GOVERNOR ELROD
Announces His Candidacy for
Reelection.

Governor Samuel H. Elrod is
always straightforward in his
public and private utterances,
andin the following letter announ.
ces his candidacy for renomina-
ton:
"Again l ask your support in the
coming campaign. l have tried to
conduct the affairs of the high office
OF governor of this hust-
ling young state in a businesslike
manner, and for the best interests Of
all our people regardless of party
ties 1t is fact that the affairs of
the state are in most excellent condi-
tion. Every department is being
faithfully and economically adminis-
tered. The last session of the legisla-
ture was the most conservative vet
held in its history. Appropriations
were kept down and many measures of
Importance were enacted into laws.
''There are those who find fault
with the caucus law. 1t certainly has
some merit, or it would not have been
passed by a vote of 12l out of 1873
votes cast. 1t is entitled to fair
| trial.
''The assessed valuation of corpor-
alton property was increased in 1905
by over S625, 900, and farm lands were
lowered from assessors returns on an
average over the entire state of IA
cents per acre.
81 am a lifelong republican and
have-taken part in every campaign in
Clark county beginning in 1882. In
! 1880 | was a Garfield republican. 1t
was my first vote. In 1884 a Blaine
| republican: in 1888 and in 1892 Har-
rison republican; in 1896 and in 1900
| Mckinley republican,: in 1904 Roose-
velt republican. and I have been a
Roosevelt republican every day since
William Mckinley died, and stand
squarely with President Roosevelt on
! every issue before the people, includ-
! ing the railroad rate question, and it
! is not necessary for me to belong to a
| league to show this. The question is,
are we republicans?
"The republicans have been very
kind to me, and it has been my earn
est endeavor to honestly and faithful
ly represent them.
"Thus far in the history of our
state each governor, regardless of
what party he belonged to, has been
renominated and reelected. I ask
your support for denomination and
for reelection, promising you that
will be faithful to the end.
S. H ELRoD."

one of Grant County's prosperous farmers.
A. S. Bamberger living about
eight miles south of Summit,
was Milbank visitor last Fri
day. Mr.. Bamberger with his
brother, F. r. Bamberger, are
proprietors of a hundred
acre farm, now one of the best
in this part of the state-not that
nature has made it that way-but
the hand of man. They came
to this county from Chicago some
twelve years ago, taking tree
claim. Neither had worked on
a farm a day in their liyes, but
they were equal to the
emergency and tackled the pro-
position. AS Mr.. Bamberger
tells it "We started to blowing,
one driving and the other hold
ing the plow. The neighbors
told us we would last quick at
that gait. After we had got a
fair start we began to make a
study Of the work. Asked lots
of ques tions. Took the leading
farm papers, read and reread
them, and when we found some
thing that looked feasible instead
of doing it as published we
changed it to meet the demands
of farming in this part of the
country. In this way we kept
on and in little time became
familiar with the soil, very es-
sential and impor tant point that
every farmer should take into
consideration if he would make
success of farming. We are
great believers in crop rotation,
and practice it. We are going
into diversified farming as fast
as possible. We are raising con-
siderable stock, and have at pres
ent time one of the finest herds
of registered Poland China hogs
to be found in the state. The
herd is headed by "Mazeppa [
Know No. 4O294." AS with the
cattle we always select the
foundation stock for Individual
merit. The best that money can
buy is none too good. We do
business strictly on honor. That
is and always has been our motto.
Any one can repeat the same
thing we have done on that billy
piece of land south of Sum nit. -
There is a lot in the above inter-
view that others can profit from.
1t is only one of the many cases
where some one has come from
the cities and taken piece of
land and by sticking closely to
business made a success in
| farming.

