u. L. Burdick, states attorney for
Williams county, was in Dickinson for
a day early in the week, going from
here to Beach and Sentinel Butte,
where he gave addresses to large
audiences. Mr.. Burdick, candidate
for governor, is a fine speaker and
from the way he has prosecuted
murder cases at Williston, his home
city, he must be a good lawyer. In
early days Mr. Burdick was following
the roundup in this state and at one
time made headquarters in and about
Wibaux. He has a large stock farm
on the Missouri river and of late
years has been associated. more or
less with Frank Banks in buying and
selling horses. MI. Burdick has
served with credit in both houses of
the legislature and the making of
our Congressional districts with north
and south lines, thus securing the
third district, is due to his efforts
coupled with those Of L. A.. Simpson.

| VINDICATION OF LAW AND
REASON.

ASAA&A0OA"
When the New York Court of APP
peals had reversed the verdict Of
equity" in the case of Becker, the
ex-lieutenant of police, and, in an ex-
ira ordinary opinion, centured the
trial judge for alleged prejudice and
unfairness, and denounced the states
witness, there were many who said
that Becker would never be tried
again. Another conviction seemed
impossible. How could the states at
torney expect to succeed after so
hard a blow? His chief witnesses
been described as confessed perjurers
and murderers and trustworthy cor
roboration was unlikely. .
But Mr.. Whitman had confidence
in his case, in himself, in the jury
system and in the rule of reason.
He disregarded the heavy odds
against him, including the supposed
Indifference of the public, if not it's
active sympathy with Becker. He
treated maudlin sentimentality with
deserved contempt. Becker's tools,
the gunner, had been punished;
should the arch-conspirator, the in
stigator Of the murder, go free?
The second jury's task was harder
than that of the. first, but it per-
formed it's duty manfully and cour-
ageously. Unhesitatingly it found
Becker guilty on the first ballot. The
evidence of guilt was overwhelming;
the defense was pitifu1ly weak; the
failure to put Becker on the stand
was eloquent, in spite of legal fictions
and presumptions. The verdict is
Just and wholesome. 1t is a vindi-
cation of law and a solemn warning
to grafters and crooks.-Chicago Rec

TELEPHONE SYSTEM INSTALLED

TELEPHONE SYSTEM INSTALLED
This week an up-to-date telephone
system has been installed in the st.
Charles hotel, making it n Of the
most up to date hosteleries west of
the Missouri river. w. l.. Parson
arrived from Bismarck the first of
the week and has been busy: since in
stalling the plant. Each of the eighty
rooms of the annex will have a phone.
The same wiring that was used for
the bell system will be used for the
telephone so all will be in readiness
by the end of the week. The tele-
phone board has been placed behind
the counter in the lobby and will be
in charge Of Joe Hledek, day clerk.
Managers Ray and Reichert r al
ways endeavoring to keep their hotel
up to date with the conveniences for
their guests. This last step will be
a marked convenience and will be.
greatly appreciated by the travelling

New England has a justice, John
Van Bergen, who would not bind Jim
Jacobson over to district court after
it had been shown that a party who
had drank stuff purchased at defend
ants place was taken to the lookup
in a drunken condition. After the
dismissal of the case the states at
torney, J.. K. Murray, gave it out
that he would have to bring an action
in a different way and then he
guessed he could hold jacobson.
This frightened Jim, the pool hall
man, and he left the state at once. It
is probable that the better class of
people around New England are glad
that jacobson left.

Richard Bros. are now editors of
the Golden Valley Progress at Beach,
Fred Aultmann, former editor, having
retired. The new managers own a
portion of the Progress stock and are
giving the Beach people a good paper.
They say that they will not under
any circumstance be drawn into the
factorial quarrels that have been
given so much attention in the two
other papers of the city. c. I. Cook,
who recently retired from the edi-
torial management of the Advance,
has taken a position on the Chronicle,
and R. o. Zollinger, formerly city
editor of the Chronicle and later one
of the founders of the Progress, has
recently bought stock in the Advance
and is now editor of that paper,
Changes in newspaper circles seem to
be quite the thing in Beach.

