TWO BANDITS
RUN AMUCK
Shoot and Rob Officers and Ter
rorize Several Wiscon-
y sin Towns

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 6.-Two ban
dts, thought by the police to be the
men who held up the Milwaukee and
St. Paul coast train at Glencoe. Mimi,
Monday morning, ran amuck half
across the State of Wisconsin last
night and early today, during which
they fifured in robbery and armed
fighting in at least three places. The
men first held up the caboose of a
Milwaukee freight train at New Lis
bon, sixty miles east Of here. Con-
ductor Michael Kelly, and Brakeman
Joseph J. Murphy and Oscar Sagen
were robbed of their money, watches
and street clothing. The robbers then
leaped upon a passenger train and dis
appeared.
They were stopped in the Rortage
yards, forty miles away, by Chief of
Police Curry of Portage and his assist
ants. The officers we're greeted with
a fucilade of shot and with their
hands in the air they were robbed of
their revolvers and their money.
The robbers were next intercepted
at Watertown Jet, fifty miles east,
where three officers attacked the two
fugitives when they leaped off the
front end of passenger engine. In
the exchange of shots one of the rob-
bers was wounded. He was after
wards captured at Johnson's creek,
near Watertown. The other escaped.

City Commission Passes 0rdi-
nance Increasing Water
Pressure

Through the action Of the City Com
mission Last evening, upon petition Of
more than ninety percent Of the tax
payers of Bismarck, the Capital City
will have fire protection second to
none in the state. An ordinance was
passed last evening by which the 1':s-
marck Water Supply company agrees
within ninety days to install boost
er pump which will give the city 155
pounds pressure.
In consideration for tlis and otter
necessary improvements and better.
ments to keep pace witt, the magn;-
ffcent growth of tie city. tae conlm,s-
sion extended the franchise for a
period of nine years.
Those who voted in favor of the or
dinance were President Lucas and
C Commissioners iBattey, Berrscn an-
Kirk! s
- The company agrees within nine:y
days to maintain booster pump sta
ton near the Jackman place west OF
the city. This will be operated by the
Hughes Electric company and will be
set in motion automatically whenever
an alarm is sent in.
Plan is Approved
Both local engineers and well known
experts from the Twin Cities appear
ed before the Commission last even.
ing and testified. that the new arrange.
ment will give Bismarck adequate fire
protection for years to come.

marck is given the privilege to rur-
chase the waterworks a, a valuation

been circulated among property own
ers and signatures representing more
than ninety percent of the taxpayers
were secured The Commission last
evening had little to do but to regis

Preach State Opportunities.

FTedCn Stdte opportunities.
North Dakota, during its booster
week, will try to point out to the peo.
pie the splendid advantages open here
and the praises of North Dakota
will be cried up and down the high.
ways and by-ways of the world.
Many Plan to Observe Week.
Booster Week is to be observed in
many ways.
The week of state effort will be
opened on tSunday-with the expecta.
tion that ministers will use the boost.
er week as their theme in Sunday SER
mons.
Commercial clubs, civic organiza-
tions of all kinds, will hold booster
meetings during the week, and every
energy will be devoted to putting for
ward the states interests.
Newspapers Will Give Aid.
Probably the most striking plan for
the week is that Of publishing special
newspaper editions. Every newspa-
per in the state will be asked to issue
a special newspaper edition during
the week, and these papers will be
spread
They will carry North Dakota's
story far and wide. Clubs, cities and
the individuals will join in the distri-
button of these papers-and they
should be the means of carrying the
states story to thousands of people.
Reach 100000 People.
There are about 425 newspapers in
the state. Presuming that three
fourths of these adopted the plan and
each publishes an average Of 1000 ex-
ira papers. If these are sent out, the
result can readily be appreciated.
Three hundred newspapers with 1000
extra editions would be the means of
reaching 100000 people.
Distribution will be perfected by
several plans, individual support to
the movement being the most neces-
sary.
Ed Richter was elected state mana
ger, and C. w. Graves was made sec.
retary-treasurer.
The plan of gigantic proportions
will require great deal of work dur
ing the next few weeks.
That the state will reap splendid
benefits from the movement is the
concensus of opinion of all those to
whom the plan has been explained
and hearty support of the project is
certain.
Mr.. Richter left last evening for
Dickinson. He reports enthusiasm
for the movement.

