PIum|ey Talks On
Post Office Mess
FARGO POSTMASTER GIVES IN.
TERvlEW IN THE FORUM ON
THE SITUATION.

The following statement relative to
the postoftlce fight claimed to have
been inaugurated against H. c. Plum
ley Of Fargo, appears In the Forum az
coming from him and will be of inter.
est to those who are watching the
tremblings Of the political plum tree
in different parts Of the state:
POSTMASTER Plumley said that he
was sorry that the matter had leaked
out. He felt that it reflected upon
the claim Of the administration that
appointees would be allowed to serve
out their terms If they were efficient.
He also stated that he could not be-
lieve that Hon. John Burke was re-
sponsible for the charges as to his
conduct of the Forum three years
ago, as that incident had been AMIGA
bly, settled at conference between
Senator Thompson, Governor Burke
and himself held at the Metropole no.
tel in this city in September, 1910;
besides, even if this was the case, 1t
should hardly interfere as long az
there were no charges against the
Fargo office as to its management.
THE two democratic postmasters or
Fargo, Messrs. w. G. Judd and J. J.
Hughes, had been allowed to serve
out their full terms by the republicans
and the former had served several
months over the period called for by
his commission; under these circum-
stances it would seem as If the demo.
Gratis should be equally courteous, and
Mr.. Plumley said that he was OF the
opinion that the request for a resig-
nation should be withdrawn"

MARRIED MEN AND CRIME.

New York American: It does not
require the figures Of experts, interest
ing as they are, to convince the world
that married men are not as criminal
as men unmarried. Men usually 60 to
jail only when there is no other place
to go. And. the married man can al.
ways go home.
Furthermore, the thought Of wife
and children is strong incentive to a
life safely within the law. We have
read of the burglar who worked very
hard at his business so that his little
children might have a merry Christ
mas, but the story is not convincing.
AS rule, the burglar is a bachelor.
When he does reform and settles
down, accommodating a wife and chill
dren, he buys a little white house by
the side of the road and earns an hon
est living mending broken-down motor
cars. With matrimony comes less
nerve, possibly, but far more wisdom.
Read attentively the tragic stories
of men gone wrong and you will find
that their first thought is for their
wives and children, If they are mar
RED And in most cases when palpably
guilty men are acquitted it is the wife
and children plea that saves them.
Even to the juryman the idea that a
married man would be a criminal Is
repugnant.
Crime is adventure gone wrong. And
always the adventurer travels the
fastest who travels alone. Give man
weak conscience and covetous
spirit and put aim in The world un.
friended and alone and nine times out
of ten he will turn out a criminal. Add
a wife and a number Of children. and
his natural desire ~ show what be can
do as the head Of the family will keep
him straight. Eveu !. there are no
children, the knowledge that someone
is dependent on him is likely to nip in
the bud that impulse to borrow a
couple of hundred out OF the till this
week or to redress some grievance

An occasional Catholic paper is as
foolish as is the Menace. One recent
ly issued an "edict" that the good old
patriotic song of America" should not
be sung in any Catholic school, and
should be denounced by the Catholic
church of the United States. In no
country in the world is the Catholic
church more prosperous than in this

