HON. P. 4. ST0LbERC
OUT FOR JOHNSON
GIVES STRONG REASONS FOR THE
REELECTION OF THE PRES
ENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
GAYS THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD
VOTE FOR JOHNSON AND
PURIFY THEIR PARTY.

Hon. P. H. Stolberg, the leading at
torney of Chisago county, writes a
strong endorsement Of Governor John
sons administration. and in a letter
recently made public gives his rea-
sons for supporting him for reelection.
Mr.. Stolberg has been a lifelong Re-
publican and in 1904 was a delegate
from Minnesota to the Republican ma
tional convention which nominated
Theodore Roosevelt. He is a member
Of the board of directors of Gustavus
Adolphus college and has been identi-
fed with public affairs for a great
many years. Mr.. Stolberg is one of
the many thousands of Republican
voters who protest against the DOM
inat1on of his party conventions and
committees by the lumber trust and
other special interests. He believes
further that Governor Johnson is en-
titled to reelection on his merits. The
letter follows:
Harris, Minn., Oct. 6, 1906.-There
are no partisan questions to be de-
ctded in the. state election this year.
I can see no reason why the Republic
ans who supported and voted for John
A.. Johnson two years ago should not
do the same this year. I was for him
two years ago, because conditions then
fully justified such a course. 1 favor
his reelection this time, because he
has given the state a clean, efficient
and independent administration. He
has carried out every promise and
pledge which he made, which were
simply to enforce the laws fearlessly
and impartially to protect the inter-
ests of the state in every respect.
''Governor Johnson has done his full
share to collect the money due the
state from those who had unlawfully
cut timber on the states lands. He
promised before he was elected that
this would be done, and he has made
his promises in this respect good. If
Ihe state wins the timber trespass
suits that are now in the courts it will
be richer by over 100000 as a result
Of the work of Governor Johnson, At
torney General Young and State Au-
d1tor Iverson.

The Condensery.

The force of workmen on the
new condensery plant was consider.
ably increased this week, as ad-
ditional material has arrived. The
masonry work is nearing completion
and the bricklsyers have started
operation. Ten or twelve Italian
helpers were brought from the city
and as no accommodations could be
found for them, shack was con-
structed on the premises. The
boilers and other heavy portions
of the machinery, including pump
weighing several thousand pounds,
have arrived and it is anticipated
that work on the plant will have
progressed far enough by August
1st to commence condensing oper-
ations. The butter making depart
ment will not be completed until
later. The condensed milk will be
unsweetened and not put up in
small can as was generally suppos-
ed, but shipped in bulk of several
gallons. 1t is intended for imme-
diate use by confectioners and
bakers and similar industries which
use large quantities of milk in their
products.

Non-Jury Court.

The June or non-jury term OF
the Circuit Court opened on Mon
day with Chief Judge James A.
Pearce and Associate Judge Austin
L. Crothers on the Bench. The
morning was spent in the call oi
the dockets, and at its close Court
was adjourned until Monday, June
25. At the suggestion of George
A. Blake, Esq, action upon the
death of the late Judge Edwin II.
Brown was deferred until the Sep
tember tenn of Court.
His Honor Judge Pearce, who,
with Judge Brown, heard the So
called "Canal cases" of State VS..
Vaughan, Carter, Loveless and
Smithers, four Of twenty-five ap-
peals from a magistrates decision
adjudging them guilty of violating
the Sunday law by performing their
duties as employees or officials of the
c. & D. Canal Company at Chesa-
peake City, rendered the judgement
Of the Court, acquitting the defend
ants. Judge Pearce held that the
Court could not consult its prede-
lictions or those of the community,
but must follow the best approved
decisions in analogous cases to those
in question, a long line of which
was to the effect that work similar
to that performed on the canal was
necessary.

Murderer pardoned /.

Governor Warfield Wednesday
afternoon issued pardon to Harry
W. Harris, who was convicted in
the Criminal Court of Baltimore on
March 1, 1900, of murder in the
second degree for wife killing and
sentenced to a term of 16 years in
the penitentiary. The conviction
of Harry Shippers for the murder
of Mr.. Albert Constable, near Elk
ton, Cecil county, was secured
largely through Harris testimony,
he having overheard Simpers' con.
versation while both were in the
penitentiary. This fact figured
prominently in inducting the Gov
ernOr to exercise clemency. Har-
ris' pardon is granted on the ex-
press condition that he will not
attempt to obtain possession of his
child, Eva Mary Louise Harris,
now in the custody of her grand
mother, Mrs. PAMELA j. James,
until 1916.

Octorar0 Farmers Club Celebrates
Its 5Oth Anniversary With
Appropriate Exercises.
THE PIONEER FARMERS CLUB.

The semi-centennial celebration
of Octoraro Farmers club, of
Lancaster county, was held in
James J. Jackson's grove near Bart
Meeting House, last Saturday.
The day proved rather threaten.
ing at the outset and prevented
many who otherwise would have
attended, but despite lowering
clouds at times, the gathering num-
bered several hundred and all who
risked wetting but did not get it
were well repaid for the venture.
The grove was we'll fitted for the
occasion, a permanent stand for
orchestra and speakers and good
substantial seats being among the
comforts, besides a number of tables
for the bountiful dinner which was
served to all the assembled guests.
Over the driveway into the
grove was suspended a design made
of red cloth and which bore the
following:
'66-OCToRARo FARMERS CLUB-'O6
These letters were made entirely
of wheat heads. At the speakers
platform and mounted on white
background were the same letters
made of large ripe strawberries,
with the exception of the word
"club," which was represented by
four large ears of corn placed
lengthwise. At the posts were
pumpkins, cut and nicked to re.
semble jardinieres and filled with
flowers.
An excellent orchestra from
Philadelphia furnished music for
the occasion.
Alban Walton, of Nine Points,
president Of the club, presided and
Mrs. Josephine W. Brinton, of
Christiana, filled her position as
secretary.
Mr.. Walton said the Octoraro
Farmers Club was the oldest club
of the kind in existence. After q
few brief remarks he introduced T.
Eugene Baker, who made the ad-
dress of welcome, and an interesting
and instructive literary and musi-
cal program followed.
The history of the club from its
organization in 1856 to the present
time was given in an able paper by
Miss Carrie w. Chambers.
Brief sketches of the work en-.
gagged in and the history of the
farmers clubs of Solebury,
Wrightstown, Cecil, Doe Run and
Faggs Manor were given by their
representative.
The Cecil Farmers Club was
represented by Robt. T. Cameron,
president; Cecil E. Ewing, secre-
tary; Wayne Reynolds, r. K.
and G. Ross Biles.
In rehearsing the history of the
various clubs represented it devel-
oped that the Solebury Farmers
Club, Of Bucks county, and the
Ceoil Farmers Club were twins,
both having been organized in Feb
ruary, 1871.
Joseph H. Brosius, the only liv-
ing charter member of the Octoraro
lub and who is now an honorary
member, was numbered among the
guests present.