Panama, Oct. 6.-Major General
George w. Goethals, has withdrawn
his resignation as Governor of the
Panama Canal Zone.
This fact was announced by General
Goethals tonight on his arrival on
board the steamer Chistobol, from
New York, after vacation spent in
the United States. His action was
taken, ne said, in view of the recent
slides in the Gaillard Cut, which had
closed the traffic through the canal.
Gov. Goethals said he would remain
in Panama indefinitely, until such a
time that the condition of the canal
would permit his departure. Further
than to make this statement and to
say that he had cabled Secretary OF
War Garrison withdrawing his resig-
nation which was to nave become ef-
fective November 1, General Goetnals
had nothing to say concerning the
Canal.
He did not seem worried over the
situation, but prepared to enter upon
the work of combating the slides.

State Booster Week as Means
of Dra,ving Neuu Settlers Is
Sponsored by State Editors

E. L. Richter, Larimore, president
Of the North Dakota State Press as.
sociation, was in Bismarck yesterday
arousing enthusiasm for the Boost
err or appreciation Week" to be
held November IA to 20 under the aus
pices of the state editors.
Hhe Bismarck Commercial club
made a contribution to the fund and
promised to cooperate in the move
ment. Governor Hanna has prepared
a proclamation for the occasion.
North Dakota Booster Week, No
vember II to November 20.
That is the week the people of
North Dakota will resolve themselves
into a. committee for the express pur-
pose of presenting to the world facts
and figures on why North Dakota en-
joys the remarkable prosperity that
has fallen to her lot.
1t is to be week of big things for
that state, according to plans adopted
at a meeting of the North Dakota
Press association executive commit
tee held recently.
1t is to be week during which the
people of the state will, if they accept
the spirit of the movement, devote
themselves to state service. 1t will be
a time for arousing state pride among
the people who already make North
Dakota their homeland it will. be a
week devoted to putting other people
in touch with the splendid opportunl-
ties offered by the state.
The state booster week idea will be
carefully worked out by a committee
named at yesterdays conference, and
there is every promise that it will be
one of the most successful enterprises
ever launched in the state.
Conditions Just Right.
Realizing the splendid opportunities
that prevail this year for bringing
the state to the front, the Press as.
sociation committee determined on it's
campaign with the object in view Of
making the most of these opportuni-
ties.
Probably the state never has been
in better position to talk about her
self that it is this year. With its g.
gantic crops, it's generally satisfact-
ory condition, and with the vast acres
of lands that still remain to be placed
under the guiding hands Of good far
mers, the combination is one that
should appeal to men and women
from other states who are looking for
a permanent home. "A

PRES. WILSON
ANNOUNCES
ENGAGEMENT
Secretary Tumulty Gives Out
Engagement of President to
Mrs. Norman Gait
PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER
HELPED FIX MATCH
News Comes AS Great Surprise
to Washington Society
Circles

Washington, Oct. 6.--Woodrow VIII.
son the President of the United States,
announced tonight his engagement I'd
Mrs. Norman G2lt of Washington. The
date of the wedding has not been fix.
ed, but it probably will lake place in
December, at Che hclme of the bride
elect. H.
The brief announcement made by
Secretary Tumulty came az sur
prise to Official Washington, but to a
number of intimate friends it has
long been expected. From this circle
came tonight the story of a friendship,
the elimination of which was viewed
as a happy turn in the happy life Of
the nations Chief executive.
Daughter Matchmaker
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin 'Bcns, who drew Mrs. Gait
into the White House circle. They
met her first in the early autumn of
last year, and were so much attracted
by her tlat they sought her out more
and more frequently, and the friend
ships between them rapidly ripenec
into an affectionate intimacy. Mrs.
Calf spent a month this summer at
Cornish, as the house guest of the
Presidents oldest daughter. 1t was
through this intimacy of his daughter
and cousin that the President lpad an
opportunity to meet and know Mrs
Gait. One of the most interesting
facts about the engagement, however,
as told by friends. is that the Presi-
dents daughters should have chosen
Mrs. Gait for their admiration and
friendship before their father did.
Well Known Widow
Mrs. rGalt is the widow Of a W
known business man of Washington,
who died eight years ago, leaving a
jewelry business that still bears his
name She has lived in Washingto,
since nor marriage in 1896. she is
about 38 years old, and was M
Edith Boiling, born in Wltheville,
Va, where her girlhood was spent and
where her father, William H. Boiling
was a prominent lawyer.
Mr. Wilson is in mis- 59th year. His
former wife died a little more than a
year ago.
An Unusual Beauty s..
In tho circle of people who have
known Mrs. Gait for many years she
has been regarded as, an. unusual
beauty gifted with natural charm.
Friends speak of her as being con.
stantly sought out as a delightful com.
panion, renlarking especially on her
thougatfulness and quick capacity for
anything she chooses to undertake.