religious crime to sing "of thee I

New York Murder
Tragedy Recalled

New York, Aug. 18.--The theatrical
escape of Harry X. Thaw from the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan recalls the sensational
tragedy that had it's beginning in New
York city on the night of June rs,
1906. H..
On that occasion, in company with
his young wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
and two friends Thaw went to the
Madison Square roof garden to wit
ness the opening performance of a
musical comedy.
Near the close of the performance
Thaw left his seat and began to pace
back and forth in the aisle behind the
seats occupied by Stanford White an
architect of international fame, and
his son.
The elder White was SO years old
and in his distinguished career had
stamped on many Of New York city's
prominent buildings the mark of his
artistic genius.
In this setting Thaw drew a revol-
yer and fired three bullets into STAN
ford Whites body. The architect
died almost instantly. 1t is believed
he did not see his slayer.
In the ensuing confusion no one
made an effort to intercept Thaw, who
for a moment stood over his victims
body. Then he walked to the elevator
of the roof garden, where he met a
house detective, and handed over the
revolver without resistance.
At the time of the tragedy he was
q years old and was known as the
young spendthrift millionaire from
Pittsburgh"
William Thaw, the father, was a
poor mechanic in Pittsburgh and then
made small ventures in coal lands
with increasing good fortune. He
was said at one time to be the heavi-
est individual owner of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. When he died his es-
tate was said to be worth $4,000, 900.
BY the will Harry Kendall Thaw
was allowed $4,000 a year, but his
mother increased this to $4,000 an
nually. .. -.".....
Evelyn Nesbit married Thaw in
Pittsburgh on April 4, 1905. She was
noted among artists for her beauty,
and had been in turn model and &C.
tress. ....
With Thaw in the Tombs, a legal
flight to free him began, with the
weight of his family's millions behind
formidable array Of counsel. His
first trial resulted inra disagreement.
At the second trial the jury acquitted
him on the charge of murder on the
ground that he was insane when he
shot White and Justice Bowling COM
mitted Thaw to Matteawan as an in
sane criminal.
Thaw entered the asylum Feb. 8.
1908. Since then the Thaw family has
spent a sum estimated at 100000 in
efforts to have Thaw declared sane
and set at liberty.

Lice on Live Stock.

AS spring approaches, it will
pay owners of live stock to give
his animals a thorough examina-
tion to learn whether they are
infested with lice. Lice make a
serious drain on the vitality of
all animals they infest, and fire.
quently are more of a cause of
an unthrifty condition than the
lack Of proper food.
Young animals. especially, are
liable to lice infestation. If lice
are found, every thrifty owner
will take immediate measures to
get rid of them. Most expert
ment stations recommend ker-
osene oil emulsion for this pur-
pose. The most effective treat
ment known for lice is to satur-
ate the hair thoroughly with a
solution of blackleaf cattle dip;
it is easily and quickly prepared
and works no injury to the ami
NAL. Any druggist can procure
it. A second application should
be made a week or ten days after
the first application in order to
destroy the young lice that hatch
oul after the first application.

will start running right away.
Stock cattle and feeders are
stronger today, after two slumpy
weeks. Logically stock cattle
should be at their strongest now,
with grass almost here. Texas
sales of stock cattle, for north
ern pastures, are being made at
record figures, and conservative
cattlemen say that cattle bought
by the head there are costing
more per pound than are cattle
bought on the markets. Beef
shortage is an actual fact, how
ever, and stock cattle prices are
Legitimate at almost any figure.
Quarantine receipts are light to-
day, also supply from Western
sugar mills. The Johnson quar-
antines brought $8.65 today, heif-
ers at $500, sugar mill steers
So. 40, bulls $500. Hog receipts
today 1900 head, fairly good
when compared with recent
Mondays. Market stronger on
light weights, which sold at 1896
to $9.05, stead to weak on others,
bulk on others $8.85 to $500.
Pork consumption is at a high
figure, as is always the case when
consumers have to choose be-
tween high costing beef, pork
and mutton, pork always winning
out in each contest. 1t seems
unlikely that receipts will show
much expansion anywhere be-
bore June, and prophets are ex-
pecting the market to work high
er in April. Sheep and lambs
are hanging in the balance, with
all signs favoring drop in pri-
ces, yet they manage to hold al
most, their own. Sales were
10 higher today, lambs largely
at So. 35 to $500, ewes up to Sc. rs
whethers worth up to 800,
light yearlings up to $7.f5. Re-
ceipts are 5000 here today, and
moderate receipts Ore expected
here till Texas starts running
sheep freely, about month
hence.

