One Of Jamestown's biggest handi.

Of It's own moral leaders. Several OF

demned the scheme as contrary to

\. D. VOTED IN MARCH, 1892
Capital City 6Ianketed State
With Comprehensive Fig
ures in Case

Never in the history Of North Da-
kota has q campaign been waged
which compares with that made by
Bismarck to retain the capital In
March, 1892. Every avenue Of ap-
proach to the voters was used in an
effort to acquaint them with the
facts. The overwhelming vote by
which Jamestown's bid was rejected
proved both the merit of the cause
end the efficacy Of the campaign
methods.
It had been hoped when the mat
ter was before the legislature that the
emergency would enable the capitol
commission to have the building well
upon its way by the time the matter
came to vote. The thought Of those
who entertained this idea was that
II . substantial investment in new
building already had been made in
Bismarck It would cause the electorate
to view the matter as q foregone con-
cllSiou.
But the difficulty Of selecting a
design and making other arrange
ments caused delay and the result
was that not shovelful Of dirt had
been moved when the issue came to a
vote.
The first step in the campaign was
TO make careful analysis Of the rela-
tive arguments which might be ad-
vanced by the two cities. Jamestown's
statements were carefully scrutinized
By q committee which worked for sew
eral weeks on this subject. Local pro-
fessional men and statisticians do
mated their services and information
was obtained from all sources. Their
investigation showed that Bismarck
had an incompatible argument on the
basis Of physical advantages and geo.
graphical location as we'll as from the
standpoint Of the state property
which would be made useless II the
capital were moved. It was shown
that the loss to the taxpayers would
exceed 100000, to say nothing Of
the loss to Bismarck property owners
Covered All Phases Of Question
Subsequently this information was
turned over to q larger committee
which prepared from it detailed
statement Of Bismarck's position and
presented the arguments favorable to
this city. A small card epitomized the
arguments while q larger pamphlet
gave them in detail. In addition the
detailed argument was printed in the
publicity pamphlet prepared by the
secretary Of state.
Other committees were assigned to
tie task Of collecting money and ar
ranging other details OF the campaign
ard the entire effort was reviewed
and directed by general committee.
Discussion Of the line Of campaign
led to almost as many viewpoints az
there we're members Of the committee
Some wanted to stress the financial
situation and the prospective loss t1

There they met cold reception and

Of vote NO until at the close nearly
everyone was reminding everyone else
how to vote on this issue.
Never in the history Of Bismarck
has its big World War Memorial build

gathered to hear the election returns
as reported by The Tribune and the
Associated Press. Men, women and
children gathered to hear the answer

BILE for what.
THARLES MAKLEY, Harry
~ Pierpont, and Russell Clark,
all rounded up with Dillinger at
Tucson. Ariz., have been convicted
Of the murder of Sheriff Jess Sar-
Der when they freed Dillinger
from the small Jail at Lima, o.,
the two former being sentenced
to the chair.
With him still, however, are be-
lieVed to be Tom Carroll, George
Baby Face Nelson, Homer Van
Meter, and John Hamilton. It is
unlikely that these five travel %
gether in a pack. but probable
that they separate and reunite &C
cording to plan.
Carroll, who has used the names
Of James Roy Brock, Frank Sloan,
George McLarken, Thomas Muir
ply, and Thomas Murray is a
paroled thief, bank robber, and
gunman, especially wanted for the
murder of Special Agent w. Car
ter Baum Of the department of
justice in the gunfight near
Rhinelander, Wis, in which the
Dillinger gang escaped a trap.
He also killed a police officer in
San Antonio, Tex, IN December,

surly fellow, with mouth which
twists distinctly to the right.

NELSON, escaped thief, is be-
~ lieved correctly named Lester
M. Gillis. He, too, is wanted for
the murder of Baum. A Chicago
product, he is a small, light man
with yellow and gray-slate eyes,
who has worked as an oiler.

favor by freeing Dillinger from

Hamilton, whose trade is that
of carpenter, bears a long irregu-
lar scar in the center of his fore
head, and a heart and banner
with the initials u. H" tatooed
on his left outer forearm.
Because of the particularly
fragrant manner in which these
men have def1ed the law. because
of the publicity they have re-

Despite a bad prison record,
he was paroled in 1888, and then,

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN :

XTOU NAV be able to exist without food from
L thirty to forty days and without water from
five to days, but you can't do without oxygen Tor
even five minutes.
If you are deprived of oxygen for even one min
ute you would be in a serious situation and If this
should be extended only slightly, you would become
unconscious and life would end
The margin of oxygen reserve in your body is
so narrow that it is easily crossed, and yet it is
margin between life and death
ANYTHING that interrupts breathing is menace
to life Your whole breathing mechanism, more
over IS complicated that various types OF IN
terrupton are possible.
There is that portion Of the brain which con-
trolls the automatic character Of breathing there
are the in the spine and those leading from
the spine to the muscles that are involved in breath
ing; there are the passages through which the air
flows and the lungs themselves.
A NYTHING that blocks the passages or that
n breaks the pathways along which the stimu-
lus to breathing moves may bring about death
Therefore whole lives are spent in getting suf-
The period for which any one hold his breath
without discomfort is apparently limited to forty
five seconds. If, however you prepare yourself for
holding your breath by breathing slowly and deeply
for certain length Of time, you may be able to
do without breathing for anywhere from five to six
minutes
If in addition to that the air you breathe is sup
plemented with extra oxygen you can extend the
period without the motions of breathing TO almost
fifteen minutes.
1t has been pointed out that the sprint SWIM
naers IN recent olympic games breathed oxygen be-
fore entering the races and had considerable ad-
vantage because CT that fact
XXIHEN you exert effort you breathe more oxygen
w than when at rest.
At rest you breathe about one-fourth quart OF
oxygen minute While walking briskly, you breathe
about a quart a minute, and during heavy work
violent exercise, from one and one-half to two
quarts minute.
The most oxygen that you can store up in your
body is about three quarts Therefore, the marathon
in question is using up his oxygen about as
fast as he can take it in.
However nature provides that body with factors
of safety that it is possible to up oxygen
debt. Trained athletes are able to run this debt
as high as fifteen quarts of oxygen
These are the athletes who so well trained
that they do not have to worry about getting
ond wind since their oxygen is adequate before they
start
Getting second wind is the development of
enough oxygen reserve to carry on activity without
