10000 RUSSIAN
TROOPS AT OSTEND
BRITISH HAVE TRANSPORTED
THEM INTO BELGIUM, IN
CREASING GERMAN MENACE

New York, Sept. "A Russian
army of $4,000 men, transported from
Archangel, Russia, was landed at
Aberdeen, on the east coast Of Scot
land, on August e., and were con-
veyed on special trains to Harwich,
Grimsby and Dover, where transports
were waiting to take them to Ostend,
in Belgium, according to officers and
passengers Of the Cunard line Maure-
tania, which reached here last night
from Liverpool.
Every precaution was taken by the
English and Russian military authori-
ties, persons on the Mauretania said,
to keep the fact that foreign soldiers
were being transported to England
from becoming known, and the serv-
ice on the east coast railway lines was
suspended during the seventeen hours
the troops trains were on their jour-
ney.
The passengers said that the trip of
the Russian troops from Archangel to
Aberdeen occupied three days. 1t
was generally believed by those on the
Mauretania who made those state
ments that the Russians would be
Joined at Ostend by British marines
waiting to receive them, and that the
combined forces would cooperate
with the Belgian army at Antwerp.

FADDEN EXHIBIT
NOW ATLIBRARY
Nick ENZIE FLOWER GRASS AND
WEED EXHIBIT SHOWN AT
FAIR IS AT LIBRARY

The interesting collection Of flow-
ers, grasses and weeds, all carefully
mounted and clearly labelled, which
Mr.. s. G. Fadden of Mckenzie county
exhibited at the Williams County
Fair, is now on exhibit at the library.
Mr.. Fadden has gathered and identi-
fled some one hundred and fifty spec!.
mems of the plant life right around
his own neighborhood, and has put
them in such shape that others can
enjoy them, too. This has been as it
were, a side issue, for Mr.. Fadden
does not claim to be in any sense
scientist. It goes to show how much
one can get out of useful hobby
both in recreation, in expansion Of
knowledge, and in having something
to share with others. The collection
will be on exhibit until the last week
in September.

MAN COMMITTED
SUICIDE ATMINOT
BODY FOUND IN JUNGLES-
DRANK CONSIDERABLE CAR.
BOLIC ACID

Minot, N. D., Sept. 4.-The dead
body Of George Obermeyer, aged Is,
who has been employed as a sheet
metal worker at the local roofing and
cornice shops during the past two
years, was found in the 500 "jungles"
across the bridge by Fred Madison, a
transient negro.
Obermeyer had killed himself by
drinking carbolic acid, an empty four
ounce bottle that had contained the
poison being found beside the body,
which was lying in the brush along
side of foot path.
No Good Reason
No good reason could be unearthed
for Obermeyer's act. He was laid
off at the Carlson shop for a couple
of days and his employers told him
to come back after that period when
business was expected to be- better.
He was last seen at the Carlson
shop and it is believed that he went
to the jungles to end his life after be-
ing laid off. Coroner Orson Doe was
summoned to the scene of the tragedy
after the gruesome discovery was
made by the negro.
The dead man was dressed in good
clothes, carried valuable gold watch
and had $10.35 in his pockets. 1t is
believed that he has relatives in Du-
luth and Milwaukee. Coroner Doe is
trying to get in touch with the rela-
tives.
No inquest will be held. Coroner
Doe deeming it unnecessary. All in
dications, including the badly acid
burned lips Of the dead man, pointing
to suicide.

MARTIAL LAW
AT BUTTE NOW
THREE IMPORTANT ARRESTS
WERE MADE BY THE MON.
TANA NATIONAL GUARD

Butte, Mont, Sept. 3.-Butte's first
day of martial law was without dis
turbance. The Montana National
Guard occupied the courthouse and
city hall. Headquarters of the state
militia were established in the court
house with Mai. Jesse B. Roote, as.
chief of staff, and Judge Advocate.
At the city hall, Provost Marshal
Frany Conley took charge.
Orders were given soon after the
militia moved into the business dis
trict to arrest leaders of the Butte
Mine Workers union, the organization
formed to oppose the Western
Federation of Miners. Four arrests
were made late in the afternoon, one
of the men being James Chapman,
chairman of the jurisdiction comit-
tee, and who acted as Judge in the
deportation of men who refused to
join the new union. Chapman had
cartridges in his pockets. Three 9TH
ers who were arrested carried re-
volvers.
Provost Marshal Conley searched
the city for "Muckie" McDanold,
president of the union, but he could
not be found. He is wanted on
charges of melting riots. The list of
men who are wanted was said by
Major Roote to be long one. The
police of Butte and the sheriff's forces
of Silver Bow county were ordered
by Mai. Dan J. Donohue, who is in
command here, to co operate with the
militia in making the arrests and
maintaining peace. The city patrol
wagon was used by the militia in
carrying prisoners to the county jail.
They are to be tried by the military
court with Major Roote presiding.
For the first time in three days the
iurisdi rtion committee of the new
union did not appear at the mines to-
enforce it's order that prohibited nom
members from working. For several
blocks around the courthouse the
streets are patrolled by militiamen
who prohibited persons from passing
through the guarded district. On two
sides of the courthouse two gattling
guns were placed in the streets. Two
machine guns were placed on the roof
If the courthouse also state troops
will sleep in the courthouse for the
present.
Order of Major Donohue placing
Butte under martial law prohibits
boys and girls under 18 years from
being on the streets at night. Women,
unaccompanied, are requested not to
appear on the streets. All public
meetings have been prohibited.

