The first false alarm was turned in

Persisted IN
SNOW STORM
School Teacher North Of Bel

October Storm.

Dickinson. N. D.. Nov. 11.-Miss
Hattie Bedford, a school teacher ~
the district about seven miles north
Of Belfeld was lost in the snow storm
of October %. and several days later
her lifeles body was found In a frozen
heap. This is one Of the saddest events
that has ever occurred in this part
Of the state. happening as it did so
early in the season and in such a
strange manner q.
Miss Bedford had left the school
house where she was teaching at the
regular time. and started to walk to
her boarding house at Mr.. Norton's.
about two and a half miles away.
Snow fallen all day. accompanied by
quite a high wind and apparently the
lady miscalculated directions and
wandered around In n hlinding snow
until she became exhausted and PROB
ably sat down to rest, when n was
with the cold and persisted.
She had been talking OF changing
her boarding place. n the Norton
family. with whom she had been stay.
ing, were not alarmed when she did
not return. They thought b had
gone to another place. When she fan,
ed to be at her duties at the schoo'
house, the other people of the neigh
borhood supposed she was i'll and 1t
was a whole week before her absence
was discovered and search was made.
The body was found about half a mile
south Of the Dick Rogan home and
taken to Belfeld in charge Of Under
taker Bishop.
Miss Belford's folks in Michigan
have been notified Of her death and
the body was being held for an an
swer. This Is the first death Of this
kind in this part Of the state and It
casts a feeling Of horror over every
one and is a terrible warning for
country teachers or others not to
leave q place Of refuge for the open
prairie In one of these storms 1t was
probably the first time in the history
Of the state that SO much snow fell so
early in the season.
Much sympathy is extended to the

WEBSTER NOT
MUCH AGITATED
OVER POLITICS
SAYS SHERIFF CHRISTIAN
LitllejOhR and Crisp Have
Many Warm Friends

Sheriff Christian, of Webster coun-
ty, spent yesterday in the city at
tending to business matters.
The sheriff stated that politics in
Webster were, as yet, in a somnolent
state. No announcements have been
made, and it is quite possible that
things over there will not be enlivened
as they have been in Sumter by some
heated races.
Asked about the presidential pref
erence in Webster, Sheriff Christian
stated that the matter was but little
discussed Each candidate prominent
ly named had admirers and support
ers, but no one was growing wild
over the matter, no efforts at organi-
zation had been made in any ones ia
vor, and it was doubtful if any vast
enthusiasm would be stirred up for
any candidate.
1--WE will probably arrange to hold
our county primaries on whatever
date the state executive committee
calls the presidential primary for, .
said the sheriff. ut is early in April
though, l fear there will be many a
voter who will be so busy trying to
catch up in his farm work, after these
prolonged rains, that he will neglect
voting and stay behind the plow in
stead. In view of the fact that ali
farm operations are weeks and weeks
behind it looks as though it is really
a bad step to arrange for an early
primary, just at the time when farm
ers are rushing their operations to
make a crop"
Asked about the congressional race,
Sheriff Christian stated that both
Judge Littleiohn and Judge Crisp had
host of warm friends in Webster
and that great interest centered in
the decision that Judge Littlejohn
might make. If the Judge does not en-
ter the i~Sld Sheriff Christian stated
that Webster would go for Crisp. He
| declined to express any opinion as to
which would carry Webster in the
event that Littlejohn and Crisp were
both in the field
Sheriff Christian has made one of
the most acceptable officers Webster
has ever had and there is ample EVIL
dence that the people are well pleased
with his services, and that he will
continue in office, probably without
opposition.

