VARIOUS FORCES
ABOUT TO BEGIN
PLANS FOR 1872 CAMPAIGNS
Barton Board Backward-Hasn't
Organized Yet, Bot Develop
ments Are Promised Soon

When the national committee ad-
jours and the leaders return from its
session Tennessee politics will take ON
| added interest. The state democratic
executive committee has been called to
meet at the Maxwell House, January
10. Fearing that any little move on
the political board might corner them,
the Independents will make an effort
TO get the men appointed by Barton
and Williams together soon. Newell
Sanders is then expected to call his
faction of the republican party togeth-
er to transact "such business properly
becoming before an executive commit
tee.n
In spite of the deep interest being
taken in the Vertrees- -Mountcastle con-
test before the national committee, and
regardless of its outcome, the result is
expected by many to have little effect
on the electoral vote of Tennessee.
When the state did go republican once,
for the first time in thirty years. A
federal offieeholder, largely responsible
for the nomination of Hooper, is stating
that he expects Tennessee to swing
back in line next year, like Kentucky
did last year. Democrats of Tennessee
appear to be anxious to fall in line with
the national slogan,-''Demcratic victo-
ry the country over.'
Meeting of Committee.
The first definite step in this direction
in Tennessee will be taken when the
state democratic executive committee
meets next Monday at noon. The do
ings of the national com mite will then
be a matter of history. The place Of
holding the national convention will
no doubt be settled question, the plans
for the big campain will be laid SO that
the state committee can act with GER
tainty.
Since Chairman Vertrees has called
the committee to meet he has received
word from each member, with the pos
sible exception of two, signifying his
intention to be present and lend aid in
seeing that Tennessee does her part to
carry out the slogan of the party.
Among many things of interest to be
considered at that meeting will be the
calling, in all probability, of state
wide democratic primary, inviting all
democrats to participate. On previous
occasions the individual members of
the committee have expressed them
selves as favoring such means of nomi-
mating men for the state offices. The
will also consider means Of
selecting delegates to the national con-
and the election Of a new
state committee.
Barton'S Appointees.
The six men appointed by Barton
and Williamson December % have done
yet. They tried to have q
last week, but failed to get to-
gether. 1t is expected that they:will
try again this week. In fact, it has
been stated by at least two members of
the proposed board that developments
are to come before Saturday night. The
body is not body yet in the
eyes of those attempting to make it
such. 1t will not be until they are able
TO get the appointees together, choose
the seventh man and effect some sort
of an organization. They excuse them
selves in this delay on account Of the
illness of Frank Thompson, Chattanoo-
ga, appointed by Barton. Nashville

Washington, Jan. IA dispatch to

Washington, Jan. IA dispatch to
the Chicago Record-Herald says:
Another Republican presidential
candidacy is hanging in the balance.
1t is that of Senator Albert B. Cum
Minis and the Iowa situation may
cause it to become a reality within
a short time. With the situation in
his state before them for considera-
tion, Senator Cummins, it is under
stood, will ask some of his colleagues
in Washington to advise him what to
do and his course of action is likely
to be guided largely by their conclu-
sions.
When congress adjourned for the
holidays Senator Cummins went to
his home in Des Moines with the in
%tention Of calling in his ~lieutenants
from around the state and having
them report exactly what the condi-
tons are regarding the fight, which
up to this time, has been drawn on
Taft versus La Toilette lines.
If necessary to deliver Iowa to La
Toilette he will become a candidate.

PAYS TO DISC GRAIN STUMBLE
Dickinson Experimental Farm Head
Says Process Will Aid Materially
Future Work.

Extensive tests carried on at the
North Dakota experimental farming
station near Dickinson have brought
from Superintendent L. R. Waldron
a statement of the results that have
been achieved in raising grains on
spring blowing, as compared with fall
blowing. He also touches on the ques-
ton of discing the stubble after the
harvests n declares himself to be in
favor of that proposition.
In the western sections of North Da-
kota, where the soil is lighter, and
where it is generally extremely dry in
the late harvest a and the early
fall blowing period, it has been urged
that spring blowing. is the most prof
liable, but Superintendent Waldron be-
lieves that discing land is the solu-
ton of the problem and will allow
fall blowing with highly beneficial re-
suits.
While much more needs to be
learned on the question of discing
stubble lands in this section" MI. Wal
dron said in discussing the situation.
There is no doubt of it's great ad-
vantage, if fall blowing is to be done.
There is no question but what the
practice conserves moisture and,
furthermore, the fall blowing is rem
dered easier and may be done better
because of the moisture which has
been stored up at the time of blowing.
"a great drawback to fall blowing
in this section is that the ground is
dry when plowed and this eventually
has a bad effect on the following
years crop. Now If discing the stub.
BILE land renders the upper foot moist
enough so that fall blowing, say a
month after harvest, may be done ON
land that is reasonably moist, this OBJ
lection to fall blowing may fall by
the wayside.
furthermore, it may be said that
the discing of the stubble, and at har-
vest time, will save enough moisture
so that even better crops may be
grown upon spring blowing. Perhaps
but little snow would be caught if the
stubble be disced, but enough mois-
ture might be conserved to more than
offset the loss of the smaller amount
of SNOW. The practice has resulted
so we'll in other sections that it
should be given a trial here"

