j Judge Weber was holding court
at Seaforth last Monday, Bowers
Il Howard representing one side
and Somerville a. Olsen the other,

action to set aside a will made by
his son, in which the younger man
bequeathed all his property to his

over the testator. The case was
taken under advisement.
/ Between 30 and 40 residents Of
Sleepy Eye, mostly ladies, came up
from that place last Wednesday
morning. boarded the boats at the
dock and left for the park, where
they spent the remainder of the day.
returning home at FIVE O'Clock in
the evening. The pavilion was
gaily decorated in the national col
ors, in honor OF the visit, and all
present were delighted with their
visit and treatment. A light rain
fall during portion of the day mar
red the pleasure of the occasion to
a certain extent.
Up to last Thursday the filings of
candidates for the respective coun-
ty Offices, and the order in which
they have filed, was as follows:
Frank Clague for representative,
John F. Cain for commissioner in
the first district. j. w. Garlic for
commissioner in the third district,
Fred Radtke for commissioner in
the first district, Otto G. Goetze for
register of deeds, I. N. Tompkins
for auditor, Fred L. Warner for
clerk of the district court, B. c.. |
Schueller for sheriff, G. T. Howard |
for county attorney and DIR. T. J.
Bickford for coroner. These are
all for Republican nominations. S.
j. Race has since filed for superin-
tendent at schools, J. Albert John
son for county treasurer and D. L.
Bigham for surveyor. d. r. Nc
Corquodale of Delhi has yet to file
for the position of commissioner
from the Fifth district. He has
made an ideal legislative officer and

case there is any work done by the
democrats or other parties it will
probably be to get on the official
ballot by petition.
The W. T. M. S. of the Methodist
church met on Tuesday at the home
of Mrs. T. Parish for their monthly |
meeting. In the business session |
Mrs. Wallace had to communicate
the unpleasant tidings that this

the amount of $4,000 Unavoidable
OUTLAWS, partly for building pur-
poses caused this deficit, which |
must be raised by September. Mrs.
Frank Doran of Marshall had writ
ten expressing her regret at having
to appeal to the Redwood Falls sis
tiers, after the very liberal sums re-
ceived from them, but still hoping
they would do something to help in
this time of urgent need. Mrs.
Burmeister was appointed to re-

present made pledges, and the alb

offerings. Mrs. Gold read letter
she had received from Miss Rouse

account of her years work, which
has been far in excess of her

school children, 80 teachers and