DID NOT KNOW
GIRL WAS HERE
FATHER OFT THRESHING WHEN
SHE ARRIVED-HAD NO WORD
OTHER COMING THEN

Peter Kelter, father Of the little
girl mentioned last week as being left
at the depot was in the Office Tuesday
talking over the fact of the girls COM
ing here. Mr.. Kelter said he took
the little girl to his fathers about a
wear ago where she has been ever
since. When there was mention made
of her coming back here Pete said he
wrote his father sending him money
to send her up with. He asked his
father to let him know when she
would arrive here so he could meet
her. He said he got letter from his
father too late for him to come over
as he was out threshing. In this let
ter his father said he was in Mime
apolis and was sending the girl home
and that she would arrive at $3.50.
Pete says he don't think his father
came out with the girl for if he had
he is sure he would have been over to
see them.
Whether the grandfather was right
or wrong in sending the girl or leav-
ing her, alone, either one is not what
we are after here. We understand
people are intimating to Peter keltner
that he was being called down over
the little girl being left here but this
is not 80. We were sure at the time
that he did not know anything about
the girl being here and in fact he did
not know she was here until her
grandmother took her to her home
across the river. Pete was out thresh-
ing and did not get his fathers letter
until after the girl arrived SO no
blame can be placed on Pete at all.

COUNTY FAIR
GREAT SUCCESS
ATTENDANCE AT FAIR VERY
! lGOOD-RACES AND EXHIBITS
WERE EXCELLENT

The Williams County Fair closed
Friday after three days Of the best
fair ever held in the county. The at
. tendance upon the first day was rath-
Her light but large crowds were pres
ent Thursday and Friday bringing the
receipts up to about $4,000 which is
considered good by the management
considering the fact that we did not
have fair last year.
The exhibits in the various lines
were the best ever shown and were
q surprise to many. In the farm pro-
ducts the exhibit of Mr.. Loughland
and Mr.. Mckay of Nesson possibly
attracted the most attention. Their
exhibit included various kinds of fruit
including apples, cherries, plums ETC.,
and people were greatly surprised to
learn that such fine apples were grown
in this county. There were many fine
exhibits of grains and vegetables as
the list of prize winners will show.
From the south side, (McKenzie coun-
tv) Mr.. Rogers had fine exhibit of
alfalfa and blue stem wheat.
A number of very interesting races
were pulled off but the one creating
the most amusement was the Rawson
Derby Friday where John Bruegger,
Nv. c. Rawson, Joe Donahue and Al
Bradley drove four mules in a half
mile race It was some race but OF
course the democratic mule had had
the best training and was in condl-
ton so National Committeeman John
Bruegger got first money and the op-
portunity of being presented with
loving cup. :,
The automobile race between the
iHup, Maxwell and Ford resulted in an
easy victory for the Hup. After few
rounds the Ford had some trouble and
pulled out to one side of the track
and stopped. About the twelfth round
the Maxwell broke connecting roo
and went out of the race entirely: Inc
Ford then got in action again and nm
ished the ten mile run, thus landing
second money. The Maxwell up to the
time of it's accident was making a
GOOD run and was about holding It's
own with the Hup. At the end OF the
ten mile run the Hup, driven by Rob,
ert Bruegger was in fine condition ana
did not appear to be over heated. Mr..
Bruegper made a fine drive and ap-
neared to like the racing game.
The management of the fair is TO ce
congratulated upon the success TINS
wear which is due to a great extent TO
their untiring efforts to have people
interested and boosting all the time.

