DEATH OF HON.
D. 3. WELLMAN
Funeral at Bismarck Of Old Time
Settler of Eddy County.

The death Of David B. Wel1man,
who resided west Of Bismarck the
last few years in Morton county. oc-
Cured at q Fargo hospital Tuesday
morning. Death, was due to cancer,
from which he had been suffering for
some time.

Gated In 1883. He took up q home
stead and became owner Of a section

VETERANS BACK
FROM GETTYSBURG
A $40 Extra Donation Came From
Committee of Arrangements.

Most of the G. A. r. veterans of
the local post have returned from the
Gettysburg celebration, and although
the weather was warm, the trip and
the events of the program were
greatly enjoyed. The statement that
preceded their return, made in a dis
patch to Fargo and Bismarck papers,
and dsprinted generally throughout the
state that each of the veterans were
given $40 from the private funds Of
Gov. Hanna, was misleading and in
correct, according to the G. A. r.
men Of this post. The committee in
charge OF furnishing transportation
consisted Of the governor, and Com
rades seigfrid of Fargo, and supt.
Carroll of the soldiers home. One
hundred and sixty veterans attended
from North Dakota. The committee
paid the round trip railroad fare for
each veteran, also for the berths on
the going trip. The veterans paid
for their own meals.
Before returning the committee
found that there would be about ST.
600 left from the money appropriat-
ed for the purpose by the legislature,
over and above the expenses already
incurred, which permitted each vet
eran to receive $40 with his return
ticket. This gift was appreciated,
as It helped pay the return expenses
Of meals and incidentals. The fact
that Gov. Hanna was at the head Of
the committee probably led to an
unintentional misstatement OF the
facts in the case by some Of the en-
thusiastic veterans.

TWO CENT RATE LAW
!. Is NOW EFFECTIVE
Large Reduction in Travel Expenses
in Minnesota Fare to Twin
Cities Lowered.

Fargo, July 21.-The two-cent
rate on the railroads out Of Fargo to
points in Minnesota went into effect
at 12:O1 O'Clock this morning and
this is a reduction of one-third Of the
fare which the travellers had to pay
to points in that state before mid
night last night.
The freight rate to points in the
Gopher state from Fargo and other
North Dakota points will also be re-
duced for the distance covered in the
former state. Rates in North Da-.
kota are unaffected by this change
in the tariffs of the railroads.
Prior to midnight last night and
dating back to July L. 1911, the fare
on the roads il Minnesota was three
cents per mile. The state of Min
nesota enacted two-cent law in the
summer of 1907 and this rate was
in effect until the roads were order
ed to return to the old rate of three
cents per mile, which order went
into effect July 1, 1911.
The state of Minnesota appealed
from this order to the supreme court
of the United States, and the judg-
ment of that court was that the two
cent rate was fair and should have
been in force since the time the law
was enacted by the state of Minne-
sofa. The reduced rates at this time
is the result OF this decision of the
court.
The one-third reduction of pas
senger fare In Minnesota is of much
interest to residents Of this city, es-
pecially to those who 60 to the lakes
on Sundays and holidays during the
summer season. and have to patron
ize the railroads. The old fare to
Detroit was ;1.4o. while the fare
now in force Is only $1.01.
Fares to other points in Minnesota
from Fargo compare to thia. TO
Minneapolis the old fare was $6.96
and. to st. Paul Sz.25, while the new
are $l.65 and 34.s7. To Duluth the
old, fare was 1926 and the new is
$5.o7. 10 st. Cloud it was $5.01.
and is now s3.s7. ~

The 1913 encampment at Camp

All report a fine encampment.
There we're three big maneuvers, the
entire regiment marching out five or
six miles from Camp Hanna, pitching
their tents, camping out over night,
and returning next day. This was
repeated three times. Several sham
battles we're fought and the enemy
located by signal flags on the hills
miles away. The work included
study of war problems, field service
regulations, entrenchments, camp
sanitation, etc., under fair and rainy
weather conditions.
Gov. Hanna reviewed the troops
Sunday evening, the largest crowd
ever gathered at the 'encampment
witnessing the maneuvers, people
coming prom all parts Of that sec

Lisbon played spirited military mus
ic, adding greatly to the review.

EXTRA SESSION OF
THE N. D. LEGISLATURE? ?
Extraordinary Session May Convene
to Facilitate Election of U. S.
Senator.

II
ed that the opinion of the attorney
general will be required regarding
the calling of an extra session of the
state legislature to facilitate the elec-
tion of the next United States sena-
tor from North Dakota. He was
quoted as follows:
''The new amendment to the fed
eral constitution providing for the di-
rect election of United States sena-
tors, does somewhat complicate mat
ters in North Dakota.
Should things take their own nat
ural course and the legislature not
convene until it's natural time in
convene until its regular time in jan
uary, 1915, that will probably mean
a special election for United States
senator forced upon the people which
will mean an expenditure of at least
$4,000. If this expense can be re-
duced to the minimum by the legis-
lature in extraordinary session for
not more than three or four days at
the outside, I am of the personal
opinion that it will be the best thing.
Zone of the questions 1 intend ask
ing the attorney general is whether
the governor has the power to limit
the legislature to the consideration
nf inst tho ono ouhioot
II do not want to convene the leg
islative assembly and have both
houses sit there for sixty days and
run up an expense of 100000 on the
people. If the assembly may be linn
tied to the consideration of one SUBJ
ject only. that of facilitating the cleo
tion of United States senator, SO that
the next senator may be regularly
elected year from next November
at the same time as the rest of the
ticket, then I shall entertain the idea
favorably.
Il do not know whether such a
power is vested in the governor" he
resumed.
1T will be my purpose to recon-
vene the legislature in extra session,
if the attorney general decides it is
necessary, at such time when it will
suit the convenience of all members
of both houses.
Many Of them are farmers and
cannot leave their fields at this sea-
son of the year nor in the early fall.
Business men feel the same way.
81 shall make it my duty to get in
touch with every member of both
house first to get the personal opin-
ion of everyone regarding the con-
yenient time. I shall call for Mr..
Miller's opinion within few days,
just as soon as return to Bismarck
II rode down on the train with him
from Devils Lake yesterday and his
offhand opinion seemed to be that an
extraordinary session was essential"
