The county commissioners were in
session from Monday to Thursday.
Among other business was the letting of
the bridge contracts. The following are
the amounts bid by tho several firms
represented: s4875, s4450, s4e5O, s455O,
S4325. The latter and lowest bid was
made by the Fargo Bridge & Iron Co.
and the job was let to them. There
were also tenders received from the
various banks of the county for the de-
posit of sinking fund moneys belonging
to the ditch funds. Nine banks offered
from to per cent interest On such de-
posits and three banks offered per
cent. AS the statutes say that any bids
over 8 per cent shall not be considered
the money was awarded to the banks
that offered only 3 per cent. They are
First Bank of Drayton, Merchants of
Pembina, and First Bank of Backoo.
Some dates we're fixed in the. future for
the hearing ON division of school dis
tricts and quite number of bills,passed.
A summary will be published neStweek.
Representatives of the Midland Con-
tinental railroad and members OF the
local right of way committees met at the
Ryan hotel, st. Paul, Saturday, and
checked up the work done up tnthe
present time, and the surveyors will be
in Pembina some time next week to
start and lay out the permanent line
through this county, and such side
tracks and terminals as may be required,
and when the permanent line is made
the company will at once proceed to-
acquire title to what land will be re-
quired to condemn. We have it dinect
from Mr. Bull, the president, that:had
all the rlght-of-way in this county been
signed up, grading would have been
commenced in a few weeks from Penn
bina south, but as it is it may take a
good part Of the Summer to acquires title
and consequently there will be no work
save the survey this summer. SIXTY
miles from jamestown north will be
started at,once.

PECULIAR MISTAKE IN RETURNS
FROM MONROE COUNTY
GOES THROUGH.

Des Moines, Oct State Superin-
tendent John F. Riggs is entitled to
900 more votes in the primary cleo
ton held in June than the returns
credit him with. A clerical error has
been discovered in Monroe county
which gives him LISP votes there in
stead of 1872 When the returns were
brought in there was considerable, sur
prise occasioned because Monroe
county gave but 152 votes for Riggs
when he lived in that section of the
state. Not until recently, however,
was any investigation made. Some
Of Professor Riggs friends wrote to
Speaker Nate Kendall, who lives in
that county He knew or no explain
alton and referred the letter to the
county auditor, who made out a certi-
fled copy of the returns which shows
that Riggs had LISP votes there.
Professor Riggs had the nomination
without the benefit of those votes, but
had the contest been close those votes
would have been very important. The
returns have long. since been canvass
ed by the proper officials and there is
no way now in which the other Ihous.
and votes can be added to the official
figures at the state house.

AFTER MANY YEARS
IOWA MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
REUNITED IN A NEW YORK
COURT ROOM.

New York, Oct 7.-Mrs. Flora Avery
and her 15-year-old daughter, Myrtle
Barber, after separation of nearly
fourteen years and 1000 miles, were
kept twenty feet apart, for two hours
today in the supreme court chambers
| by official red tape. Meanwhile the
mothers form shook with the agony
of the situation, and the daughter,
who had never known mothers
love, wept.
Two years ago the police found a
young girl wandering in Canarsie at
O'Clock In the morning, penniless,
homeless and hungry. They turned
her over to the society for the preven-
tion of cruelty to children in Brook
lyn, where she said she was Mary
Stafford-the only name she knew.
| Her father, George II. Stafford. she
said, had made her work as nurse for
a child. She had been discharged
and did not know where to find her
father. Mary Stafford was committed
to the Catholic protectory by Justice
Fitzgerald. ..-. '..
There was a street fight last spring
on the west side, in which a man shot
a finger off anothers hand. He was
tried for assault and acquitted on
the ground of self-defense, but con-
victed of carrying a concealed weap-
on, and sentence was suspended. This
man called himself George Stafford.
He was defended by John H. Helm
zelman, to whom he confided that his
right name was Charles S. Barber,
and that he had a daughter, Myrtle,
then lost to him. He then said he
had kidnapped her in 1894, from Sioux
City, Ia, when she was IS months
old, and that her. mother was proba-
bly, living there yet. John Heinzel-
man heard that Mrs. Ban Der had mov-
ed to Spearfish, s. D., where she Sc
cured a divorce from Barber, and be-
came the wife of Mr.. Avery. Mr..
! HeinZelman told the story of the
fathers abduction of the babe, after
having abused the mother. His story
neld the court and spectators spell
| bound and many were in tears.
Mr.. Ryan, representing the protect,
ory said they would gladly surrender
the child if proof was shown of these
facts, whereupon Justice Blanchard
adjourned the hearing till Friday.
Your honor this mother has been
forbidden to speak to her child and
for two hours, after travelling half
way across the continent to claim her
she has been kept twenty-five feet
away from her darling" said Mr.
Heinzelman. May she have your
honors permission to talk with herr?
Certainly" said the justice, and in
a second the pair were in each 9th
er's arms sobbing and caressing each
other.

