Bogus Checks Galore.

The First State Bank people are re-
ceiving little surprises in almost every
mail, by checks forwarded to them
under the signatures of Dan Austen
and Chas. Harding. There is no de-
posit at the bank under neither OF
these names, and as the sum of them
already exceeds $500, it is plain tina,
the crook working the graft is a
smooth performer. Checks made pay
able to Harding are signed by Austen,
and .Harding's signature is attached to
checks in favor of Austen. They all
seem to be the work of one party,
however, who appears to have started
his little confidence game as far west
as Helena, then passing eastward,
found victims at Miles City Bowman
and other points, and yesterdays mail
brought few surprises from Waka-
pala. The bank wishes to caution the
public generally against this fraud,
and the press is asked to note this
item. Thus far there seems to be NO
clue to the party.

On December 2sth the old board Of
county commissioners of Adams county
will hold their final meeting at Hettin-
ger. Among the various matters to
come up at that session is the renam-
ing of several townships that had
chosen names which are already
claimed by other townships within the
state. The change Of name of Prairie
township will then be made, and as
latterly it has been discovered that
Burleigh county already has town
shi sailing under the name ''Missouri'
the good old corner township of Adams
will have to be rechristened As to
the latter we suggest any one of the
three, ''Plum Creek Bellies Pierres
pronounce ''bel peir, meaning beau
tiful stones" the name of the range Of
hills covering its north part, a name
given it by the early fur hunters of
the Hudson Bay company or Orange.
We would like to see this matter set
tied and invite our public spirited
neighbors to pass around petition to
that effect.

Band Benefit Dance.

The Lennon Band have de-
cided to give a ball on next Fri
day, December 18th, at Smith s
Opera House. Judging from
their last dance, and the prepara-
tions pending it is safe to predict
that this coming event will be
one of the most enjoyable of all.
The Robinson orchestra will play.
The boys are also preparing a
concert which will be rendered
some time soon after the holidays.

Rev. Mr.. Wright has called
attention to the fact that the star
which is believed to have guided
the wise men 1909 years ago to
the manger where the Christ
child lay is now once more visible.
The Star is exceedingly bright
and may be seen to best advan-
tage between three a. m. and
dawn. 1t has been visible for
about two weeks and will grace
the heavens for two or three
weeks longer. 1t is now slightly
north OF east, and a scanning of
the heavens shortly before mid
night will readily locate it. 1t is
said that the Jerusalem star only
appears to this country once in
about five hundred years. The
Cineese astronomical records
show conjunction of this star,
thus causing that wonderfully
brilliant light in the east about
the time of the birth of Christ,
which brought on the visit of the
Magic.
The commissioners of Hettin-
ger county have ordered county
census to be taken up in the near
future, and there is considerable
speculation among the boomers
of the back yard of Mott the
Peerless, as to how large the
number Of souls in the county.
Alonzo Cobb, the organizing
deputy Of the Modern Woodman
of America, has received from
State Deputy Pearman, of Water
town. that he will be present to
assist in the organization of the
new camp at Lennon. Every
old member in this jurisdiction is
earnestly requested to attend
this meeting as they, as we'll as
the new candidates, will be deeply
impressed with State Deputy
Pearman's conception of the
ritualistic work. 1t is beautiful
and expressive, and will be fully
eXemplified at the organization
of Lennon Camp. He attended
the big class adoption at Lead on
Nov. "a, and assisted in the
work of placing the banner of
Woodcraft on over one hundred
thresholds Of American homes,
with over million Modern Wood
men back of them. Look for
notice later.
Sounds of revelry" on Tues
day evening were the order, when
the band boys took it into their
heads to serenade the town while
enjoying a sleigh ride. The night
was fine and surely everyone ap-
preciated and enjoyed the touch
Of merriment and ginger" in
fused into Main street by the
band boys once more taking CEN
ter stage. Let us hope they will
have more sleigh rides this VIM
ter.
Bear in mind that the Ladies'

