has come with all it's fighting strength
to secure the adoption of the blossom
by the national body. In order that
no one shall forget what illinois wants,
the state badges are very handsome
affairs of white satin with sprays Of
the nasturtiums painted on them.
illinois regards the nasturtium as very
suggestive ;coe Of TT the order, bright, beauti-
the national color of the W. R. c., and,
in fact, Illinois cannot see any reason
why the national convention has de-
layed tax ing official action The mat
ter was brought abefore the delegates
last year, but nothing was done.
If the nasturtium is: not speedily
adopted it will have serious rivals, for
it is understood that the dandelion has
pretensions, which are supported by the
middle west. The daisy is another
claimant for W. R. G. favors.

j. F. Jacobson, in his public speech
here last week, unhesitatingly adj
vised the voters to vote for Minette as
he found him a useful and alert
colleague in the house when it came
to work against corporate greed and
corruption. Having had previous
legislative experience it is safe to say
that he will be honored with important
committee appointments in the senate.
With Mr.. Howard in the house it is
needless to say that any legislation
pertaining to the welfare OF this dis.

CAN ACCOMPLISH THINGS.
John r. Howard, Man the Voters
OF Stearns County Should Send
to the Legislature.

Sank Centre has no apology to offer
and need none, when it offers such a
man as John R. Howard as candi-
date for the legislature and ask the
voters of this legislative district for
their support in his behalf. Here,
where he is best known, he will
receive the loyal support of all voters
irrespective of party affiliations, be-
cause the people admire him for his
rugged worth and sterling loyalty to any
means offered to better the conditions,
not only of this district, but the state
at large. The needs and demands of
this district are thoroughly known to
John Howard and will be pressed be-
fore the Legislature by him should
the people see fit to entrust to his
care this undertaking. As a member
Of the legislative body there will not
be more active or more prominent
member on the floor. For five terms
he was chief clerk of the Minnesota
legislature and the knowledge and
experience gained then in legislative
work will prove vast benefit to his
constituents. 1t will be an experience
few members are endowed with.
When the Union stood in need of
defenders he was among the first to
answer Lincoln's call for volunteers,
enlisting in the Second Minnesota
Cavalry and served with distinction
and honor throughout those trying
years, being mustered out bearing
the commission of lieutenant.
A vote for him means a vote for
your own interests.

The 'tkid'' Band

The first public appearance of the
''Kid" band on Thursday evening OF
last week, at the political rally, rather
pleasantly surprised Sank Centre
people by their efficiency considering
the short time since sthe organization,
and the fact that it was selected from
"raw MATERIAL" and praise was heard
from all sides for Prof. Townsend,
who has so admirably succeeded in
drumming" music into the boys.
The selections were given hearty ap-
plause, and to say the least they were
tremendously rendered and thorough
ly appreciated even if they were not
of the upper G.. class of music. /
The boys should be given every en-
couragement possible, and loyal
support by both business and private
interests means that Sank Centre will
have "kid" band next summer that
can skin anything in this neck OF
the. state. A musical organization OF
this kind is needed in this city, so
let every man put his shoulder to the
wheel and let the boys have all. the
air space they need, and don't grumble
if the kid next door should keep you
awake little o'nights while trying
to emulate Sousa as an artist.

citizenship is the foundation upon
which all good towns are built. Show

of interests so tightly banded together
that those who have no interests in
common with them need not apply
for either favor or recognition. It is

TIN WEDDING
A Pleasant Surprise Party for MIR
and Mrs. Verne Burgess Planned
by Friends.

On Saturday, Oct. q, Mr.. and Mrs.
Verne Burgess arose in the morning,
as usual; congratulated each other
on the fact of having lived together in
peace and harmony for ten years; ex-
changed anniversary gifts; ate their
breakfast; and went about their daily
duties.
Several other families arose that
morning with we'll laid plans in their
heads, for a committee had been at
work for several days-friends who
knew what this day meant in the life
of Mr.. and Mrs. Burgess.
The day was cold, the wind blew a
gale, but about ten O'Clock a. M,
loads of people began to arrive and
unload in front of the Burgess home,
and while some entered the front door,
others with various shaped bundles
proceeded to the kitchen door.
Entering in an unceremonious man
ner they caught Mrs. Burgess upon
her knees. No, she was not. in de-
votional attitude-she was scrubbing
her floor. She was told to finish the
job on Monday as they wanted to run
the kitchenlfor while. Equal to the
occasion the little lady, very dutifully,
obeyed. Upon taking account of stock
Mrs. Burgess found about twenty
guests present. To say there was
something doing" family expresses
it. When the noon hour arrived and
poor unsuspecting Verne came home
to dinner, the noise that came to his
ears as he neared his usually quiet
home, was very much like the roar of
Niagara, but when he entered and be-
held the crowd, and looked upon the
bountifully laden dining table, he
Immediately spread his face with a
perfectly satisfied expression.
1t was merry party! Gifts of
china. glass, tin and granite were
presented to the happy couple.
After a pleasant afternoon the
company "broke up" and departed
for their homes, leaving best wishes
for the continued happiness OF Mr..
and Mrs. Verne Burgess. ***

far an official may go and the means
he may employ in the doing of an
official act or the performance of an
official duty. 1t is matter of common
knowledge that counties often fail to
avail them selves of the laws intended
for their benefit through failure of
county officials to call them into
requisition.
When we consider that the County
Attorney is charged with the duty of
expounding the laws for the other
officials and the further duty of en-
forcing the general laws of the state
within his county we cannot fail to
appreciate the importance OF select
ing man for that Office who possesses
thorough knowledge of the law,
sound judgment as to its scope in
the accomplishment of the object for
which it was designed and this moral
courage required in its execution.
We do not hesitate to say that
William F. Donohue, Candidate for
County Attorney of Stearns County,
possesses these qualifications in ap
iminent degree; and that his election
would mean economy in the admin
istration of county affairs and insure
an able and conscientious execution
of the laws.

One of the most important county
offices is that of County Attorney. It
is made his duty to advise the other
county officials as to their duties
under the law and the manner in
which these duties may be legally
performed.
His counsel is sought by the county
commissioners in the levying and

of public roads and the laying out
and construction of public bitches.
In short his counsel is sought in all
matters pertaining to county govern

custom entertained their husbands
and friends on Halloween evening in
the Masonic hall.
Every one was invited to bring q
sheet and pillow case. After the
guests had assembled the ladies in
one room and the gentlemen in an
other had a merry time donning their
white robes. A few dashes of cOlored
crayon on white face mask and a
def arrangement Of draperies pro-
duced some artistic and wonderful
results.
Dancing was pleasant feature of
the evening, all entering gaily into
the spirit of the occasion. Pretty
Japanese lanterns cast a subdued
light over the scene.
Typical Halloween refreshments
were served. Games and a social
time followed.
III. F. Donart accompanied by
different ladies of the order furnished
the music.
