Takes Johnson to Penitentiary,

Sheriff Fenton safely delivered
Johnson the burglar, to the
warden Of the penitentiary last
Thursday, which fact caused him
to give a sigh of relief. Johnson
was securely handcuifed before
they left here, but had the same
removed in a short time. He then
told the sheriff that he had made
several keys while in the Jail here,
with which he opened the locks,
and while he was being searched
had the same hid under his tongue
He gave Mr.. Fenton number oi
keys as souvenirs. Johnson is q
dangerous man and all were GLAD
to get rid of him.

BRYAN'S CRY OF CORRUPTION

IL has always been one OF Mr..
Bryan'S characteristics to accuse
his opponents of corruption.
Those who have had the courage
to stand out and oppose him or
his opinions have been denounced
as corrupt or disloyal, The John
son followers have been accused
by him OF using money in their
effort to prevent his nomination
for president. AS climax to all
of this we have the word of
Chairman Day Of the democratic
state committee that the Bryan
men spent $4,000 in Hennepin
county alone in the effort to pre-
vent Mr.. Johnson from securing
the delegation from his home
state. Mr.. Day further says: II
never saw such a campaign of
defamation and debauchery of
votes as was carried on by this
same crowd referring to the
Bryan followers. why, they
spent $4,000 in Hennepin county
alone. What they did is without
record in the history of Mime
sofa politics.
The injunction that those who
live in glass houses should throw
no stones, would be a wise one
for these fellows to remember.

The treatment given inebriate:

The treatment given inebriates
at the iuebriate asylum at Lin
coin proves to be a success in
many cases. One argument
made against sending iuebriates
to that asylum is that they are
apt to again take to drink. 1t
may be true, but there would not
be one-half the trouble along
that line if it were not for the
Williams who continually tempt
them. We are told of an instance
where a man returned from treat
ment and had not been home
more than an hour or two unit
an old soak went to him with I
bottle and tried to undo all tha
had been done by the state to re
form the man. A prompt appli
cation of a ball club or bailif
stick to the Uranium of a man o
that kind would be very eff
cient remedy. The public
some what to blame for many o
these evils.

Sal Accident Near Stella.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ephraim Withee of near Stella,
is indeed a sad one, caused by
the horrible death of their little
son. The facts as we have been
able to gather are these:
Mrs. Withee was doing her
washing on Monday morning,
and left her work for a minute
to go up stairs, The little fell
low was playing on the floor and
in some manner pulled the stop,
per from the machine, and the
water poured over the lower
part of his body. The physi
clans, say, however, that the
burns were not severe enough to
cause his death, but that the
fright produced heart failure.
The accident happened at 8 a. m,
and the little one seemed to be
resting easy up to the end, which
came at 4:30 p. m.
Don Quimby Withee was borr
January Is, 1907, and was ar
uncommonly bright child, anC
the pride and Joy OF his fonC
parents. He was their only
child, and with HIM goes the
prospects of a glorious futur,
which they had mapped out TO
him. But through all thei
sorrow there is comfort Il
knowing that he has been spare'
1.-THE many trials of a wicke,
world, and that his soul wa
taken back in all the purity il
which it was given.
The funeral services were hel,
in Stella and interment was i
Prairie Union cemetery.

June, will have been selected.
Secretary Taft's political man.
ayers, who seem to understand
the situation, claim more than
enough votes for the secretary on
the first ballot to nominate. 1t
is not probable that there will be
any change in the situation be-

convention which will in any way
endanger Mr.. Tatt's chances OF
nomination. 1t is doubtful il
any of the other candidates will
receive more than a compliment.

If present indications hold
true, this city will have several
blocks of paved streets before
this time next year, 1t is hoped
that the paving movement will
not be permitted to take back

three blocks of the main street
will be a great step forward for
the town and all property owners

part to push this movement until
