An Ideal Meeting at Chester,
Special TO The Daily News.

Chester, ). c., Jul, 26 An
ideal meeung was bel hyr~ today.
Everybody was in good humor
and the opera house was filled, in
GLIDING hundred ladies. Chair
man k b. Caldwell presided. Al
the candidates were present except
Aver, Rouse and Prince. Berry
having withdrawn.
The speeches varied a little from
the usual. Prof. o. B. Martin
spoke with warmth about the re-
ports circulated by the lieuten
ants of his opponent. MIR. Nc
Mahan disclaimcd any RESPONSE
bility for the reports.
Cansler from Tirzah, had the
house IN an uproar with his Jokes
at the expense of his competitors.
Wilborn, reused to vehcmence by
the criticisms, spoke with FIRE.
Gary met with n good reception.
His declaration that if two thirds
of the people want prohibition
they ought to have it, was loudly
cheered. Col. Sloan made good
impression, and will get good
vote here.
AnseI, candidate for governor,
made telling speech and had
good number Of friends and made
more. Zimmerman was received
with applause. He is making tho
last race of his life. He believes
in read Improvement; state col
leges should he supported with
responsible appropriations; en-,
phasiZed the noble work of the
denominational colleges and their
great impC rtance to the country:
he lad great stress on the improve.
ment of the common schools.
Tillman says he is the logical
for Governor. His rec
ord as lieutenant governor entities
him to promotion, having the un-
animous endorsement of the SEN
ate. He referred to theGatfney in
saying that DeCamp did
not call him a liar but said that he
eouldprove him liar over his own
signature. 1t ill becomes the
Cuban American editor of The
State to accuse him of cowardice.
In 1890 he sent a cordial invita-
ton to that editor to meet him in
Georgia, which was politely des
clned. He believes free schol-
arship ia Clemson should be given
to each factory.
Col. Talbert followed in his
usual line. Hayward was greet
ed with loud and continued ap-
pIause. He made an effective
speech under the difficulty of be-
ing the last speaker. Hey ward
received the most applause and
TilIman next.

Senator Nc Laurin's refusal to
accept from the president an ap-
polntment to the vacancy on the
bench of the court of claims--a
life position with a good salary,
little work and much dignity
will raise him greatly in the opin-
ion of the peop'e. His acceptance
might have led TO the accusation
by his enemies that he had desert
ed his party for personal gain; the
the best refutation of such a
charge was to decline the prof,
fered honor, and this he has done.
The course pursued by Senator
McLaurIn has been a notable one.
A man of undoubted ability and
fearless independence, he has fol-
lowed line of policy in his voting
that was more thoroughly conserva,
tlveof the public interests than that
followed by any other member on
the Democratic side. What is bet
ter than all else, he has been an
American before he has been a
partisan. Baltimore American.

The Worst Form.

Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol,
the new discovery which is making so many
sick people well and weak people strong by
digesting what they eat, by cleansing and
sweetening the stomach and transforming
blood that makes you feel good all over
Mrs. Cranfill of Troy, 1. T., writes: For q
number of years was troubled with indiges-
ton and dyspepsia which grew into the worst
form. Finally was induced to use Kodol and
after using four bottles | am entirely cured.
| heartily recommend Kodol to all sufferers
from indigestion and dyspepsia. Take dose
after meals. 1t digests what you eat. Nick

Peter Nissen and Peter Knudsen
had collision one night last week at
the culvert south OF Elkhorn by Ras-
mus Hansen's farm. 1t was 80 dark
that they could not see but very lit
tie damage was done.
Hans Nielsen Kimballton's furni-
| ture man was out to Omaha some
time ago and attended the embalmer's
school there. He received card this
week informing him he had passed
the examination and will soon receive
his certificate from the school.
Ugh! Do you want to freeze? No.
Then buy fur coat that will fit you
and your pocket book.
HANS MADsEN.
The Cloak sale advertised by Hans
Madsen at his big double store in
Kimballton last Wednesday was an
entire success. The store had many
more visitors than had been antici-
pated and the sales counted up big
at night.
Peter Petersen and Peter Refs
gard of Extra drove out Sunday
through the mud and rain and spent
the day with friends. Reisgaard re-
manned during the week to interest
various parties in land up by Sioux
City but Petersen returned to Extra
Monday to his work in the black
smith shop in West Town.
R. P. Larsen, the genial harness
maker at Kimballton will have been
in business for himself one year the
fifteenth Of this month. During the
year he has had orders for and put
out forty eight set of handmade
harness, besides selling many new
shop made sets. This Isl far beyond
what he expected and he feels quite
we'll pleased.
There was meeting of the Kim
ballton Danish Lumber Co. last
week to invoice and check over the
first six months work of the yard.
They found the manager had done a
tremendous business and there is q
very satisfactory net balance. In fact
it has gone beyond the anticipation
of all the holders and in very salts
factory condition.
Quite number of young people
were at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe James last Sunday visiting and
rejoicing with them that their little
daughter was old enough to be
christened and baptized. Aud in this
solemn ceremony new obligation is
added to the parents to have her grow
up to wonlan's estate holding sacred
the things she is taught in the
church.
Outing Flannel has become ne !
cessity. You will want it for SO many
things and | have the best.
HANS MADsEN.
James & Hansen in Elkhorn have
found their trade increasing SO that
they have deemed it necessary to build
onto their store for more room. They
expect to extend the main building
on the west, and when completed
will have a room 60x2O in which to
store their goods and display them.
They will swing the shed now on the
west so that it will lean from the
south. They will have plenty Of room
and one of the best arranged stores in
the community when it is completed.