KENDALL At BLY7H ONE THOUSAND VOTES
Candidate for Congress Greeted by
Good Crowd.

Blyth, Ia, Oct. 7.-Concluding a
hurried but successful campaign tour
through Mahaska county, which oc-
cupied Just two days time, Hon. Nate
E. Kendall, republican candidate for
congress from the Sixth district, ad-
dressed a large assemblage of Pleas
ant Grove township voters here last
night. He held his audience entirely
in his power for over an hour, Whine
he eloquently lauded republican prin-
ciples and ripped open the false doc
trines of the democratic leaders.
In every town where Mr.. Kendall
has stopped he has been received most
cordially, and during his speeches
the applause has been enthusiastic
and sincere. He came into the coun-
ty Monday from his home In Abba
after a much needed rest Sunday and
spoke in the afternoon at New Sharon.
In the evening he went to Peoria for
another meeting and after speaking in
Barnes City Tuesday morning he
came here last night, He will speak
in Searsboro and Deep River today.
On his trip through this county he
was accompanied by numerous repub-
lican candidates, including A. F. n.
Hambleton, w. /. Beans, J. G. fatter-
son, Roy Rowland and U. G. Deck.
His compliments to the women in
his audiences have ueen quite flow
cry and he said that while he had al
ways opposed womans suffrage, If
he had known that there were half as
many good-looking women in the
United States as he has seen during
his last brief visit in Mahaska coun-
ty, he would never have voted against
the proposition.
His theme is that of advocating re-
publican policies and defending re-
publican interests. He said that ev-
cry legislative measure which has
brought universal approval, every
move in political history that really
has lived and become a thing in his
tory,-has been inaugurated by the
republicans. in the handling of all
national and public affairs" said Mr..
Kendall, there ought to be two par
ties; one to be in power, to control
and execute, and the other to stand
by and watch and criticise. The re-
publican party is the executive body
the democratic party makes good
looker-on." While the speaker dealt
principally with the national party
issues and pictured in detail the atti-
tude of the national party candidates,
he did not ignore the congressional
contest. He referred to his opponent,
Dan w. Hamilton, of Sigourney, with
all due respect, but criticised him Sc
verely for what he did not do while
in congress. He said that while Mr.
Hamilton likes to call himself a
Roosevelt democrat" II he was per-
mitted to go back to congress as a
representative of the people of this
district, he would be very apt to be
Bryan democrat" To insure the
carrying out of the Roosevelt policies,
Mr. Kendall declared that it was es-
sential tnat the republican ticket
should be loyalty supported and in
conclusion he expressed his belief
that the outlook is glorious. Never
has there been time so good foFre-
publican prospects as this.

Germantown for Day-PoIice
and Firemen Parade.

Philadelphia, Oct 7.-Another day
of cloudless skies, of brilliant sun
shine and crisp autumnal weather
marked the continuance Tuesday of
the celebration of Philadelphia s

can citizens, who paid homage to the
memory of the first immigrant from

This part of the celebration had it's
center in Germantown, where there
was parade many miles long and

parts of the country attended the cele-
bration.
The feature of the afternoon was a
parade down Broad street of the po.
lice, firemen apd letter carriers of the
city, the state constabulary and vol
unteer fire companies from many of
the neighboring towns and villages.
During the time the policemen were
on parade the city was practically
turned over to the militiamen. The
entire First brigade of the Pennsyl.
vania National Guard was called out
for police duty and assisted in guard.
ing the lines along Droad street.

by industrial floats, At night the
laboring men will have parade OF
floats and marching bodies.