AUSTRIAN RULER
REPORTED DEAD
CLAIMED AGED RULER DIED
TWELVE DAYS AGO-NEWS
SUPPRESSED

London, Sept. s.-Reports that the
Austrian emperor, Francis Possph,
is dead were published today. The
news was suppressed for tlelve days.
Francis Joseph ascended the throne
at 10 years, of age, upon the abdica-
ton of his uncle, ferdinand l, Decem-
Der 2. 184S, his death ending an active
reign of sixty-six years. 1t is doubt
full if in all history there has been an
active, authenticated reign longer
than that closed by his death.
Francis Joseph's reign was as
eventful as it was long. From his
imperial vantage point he saw the
French monarchy 60 down, the second
empire rise and crumble, the Com
mune flare briefly, and the republic of
today rise on it's ashes; he saw the
black pinions of the Prussian eagle
stamped on the flag Of the new Ger
man empire-later to tower threaten
ingly over Austria itself; he saw the
papacy shorn of it's territorial de-
mesne, while about it a pickering fam
lily of petty principalities was welded
into united Italy; he saw Spain, once
the greatest of coleman powers, lose
the last Of her dependencies in two
oceans; he saw Japan opened to wes~
tern civilization, and later defeat the
sprawling colossus of two continents;
he saw the most absolute despotisms
Russia, Turkey and Persia-con-
cede representation to the people; he
saw at distance the United States
cement it's liberation with the blood
of a great internecine war, and he
saw his own brother prove that mon
archy could not take new root on
American soil.
In his own country he faced inter-
nal dissensions and external aggres-
sions from the moment he came to the
throne. By the war of 1859 with
France and Sardinia he was forced to
cede Lombardy ii Italy; by force of
arms and treaty he lost the Duchy of
Holstein to Prussia and Venice to
Italy; and by the revolt of Kossuth,
the Hungarian patriot, he barely es-
capped having his dual empire cut in
two.

GERMANY ISLAND !:
OF MOURNING
CASUALTIES ESTIMATED AT lOO,.
900, CHIEFLY AMONG
MONS LINES

New York, Sept. 5.-The Tribune's
Copenhagen correspondent, Count
Rudolph Ehrenberg, cables as fol-
lows:
~ have just returned from a trip
through Berlin, Leipsic, Dresden,
Hanover, Hamburg and other large
German cities. In spite of the diff
culties of transportation and the sus-
picious reception of foreigners, was
able closely to observe the condition
of the country and the state of the
people.
"At the outset, during the period Of
general mobilization, the whole coun-
try resembled an armed camp. Sol
diers were everywhere, and ordinary
railway traffic was suspended to allow
their trains to pass. There was much
hustle and activity and unbounded
optimism prevailed. The troops went
singing to the front. No thought but
of speedy victory entered the minds
Of the great mass Of the German
middle classes.
Black Predominant Color
"Now Germany is a land Of univer-
sal mourning. Black is the predomin-
ant color. The train which conveyed
me from the capital to Hamburg was
full Of weeping women in black.
Women in Germany are either desc
late or racked by the torture Of sus-
pense. Each knock at the front door
causes a panic in every household, as
it may be the dreadful official message
announcing the death or mutilation Of
husband or son, or brother.
"Germany has called in her last line
of reserves and every household al
most is directly concerned in the war.
In some families all the male men,
bers are at the front. The losses have
been colossal, and the suppression Of
public lists by the authorities has not
concealed the extent Of roll in human
lives, which Germany is forced to pay
for the kaiser's policy. For local lists
are still published and bad news
travels fast, so that fairly accurate,
though probably still incomplete idea
of the number Of casualties exists.
II believe I will be within the mark
in stating that more than 100000
German soldiers already have been
killed in various battles on the eastern
frontier, the western frontier and in
Belgium and in France. Heaviest Of
all have been the casualties in con-
tinuous fighting between the Mons
and Charleroi line and in the present
positions Of the forces moving on
Paris"

Paris, Sept. Airs. Herman h.
Harjes, wife of the Paris banker, who'
with other American women, has been
deeply interested in relief work, Wis
tied the north railroad station and
was shocked by the sights she saw
among the Belgian refugees. "The

post. He was gagged and being tor
tured by bayonets. When tried to
intercede in his behalf I was knocked
senseless with rifle. I never saw
him again.
"The work which the Red Cross is
doing is excellent, but unfortunately
+ has not sufficient members to cope
with the situation. Also its equipment
is poor. I saw babies being bathed in
dishpans in cold water, no hot water
being available. DR.. Andre Collin,
who is in charge of the relief work, Is
almost worshipped by the peopel, ow-
ing to his untiring efforts in their be-
half.
II am told that the French authori-
ties are doing all that is possible to
relieve the misery, but the funds at
their command are insufficient: I,
with the help Of a policeman, took as
much coffee and bread and provisions
as my automobile would hold into the
station. and was greeted as fairy
godmother. I am going as often as
possible with friends, to try to bring
some little relief to those people. Ev-
cry little helps. It seems to be a pro-
per field Of endeavor for aliens here
TO show their appreciation Of the
many benefits they have received from
France"
