MAN AT MINOT.
wj .•
Minot, N. D., Oct. 27.—Considerable
excitement prevails in the Magic City
today as the result of the issuance of
a warrant for the arrest of Dr. Thor
Moeller, a prominent Minot physician,
charging 'him with the crime of man­
slaughter in the first degree.
The warrant grows out of the ver­
dict ofa coroner's jury to tihe effect
that a certain- young lady, who died
at one of the local hotels a few weeks
ago had* come to iter death through
a criminal operation. While it ft
known that Dr. Moeller was attend-
lng the young lady, It is not known
what evidence is in the hands of the
states attorney to justify the issu­
ance of a warrant charging him with
the crime, 'but sensational develop­
ments are promised in connection
with the preliminary hearing which
will probably be held within the next
few' days.?*5!"

QUESTIONS FOR
BANK DIRECTORS
I ,•
Wasthngton, Oct. 27.—Controller
of the Currency Murray today issued
a list of twenty-inne questions to
be put. by examiners to each indivi­
dual director of national banks.
The questions are designed to
bring out the relations of the direc­
tors to the executive conduct of the
banks to the extent of their knowl
edge of paper held by the banks, in
the degree of latitude conceded by
them to bank Officers in overstepping
the provisions of the national bank­
ing law and the nature of their over­
sight of accounts and assets, of the
composition of the reserves, and of
the correctness of reports.

Six Reasons Why You Should

THINK THEM OVER.
of the cities and towns which line the
banks of. the picturesque Hudson,
from Greater New York to Troy, were
made thei text of the speeches of Taft
today to the people of these cities
and towns.
Because, If Mr. Bryan can accept money from a man whom he
called a "train robber" and allow that ipan to run his campaign in II-..•
11 no Is, what moral scruples would prevent him from keeping faith
with the discredited Haskell by appointing him secretary of the
treasury?
Because the orator of the Platte and author of the "Cross of
9°ld" is now the machine fed Bryan of Sullivan and Hopkins of
Illinois, Taggert of Indiana, Flngy Cornier# of Buffalo and Char
ley Murphy of Tammany Hall.
Because these principal backers of ,Mr. Bryan in the more Im
.portant states are almost without exception men whom he has
denounced, who are utterly at variance with his main political and
C» social theories, and who would, not turn a hand to aid him in
placing them in execution.
$ "Because It is the opinion of the business men whom Mr. Mack
attempted to blacklist, and others, that Mr. Bryan's election will
indlfinitely delay the restoration of good times, and will cause a
$ falling off of the earnings of salaried men and wage earners.
Because the man who is out of a job now will find It Impossi
ble to get a job under Mr. Bryan, and that the man who Is getting
half time now will not get full time under Mr. Bryan.
Because Mr. Bryan, with his kaleidoscopic views, will not be
able to procure legislation from a hostile congress and will there
fore have recourse .to .renewed vituperation and condemnation
to the additional detriment of all business.
Yonkers smiled on the Ohioah

spoke to Yonkers yesterday, and Taft
said he understood his opponent had
charged that the Republican party
had done nothing for labor.. Mr. Taft
first asserted that the policies of the
Republican party had been chiefly de­
voted to the Interests of labor and
then pointed out that the protective
policy made possible the sugar refin­
ing industry, the chief enterprise of
the city.

"He surely wears the smile that

"It will still be there next Tues­

hope the audience seemed to concur.
Here the Republican candidate re­

affair, but notwithstanding this fact
the commercial hall was filled with
people who were anxious to hear
and listened attentively to the ad­

words will be remembered in Novem­

GOV. MILLER HAS
PASSED BEYOND
First Governor of North Da­
kota Dies After Short
Was One of Most Popalar
Executives State Has
EverKaowo
Duluth, Minn., Oct. 27.—Former
Governor John Miller of North Da
kota, died shortly after 8 o'clock Monv/,
day morning at his home, 429 East"
Second street, of heart failure. He
has been confined to his home for
about three weeks and his death was!
not unexpected, although it came
quite suddenly.
Mr. Miller was one of Duluth's fore­
most citizens. He was a member of
the board of trade and always took a
public Interest and was active in
many charitable philanthropic cocl
ties.
Mr. Miller was born at Dryden, N.
Y., Oct 29, 1843, and was educated
in the country schools and at the
Dryden academy. He passed, his boy­
hood on the farm of his parents near
Dryden and then entered the mer-.
chandise business, remaining there
until 1880. He then moved to Dako­
ta, which was a territory at that time,
and became interested in wheat grow­
ing on a. large scale. He was slse
engaged in quite an extensive real
estate ^business. He was elected to
the Dakota territorial council in 188*
and in 1889 was elected the first gov­
ernor of the state of North Dakota
He refused a re-election.
While Mr. Miller was governor the
Louisiana lottery tried to gain a foot­
hold in Dakota, but he opposed it
successfully. In 1896 Mr. Miller mov­
ed to Duluth and has lived there since
that time, -being engaged in the grain
commission business.
He was president of the John Mil­
ler Grain company at the time of his
death. M^r. Miller leaves a wife and
one daughter, 16 years of age. His
niece, Mrs. R. N. Chaffee, also lives
in tlhis city.
During the time he had lived in Do
luth Mr. Miller has earned the admi­
ration and respect of all with whom
he icame in contact. He was looked
upon both by his business associates
and Duluth citizens in general as one
of the city's most public-spirited, phil­
anthropic med.
He was chairman of the board of
directors of the Young Men's Chris­
tian association and was largely re­
sponsible for the movement to erect
the magnificent new 'building in Du­
luth.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
A telegram was received at the
governor's office Tuesday morning
announcing t:e death of John Mil­
ler, the first governor of the state
of North Dakota. It is likely that
a proclamation will be issued, that
the flag be displayed at half mast
on all public buildings on the day
of his funeral.
The nomination and election of
John Miller in 1890, changed the
entire political history of the states
At the first state convention of Re­
publicans in North Dakota at Fargo,
the Miller men nominated M. N.
Johnson for chairman against E. A.
Williams, the candidate of the Har­
rison Allen men. Johnson won by
one vote. On the Cass county dele­
gation which Allen had named, one
E. H. Holte, still a prominent
Johnson supporter, voted for Hon.
M. N. Johnson, now candidate for
United States senator, and this set­
tled the governorship, defeating Gen.
Allen, and changed the political
trend of state politics. Miller was
elected and gave the state an ex­
cellent administration. He had the
respect and gdod will of all who
had relations with him as governor.
His death will be regretted by many
of the old timers who knew him.
Miller is the second state governor
to pass the great divide, Frank
Brlggs being the other, who did
not complete his official term.
Fargo college has started with
what will probably be the most pros­
perous year in the history of that
institution. The enrollment of stu­
dents in the literary and scientific
departments show a gain of 12 per
cent over the same date last year.
