Of our fellow citizens, neighbors and
our friends; he joined with dyna-
miters in 1900, whose known rule
of warfare is an undistinguished
destruction of all ages, sexes and
conditions, this he did to over
throw the democratic leader, Frank
Steunenberg and secure for himself
seat in the United States Senate.

1HE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Republican County convention Is
conceded by all, Democrats
as we'll as Republicans, to be one
Of the strongest ever nominated by
any party in this county. There
is not weak candidate on the
ticket and the voters of Elmore
county will see to it that everyone
on the ticket is elected.
The legislative ticket is espe.
cially strong:
H. o. MANI
the nominee for Senator needs no
introduction to the people of Ell
more county. Connected with diff.
ferent enterprises for the building
up of this country and as one of
the members of the Idaho Com
mercial Co., he has won a host of
friends by his affable and genial
manner, while his ability and fit
ness for the place is conceded by
everybody.
VIM. M. PICKRELL
the nominee for Representative is
one of our new citizens from North
Dakota and his nomination is a
proper recognition of that large
and valuable addition to our pop.
ulation; the man himself is one of
the most highly respected of that
large number of exceptionally re.
spectacle people, a man of educa.
ton, ability and strictest integrity,
a carpenter by trade. He lived in
Mountainhome long enough to
know the needs of the southern end
of the county and for the past
year has worked in the Atlanta
mines, so is well acquainted with
the needs OF the North as well, and
with Manz and Pickrell in the leg
islature the interests of Elmore
county will be looked after. Be-
sides vote for these two men is
vote for the matchless Borah and
against Duboisism. Nobody ques-
tions that the next legislature will
be Republican and if we send
Democratic representative they
will be in the minority and can
have no influence for us, while
Republican representative would
give us standing whereby ohr
wants would be recognized.
SAMUEL OLIVER
the nominee for Clerk OF the Dis
trlct Court and Auditor and Re.
corder is eminently qualified for
the position. He lived in Fre-
mont county about six years, came
from there to Glenn's Ferry about
four years ago to fill the position
of book-keeper for one OF the prin-
cipal stores there and is now post
master for that town. From boy
hood he has been employed as a
book, keeper and in the mercantile
business which eminently fits him
for that important Office; genial,
accommodating, and perfectly hon.
orable in all his dealings, he will
make one of the best Clerks we
have ever had. So thoroughly do
the opposition realize his strength
that they have already begun to
circulate campaign lies about him
in their desperation to capture
this important office.
J. X. WINTER
the NOMINEE for Sheriff has grown
up from boyhood in this state, and
has lived in Elmore county for
the last 12 years, and has worked
at mining ever since he was 16
years old. AS deputy sheriff he
has proven himself one Of the
best, most fearless and capable
officers Elmore county ever had
and we believe that service has
been approved by the people, and

that they Will testify to this tact
by casting a vote for honest, gen.
ial, capable Joe Winter.
H. HURLBERT
of Glenn's Ferry will make an
ideal Assessor. He has lived in
the county for many years and
has the fullest confidence of every
person who knows him, is well ac-
quainted with the property and
property values of the county and
man who everybody knows will
assess the property of the county
fairly without prejudice or favor
itism.
WILL C. sTIMsON
for Probate Judge needs no intro
duction to the people of Elmore
county. His eminent fitness for
that position is known to every.
body. 1t is universally conceded
that he has proven to be the best
Probate Judge we have ever had
and the voters are going to say,
"let well enough alone" and will
see to it that Judge Stimson sue
ceeds himself.
HOGAN GAINES
the nominee for County Attorney
is a graduate of the Indianapolis
College of Law, with the degree of
Bachelor of Laws, has been in the
law practice about 16 years, and
has already gained considerable
practice since coming to Mountain
home in which he has shown him
self to be an able attorney, and the
county's business will be we'll at
tended to in his hands.
ROSCOE w SMITH
nominee for Treasurer is one of the
best known men in the county,
having been in business here for
the past seventeen years and be-
ing connected with nearly every
enterprise calculated to build up
the country, his broad mindedness
and public spirit has made him a
universal favorite. He is the able
president of the Mountainhome
Commercial club and as such has
done invaluable service for this
town. He is the present county
treasurer and by his efficiency and
painstaking saved the county
$1050 on one item alone, nearly
enough to pay his salary for the
two years. He distributed the
county's money he has to hold i'm
partially among all the banks of
the county and the Herald we'll
saws che is a hard man to beat"
and his election is concededby dem
Gratis.
MISS LIZZIE L. KEENER
the Republican nominee for county
Superintendent of Schools holds a
diploma from the A. G. college of
GAINESVILLE, New York; she has
also taken teachers courses in the
Peabody Normal college of Nash
vile, Tennessee, and Dicks Nor
NAL college at Denver, Colorado;
and has taken Summer Normal
courses at Little Rock, Arkansas,
and in the University of Utah.
She was vice-president two years
of the Territorial Educational AS
sociation of the Indian Territory,