of Presidents is the Octagon House.
This picturesque old residence was
used by Madison as Executive Man
sion after the British lad burned the
White House. 1t was here that the
celebrated beauty Dolly Madison held
her court. In August, 1913, party
of invited guests wde sitting down
to a banquet in the state dining room
of the White House, when troop OF
British soldiers burst in and Get hre
to the building. The fire made small
Roadway, as a drizzling rain was fall-
ing, and soon went out. However, on
the next day, it was rekind!ed by the
British doing serious damage, so
much, in fact, as to make the mansion
uninhabitable. Tie Madisons fled.
The next year, 1914, they established
their household in the Octagon House,
and it became popularity known as the
Annex Executive Mansion" This old
residence is of queer shape, being
eight-sided as it's name suggests. IL
has a fascinating round room on the
second floor over the front door, which
Dolly Madison used as her boudoir
The dwelling has .hree stories and
basement, and was allowed to fall into
Der of years, until comparatively re-
Gently, when it was put IN perfect re-
pair. 1t is now used for offices, being
in a most convenient situation, at the
corner of New York avenue and
Eighteenth street only one block
away from the War, State and Navy
departments.
President Madison occupied the DC
tagon House until the close of his adj
ministration on March 4, 1917. Pres
ident Monroe also lived in this his
toric dwelling during the first yeaT OF
his term. At the end of that period
he moved back into the White House
which had been repaired and recon
structed and was again ready for hab-
itation. 1t had been coated with white
paint from roof to foundation, and
gets its name from that TACT.
The reason tie Octagon House re-
NAMED uninhabited for many years
was because it was reported to be
haunted Many ghosts were said to
walk recklessly through the rooms.
One of the sk)ries was that great ban

curdling way, having been put to death
by a cruel master. There was also

live in the dwelling for love or money

n Fcrnery.


To make a pretty table fernery
make a birch bark box six inches
wide, nine inches long-or round if
you prefer it-and three inches deep.
Paste cloth around the edges inside
to prevent bits of earth from finding
their way out. Plant in the box roots
of small ferns, filling the spaces with
green moss, or running pine" Sprin-
kle every day, and keep in a cool place
at night, and your table fernery will
keep fresh and green all summer.
Gather, during a walk through the
woods, an armful of ferns, selecting
perfect ones, lay smoothly between
newspapers, and put to press under a
trunk. These may so remain until
returning to the city.
Fill rose bowls half full OF sand, and
stick these preserved ferns in them,
placing them about your rooms, max
ing a woodsy spot all winter. If the
ferns become dusty wash gently and
return to place. The smallest ferns
may be used with fresh flowers for
table or bouquet for the dress.

Silk collar and cuffs preferably of
white taffeta) are innovations on little
boys suits, but are trifie too outre
to be generally popular. Besides, one
small boy would have their freshness
marred in one wearing.
Basket weaves in both wool and
cotton stuffs are very fashionable for
childrens clothes.
In summer top coats for boys, the
shapes are loose and rather long. The
MILDLY REFER of blue or red and the
tan covert box coat are the leading
favorites
Black and white have a monopoly
for leather belts for Russian blouse
suits for the diminutive man.
White is the color par excellence of
the season for girls wear, and white
gowns, white coats, white hats of
cloth, pique or silk. unrelieved by any
color, are the height of vogue.
Smart little mats for very young girls
to wear with a white pique suit or
coat are of white pique in a broad
sailor shape, with narrow, small
crown, and banded with black satin or
black velvet ribbon, with long ends at
the back.
The little cap, sans face frill with
a turned-Dack front, is the most ap-
proved of fashion for master or baby
this spring.
