PEACE CONFERENCE is
POSTPONED BY MEDIATORS

Washington, May 15.-To give the
Huerta delegates time to recuperate
from their long journey, the South
American mediators today postponed
the opening of the Niagara Falls con-
ference until Wednesday. Speculation
was caused by the announcements of
the postpOnement, but II was explained
Ly the Spanish ambassador who is
acting for Huerta, that the delay was
not significant politically.
strong note of protest by tIe
United States government to Huerta
declaring the reported execution of
Private Parks, the orderly, who dis
appeared is a hostile act IN view of
the armistice at Vera Cruz, lent
sinister aspect to today's develop
ments.
The refusal of Huerta to reply to
repeated requests for information re-
garding Parks is resented, but the
course the Americans will take was
not indicated. The Parks incident will
figure largely in mediation conference
General Funston reported that Parks
was in uniform when ne entered the
Mexican lines, and should be held as
prisoner of war ard not executed as
q spy. The reported burning of the
body is held by the United States to be
contrary to the rules of civilized war
fare.
The Lobos island incident was
cleared up it was announced. Huerta
has been informed the MeXicans are
free to return to the light house. Six
South Americans reported arrested as
snipers at Vera Cruz, proved to be
Menicans. They were discharged the
same as other Mexican prisoners. The
president and cabinet took the most
horeful view Of the Mexican situation
today.
There is no prohibition of the Con-
stitutionalists importing arms through

son, for first time. revealed that the
recent embargo on the shipment OF

departmental military order. The
president did not issue a proclamation
restoring the general embargo.

DR.. e. r. Ladd, the North Dakota

which he says is bleached.

THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNORSHLP
QUARTETTE OF NAMES MEN,
TONED FOR THE PLACE WILL
PROBABLY MEAN LIVELY RACE
AT THE PRIMARY FOR THE RE-
PUBLICAN NOMINATION.

With the republican campaign In
this state having resolved itself into
a question Of renominattng Governor
Hanna or selecting Usher L. Burdick
of Williston, the politicians are taking
considerable interest in the lieutenant
governorship.
A. T. Kraabel. who is, the present
holder of that place. is understood to
be- q. candidate for denomination. The
recent meeting Of the progressive re-
publicans took no formal action on the
position but there was a great deal of
talk in hotel corridors and on the
street concerning the place, the con-
census of opinion being that the can
didacy Of Kraabel this year should not
be given the endorsement of the
league prior to the primaries. 1t was
contended that the position Of Kraabel
on the initiative and referendum was
inimical to his chances for success.
Personal friends Of Mr.. Kraabel insist
that he should be given either an IN
qualified endorsement by the league
for his present place or should have
been given the league support for the
governorship instead of picking up
former Lieutenant Governor Burdick.
Some of the closer friends Of Kraabel
appear to feel he was rather unfairly
treated in being overlooked for one or
both these places.
There are three other prominent
men mentioned for the lieutenant gov
ernorship by the progressive republic
cans. Former State Senator Besses-
sen, who quit that place to seek the
congressional nomination, is said to be
the personal choice of Burd1ck as his
running mate. BessesSen resides at
Fessenden, Wells county, n is wide-
.ly known, especially over the central
part Of the state. He is a successful
campaigner and a. Scandinavian.
State Senator Davis OF Sheridan
county is another mar who has been
prominent in progressive republican
circles. His experience in the senate
is thought to have fitted him for the
position of presiding officer. He is one
of the wealthiest men of his county
and a good campaigner. He is report
ed to have strong backing for the
place and to be willing to make the
race.
Colonel Frame of Grafton, speaker
Of the house, is also frequently sug-
gested for the position. Burdick was
promoted from the speakershlp to the
position Of lieutenant governor and
the friends of frame insist the xam-
Iple might be followed in his case to
an advantage. He lis the active head
Of the First regiment, lawyer q good
speaker, and widely popular.
Other names are mentioned TOE the
place but Kraabel, Bessessen, Davis
and Frame are the prominent quar-
tette and the indications are the NOM
inee will be n OF the four.

WORLDS LARGEST.
ELEPHANT
THE GIANT ELEPHANT JUMBO,
SUCCESSFULLY EXHIBITED BY
BARNUM YEARS AGO, HAS New
Err BEEN DUPLICATED BY AN
EXHIBITION.

When the peer of. all showmen, p. T.
Barnum, announced that he had Sc
cured for exhibition purposes the ele-
plant Jumbo, every boy and girl
throughout the land read the news
with tense interest.
Jumbo was he giant among the
giants. The elephant is the most NAM
moth beast which roams forest or
plain. His principal feature of attrac-
tiVeness and interest is his size.
With characteristic shreWdnesS, P.
T.. Barnum realized the vas POSSIBLE
tiles in transporting and exhibiting
about the country this most colossal
representative Of the elephantine
world. According to Barnum. all 9TH
er elephants were pigmies by compari-
son. For several seasons Jumbo was
a source Of delight and admiration to
millions Of people.
The Jumbo 20-act circus, now being
handed out by The Forum and Repub-
lican to the boys and girls of Fargo,
is the giant sensation of toydom. 1t
is the biggest amusement and fun
maker ever devised. 1t was named aft
err the giant elephant Jumbo because
Of it's completeness Inc surprising
greatness.
There are twenty acts, each ten
inches high, mounted on cut-out card
board, beautifully Autographed on both
sides. Its ingenious construction en-
ables the child to place the acts in up
right position on the curved base. A
touch sets it in motion; the result is
a lifelike representation of a real cir
Gus in action.
