AWFUL ATTEMPT
AT Making A Speech Indulged
In by Ira 0. Curtiss last Sat

Ira Up Standing and Makes
Monkey of Him.
Ira O. Curtiss. the "slMnlcr-
ing, grating candidate for con
gress, spoke TO Il small and unap-
precative audience at the opera
house, Saturday evening. who
gathered there purely out of
curiosity TO hear what excuse he
really had Tor appearing as a
candidate ior congress. Curtiss
claims hlc credit of having been
the aut hon OF about all the freak
laws that appear on the statute
books, including those he had
John . introduce for him. While
he WAS slnmbeling along ON the
little speech he had so oft re-
pcated and nearly knew by heart,
he was called to sudden halt
Iy + Francis Atwood. of this
city, who is the father OF ON
OF the laws CurtlSs has the unad-
uli@rated nerve 30 stand Iii
before an audience and claim
MIR. Atwood finally secured the
floor and in very few words
explained his position, while Ira
stammercd, stamped and STUN
bled around the stage. and it
was amazing how quickly Ira
changed the subject, and how
careful he was during the remain
der OF his speech.
Curtiss is far from being a
smart man on even one OF ordl-
nary intelligence, as was proven
by his speech and arguments. IL,
told barefaced lies and verified
them himself before he was thru
with the argument. In his al
tack on the press OF the state
he said that any newspaper man
in the state could be "bought :
with little graft, and shortly
afterward contradicted his state
ment by showing the audience
checks that had been returned to
him from all but four newspa
pers which he had attempted t'
buy with a little graft y Surely
the action Of four hungry edi
tors in the state is not a f;nil
example to draw his deduction
from in Judging the balance o
them, especially when all but fou
of Curtiss checks We're return
cd to him untouched, and show
that he lied deliberately to th'
audience, with intent to deceive
In all, Curtiss made a very ba,
impression here, especiallw " b.
his floundering remarks on diff
ferent topics, which shows tha
he is not a we'll posted man, ano

ota is not going to send a MAJ
to congress who makes use OF TIN
roughest language to emphasiz

OF citizens who are intelligen
enough to get along with tn
plain English language. Curtis
is qualified beyond a doubt bot
in size and vocabulary, for a
important position among his cIas
where he would be appreciate
and would undoubtedly filb tn

Thomas Mani, an attorney of
Slsseton, was callde in to assist
in the prosecution Of the Indians
who killed Roland Judish. The
fact that Mr.. Mani is an Indian
himself, does not alter the fact
that he has received considerable
credit upon the position he took
in this case Judge Batterton
must have had confidence in him,
or he wouldn't have asked him to
assist. Mr. Mnai is a candidate
for the office of states attor-
ney Browns Valley Tribune.

Notes

And when the news reached
Browns Valley, there was great
rejoicing, and the tribe of Van
gordon dropped their Left eyelids
and smiled as they sat at the
and "smiled as they sat by the
childlile and bland. =
1t was a funny election. Iii
cense was defeated by majori
ty of 8, while Gamm Can avowed
"wet" man and not ashamed of
it, beat RaslS "dry' as tim
der) for city treasurer by 81
votes. There was evidently a
trade made; but while one side
delivered the goods, - the other
side delivered the double cross.
Harris, posing on Main street
as a "dry' man, but working the
side streets and back alleys for
'wet" votes, beat Morrill,
consistent "dry,'' for alderman
in the Third ward by better than
:, two to one vote. For a large
fleshy person, Charles showed
considerable ability in RIDING two
horses, bringing them both UNI
der the wire lile Garrison.

Now if the good people of the
city will make it their business
to see that the doctors refrain
from writing booze prescriptions,
and the police are given strict
injunctions to break up all beer
parties, the old town will indeed
be dry - OF course, this does
not apply to the reserve stock
kept in the cellars of some of
our most prominent and highly
respected citizens.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
FIRST TO BE SAVED

FtfSI " 6E oAV Z H.
From what has been learned here
the officers and crew stood to their
quarters with fine discipline when it
was found necessary to send away the
boats First over the side We're the
women and children in the first cabin,
then those of the second and then the
steerage. With the women of the
steerage in the lifeboats came the turn
of the men in the first cabin, for the
stewardesses and maids aboard the
steamship ranked with the crew. w,Ich
the unwritten law of the sea says liiust
not leave the sinking vessel until the
last of the passengers are over the
side.
The sea was running high, but not
breaking. Ice was to be seen in all
directions, bringing with it chill
which bit through such clothing and
wraps as the frightened passengers
had thrown about themselves. In the
boats were 500 odd men, women and
children. To those left on board We're
left the lifebelts if they could don
them and get far enough away from
the sinking vessel not to be enguifed
when she swirled below the water.
1t was twenty minutes after 2
o'clock that the last bulkheads of the
Titanic blew away and she went to
the bottom, carrying over 1900 souls
with her. Before this her lifeboats
had been sent away
OTHER VESSELS REACH
THE SCENE TOO LATE.
Two messages received by the Mar
conf wireless telegraph company from
the company's stations at Cape Race
and Sable Island made it certain that
their are none of the Titanic's passen-
gers on either the steamship Partisan
or Virginian.
One message reads
"The Marconi station at Sable Island
| has been in communication with the
Partisan and the ship has no passen
gers from the Titanic"
The other message reads:
"The Marconi station at Cape Race
reports they have had communication
with the Virginian, which reported
on that vessel, which arrived too late
to be of service"
All through the night the Offices of
the White Star line and of the news
papers were besieged by scores of
persons anxious to learn the fate Of
relatives or friends on board the Ii
tanic, while flood of kilograms. cable
grams and telephone messages were
received, bringing eager inquiries from
different parts of the country.
officials of the White Star line had
little news to impart. Wireless opera
