ing to pave the way for the 1914 DO.
litical activities.
Look Good to Dems.
North Dakota, when seen through
the democratic eye. appears to he
prolific field for the Woodrow Wilson
party. and they propose making the
hest OF any opportunity that may exist.
While not overlooking the fact that
there are state offices to be filled. the
party will make its strongest bid for
the United States senatorehip and
three seats in the house of representa-
tives.

Duets is the plan promulgated by the
democratic congressional committee,
under the direction Of which a SINH
lar gathering will be held in st. Paul
January z.
At each of the North Dakota gath
erings there will be one or two figures
Of national prominence. and 1t is also
possible that former Governor Burke
of North Dakota will be a speaker at
one Of the sessions.
Unsettled Conditions Favorable.
With the present unsettled condition
in the republican party, and the prob
ability that the third party will have
a full ticket in the field in this state.
tho dems are confident that they will
be able to make a big hole in the OPP
position strength in North Dakota.
The question Of candidates will be
quite thoroughly discussed Mt each
of the coming banquets, tho purpose
being to crystalize sentiment.
..5 Burke Seems Certain.
That Burke will become a. senatorial
candidate now seems absolutely cer-
tain. Several North Dakotans who
have talked with the former governor
within the past few weeks confirm
the belief that he will get into the
fight soon. and his announcement may
be forthcoming at the time of ono of
the other banquets.

CHANGE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
New Law Provides That All Bills O
County be Paid Through Check.

County Clerk Jones mas received
from Madison copy Of a new law
which provides for q new system Of
accounting for counties in the state.
Under this proposed bill all accounts
of the county regardless of the nat
ure of them must be paid by vouchers
which must have the sanction of the
county clerk. Clerk Jones declares
that it would be all but impossible to
make this system operative in the
county on account of the fact that
some vouchers for county work are
sent out from state commissions and
state officials. The new law is caus-
ing considerable excitement among the
clerks of the state and it is probable
that there will be many objections to
its passage.

ing. Death resulted from an attack

time the final summons came Mrs
Christensen was sitting in rocking
chair in the living room of her house,
her two children and her husband be-
ing in the same room. She had been
talking with her husband sec
ond before she slipped from the chair
When he reached her she was dead
Mrs. Christensen had been in usual
health during the day and she had
eaten hearty supper. After supper

WORKED AS FARM HAND.
Mrs. Nellie schlitz Seeking Divorce,
Claims She Had to Work in Fields.

Alleging that she was forced to work
in the fields as an ordinary farmland,
Mrs. Nellie Schlitz has filed suit in
the circuit court demanding a divorce
from her husband, Michael Schlitz
Both are residents of the town Of
Paris. In her complaint Mrs. Schlitz
alleges that she was married to
Schlitz in 1901 at Kenosha and that
for more than ten years he has treated
her in cruel manner. She declares
that he forced her to go into the field
and do the work of farm hand and
then abused her in sensational man
ner. Further cause for divorce is the
alleged desertion of Schlitz in May
of last year. The plaintiff asks that
she be awarded the custody of her
daughter ten years of age and that she
be given a portion of the estate Of
the defendant. Schlitz is said to be
the owner Of 240 acres of land in the
town of Paris.

of the constructively continuous leg
islative session. The idea is not to
have the sessions in actual progress
for the entire two years, but to have
the legislature meet from time to time
for actual floor work and have inter
i'm committee sessions during which
the bills may be examined. In this
way the legislature will be ready at
any time to meet state questions as
they arise and would not be limited
for time in which to give these ques-
ticns definite and thorough considera-
ton. The work on the wage compen-
sation act demonstrated that thorough
committee work prevents many legis-
lative hardships and is the best meth
cd of perfecting legislation.
On the other hand it is maintained
that should legislative sessions become
continuous much of the chaf which
now biennially appears at every SEES
WOulO D6 blluludIcQ anu Uuly
real questions having positive mean
ing to the people would be taken up.
There is no question that much Of
the time of the regular session of the
Legislature is occupied by measures
which have no meaning whatever and
are of no particular value to anyone.
These bills, however, take the atten-
tion Of Legislators and take time for
handling, and if the legislature was
constructively in session all the time
but few of them would ever appear
around the legislative halls The con-
structively continuous sessions of the
legislature would also put the legis-
lature on a new plane and would
arouse interest which could not help
but be beneficial to the public. What
is more, the constructively continuous
session of the legislature is taking a
deep root and considerable will be
heard about it when the senate takes
up the Johnson resolution limiting the
length Of sessions.

WAS EMPLOYED ON MARQUETTE
George Davis, Milwaukee Man who
Disappeared from the Boat on New
Years is Thought to have. been Acct
dentally Drowned Seek Relatives.

The body of George Davis, formerly
employed as freight handler on
board the steamer City of Marquette
of the Hill Steamboat Line, was
found floating in the Kenosha harbor
at an early hour this morning. Davis
had disappeared on New Years day
and none Of the men on board the
steamer had heard anything of him
until this morning when his body was
seen floating a few feet from the
steamer. The body was badly decom.
posed and it is thought that Davis met
death in the harbor shortly after he
left the boat. The body was removed
to the Hansen morgue and Coroner
Millager called q jury to Investigate
the case. In the meantime efforts are
being made to locate members of the
family Of Davis said to be residing
in Milwaukee.
Davis came to Kenosha from Mil
Waukee nearly two years ago and
shipped on the Marquette. Off and on
from that time he had been on the
Hill boat. He was about fifty years
Of age and he is said to be survived
by a widow and two daughters.
Captain Hill in discussing the find
ing of the body this morning, said:
The last we saw or heard of Davis
until his body was found floating near
the boat this morning was on New
Years day. At that time he came to
the warehouse and secured his money
and declared that he was going to his
home in Milwaukee. He never re-
turned to the boat seeking employ
nNent, but we had not been called upon
to make any search for him. Davis
was considerable Of drinker. We
do not think that he fell off the boat
The place where the body was found
would indicate that he had returned
to the docks and had possibly made
an effort to get on the boat and fell
into the mud in the harbor Davis
was hard worker and during his long
employment by the company had be-
come well known to people in the lake
ports.
At the time Davis left the Marquette
on January last he had sufficient money
to take him to Milwaukee, but when
the body was searched today nothing
but little tobacco and some handker-
chiefs was found in the pockets of the
clothing. The police do not believe that
the man met with any foul play and
they account for the fact that he had
no money with the suggestion that he
probably spent what he had treating
his friends. 1t is thought that Davis
fell into the harbor on the first day
Of the year and that his body had
been held by the mud until the change
in winds brought it to the surface. 1t
is expected that members of the family
will come to Kenosha from Milwaukee
and provide for the burial of the man.