and drove off with horse and buggy.
Next day, animal and vehicle were
found at the big slough just south of
Guptil and taken to a livery barn at
Darlington, where Mr.. Bengston secur.

as a quick method of making their
getaway. Whoever took the horse

cushion was not in the seat and they
did not wait to hunt it up.

Before an audience tnat packed the
theater in the auditorium of the hall
the doors Of the North Dakota State
Agricultural Exposition were formal.
ly thrown open yesterday afternoon.
I. P. Baker, president of the North
Dakota State Agricultural association,
under the auspices of which the Ex.
position is being held, presided. The
chief speakers were Governor L. B.
Hanna and Prof. Thomas Shaw.
In his opening remarks Captain
Baker dwelt upon the short time
which the management had to pre-
pare for the Exposition, commended
Manager J. B. Mills for his Cnthus.
iastic work and expressed his appre-
citation to the people who have so lib.
orally given of their support.
He introduced Governor Hanna.
Goverorn Hanna said in part:
Captain Baker and friends: ! be-
lieve we are all glad to be here this
afternoon even if the weather is not
what we might expect and wish for. I
believe in county fairs, such as we
have had In North Dakota and be.
lieve in such an agricultural exposi.
tion as we are having at Bismarck,
because it gives people an opportunity
and a chance to see what we can do
here in North Dakota. Sometimes we
think it is a dry country, but really
l think it is pretty wet, but sometime
we may have drier weather and we
may then pray for rain. ia
Exhibits Bring Results.
In conversation recently with
man on train, who was returning
from the Panama-Pacific exposition,
he remarked about the fine exhibits
there from North Dakota and said he
had picked up booklet which quoted
the price of land in this state. WE
made up our mind at once to sell our,
farm in Iowa. he said enthusiastical.
ly, and to come to North Dakota and
buy land for so much less money He
wanted to go to IHazelton in Emmons
county. don't know whether he
bought or not. / was wondering why
land is not bought at the present
price, for land is relatively cheaper
than in any other state.
II believe we need more people in !
North Dakota and that is why our
legislature called for more people in
to the state. Double the population
and we will quadruple the price Of
land in North Dakota. I
State Offers Better Opportunities.
North Dakota should cooperate
with land men in the state, CONNER
cial clubs and with the railroads to
get men from Iowa, Minnesota, Wis
consin and Indiana to come here, be-
cause this state offers better oppor.
tunities for them to live in We have
good schools, good railroad facilities,
and yet sometimes We are discourage
ed because we feel we are not going
ahead as fast as we should.
Governor Hanna introduced Prof.
Thomas Shaw, agricultural expert for
the Great Northern railway, who urg.
ed the farmers not to artificially in.
flate the value of the land, but to in.
crease it's real value by raising more
i've stock He gave conclusive figures
10 show why diversified farming paid
better than grain alone.
His address was listened to with
Keen interest. Many farmers took
,art by quickly answering questions

New York, Oct. 6.-Methods adopt.
ed by members of the New York
Stock Exchange yesterday to curb
speculations had drastic effects today.
In an active market where the selling
all but reached the flood of high buy.
ing, war specialties toppled far and
fast. When the closing gong sounded
more than a million and half shares
had changed hands and the speculative
leaders were down from five to fifteen
points.
Although various factors entered
into the selling the note CT warming
by the stock exchange authorities was
mainly responsible for the days
break. Many houses handling num-
bers of speculative accounts out Of
town were busy last night sending TEL
egrams to their customers notifying
them that more margins would be re-
quired. What are commonly known
as commission houses-Rrms with
wires to interior points-1gured in
gtoday's selling.
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit and
Chicago, where many customers of
these houses reside, were heard from
early in the day. Having pocketed a