PUSHING CULTURE
OF ASPARAGUS
Numbers Going Into 1t at
MdrShalIVilIe

The Times-Recorder has already re-
ferred to the expansion of the aspara-
gus growing industry around Mar
shallville, and Responsibilities that
lie in the cultivation of that plant
around Americus. The climatic condi-
tions and the soil conditions here are
regarded as highly favorable for pro-
fitable asparagus growing. A recent
news article from Marshallville has
this to say of the work being done i'll
that direction at that enterprising
point
Speight Baldwin, we'll known in Ma
con and the leading cotton buyer in
Marshallville, states that in his opin-
ion the growing of asparagus would,
in few years, equal the returns from
peaches.
He said that there were at least 600
acres planted in this delectable vege-
table, and that the older the plants
were the greater their production.
Mayor Hardy Richard sold one crate
last year for $5O-a crate of forty
eight pounds
John Murph, one of the wealthy
young planters of that city, has fif-
teen acres that comes into bearing this
year.
Jake Haslam has been receiving
good money from this vegetable for
years
S. H. Rumph, propagation of the ia
nous Elberta, has caught the spirit
and planted fifty acres.
Louis A. Rumph, long identified with
the growing of peaches, has not los:
faith in that industry, but seeing the
simmer along the prospect sky has
given several acres to the growing of
asparagus.
Out in California asparagus will not
last over eight years; down at Mar
shallville it produces more than TWEEN
ty years old than before and thus II
is attracting the attention of the good
business men of that community.

ATLANTA GOT FIRST TASTE
REAL BASEBALL YESTERDAY
Practice Game Was Snappy and Gin
gerry As Starter.

Atlanta, March 12.-The New Yort
American baseball club now in train
ing at Ponce De Leon, put on the first
real ball game of the 1912 training
season this morning.
The team has been here at work for
over a week, and Manager Wolvertoa
was able to get a line on many of his
youngsters by their work in the
practice game.
Manager Hemphill, of the Atlanta
club. was also much interested in the
opening game. He will get several
youngster from the Yankee outfit, and
is watching with great interest the
workof eachas to pick the best from
the available bunch.
AS it now appears, he will likely
land one outfielder, an infielder, and
left-handed twirler.
These are the only three positions
on the Atlanta club that now appear
to be weak. Most noticeable among
the youngsters who are liable to come
to Atlanta are Infielders Coleman
from the Northwestern Lague, Prizes
from the Virginia, and Curry from
the Eastern. Zinn and Kauff are sur'
to land here as outfelders. None o
the twirlers has yet had enough worl
to decide their future. Hoff has al
appearances of being the left-hande
Manager Hemphill is after.

LA Toilette
TO ATTACK
ROOSEVELT
WISCONSIN man WELL AGAIN
Expected to LambaSt the EX-
President at Once

Washington, D. c., March 12.-The
dead calm which has hovered over the
presidential headquarters of Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette during the last
two weeks is said by prOgressives at
the Capitol to be indicative of big
political storm
The Wisconsin senator has been
keeping himself closely contend to
his home, seeing no one except those
in the inmost circle of his friends. He
is recovering his health, and there is
authority for saying that in the near
future he will burst forth with Wig
orous attack on Roosevelt's candidacy.
The basis of his assault it is said,
will be the colonel's alleged affiliation
with the steel and harvester trusts,
and his friendship for George w.
Perkins and Medill Mccormick
AS an indication of Mr.. La Follette's
early return to the fray, the following
statement, over his signature and un
der the caption, Men and Issues" ap-
pears in the current issue of the La
Folylette's Magazine
Gives Views of Campaign Issues
con February 26 a New York dis
patch in the Washington Post said:
Politicians who have been following
the national situation say that La
Toilette will shortly make an attack
on Col Roosevelt, showing that rep
reservations were made to him by
friends of the colonel to the effect that
he LA Follette) was the ideal man to
make the fight against President Taft.
1T is not a matter of great import
ance to the public why became can
didate.
The issues of this campaign is the
light of the individual, the farmer, the
worker, every man who pays the trib
ute to free himself by lawful means
from the unjust exactions of the tar
iff, the railroads, the trusts, the money
power controlling capital and credit
and every form of oppression by
special privilege.
"In the presence of these great prob
lens personal attacks upon candidates
should have no place.
But to determine the fitness of a
candidate to perform a particular SER
vice, the public has a right to require
the candidate to state each problem
and offer his solution of that problem
The public has the further right t.
know what the candidate has actually
done toward solving the problem
whether his course of action on tht
whole gives assurance of profounC
convictions and ability of judgment
whether he is best equipped by patien
investigation and practical experience
to deal with these problems construc
lively in the public interest.

