GREAT AVIATOR
KILLED IN DROP
MACHINE PLUNGES INTO BAY
AND THE AVIATOR IS
DROWNED

San Francisco, March 15.-Lincoln
Beachey, the aviator, was killed while
making an exhibition flight at the
Panama Pacific exposition Sunday. At
an altitude of about 1000 feet Beach
ey began a sharp descent. The wings
of his aeroplane collapsed and the
machine plunged into San Francisco
bay.
I Beachey's spectacular career came
to it's end in the presence of thousands
of horror stricken spectators, visitors
at the Panama Pacific exposition.
Beachey was completing his second
flight of the day when the accident oc-
Cured. Having previously electrified
the crowd with a series of aerial SOM
ersaults, the air man sought to add an
additional thrill by making one of the
most sensational perpendicular drops
which usually featured his fights.
The fatal fal is attributed to the
fact that for the first time, Beachey
attempted his sensational serial &C
complishments in monoplane.
The machine was at an altitude OF
about 1000 feet when Beachey shut
off his power. For several thousand
feet it dropped head on for the earth,
and then the aviator grasped his con-
troll levers to adjust the planes for
the graceful descent which had char
acterized his previous flights.
When the machine checked it's per-
pendicular drop and Strengthened out
in mid air, the strain on the single
tier of supporting planes proved toe
great. They crumpled like collapsed
umbrella, and the wrecked monoplanee
whirrling over and over lige wound
ed bird plunged downward into San
Francisco bay narrowly missing a YES
sci docked at the government pier,
A few splintered fragments OF the
plane showed the thousands who rush
ed to the water front where the un,
fortunate aviator's body lay, strapped
in it sseat, forty feet beneath the sur
face of the bay, which was brought te
| the surface shortly after 5 o'clock.

81 TOWNS ARE
GAINED BY DRYS
HARDEST BLOW IN OPTION ELEC-
TION EVER DEALT SALOON
INTERESTS

Minneapolis, March 1.-THE hard
est blow ever dealt to saloons in Min
nesota village elections was struck
when 80 municipalities banished the
liquor traffic by vote of the people,
Only two places went back to the 81
looms, leaving a net gain of 81 VIII
lagos for the anti-saloon cause. Such
a result was generally expected as .
sequel to the passage of the county
option law, but officers of the Mime
sofa Antisaloon league hailed it - .
good augury for the approaching
county option elections.
Local saloon interests put up hard
fight everywhere, but the twin city
brewers contended that they paid
very little attention to the local cleo
tions. "It. makes little difference TO-
us now," said an official Of one of the
companies. "The county option eIec-
tions are the ones that really will
count
"It was another great day for The
temperance cause" said Superintend-
ent George B. Stafford Of the Anti
saloon league today. "There is no
stopping the sentiment for dry Min
nesota, and the elections yesterday
were only mild forerunner of what
is coming"
l. No less than five municipalities that
have saloons will lose them because OF
tie votes on the license question. Un-
der the state law, license must have .
majority Of all the votes cast in the
village in order to carry. Tie votes,
were cast in Stewartville, Butterfield,.
Revere, Otter Tail and Cleveland viii
lages, all of them "wet" formerly, and.
ali of them lost their saloons. Camp
bell, which was already dry, stays dry
by tie vote. Cleveland is the home
of Speaker H. H. Flowers, and IT,
vote was 81 to 81.
Morton, long saloon town, loses
! it's licensed drinking places in spite Of
vote of "a to SO. There were two
blank ballots in license, which under
the law must be counted as "noes."
Only Adrian, and Evota went back
to saloons. Adrian, a village of ,2O0,
voted license by 20 plurality, and
| Eyota, small place, by Z margin q
3.
There were 72 villages voting yes
terday that remained dry, and 81
which voted and remained in the Ne
column. Several townships voted, aD4
joined the dry column.
The next battle will be April 9
when a number of small cities win
vote on the license question, inchndA1
Faribault, Fairmont, St. James, Pipe
stone and Luverne. The first threo
now have saloons.
Four county seats are among tho
municipalities that swung from the
"wet" to the "dry" column. Three of
them, Wadena, Walker and Park
Rapids, are in northern Minnesota.
The other is Jackson.