tors OF the South and East. She
has also taught several terms in
Idaho, as principal of schools at
Dubois and Clayton and as

Miss Keener will not be able to
canvass the county, owing to the
fact that her services are needed in
her drug store at Mountainhome,

engineer for the town of Nampa
for three terms which position he
resigned to take charge of the en-
gineering work for J. H. Garrett
on his enterprises in and about
Mountainhome which position he
has held for the past two years, so
is qualified for the Office. He is
gentlem anly and courteous in his
conduct and wins the friendship
and confidence of all with whom
he has any dealings.
! Never before has Elmore county
been given SO strong Commits
sioner ticket. All three men are
old settlers in the county and per-
fectly familiar with the county e
needs. All three are heavy tax
payers, SO will look carefully after
the county's finances. All three
have been eminently successful in
conducting their own business and
will be equally successful in con.
Quoting the county's business.
J. b. sTANFIELD
of Mountainhome for the first dis
trict has lived in Idaho l9 years
and in Elmore county 16 years.
He was in the sheep business in
Oregon and Idaho 20 years and in
the cattle business in Elmore
county the past eight years. He
served one term as county Com
missioner of this county and SC
ably that with an opposition ma
jority of almost two hundred to
overcome he lacked but eight votes
of being reelected
G. e. CoRKER
of Glenn's Ferry for the End. dis
trict has lived here since long be-
fore there was an Elmore county.
He served one term as Commits
sioner and Republicans, Democrats,
Socialists-everybody, says he was
the best Commissioner Elmore
county ever had. His special fit
ness for that position is recognized
by everyone.
n. F. SHELTON
of Pine for the 3rd. district has
lived in that section for many
years and is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with its needs and when the
3rd. district sought man who
would be a fit running mate for
Messrs. Stanfeld and Corker, they
turned to Mr.. SHELTON, and they
made no mistake. The voters are
not going to lose the opportunity
now given them to elect so strong a
Board.
Space does not permit us to
mention the several precinct NOM
inees, but all are we'll known in
their precincts to be well qualified
for the Offices for which they are
nominated.
The ticket from top to bottom is
composed of clean, able men who
will give Elmore County the best
administration it has ever had.
And voters, if you want to ever
after have a clear conscience and a
satisfied feeling that you have
done your full duty on the 9Th.
of November when you enter the
booth just place a cross in the cir
Gle at the head Of the Republican
ticket and you will make no mis-
take.

Borah the Orator Well Received.

One of the largest audiences that
ever assembled together here at any
political meeting greeted W. e. Borah
at the opera house last Tuesday eve-
ming and listened to an able address.
The Mountainhome band escorted him
to the opera house, where, on the plat

lican candidates, among them being

Mr.. Borah talked at some length on
national and state issues and then took
up the alleged Mormon issue, answer
ing in logical manner statements
made by Dubois, and proved where the
senator was in error in each case, prov
ing that the Mormon question at this
time Is not an issue and is only
brought forward by Dubois as an issue
for his own personal gain.

