CHAPTER III.
WHERE THE WATER STOPS
TO REST. \.

His father! There was nothing In
the world the mar hungered SO much
to know. In the long days Of toll the
thought sometimes woke and stune
him; In the black night he pondered
1t. His father! The past! All locked
behind h mask-like face of the
lron-Gray-Woman. The fever had
fared forth a word-all too little. 1t
was the first he had ever heard: it
might be the last. 1t left him hungry
to hear more -. &. "a Z,
e AS he stopped over her, anxious to
do something to alleviate her suffer-
ing, yet not knowing what, she raised
her face in a gasp for breath, and he
saw blood upon her lips. He snatch
ed another cup Of water and knelt
beside her, but for a long time she
bumped forward, her shoulders
cupped in and her arms locked as if
trying to hold back the cough, until
she seemed actually to conquer it by
sheer force Of will. Finally she CROP
ed with one hand for the cup. supped
the cool. water, Strengthened, and lay
back In her chair. There was no
more blood on her lips. and the man
said nothing Of the tiny Geek he had
seen there.
Mother. they're getting worse,
these spells. Let me bring the doc
tor down from the Yillage?"
Her eyes opened; she looked up at
him with feverish quickneas.

LOOKS LIKE PLAIN MURDER.

The report Of the commission Of
four named by Generals Obregon and
Gonzales to make a preliminary in
vcstigation into the facts surrounding
the death of former President Car
/ rama makes the a look ike one
Of plain murder under circumstances
which make it a peculiarly atrocious
get, ever for murder.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by this commission Colonel
Herrera, who had formerly headed; a
rebellion against the constituted gov
his allegiance to his former chief, and
did so in the little mountain hut
where the fugitive president had TAX
en- refuge with members of his little
party for the night. During the
night, in the absence of Herrera, but
strongly to his completely, Carranza
vas fired upon in his sleep and foully
assassinated. Herrera and his men
later participated in the pursuit and
capture of members of Carranza's
party, and it is declared that under his
forced to sign a statement that Car
rama had committed suicide. If the
facts are as stated a crime has been
committed which calls for such pun
ishment as will impress all persons,
everywhere, that assassination is not
n -@1;<;o1l ,1k A,t - ,i~;n 1r;~e1
failing the punishment which all
criminals must expect.
The action of the revolutionary
leaders in appointing this commits
sion, and the action of the commits
sion itself. creates a most favorable
impression. There has at no time been
reason to suspect Oregon and Con
zales of completely in this crime. They
repudiated it Immediately and en-
phatically, and at nce took as effec.
tive steps as possible to ascertain the
facts in order that responsibility might
be fixed. h report of the commits
sion is temperate and cautious. There
has not been time for a full investi-
cation. and the report is avowedly
only a statement Of facts commune
Gated without the opportunity for a
searching inquiry. The recommen-
dation is made for the creation Of
another co0mission with authority to
push the inquiry in every possible
way. to check up the statements al
ready made, and to obtain further in
formation from others who cannot
now be reached. Herrera, whose
case looks black, is not to be con-
demned unheard, but it is advised
that he he secured and given an OPP
portunity to give his explanation, il
he has one o..
The authorities of the provisional
government are evidently doing all
that they can to fix the responsibility
for. this crime, if a crime has beer
committed. and they are apparently
proceeding as promptly and mas or
derby a manner as could be- desired;

GOOD RAINS.

The showers which nave fallen dur
ing the past week here have put the
ground in the best of condition for
the growth of the early crops, and
at the same time they have not beef
heavy enough to flood the fields or
to interfere greatly with late seeding,
The rainfall of Tuesday night averaged
about half an inch, and half an inch
Of water will moisten soil sufficiently
to insure quick termination of seed
wtthou rendering the sofl soggy.
Never have the fields of North Da-
kota looked better. Seeding, in spite
Of chilly weather until late, has been
fairly early because 1t has, been sub
jected to very little interruption, and
the weather has been cool enough
thus far to promote deep root growth,
which means heavy stooling later and
resistance to later bad weather con-
ditions.
The r o OF. 1920 is in it's beginning,
OF course. and it would be follv to
predict a big crop on the showing of
the last Of May. Nevertheless, the
month approaches it's close with the
field conditions all that could be asked
for, and we are that much to the
good.
Particularly gratifying is the news
that comes from the western. section
OF the state. Unfavorable weather
conditions have prevailed in some iso.
lated sections fof two or three years
in succession. and the condition OF
farmers in those localities is serious.
Those farmers are particularly I'M
fortunate in having missed crops when
prices were. at record figures. But
North Dakota is a resilient state, and
has vast powers If r%ecuperation. II
the fates would this year give us q
good crop-not a bumper crop, bu,
Just ~ good, satisfactory crop-ai1
over the state. at the prices which are
likely to prevail. the year would be
the banner year IN the history Of the
state.

A Few Reflection

Man that is born of woman is
!of few days and full of trouble.
We were brought to realize this
in the untimely death of Murl
Kohl, whose funeral occurred last
Suneiay. We know not what a
day will bring forth" A week
before his death he left Cheyenne
Wells for Kansas City to attend
An Automobile school, the better
to fit himself for his chosen vo-
cation. A severe cold rapidly
developed iEto Pneumonia which
quickly resulted in death. This
was surprise and q shock to his
many friends here. and the en-
tire community's sympathies go
eut to the bereaved widow and
<fatheyless children. God moves
in 81 mvsterous way. his wonders
to perform. He says l will pre-
serve the fa.herless children
ard let the widows trust in me-

Perpetual Assininity

On every hand there is an in
sistent demand that the peac'
treaty and the league of nation
be disposed of in Washington.
Every where you turn you hea
the Caustic remark cOncernln,
the perpetual asslnlnity of ou
governmental end senatorial rep
1esentatiyes in the national capl-
tol.
The patience of the American
people is exbaused. Tney ar
weary of being held up to tn
ridicule of the civilized world by
a bdnch OF pOliticl. n wilosechie7
ann IN official life appears to be
that of making faces at each ott-
er.
Our men in the trenches took
the bit IN their teeth and cOversC C
themselves with 81 ry.
Our representatives in Wash
ington are mired IN a sea of in
action and buck passing and are
humiliating the nation which per
rnlts them to misrepresent it.
1t is time for final ruing on
the peace treaty and the league
of nations.
There ia no reason under the
sun why peace should not be con
cluded with the Teutonic nations
No reasonable person can OBJ
ject to an endorsement of the
/. ague of nations with reserva
tions which protect the legitimate
interests OF the United States.
There is every reason in the
world why the senate come out
of it's trace and take the definite
action which we have been wait
ing these many months.
All intelligent people know
that Europe today is again a
seething volcano, and that only
prompt and definite action by the
United States car stabilize the
situation.
All Europe knows that the
cross stupidity at Washington is
the greatest aid to bolsheyism
this country has ever seen.
Either the White House and
the senate are mentally capable
of effecting a reasonable com
promise on the league of nations
which would be acceptable to the
people, or they are not.
If they have the brains neces
sary for the performance of this
duty, they should take final sc
ton at once. If .hey are menta
ly incapable of discharying tnei,
obligations to the people. the,
should resign and 20 hcme.
There is not man in Wash
ington in public life of either pa
ty who cannot be replaced by an
other man just as 90 d. and the
sooner they give this fact perm
nent Judgment under their hat
the better it will he for their
selves and for the country as
whole
