DOG TEAM IN
RACE AGAINST
DISEASE AGAIN
Carrying Anti Toxin Serum
To Nome, as Diphtheria
Epidemic Gains

Nome, Alaska, Feb. 2.-(By the A..
PA dog team, the fastest avail
able in the Arctic region, was believ-
ed speeding over the blizzard swept
course of frozen river today, in a
race against the advances of a
diphtheria epidemic here. which
counted its gains in the death of
three victims within the last 4s
hours. The team is driven by l..
Seppalla and is carrying 100000
units of anti-toxin.
Seppalla was somewhere between
Unalkik, 200 miles from Nome, and
Safety, 81 miles away. A blizzard
ragged along the Bering sea coast
yesterday. which shot temperature
down to 10 below zero, with a wind
of, increasing velocity.
The danger Of the 100000 anti
toxin units being frozen increases
every hour the dog team remains on
the blizzardy road.
Anticipating distress, team of
picked dogs was waiting at Safety to
take up the journey should the Sep
palla team pull in there.
Without the serum the medical or
ganization here was making losing
fight today against inroads of the
epidemic, which now lists % cases
Of the population of 1000.

NORTH DAKOTA
IS READY FOR
1925 SEASON
STOCK WINTERS WELL

There is an abundant supply OF
all feed and seed in North Dakota
for the year 1925, according to Com
missioner of Agriculture and Labor
Joseph A. Kitchen. With a minimum
Of fall blowing done, there will be
unusual activity in the fields in the
state early in the spring, according
to reports to the state commission.
er's office, With regard to condi-
tions in the state as the 1925 crop
planting season approaches Mr.. Kit
chen said today:
"There was minimum of fall
plowing done in 1924. This was due
to large grain crop and to general
fall rains that delayed harvest and
threshing. Fearing the ravages OF
Black Rust farmers generally en-.
deavor to. have their larger acreages
of spring wheat seeded by May lst
With the factors of small amount
of fall blowing, but with prevailing
high prices on wheat, there will be
energetic efforts made to get in con-
siderable spring blowing for the
seeding of spring wheat. In 1924
barley and corn had an equal acre
age of about 1,140,000 each. These
acreages will be slightly increased
in 1925. With the prevailing good
price on flax and the fact that flax
is imported, the 100000 acres seed
ed in 1924 will probably be increased
in 1925 to 100000 acres. Strenu.
Gus efforts have been made by
Banks, Railroads, and commercial
firms to increase dairy products in
North Dakota. $500 dairy cattle
were brought in on the 500 Line
alone in 1924. Farmers are exertine
more care in. securing registered
bulls and developing a better milk
production per animal. The begin.
ming of 1925 finds lower price on
butterfat than we should expect. This
will deter the State. as whole
from continued rapid advancement
in increasing dairy cattle. We anti
cipate considerable increase in the
number of hogs in 1925.

accidental
"Wilson was cleaning an automatic
pistol" Benson said. "The parts OF
the handle were lying on a bed. He
had pulled a chair beside the bed and
was working on the gun there. There
is no doubt that the shot was acci-
dental. One shell had been stuck in
the gun and others were in the bed

charge Of the extension department
of the university of that state. He

construction league. He was instru.
mental in the ELECTION of former
Governor Walton and after Walton's
entry into office was made president
Of the Oklahoma A., and M. college
Bullet Enters Heart
He held the office only short
time and was removed by Walton's
order.
The bullet penetrated Wilson'S
heart. He did not speak after be.
ing shot. His wife and daughter
hearing the report ran into the room
and found him lying on the floor.
The body was taken to a mortuary
and Benson indicated no formal in.
quest would be held.

