IS DEVINE OUT OF IT? N. D a k . S t a t e S u p e r i n t e n d e n t F a i l s

t o C a r r y H i s O w n C o u n t y . BISMARCK, N. D.—The loss of LaMoure

county's delegriion by State Superintendent Devine is the "Wat break In the administra­tion slate up to date. It was expected that Mr. Devine would carry his own county, and this being the case, his renomination would have followed as a matter of course. Now that he will not have his delegation in the state convention, the combination makers will probably look about for another Barkis, with a delegation, to help in the combina­tion making. The fact that Blackwell -has carried the county in support of his condi-dacy for the attorney generalship does not signify that he will receive the nomination. In fact, it seems the sentiment of those best informed that Blackwell has little chance to land the place, and that in dispossessing Devine, LaMoure county has lost its chance of having a representative on' the state ticket.

Trouble is said to be brewing among the clans in the far western part of the state. Senator Simpson, who controlled the con­ventions in Stark and Billings counties, may meet-with opposition to his several tickets in the shape of an independent legislative ticket. It is said the convention recently held at Gladstone nominated several demo­crats for office, and that republicans who do not relish the ticket may find in this an ex­cuse to support an opposing ticket. What truth there is in the report cannot be said, but it is among the gossop that comes from the western part of the state.

Adjutant General E. S. Miller has gone to Devils Lake to be early on the ground and make preparations for the encampment of tho state national guard. Captain T. W. Moore, Twenty-first infantry. Fort Snelling, has been detailed to attend the encampment for the United States army. The governor will attend the encampment the greater part of the week. Company A of Bismarck left this afternoon for Devils Lake with about fifty enlisted men.

The officials of the Bismarck land office have been notified that two additional clerks will be supplied to assist with the rush of work at this point, which is now doing the largest business with one exception of any office in the state.—Mrs. E. E. Somling, wife of a well-known Bismarck merchant, died after two weeks' illness of pneumonia.—Mrs. E F. Allen entertained at cards for her sis­ters, Mrs. Loomis and Mrs. Norton of Mich­igan, who are visiting here.

DIED IN A BATHTUB D o u b l e T r a g e d y a t G r a n d F o r k s I s

U n e x p l a i n a b l e . GRAND FORKS. N, D.—While their son

and daughter and several young friends were singing and dancing in the parlor Saturday night, Charles J. McCormick, a Great North­ern conductor, and- his' wife, were dying in the bath tub on the fiame floor, where their bodies were found some hours later, by their son, who supposed they had gone to sleep.

Mr. -ui-l Mrs." McCormick had been out for a drive in the evening. They talked with many pewple and appeared to be In good health and spirits. While out they had pro­cured a jug of beer, and they called to the daughter to bring them some crackers to eat with li.

The party in the parlor made merry until a late ncur, and wuci. the guf-sts had left, Bilby, tflie son, ;ig*J V6, went to call his parents. He could Lut arouse them, and, be-comiiit; olnrtued, h--> cuMer. fo: r.elp. from one of t'.o fulfils, who !ind gene but a few steps. Both Mr. and K « . McCermiek were dead ^fceu rtbud. Their mule rcaieb were in the tub, their clothir-g lay scattered about the floor, ucd a partly ccr.siiiued jug of beer stood near by.

Mr. McCormick was one of the oldest and most valued conductors on the Great North­ern. He was known- as President Hill's favorite conductor, and wa3 selected when­ever possible to take charge of the president's private train.

There are wild rumors, that his wife was unreasonably jealous of him; that she was addicted to morphine, and that in a frenzy she may have poisoned first her husband and then herself. The indications are that death was by poisoning.

The coroner impaneled a jury, but beyonJ formalities little was done. The evidence showed that Mrs. McCormick must have got into the bathtub after her husband, and the coroner believes the husband died first. Mc­cormick's features were composed and his wife's face showed no traces of emotion. There was no evidence of a struggle or of anything unusual.

