A Mr.. johnson is missing from
Van Meter. after residence there
of three years. Thursday Of last
week johnson went to Van Metre
after groceries, crossing the river
in a boat. He secured the sup
plies, and left on his return home.
He failed to arrive that night, and
search the next morning showed
the boat with the groceries intact
at a point about two miles down
the stream. On the south bank.
the one nearest his home, his coat
was found at about the place where
he started with the boat on his
way to the store. The stream was

the most of his opportunities. =

If there is a man or woman who
thinks women are not thinking
along political lines or do not want
to vote if they we're given a
chance, they ought to have been
at Waldron'a Hall on election day.
The male vote in Fort Pierre was
democratic but the women elected
Taft and all the republicans except
F. S, Rowe for the senate and
George Philip for atates's attorn-
ey, who were democrats. Now
where is the person who said a
woman would vote just as her
husband did I The women had d

went home with the desire to have
their votes counted in 1912
