May REPEAT HIS CONFESSION
cORONER'S INQUEST OVER BODY
OF SLAIN BALTIMORE GIRL.
Chicago Circus Clown Who Admits
$751;. Deed Remains
T. Cheerful.

NJ Chicago, Nov. 4.-Charles Newton
Kramer, circus clown, acrobat and
high diver, who confessed to having
killed Miss Sophia Gertrude Singer of
Baltimore, Md, it is believed, will re-
peat his tragic story of the murder to-
day when the coroner's inquest over
the body of the victim is resumed.
Mrg: Kramer, who. gave the police
the first definite information that her
husband killed Miss Singer, and sew
eral others also will testify. Kramer
and his wife are being held at South
Side police station without bail.
Kramer, who has wooden leg, con-
tinues to jest about his predicament
and seems in jolly mood.
under the law they can't hang a
man with wooden leg in this state"
he said
How is that?" Inquired a police
officer
Because the law states rope must
be used the prisoner replied with a
laugh.
Police Captain Nootba had Kramer
before him in his private office for
more than an hour Sunday.
Before he would affiX his signature
to the confession he had made, Kra-
mer insisted on making a number of
unimportant changes. He made the
correction in his own handwriting and
over each change he inserted his mi
tials in order, as he expressed it, that
the police could not put anything
over on him."
The police will endeavor to show
that Miss Singer was the victim of a
premeditated robbery. In support of
this theory, the police point out that
the clothes line which Kramer used to
bind Miss Singer was taken from the
back yard at 6 O'clock in the evening,
several hours before the murder was
committed. His explanation of this
Is that his wife asked him to get the
clothes line so that she might dry
some clothes in their room.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. IS

Parents should take an active inter
est in the welfare of their children at
school. Only thru cooperation with
the instructor, can che best results be
obtained. Parents should see that
their children's assignments for home
work are actually studied. The in
structor can compel children to take
books home but cannot compel them
to study at home; hence the necessity
for cooperation in that respect. The
evils of protracted absences are only
too evident and will be elucidated in
coming issue.
Tuesday marked a decided drop in
attendance. only fourteen being pres
ent. The Indictment weather may be
held responsible
Hardness is quite the proper thing
judging from the amount recorded to
date. Allowance being made for in
evitable hardness, the fact remains
that there is more Of it than condi-
lions warrant.
Harry Heinze, Johnny Hoel, Fran
els Coppay and Gerald Ryan are
among the most recently enrolled.
Ernest Silbaughs genial grin again
brightens the school room after pro-
longed absence. May it not vanish but
be confined to it's proper sphere So
Minnie and frankie Heinze with
Carl Nyberg are the last to be regis
tered
With an enrolment of forty-four
and an average daily attendance ex-
ceeding thirty, conditions are assun-
ing congested aspect. ..a
The editors appointed for school
notes for the past week, forgot to at
tend school the greater part of the

North Dakota Outlook.

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov, 4.-North
Dakota's presidential campaign which
is said to have been the quietest in
years will close with few speeches.
In Richland county, his home, Unit
ed States Senator P. J. McCumber
made a number of speeches. At
Devils Lake, Governor John Burke,
before the national convention Demo
cratic candidate for President, ended
the campaign for his party.
Political leaders declare the fight
will be closed between Roosevelt and
Wilson, but some also say the silent
vote may greatly strengthen President
Taft's total.
What betting there is practically is

Roosevelt with the odds on Roosevelt,

SIXTEEN LOSE LIVES.
Only Four Passengers Have Been
Saved.

Montreal, Nov 4.-Word has Just
reached here that in a tremendous
storm the steamer Cecilie, a little
boat which plies between Montreal
and Valley Field, sank at Isle Perrot,
In Lake st. Louis, ten miles west Of
here. AS far as can be learned at
least sixteen persons have been
drowned, men, women and children.
Only four passengers were saved,
all men.
The cries of persons in the water
attracted the attention of Alexander
Leonard, who put out in a boat. He
found four men clinging to wreckage.
These he took safely to shore, but
could discover no more.