GREAT BRITAIN
BLOCKADE ORDER
WILL SEIZE ALL SHIPS SAILING
TO OR FROM GERMAN
PARTS

London, March 15.-The British or
der in council, decreeing retailatory
measures on the part of the govern
ment to meet the declaration Of the
Germans that the waters surrounding
the United Kingdom are in the mill
tary area, was made public today.
1t states that all ships which sailed
for German ports after March l, and
also those which sailed from German
ports after that date, will not be a.
lowed to proceed to their destination.
In the former case, unless ships re-
ceive a pass enabling her to proceed to
some neutral or allied port, the goods
abroad "must be discharged in Brit
ish port and placed in the custody Of
the marshal of the prize court. The
goods so discarged, if not contraband
Of war, shall, if not re9uisitioned for
use by his majesty, will be restored
by order of the court upon terms the
court decides. Ships leaving German
ports will be given the same treat
ment, except that the goods will be
either given the same treatment, ex-
cept that the goods will be either
requisitioned or sold by the British:
If sold, no proceeds from such sale will
be paid out by the court until after
the conclusion of peace. The seizure
order also applies to ships sailing for
any enemy port, or ships having
aboard goods of enemy origin"
These retaliatory measures will be
carried out without risk to neutral
ships, or to neutral or noncombatant
life, in strict observance to the die
tates of humanity
The order concludes as follows:
"Nothing in this order shall prevent
the relaxation of provisions of this
order in respect to merchant vessels
of any country which declares no COM
merce is intended for, or originating
in Germany, or belonging to German
subjects, shall enjoy the protection Of
| it's flag"

FUNDS RECEIVED
FROM THE STATE
NOTICE RECEIVED OF APPOR.
TIONMENT OF STATE MONEY
ONE OF FOUR PAYMENTS

Williams county has received notice
of the February apportionment of the
state money for schools and the coun-
ty and city comes in for a nice sum:
The entire county gets $7832.88 and
of this amount the Williston schools
gets S17O8.74.
AS this is but one Of four appor-
tionments made during the year it can
be seen that this state aid amounts
to considerable. While the amount
varies each time it will be about the
same giving us in the course of the
year from $4,000 to 100000.

EXPECT ITALY TO
ENTER MARCH 21
PRIVATE REPORTS CIRCULATED
IN ENGLAND INDICATE
SUCH STEP

New York, March 16.-Private re-
ports are circulating in England that
Italy will enter the war on March 21
on the side of the allies. This predic-
tion has not been published but is be-
ing quietly passed about. The date Of
course is only an approximate guess.
March 21 is the first day of spring and
the meaning of the prophecy is that
Italy will abandon her neutrality early
in the spring. There is tentative SUBJ
sanitation for England's belief that
Emperor Francis Joseph has declined
to purchase Italy's neutrality by part
ing with Austrian territory. It is i'm
possible, however to place reliance on
these reports for they are intended
primarily for publication in London
and Paris. But the publicity which the
German government has given to the
reports that negotiations are proceed
ing at Rome and that leading Ger
man papers without interference by
the censor have urged Austria to sat-
isfy 1talX's territorial ambition, indi-
Gates that much pressure at Vienna
has been necessary. The German has
never worked in public as it has been
doing over the question of Italy's con-
tinued neutrality, unless urgent rea-
sons demand such a course. The only
possible urgent reason in the present
case is reluctance at Vienna to agree
to Berlin's proposal to restore Italy's
Austrian provinces to the peninsular
monarchy. While therefore it is not
necessary to believe the authorities at
Vienna have finally refused adequate
ly to compensate Italy, decided reluct-
ance undoubtedly exists to Austrian
being made the German pawn. The
most probable Interpretation of the
matter is that crisis has arisen in
the Italian negotiations and Berlin is
exerting all possible influence on vi
emma to meet the Roman demands. In
an affair SO far reaching as the volun-
tary surrender of national territory to
a rival country, there must necessari-
ly be much hesitation on the part of
the nation making the sacrifice. 1t does
not follow, therefore, that because the
Austrian emperor rejects the sugges-
tion Of his Hohenzollern cousin that
Italy is bound to enter the war. The
refusal means no more for the mo-
ment than that still more urgent rea-
sons must be addressed to him. II the
necessity for satisfying Italy is as
desperate - it appears to be consid-
cred in Germany, negotiations pre-
sumably will continue at least until
the kaiser personally has conferred
with Franz Joseph.
AS far as is known the two rulers
have not met since the war began. II
is logical to assume therefore that
there is still hope of peace in Italy.
Unless Italy sends Austria an ulti-
matum with a quick time limit, the
kaiser and Francis Joseph presum-
ably must have an interview before
Austria refuses to do the German bid
ding.

