ADLA| STEVENSON
DIES IN CHICAGO
FORMER VICE-PRESlOENT PASS
ED AWAY IN CHICAGO SATuR-
DAY NIGHT.

Chicago, H., June 15.-Adlai Ewing
Stevenson died here Saturday night
He was once vice-president OF the
United States, and had a long and
honorable public career. He was vice
president from 1898 to 1897 under
President Grover Cleveland. In 1900

ocratic party for vice-president and

candidate for president, but was de-
feated. He served as a member of
the 44th and 46th congresses. From
1885 to 1889 he served as first assist
ant postmaster general under Presi
dent Cleveland.

publican.

UNITED STATES
EXPRESS COMPANY
WILL BE SUCCEEDED RY AMERI-
CAN AND WELLS FARGO COM
PANlES.-

o. Hirzel of the American Express
company, spent Sunday night in Ard
more, and left this morning for Wap-
anucka. 1t is stated that the Ameri-
can will succeed the United States
express on the Rock Island and the
Fargo will succeed the United States
press company, which has maintained
an uptown office here for some time,
will go out of business on the first of
July. The Van Denberg building,
which is occupied by the company,
will be used as the offices of the Van
Denberg- -Kembel Lumber company.
Whether the American will establish
an Office here or have their business
done at the Fargo office, has not been
decided. The express companies are
operating on the cheapest plan possi-
BILE. The parcel post has so reduced
their income that in order to declare
their usual big dividends which for
the most part have been declared
on a very small investment, the com
panies rairCe the wages of the help,
overwork them and pay very little
for rents and other service.
If the American can get located
well in a good building and at a very
cheap price it may stay here, and if
not. its business will be conducted
through the Fargo office. From pub
Iished reports on the express bus
mess which have not been disproved,
these companies declare larger divi-
dends than almost any other kind Of
business and the stockholders are
now getting their dividends at the
price of overworked and underpaid
labor.
