Election Case

Election Case.
Nevada, June 30.-There was filed
in the office of clerk of courts a petit
ton naming j. o. Michaelson, Benja-
min johnson and c. w. Scott, members
Of the board of supervisors of Story
county as defendants, in which writ
Of certiorari is asked in the matter of
the contested and recounted election
precincts of Story county. The petit
ton was drawn up and filed by
Messrs. Parker, Hewitt & Wright, John
G. Myerly, w. e. Miller and Robert
Brennan, all attorneys of Des Moines,
for Hon. j. A. T. Hull, candidate for
member of congress from the Seventh

In the petition it is charged that the
board acted illegally in recounting
the ballots in the precincts of WASH
ington township, Ames First. Second
and Third wards, Palestine precincts
and Q, Grant township and Nevada
First ward, after they had been count
ed and certified to by the proper cleo
ton boards. 1t further states that
the board reopened the count and
went into the matter without proper
showing for recount.
The matter was taken before Judge

COMMON SENSE VS..
STRONG DRUGS
Simple Oil Of Wintersreen Cures Ee-
I zema and Drives Out Old Fogy
Treatment.

If you were to hack your finger or
scald your arm, you would apply some
healing remedy as soon as possible,
wouldn't you?
That would be good common sense
and it would bring the quickest relief.
You surely would never think of drink
ing medicine or doctoring the blood to
cure a surface affliction.
It's just the same principle with dis
eases of the skin. Eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum and BARRIERS itch can be
cured and cured easily if you strike
right at the trouble as you do with a
cut or burn.
The cause of itching, burning skin
diseases according to modern science, is
a germ which feeds upon the weaker
parts of the skin. To kill these skin
bacilli which produce the itching sores
and ugly red blotches, use the fam Gus
prescription of oil of wintergreen, glyc-
crime and thymol, commonly known as
D. D. d. Prescription. This mild liquid
was advocated by a prominent skin
specialist, DR.. Dennis, Of Chicago, long
before it was adopted generally. This
LIQUID is called D. d. D. Prescription. 1t
is a positive specific for all skin dis
eases.
Don't dose the stomach. Cure the
skin thru the skin. We know D. D. D.
and vouch for it. Call at our store

Recent Experiments Reveal One OF
Finest Potter's ciays Discovered.
Special to Times Republican.
Mason City. June 29.-Mason City
clay is now being used extensively IN
the manufacture Of brick, tile. and ce-
ment. Recent experiments in the lab
oratories of the State University OF
Ohio, at Columbus, have proven that
at least one of the great clay beds of
this vicinity is composed of one of the
finest potter's clays ever discovered.
At the plant Of the Fertile Clay q
Peat Company, only a few miles north
west of this city, variety of pressed
brick is being manufactured, which
architects say is one Of the best ever
made. It is hard as granite, has an
aptitude for taking wonderfully high
polish, and is Of unique beauty OF
color. The experiments in pottery
manufacture have proven that this
same clay will make earthenware and
pottery of the finest kind.
Plans are already being made by
several eastern artists to have consign-
ments Of the clay shipped to them for
the manufacture of artistic earthen-
ware and at the same time local CAPT.
talists are becoming much interested
in the commercial value Of the dis
covery, which may mean another great
industry for northern Iowa.

Eldora, June 30.-The recent discus
sion in the daily press regarding Betsy
Ross as the maker of the first Amer
lean flag, under the direction of George
Washington, brought out the fact that
a great granddaughter Of Betsy Ross
resided in Eldora.
The family here shows that Betsy
Ross had daughter by the name OF
Hannah, who married Andrew Nit
chell. A sister Of Hannah Ross also
married, and was the grandmother OF
the late President Mckinley. To An
drew and Hannah Mitchell, was born
daughter, Mary Ross Mitchell, who
was married Oct. 8, 1889, to John
White. To this union was born Mar
tina Abigail White. who married Cy-
rus Runkle, both of whom still sur
vive and are highly respected citizens
Of Eldora. There has always been
what might be called the family le-
gend, to the effect that Betsy Ross
did make the first American flag back
in Philadelphia, long ago.

ADMITS HIS DEFALcATIoN.
Ralph Aidrich Breaks Down, Tells OF
Embezziement.

