WILSON AND BRYAN
TO CONFER IN BERMUDA
Believed Rebra5kan viii be
Offered Portfolio Of State.

Democrats in Washington were
greatly Interested in the news from
Bermuda hat William j. Bryan has
been invited by Presideut-elecJ Wilson
to confer with kim there.
This indicates in their opinion that
MI Bryan is to be a factor in setting
up the machinery for the new Demo
cratic administration.
These politicians recalled that four
years a4o President-elect Taft an
nounced tuat Fhilauder c. Knox wou d
be secretary of state in the new ad-
ministratiou before the full cabinet
list was announced, and then inU u.
Mr.. KnoN To advise with him in bI -
ing his cabinet
Democrats were wondering " r.! =
dr. Bryan was to play the same role
in the Wilson administration that Sec
retary Knox PLAYED in the Taft admin
istratiOu.
All the information that has come to
Washington recently has given Demo
cratic statesmen the impression that
William J. Bryan will have the privi-
lege of accepting or declining the port
folio of STATE. The only question dis
cussed in Washington is whether Mr
Bryan will accept or decline.
There was a persistent rumor among
senators and representatives Of the
Democratic faith that one cabinet pos
had been settled It was said tha
United States Senator Gardiner, o
Maine. would surely be secretary of
agricultnre.

In his statement, made public in

CONTINUANCE
FOR RAIDERS
Hearing For President Def
unCt Bank Set at LakOta
For Tomorrow

LAKOnA, Aug. IL. "a. Rhaders,
president of the defunct Peoples
State bank of Lakota, secured con-
tinuance of his hearing till next Tues
day when arraigned here. The ar
rangements for the continuance were
not completed till last evening, and
under orders entered, the action will
come up at o'clock on the day for
which the case is set.
In the meantime the defendant was
granted his freedom, putting up
bonds for $4,000. The state made a
request for larger bond, but it was
not granted.
plans for the DEFENSE that will be
raised by the convict-president have
not been completed yet, but 1t is ex-
pected that Scott Rex Of this city
will appear for him.
The return of Mr.. Rhaders to his
family in Lakota has been much diff
ferent from what he had hoped for
and looked forward to during at least
a portion of his stay behind the pris-
on bars. Rhaders, according to those
who ave knowledge OF the situation,
is practically penniless. Previous to
the time the bank went to the wall,
he had been ill for some time, and
that fact was partially responsible for
the very light sentence that was CIV
! en- him.

WILL De AN IMMENSE FAIR
Indians From Ten States to Gather At
Forst Yates on September 9Th.

MAENDAN, Aug. 12.-That there
may be no conflict between the big
Indian fair at Fort Yates and the Mis-
souri, slope fair at Mandan, the de-
partment has issued orders to the au-
thorities at Fort Yates instructing
them to have the Indian fair held on
the week previous to the opening OF
the Indian school, which will make
the opening day be Monday, Septem-
Der 8.
Over $1,000 has been raised by the
Indians on the reservation for their
fair, which promises to be the big
gest event of the kind ever pulled
of on the American continent. Over
1U0 head Of cattle have been secured
for slaughtering during the week and
Indians from ten states will be rep
resented at the big congress of the
red men which has been planned.
a good majority Of the Indians will
come to the Missouri slope fair at
,Mandan, following the big pow WOW
at Fort Yates, and it is believed that
more red men will be seen in the
city Of Mandan this year during fair
week than in years. s
The coming Indian fair will attract
thousands from all over North Dakota
and other states, and Mandan people
will do we'll by being we'll represent
ed at the Fort Yates denomination.