WEEMS NOT GUILTY?
Davenport Woman Could Free Alleged
Murderer.

Des Moines, Oct but for the
fact that it would bring shame to her
grown son and would wreck the
home of a Des Moines business man
whom she once loved, a Davenport
woman would testify before the state
board. of parole and set George
Weems, of Dallas county, free. He
is life prisoner for the murder of
Conductor Ridpath. He testifies that
he was in her rooms that night when
the murder took place. She admits
it is so, but to testify would disclose
that she had once been an inmate OF
the underworld in Des Moines. She
is now a highly respected woman in
Davenport, and was led first to the
underworld by Des Moines business
man now of great prominence. The
board may free Weems anyway.

BRYAN ADDRESSES
!. CROWDS OF |OWANS
DECLARES HE HAS OUTLINED
"VENoMoUS ATTACKS"
TAFT is BITTERLY SCORED
Republican Candidate Winds Up His
Western Tour with Great
Meetings in St. Louis
if and Vicinity.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Oct. IL present
myself as an example of one who has
outlived the venomous attacks of his
demagogue IL years ago. You saw
them bury me and you heard them
chant their songs over my grave, and
now they have to explain why 1t hap
pened that l was not dead"
With all the fervor that he could
muster up, William ]. Bryan, facing
a vast assemblage in the Chautauqua
auditorium between Tama and Toledo,
in this state Tuesday, delivered him
self of this utterance. At no time dur
ing the present campaign has he
spoken so earnestly or with such Wig
or. His rSmark followed bitter de-
nunciation of Mr.. Taft for refusing
to agree to publication of campaign
contributions before elections. mo
honest man and no political party cou-
ducting an honest campaign" he de-
clared, need be afraid of the light"
RidicuIes the Republicans.
At Woodward he heaped ridicule on
NiC AbCPupllSoho ny Sldl oAll6 thShA
with taking credit for the growth Of
crops, the shining Of the sun and the
bringing of rain. In fact, he said,
they seize upon anything that they
think gives a plausible excuse for vot-
ing the Republican ticket"
Drawing large, cheering crowds all
day in the course of his travels
through the state, the Democratic
candidate, never in better form,
hurled defiance at his opponents and
challenged them to meet his argu-
ments. Fifteen speeches and hand
shaking with thousands constituted
his days work, the concluding speech
being made here in the Auditorium,
which was filed to overhowing.
Taft Ends Western Tour.
st. Louis, Oct. with a 12-hour
demonstration of cordiality, political
enthusiasm and intense interest, this
city Tuesday furnished an appropriate
climax to the western campaign trip
of William H. Taft, which ended
here.
The candidate spoke to an immense
audience in the nearly finished Coli
scum, from which as many We're
turned away as got in. He followed
this with an open-aSr address at Clay
ton, a suburb and county seat of st.
Louis county, and then rushed to East
st. Louis, where he addressed a large
gathering of employees OF the stock
yards. The scal papers estimated
that fully 10000 strangers came to the
city just to say Hello, Bin" to the
Ohioan.
At Yelled Prophets Ball.
The ball of the Yelled Prophet,
which is the great society event of the
carnival, was made decidedly more
popular by the announcement that the
candidate would be there. Mr.. Taft
visited the ball for few minutes, but
did not participate in the festivities.
Before reaching st. Louis, Mr. Taft
had strenuous day in a number of
Missouri towns.
Mr.. Taft left st. Louis at one
o'clock Tuesday night for Chicago,
where he will address the Deep Wa
terways convention, go to Galesburg
to attend the celebration of the Lin
coln-Douglas debate, and then return
to Chicago in time for a banquet at
which Mr.. Bryan as also to be guest.
