Make Dollars Do Double Duty By Buying Big Moving Sale Nv On AHrs
A SUDDEN DEATH.

What was looked forward to
as a happy visit was suddenly
turned into a time of sorrow at
the home of Mrs. Meek on We'd
day Of this week, when her sis
ter, Miss Laura V. Plowman, of
Nevada, Mo-, passed away after
an illness of only a few hours.
Miss Plowman, who had not seen
Mrs. Meek for twenty-three years,
arrived on Tuesday evening ap-
parently in the best of health. She
enjoyed a good nights rest, but
complained of feeling badly while
eating breakfast. Soon after she
attempted to pass from one room
to another, when she fell in an
unconscious condition, and died
in a few hours. Death was no
doubt due to an attack of apop-
leXy.
Miss PlOwman was fifty-two
years old. She has as relatives
two sisters only, Mrs. Meek, Of
this city, and Mrs. VIM. Henry,
who lives in Pennsylvania. AT
the time of going to press, def
mite arrangements for the funeral
had not been made, awaiting ad-
vices from the sister in the east.
When held, the funeral will be at
the home of Lester Cox.
Ii is indeed one of The tragedies
Of life, when pleasant and hap
py time had been planned by
those who have not been together
for so long a time, to have the
hand of death so suddenly seize
one of the parties interested, and
the sympathy of the many friends
of Mrs. Meek goes out to her and
her family on this occasion.

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE

There are some things that a
person cannot do. For instance,
if petitions are signed and filed
naming candidate for office the
nomination of which is made by
primary election, the candidate
cannot withdraw, as there is no
provision in the law. HIS name
has to go on the ballot and be
voted on. This is the fix that
Burt Brown, of Lawrence. finds
himself in. Now, the facts are
that Brown would like to be Sec
retary of State. and there is no
reason why he should not be. He
was the candidate two years ago,
and made a fine campaign, but
like all the other Democrats on
the state ticket except Governor
and Senator, he did notget enough
votes. Notwithstanding the great
popularity Of his opponent, Chas.
Sessions, he made a fine showing
Browns name appears on the
ballot for the nomination. Real
izing the expense incident to con-
Iucling an aggressive campaign
lOr the nomination, and if sue
cesSful in the primary for the
election, Brown asked to have
his name taken off the ballot, as
he is not financially able to make
The campaign that seems neceS-
sary, but he could not have it so.
Brown should be nominated. He
has been a consistent and work.
ing Democrat for years. He was
unsuccessful in getting recOgni-
ton from either the state or ma
tional administration because
there were not places enough to
so around. He should be nomi-
mated without opposition, but
that is out of The question. His
opponent is J. w. SchliSher, of
Sheridan county. Mr.. Schlicher
has served for four years in the
Legislature, is man Of some
means, and is at present one of
the deputies in The live stock de-
partment. He is a good man, but
we believe he should stand aside
in favor of Brown, whose nomi-
nation we ask our friends to as
SiSt in making.

East Grand Forks
Cannot VOTE ON
CHARTER, NOV. 3
Council Has Not Fixed Date
and They Do Not meet
Before Then.

The proposed home rule charter
will not be voted on at the general
election one week from tomorrow.
The city council has not fixed a date
for voting on the proposition, and. in
asmuch as they are not scheduled to
meet until the evening of election day,
there is no chance Of submitting it to
the people on that day.
The council is to meet in regular
session Tuesday night. Nov. 8. but as
that is election day, they will adjourn
until later.
Whether or not the charter ques-
ton will come up then remains to be
seen.
There is decided opposition to the
charter, and w or three Of the alder
men. 1t is said. refuse to consider it.
Mayor O'Leary called a special
meeting to consider the question of
ter. but only three aldermen showed
up. N. J. Nelson, C. A. Bydal and Pat
Liston were the councilmen who at
tended. Geo. H. Barlow, John Logan
and j. M. Culliton did not attend. AS
there was no quorum, 1t was impossi-
bic to act.
The question is up to the council,
but 8 o far they have taken no action.
It Is likely. however. that something
definite will be determined at the next
meeting.
If the new charter is submitted to
a vote and carried, the council will be
composed Of only five aldermen, in
ter provides for an additional ward,
with an alderman from each ward.
With five aldermen such deadlocks as
now appear will be impossible.

THE THIRD AMERICAN CITY.

Buenos Aires has long had the

finest theater and the best equipped
newspaper plant. We have been rec

In Notwithstanding after New
Yark and Chicago? Forty-five years
ago when the first census was taken,
Buenos Aires had n population Of
$4,000. Today the population num-
bers 10 times that. We suspect it is
the announcement that the Argentina
capital is to have another subway that
will surprise Philadelphians most of
all. Somehow, we North Americans
have never thought of these countries
south of us as requiring subways. 1t
is worth the while of Il newspapers
to print more South American news
at this time, to familiarize their read
ers with South American aims and
achievements. If WI are to make the
most Of our chance in that direction,
we must know more of and more
highly respect the countries we would
serve as bankers and manufacturers.
