Carl Jensen of eight miles west
OF Bowbells, aged about 40, and
who has been a resident Of Burke
county for about eight years, was
arrested on Saturday last on the
charge of assault with the intent
|sto, commit. rape. He was given
hearing in Judge Randaliss court
Saturday afternoon and was bound
over to the district court under
bonds. to the amount OF $4,000.
He did not put up the bail, and
now languishes in the county Jail
at Minot. When the complaint
was read to him he denied the
charge and demanded hearing,
but did not employ counsel. The
interests of, the state were looked
after by States Attorney Hanson.
IS The girl who is alleged to have
been assaulted is eight years old,
and is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nels Nelson, who reside near the
Jensen farm. According to the
story of the girl and other witness
es the crime was committed at
about five o'clock last Friday even
ing. The girl had been sent out
by her mother to drive in some
horses and as she neared the Jen-
sen place Mr.. Jensen came out and
asked her to come into the house.
She refused to go, but after heBhad
given her an orange she consented.
What took place between the time
she entered the house and the time
the girls father came by with his
plow is not fit to print, and @ we
are leaving that out. -, The girl
states that Jensen suddenly drop q
ped her and ran out. of the house,
and when she looked out of the
window she saw her father coming.
When the girl reached home that
evening she told her mother ashe
whole story, and Mr.. Nelson came
to town the same evening and

expected to mark the beginning of

Movement Started in Denver To
Standardize Silver.

Several attempts have been made
in Utah in the past few months to
revive a movement for the stand
a%rdization of silver at some set pari-
ty, with the hope that il may be
adopted by United States at once
and by all the civilized nations of
he world ultimately. The advocates
of the movement argue that teh pari-
ty need not be 16 to /. but 20 to 1,
or even 25 TO l.. any of which they
say would be a vast improvement
over the present 40 to /. They say,
too, that the constantly diminishing
gold supply of the world means the
final reconciliation of the white

Rockefener's Wife is Critically Ill.

In the great castle at Pocantico-
monument as much to her splendid
~womanhood as to her husbands
business genius-Mrs. John ID,
Rockefeller. attended by kindred and
physicians, is undergoing the slow,
though painless decline that attends
malignant aenemia.
Mrs. Rockefeller, one of the most
retiring women in the world. was
seventy-fve years old last September.
She has been in failing health for
several years, the first breakdown
dating from the nationwide attacks
on the Standard Oil company and the
resultant criticism of her husbands
business methods.
No one has ever told how great
was her silent influence and interest
in the financial p%rodigies accomplish
ed by her husband. But it was al
m conincident with the dissolu-
ton of the Standard Oil corporation
that Mrs. Rockefeller showed the first
signs of a decline.
One by one. the innumerable pri-
vate charities which she so modestly
concealed from the world at large
were turned over to the conduct of
Miss Spellman, her sister. Mrs. /
Rockefeller was still interested in
them, but was physically unable to
give them attention.
The fact of the announcement as
well as the known subtlety of the
disease gave emphasis to rumors that
Mrs. Rockefeller is very s~eriously. i'll,
although there is said to be no cause
for immediate alarm. Her great age
is naturally a great impediment TO
successful treatment by her physi-
clans.
But out of the shadow that illness
casts owe the life of the famous
family, comes the Frightening news
that another baby is expected at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John d. Rookie
Teller, Jr. They are already the
parents of three children, the last
having been born in June. 1910.

Larger Army Recommended.

A complete plan for reorganiza

submitted 10 Secretary OF War Gar.
rison and referred by him TO the gen
cal staff. The plan was prepared by
a committee of army officers, OF
which the chairman was Colonel Ed
win f. Glenn, member of the gen
eral staff and now chief Of staff on
Governors Island.
The size of the army recommend
ed is virtually the same as that adj
vocated by General Wotherspoon in

his retirement a few months ago.
General Wotherspoon's plan of re-
organization called for an army of

The census of unemployed, begun
in New York under the direction of
the department of labor. will be ex-
tended to all other cities if arrange
ments car be made. President Will
son Tuesday told callers hal as far
as possible the detail work OF the
census would have to be carried on
by local municipal authorities be-
cause the government has no special
appropriation for the work and he
did not expect to ask congress for
one.
The president believes there is
general betterment in business con-
ditions. He said there was no de-
preston in the west and that the
situation in the south and east was
improving.
The problem of the unemployed
will not end with the mere taking of
a census, but an attempt will be
made to secure positions for these
men. and in keeping with this a for
NAL announcement of the Inaugural
ton of a federal employment bureau
by the department of labor with the
assistance of the postoffiee depart

san Francisco aud New York
Now Connected by Telephone.

Now Connected by Telephone.
San Francisco ehatted with New
York last Monday. More than that.
San Francisco, passed the time of
day with Boston. with Washington
and, most marvellous of all. with a
far island off the Florida coast.
Human voices spoken into a tele-
phone transmitter here in San Fran
cisco and borne along by the most
delicate of electrical contriyances,
travelled 3400 miles TO New York,
while from New York other voices
came back to San Francisco. all in
clear and audible conversation.
San Francisco, New York and
Florida all joined together in a three
cornered conversation; then Boston
came into the circle, and Washington
and all these far distant places chat
ted easily together.
When Alexander Graham Bell, in
ventor of the telephone. and Thomas
A. Watson. maker of the first in
strument. the one in New York, and
the other in San Francisco, greeted
each other over the telephone the
transcontinenal line Joining the At
lantic and Pacific was formally
opened.
1t was a supreme triumph for the
two Veterans, who thirty-nine ears
ago were the first human beings
ever to speak to each other over the
telephone. Yesterday they saw their
toy, in which for years they only had
faith, made the means of communica-
tion between the two oceans.
Perhaps their moment of greatest
triumph came when in the midst of
their oc~ean-to-ocean conversation the
modern instruments they were using
we're cut out and they talked to each
other once more through two exact
copies of the original transmitters
with which they made long ago their
first successful experiment.
And then to make the cup over
flow, President Woodrow Wilson at
the White House and Theodore N.
Vail, president of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, at his
Florida home came into their CONVEX
sation to congratulate them on the
splendid development of their inven-
ton.
While DIR. Bell in New York and
President Vail at Jekyll island lis
Thomas A. Watson in San Francisco.
The route of this ocean-to-ocean
line and the distances between noted
points are as follows:
From San Francisco to Salt Lake
City, 40 miles; to Denver, $50; to
Omaha, 55S; to Chicago, 500; to
P%ittsburg, 545; to New York, $50.
There is a second branch from Chi
cago to New York via Buffalo. 603
miles, thence to New York, $50 miles.
