A New and Needed lmprOvem ent.
The popularity of our beau
tifui fair grounds, suggests tn
propriety of the city expanding
a small amount of money in
a nice fountain. Such an i'm
provement would not require a
very large outlay of money, and
would add materially to the
beauty and convenience of the
grounds. We have been told
that the ladies of some of the
Womens Clubs, and perhaps all
of them, have expressed a will
ingness, in fact a desire, to as
sist by a donation, in making
such desired improvement by
the city, and if so, why not, at
once, proceed with the work?
If this idea is accepted, it
would be a good idea to accept
the offer of womens clubs, and
give the members a voice'.in the
building Of the fountain, by ap-
pointing them on the commit
tee to determine the size, cost,
plan, and all such matters as
may be Necessary in making the
improvement, calling it the La
dies Fountain, or such name as
they may select. If this mat
ter is taken upby the City Coun-
Gil, and properly pushed, we
have no doubt the work can be
completed by the time of the
meeting of the County Fair this
fall. This work can be done at
a very small outlay by the city,
and will be a lasting monument
of the public spirit of the City
Council who build this grand
improvement that will be, not
only for the city, but for the
people of the entire county.
What say you, gentlemen?

for Colfax, Ia. where he has
gone to regain his health, after
which he expects to visit his
brother in Burlington, Ia, be-

past six years and has made
many warm friends during his

GRCCERS and BUTCHERS
Hold Their Annual Picnic
at Missouri Valley

Hold Their ANNUAL Picnic
at Missouri Valley
The Omaha Retail Grocers'
and Butchers association held
its tenth annual picric at Mis-
souri, Valley, Thursday, and
proved again that it can pick a
day on which it will not rain.
The day was beautiful and the
three special trains that left
the union station over the
Northwestern road, under the
personal supervision of of Gen.
West, carried about 1900 pic
nickers, with bands of music,
and went and returned without
a single hitch or jar.
The members of this associa-
ton with their families and
friends made a pretty appear
ance as they poured into the
beautiful Valley park, where
they spent the day in the enjoy
ment of music, feasting, dane
ing and seeing games and
sports galore.
There was fat mans race.
1t is said that large bodies
move slowly, but these fat fell
lows came down the line at a
quick clip, and j. G. Miller won
the prize. There was a craning
of necks when the young wom-
en- came to the scratch to run
their race. A tall and hand
some young woman. dressed in
a pea green suit, cody took off
her "picture hat" gathered her
skirts in one hand, carried a
handbag in the other, and then
easily won the race. Her name
is Blanche Miller.
The married women's race
|proved to be a good one, too.
Mrs. Susie Lewis won it.
Some fine horses came on the
track for their inning. One of
them, a beautiful sorrel, was so
full of fire and eagerness that
it required several men to hold
him before the start. But Sun
Dance, who made no unneces-
sary moves, easily beat him.
p. Cassidy won the garden
er's race, after a hard run, and
handsome C. Gibson, in the city
statesmen race, had a lot of good
runners to compete with, but
he put up the right kind of ar
ticle and won in a hot finish.
The Missouri Valleys failed
to meet the Omahas on the ball
field, so the grocers' clerks
were defeated in a good game
by the commission mems club
in a score of 5 to 2.
Rhythmic music floated out
from the dancing pavilion and
|drew to the scene all the obser-
vers there was possibly room
for, to see the prize waltz, and,
after a long and careful con-
test, Miss Emma Stanley was
announced to be the best lady
dancer, and Robert Trumble to
be the finest dancer among the
men.
From sweet music and beau
tiful women to killing beeves is
q long jump, but the beef kill
ing contest was a unique one
and full of interest. Gus Card
ner and Frank Noonan were
the contestants; and, while the
first named was dressing his
steer, the black one intended
\ for Mr.. Noonan got away and
was chased into Missouri Valley
} by several hundred men, but it
was captured and brought back
in time for it's stunt. In the
meantime Gardner dressed his
beef in five minutes and fifty
three seconds. Noonan did his
job in five minutes and thirty
two seconds, but lost on points,
as the other man did the clean
est and best work.

