The AnnunI Set-To

As the time for the village election
approaches the license and no Ii
cense forces are beginning to
line up for their annual set

their strength of a year ago, the drys
expect another victory, but the other
side don't intend to letthe ei. ct Ga by
default. Worthington has never been
dry more than one year d. the time,
and the indications ar that it will
maintain its record. The effect on
business has not bee' such as to make
any converts among the business men
and while the town has oeen -.ab,o-
lutely dry so far as iIlict selling is
concerned, that has not been the case
in regard to consumption. There have
more arrests for drunkenness the past
year thau ordinary. When the time
to discuss the license question arrives

that has been investigating the deaths
Of the two men.
1t had been suggested that the two
men had committed suicide or that
there had been foul play The naval
board learned that Mcintosh had
fallen overheard and that the tug had
turned around and had been search

when Steenerson, thinking he saw his
comrades body, reached for it and
losing his balance, fell overheard. He
cried for help and tried to reach the
life buoy which had been thrown out
but the buoy drifted rapidly away and
Steenerson sank. These facts. the

Authoress Duly Appreciated.

Atwo-and-a-half hour drama, en-
titled marie Therese," is to be pre-
sented in the auditorium of the Acad-
emy of Our Lady, in Chicago, on
Friday evening of this week. This
drama is the work of Mrs. Edith
Palmer Putnam, of this city, and is
receiving very high concentrations
from those having the production in
charge. The play is written in four
acts, q prologue, and an epilogue, and
covers the reign OF Marie Therese
from her coronation to her death, de-
plchng the principal scenes of her
reign, and introducing as characters
all the prominent men and women of
that period who were in any way as
soclased with the great empress of
Austria. The cast calls for fifty
prominent characters, and as many
subordinate parts, and as no expense
nor pains is to be spared in staging
and costuming, the production prom
lses to be of unusual interest. Mrs.
Putnam has been strongly urged to
be present on the occasion of it's first
staging, but has not fully decided up
On doing so. The drama will be re-
peated as matinee on the afternoon
on Saturday, Feb. 22nd.

". J. Dyer At Rest

W. j. Dyer, the gunsmith, died
last Friday at the poor house, after
an illness of a few days duration,
aged 20 years. The funeral was held
Monday from the undertaking rooms
of Chaney & Mackay. Mr.. Dyer was
one of the odd characters of Worth
ington. He was a single man and
lead very retired life. While he
was first class workman, and seemed
to have plenty of work, he was so
modest in his charges that he led a
hand to mouth existence. The same
characteristic prevailed in all his re-
lations and he probably did not have
an enemy On earth.

DECLINES REELECTION
Prof. II. R. Edwards Has Con
cluded to Sever His Connec-
ton with the Worthins-
ton School

cation held some time ago: Prof. 81. r.
Edwards was elected superintendent
for another year. After considering
the matter for some time--he conclud-
ed not to accept a reelection, but will
SEEK another field, and already has
several places under consid ertion. His
many friends will regret that he has
concluded to leave Worthington.
During his three years as superin'
tendent of the Worthington schools
Prof. Edwards has done excellent
work, and has strengthened the
school IN many respects. The at
tendance in the high school has been
increased from Is to III, and the first
class he entered will graduate next
year with a membership of possibly
25, the highest in the history of the
school. His management of school
athlethics has had much to do with
the increased interest in school work.
As ali indication of his high standing
as an educator it may be noted that
he has been on the staff of state sum-
mer school for teachers at Mankato
since it's establishment. His consist
ent character as Christian gentle
man has gained him the esteem of
the people of Worthington.

ing but kindness to say for any Of
the Councils 1 have worked under, as
think they all have always acted as
they thought for the best interests of
the village. Any Council as we'll as
an individual might do things they
would later regret, out to my know
ledge there is nothing the present
Council can have to regret.
In regard to the condition of the
village finances as published in the

cannot understand the object of pub

without ground. If anyone should
be interested in the condition of the

should be pleased to have them call
and will try to show up the same in
fair and impartial manner.
will further state that just before
the close of the present administration
a full and complete financial state

be of interest to every voter and citi-

CANNOT OPEN M;NCn's MAIL
Parents or Guardians Must First Get
Chifd's Consent.

In an opinion just made public
Assistant Attorney General Weeks
holds that parents or guardians can
not open letters or mail addressed to
minor children under their care This
Is when the consent of the minor chill
dren is not given.
The, same prohibition, Mr.. Weeks
solss, extends .osnr1Essspals OF schools
and those at the head of colleges and
other institutions of learning. Even
the consent Of the pupils parents or
guardians is not sufficient. The party
receiving the letter alone can give
such authorization.
The opinion was given privately to
a school official in Minnesota who has
many minor children under his care
and whose right to scrutinize their
correspondence was questioned.