CHANGE THE DISTRICTS.
Insane Patients to Be Switched About
Population Served.

st. Paul, Feb. l6.-Insane commit
ments from Ramsey county will here
after be made to the St. Peter asylum in
stead of the Rochester institution as
heretofore. The change was ordered by
the state board of control today.
Another change ordered was the COM
mitment of insane patients from Hen
nepin county to the Rochester asylum
instead of st. Peter as has been the case
in the past. Also the addition of Chi
sage and Isanti counties to the Roches-
ter district, and Faribault to the st.
Peter district. They were heretofore
served by the Fergus Falls institution.
The three insane hospitals in the state
receive their patients from the terri
tory contingent to their location and be-
cause of the changing population and
more especially the growth of the Twin
Cities, the change in commitments was
necessary.
Under the old apportionment the st.
Peter asylum which has a capasity OF
1000 patients served a territory with a
population of 65O,2O4, Rochester with a
capacity of 200 a population of 544,-
1877, and Fergus Falls with a capacity
of 1900 people, a population of 7s2,l5l.
The distribution as it should be under
the 1905 census is $4,000, 639,704 and
SO0,SS0 respectively.
By the appointments made, st. Pc
ter will serve territory with a popula-
ton of 5S4,22O, Rochester population
of 637, ADJ and Fergus Falls a popula-
ton of 754,S69. The apportionment is
made largely on the basis OF railroad
facilities, it being found better for the
several districts than a strict adherence
to population lines.

Tariff War Averted.

What promised to be tariff war
with Germany has been averted, Am
bassador Speck Won Sternberg has mott
fed Secretary Root that as a mark of
friendship for the United States had de-
cided to apply the conventional and not
the maximum tariff upon American i'm
ports into its territory. But this con-
cession is limited to years time.
Meantime it is hoped that the sentiment
in favor of reciprocity will develop in
this country. The administration has
made it clear to the German govern
ment that it was disposed to make
a reciprocal Arrangement, but that
the opposition which is over
whelming in the senate made it fool
ish to enter into any such negotiations
or to promise to do so within the short
space of year. Germany, on the other
hand, points to the fact that five other
powers have brought the conventional
tariff by making important reduction in
duties upon German imports. Unless the
United States makes concessions, it has
been suggested to Secretary Root that
these powers would have reasonable
ground for complaint.
Secretary Root, in return for the con-
cession made by Germany, will grant
notifications of the customs and consul
ar regulations which have been subject
of complaint by importers of German
goods, and will renew the commercial
agreement made in 1900, under section
of the Dingley tariff law, which Ger
many denounced last year. Measured in
money, the United States will save in
duties annually about $3,0O0,000. The
saving to Germany will amount to $4l4,-
600.

BONSPIEL A SUCCESS.
Curriers' Played Until Three O'clock

FROM saturdays DAILY.
The bonspiel of the Caledonaan Curl
ing club did not conclude last evening
as had been expected. The curriers' play

some of them wanted to return home on
the four o'clock train. The bonsipel was
concluded today. AFlA
The business mems trophy was won
by Skip Labatt of Minneapolis over Skip
Snow of Mankato. The first event was
forfeited by Ellis, skip of Mapleton, to
Wasgatt, skip of Winnebago. These
events were completed last night, and
the second event was completed today.
The fourth event will not come off, for
lack of time. 1t was an event for the
losers
The first event of the first day went
to Winnebago and Mapleton, and the
second event of the first day to Min
neapolis. The second event of the sec
ond day this afternoon went to Owen
and Dodds, skips of Mankato, who play
ed it off this afternoon.
Mankato played clear up into the
semi finals in all of the games, which
was good, considering the old players
with whom they had to play.
The visitors returned home last night
or today. All had splendid time, and
pronounced the bonspiel a grand sue

THEY WERE ENGAGED.
Widow Explains Her Relation to Man
She Followed.

