For Register Of Deeds.

MILBANK, S. D., May Is, 1908.
To THE VOTERS o GRANT COUNTY:
Having announced myself as a can.
didate for the Office of Register OF
Deeds, will briefly state to the people
OF Grant county on what grounds |
kindly ask the support of the voters
for the nomin alton of the Office to
which | aspire. | entered the Register
of Deeds Office in August, 1894, serv.
ing one year and four months as
clerk in said Office under my brother-in.
law, Alfred Mortell, without compen-
sation, simply learning the business.
In December. 1895, l was appointed
Deputy County Auditor under County
Auditor Nels Forsberg, with salary
of s35 per month, which position
held .or two years. Next | was ap-
pointed Deputy Register of Deeds un.
der Mr.. F. w. Meehan, serving for
over three years, and, subsequently,
under Mr.. E. P. Brockman for the full
term OF four years, and | low hold the
same position under Reg lister of Deed s
W. S. Nixon. During all of this time
| have been faithful servant to the
people OF Grant county, without party
choice or party utilization, and the
people have always found me on deck
to promptly attend to business per-
tanning to the office. In 1895, when
the Court House was burned, and the
county lost several record books, I
together with Alfred Mortell, la
bored hard to replace the several
records which were lost: this we
accomplished by hard work, thereby
saving to the taxpayers OF the county
thousands of dollars. and prevented
the necessity of being forced to buy
the Geo. NJ. Clark SEQ of abstra act
books: and this we did without
cent of compens alton. The people
should know this, and will know it,
and they will place the credit to the
one who is entitled to it.
| have never held an elective office
and never drew q cent of money from
Grant county without giving full value
received for the same, as will be
found by my sworn bills in the office
of the County Auditor. During these
fourteen years of hard labor I have
gained a thorough knowledge of the
business OF the Office, thereby giving
to the people the best service. My
record made during this time is open
to inspection of every one. The people
will know it, and ought to know it,
and give the Office to the one entitled
to it.
If the people of Grant county by
their votes on June, 9th next nominate
me for the Office of Register of Deeds,
promise, when elected, to faithfully
discharge the duties of that Office in
the same manner as | have done
in the past. Assuring my friends, ard
voters gener ally, that the support will
be most fully and gratefully ap-
preciated, remain,
Very respectfully yours,
FRANZ WENDLAND.

A sad accident happened in the
family of Charles Hart in Mel

little two yearold son of Mr..
Hart picked up an old bottle that
had been thrown away, and
which contained some formalda-
hyde, of which he drank. Rene.
dies were applied when the truth
was discovered, but the child
only lived until Wednesday

held that the village should have

Blacketer is now agent for the
Winnebago Nursery Company,
so that after having lighted the
world he is now busy trying to
beautify it with trees and shrub
berry. The Winnebago company
has the advantage in this region
of being able to furnish young
trees that have been grown in a
climate just like our own and in
soil and other conditions similar
to that in which they are to be
transplanted. This is an impor-
tant point, which those who
have in times past purchased
southern nursery stock have
learned to their cost. When you
give your orders to Blacketer,
both the nursery and the agent
csn be depended upon to give
you square deal.

Bryan Of Nebraska, not of Florida.

atty Of any public man in America.
Magnetic, witty, transparency sin.
cere, without a grain of malice in his
makeup, unpretentious and democrat.
ic, never giving way to anger and
withal absolutely clean in his private
and public life, he is as a man an
honor to that Americanism Of which
he Is SO typical a product. One Of the
most admirable things about him is
that he meets defeat without bitter
ness and bears abuse without resent.
ment. 1t is the same quality in him
that makes him so thoroughly enjoy a
Joke at his W expense.
This Bryan-the man apart from the
politician-enjoys the esteem Of all
Americans. Even when they abuse his
policies or ridicule his paramount
issues they yet feel a certain secret
pride in his genius and his character.
Fortunately mere party lines mean
less and less in this country and man.
hood means more and more. Bryan
has manhood. and of a high type at
that, a fact which all other real men
are ready %cheerfully to affirm. Wheth.
err he is ever president or not, he has
won a place in the worlds heart. Aft.
err all, that may be a better and more
enduring title to fame than the holding
of any office whatsoever.

Dainty Neckwear.

In neck pieces there is q great range
of articles from which to select. The
woman who goes in for the white col
lar will find that she can get French
collars embroidered in blue. yellow,
green or purple. and that there are eX-
Quisite little ties of lace with a touch
of color to match. These are dread
fully expensive. for the collar in many
cases is s. Eut the finish is charm
ing. and the collar and tie can be
with all waists. There is a very
delicate white linen collar beautifully
hand worked in colors that is special
ly to wear With the lingerie waists,
and this is but Il sample of the lovely
collars that can he bought.

Congressman at Thirty.

Mr.. Bryan was born the year of Lin
coins first election, 1860. He was vale,
dictorian Of his college class, studied
law with Lyman Trumbull. Went to
congress at the age of thirty. sprang
into national fame by a speech on the
tariff and Won his first nomination to
the presidency at the g Of thirty-six
by a speech on free silver. He has
been lawyer, editor. politician and lee
turer. Once he narrowly missed being
a preacher. and even now he says he
would rather talk religion thar poll
ties. He was even Il baseball pitcher,
and a fairly good one. That was in his
salad days. when he wore a beard to
make him look older.
One Of the notable characteristics of
the Democratic leader Is the lightning
like rapidity with which he makes de
cisions. He can say mo" as quickly
and decisively as any man in public
life. His fighting nose and jaw and
his wide, thin Tipped mouth are not
false alarms.

him for chief magistrate, and If they
don't get him it will not be through
lack Of opportunity. Mere defeats will
never prevent him from giving the de.
luded voters still another chance to
retrieve their past mistakes and de-

will not be his fault If they still re-

delight of the Chautauquas.'

Bryan's forms of recreation are farm
ing-by proxy-shooting ducks and
making speeches. His regular occupa-
lions are soliciting subscriptions for
the CommOner and running for presi.
dent. He tells good stories and has a
new stock from his trip around the
world. AS the Emperor Titus was
called 'the delight Of mankind" Mr..
Bryan could be called 1.-The delight of
the Chautauquas."
Everybody knows. Of course, about
the Bryan country home. His farm on
the outskirts Of Lincoln Is almost as
famous as Horace's Sabine farm. The
only difference Is that Horace raised
poetry On his place, while Bryan raises
''aristocratic" hens.
Bryan's great antelope in history
was Brutus-both orators and both de.
feated! Both also wrote about their
travels, but Brutus' STUFF was so plat.
tudinous and commonplace that 1t has
not survived.
Mrs. Bryan was a classmate Of her

ton, an intellectual woman who is

and in this regard Bryan Is near the
summit.
This much can be said of William j.
Bryan with truth: He is actually a
great man. He is one CT the first, II
not the very first, Of living orators.
He is a potent moral force. He took
advanced ground and has seen the
country come to his principles. Those
who are nearest to him know him to
be white all through-brilliant, gener-
Gus, kindly, manly and likable In every
way.
But, as to whether he is ever to be
president or not, that remains to be
determined by fate. the Democratic
party and the American electorate,