OF STONE is
AGAIN 0. KID

Washington, Feb. 2.-For second
time the Senate judiciary committee
today ordered favorable report on
the nomination Of Attorney General
Stone to be supreme court justice

ed again the circumstances sur.
rounding the new legal proceedings
here against Senator Wheeler OF
Montana and the objections laid to
Mr. Stones objections before the
Supreme Court years ago as counsel
for the Morgan estate in the Owenby
case.
Administration leaders expect con-
firmation by the Senate without
much delay, opponents of the nomin-
alton indicated that they see little
value in the prolonging of the fight.
Members of the committee said
there were no votes in opposition
when the committee acted today but
some Senators withheld votes.

AT CHRISTIANS
Anti Christian Movement Be-
ing Carried on

Peking, China, Feb. 2.-(Corre-
spondence .of the Associated Press)-
Out of the general unrest prevailing
in China there appears to be grow
ing an anti Christian Sentiment.
The outstanding evidences of this
are strike of students at the "Yale
in China" high school and circula-
ton by Shanghai newspaper of a
paper denouncing Christianity and
Christian missionaries and their
work. Y.
The Shanghai, China, press, COM
menting editorially, says it is diff
cult to discover the reason for the
anti Christian movement "but one
exists, there can be, no doubt"

Tax COnsnltant

Between r),w and March Is, income

belonging to each partner, and each
partner is required to include in
his individual return such distribu-
tive share Of the earnings, whether
or not he has received them. l
The net income of corporations is
determined in much the same man
ner as that of an individual, but
they are taxed at flat rate of IL IL
per cent of the taxable net income
| instead of the graduated rates ap.
plying to- individuals, therefore the
tax on corporations will not be speci'
fically discussed in these articles.

tax. An alien who is travelling
through or temporarily sojourning

dent alien within the meaning OF
the law. A nonresident alien is not

Chicago. Feb. 2.-Wheat tumbled
under $500 a bushel today and reach

ringtOn Man

Wadcna, Mimi. Feb. 2. John Go,
ings of Darlington, N. d., whose
body was found in a corn shock neal
here, met his death by means OF
strangulation Eat the hands of Buck
O'Connor, known as b. A. Clancy
ard Edward Helm"
This was the verdict announced
late Saturday following a coroner's
inquest, presided over by J. j. Nc
Kinnon, Wadena county coroner.
Helm Being Sought
O'Connor. who is serving time in
Saltwater prison on forgery
charge. was one of two men who
started by automobile from Caring
ton with Goings. The toher man
said to be a companion Of O'Con-
nor, known as Edward Helm, is being
sought by police.
Helm disappeared after Goings
blood dstained car was found in Min.
neapplis. O'Connor was arrested
after some checks taken from Goings
were cashed by him.
W. W. King. who found Goings
body; George Goings, brother of
the murdered man, and DR.. Pau
Kenyon, Wadena physician who as
sisted in the autopsy, testified at
the inquest.
O'COnnOr's Sweater Found
A green sweater, found in the
cornfield near Goings' body, was
identified by George Goings as that
belonging to O'Connor, who. with
Helm. left Darlington, N. D.. in John
Goings' automobile.
The brother Of the murdered man
testified that he rode about mile
out of Darlington with his brother
and O'Connor and Helm, and then
left the machine. Goings' intentions
were to drive to Cleveland, his
home. O'Connor and Helm, who
worked on farm with Goings, told
Goings they would drive as far as
Minneapolis.
Bruises on Goings' head indicated
that he was beaten first with blunt
instrument. DR.. Kenyon testified. II
is doubtful, he said, whether the
blows caused death, but he expressed
the belief that the rope tied around
Gcings' neck resulted in death b!
strangulation.
Murder Charge Forecast
Goings, bachelor. had more thar
$500 in cash and checks when he left
Darlington with the two men, it was
brought out at the inquest.
County Attorney, John H. Mark
who is cooperating with Hennepir
county officials in an effort to ap
prehend Helm, will ask that O'Con
nor and Helm be charged with thu
murder of Goings, it is expected.
The body of Goings was shippee
to Covington, Ohio, yesterday fo
interment.