THORWALDSON LEGALLYDEAD
Court Acts in Disappearance Case of
Eight Years Standing.

o. Thorwaldson was adjudged dead

ance eight years ago, when he retired
to a berth in a Great Northern sleeper

never to be heard from again, being re-
sponsible for the courts action.

IN administrator and the distribution
of the property was made by a brother
Of the missing man and he and othes
relatives told of the search they had
made and as a result Thorwaldson was
declared to be officially dead.
The disappearance of Thorwaldson

in North Dakota. With his sister he
had justleft for the Pacific coast for a
visit and they were only a short dis

tired to his berth. The next morning
when he failed to appear the sister
began an inquiry, but he could not be

Minister Confesses to Murder
Of Miss unne|I.
IS STRICKEN WITH REMORSE
Declares He Has Suffered the Tor.
lures of the Damned Since
Committing Act.

Boston, Jan. REV. Clarence Vir
gil Thompson Richeson, former pas
tor of the fashionable Emmanuel Bap.
fist church of Cambridge, has made
a written confession to the effect that
he poisoned his former sweetheart,
Avis Linrell. The statement was
given into the hands OF his counsel,
who made the confession public. The
full text OF the confession follows:
Gentlemen: Deeply penitent for
my sin, and earnestly desiring as far
as in my power lies to make atone
ment, l hereby confess that l ar
guilty of the offense of which l stanr
indicted.
ri am moved to this course by NJ
inducement of settlement or leniency
Heinous as is my crime, God has no,
wholly abandoned me, and my con
science and manhood, however de
prived and blighted, will not admit OF
my still further wronging by a public
trial her whose pure young life have
destroyed. Under the lashings of re-
horse l have suffered and am suffer
ing the %tortures of the damned.
"In this l find a measure of conf
fort. In my mental anguish 1 recog-
nize that there is still, by the mercy
of the Master, some remnant of the
divine spark of goodness still linger-
ing with me l could wish to live
only because within some prison walls
l might, IN some small measure, re-
deem my sinful past, help some other
despairing soul and at last find favor
with my God.
You are instructed to deliver this
to the district attorney or to the
judge of the court"
AS Richeson stands today before
the law he is indicted for the muir
der in the first degree of Miss Linnell
by giving her cyanide of potassium.
The penalty for such a crime in Mas
sachusetts is death. If Richeson
stands in court on Jan. 16, the date
set for his trial, and acknowledges
his guilt in accordance with his state,
ment, the court, under the law, would
be obliged to impose the death sen.
tence, in the opinion of courthouse
officials.

NOVEMBER WEDDINGS LEAD
Grand Forks Statistics Upset Theories
About June Brides,

June az a month of brides takes
third place in North Dakota, according
to figures in the Grand Forks county
judge of probate's Office. The average
of marriage licenses issued during the
past four years puts November and
October, in the order named, ahead of
June. In November the average num-
Der of marriage licenses issued is
forty for four years; in October it is
1875, and in June it is 32.75. December
ie fourth, with 32.5 marriage licenses
as the average.
That the crop conditions govern the
marriage business is shown from the
fact that three months after harvest
time are among the first four in the
average column. In January the low
water mark in the marriage bureau
is reached.
Another situation that is shown by
the figures for the past four years is
found in the fact that leap year has
the smallest number of matrimonial
ventures.

Less Than First Reported
Five killed and ten seriously injured
Is the list officially reported in regard

official statement. DR.. Savre was on

Il will state positively that there
were only five killed in the wreck of

bodies recovered and have been
identified beyond a doubt. There were
NO bodies cremated beyond recognition
and the story that eight we're killed is
absolutely without foundation of fact.
