The announcement that Madame

sion as to the explanation of her
great drawing powers. 1t is a GER
tain fact that no artist draws the
great audiences that turn out to hear
the famous contralto. A great many
attribute her drawing power to her
wonderful personality, others to her
voice alone. and there are countless

INSTITUTE WAS
WE'LL ATTENDED
OVER SEVENTY TEACHERS EN-
ROLLED -SCHOOLMEN MAKE
TALKS DURING WEEK

Teachers Institute is in session this
week with an attendance of some
seventy of the instructors of Williams
county and high tension of interest
has been manifest at every session.
The institute has been fortunate in
securing the class of instructors that
have been present this year. The
different periods have been divided
between Superintendent A. G.. Crane
Miss Ella Mile, of Valley City Nor
NAL and Miss Helen Davies of Grand
Forks.
Among the special features of the
week was the institute lecture given
by Dean Joseph Kennedy of N. D.
University who spoke at the Library
Wednesday evening. Superintendent
Crane lectured to good audience
Wednesday afternoon at the Crescent
on that pertinent topic "Flies" which
talk was illustrated by stereopticon
views.
Thursday afternoon the institute
was addressed by State Superinten-
dent Taylor who talked on "Profes-
sional Ethics" and by talk by Supt.
Forster on the humor in school life.
The institute closes tomorrow.

PUBLIC RECORD
is OPEN ONE
FOURTEEN YEARS OF SERVICE
GIVEN TO THE STATE OF
NORTH DAKOTA

The time is past when a man may
run for office and be merely elected
upon platform Of glittering generali-
ties backed by nothing greater than
his mere ipsi dixit that he stands for
reform progressive legislation, says
the Valley City Times Record. When
a candidate brings his name before
the voters of the state he must have
definite record upon which to stand
unless he be a mere novice in the po-
litical service. Never was there q
time in the history Of the state when
records were more carefully searched:
than at the present time. Those men
who are advertising of what they
stand for and heaping abuse upon
their opponents are almost certain
to fall by the way.
In Hon. L. B. Hanna of Fargo, cam.
didate for governor, the state of North
Dakota has a man who has made a.
splendid record in the public service
He is no new untried fiedgeling in the
legislative arena. He has spent four
teen of the best years of his life in
doing for his state what no other
man within it could have done. His
record throughout this length Of time
is an open book for public persual,
and there is not one dishonorable line
upon any page of it.
A bitter fight for abusive personali-
ties has been waged against Mr..
Hanna since it became known that he
would be a candidate for governor,
and throughout that fight not one
scintilla of evidence has been brought
forth that would tend to reflect upon
his integrity of purpose or brand his
motive as anything but rigidly hon.
est.
During this spewing of vituperation
by the personal enemies and their
hirelings no evidence has been given
the public which would give them rea-

served them faithfully both as men,
ber of the North Dakota senate and
legislature and as member Of con-
gress at Washington.
The points sought to be made
against Mr.. Hanna by these men are
taken from various phases of his
career and are not complete but mere
ly taken in such manner as to mis-
lead and misinforp without giving a.
full record of the events.
Mr.. Hanna's entire record is clean,
manly, and lasting tribute to the
man both as a business man and a
legislator. In every act he has per-
formed in the public service, in every
vote he has cast upon bill or that he

ROWTCLIFFEDIES
FROM INJURIES
CHEF OF BARBECUES DIES FROM
HURTS FROM ALLEGED
ASSAULT

w. NJ. Rowtcliffe who has resided
in this section of the state and in
Montana for the past five or six years
died at the home of Susie McGowen
colored, on Third Ave. East this
morning at three o'clock under cir
cumstances that led to post mortem
examination of the body this after
noon by Drs. Jones, Myklestad and
Windell, Coroner Thomas having in
stituted an investigation to learn how
Rowtcliffe came to his death.
The unfortunate man had been cook
ing on the Day ranch near Culbertson
for the past year and the summer of
1910 he was employed at the Recla-
nation shack in the capacity of
cook. Coming to Williston some four
weeks ago he was employed to look
after the barbecue roasting at the
l. O. o. F. convention and the fire.
mems tournament.
1t is said Rowtcliffe in an ant NOR
tenn statement made to Mrs. McGowen
alleged that an assault was COM
mitted upon him sometime Thursday
night June 13 in the alley back of
the Arcade pool hall which broke his
jaw and for time rendered him un-
conscious. He was brought to the
back door of the McGowen house about
three o'clock Friday morning in
semi-unconscious condition and at the
time it was supposed that he was
under the influence of liquor. The
true condition was revealed when day.
light came and a physician called.
Aside from the broken jaw Rowt-
cliffe complained that his side hurt
him prior to his death.
His death came unexpectedly as it
was thought that nothing serious
would result from the injuries that
he had sustained. A coroners jury
will be called tomorrow and the evil
dence of Mrs. McGowen, the physi-
clans and others, thought by the po-
lice to know something of the affair,
will be taken.