At Hettinger the unfinished
Norwegian Lutheran church, then
in its weakest stage of construc-
ton, collapsed during the storm
Of Monday of last week. The
mishap entails a loss of some $500
on the congregation.
Among the various candidates
who are now springing up for
Office in Perkins county, is Amos
0. Stanley, of Lodgepole, who
will compete for the office Of
county judge with Albert E.
Yager, Of Lennon. Mr.. Stan
ley has held office in West Vir-
ginia as attorney for Fainmount,
w. Va, sat four years in the
legislature of that state, and also
was on the West Virginia circuit
court as special judge. It's
strange what varied talent is at
tracted to the homesteads of Gods S
country.

they WILL NOT BOLT.
Opponents Of Taft Decide to Stay in

Chicago, June S.-Representatives
of the Allies have recaned their
statement that they will bolt the Re-
publican national committee so far as
the presentation of evidence to sup
port the claims of anti-Taft deIega-

cerned. There is evidence that the

fed with the campaign being made by

of the other spokesman for the AL

ill advised, and they busted themselves
to counteract its effect. After numer-
Gus conferences the following, which
was headed Statement from the al
lies was issued:
Upon the authority of the repre-
senatives of all the presidential candi-
dates other than Secretary OF War
Taft, it was announced today that they
would continue to present their side of
the contested delegate cases to the
national committee. The cec1sion OF
the national committee Will not be
taken as final by the candidates known
as. the Allies but an appear VIII be
taken in cases where it is believed IN
justice has been done. first to the COM
mittee on credentials and later to the
convention itself.
"The determination of the repre-
sentatives of the Allies to continue
the presentation of their side OF the
contests to3the national committee is
not to be taken as an indication that
they approve of the manner in which
these contests have been decided.
But in order to be in a position to
present all of the cases in proper form
to the committee on credentials, 1t is
deemed advisable to comply with the
form of procedure laid down by the
national committee.
''It is the firm determination of the
representatives of the Allies to first
give the national committee an oppor-
tunity to consider all the contests on
their merits

BAILEY AND LELAND.
1hey Address a Large Meeting at
HoltOn.

dolton, Kan, June S.-A meeting was
held at Holton Saturday, in the court
house park, under the auspices of the
Republican central committee. Cyrus
Leland, candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor spoke for
about half an hour. The meeting was
largely attended by representative Re-
publicans from all over Jackson coun-
ty. This was the opening of the cam
paign in Jackson county. Prior to this
there has been no great amount of in
terest taken by the people with refer
ence to the candidates for governor
MI. Leland spoke principally in regard
to the record of w. r. Stubbs, his op-
ponent, taking up the various meas
ures which Mr.. Stubs has supported
He spoke of the several articles which
have appeared over the signature of
Mr.. Stubs, in various periodicals and
newspapers. He defended the several
administrations of Kansas from the
organization of the state, and contend
ed that there had been very little graft
or INSTRUMENTATION, Mr.. Stubs to
the contrary Notwithstanding
The main speech Of the day was made
by Ex-Governor Bailey. who followed
Mr.. Leland. The speech made by Gov
ernor Bailey, was along the line of
party partisanShip. He advocated the
theory that all candidates must come
of party. That the will of the ma
tority should govern in the selec-
ton of candidates; that the true test
of Republicanism, was whether man
advocated the measures and principles
of the Republican party and if he had
given his support to, and voted the
ticket. He declared that Mr.. Stubs
had never taken any interest in the
politics of the state nor attended a
Republican caucus. That Mr.. Stubs

house, which killed the bill. He read
from the Cosmopolitan Magazine that
part of the article which appeared in
an issue of 1904, which contained an
interview, given by Mr.. Stubs. in
which Stubs stated that the 100000
which was given for the building of
the state road to the institution at
Atchison, was a slap at him, and not
the state university, and at that time
turned over a check for $4,000 to- the
regents of the state university. The
regents state that Mr. Stubbs had
never turned over a check for $4,000 or
any amount. The governor stated that
so far as~he was personally concerned
he was not asking for any office, that
al far as office was concerned, that the
curtain of his political career had been

as a. double dealer and four f1usher.

who at the time of the Curtis conVen-
