land M. MARSHALL, of Decatur City
Iowa. They each brought car Of
household goods and farming imple-
ments. -Four carloads of emigrant
goods were sent west on the freight
to Mt. Vernon this morning, having
come from Perry, Iowa.
Three more settlers arrived in the
city Thursday evening over the
Omaha road, bringing nine cars Of
emigrant goods. The party is COM
posed of d. S. Barrows, Bert Demp-
ster and Henry Marks and they hail
from Fenimore, Wis. They will
locate in the vicinity. Of Mitchell
and. are all good progressive farmers,
just the kind Of men needed for
South Dakota's advancement.
Three more settlers arrived in the
city Thursday evening to swell the
population Of Dawson county. They
are J. v. White and son and Chas-
Holshire, of Hubbard, Iowa. They
came in over the Omaha road and
had seven cars Of emigrant goods.
For the present the gentlemen have
rented farms in the vicinity of.
Mitchell and will till the soil.
They have, however, bought $50
acres between them and will devote
part of their time to raising stock,
having bought 125 head with them
from their Iowa farms. The new
settlers purchased their land through
the agency of the Germania Land
Co. Mr.. Mizener stated that the
firm also, sent a man to point near
Letcher, where he bought farm.
The Republican is glad to welcome
these men to the county and we
trust their hopes will be fully
realized in farming and stock rails
ing.
The above makes twelve new set
tiers who have located in Dawson
today, and is a pretty good record
for one day. AS many more have
arrived during the past week and
more are expected within the next
| two weeks.

NEEDS THE MONEY NOW.
Financial Assistance is Needed for
Completion of University's
New Building.

To Citizens of Mitchell and Davi-
son County:
For nine years have been in your
city. During these years the special
effort has been directed to building
up the Institution in attendance,
quality of work and rank among the
colleges of the state.
Success has been made along these
lines, but larger facilities are needed.
A new building is a necessity. You
are aware Of the effort we are making
for a new building A good Begin
ming has been made. The funds
must be secured through donations of
friends.
An effort has been made to raise
$40, 900 in Mitchell and Dawson coun-
ty. 1t has fallen to me to do all the
canyassing, practically, for the ten
thousand
Seven thousand has been secured in
subscriptions. This leaves $4,000 to
be raised. Unless this amount is Sc
cured at an early date the work on
the building will have to be indef-
nitely postponed. This amount ought
to be forthcoming at once. This is a
local interest for Mitchell and Davi-
son county and should receive liberal
support from all citizens. am sure
many intend to give but delay. AL
low me to say most earnestly that
this is the opportune time to push
this enterprise.
tell you what we need: Five
hundred earnest men and women to
help talk this matter, subscribe
themselves and urge others. A uni
yersity revival for the new building is
needed. Some, perhaps, are saying it
will be built anyhow. Let me say in
all candor: 1t, cannot be built with
out anything less than $4,000 cash
from Mitchell. The Investment will
aggregate more than $4,000. The
University is a permanent and grow.
ing enterprise. You have not hear6
much from me heretofore, but the
crisis is on and I must speak.

their time in the lodge room by So

preparations for the banquet were
concluded and the guests were invited
to the banquet hall. The grand
march was headed by Mr. and Mrs.
FL. p. Hitchcock and a long line fol-
lowed into the hall. A scene of
beauty greeted the vision of the Ma

reached from one end Of the long hall
to the other and it was resplendent
in its glittering cut glass, silyerware,
and numerous bouquets of flowers,

the guests, and all were served with
the splendid menu prepared by the
Star committee.

-
O'Clock the State Band headed the
procession to the residence of the de-
ceased. The line was composed of the
Sir Knights, Masons of Mitchell and
Alexandria, the Eatsern Star Chap
ter and the A. o. U. w. From the
house the procession moved to the
Presbyterian church where the SER
vices were held. Oh account of its be-
ing larger than the Methodist edifice.
The seats were reserved until the
various orders had been accommo-
dated and the citizens were then al
lowed to enter. An immense crowd
stood outside unable to gain admis-
sion.
The services at the church were
conducted by Rev. T. Fl. Youngman,
of this city, and was assisted by Rev.
DR.. Williams, also OF this city, and
pastor Of the Presbyterian church.
A male quartet furnished some excel
lent music. Mr.. Y Youngman deliv-
cred fine sermon and his tribute to
the character of the deceased was
most touching, at times being unable
to control his voice. He was an in
innate associate of Mr.. Taylor during
the past Is years and he spoke of the
lnnermost character of the man in a
way that was known to few others.
The splendid tribute that the pastor
paid to his old friend was one that
was endorsed by the Alexandria citi-
Zens.
Surrounding the casllet was placed
a large number of beautiful floral en-
blems sent from friends at home and
outside towns. The casket was
opened for the friends in the COM
munity to take their last look on the
features of the man so well known in
life. The following were the pail
bearers; VIM. Marble, John Thomp-
son, p. A. Zollman, V. X. Stillwell, !,
w. S. Hill and W. J. Murray.
The procession was formed at the
church in the same order and the
march was taken up to the cemetery,
three-quarters of a mile distant. At
the grave the Sir knights conducted
their impressive burial service and
the remains of L. g. Taylor were con-
signed to the tomb.

An Almanac Of 1918.

There is always more or less curios-
ity about the weather. though the kind
we've had the past few days has kept
most of us too busy to deal with muci,
more than the practical side of it. 1t
might be of some interest, however, to
those seated by warm fires fed from
full coal bins to learn what the weather
was 81 years ago. The Journal hasn't
just that information at hand but has
an almanac published in 1918. loaned
by Chas. F. Tibbetts, from which we
may learn what the weather prophet
predicted for the month of December
of that year. Hicks, you know, wasn't
alive then, but it is to be presumed
the habits of the grounding and the
complexion of the goose bones were as
closely observed as now. and most
of us still have more faith in grand
mothers sayings than we have in al

almanac were warned to expect
agreeable weather for the first of that

ON HAeEAs CORPUS WRIT.
Frank York, China, in Jail for Larceny,
Given Freedom.


On November Z. Frank York of
China, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Willis A. .Pinkham, on the charge of
larceny of groceries valued at $3.50
from the store of Worthing & Moody
in that town.. He was arraigned be-
fore Trial Justice Theron L. Doe, and
pleaded not guilty. The justice, how
ever, found him guilty and ordered him
to recognize in the sum of $500 to the
January term Of thc-supeiiOr court
for Kennebec county, Failing to Sc
cure the necessary suleties he was
committed.
After York had been in Jail 80 days
he employed Sheldon. & Sawtelle of
this city, who petitioned Judge Oliver
G. Hall of the superior court for d
writ of habeas corpus on two grounds:
First, that the trial justice having
jurisdiction in the case ought to have
imposed sentence instead of ordering
him to furnish sureties. there being
no appeal taken: second. there being
no criminal court in Kennebec county
no appeal lies to a court having no eX-
Stence.
A hearing was held, Wednesday, be-
fore Judge Hall. County Attorney
Leigh appeared in his official capacity
and agreed with Counsel Sheldon that
the petition was grounded.
Judge Hall granted the petition and
ordered the writ to issue forthwith
and the prisoner was ordered dis
charged by the court. He was ut once
liberated by Sheriff McFadden.
