R IS ENDORSED
BY Enthusiastic Democrats at FARGO
Meeting.

Fargo.-The North Dakota Dem
ocrats Endorsed Governor John Burke
for the presidency as their first choice
and failing a chance to nominate him,
Endorsed a progressive candidate who
will carry out the policies of w. j.
Bryan.
The Endorsement came after a ban
quet at which Governor Burke was
the central figure and T. j. Walsh Of
Helena as the chief speaker. Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson was represent
ed by c. G. Heffner of Seattle.
Governor Burke has not decided If
he will be a candidate for governor
and has not decided against 1t. The
chances are that he will be forced
into a fourth term fight. His friends
are anxious to put him forward ma
tionally. They believe there is a
chance for a place for Governor Burke
In the cabinet Of the next administra-
ton, If 1t is Democratic. They do not
believe he can make either the presi-
dency or the vice presidency.
The banquet of the afternoon was
the occasion for a splendid outburst of
Democratic enthusiasm. While star
figures advertised for the occasion, w.
]. Bryan and others, were not pres
ent, T. j. Walsh Of Helena made a
brilliant substitute, while C. G.. Heff-
ner of Seattle spoke for Governor
Wilson.

FRAUD IS
That Is Charge Made by Grain Seller
Against couIee Buyer.

Stanley.-Charged with failure to re-
deem storage checks issued for grain
placed in his elevator at Coulee In
Mountrail county, NJ. C. Graham is in
the limelight, a warrant for his arrest
being issued by States Attorney Roy
Miller. Mr.. Graham has been a promi-
nent grain Spectator in this section
OF North Dakota, and owns elevators
at Stanley, Coulee and Manitou, in this
state, and in Mondak, Mont. He also
is interested in a paper supply house
in Minneapolis, a general store at Lit
tie Falls, Mimi, a general store at
Ross. N. d., and in the implement bust
ness here.
The complaint against Graham was
made by a farmer of the Coulee dis
trict, who claims to hold storage tick
cts which the elevator owner has re-
fused to honor and redeem. He con-
tends that fraud is being attempted,
and that he is being euchered out of
his grain through such alleged frau
dulant practices.

RELIGIOUS HOAX IN INDIA
People Drink From stagnant Pool
Scented With Stolen Perfume and
Story Spreads Of Spring.

Calcutta--One Of the most extra
ordinary religious hoaxes ever record
ed even In India has just occurred
In the northern part Of Calcutta.
A pool of stagnant water formed
from the accumulation Of sewage
from roadside drains suddenly began,
according to the local Inhabitants, to
emit a sweet perfume which had a
lovely lemon flavor, Many people
came. smelt. and were conquered, and
the rumor spread that the pool was
holy and that a new goddess would
soon rise from its waters to redeem
the world.
The pool became a place Of pilgrim
age. Diseased people bathed in 1t
and drank of it, and those Of uneasy
conscience washed away their sins in
1t. The water was carried away in
jugs and bottles and a brisk trade
sprang up under the aegis Of an astute
young Bengalee in selling the "holy
water" In all parts Of the city at as
much as $3.50 a bottle.
News Of the holy perfume came to
the + Of Bose & Co., scent manu-.
facturers. who sent a connoisseur to
investigate. His nose Immediately
provided him with a clew to the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of several cases
OF essential oils belonging to the firm.
n police found that several broken
bottles Of the oils had been thrown
into the pool. This was the explana.
ton of the holy smell.
The young Bengalee and a carter,
suspected Of having stolen the oils,
were arrested.

1t has been estimated that at least
1.0OO.0 900 pieces were required for the