A basket social was given at the
school house Of District No. sc, town
OF Oak Park, Saturday evening, Oct
rs, 1912, by Miss Ruth Hanson, teach
or. The receipts for baskets, can
dies and lunches were $91. Not too
much praise can be given A. Batal-
den, the jolly auctioneer, nor to the
audience that were such willing buy
ers. They were just as enthusiastic
bidders at the finish as at the start.
So as ito make the evening so much
more interesting, Oscar Wahlund, of
Warren, arrived. Being at Demo-
cratic rally at Alvarado and to use his
swn words: ''The wind being from
the west, he felt the smell Of coffee
and followed that" Arriving in due
time to get a basket as we'll as coffee.
He also entertained the audience by
4 short encouraging speech on
schools and education, in the past
and at the present time. That was
OF much benefit to the young school
children as we'll as the older ones.
And not too much credit can be CIV
en- the teacher, Miss Ruth Hanson, as
it certainly costs much thought and
work to get up anythink like this
So as finish I'll say, thanks to one
and all for their part in making this
the greatest and best gathering held
in school district No. &c.

You can't always tell, says an
exchange, what will happen.
For instance; there is a story of
a man who is determined to COM
NIT suicide. He went to the
store and bought a rope, a can of
oil, box of matches, a dose of
arsenic and revolver. He went
down to the river and pushed
the boat from the shore and
rowed to where a limb hung
over, saturated his clothing with
coal oil, lighted a match and set
fire to his clothing, took a dose
of arsenic, put the muzzle of
the revolver to his temple, push
ed the boat from under him and
pulled the trigger. But the bull
let glanced and cut the rope
above him, and he fell kerfop
into the river; the water put out
the fire and he got strangled and
coughed up the arsenic. He
arose and waded out and declared
himself candidate for the legis-
lature on the reform ticket.

Bro. Sheppard, of the Reubens
Citizen, must have got his wires
crossed last week, judging from
the following item in his paper:
Again Idaho put another gem
into it's crown at the Portland
stock show. Lewis county won
distinction with some show ami
mails, especially a harnessed pig
and blooded bovine. The latter
changed hands at $1.20 per
pound. Icy day when young
Lewis county gets left along any
line.
For his information we would
say that the harnessed pig was a
Cottonwood Idaho county, prod
uct, while the prize steer came
from the state university in Latah
county. You can claim the steer,
brother, if Moscow will stand for
it, but we cannot allow anyone
to lay claim to the Cottonwood
pig. That is ours by right of
discovery, so hands off all around.

Some people expect the aver

much news as the large city daily
but forget that it's field for news
is limited and its support far
short of the big daily class. Ida
no county's weekly papers COM

far better than those published

Here, however, our county su-

RIGHT MAN IN
CHURCH THEFT
Ely Morgan Brought Back Here for
ST Johns Church Robbery and
Proves to Be the Right
Fellow.
cHEssER Is ALSO HELD
Talk With Morgan convlnces Chief
schevers That Right Parties
Are Held, and Restaurant
ers Must Dig UP.

All doubt as to the guilt Of Ely
Morgan in the robbery one night last
week, of st. Johns church, when a
quantity of siIverware and linen was
stolen, has been dispelled, according
to the police and Morgan and Rufus
Chesser must answer to the charges
which have been filed against them.
Chief Schevers has returned from
Atlantic, this state, to which place
Morgan skipped as soon as he learned
that he was under suspicion. The
police got wind of his whereabouts and
the Atlantic authorities, acting on adj
vice of the local police department,
located Morgan and placed him under
arrest and held him until the arrival
Of Chief Schevers, who brought Nor
gan back here and lodged him in
Jail.
The activity and thoroughness with
which the local officers went into the
theft was amply rewarded in the ar
rests of the two men now being held.
While the police were convinced that
they had made no mistake and firmly
believed Morgan and Chesser were
the parties who turned the trick, they
did not have conclusive evidence until
Morgan wavered and told the chief
that the right men had been arrested.
Morgan Shook down" and told the
police where the goods could be
found, but so far Chesser holds to his
original statement hat he knows moth
Ing absolutely about the theft or the
disposal of the goods.
A portion of the goods stolen have
been recovered and Chief Schevers is
determined that the balance will
be forthcoming in very short time,
or others may find themselves involv-
ed in unpleasant difficulties. Some of
the stolen goods were found at the
Siegfried's restaurant, on South
Fourth, and some were found at the
Baltimore cafe, Of which John Bras
sill. Jr., is the proprietor. The police
expected the balance of the plumber
to be turned In before many hours had
elapsed after Morgan had told where
1t could be found.