SECOND INJUNCTION SERVED

SECOND INJUNCTION SERVED
Joint Beard Of Harrison and No
mona County Dlsresards
Courts Order
Relieved of one injunction
less than a week ago, the sup
ervisors' boards of Harrison and
Monona counties had their
hands again tied yesterday by
the serving of papers in a second
proceeding of the same kind,
secured by attorneys for Flor
ence M. Wood, a property owner
in the drainage district. The
injunction was issued by Judge
Scott, of the superior court here
who acted in the absence of
Judge Wheeler from the coun-
ty. 1t restraints them from
taking steps to construct the
point bitches until some furth-
err order of the court is made.
Mrs. Wood owns 76O acres of
land in Monona county and sues
as an interested taxpayer. The
first injunction was issued at
the request of w. A. Smith &
Co., unsuccessful bidders for
the work of digging the ditch,
but Judge Wheeler dissolved it
upon a hearing. Smith & Co.
claimed that it's bid was much
lower than the one made by
three firms which received the
contract. Judge Wheeler held,
however, that none but an in
terested taxpayer could COM
PLAN of the boards action.
This caused the later suit to be
brought in Mrs. Woods name.
CHARGES SECRECY.
The bidders who secured the
contract are the Canal Construc-
tion Co, of Chicago, the Ferriss.
Kissell Co., of Idaho, and F. M
Crane. The total estimate OF
the work under their contracts
is 1898, 124. 80, while the bid of
w. A. Smith & Co., was $751;
1913. 16, or $26,631.18 lower
The petition of Mrs. Wood
charges that the bids were con-
sidered in secret and that sue
cessful contractors permitted
to be present at the meeting of
the supervisors and also to
change and modify their bids.
The question of notice also
enters into the suit, the plant
itf claiming that neither her
self nor her tenant, Peter w.
Baker, who was in charge of
the land, were served with any
papers before the boards estab.
lished the ditch system.
BOARDS DISREGARD INJUNCTION
In partial disregard of the in.
junction issued by Judge Scott,
the boards of supervisors OF
Monona and Harrison counties
met yesterday at Onawa and
named appraisers to asses ben
efits under the proposed ditch
system. C. w. Hunt, of Harri-
son county, who was one of the
appraisers for the Harrison-P Pot.
tawattamie county bitches, and
H. L. Wingate, of Monona coun
ty, were appointed for this
work. C. L. Huff, of Harrison
county was selected as engin-
Ger to act with them.
The signing up Of contracts
was deferred at the request of
the successful bidders. NJ
other proceedings were had and
the joint board adjourned t.
meet again on July 20, at Ona,

MCDONALD IS SHERIFF.

Judge j. B. Leslie Monday decided
the Chouteau county election contest
of John Buckley against Frank Nc
Donald, finding in favor Of the latter.
The Judge holds that the plaintiff
failed to prove ineligibility OH the part
of Mcdonald to succeed to the office
of sheriff. Sheriff Buckley and Nc
Donald were opposing candidates at
the recent general election. Melon
aid won over his Democratic competi-
tor by a majority of about 300, and
the canyassing board issued him a
certificate of election.
Buckley instituted a contest, alleg-
ing in his complaint that Mcdonald
was not eligible to hold the office,
because he (McDonald) was not a
citizen Of United States. 1t was
claimed that Mcdonald was born on
Prince Edward Island. under the
British flag, and had never taken out
final naturalization papers in Uncle
Sans domain, but had taken out
first papers. While the preponderance
of evidence went to establish the allie
cation of birth on the island the tes-
timOny at the hearing before Judge
Leslie in Fort Benton, a few days ago,
showed that McDonald's father had,
prior to the birth of the contestee,
and until the death of the elder Nc
Donald, lived in Boston, and was for
many years a captain of the United
States merchant marine service.
"The evidence does not disclose
whether the father ever resided else
where than at Boston, says Judge
Leslie in his decision, "and the legal
presumption would be that Boston
was always his home, in the absence
of proof to the contrary"
Continuing, Judge Leslie holds that,
''if the undisputed fact of the resi-
dence of the father at Boston war
rants the presumption Of his citizen
ship, it follows that the wife of the
said citizen, and mother of defendant
(McDonald, the contestee) is also a
citizen'
Judge Leslie cites several author
tiles in support of his decision, all to
the point and pertinent to the issues
raised. He mailed the order to the
clerk of the district court of Chouteau
county, and Mcdonald will assume
the duties of sheriff at once
! Attorneys interested in the case
were T. E. Brady and W. S. Towner,
for the contestant, Buckley, and Geo.
FL. Stanton and c. n. Pray for Nc
Donald.
