Who They Are.
p John p. French came to Bismarck
IN 1884 as young man. He has
tarmed and operated a hardware bus
iiiess here for 50 years, and there are
few men in Bismarck or Burleigh
county better known or better liked
He has made a success Of his own
business; he served successfully for
two.years as sheriff Of Burleigh coun.
ty, and his public career is a monu-
ment to his efficiency and integrity.
John A. Larson is native. son of
Bismarck. At least the capital city
has always been proud to claim him,
even though he was born on his
fathers farm few miles north of
the city. All Of his life has been spent
here. He has been actively identified
with the progress of Bismarck from
the time he was young man, and
he has established reputation for
business ability, civic pride and gen
eral, good. citizenship. He has for
years been manager Of one of the larg-
est lumber companies in this section
of the state.
E. H. Howell, Bismarck's new po.
lice magistrate, came here as man.
ager for the! Finch Lumber Co. many
years ago, and he has welded himself
into the civic and community life of
Bismarck. He has been prominent
In the commercial and social develop.
ment OF the scity, active in church
work and in the promotion of the
moral welfare OF the community, and
his talents>should make him an excep.
tionally fortunate choice for the police
magistrateship. . ~
D"Bill" Harris, the new city Justice,
Is q young business man whom every
one kneYs and admires. He is typi-
cal of the newer blood which has been
injected into the commercial life of
Bismarck, and he is a very worthy
member Of the quartette which was
honored by being elevated into public
life yesterday.

their prisoner and returned to Rice

Postoffice inspectors at New York
City reported last week the discovery
there of seventeen internal machines
put in the mails addressed to pro-
minent officials, including cabinet
officers. One of the machines is I'M
derstood to have exploded during
examination but without doing great
damage. All were similar to the bomb
sent to former Senator Hardwick, of
Georgia, which, when opened at the
home, blew off the hands of negro
maid and injured Mrs. Hardwick.
Among those TO whom the pack
ages were addressed are Post
master General Burleson; Secretary
OF Labor Wilson. Attorney General
Palmer, Commissioner General Cam
inetti, of the immigration bureau;
Mayor Hylan, of New York; Cover
nor Sprould, of>Pennsylvania; John
D. Rockefeller, ]. P. Morgan; Solicit
or General Larmar, of the postoffice
department, and S. c. Howe, immi-
grant commissioner at New York.
The discovery followed an in
vestigation ordered after the Hard
wick explosion. The packages bore
the label of Gimbell Brothers stores
and are sealed but did not have
sufficient postage. This caused postal
officials to notify Gimbell Brothers,
who disclaimed ownership of the
packages and said the labels were
forged.
Seventeen packages Were pulled
out of the mails but the officials
fear others may have had sufficient
postage and gone thru the mails.
Associate Justice Holmes, of the
United States Supreme Court, was
another of the prominent intended
victims Most Of the other packages
were addressed to officials or pro-
minent men in private life.
