FOR PRESERVATION OF BIRDS
Efforts TO Be Made to Prevent the
Heavy Mortality in Utah and
California.

The mortality Of waterfowl near
great Salt lake has attracted wide
spread interest in recent years. and
there have been many specqlations
as TO It's cause. Thousands upon thou
sands OF wild ducks. snipe, sandpipers
and other birds have perished and the
situation is OF more than local impor-
tance. as immense numbers Of birds
stop in this region while migrating,
and many Of them succumb to the
prevailing malady. A similar mortal
fly has been reported at Tulare and
owens lakes in California, and prob
ably occurs at many other points in
the West. This matter has recently
been Investigated by the y. s. biolog-
icai survey. which finds that in all
probability the trouble, is due to an
alkaline poison. The birds probably

Luther's entire reliance upon God.
and his distrust of all human ways
and means. is clearly set forth In the
following passage from letter to the
German elector who befriended him:
mo sword can help in this affair.
God must act alone without mans
care or aid Therefore who believes
most will be of most protection here.
And since suspect your highness is
still weak In faith ! can by no means
regard you as the man who can pro
tect or rescue me. Since your high.
ness desires to know what 10 do in
this affair. and fancies you have done
too little, ! answer respectfully that
you have already done altogether too
much. and should do nothing.
II your highness believed. you would
see the glory Of God; but since you
do not yet believe. you nave as yet
seen nothing. To God be love and
honor forever. Amen - Christian Sci

generally agreed that nerves have

the exercise OF mental and physical

BIGE REED Is
NOT GUILTY
So Says Earl BedeIl the Negro who
Testified He Was at the
Trial In January
CLAIMS REED is NOT GUILTY.
At tho Prison and He Called an
Attorney and Made a Con-
fesston on His Death Bed

Our readers will remember the
attempted holdup in Lidgerwood
on August Goth, 1914 and the ar
rest Of three negroes who were
charged with the crime. They
shot Frank Kulisek at the 500
stockyardA and he died at the
hospital a few days later. They
were tried in January on the
charge of murder in this city and
sentenced to prison, Earl Bedell
pleading guilty and Bige Reed
standing trial.
Earl Bedell died recently at
the prison and just prior to his
death he called an attorney and
made a full confession of the af-
fair and told a much different
story than he did when on the
witness stand in the Bige Reed
trial or to the states attorney
when he made his plea of guilty.
He acknowledged that it was
himself that did THE shooting,
while previously he insisted that
Reed did it. The third negro ar
rested at the time was discharged
there being no evidence against
him.
Since the confession was made
Bige Reed has made an applica-
ton to Judge Allen for a new
trial and that is now before the
Judge for a ruling.
Those who arr familiar with
the case were of the opinion all
the time that Bedell did the shoot
ing and it was generally believed
that he had a bad record, though
nothing of his record was known
here.
Reed had lived IN Minneapolis
for several years and while not
a very industrious man had no
bad record behind him and was
convicted largely upon the testi-
mony of. Bedell, who has since
acknowledged that he did the
shooting.
What action will be taken is
not known as the judge has not
made any ruling i'm the case.

SCIENCE BAND
TO FERGUS FALLS
This Well known Musical oraan.
Ization Will Give A Concert
There
NEXT WEDNESDAY, EVENING
And The Fergus Falls People Will
Certainly Be Given a Rare
Treat in Music

The Science School band will go
to Fergus Falls, Mimi, next We'd
nesday and give a concert at that
place. The band is again under the
tutorship of Conductor Hubert
Warren. Mr.. Warren's ability as
band conductor is we'll known
throughout the northwest and
this year his class in this line is
better than ever. The boys are
taking hold of their work more en-
Enthusiastically than ever and the
grade of music that they are play
ing shows clearly how we'll they
are advanced in this most worthy
art. Mr.. Warren this summer
spent several weeks under one of
the best cornet instructors in the
United States at Chicago and he,
himself, is soloist that ranks
we'll up in front with the best Of
them.
This band has always been a
treat to the people Of the little
twins whenever they gave an open
air concert, and have always been
able to crowd any hall no matter
how large whenever they gave an
inclosed concert. This band is
fastly making its mark with the
olccr organizations in the north
west and it ranks second to none
in this state, as far as we are able
to judge. =

Contingent Of BoWlers Will

Be Slated at the Grand
Bowling Alleys

The local Henry Hudsons of the
Catskills" will journey to Fargo
next Saturday evening and meet
the Grand Club OF that place, at
the Grand Bowling Alleys. We
don't know whether the thunder
will roar and the lightning flash
when the "Catskillers from Wah-
peton get into action or not, but
we presume so. From what we
have seen in action of the local
men the people of these parts
will think that the European war
is over here at home, when the
crashing of ten pins takes place.
Some mighty good scores have
resulted in practice so far and
the boys are i'm very good trim for
such fray. Whether there will
be any Rips" in the old wreck
ing crew, remains to be seen, but
nevertheless they claim they will
still be known when they get home
The names of those that COM
pose this team are Geoge Fisher

Ervin, GILES and Herb Youngquist
There will also be quite a few OF
the followers of the alleys ac-
company them.

known to Wahpeton people anc
that they will make their oppon-
ents hustle to win, is we'll know,
fact.

Us the Following Letter
A COMPLETE STATEMENT
OF the Financial Standing Of The

and statement are as follows:
Wahpeton, N. Dak., Nov. 2, 1915
Dear Editor:
am handing you herewith for
publication, the Secretary's re-
port just completed, showing the
financial condition of the Rich
land County Fair for the year Of
1915.
1t will be Observed when con-
pared with the report of previous
year, that there was decided fail
ing off in gate, grand stand ard
tleecher receipts amounting to
$2,O44.95. On concessions $4,000
on subscriptions over $5OO.0O the
total which, would more than COW
er the shortage which we unavoid-
ably suffered by reason of unfav-
orable weather.
1t had been the desire of the
management to give to the people
of Richland and adjoining coun-
ties the best and cleanest fair ev-
er before attempted, keeping in
mind the limits of our average in
come, under favorable weather
conditions.
The promise of a hounteous
harvest, the careful and far reach
ing effects of judicious and econ
omical advertising which brought
to the office of the Secretary num-
erOus inquiries from remote dis
tances upon different matters of
interest. The preparedness of
those ever loyal, and wide awake
sister town within our own coun-
ty, and the country at large ever
talking fair, gave to the manage
ment and Board of Directors ev-
cry reason to anticipate the most
successful fair, from every view
point, ever pulled off in Richland
County. Further than this We
have nothing more to say. We
have labored hard and faithful,
honestly doing our part to make
our fair a success.
Those who visited the 1915 fair
are the sole judges as to it's wor-
thiness i'm all particulars.
In closing we have this to say:
When all the unfavorable condi-
tions that confronted our best en-
deavors are taken into considera-