Journal, Feb. ..
Rev. Charles Cullen Smith, the
Evangelist, will open series of meet
ings in DR.. Shetland 3 church at Nor
ris next week.
The Department of Public Instruc-
ton has appointed foue weeks sum-
mer school for Big Stone county to
begin at Simpson Park on Monday,
July 3. The following instructors
have been assigned to the school:
Supt. F. N. Williams of Madison,
conductor; Miss Susan Holman of
New Ulm and Miss Mary O'Laughlin,
of Minneapolis, instructors.
After a shut down of more than six
weeks the Consolidated Granite Cos
shops resumed work Wednesday
morning. The stone cutters union
and the company compromised their
differences last Monday and the works
began operations again as union
shop. The citizens of OrtOnville are
pie eased that the strike was amicably
settled aud that the shops and quarry
will likely continue with full COM
plement of men. The Commercial
Club, at a special meeting held la st
Friday appointed acommittee consist
ing of A. B. Kaercher, r. w. Green
and Martin Schoen to meet the repre-
sentatives of the stone cutters union
and the granite company and arrange
If possible a settlement. A meeting
was arranged and as result the
strike was called off and work resum-
ed.
A lawsuitrecently tried in the muni-
cipal court brought to light the
smooth swindle of number of farm.
ers in this country. 1t seems that a
stranger called on the farmers last
September claiming to have sure
cure for lumpy jaw on cattle and de-
sired to leave a sample package TAX
ing receipt for same and making
the aforesaid farmer the agent for the
company's patent medicines. Later
the farmer received a consignment OF
goods from the firm which was fol-
lowed in a few days by bill for S148.
The trial brought out the fact that the
farmer had signed cleverly written
note in addition to an order for a
large amount of useless medicines in
cluding barb wire liniment, heave
cure, condition powders, egg produc-
ers, worm extermin atOrs, calf dehOrn-
er and SPAWN cure. The order or
note was of course sold or transferred
to another party and Judgment was
entered against the farmer for about
417O.

feet deep. Mr.. Kienholtz was on his
boat near by and ran into the water
about tho Same time, but quickly got

help pull out the little fellows. All

without much trouble but he was not
to be seen.
Suddenly his cap appeared and dis

him and got him. It was quick and
nervy work that ayerted q catas-
trophe. The boys were all right the
next day.

The verdict was not entirely unex- pected though 1t was generally believed that Weller would DC found guilty of manslaughter with a recommendation of mercy. That belief was based largely on a request made by the jury yester- day for instructions as to the punish ment attached to the various degrees of homicide. Such instructions were naturally not given but the inquiry seemed to offer a line on the standing of the jury.
 Yesterday morning after the jury had been out all night the court was informed that a verdict could not be reached. Judge Kent ordered another attempt to find one and the jury re- stunned it's labors. Nothing having de- veloped in the course of the day the judge informed the jury that he would be ready at half past seven o'clock last night to hear verdict. It was later understood that he would receive a verdict as late as half past ten and it was then understood that If none was forthcoming at that time the jury might count upon at least one more weary night.
 IL was reported at one time yesterday that the jury stood ten to two. but on what proposition could not be learned. but last night one of the jurymen dis closed q changing about of opinion that almost beats the record. He said that on the first ballot there were eight votes for conviction and four for ac- quittal. The various ballots lowered about those figures until yesterday evening at dinner time eleven voted for conviction and' one for acquittal. In three hours the eleven were won over.
 But for the fact of the great holes in the back of the clothing worn by Will Hams. Weller would not have had a serious time in his trial. If the shots had been in front. the case would probably never have reached the grand jury; if there had been one hole in the back there would have been no possi- bil'ty of conviction but two such wounds either of which would have been disabling if not fatal. the jury could not easily get over.
 But against this was the character of Williams as a dangerous and violent man; the terror in which the defendant had lived of him for more than ten years and then the fact that while he was trying to get away Williams had pursued him with the purpose of mak- ing an attack upon him.

WELLER FREE
 NOT GUILTY
The Verdict Returned at Eleven O'Clock Last Night
There Had Been a Record Breaking Punctuation In the Jury Room.

Elton F.. Weller the slayer of Charles B. Williams on the morning of June 2 of this year was acquitted last night Of any crime in connection with that tragedy. At ten o'clock the jury which had had the case under consideration for thirty-one hours sent word that 1t had agreed upon a verdict. Judge Kent was informed at the Harvard club dinner and replied that he would re- ceive the verdict at eleven o'clock.
 A small crowd had gathered in the court room. The Judge entered and shortly after. the defendant was brought in. He looked about him ner- vously. He peered back into the dimly lighted court room to see if any of his friends were there.
 He gazed anxiously at the faces of the jurymen as they filed in but they told him nothing. When tue jury had been boiled and the foreman was asked if verdict had been agreed upon he replied in a tone so low that it seemed ominous to the defendant.
 When the verdict was read the pris- oner started at the words, mot guilty" and turned to his attorney as If for confirmation of the glad news. It was few minutes later that the look of anxiety which had seemed to have been put on his face not to come off passed away.
 Then came the formal order for his discharge and the adjournment As sistant District Attorney Bullard shook the hand of the late defendant who stationed himself at the entrance of the jury box and heartily thanked each member for the freedom which had been bestowed upon him.