OFF
ON TRIP TO
BUENA VISTA
TO LEAVE THIS AFTERNOON
Indications For a Big Success
This Evening

This afternoon the local company, OF
players who are to present THE Lost
Jewels of Hotchjcotchj" at the opera
house at Buena Vista will leave on
the afternoon train to be in readiness
for the performance there tonight.
Indications are that there will be .
very large crowd of visitors to accom-
pany the players from Americus, so
that it will be jolly crowd that will
leave on the afternoon train. The re-
turn trip will be made, unless some
thing occurs to prevent, on the Sem
mole Limited tonight.
The cessation of the rains and the
weather forecast for fair and colder
weather today will be realized, it is
hoped, as under such auspicious cir
cumstances a full attendance should
be present at the performance in
Buena Vista tonight. The curtain will!
go up at $50, but parts of the per-
formance will be omitted in order to
finish the play before or by II o'clock,
as the returning train, when on time,
leaves Buena Vista at II o'clock.
Every member of the company will
go on the trip tonight, so that the cast
will be complete. They will leave
in the best of spirits, and it is believ-
ed that the presentation of the play
and the entire trip will prove most
pleasant and enjoyable for all who at
tend. The train leaves from the Cen
trail station for Buena Vista at
o'clock this afternoon, and the return
train leaves Buena Vista at 11:2C
o'clock. There will be no special
train so that the regular accommoda-
tions only will be secured.

REGISTRATION IS ABOVE
THE SIX HUNDRED MARK
Has Been Very Spirited in City Bond Election For Last Few
DaVS-WiII Go Above Seven Hundred According to-
Indications, Probably Breaking Records

II is probable that the registratlo1
for the city bond election will breaH
oil records, at least such is the indi
oarion from the spirited manner in
which names have been placed upon
tba registration list during the past
few days.
# will be recalled that the registra
+ion for the municipal election last
fall was the largest in the history OF
tho citv. but it is not unlikely that the
registration now in progress may even
eclipse that by a good number, as the
interest in the outcome of the elec
tion is very strong.
Members of both factions here are
doing everything possible to get the
largest registration that can be OBJ
tanned. With this end in view every
resident of the city who can qualify
TO vote in the election is being care
fully looked up, and taxes are bein5
paid in many instances to secure the
largest registration possible.
The campaign is being largely
fought now by means of the registra-
ton list, though the matter of cards
and press notices is being employed
to some degree. The campaign is be-
ing waged in very lively manner now,
so that it will be warm till the end
of the balloting on March 20, which is
today week.
The matter of registration will be
kept up vigorously until the time for
registration closes on Friday so that
there are only three days remaining
in which names may be registered fol
the election During this time the
list of names will be increased rapid
ly, so that at the close of the time 70,
registering Friday night it is believed
that a record registration will have
been enrolled.

CANDIDATES
PAID their
ASSESSMENTS

Not single one of the candidates
who had announced failed to pay their
fees as required by the democratic e :
ecutiqe &C committee, as was shown yes
terday by reference to the record as
kept by Chairman W. B. Heys, of tAe
county democratic executive commit
tee.
This puts every candidate fairly in
the running according to the require
ments of the democratic party, so that
things will go along merrily now un-
til the end of the campaign. The reg
istration books do not close until
March 20, one day before the primary
itself, so that there still remains con-
siderable time for registration.
There is no let-up in the matter OF
registration, which is progressing as
rapidly as could well be expected. The
number of names already indicates a
very large registration. Aside from
this indication of the widespread in
terest in the results, the current of
politics is running deep, with little in
dication on the surface of how strong
it is.
So many different political matters
are to be settled, city, county, state
and national, during the year, that the
complexion of political affairs is con
siderably colored Primary after pri-
mary will keep the political teeth OF
J the public on edge until the end OF