TWO WAYS OF
RUNNING THINGS
WHAT WE LOOSE ON THE WHITE
FISH WE MAKE UP ON THE
MACKERAL

Record made in the running Of a
county became conclusive evidences,
when the tax payers wish to ascertain
which officers are their servants. and
which officers are the servants of the
Interests"
The auditor and treasurers offices
are largely clerical offices. The law
tells them what to do, and this is
clerical work mostly. This more true
with reference to the treasurers Of
flee than the auditors, which is the
most difficult office of the two. Then
if this is true, it should follow that
when the work of an Office, largely
clerical is decreased, that the ex-
penses should also decrease. In 1910
S. Charlson was county treasurer.
At that time, this county embraced
what is now Divide, besides its pres
ent territory. During that year it
cost the county for clerical help in
the treasurers Office, according to the
records of the court house. $1971.5O
In 1911, Divide county Rad lecn cut
off from Williams, and the territory
was smaller, and the annual taxes to
be collected less. Oscar Hanson pres
ent candidate for reelection was
treasurer as he is now. 1t cost the
county for clerical help. $2l'2.53, or
$4,000 more to do the less work.
See warrants and records in the court
house. If our figures arc not exactly
correct, they are approximately so,
and any tax payer can find out this
readily by examination of the war
rants issued for treasure1s Office dur
ing these two years.
Then turn to the auditors office.
During the last year Mr.. Atterberry
was auditor the county paid for cleri-
cal help s3915.34. During part of this
time he had only the present Williams
county to deal with, that is from Jan.
1st to April 1st 1911. During the first
year Mr. Aaen was in Office, the county
paid for clerical help in his office
$3286.55 or a decrease in his Office of
$628.79. If there had been like de-
crease per centum in Hanson's Office,
it would have cost the county about
$165O.0O. Figure it out for yourself.
Or" in other words, should have cost
the county $460.O0 less.
What do you say to this Mr.. Tax
payer? What has the reform Herald
ever said to this? Add to this the ex-
penses of the trip to Bismarck, and
you have an even $4,000.
Think it over. Look it up, Mr.. Tax
payer. And will the Herald kindly
copy. That paper stands for "Re-
form" you know, with a big dollar
mark to it.

KARR'S WORK
IN WILLISTON
VALLEY CITY MAN SPENDS TEN
WEEKS IN THE CITY OF
OPPORTUNITY

Rev. Alex Karr Of the Conference
Claimants Endowment Fund of the
Methodist Episcopal church of North
Dakota spent two weeks in the City
of Opportunity and took in the l. o.
O. F. convention and the firemens
tournament. Mr.. karr occupied the
pulpit of the Methodist church during
his stay-over. His sermons were
forceful and eloquent and his mes
sages will be long remembered by the
people of Williston. Rev. Karr is
today considered one of the foremost
preachers in the state Of North Da-
kota. And he is without doubt is the
churches greatest financial agent. The
work of Mr.. Karr along financial lines
far exceeds the most sanguine hopes
of is most optimistic brethren.
1t will only be four years next Oct.
since the Methodist Episcopal church
of North Dakota appointed Mr.. Karr
to this work. He was sent out to
raise if possible $5O,OOO-very few
if any expected that it could be done
some of the laymen assured him that
it could be done and even a much
larger sum should be secured for this
fund. And when Mr.. Karr presents
his report at North Dakota Methodist
Conference in Williston in October
after having paid all expenses by the
campaign for four years, there will
be handed over to the church one hun
dred dollars a day for four years.
Just take your pencil and figure it
out yourself. Only a man with a
vision could undertake such a work.
The Methodist convention responded
very literally indeed. 1t looks as if
Williston M. E. church would lead
the whole state in offerings for this
work.
Mr.. Karr received for this work
from Williston the sum of $4,25O with
several promises to come later.
Yet the church is richer because of
what she has invested in the cause
that lies so close to the hearts of the
laymen of the church as we'll as the
superanuated themselves.

the people Of this progressive COM
