Ralph Raymond Decker of Kansas
discussed the Universal Peace Move

human family. it should be the ideal,
he said. of the nations, which after all
are but one family. Armies and ma

bonds which would main

done good to mankind. Or so it
seems at the first blush," he said. Mr.
Decker added that as matter of fact
advances in literature and in the civ

COMPANY BUYING
RIGHT Of WAY

Fargo, Aug. 2.-Word comes to the
city that representatives of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee L. St. Paul railroad
are purchasing land for a right OF
way in the vicinity Of Harwood with
the intention of extending their line
north out of this city and running to
Grand Forks and probably Winnipeg.
That land for a right of way is act
ually being contracted for Is a GER
tainty as several pieces have already
been bought. Ed. Envig, butcher of
Harwood, reported that agents have
been securing land in that vicinity
and it is reported that G. B. May, who
lives south of Harwood, has closed a
deal for portion of his farm, through
which the right Of way will be run.
1t is probablye that right Of way
will be purchased by the Milwaukee
to Harwood, where the right of way
that some years ago was purchased
by promoters for the construction of
a railroad, will be taken over. The
right of way purchased few years
ago ran from Grand Forks to 'Har-
wood and it was then believed to be
the intention to run road from Win
nipeg to Fargo tapping territory be-
tween the. line Of the Great Northern
and the Red river.

ing, which had gone dry. Anderson
went down once, but thought he de-
tected gas and came up to make a
test for it. He lowered torch, which
went out. He declared this to be a
sign that no gas was there, and went
down. He hardly reached the bottom
when he was overcome by gas and
collapsed. Parties above noticed this
and had to get him out quick. In
collapsing he had doubled up and
stuck in the narrow curbing. He had
to be hauled up by main force, and
suffered severely coming up. One
leg was broken, his back and scalp
were torn and cut numerically and
the whole body bruised. A hurry
call was sent to a local doctor, who
revived him. set his broken limb, and
put few dozen stitches where they
were most needed.
At present he is getting along nice
ly. He was fortunate enough to car
ry accident insurance in Minneapo-
lis company.

THIRTY MILLION
BRIDAL PAIR
OFF ON TRIP
Mystery as to Why One of the
Bridesmaids Did Not
Act.
SAID SHE "SASSED'
GROOM TO HIS FACE

Chicago, Aug. 2.--Howarl Spau.d-
ing, .Ir, and his $50. O00 coo bride are
on the first stage of the'' round
the world honeymoon
They were passengers on the Over.
land Limited when the llicr pulled
out last night and half baggage car
was filled with their trunks.
The first pr"tracted stop of tle
journey will be at Honolulu, when the
honeymoOners will proceed to Japan.
And they've left behind sizzling
mystery, which will keep folk in the
"RluebOok," and good many out
side, wondering for the next couple
of weeks.
The mystery concerns the sudden
eleventh elimination of Elizabeth
Goodrich, maid of honor, from the
wedding.
Stories that arc in circulation were
agreed that Miss Goodrich, who is
only II and who has a habit Of frank
speaking, which is sometimes terribly
embarrassing, said something to
which the bridegroom took exception.
The guesses as to what she said
vary in form, but are in substance
the same. The untactful remark, in
short, is said to have been one cal.
culated to throw doubt on Mr.. Spauld-
ing's motive for taking Miss Barker
to wife. Rumor has it that Miss
Goodrich tartly asserted aer belief
or passed on the tart implications OF
others-that the stake for which
young Mr.. Spaulding played was Miss
Earker's immense fortune rather than
her heart.
Still another explanation went for
ward that Miss Goodrich repeated
what she had heard on the links
when group of masculine gossipers
were tcrming Spaulding the S3o,oOo,'
900 nobody home
The gossip which credited to Miss
Goodrich the statement that Mr.
Spaulding was marrying Miss Cath
crime Earker for her mony altered the
plan of the bride and bridegroom to
stay in Chicago long enough to per-
nit Mrs. Spaulding to make viii.
Because Of the provisions OF the In
diana law, undc: which most of Mrs
SpauldinE's wealth is held, the hus-
band of the wealthest girl in Amer.
lea would have but little chance to
come into the vast Barker money in
tle event of his w;fe's death without
a will.
James B. Forgan, the young wom-
ans guardian, is understood to have
advised the making Of will because
of the long journey which the two
have undertaken.
The trouble which came out Of the
"slight misunderstanding between
Miss Goodrich and Mr.. Spaulding
grew to sucl proportions, however,
that the remarks credited by the
Harbor Point rocking chair brigade
to Miss Goodrich, but denied by her
family, have had their effect Upon
the Spaulding plans, and they have
set out on their honeymoon without
the insurance to Mr.. Spaulding Of any
more money than the law allows him
in case his wife should die before
making a will.
