A significant line in the dispatch

those saved by the Carpathia, nearly
ell were women and children. Should
no other vessel have picked up any
other passengers of the sinking steam

on board were saved, the proportion
of women and children among the pas

MYSTERY At MOTT
Woman Evidently Commits Suicide
From Mental Troubles.,

Mott, N. D., Nov. 25.-Mrs. Clara
Zit2e was found dead in her rooms
over the postofice Monday night.
Her head was wrapped in towel
and beside her was some cotton
which had evidently been soaked in
chloroform. In her grip was a part
of the contents of bottle of chlo-
roform. The woman's stomach was
removed after the >coroner's inquest
and sent to Prof, Ladd at the agri-
cultural college for examination.
Mrs. zitze came to Mott last
March from Oakes, and with her
husband worked as a compositor on
the Pioneer Press. They were mar
lried over year ago, but their ma
rital relations have been marred by
frequent quarrels, one Of which.
violent one, occurred Saturday even
ing. That night the husband went
to the little town Of Burt, where he
played for dance, and when he re-
turned at 5 o'clock Sunday morning
he went to a local hotel.
The woman left one child, small

SO, for the reason that Chapter Il,
the Laws OF N. D. for 1911. provide
that the rates and charges fixed in
said franchise may be altered by the
municipality every five years.
The promoters of the enterprise
consider this as but a five year fran
chise, and while matters might be
amicably adjusted at the end of each
five year period, the opportunity
would exist to cause strife and place
distractions in the way of transact
ing business with the company.

MIDLAND RY. OFFICIALS
WILL INSPECT NEW LINE
Special Train to Be Run Over Nj. C..
II. r.. Between Edgeley and
Jamestown, Dec. 5.

Officers, stockholders and direct
ors Of the Midland Continental rail-
way company will make their first
trip of inspection over the new line
of the railroad, between Edgeley
and jamestown, next Thursday, De-
cember 5. They will come from
Chicago to Edgeley, via Aberdeen,
and from Edgeley travel over the
newly completed railroad to James
town. At Edgeley the train will be
met by delegation of jamestown
business men, and members of the
Commercial club, who will retrn
with the railroad officials. Upon
their arrival in the city the visitors
will be entertained at smoker and
luncheon in the Elks hall. Reach
ing jamestown at noon, the Mid
land railway officials will spend the
rest of the day in this city.
The Importance of the new rail-
road to jamestown, giving this city
railroad facilities, passen-
ger, freight, and also express, and
making it a competitive point is
large. Every business man who can
possibly do SO, should take advan-
tage Of this opportunity to meet and
welcome the builders Of the new
road to jamestown, and also Of the
opportunity to inspect the Midland
railway between this city and Edge
ley in \ special train which will be
furnished by the M. G. Ry. Those
who are unable to make the trip.
snould,. however, attend the lunch
con at the Elks hall at noon, which
will be in the nature of social ses-
sion or good fellowship meeting.
The prospects for the growth Of
Jamestown in population and in
business are greatly frightened by
the entrance Of the new railroad,
and with the possibility Of still an
other line centering in this city,
namely, the Minneapolis & St Louis
from Watertown, S. D., the
outlook for this city is unusually
rosy. .s

TOOK CHILDREN FROM
FOSTER PARENTS.

Kuhn Messenger: State Humane
Officer Blake was here and took a
couple of adopted children away
from the home they had been placed
in. Upon good authority we are
told these brutes numerically beat
the children, one a little girl about
three years old, and both of their
bodies were covered with black and
blue spots from the mistreatment
meted out to them. We think the
humane officer made a mistake in
not having these foster parents
prosecuted.
