FOUND DEAD IN
HIS own HOME
TWO HORSES WERE STARVED TO
DEATH IN BARN AFTER
OWNER DIED.

Langdon, N. D., Nov. 30.-AIfred
Haines of Easily went over to see his
brother, John, who lives alone and
only a short distance from his broth
er's home, and finding the house lock-
ed from the inside and getting no re-
spouse from his calls, broke in and
found his brother on the bed dead.
Mr.. Haines Immediately summoned
Coroner Gibson from Langdon, who
made, during the afternoon, a thor
ough examination of the, body Of the
dead man, and found that death was
due to natural causes, is there was no
evidence of foul play and the man had
not come to his death by his w
hands. It was LEANED, however, that
the unfortunate man had displayed
symptoms of Bright's disease prior to
his death, and the condition of the
body fully sustaining such a theory,
an inquest was deemed unnecessary.
1t was the opinion Of Coroner Glib
sol that the man had been dead per-
haps two weeks, Judging from the
condition of the body and other con-
ditions about the place. Two horses
which were tied in the barn had starv-
ed death, and another that had
been running loose was still alive.
The stock was also alive. but nearly
starved. There was no evidence of
confusion in the home, but on the
other hand 1t would appear that the
man had just fallen asleep after a
days work, and had died from an at
tack of heart trouble. His clothes
were still on and in his pockets were
found approximately $4,000 in cur
rency and bankable paper.

WAS DROWNED

Moose Jaw, sask., Nov. 30.-The
Moose Jaw river has claimed it's
eighth victim of, the year, George
Stenson going to his death while
canoeing. 1t is thought that he was
able to swim, but that he was taken
with cramps when nearly in to shore,
and his body disappeared before help
could reach him. D. o..
Mr.. Stenson was in the employ of
the telephone company, having come
here a short time ago from Manitoba.
He was a resident of Mylo, N. D. Lur-
ed by the fine weather Of yesterday
he rented a canoe and started up the
river alone. When just past the first
bend the frafl craft upset. Two men
who gave their names as w. A. Duff
and M. Blunt, saw the man from the
railway tracks, and heard him cry for
aid, but by the time they had reached
the spot the body had disappeared.

SCHOOL At FORT
. IOTIEN CLOSED

Devils Lake. N. D.. Nov. S0.-Fire,
which yesterday completely destroyed
the power plant ana water tank at
Fort Totten, has made it necessary to
close the reservation school. The
power plant furnished water, light
and heat to the school and the other
buildings, and with it's destruction 1t
is impossible to hold school, until
other arrangements are made for heat
ing and lighting it.
The fire started at 1880 o'clock yes
terday morning, and in a very short
time had wiped out the power plant
and water tower. The damage to the
building alone amounts to $4,000 while
it has been impossible to estimate the
damage to the machinery.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but it is not improbable that an over
heated furnace was the cause Of it.

THE CUBAN REBELLION,

The life of the Cuban rebellion has
doubtless been removed by the killing
Of Estenoz. the rebel leader. in the bat
tie of Micaro. Havana seems conf
dent Of the ending of the uprising,
now that this leader is gone. 1t was
General Estenoz who inspired the re-
beliion and the organizing OF party
on racial lines alone. The fooIishness
Of the rebellion as well as that of such
a party was apparent at the start and
many lives and much property have
been sacrificed in a short period. The
better class Of negroes did not fellow
the direction of the dead general and
it was under fear that many others
did.
Whether Cuba will be able to han
die her election alone this year can
be determined largely by the outcome
Of the uprising. When President Co
mez was elected, the United States
supervised the election, but that was
four years ago, and Cuba is supposed
to be able to handle her own affairs
now. Only at the request of Cuba
would this country take any part in
the election this year, but it may be
necessary in order to have it fairly
conducted.
The sending of the marines to the
island and the stationing of cruisers
in nearby positions, had an important
effect upon the rebellion. 1t prevented
the necessity of Intervention, which
looked unavoidable at one time, and
shows fhe vaIua OF fOrca which cor,

we'll as the need of vessels which

TIPS FOR TRAVELLERS.

