November clearing sale to make a
quick clearance. The season, too, has
been backward, therefore the big re-
duction sale will include all depart
ments. This concern has always
waited until later in the season for a
sale Of this kind, and coming as it does
right in the height Of the season, when
the lines are still complete, the shop
pers will undoubtedly be quick to
grasp their opportunity, making this
one of the biggest merchandising
events in Minot's history.

State Institution
Mill Tax Valid

I
Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 2s.-The SUI
preme court today issued a manda-
mus order directing the board Of
equalization to re-convene and levy a
tax of one and one-eighth mills for
the educational institutions of the
state.
Heretofore the board had exceeded
the four-mill limit set by the consti-
tuition, but this year kept within the
limit by reducing all state taxes to
the required amount. This action Of
the board reduced the educational in
stitutions' income about $4,000. The
court gives this money to the institu-
tons and compels the board to levy
the necessary fund.
The board will convene in a few
days. It cannot be learned tonight
what the members of the board
think Of the decision, though it is far
from satisfactory to them.

Eiter, of this city the other day. On
the occasion of their marriage some %
years ago they were presented with,
among other things, a pillow, which
was something of an heirloom, having
been in the family of Mrs. Eiter's
mother for about thirty years prior to
Mrs. Eiter's marriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Eiter had always noticed hard lump
in the pillow, and last Saturday they
decided to open it. Imagine, if you
can, their surprise when, on opening it,
they found very handsome sealskin
cap in good state Of preservation,
and also a pair of lady's gloves Of the
style Of fifty years ago. The cap is a
very valuable one and Mr.. and Mrs.
Eiter are quite proud of their unex-
pected find.-Wilkin County Gazette.

DEATH-No CONFESSION
ossining, N. Y, April 13.-The
four gunner convicted of the murder
of Herman Rosenthal were executed
in Sing Sing prison early today. 1t
required four shocks to kill Lefty
Louie" Two were sufficient for the
others. 1t was just 80 minutes from
the time the first shock was given
"Dago Frank" Cirofici, the first to die,
until Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, the
last of the four, was pronounced
dead.
Whitley Lewis" was the only one
of the gunner to make a statement
in the death house and none made
confession. Whitley Lewis" declared
the witnesses against him had per-
jured themselves and swore he was
not guilty. He went to his death ter
ror-stricken and apparently on the
verge of collapse.
Whitley" Lewis was calm and fully
aware of all that was going on about
him as he stepped through the door
to the death chamber preceded by
Rabbi Goldstein. Before taking his
place IN the chair he said:
Gentlemen, for the sake of justice
l want to say that the witnesses who
swore against me perjured them
selves. swear to God that l did not
shoot Rosenthal"
He died hard, jerking violently in
the chair when the current was sent
through his body.

CLAIM COMPANY'S
SERVICE IS POOR
Commissioner Eastman De
clares He Has Many Kicks
on Street Lighting.

Complaints regarding the service
rendered the city by the Peoples Pow
er company are being received by city
authorities daily. is the statement Civ
en- out today by Commissioner Z. l..
Eastman, who says that within the
past week the complaints have greatly
increased in number. Mr.. Eastman
says the company will be asked to in
vestigate and find out why the street
lights have the habit of going out
when most needed. To date this month
there have been 1900 hours of dark
ness in various parts of the city
when street lights should have been
burning.
These hours. il is claimed, exceed
the entire total of any month hereto
fore and this is only the 18th. The
greatest trouble seems to have been
with the arc lights, though the tung-
stems have also worked poorly.

ADVANCE GUARD
REACHES MOLINE
Police of City Willing to Give
Credence to Associated
Press Dispatch.

For awhile last night Moline police
were inclined to credit the Associated
Press dispatch sent out from Califor-
mia to the effect that General Kelley
and his hobo army of 100000 unem-
ployed would march on the Rock Is
land arsenal. So large a crowd of
"vags" stormed the station for. sleep
ing quarters that they resembled the
advance guard of some army. Early
in the evening the tramps began to
flock to the station seeking warm
sleeping quarters for the night. The
sudden change in weather made condi-
lions outside and in empty box cars
anything but comfortable for the
hobos.
When the count of the entire lot as
sembled in the Jail was taken this
morning it was found that Al hobos
had spent the night in the close quar-
tiers of the city bastile. So great was
the crowd that many were forced to
sleep in the basement and some in the
morgue. Since the new city hall
opened an average number of 20 hobos
have applied for sleeping quarters
there nightly.

BUT few ATTEND
CLUB LUNCHEONS
Moline Commercial Club May
Abandon MONDAY Meetings
Because Lack of Interest.

The Moline Commercial club may
abandon the MONDAY luncheons which
have been in progress on Wednesdays
for some months past, owing to the
fact that interest seems to be tagging.
Only few of the business men respond
and il seems hardly worth the trouble
of the club officials to continue the
luncheons for this reason. The lunch
cons are open to any who desire to at
tend and if they are to be continued
better patronage must be shown. At
first large numbers of business men at
tended the meetings but the interest
is waning.

er this noon at the meeting, discussing
