
may reach 10000.
Taft ran much better than many
people had anticipated. 1t is evident
he gained rapidly during the last three
weeks, while Roosevelt has lost.
The big run by Wilson pulled He'll
strom up to a higher point than had
been anticipated. Sweet ran weakly.
His candidacy was disappointment
and there are evidences that he was
double crossed by the bull moosers.
Reports are that leading bull moosers
passed the word in some counties to
vote for Hellstrom and disregard
Sweet.
The election of the two republican
congressmen-Helgesenand Young
is conceded. The democrats claim
victory for Halvorsen in the third,
but reports indicate Norton is in the
lead.
Returns on the supreme court fight
are very meagre. Bismarck reports
Bruce in the lead. Local advices are
too indefinite to base any claim.
Twenty-seven counties show Wilson
between 10000 and 5000 in the lead,
with Taft in second place. Complete
returns will change these figures
somewhat but may not change the
relative positions unless Roosevelt
runs unexpectedly heavy in the west
ern counties, in which case Taft will
fall back to third place.
Late advices from Minot are that
Halvorson comedies the election of
Norton, which gives North Dakota
three republican congressman.
The returns from some counties are
complete One or two pre-
cincts are missing from others. Still !
others have only about half the pre-
cincts.
The fight on Gilbreath was unavail-
ing and the commissioner of agricul
ture and labor, as we'll as every other
candidate on the state republican tick
ct, has been elected by safe lead.

QUIET ELECTION.

This was the first general election
held in North Dakota under the new
Corrupt Practices Act and was very
quiet. In the city of Williston there
was very little to indicate that an
election was being held, except in the
evening when returns were being re-
ceived at number of places. At these
places good sized crowds collected to
hear the returns by wire on the Ma
tional results. (

LOCAL TEACHERS
RECOGNIZED
GRAND FORKS EDUCATIONAL
MEETING-BES IN HISTORY
OF N. D., ASSOCIATION

What was by far the largest and the
most enthusiastic meeting in the his
tory of the state teachers association
was held recently in Grand Forks,
twelve hundred and fifty members
being enrolled from all parts of the
state. From Williston Miss Mary F.
McAndrew, principal of the high
school, Miss Bertha R. Palmer, super
visor Of drawing and Mr.. Forster
were in attendance from the city
schools and Mrs. Marta P. Tatem,
from the county schools.
The Lectures during the general ses-
sions of the association by Dr..
Woods Hutchinson Of New York City,
DR.. Henry S. Curtiss Of Olivet, Mich,
and J. Adams Puffer Of Boston, were
the feature of the meeting all of them
bringing out a good deal Of discussion
especially DR.. Hutchinson's lecture on
"Fresh Air in the Schoolroom and
Elsewhere" that by Mr.. Puffer on
"The Boy and his Gang" and the one
by DR.. Curtiss on "The Playground
Movement and its Significance" all
of which were thought provoking.
Miss McAndrew was madle men,
Der of the Committee on the Revision

Returns from So out of the 63 pre-
cincts in the county show that the en-
tire republican ticket has been elected
with one exception. Silver Otesa, re-
publican candidate for seriff, has been
defeated by Carl Erickson, socialist,
by small margin. In the So precincts
Erickson had a majority of 81 votes,
and the precincts to hear from are re-
ported to be socialist precincts. Thos.
White, the democratic candidate show
ed much strength until the outlying dis
trict returns begun to arrive and the
last returns showed him to be just
1O1 votes behind Erickson, and SO be-
hind Otesa. The contest for this Of
flee was the closest of any, but it is
now conceded that Erickson will be
elected by a very small majority.
J. o. Siebert made Z great run for
clerk Of the district court and is elec-
ted by big majority, the largest on
the entire ticket perhaps.
Mrs. Martha p. Tatem has been
elected as superintendent of schools by
a vote of about 3 TO l.
M. H. Aaen for auditor had major
ity of about 25O in the number of
returns received and is reelected
handily.
Carl Livdahl, of Ray, is elected
county treasurer by a good majority.
O. E. Distad, for coroner is also
elected on the ticket by fair major
ity.
u. l.. Burdick for county attorney
won handily over his opponent.
L. O. Higley, register of deeds and
J. c. Field, surveyor had no opposi-
tion and are reelected, as is A. j.
Butler, county judge. H. A. Nelson
democrat was elected public adminis-
traitor. He had no opposition on the
ticket and found little
trouble in defeating D. I. Todd, the
socialist candidate.

North Dakota has broken into the

RETURNS SLOW.

The returns were slow in coming
in, due to the length Of the ticket and
not much was known about the gener-
al result until late Wednesday night.
However what have come in practical
ly determine the final results, with
the exception Of few minor changes.

New York, Nov. 7.-Without AFFECT
ing in the slightest the certainty that
Wilson and Marshall captured an over
whelming majority of the electoral
vote, conservative estimates at 1880
today compelled the transfer to the
doubtful column Of some states where
results had been recorded as certain.
Among these were Iowa, with 13
votes; Minnesota with IL votes, and the
ultra conservative even included 1lli-
nois with 20 votes and Pennsylvania
with %. Wyoming's three votes and
South Dakota's five have not yet been
placed.
- Heavy reductions in the early re-
ports Of the large plurality for
Roosevelt in Kansas, upset all calcu-
lations that Roosevelt's lead aver VIII
son had narrowed to 625 on one-fourth
of the total returns. Illinois heavy
Wilson vote outside q Cook county
had reduced Roosevelt's lead to about
$4,000.

EDITORIAL NOTES

p POSTMASTER GENERAL HITCH
COCK is in favor of the government buy
ing the telegraph lines and operating them
as part of the postal service, while his assist
ant, De Graw, is strongly in favor of Parcels
Post
We are in favor of the government owning
the telegraph and telephone lines-they are
public utilities and should be run by the GOV
eminent in connection with the postal service
: but as between the government acquiring the
telegraph and the establishment of a Parcels
Post, we believe the Parcels Post more press
ing need.
Where the two big telegraph companies
cover the same territory, there is some COM
petition, and the service is fairly good. The
telegraph service is confined to towns and
cities, and IN many sections the telegraph COM
panes have to compete with the telephone.

CAN you understand how a Roman Cath

unmarried man ask his wife all about the
most secret relations of herself with him?
Isn't it marvellous thing that these hus-

the sacred mysteries of the marriage bed?
What becomes of woman's modesty, after
she has had to virtually undress herself before
a lascivious priest?
Remember that the two are alone, with
nothing but a thin grating separating them.
They are both bound to secrecy as to what
the man says to the woman, and what the
woman says to the man. The very questions
which he puts to her, touching her intercourse
with her husband, are such as naturally
inflame his passions. She has been taught
