WILL CONTEST ELECTION
X. G. Foster Will Contest Election
in Douglas County on Mis-
take in the Count.

At the recent election X. G. Eos
ter, who is we'll known in Mitchell,
was defeated in Douglas county by
A. d. Mather for state representa-
tive by n vote, although it was
first announced that Mr.. Foster was
elected by that small a humber. He
has decided to contest tie election of
MIR. Mather, the democrat, on the
ground that a mistake was made in
counting the ballots by the judges
of election. j. L.. Hannett went to
Armour this morning as the attorney
for MI. Mather, ard the work done
now will be in the nature of prepara-
tlon Tor taxing the case before the
legislature.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1904-12-02

Mitchell has % the championship
of the state by reason of the fact
that she has not lost a game this
season and has defeated three good
teams. She defeated Yankton IL
to o, played a tie game with Ver-
million and showed superior play
over the state university as acknow-
lodged by the writer in Volante, and
defeated I5rookings twice, the first 6
TO 5, and the second 10 to O.
Coach Markle is entitled to high
praise for the splendid manner in
which the team has acquitted itself
throughout the season.. The coach
is u of the best men that has ever
had charge TO the University football
squad and he has developed some
mighty good men out of raw mat
erlal. Under him the boys have
shown a fine disposition to become
highly proficient IN the game. Coach
Markle has been resourceful in de-
velopins the team in many new
plays and they have worked out
his ideas to a nicely.
Manager Rempfer has looked out
for the business end of the team and
this, TOO. has been successful. He
has met the financial obligations with
promptness and there will be no de-
fcits TO met at the close of TIL season.

GLEASON IS COMING.
Will Give Exhibitions at Auditorium
All Next Week.

Prof o. r. Gleason, the famous
horse tanner, who drew such enormous
crowds last summer at the fair
grounds, was engaged by the enter
Commercial club on Monday after
noon to give exhibitions at the Audi
torium every night or next week and
a Saturday matinee for the benefit of
MarshalPs band. Prof. Gleason agreed
to divide the net proceeds equally and
do all of the outside or billboard ad
vertiSing.
Arran gements will be made to have
the show. Major Anderson is con-
ferring with John Marshall today in
regard to that matter.
The committee on public buildings
of the city council agreed readily to
let the hall to the entertainment COM
mittee. 1t was feared that objections
might be made to the use of the pit
for the training of rractiouS horses,
but ample guarantee was made for
any damage which might occur. A
heavy board floor will be laid over the
present one, and on top of this a
double layer of sawdust and sand,
firmly packed, will be placed.
An admission price of 25 cents will
be charged. Secretary Anderson fig
ures that 1000 people can be seated
at good vantage points at every per-
Torrance. No seat reservations will
be made.
The exhibitions will be extensively
advertised and herculean efforts will
be made to fill the hall to its capacity
every night. The committee believes
that it has found a good way to raise
the much needed money to keep
MarshalIs band intact, and for that
reason urges everybody in the city to
make it a personal matter to buy
tickets. Those in charge say that an
equal division of the gate receipts is
an exceptionally fine proposition.
Gleason proved to be a great draw
f.,a~ at felf 4 11=
mer, though he was severely handi-
capped by streak of Indictment
weather. That feature will be entirely
eliminated at the Auditorium.

Albert Lloyd, the man found in the
alley back of 406 Kansas avenue Sun
day night was taken to Stormost hos
pital this morning. He had recovered
consciousness, but still acted queerly.

now that the slight wound found on
Lloyds head did not cause his uncon-
seriousness, and that he was drugged
before he was thrown or fell down the
stairway 1t is stated by Dick john

place earlier in the evening, and had
a wad- of money, about $500. When
he was searched at the police station
a single $40 bill was found in his
pockets.
Lloyd has not said much to the po-
lice, and does not seem to remember
what happened to him, but says that
he had four $50 bills when he went
upstairs at 4O6. He does not know
or at least will not tell, how he hap
pened to hurry down the back stair

Instrument.

The new pipe organ just erected in
the First Lutheran church was dedicat-
ed on Monday evening by one of the
best musical programme ever given in
the city.

ment he has performed on, which cost
three times as much. The price was
$1,05O, and the makers are the Pfeffer
Organ rompany of st. Louis.
The keyboard is in an alcove on the
north side of the organ. This was ar
ranged so as not to take up space on
the pulpit rostrum. The organ has two
manuals, ten registers, 16 foot pedal
pipes, 45 display pipes, and 500 pipes
in all. The case is of Gothic style
measuring 16 by % feet. The organ is
operated by an electric motor

THE CONVENTION "
Grandma Found 1t Convenient.

Tt is remarkable what a change can
be made in a family by a simple re
arrangement of food.
A Chicago mother says: Much to
my surprise yesterday morning 1
found the enclosed letter on my desk
written by my seven year old daugh
ter without any suggestion from
soul, and the little letter induced me
to write something of our experiences.
First my son who was very small
and weak was sent out to visit one of
my sisters, and she induced him to
start in on Grape-Nuts and cream in
place of the ordinary food used.
When the boy came back after an
absence of about six months we could
hardly believe our eyes. He had grown
over three inches in height and was
an entirely different fellow in every
way, always ready for any athletic
sport proposed and on the keen go all
the time, while before he only wanted
to sit or lie down, and suffered greatly
from headaches and general prostra-
ton.
So we put our little girl on Grape
Nuts and she grew well and healthy
and rosy in a short time.
Then Mother, who is 50 years old
began using Grape-Nuts and would
frequently put the food into soup or
with an egg into a bowl and pour
broth over it.
She had formerly been troubled
with her stomach, suffering great pain
at l1neSs now she says the invention
has cured her and she uses Grape
Nuts in a variety of ways=puddings.