Roses County History.

For nearly year Mr.. A. P. Rose
has been engaged in gathering data
for sand writing the history of MOBILES
county, and he has now progressed
far enough to give US an idea of the
magnitude of the work. Although so
much time has been spent on it 1t
is only partially completed. On the
last page of this paper is to be found
the large advertisement, in which is
given the table of contents of so
much Of the work as has been written.
In its table of contents the subjects
treated are, of course, barely men
toned. But by reading it one gains
the idea that Mr.. Rose has made an
exhaustive research and is preparing a
workas y saiat5siilu prove of great value 20
all residents of the county. The Ad.
vance has been permitted to read
portion of the manuscript, and
we desire to state. that the WOE k. can
not be too highly reco mmended. For
reasons stated in the advertisement it
is necessary to secure the orders for
the work in advance of publication,
and Mr.. Rose now asks those inter
ested to place their orders. Read the
table of contents and see if it does
not forecast a valuable publication.

Letter From J. H. Scott.

Los Angeles. Gal, FEB. 1O, I9Oo.
Editor Advances:
Since writing you last we have be-
come more familiar with the city Of
Los Angeles, its surroundings, and
prod ductions of the soil. Everything
grows here that can be grown any
where, but not all On the same pieces
of land. Some localities praduce one
thing and some another, varying
more than Minnesota and Iowa soils.
Some land is good for raising oranges
and lemons, while land only a few
rods away would not pay for the
planting of them, and so on. All
different localities are adapted for
something, and bring great returns
and profits when successful. Many
men make failures here On account of
not taking time to learn the nature of
the sell and what it is adapted to
"a ise. =.
The Chamber of Commerce, 13O
East Broadway, shows the create st
variety of produce, giving date and
place, where raised, and in many in
stances name OF the party who raised
the articles. Every kind Of grain,
fruit and vegetables are shown, and
a free lecture is given every day at 2
O'Clock, and on Saturdays lecture,
with music, singing, and NOV
ing pictures, showing different views
of California, which are fine and cost
nothing.
Well, we have visited many places
of interest in and about Los Angeles.
Hollywood is a a fine suburb town,
with many fine buildings, and wealthy
people live there. Sherman is a town
of manufaeting, street cars and elect
ric plants and many large wheat
farms. Saint Marica a coast town
and Ojion Park, Venice, and many
places along the beach We have visited
are too numerous to mention.
The weather has been most delight
full since we came here, ranging from
Sc to 64. We had one week of rainy
weather, which has been of great
benefit to the farmers and fruit grow
ers. Now all are happy.
We called On Mr.. A. I. Miller, first
editor of the Advance in early days,
now running the Los Angeles News,
on Downer and 22 avenue East. We
also have met Howard Chamberlain,
at one time resident of Ransom
township, now contractor of this
city. We have met Hugh Mitchell's
brother and his mother, who is 50
years old aud feels quite we'll for her
age. They were glad to meet US and
remembered us we'll, although it had
been several years since we met.
Hugh Mitchell lives in BigeIow town
ship and is an old settler. Must now
say goodbye.

Regarding Prize Money.

st. Anthony Park, st. Paul, Mimi,
February IA, 1908.
Supt. L. W. Abbott,
Worthlngton, MINI.
Dear Sir:
We at last are able to send the
NJ one3 for the winners of the Indus
trial Contest prizes. We are sending
1t, with the exception of the prizes for
fruit, in check to you. We would
make the checks payable to the con-
testants, but we are afraid that there
would be too much exchange on these
small amounts in the country banks,
which would be disappointment to
the pupils. 1t will be necessary for
us to hand p receipts for all of this
money to the parties who donated it.
We have made out receipts for each
prize and would like to have contest
ant sign the receipt giving age and
postoffice address, and return it to
you or to US. We are sending you
two lists, which I think are complete,
Of the contestants in your county.
One is for Your own use and I wish
you would fill in the postofice ad-
dresses of the contestants on the other
and return to me. We appreciate
very much what what you have done
in this contest and hope you will not
be discouraged by our delay in get
ting the prizes, which could not well
he avoided under the circumstances.
Owing to the financial difficulty in
Minneapolis the grain men were quite
slow in getting the money to US. In
fact We did not get it from them un-
I'll the 18th of February
Very truly yours,
