Crosby, July 28.-Grina Bros. store
at Westby was burglarized, three
mackintoshes, besides other clothing
being taken. The parties arrested in
connection with the theft are F. B.
Cotton and John Hare, two paper men
soliciting for the Northwest Farmer
and the North Dakota Farmer, and one
Edwards, soliciting for some maya
zine, also Thomas Prescott. The two
last named were caught on the rail-
road track and were found to have in
their possession explosive liquids, dy-
Mantle caps, guns and ammunition.
Edwards was grabbed, hiding in an
ice box.
" Much of the stolen stuff was found
in possession of the burglars. Besides
other damaging evidence the, sheriff
found two pass keys that would open
almost any business place in town.
1t is believed that these same par
ties were implicated in the burglary
of the hardware store of Tannas &
Cahill in this city a couple of weeks
ago.

hour before, Father James Curry, of
New York, was to hear Becker's spir-

Mrs. Becker arrived at Sing Sing by
auto from Poughkeepsie at 1890
o'clock. She went at once to her hus-
bands cell to tell him of her unsuc-
cessful conference with the governor.
Becker, it was said, had not ex-
pected clemency. Almost at the mo-

ernor Whitman in which he attacks
the executive for having, as he indi-
Gated, given to the newspapers state

offer a contrast to the time and com

development of your state with the
wild prairie which was then supposed
to mark the limit of successful settle

IS CAPITAL
A FIXTURE?

While New Rockford is actively en-
gagged in capital removal campaign
Bismarck citizens calmly announce
that the seat of government for this
state is permanently and forever nail
ed down at Bismarck and that no &C.
ton by New Rockford or other towns
OF the state, nor any expression by the
will Of the people at the polls will have
authority to change it.
They contend the capital is located
at Bismarck through the enabling act.
They also assert that this was done
through the cleverness of Alex Nc
Kenzie, who made a special trip to
Washington and through friends in
congress got a phrase IN section of
the enabling act for this purpose. Nc
Kenzie had led the fight which result
ed in the change of the capital of the
old territory from Yankton to Bis
marck.
Section of the enabling act has
reference to Bismarck, the capital of
North Dakota"
The New Rockford residents, how
ever, are unwilling to concede the
claims of Bismarck. They admit the
designation in the enabling act, but in
sist that is not authoritative. They
assert congress could do nothing in an
enabling act that was not authorized
under the federal constitution, that
section 3 Of article Of the United
States constitution designated what
authority congress has in this matter
and there was nothing in it to give
congress power to designate the CAPT.
tai of an unborn state.
There is likely to be spirited dis
cussion over the different claims ad-
vanced by the residents of the pres
ent capital and the advocates of New
Rockford. In the meantime the peo-
pie of the latter town are doing some
lively hustling and are endeavoring to
work up public sentiment in favor OF
a change of the location of the seat
of the state government They claim
that the residents of that section OF
the state are practically unanimous in
favor Of the change and that many
other towns will back up the plan be-
cause of the more accessibility of New
Rockford and the fact that it is nearer
both the geographical and the popu-
lation center of North Dakota.
! While the original movement of
New Rockford in the legislature last
winter to secure the capital was re-
garded as somewhat Of joke, the
earnestness with which New Rockford
has continued the fight has had the
effect of causing the public to give
the affair more serious consideration.
The initiative and referendum, which
applies to both the constitution and
to legislation, gives the advocates of
a change ample opportunity to get
the matter before the people.

legislative Notes.

The bill to refer the question of
prohibition to the people of the
whole State next September passed
the State Senate, after various
amendments were overwhelmingly
defeated, without opposition.
Though the concurrent resolution
setting February Is as the date for
final adjournment of this session of
the Legislature failed to obtain
adoption in the Senate, there is a
pronounced sentiment undercurrent
in the legislative halls for adjourn
ment within three weeks, which
would make the session of 1915 of
six weeks duration.
The State Senate Friday night,
by vote of II to 9, voted for the
State to pay the travelling expenses
of circuit Judges. The vote for and
against stood as follows: The fol-
lowing voted to strike out the en-
acting words: Beamguard, Harvey,
Johnson, ,Johnstone, Laney, McCown,
O'Dell, Stacy and Stuckey. Those in
favor of the bill were: Applet, Banks,

SIX CENTS FOR LOAF BREAD

bread is now selling for six cents in
Wilmington, Greensboro, Greenville
and Asheville, and that price will
become effective in all small towns
throughout the section tomorrow
The advance in the price of -four is
responsible for the increase in the
price of bread. From the local

this output costs S62.50 more:per

Peace to his ashes. -

Almost everyone has some plan
or suggestion or advice to offer the
farmer as to what to do or what not
to do. We wish most sincerely
that we had something in the way
of practical advice to offer our farm
er friends, but what we could offer at
best we would feel it presumptuous
to expect them to consider. As we
: see it, very few farmers, or men in
any EEe of work, for that matter,
have the same problem to work out,
or conditions to face, and a course of
action that would perhaps prove
beneficial to one class or communi-
ty might prove disastrous to anoth-
er. So, it seems that every indivld-
ual, with the few placed in his en-
vironment, has to work out his own
salvation, if he is to be saved.

Death of Editor Beatty.

Mr. Louis A Beatty, until recently
editor of The Georgetown Times
and, by the way, who made OF it
one of the best edited county news
papers in the State--passed into the
Great Unknown Thursday, January
21.
Mr. Beatty, by reason Of failing
health, had to sever his connection
with The Times several months ago.
He was fifty-two years old and was
born at Conway in Horny county.
His innate literary ability added
to his captivating style OF express
ion, attracted wide attention, both
in this State and in Georgia, in
which State he was for more than
twenty years in various capicities
connected with the Savannah Morn
ing News.
The occasion Of Mr. Beatty's death
is sad to have been pneumonia, but
the cause seems to have been an at
tack of appendicitis which he sus-
tanned about year ago. The real,
underlying cause, no doubt, was the
strenuous life of newspaper man
which he withstOod for so many
years. Statisticians figure that the
average working-life of a newspaper
man or schOol-teacher is 20 years.
Of course, there are those whose
longevity exceeds this by many
years, but they are by long odds
the exception.
Mr. Beatty married a Miss Stew
art, of Williamsburg county, who
with one child, Mrs S c Gardner,
survives him.

high. The State Capitol is large
and beautiful structure.
Near the city is the largest rub
