MUST TREAT WITH ALLIES
Turkey Cannot Seek Peace Through
Powers.

Sofia, Nov 9.-The Bulgarian cabi-
net maintains the absolute necessity
of any peace negotiations with Tur-
key being conducted directly with the
Balkan nations In order to insure the
future position Of the various states
involved and to prevent the danger
of further conflict after the war has
ceased.
The government organ Mir ex-
presses surprise that Turkey recog-
MES her defeat, but yet ignores the
~victors and continues to seek saliva

Sioux City Live Stock

Sioux City, Nov. ., 2 p. m.-Killer
grades of cattle have not arrived in
very liberal quantities this week, and
this has been a factor in holding a
healthy tone to the deal, although
lower markets we've reported from
other centers the middle day of TIE
week. The stock has been ON the
short fed order, ranging in price from
81. so to S.. 5 with a load of good
mixed y~earlings averaging 7SS pounds
that cold at IS. 40, the best piice for
the week. Conditions surrounding the
trade in stock cattle have been marked
by dizziness, and closing values are
generally lower for the week. Choice
feeders and prize yearlings have been
received in limited numbers and prices
for these have held up in good shape
and are closing fully steady. The slow
demand for the planer grades has been
a sitting factor to first prices. Feeding
cows and heifers have not felt the
slump in prices to any great extent
and these are about steady with last
week.
For the week the hog market has
been slow and generally a satisfactory
affair from the standpoint of the sell
lers. The decline today will leave
values about &c higher than a week
ago. Bulk sold today from $40 to
1875 and top sales reached 81. so.

Double Murderer Strung Up
by Armed Mob.
SHERIFF IS OYERPOWERED
kidder County Jail at Steele Broken
into and Slayer Of Wife and Father
in-Law Dragged From Cell and
Hanged to Telegraph Pole.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. "a crowd of
twenty-five heavily armed and masked
men attacked the Kidder county Jail
at Steele shortly after midnight, over
powered Sheriff Fflbin, chiseled the
bolts off the door of the cell occupied
by George Baker, who or Oct. 81 shot
and killed his wife and Thomas Glass,
his f~ather-in-law, at Dawson, Kidder
county, dragged Baker out through
the streets and hanged him.
The men approached the Jail quietly,
and the sheriff knew nothing of their
presence until they broke into his
room and demanded that he turn
Baker over to them. He refused, but
the mob quickly overcame him, locked
him in his room and forced an en-
trance to the cell rooms on the second
floor of the Jail. Without waiting to
find the keys to Bakers cell they
chiseled the bolts off and seized the
wife murderer.
Drag Prisoner Through Streets.
Placing a rope under Bakers arms,
the mob then half led and half
dragged him to the Northern Pacific
stock yards, a short distance from the
Jail. where they hanged him to a tele-
graph pole. Baker pleaded hard for
mercy, but the mob was obdurate.
When they were certain Baker was
dead the lynching party quietly dis
persed.
The officials have been unable to
learn the identity of any Of the party.
The body was left hanging in the
yards and vas not removed until late
In the morning.
Intense feeling has existed through
out Kidder county since the crime and
numerous threats of lynching have
been made, but the sheriff apparently
thought the feeling against Baker had
died out.

Vienna, Nov. 9.-Informal negotia-
tons for the surrender OF CONSTANT
noplc have been already entered upon,
according to the correspondent of the
Reichspost, with the Bulgarian army.
He adds that the Bulgarians hope
the fall of the Turkish line of forts
at Tchatalja will be simultaneous
with the taking OF the fortress of
Adrianople.
The correspondent adds that the
Turkish troops have been repulsed
from tho principal points of the
Tchatalja line the fall of which is
expected Immediately.
The Turkish advance posts on the
right wing, opposite the fort of Deli
yunus, have been completed already
by the Bulgarian troops belonging TO
the third column and those form ex-
cellent bases for pushing home at
tacks on the other lines.
Typhus at A~drisnopIe.
htNOaaih6 w thAOi uldtlOu IGtGlNeu
from prisoners, the correspondent
adds, typhus has broken out In Adrian
ople and is causing great devastation
among the defending force. There
are already several thousand cases of
sickness and horrible tales are heard
of the trouble arising from the lack
of doctors in the besieged city.
In spite of numerous losses there
are still from 10000 to So 900 men en-
gagged in the defense OF the city and
although there are several Turkish
healers in the city there is not a
single doctor who has received a Eu-
ropean education.
Although the Turks are physically
strong and h~abitualed to ~privation,
hunger and illness are doing more
damage than is the enemy.
The commander of the Bulgarian in
vesting force is fixing his attention on
the complete encircling of the city
and he does not contemplate making
a forced conquest of the fortress.

L. S. MORROW
Candidate for
Clerk of Cir:uit Court

TIC the Voters and Taxpayers of Polk
County:
Having heard several versions OF
my position in regard to the fec sys-
TEN in paying county officials, | de-
sire to state my position clearly and
positively.
There has been considerable effort
made by members of the Legislature
to reduce the compensation on the
county officials. either by reducing
the fees or putting them on a salary
basis
But it has been impossible to Sc
cure legislative action, mainly be-
cause accurate data could not be OBJ
tanned as to the compensation re-
Ceived through fees by the various
Office holders who would be affected
by the reduction.
have been informed that in this
county no record has been kept in
the clerk office of the fees received
and this would be trueu, suppose,
in regard to other offices in this and
other counties.
That the fees in the clerks office
make an unreasonably large remu-
neratiOn there is no doubt.
Now, what propose to do, II
elected as your circuit clerk. Is to
keep an accurate account of every
dollar received in fees, showing from
what source, what class OF work, the
various amounts are received, and
the total per annum. will 60 be-
fore the proper committees of the
Legislature with this itemized state
ment showing just how much l am
receiving from the people and ask
the Legislature to reduce 1t to a
reasonable salary. This would give
the friends of reduction something
definite on which to work instead
of, as at present. working in the
dark, and would, believe, be prompt
ly successful in causing the Legis-
lature to fix a reasonable salary for
all county officials.
One man in Office, asking for a re-
duction in compensation, can do more
than thousand who are on the out
side, and guessing in the dark.
If elected, promise to use my
best efforts to secure the necessary
reduction. and firmly believe can
accomplish it before my time is half
out
In an adjoining county, one Of
fetal has been turning back to the
county all over a fixed amount. That
is all right, but it affects only one
office, and one man in that office,
and does not affect his successors.
My plan would affect not only my
self hut my successors and alO prob
ably uch other Offices as need re-
duction.
| know that in presenting tits
proposition am inviting the bitter
opposition of a certain class of pO-
litical influence.
The fight will be not against the
proposition but against me person
ally, to keep me from getting in a
position to carry it through to sue
cess Respectfully,