FIRST BIGAMY CASE S a m u e l P o w e l l o f H o u g h t o n C o u n t y

S o o n t o -Be ' P r o s e c u t e d . HOUGiHTON. MICH,—For the first time in

the history of':•'the. justice courts of-Hough­ton county a man has been brought to trial on a charge of bigamy. Samuel Powell has the distinction of being the first mnn to be tried on this charge., [ There, are several counts against him, one,'being that he ob­tained the marriage license for his last matrimonial venture In .a manner not in ac­cordance with the law. ''

He was arrested-at the instigation of wife No. 2, formerly Mrs. Charlotte • J. James, more remotely Mrs. Williams. Both persons to the suit live in Calumet. On April 15 Powell and Mrs. James; were wedded. Pow­ell, it is alleged, secured the marriage license in Ontonagon county, swearing he was a resident of Rockland. Should he be acquitted on the bigamy charge, he may be prosecuted for perjury. This is not the first time Powell and Mrs. James have been in court. Several months ago she had him ar­rested for slander. The case was tried be­fore Justice Curtln la Calumet. Powell was found guilty of having slandered Mrs. James by saying he had been unduly intimate with her. He was sent to the county jail. Not long after his release the pair were mar­ried, although the wedding was kept a secret and few knew of the marriage until the suit for bigamy was begun.

'Mrs. Powell No. 1 lives in 'Cornwall, Eng­land, and ia the mother, of one child. Shu has expressed a 'willingness to come to the United States in prosecuting her delinquent spouse. The first marriage occurred Jan. 11, 1890, and it is some years since Mrs. Powell No. 1 and her child have heard from or received assistance from Powell.

Fifty-second regiment have been: arrlylnjs in camp for two or three days, and to-day will see all the companies comprising the regi­ment established and in good shape to take up routine work to-morrow. This regiment camped at Council Bluffs last year and had a very large attendance. Colonel Humphries was unable to be present last year, owing to the lateness of the encampment, the regiment assembling In August. He therefore made application to have the encampment earlier this'..year.>so. it would be possible for him to attend. Practically the same work as" was taken up last year will be the program for this camp.

This regiment is composed of companies located in northwestern Iowa, as follows: Company A, located at Mason City; Company B, Perry; Company C, Webster City; Com­pany D, Hampton; Company E, Hull; Com­pany F, Algona; Company G. Fort Dodge; Company H, Sioux City; Company 1, Boone; Company K. Erametsburg; Company L, Sioux City; Company M, Sac City. There are many new officers, among the lin*> this year.

The camp will break on Monday, only eight days being allowed. A movement is on foot to secure permanent camping grounds, and,it is hoped that by next summer arrangements can be made to Becure such a location. Gen­eral Byers is greatly in favor of the per­manent military reservation.

Governor Cummins will be here on Thurs­day, July 10, to review the regiment. It will be his fir&t experience, but if he is as good a horseman as his predecessor, Governor Shaw, no fears need be entertained.

B U T T E . MOST. August Heinze returned from Helena last

night, where he bad given a series of public dinners, and confirms the report of an an­nouncement that he 'has left the republican party and united with the democrats.

A. Clark.

HOUGHTON, MICH. Will the •president visit the copper country

if invited? This is a question which has been put, not to the chief executive as yet, but by one person to another in the copper country.

STURGIS, S. p.—Ernest Loveswar has finally made a complete confession of the killing-of Puck andv dstrander at the Puck rancTi on White Owl, three weeks ago. He admitted his guilt in the presence of the sheriff and several-other wituoeees, and .said he committed the crime because Puck had refused to make him a $20 payment on a horse he had sold him.

He said he went to . the ranch the night before to get the money. -Puck told him he would not pay it, and asked him to stay all night, making down a cot for him. The three men went to bed, but Loveswar did not go to sleep. After the other two went to sleep Loveswar got up, secured Puck's re­volver, and holding It to one of the men and his own at the head of the other, fired, killing them both. He then remembered that men shot often recovered, and to-make sure, he struck the men with an ax several times, after which he took what money he could find and left the-ranch.

That Loveswar spoke the truth is known from the fact that the officers found the bloody ax and -r-svolver where the murderer said they were concealed.. Loveswar is 'about 21 years of age and half Indian, his parents residing on the reservation. Feeling is high against the prisoner, but the officers do not look for violence.

Stuntz, superin­tendent of Methodist missions in the Philip­pines. The address was one of the most eloquent and interesting of the series, so lor given. The patriotic concert in the after­noon, preceding General Howard's address, -was one of the best of 'the musical features of the program. The singing of patriotic songs by a large chorus, with the aid of the fifteen hundred people in the big tent, was something long to be remembered.