which took up all of the afternoon.
Taylor was the only out of town team
present. Prof. Kilen is justly proud
of the showing made by his athletes.
Taylor is to be congratulated upon
having a man at the head Of her
schools who takes such an interest in
school affairs. The meet as a whole
was grand success and many ofathe
records were very good considering
the fact that it was the first meet and
also the condition of the; ground.
The Misses Reed, Slindee, Reed and
Lyken and Mr.. Carlson deserve the
credit for the success Of the meet, as
they planned and conducted it
throughout with the assistance Of the
high school boys.
The Taylor boys made, an excep-
tionally good. showing, defeating the
Dickinson boys in the events in which
both the Dickinson boys and the Tay-
lor boys took part. It was the good
work Of the Dickinson girls that gave
Dickinson the large number of points.
The final score was 81 points to SO
points in Dickinson's favor.
Maurice Keller was the star of the
meet, winning five frsts and one sec
ond. Ralph Hanson ! was the next
high. He made 18 points, having won
six seconds. Frances Dirkes was the
high point winner for the girls, hav-
ing won two frsts and one third, or
a total Of IL points.
The records especially good were
the girls so yard dash, won by
Frances Dirkes in 6 3-5 seconds, the
12O yard low hurdles in 18 seconds,
won by Lawrence Carroll, the 22G
yard dash won by Maurice Keller in
28 seconds and the pole vault won by
a sixth grade boy at q feet, Jimmy
McAndrews winning. The relay race
was won by Taylor in 30 seconds.

why WEAK LUNGS?

The toll of tuberculosis is claiming
more than $50 victims every day in the
United States, y;et1few realize their grave
condition until the critical period arrives.
Overwork, worry, weakness after sick
ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender threats
all exert the weakening influence that
invites consumption.
TO guard against consumption, thou
sands ofpeop1e take SCOTS Emulsion after
meals because its rich medicinal nourish-
ment strengthens the lungs, puts vigor in

The long drawn out suit Of DR..
Guild, present owner of the Courier
News, against A. Y. More, came to an
end the past week and plaintiff was
given a judgment of a little over
$1,000. Most people believed that
Mr.. Guild was deceived when he put
his good money into the Fargo morn

win the suit. This is not saying that
Mr.. More did not sink a lot of money

in the Courie-News deal, but he is a
very wealthy man, who has lived in
North Dakota for a great many years
and knew the ms and outs as an out

people all over the state have lost a
great deal of money in this Fargo

tributed heavily with the rest.

G. L. Bickford, ex-state treasurer
of North Dakota, must serve a sent
nee of not less than one year nor
more than three years in the peni-
tertiary of North Dakota. This is
the decision of the state supreme
court reaffirming the verdict of Judge
w. C. Crawford. The Ease has been
hanging fire for nearly four years.
Justice Bruce wrote the opinion and
all other justices concurred. Bickford
will be taken to- the ~penitentiary at
once.

the time in the school year when
these meets are held makes it almost
impossible to send a complete team.
The interest taken in track events by
a number of the high schools of the
Slope show that there. should be

Why not have Bismarck, Mandan,
Beach and Dickinson get together and
start something? Invite all high

APPEAL FOR AID
Charity Organization Needs Funds to Garry On
 Its Work

After operation for a period of six months during which time the work has. been financed by a relatively small number of people, the Charity Organization Society of Bridgeport is compelled to appeal for financial sup port to carry on the work.
 N In an appeal being calculated by mail the work of the organiza tion which is distinct from the city chari- ties department and other local or ganizations, is fully set forth and it is shown that the organiza ton has sought to cure the habit of depend ency" rather than provide actual financial assistance without careful. study of conditions They have ham, died about 500 cases. It is saiG that 400 of these have been aided through assistance and advice of investigators in showing the families how to de- velop their latent and unknown earn Ing power. Of the eases investigated about 68 per cent are said to have needed no financial assistance, but re- quired being placed on a self-support- ing basis Instances are given to the press of families where Is year. old boys have been a. drain upon the fam iiy where they could be earning $S or more per week. In other instances they have been employed for s4 where Judlflous selection of work raised their income materially
 Leet B. Myers, secretary. of the so- ciety, in an interview this morning stated that even in the face of inn pending shortage. of work, there were many positions open to those who sAnew how to get them. He cited i'm stances where those thrown out of one class of. employment failed to know where or how to get new work. It is such cases as these if ycured~in a sci entific manner prevents dependency and greatly reduced the actual mon eys disbursed eby charitable societies
