As we have said before, it was
incumbent upon MIR. Hughes to
ccnfinc the limitations of his re-
marks to the limit of time he had
to deliver them in, but his crush-.
ing analysis of the shortcomings
Of the present administration of
the government is merely syn
iorsis of what he will have to say
where he has the opportunity of
making a longer stay.
in saying that he believed in
preparedness not for aggression,
but for protection" and the de-
manding of the respect in the
world of nations that this country
is entitled to, he made a decided
hit with his audience. Again, in
promising that in case of his
election the so-called ''pork BAR
rcl'' would be a thing of the past,
much applause prevailed.
In closing Mr.. Hughes wished
The people of Golden Valley pros.
per!ty supreme, and amid hand
clarping and waving of flage
made his departure westward, the
next stop being Glendive.
The Beach band. i'm full uni
form, played a national air as the
special train arrived and also as
it left, and the editor of this paper
as member of the press gang on
the way up from Dickinson, can
vouch for the fact that everyone
connected with the party was
truly appreciative of their pre-
sence. as we'll as of the crowd
that had turned out to hear our
next president, MIR. Hughes.
Ii might be we'll to add that
when the coast to coast tour was
scheduled from New York, Beach
was left out, but that through an
arrangement made by j. r.
Waters through Senator p. J.
McCumber, Golden Valley people
were given an opportunity of
hearing the Republican standard
bearer. j. p. Reeves. as chairman
of the Republican County Com
mittee lent every effort possible
toward making a surety of the
special train stopping here and
those who heard Mr.. Hughes
should give these gentlemen cred
/ it for the opportunity they had
and of which they took advan-
tagc.

VIM. Gilbert
Loses His Life
Meets With Fatal Accident in N
p. Yard Here Last Monday.

An accident so terrible that the
entire city was shocked as it has
not been in years before, occur
red here last Monday noon when
William Gilbert lost his life in
The railroad yards near the J. r..
Smith elevator, as the result of an
accident. Judging by the best
information we were able to Sc
cure the accident occurred when
tho south branch train was
switching in the yards prepara-
tory to making its usual run
down the south branch. Mr..
Gilbert being employed as a
brakeman was in the act of adj
justing a brake and as it was
much easier to turn than he had
Expected he lost his balance and
fell. the car passing completely
over his body and severing it in
twain. Death was instantaneous
and the body was mangled hor-
r;biy.
Those who found the remains
and saw a portion of the accident
notified the proper authorities at
once, who arrived Immediately
and upon an examination of eye
witnesses found that his death
was purely accidental and that no
blame could in any way be laid
upon the train crew.
Funeral services were held
TUESDAY afternoon at Sentinel
Butte, Rev, Kessinger of this city
officiating. and interment was
made in the cemetery there. A
large number from here were in
attendance to pay their last tri-
hute to one whom was respected
and whose acquaintance was
treasured by all who knew him.
The deceased was born August
%, 1875 at London, Ontario, Can
ada and came to Sentinel Butte
with the rest of the family in
1882. He took up railroading as
Ibis life's work and for a long
time worked in the capacity OF
brakeman on the main line, work
ling between Dickinson and Glen
dive Upon the completion of the
|south branch he took a like posi-
ton on it in order that he might
remain at home with relatives

A very short while elapsed
before the fire whistle sent out
ills call of warning and almost inn
1rediately after that the fire boys
were on hand and had several
streams of water playing on the
Schweitzer building, which at
that time had every appearance
of seething furnace. Several
lines the Hoffman store, adjoin-
Ing to the north, caught and only
tllc prompt and efficient work of
,lle department saved it from be-
ing almost the total loss the En-
porium is. Hoffman Bros. with
the assistance of willing Witness
eS packed up the larger share of
their stock and moved consid-
cradle amount of it across the
street. Their loss was brought
about largely through smoke and
water. At several times the Gill
beltson store to the south was in
imminent danger and although,
the roof suffered damage and the
Flames at one time leaped through
"a rear window and slightly burn.
cd the wall the heaviest damage
is by virtue of smoke and water.
The stock in the Emporium
appears to the writer to be prac.
tically total loss and the build
ing is injured to large extent.
In an interview with Mr.. SchweitZ-
er this Saturday. morning he
said that he had insurance but
That he did not think it would
much more than half cover the
loss as he had cancelled some OF
the insurance he carried not long
ago.
Various opinions are being ex-
pressed as to the origin of the fire
Some contend that it is the work
of an incendiary, while others are
of the opinion that it was caused
by lighted match, cigarette OF
cigar thrown in refuse to the rear
OF the buildings by some prowler
presumable transient. 1t is gen.
orally believed and every evidence
goes to prove. however, that the
buildings caught from the out
side.
';'he Beach Fire Department is
worthy of commendation for thei1
work this morning, as we'll a:
that which they have done ir
::he past. and they should be an
Ireciated by every property
owner in Beach as they are eve1
willing and ready to do their ut
telmost to save property loss.