| Embezzlement.
| Des Mofnes, June 29-Ralph Aid
rich. former Des Moines man, and un-
til recently cashier Of the Farmers
bank at Huxley, Iowa, has made a
complete confession of his defalcation
of $4,000 from the Huxley institution
to the police Of Springfield, Ill. He
| was arrested at the Nicholas hotel
there Saturday upon advices from
Sheriff w A. Ricketts, Of Nevada, Story
county. Aldrich will be returned to
Nevada to answer the charges against
him.
A1drich, who is only "a years of
age, blames stock gambling for his
downfall. In his confession he de-
clared that while cashier OF the Hulk
ley bank he lost considerable money
on the board Of trade, and to cover
up his losses, deposited various sums
in the bank to his credit, aggregating
$4,000, and covered the certificates of
deposit with notes Of issue of the
bank, which he signed as cashier,
forging the name Of the president.
This practice continued for one year.
Aldrich said. Two months ago he re-
signed the position Of cashier and came
to Des Moines, where he secured en-
ployment as manager of the Royal
Land company. Officers of that con-
Germ state that Aldrich's account with
them is straight, and that he is not in
debted to them for any amount.
II am willing to return to Huxley and
face the charge of forgery and embez-
element" said Aldrich to the police of
Springfield, according to special dis
patch from there to The Register and
Leader last night. 'Tll have to take
whatever they give men when I get
patch from there last night. ''Pll have to
take whatever they give me when get
no aid from my parents or anyone else.
will not make any effort to conceal
this from my relatives. I have al
ready sent for stationery, and I will
write them as soon as it comes. The
only person I feel sorry for is my
wife"
Continuing, the prisoner said that his
wife and child are now in Labanon, S.
D., and that his parents are residing in
Oregon. When the interview was con-
cluded he was overcome, weeping like
child at the thought Of his wife.

WoodburyCo County Pays More for
Having Nuptial Knots I'm
tied than for Marriages
LAWYERS REAP THE HARVEST
Make More in Unmarryins Than Min
listers Do in Marrying - Records
Show That rs Per Cent of Divorces
Are Secured by Women-Many Di-
vorcees Have Children.
,pecial to T;mes-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Sioux City, June 30.-Marrying costs
money in this free country. Incident
ally divorces cost more money. With
out including the attorneys fees per-
sons who have secured separations IN
Woodbury. county for the court year
which will close July /, have paid ST.
$50 for the. privilege. The report OF the
county clerk shows that from June 30,
1907, to the present date there have
been 11s divorces in Woodbury. county.
In divorce case the average cost is
$40 This combined with the attorneys
fees brings the total cost close to sou
for each case. In 1906 and 1907 there
were 1877 divorces granted.
The county makes more from Its d.
vorces than it does from its marriages,
and the LAWYERS make more than the
preachers The marriage license costs
81. Those who perform the ceremony
usually get at least So, frequently more.
The number OF marriage licenses Is
sued in the year is 765. That means
$765 to the county or $415 less than
that received as costs in divorce cases.
While there have been fewer d.
vorces this year than during the year
preceding. there have also been nine
less marriage licenses, and also less
fol. the county revenue.
oh fhot TX cent
of the divorces We're secured by women
and that in 80 per cent of the appll-
cations the charge Of cruel treatment
was made. Drunkenness and adultery
come in for a fair share. OF the
charges Of cruel treatment at least 10
per cent charge drunkenness, and in
many cases drunkenness is the reason
even tho 1t is not given in the charges.
OF the women who were divorced, 60
per cent had children and the average
number of children is three. Invariably
the courts give the children to the
mother even tho she does not apply
for them or the divorce. In applying
for divorces about 10 per cent of the
women ask for the restoration of the
maiden name and it is almost always
given.
Ninety per cent Of those who have
applied have asked that they be given
permission to re-Wed within year,
and less than 10 per cent of that num-
Der has been given the permission. The
rule Of the courts seems to be that
when the woman has been deserted
with small children to keep and it ap-
pears that She desires to marry for the
protection of her children the permits
sion is given.

SOCIALIST CONVENTION.
State Gathering Attended by Twenty
five DELEGATES,

Des Moines, June sO.-Twenty-e eight
reasons why the so-called capitalist
system Of industry is a failure are
given in the platform adopted by the
state socialist convention held in Des
Moines yesterday. The platform de-
clares that the republican and demo-
cratic parties both get their campaign
funds from the capitalist class and are
run In the interest Of that class
It IS further asserted that the tariff
question, the freight rate question, the
trust smashing system, the income and
inheritance tax question as presented
by the two great parties are merely
quafrels between the capitalist rob-
bers. None Of these issues touches the
interests Of the workers, according to
the socialist platform.
Twenty-Five delegates were present
and j. j. Jacobsen Of Des Moines was
chairman Of the convention. The
nominations made at the June primar-
les were ratified. 3

Cedar Rapids. June 30.-The police,
hacked by the best wishes of four or
FIVE storekeepers here. are looking for
9. willy stranger who was in town Sat
rrday with some blank checks, some
smooth talk and ready pen. The po-
lice are rather hoping that they will
catch the stranger before much pub
licity is given the matter, but they
have few clues to work upon except
the method in which the artist oper-
ated. His method was to go into a
store and purchase about So worth Of
merchandise, paying for the same with
a $34 check signed by a well known
Cedar Rapids firm. In at least four
cases, he received the So worth of mer-
chandise and the $50 change. Then he
left the city.
