uncut diamonds. Mosher had just left

drive him to the railroad station when
"a black car which contained the four
robbers swept up alongside. Crowds of
machines carrying the theatrical
crowds going home sped past. The
robbers drove Morris car with the traf
fic. They turned into a street where
there was little traffic and then search
ed Morris and obtained the wallet of
the salesman. Just as the bandits
sped away the police from the Chica-
go avenue station, who heard the
screams of the victims arrived on the
scene. They were unable to secure

IFlT COULD BE CONTROLLED

That the state administration can,
in some mysterious way, control the
price Of grain, and that it is respon-
sible for the present low prices, it is
the impression that the Nonpartisan
league -can1paigners are trying hard to
leave with the voters.
They do not go so far as to make
the statement fatty, for it is such self
evident bunk" that no person with
the intelligence Of boy Of twelve
years could be expected to believe it..
I But they do dwell upon the low
prices Of farm produce, and try to
induce the farmers to vent any bit
terness they may feel on the heads of
Mr.. Nestos and his associates.
Governor Nestos answered this cam
paign argument quite effectively in
his speech at Kuhn, when he called at
tention to the fact that the price of
wheat dropped more than 81 BUSH
el under the Frazier administration,
even after the league leaders had adj
vised farmers to hold their wheat for
a better price. when it was selling at
$2.65 bushel.
During the Nestos administration it
has dropped but half of that amount.
If the state administration had any
power to control grain markets, why
didn't the Frazier administration keep
the price up to $2.65 or increase it to
the figure they told the farmers they
should receive?
They didn't do it because they did
not have the power to do it, of course
North Dakota couldn't raise enough
money by taxation in a year to raise
the price of wheat 20 cents a bushel.
If there was any way in which North
Dakota could add so percent to the
present prices for all kinds of farm
produce, probably IS percent of the
voters would favor it. The increase
in living costs would be insignificant
in comparison with the general pros
perity that would result. But it can't
be done by the state administration,
and nobody knows it better than Mr..
Frazier and Mr.. Lemke.
If Mr.. Lemke or Mr.. Frazier had
any real desire to present the issues
of this campaign honestly, they would
make this fact clear. The success of
popular government depends upon an
honest discussion Of public issues. Mr..
Frazier and Mr.. Lemke evidently have
no desire to engage in such honest
discussion.-Forum.

CLAIM HALL WAS
KILLED BY ACCIDENT

New Brunswick, N. j., Oct. 18--Dr.
Edward Hall was slain by accident as
he tried to save Mrs. Eleanor Mills
from the fury Of an insane woman.
The couple were murdered on the eve
ming of. the 18th of September and
their bodies were found on the 10Th
on the Phillips farm. Either one or
both Of them were lured from their
home or kidnapped while on their way
to their rendezvous. The murder &C.
CURED at the house near where the
bodies were found. Miss Florence
North, attorney Tor Charlotte Mills,
said Everything we have discovered
concerning the crime and the probes
into the past life of the relations Of
the principals turned the finger to-
ward that direction. The murder was
instigated by a jealous woman. My
men have absolutely established that
the crime was an accident and place
little credence in the theory Of black
mail. We have only scratched the ser
face and no name among those in
vo}ved in the case has been elin1inat-
ed. We will proceed regardless Of
what the authorities may do and the
murderer of Mrs. Mills must be brot
to justice. Poor little Charlotte Mills
with her future all destroyed from the
grin, tragedy and with stepping to-
ward the future in the whirl of ex-
element. She can not rest, and she
cannot relax and she is robbed of the
love of a mother which was more to
her than a sister. There is no one
who can take the place of her moth
er in her life but the murder of her
mother can be avenged. 1t might be
we'll to tell the story of the murder.
After a thorough investigation into
the life Of the principals and as Char
lotte has helped me find. From all
the evidence my men have gathered
from which in time l hope to be able
to show the picture complete, each bit
of evidence fits in just like the pieces
of picture puzzle. The name Of the
murderer cannot be named as yet but
after some more Of the links have
been linked together 1 hope to be able
to present the prosecutor a picture OF
the night of the crime cr. Hall and
Mrs. Mills met on Tuesdays, Fridays,
and Sundays, as they were not killed
on one of their meeting nights. Char
lotte Mills told me that her mother re-
ceived from neighbor, Mrs. Opey,
message to call Dr. Hall Thursday
afternoon and she refused he offer of
the neighbor to use her phone and ran
to little corner grocery. What she
said is not known by anyone. She left
her home at 1880 that evening and has
not been seen alive after that

The tragedy of transportation

The tragedy of transportation
The wheat rate to Buffalo has been
&c all summer. Today charters are
made at &C, with a demurrage clause
"a thousand dollars day after the
first 72 hours. Average delay 10
days, 7 days demurrage, &c bushel
on cargo. of 100000 bushels.
Charters without the demurrage
clause are made at Sc. 1t comes to
the same thing.
Rates from Buffalo to Montreal all
summer were to 6c-today, 15c.
Rates by Barge Canal have jumped
from or Sc to 14c. The rail rate, ex-
port, is Ole.
Little moved by rail, and little is
going by Barge Canal, even at the
premiumc. The tragedy of transpor-
tation.
Brokers at Duluth and Port Arthur
dare not bid to the transportation
price. The channels are choked and
deliveries are uncertain. The tragedy
Of transportation.
Country elevators have posted no
tees that no wheat can be taken in.
The tragedy of transportation.
Wheat is damned back at the sea-
board, at Buffalo, at the upper lake
ports, at the country elevators. The
farmer pays. 1t is the tragedy Of
transportation.

Gently that he was favoring J. F. T.

cause they will not support Frazier,
there will not be very many republic

EDITORIAL


When the editors of league papers
come out in cold print and say that
they cannot get "damn" enthusiastic
over the candidacy of VIM. Lemke for
governor, how can the leaguers ex-
pect any of the opposition 70 enthuse.
Yet the same league papers in the
next breath say that hundreds of in
dependents are flocking TO Lemke.
The fellow who made the survey OF
voters at Fargo, the other day in
which he said Mr.. Lemke was going to
carry that city, is just the same kind
of fellow that has been holding office
under Frazier for the past five years
he was incompetent. 1t was his
class of state workman that helped
put North Dakota in her present fin
ancial condition. We hardly think
Fargo or any other town is going to
vote for a return Of this class of pub
Tic service.

Leaguers are making terrible ado
because Gov. Nestos has travelled
10000 miles since he became govern
or. This is a pretty good record, for
in those trips the governor has been
enabled to undo most Of the mischief
wrought by Frazier and Lemke in
their travels at state expense over a
period of several years when they
and their league supporters spent
1885 900 in trying to sell bonds, and
when Lemke's license department
spent $4,000 in six months. Gov.
Nestes has brought back confidence in
the state and is the best salesman
that North Dakota ever had on the
road.-Mandan Pioneer.

Music lovers with an aversion for
jazz were recently alarmed to hear
from Italy that one of the modernist
composers had engaged an inventor to
make a group Of new instruments to
increase the resources Of the conven-
tional orchestra Of strings, percussion
brass and bells. The result was a
dozen or more devices to make strange
sounds, and the composer quickly set
to paper the notes of tone poem that
would employ these new sounds. Ears
attuned to Mozart and Beethoven take
no pleasure In these strange, not to
say raucous, sounds Noise-making
machines, they are termed by listeners
who will have none of them. With all
the present demand that the symphony
orchestra be enlarged to meet the Pc
culiar demands of this new writer or
that, it would seem that it would be
Il orter to hold conference Of must
clans with the object of determining
just what constitutes 4 musical in
