In the guessing contest given out
by Heilman & belong, whereby
50 doll was to be given to the per-
son making the nearest guess as to
how many votes J. A. Schmahl, the
Republican nominee for secretary of
state, would receive in Redwood
county, and 81 pair Of shoes be
given to the person making the sec
ond nearest guess, A. j. Cain placed
the figures at LIPS and Thelma
Pease at 1,122. Mr.. Schmahl re-
ceived 1,127 votes and A. J. Cain
being within two votes of that num-
Der, and the nearest, received
the doll, while Thelma Pease is en-
titled to the 81 pair of shoes. The
guesses ranged all the way from
the low number of 295 to the ex-
tremely high number of $4,000. In
asmuch as there are only about
5000 votes in the county the fallacy
of the high guesses is apparent.
Eleven persons placed the number
between LOO and 200, but most of
the estimates were 1000 and over.

The supreme court has given At

Of Judge Weber in the case of
Henry Jenning, appellant, VS.. Au-
gust and Ida Rohde respondents,
wherein the father-in-law and father
attempted to recover money alleged
to have been given the children for
a wedding present, and which Red
wood county jury construed as such
gift. The supreme court in decid-
ing for the children says that "evi-
dence was admissible on the part of
the defense that the money was paid
as a gift. 1t was unnecessary to
plead facts which directly contra
dicted the allegations and proofs of
the opposite party. Statements made
by appellant to a third party that
he had given his son-in-law 81, 400
and intended to give him $500 more,
and that he was worth 1000, were
admissible in evidence as admissions
characterizing the nature of pay
ments. In the absence of fraud or
undue influence a voluntary pay
ment of money by parent to his
children will be presumed to be a
gift. No error was committed in
instructing the jury upon the ques-
tons, the burden of proof, pre-
sumption and the intention of the
| donor"

PASSING OF A PloNNEER.
Sketch of M. Whiteman, Whose Fu-

| In the passing of Marks Whiteman
an eyentfuI life has been closed. He
was born at Lipna, Russia, May 10,
1918. At the age of sixteen years his

manned four years in Germany, then
went to London, England. Here he
spent two years, and at the age of
man did not find city life to his lik-
ing, and went to Sitka, Alaska, where
he engaged in mining and general
merchandising. There was very little
money in Alaska at that time, and
the main trade he had was with Ind
nuggets. He went from there to San
Francisco in 40 and again engaged
in trade He remained in San Fran
cisco five years. Then he went to
Australia and bought sailing YES
sci which piled between San Fran

the ship to his partner He was a
man always fond of animals, and he
first introduced cats, dogs, fowls,
and other domestic animals in Aus
tralia He traded these for fruit that
ne brought back and sold in San
Francisco. He advertised to pay SOC
each for all cats and dogs in Frisco
and on the first trip over he had the
ship full of them. He always eXpeF-
fenced good fortune. After he had
sold the ship to his partner it was
lost at sea the first trip out after the
transfer was made. After his exper
ience on the Pacific ocean he went to
New York again. Here. ne met and
wooed and won Miss Mary Levi, in

wants one man to control affairs as
Nelson Aldrich is doing. A ricn mar
having no regard for principles, JUS
so he is able to accomplish his plans
is the man who is senator from Rhode
Island today He has his tools al
fight bitterly to keep certain bills
from passing that would be detrimen
tai to their schemes, and generally
succeed in having them put down
1t matters not about the people just
so the Interests" gain.
For example, a bill is introduced
to the House and passed. Then it
comes to the Senate. 1t does not
meet the approval of Aldrich, so he
and his men have a private meeting
and the bill comes out entirely trans
formed. Then it is brought before the
Senate and passed, for the majority
of the Senators are co-workers with
Aldrich
Surely such men as these ought not
be allowed to make the laws by which
we are governed.
Another evil that we wish to speak
about is Sabbath desecration. The
pearing and becoming more like the
European Sabbath, which is a great
holiday. One writer says: 'If we
keep on at the present rate much
that we have gained in national char
acter by keeping Sunday as a holy
day, and not as a holiday will be
lost, and once lost cannot be regain
ed, unless there comes a marked
quickening of the public conscience. .
But for all the evils existing in
the United States, there is a marked
advancement in many ways
1t is the tendency of the American
people today to demand something
better. They are beginning to realize
the dangers threatening and are TAX
ing steps to improve the condition
of affairs The American nation as a
people are hberty-loving and they
will not allow the trusts to run the
government. Investigations are TAX
ing place and many evils are being
exposed.
AS long as we keep man like Pres
ident Roosevelt at the head of our
nation there is little danger of de-
cline. He is not only thought by his
own people but by many distinguish
ed foreigners to be the greatest man
in the world. His career mas given
the nation a new impulse toward
higher things and has emphasized
that it is not by its wealth, not by
its material progress, nor even by
it's education, that a nation becomes
great, but by righteousness that alone

the American Government"
We boast of being the greatest ma

million Inhabitants, possessing peace

What would be the condition of the
Cubans today if it had not been for
the United States? They would be
groaning under the Spanish Yoke. See
ward the starving Japanese, and this
is but a repetition of what we have
done for China, India and other coun
tries in need.
But these things should be expect
ed of a Christian and enlightened ma
ton. In its educational advancement
the United States ranks among the
first Its many colleges and univer-
stiles furnish ample opportunities for
the student. But these adyancements
do not insure perfection. There are
many serious questions confronting
dangerous nature.
One question that is needing con-
siderable attention is the immigration
problem.
From several European countries,
with Russia in the lead, hundreds OF
thousands are coming to the United
States yearly. the total immigration
for 1905 exceeded 100000, and it is
likely that it will be considerably
larger for this year.
One favorable thing is that the laws
governing these immigrants are be
coming more strict every year. Now
only able-bodied people are allowed
to land and then they have to have
a respectable character and definite
purpose as to what they are going
to do.
Many of the immigrants who come
to America are poor but Industrious,
coming in hopes to find work and
more freedom. But the question now
arises, What is going to be done
with so many foreigners?" These i'm
migrants seem inclined to stay in the
large cities and this is not where they
are needed. How many millions OF
acres of land in the United States
are lying idle because there is nc
one to improve them?
How many women and girls arr
needed as domestics, especially in ths
North9 If these immigrants would on
ly scatter over the United States tine
problem would be partially solved
but many are not agricultural labor
ers. rather unskiIed workers such a.
peddlers, garment makers, people wht
must work in the cities and add u
the ranks of the unemployed.
1t is the amazement of the world
that hitherto the United States ha.
succeeded so well in assimilating tns
classes of immigrants that t-have come
here but the task is becoming NOR,
difficult every year.

ATTEMPT Of A NEGRO
4 Black brute tAierS q Yoana iaty's
Room st ferris.

The sheriff's office was today noti-
fled of supposed attempt OF ne
gro to commit criminal assault at
Ferris this morning Information
came by phone from Deputy Robert
Cunningham, who had the negro In
custody. Full details were not given
but Mr. Cunningham stated that the
negro was accused of entering the
room of a young lady at that place.
He did not give the name of the brute
or of his intended victim. After Mr..
Cunningham had arrested the negro
he took him before the young lady
and she positively identified him as
the assailant. Mr.. Cunningham stat
ed that the affair had caused some
excitement there and he wanted the
negro brought to the jail in WaXa-
hachie as early as possible. Sheriff
Minnick, who was in Ennis, was com
municated with and he started at
once for Ferris to take charge of the
negro. He will be brought here this
afternoon