PROF. ONsTAD BACK

WilHston music lovers are very well
pleased indeed to know that Prof. On
stad, who for six or seven years in
structed the Williston Band, is back
on the job again. Music, both band
and choral, has been rather at stand
still for the past year and we are sure
that with Onstad again on the job
everyone will join in with renewed
vigor and interest. The boys may
have listened to False Prophets" FOR
a while but they know the real thing
in the musical line when they see it
and believe we will now "Hold Fast
to That Which is Good"

AN INNOVATION

The Bruegger Mercantile Co. have
arranged for live model show to be
put on here at the Orpheum theatre
in the afternoons of March "a and 25,
commencing at o'clock. Live models
will be used to depict the latest fash
ions in ladies ready-to-wear garments
and dress accessories. Manager
O'dell, who recently spent three weeks
in Chicago and New York, makes the
claim that he secured the very best
there was in dress for women and
purposes to make good that claim by q
living demonstration. This is the first
show of this character ever given in
Williston, or the northwest and will
no doubt meet with enthusiastic re.
sponse. ~
Besides the orchestra there will be
four special musical numbers. Enter
tainment is free.

CHEAP MONEY

Cheap money is the front that
makes the brook of industry flow and
without it the homeless farmer can
hardly hope for home or the manu-
featuring industry expect to prosper.
The farmers fthe United States owe
$4,000, 100000 and cheap money will
mean millions of dollars in saving to
the farmer.

THE WONDERS
OF THE ZONE
SECTION KNOWN
AS THE ZONE HAS MANY
WONDERFUL ATTRACTIONS

Visitors to an exposition as rule
after having viewed the more dignified
displays turn to the amusement sec
ton of any fair. Chicago had its
Midway. St. Louis its Pike and San
Francisco has it's Zone, which repre-
sents an outlay of $4,000, 900 and has
already provided amusement for thou
sands. This aggregation of shows
runs from the dignified and instruc-
tive "Creation" which is really the
first chapter of Genesis reproduced in
manner that shows how the world
was created, to the '49 Camp where
are depicted the scenes of early days
in California. Both of these shows
have been we'll staged.
It would perhaps be better to take
the reader up one side OF the Zone
and down the other, giving briefly a
sketch of the more important shows.
The first attraction is the CarTous-
sci with it's many colored animals on
which young and old ride. Next is
the Crazy House, full Of funny capers
then the Mexican Village, with its gay
colored hangings, its garden and fas-
chatting senoritas; from here we go
to Alligator Joe's Farm where we see
many of the denizens Of the south
land. Next is the Underground China
town which shows with accuracy this
section of San Francisco as it was be-
fore the fire. Here we see the China
man with his fan-tan lay-out, his
Opium pipe and his theatre with its
Wlerd and plaintive music. Next
comes Toyland with it's many shows
young and old. Then there is the
Battle Of Gettysburg and the Evclu-
ton of the Dreadnaught; each OF these
is instructive as we'll as entertaining.
The cost OF these two productions is
over $35O,0QQ,
The Hawaiian Village and the Home
of the Samoan are in line as we come
to the Aeroscope, gigantic steel arm
to the end of which is attached an OBJ
servation car. This revolves and
gradually attains great heighth; Civ
ing magnificent view Of San. Fran
cisco, the Golden Gate and the sur
rounding country. Next is Mysterious;
Asia where the Turkish dancers and
the sword whirlers hold forth. This
brings us to the end of the street and
we cross to the other side. The first
object which attracts the eye is, the
Yellowstone Park concession, where
Old Faithful, the famous geyser, may
be seen at work sending up thousands
of gallons Of water every minute. ;,
There is the Russian Theatre and
then the 1O1 Ranch with it's wild west
show, it's cow girls and dashinng bron-
cho busters; Australia with it's Won
derful whipmen who perform most re-
markable feats with their short stock
and long lash whips. Then comes the
Old Plantation with its old time dar-
kies playing and singing the Plaintiv,e
tunes of the Sunny South. Filmland,
where moving pictures are taken is
next to Japan Beautiful where dainty
geisha girls serve tea while their
sturdy brothers demonstrate the mode
of wrestling employed in the land OF
the cherry blossom. The Baby In
cubators with their tiny mites OF hu-
manity each struggling to grow to
man or woman hood while white garb-
ed nurses watch over them every min
ute Of the day.