Storm Losses on
Northwest Ranges

The very serious and unex-
pected loss of cattle and sheep
over a very large district of the
northwest range and grazing
territory, due to the blizzard and
snowstorm that prevailed during
March IA and Is, must be re-
garded as doubly disastrous at
this time, a public calamity, in
dependent of the personal hard
ships that have befallen the own
ers of these animals. At nc
time in the history of live stock
production has the life and pros
perity OF the meat-producing an
imal been so highly priced by
every factor entering into the
production and consumption of
meat.
The COW beast, from calf to
the matured animal, and on up
to the old mother COW, once re-
cognized as the despised Gamer,
are all given a respected and
honored consideration, now, on
the farm and ranch.
The storm loss of live stock
over Nebraska, South Dakota,
Montana Wyoming, Colorado and
the northwest generally, over
which this destructive, drifting,
binding snow-storm prevailed,
is deeply deplored by every SEN
sensitive business interest in the
country. Century Farmer.

Stock Market
Kansas City Stock Yards,

March 81, 1913.
Although receipts of cattle
were light last week prices eased
off 10 to Is cents on all kinds.
Buyers have no stocks of any
meat on hand to speak of, but
they figure that good many
cattle are about ready for market
and are playing a waiting game.
Expectations for today were not
realized, as receipts amounted
to but about 5000 head, the
lightest Monday for some months.
Prices are steady to 10 lower to-
day, most of the loss on beef
steers, and there seems to be a
weak and uncertain feeling in
the air, pointing to further mod
est declines if receipts continue
up to normal or better. Cows
and heifers are steady today,
cows largely at $5.75 to $7.25,
heifers $3.50 to $500, some sales
higher in each class, .bulls $500
to $7.23, calves $500 to 1915.
dealers say these butcher classes
are about to receive a big slash
in price, to put them in line with
steers, which have lost more pro-
portionately lately, and because
of the impending competition
from Texas grass steers. which

porous, said w. b. Barnes, trav-
cling freight and passenger
agent Of the Southern Pacific
railroad, with headqua!;ters at
Tucson, in an interview at El
Paso several days ago. Discuss
ing the cattle industry in this
state, he said:
Ranges in Arizona are in fine
condition and carrying .fatter
cattle than ever before in the
history of the cattle business in
the southwest. With the ex-
ception of a few days at inter
walls of snow and cold, the win
ter has been mild and ideal.
Rains have fallen at the right
time, until the mountain ranges
of Arizona are luxuriant in fl
aree, weeds and grass, more
abundant than for a number Of
years.
s'The result of these good
range conditions is that cattle
are in prime shape and prices
higher than any old time Arizo-.
ma cowmen ever dreamed would
be the case. Contracts for Ari-.
zona cattle were made and still
are continuing at prices that will
put some millions of dollars into
the new state.
"Rangemen have been reluc-
tant to sell the stuff, as they want
to increase their holdings. The
calf crop this year will be large; \
that is the percentage will be
greater than any since cows be-.
gan to roam the hills of Arizona.
The mother cows have come
through the winter in such good
shape that the young bawlers
will be strong and lusty, and as.
a result there will be many fine.
coming yearlings in Arizona this
fall.
mo state in the west or south
west can show a finer grade of
cattle than Arizona, and the Ari-
zona native stuff is in strong de-
mand in the corn states. and
many buyers from the big river
country have made Arizona a
camping ground since last fall
seeking to get trainloads4 out to
the east.
THE spring movement of cat
tie to the river markets. and the
north and northwest ranges will
begin in April, and when it gets
under way the Southern Pacific
will be sending many trains out
from Arizona. Thousands of
carloads of Arizona cattle have
been contracted for during the
winter and spring and I'VE will
need many cars to handle the
big drive.
"And many of the grassers
will be fat enough for beef, and
hundreds of head will be cut
from the north and northwest
shipments and sent direct. to-