If you are likely to patronize the
cooler of the boat or train take a little
drinking cup along with you. This is
a sanitary precaution now observed by
all good travellers. Pretty little fold
ing cups of nickel in neat cases tml-
tating leather are 81. A small glass
put in the same sort of case is % and
40 cents. Two lemons could be includ-
ed with this. and the juice win make
the water more refreshing.
If you are likely to carry much
money or one or two bits of jewelry.
put the valua.bles in a channels bag
and hang it by a stout ribbon about
your neck. Little pouches for the pur-
pose. with snap fastenings and the
neck ribbon can be had in many big
drug stores for 20 cents. Beware OF
getting one Of the huge bags made in
the same manner for wearing under
the skirt-perhaps attached with a
safety pin TO the corset. Much wealth
has been lost in this manner as the
pins sometimes come loose, when there
is absolutely nothing left to secure the
pouch. The pockets hung from the
waist are equally unsafe.
If you are likely TO have only a small
amount of money for extras and the
trip is to be a long one carry some
edibles with you. Dining car prices
are ruinous to light purses, and, be-
sides, one is Obliged to fee the walters.
A little s cent box of milk biscuits. a

and six butternuts will do for three

LEssENINe DEATHS IN MINES.

Good news is that which is issued
by the bureau of mines to the effect
that the high tide in the terrible death
rate in American coal mines has been
reached and passed. This conclusion
comes from the fact that there were
but 2.5lI deaths last year against
1884 in 1910. or a decrease from 391
per thousand employed to 3.74. There
has been . steady decrease since 1907
which was the darkest year in the his
tory Of mining II was the terrible
record Of that year which caused the
government to begin investigations for
the purpose Of reducing the death rate,
and, year before last, at the suggestion
Of President Taft, the bureau Of minea
was established.
While there is comfort in the fact
that the death rate is decreasing in
the mines, vet there is opportunity for
the work 10 continue for a still great
er decrease. There is being shown a
cooperation in this humanitarian
work which speeds IT along. the state

LIE WALTERS, LOSS.

With the striking walters in New
York returning 10 their work without
recognition Of their union but with
some Of the demands granted which
we're asked when the strike opened,
the hotel keepers have won decided
victory. At the time when the strike
was called many of the employers
promised the increase in pay, better
food and hours and the lessening of
the fines. Nevertheless, the walters
struck and have since been out Of work
until the past week. Now, they are
going back TO work, where they can
get taken back. at the terms they were
offered when they left. The strike
has been a failure, and it will require

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN

Haven't there been days when you
felt all the innate meanness in you
rising to the surface? 1t is as if the
central fires of human cussedness had
found their way by some volcanic ifs
sure in your nature, to daylight and
consciousness.
Days they are when you are just
plain mean. You want to bite and not
to kiss, to scowl and not to smile
to kick and not to dance, to sulk and
not to play, to rebel and not to con-
form. All the spirit of jailors, tyrants
kings, inquisitors, crOchety old men,
disagreeable old women, naughty chill
dren, hayward youth. witches. hays,
pirates and bandits, somehow gets dis
titled into your mood.
If you were a child you would have
II out, you would give vent to the
Old Nick in YOU until some one kindly
spanked him out Of you. Alas! there
is no spanker for grown ups. That
regard as one Of the greatest needs
Of civilization, a spanking machine
for cantankerous ADULTS.
There Is no other known cure for
this evil in the blood. For such A
time that the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary q vigorous apph-
cation of the hand or slipper or shingle
to the southern extremity Of the hu-
man anatomy has been the tried and
true remedy for general meanness.
I do not believe in corporal punish

objectionable. TO horsewhip is IN

UNITED STATES FOREIGN CON-
MERGE.

One of the great avenues of trade
in which this country is vitality inter-
ested is it's foreign commerce. With
the steady efforts to build it up and
place American goods in foreign mar
kets. the foreign commerce of the
country made a new and remarkable
record for the fiscal year just ended.
-Four billion dollars was the value of
the merchandise which entered and left
this country in its trade with foreign
lands during the 1919 fiscal year. which
Of course included the trade with the
island possessions. The value Of man
ufactured articles exported was more
than billion dollars, while nondutia-
Bile merchandise entering the country
equaled like amount, 900 million
coming from foreign countries and
about 100 million from Hawaii and
Porto Rico. The value of duty-free
merchandise entering from foreign
countries the past year not only eX-
ceeds by far that of any earlier year,
but also forms a larger share Of the
total imports than in any previous year
except 1892 and 1894. the opening and
closing years of the operation of the
Mckinley law when the imports of
sugar free from duty were abnormally
large.