Ii is useless for the writer to
try and express in words the SYM
pathy that is extended by all who
knew the deceased to the sorrow
ing family, as words are to feeble
to describe it. His many friends
grjeve with them and his valued
acquaintance will be missed by
far more than is ordinarily int

Predicts Renewed
 Socialist Activity.
 Tn Favor of Peace

Rome, June ZI-A renewed social ist activity for peace is predicted by Belgian parliament from CSharleroi
 MT. Destree has been in Italy for a. number of months, lecturfng and writ ing on socialist questions but particu- larly with the view, it is understood. of maintaining the Eelations among the socialists that existed before the war to prevent the dismemberment of ma tonal political organizations.
 There are at present three distinct movements among the socialists of Europe" said Dr. Destrees to The As sociated Press. .'and these lines are rapidly being drawn tighter. In It. ally, in France, and in Germany has existed for some time those socialists who have supported the war and those socialists who have held aIoof from 1t, though passively. The new align ment of the three movements con- sists first, of those nattonalists who are taking an active part in support ing the war; secondly, those who are in sympathy with the work of the In ternational Socialistic Bureau, now located at the Hague, the officers of which are seeking to bring about peace dfscussions; and thirdly, those socialists who recently met at Trimmer kwaldI Switzerland, and who therefore may be termed 'Zimmerwaldens' These latter want peace at any price
 'The two latter groups are sending invitations and arranging meetings for the summer to examine if there are not some terms on which peace is pos sfbIe, and these meetings will be att tended by socialists from all the bsllig- erent countries, and possibly from the United States
 Personally, belong to the first group, the nationalists, who refuse to make peace until there is victory by arms for somebody. If there is a peace which is not brought by arms ] then it means that armaments will continue, and this would be a Tnisfor- tune for all. As a socialist cannot but pray for lasting peace, no matter what the present sacrifices may be- | 4InteFnational peace must be based on Justice and we cannot have justice as long as armaments exist to enforce
 injustice.
 i 'aThe German socialists might have prevented the war if they had .consid-
 cred questions of justice rather than l that of gain. The trouble with them before the war was that they were al- lways fighting about questions of wages l of salaries, rather than points of jus tice, and when the war came with a 1 chance of gain to Germany they voted
 for it in the Reichstag and despite the declaration Of the socialist congress oi Stuttgart
 Regarding the political changes that
 may come after the war, MT. Destree said: There can be none unless the iGermans are defeated. If they are defeated the socialists will certainly work in every country to see that wal I does not come again.
 ''In France and Belgium, however land probably in other countries at wal I the old problems of before the war vii not have the same vitality. With Ger many defeated lasting peace will come easily and our immediate problem will be those of reconstruction, of re
 building our fortunes"

OWNING ROD IS
 LOCATING WATER
 IN DESERT LANDS
German Professor Says Mys-
 terious Iron Staff Is Near ly Infallihle.

Berlin. June 27-Scientiflc expert ments with the divining rod conducted by Germans over a period of months in the desert wastes of Syria and Hast ern approximately in the dis tIict of the new railway line being tuilt towar1 the Suez Ce.naI---not only have resulted in the discovery of wa ter, but have proved that the Scorned and flouted rod is about 70 per cent 1nfaIlfble. according to pr. Tn. Preyer, formerly in the German consular ser vice, who is practical scientist him self. He admits that he should belong to that majority of intelligent persons who deride the divining rod as a swindle if he had not been able to see it work for four months.
 Dr. Preyer admits that he does not know the secret of the divining rod, and that seemingly a peculiarly gift ed" man must use the instrument to have success. He believes that sci- ence will discover that subterranean streams flowing under pressure, emit rays like the radioactive rays of some springs which force their way through the earth and affect certain peculiarly constituted persons
 He describes Mayor 7on Gv, who
 used the rod in Egypt, as a, remarkably nervous man who becomes tuned up'' to an unusual tension when he takes the rod into his hands and begins to walk across the desert.
 The mayor generally uses an iron rod. for, though it is less sensible to the mysterious forces which make it
 trernbIe, it works satisfactorily because of his highly developed gifts He has, however, and occasionally uses
 rods of wood, aluminium and silver.