one fottOWeo.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The widow referred to yesterday by
the Free Press as having been called
down by the police for following Mr..
and Mrs. Walter M. Hook on the street
Saturday evening called at the Free
Press office today and explained that
she was justified in following them, and
that the police should not have inter
fered. She said that she and Hook be-
came engaged to be married year ago
last December, although both were mar
ried at the time. The wedding was
made dependent upon their ability and
Willingness to secure divorces. She Sc
cured hers last July, although she was
not sure that he husband was living.
Hook repeatedly promised her that he
would obtain his, and began his suit
last fall, so that the case was on the
calendar for the November term, but
was put over until the present term of
court. She believes that he would have
persevered and obtained the decree had
not his wife appeared upon the ground
and upset his plans. The Hooks are
now likely to make up and live togeth
er again, so the widow believes. Under
the circumstances and for other reasons
that seem good to her she has decided to
throw him overheard.
The widow exhibited handsome gold
ring with diamond and ruby setting
which she said that Hook had given her
as an engagement ring, and she said
that he is wearing one that she gave to
him as Christmas present. The en-
gagement ring cost $50, and the other
$40. Hook was not saving of his money,
and as he owed her son little and as
she felt that she had an interest in him
and in seeing how he spent his money
she had followed him from place to
place Saturday evening until the police
interfered. She felt that inasmuch as
she was engaged to him she had right
to do this. The widow says that Hook
gave her permission to follow him.
''The women generally gets the worst
of it, though" remarked the widow, as
she contemplated how her plans and
hopes had been blighted by the patch
ing up of the trouble between the Hooks
The widow claims that she did not
make the remarks attributed to her by
the police.

ORGANIZE THE BAR.
Association to Be Organized BY Law
yers in Thrice nth District.

Luyerne, Feb. ia movement has
been inaugurated at Luverne, looking
to the organization of a District Bar as
ISOLATION among the lawyers of the five
counties of Pipestone, Rock, Mobiles,
Murray and Cottonwood, comprising the
thirteenth judicial district. The mem
bers of the bar held an informal meet
ing at the office of A. j. Daley, last
Friday evening for the purpose of con-
sidering a proposition to organize dis
trict bar association. Those present
were: Judge p E. Brown, e. HI. Can
field Martin Weber, N. r. Reynolds,
C. H. Christopherson, Jay A. Kennicott,
S. C. Rea and A. j. Daley. After a
brief discussion, it was decided to not
effect any formal organization for the
present, but for the local lawyers to all
act as a committee and carry out such
plans as may be adopted. 1t was def
nitely decided to invite all the lawyers
of this judicial district to a banquet
to be held next August, the exact date
to be fixed to suit the convenience of
such outside speakers as may be secur-
ed for the occasion. As it developed,
during the talk, that A. j. Daley, esq,
and Jay. A. Kennicott, esq, both expect
ed to be in st. Paul at the opening of
the April term of the supreme court,
these two gentlemen were appointed a
committee to see Chief Justice Start,
and endeavor to secure his attendance
here for the August meeting and to de-
liver an address to the lawyers. The
date of the meeting will then be fixed to
suit his convenience, if he can be pre-
vailed on to attend. No further action
was taken, but it was decided to have
another meeting later on and formulate
more definite plans. All present express
ed themselves strongly in favor of hav-
ing a meeting between the five counties
in the district.

CODE IS IN TYPE.
Now Awaits the Reading Of the Proof;
There's Delay.

From Saturdays Daily.
Another conference on the revised
code was held today, and it develops
that bound volumes of the code cannot
be issued before Feb. %. Every effort is
being made and the code is a regular
nightmare to the state officials who
have it in hand.
Mark H. Dunnell of Owatonna, the
editor, was present with representatives
of the printers. p. T.. Hanson, secre
tary of state, A. n. Dare, state print
er, and George L. Simpson, represent
ing Attorney General Young, constituted
the board.
The printers report that the code is
all in type, but only about 1000 pages
have been corrected, and they cannot
begin binding until the editor has fin
ished reading proof. He promised to
have 10 pages more by Monday, the
10Th, and to have all proofs corrected
by the 23d. This will give only five days
for binding, and it will not be possible
to get out 1000 copies by the Goth, as
promised A small edition will be
ready. however, by March l, when the
code takes effect.
