Stock Show

An exhibition of the Importance
of the coming Live Stock Show to
be given at South St. Paul, Novem-
Der 18th to goth, having as it does
the object of raising the standard
of livestock production, naturally
meets with favorable notice and
the management of the show is
now predicting all attendance at
the coming exhibition far in excess
of that which marked the initial
venture last year.
The large attendance will be JUS
titled by the fact that the show this
year will surpass in every way the
opening exhibition given last year,
which in itself was conceded to be
superior to any initial of similar
character in the country.
Lectures and demonstrations will
be valuable part of the program
of the show. Included III this
feature of the show will be a talk
on Tuberculosis" by DR.. O. E.
Dyson. DR.. M. H. Reynolds will
speak on Hog Cholera and G. E.
McKerrow on sheep raising. Prof.
D. d: Wayne is on the program for
an illustrated lecture on Agricul-
tural Farming. Prof. Geo. E. Day
of Guelph, Ontario, will deliver a
lecture on some interesting topic
Other discourses of equal interest
have been provided.
An exhibition of Percheron, Bel
gium and French Coach horses will
be an added attraction this year and
this feature will be prominent in
all future shows.
The program will contain attrac-
tions in the amusement line which
have been added with a view to
making the show popular with all
classes.

Homestead Lands

While people are rushing to the
opening of Indian reservations in
remote parts of the country and
going to Canada to secure lands
many miles from railroad facilities,
the fact remains that this portion
of Minnesota still contains large
tracts subject to homestead entry,
which, were it in remote portions
of the Canadian domains, would be
eagerly sought for.
Being right at hand, in close
proximity to schools, churches, in
some instances to rural routes, to
waterways and highways, and

Don't it pay to vote the Repub-
1ican ticket?
Jacob F. jacobson, Republican
candidate for governor went down
in defeat and John A. Johnson is
the next governor of this, the best
state in the Union. The third
term bugaboo had no effect in the
Minnesota campaign while Mich
igan refused to stand for a third
term. Governor Johnson carried
St. Louis county by about 1900,
Duluth rolling up an extra large
vote for the Democratic candidate,
as did all the large cities of the
state.
All the Republican state and
county officers are eletected by safe
pluralities. The legislature is
Republican and the Republicans
also have majority in the nation
al body. Several surprises were
sprung throughout the land. Jos.
Cannon, speaker of the house, up
on whose shoulders was laid all the
shortcomings of the country for
several years was reelected with
good round majority and is again
slated for the speaker. Missouri
went Republican as did also New
York City, unprecedented occur
ances.
The election in Ely was quite
animated, more interest having
been taken than for years. A
fairly large vote was polled. The
mines closed down for the day and

several of the business houses also
were locked. The boards in the
several wards finished their work
in good season. Returns came in
during the night and at 2 O'Clock
it was pretty we'll settled that Taft
was elected. Some hopes for Jacob
son were also thrown out, but the
morning after dispelled these.
The Ely Club had direct wire
connection and threw the returns
on the window by means of stere-
optican. This innovation was ap-
preciated by large crowd and the
street was lined with people until
late in the night. The Lyceum
Theatre also showed returns and
enjoyed full house.
The taxation amendment to the
constitution was in all probability
defeated, although up to the hour
of going to press it is not absolutely
certain. In other sections of the
state a great many failed to vote on
the amendments and as it requires
majority of all the votes cast,
there is some apprehension in re-
CARDS to the amendment having
been defeated.

WIFE SAYS O'BRIfN
WAS GAY LOTHARIO.
Stenographer's Name Mentioned
Frequently in Testimony at
Divorce Trial

new phase Of the divorce suit of
Captain Charles F. O'Brien against
Mary Alice O'Brien was opened up yes
terday, Colonel Cabel H. Maddox being
given rest. War was carried into
the enemy's camp, all the. testimony
having to do with the alleged miscon-
duct of O'Brien himself. against whom
his wife has filed a cross complaint
asking that she be granted a divorce.
The name of Miss Catherine Hagerty,
the stenographer whom O'Brien re-
fused to discharge at his wife's be-
hest. was frequently mentioned In the
testimony.
Mrs de Pierris, who formerly lived
at 1886 Waller. street, where Miss
Hagerty also lived with her mother.
was the first witness. She said she
had often seen O'Brien visiting Miss
Hagerty's apartment The first time
was the day after the earthquake in
April, 1905. Since that date o'Brien
had frequently visited the apartment
sometimes two or three times in one
week, up to March OF this year. The
witness detailed some of these occa-
sions. One evening OBrien came in
about $50 and brushed past Mrs. de
Pierris, who was standing in the hall
way. Another time he came in at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. and Mrs. de
PierriS said she heard him there at S
o'clock. She did not know what time
he left. She told OF third occasion
when she said she heard talking in
Miss Hagerty's bedroom, which was
over her own. early in the morning. At
terward she heard some one go out
of the house, and looking through. the
window said she saw O'Brien walking
away with grip in his hand and
his overcoat over his arm. This was
the morning of December s., and the
witness said twas just getting light.
Policeman James L. Dow, who said
he had known Miss Hagerty and her
mother for seven years. testified that
he stayed in the same house with them
after the earthquake, and on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday of that week
O'Brien had dinner with the Hagertys.
Dow also stated that he saw OBrien
leave the house at about Sis o'clock
on morning in November, 1905.
In cross examination Dow said that
so far as he knew Miss Hagerty is
entirely respectable, but he declared
he had asked his wife to stop associat-
ing with her. This point was pur-
sued further on redirect examination
and Dow said he had made this request
to his wife because on the day after
the earthquake. when Miss Hagerty
was taken i'll, he saw O'Brien in her
bedroom administering medicine to her
There was only morning session

TINY LAD SEEKS
E[OP|NG MOTHER
Declares He Is Lonely and Hopes
to Find Her and Take Her
Home Again

Wandering about the streets of the
city, carrying with him picture Of
the mother who has deserted him and
still hoping that If he finds her he may
induce her to return, Joseph Albitz, a
wee lad who can speak but imperfect
English, yesterday presented picture
of utmost despair. In his pathetic dark
eyes was the shadow OF a grief he Is
yet too young to fully comprehend, and
there were tears in their velvet depths
as he told in his childish way the story
of dishonored home, of the flight OF
mother from her husband and children
"She has not come back yet" he
murmured In conclusion, but there was
a wistfulness In his voice that told of a
spark of hope still burning.
Mrs. Albitz disappeared from her
home at 1854 Chestnut street last
Wednesday and has not since been
heard from. A few days before a
lodger, Jack Bambach, had come to the
house and he also left shortly after
Mrs. Albitz went away, the conclusion
of the deserted husband being that
they eloped together. Bambach has
not reported at his place of work, and
the two are now believed to have left
the city. Albitz is blacksmith and
Mrs. Albitz is the stepmother of little
Joseph and a Is year old sister. She
left them behind, but took with her a
younger boy and girl and the baby of
the household.
Papa does not want mamma back"

that the money transactions were kept

ment that Greif told him of depositing

Griefs testimony relative to what dis
position he made of the check after
it had been turned over to him by
Judge Seawell.
The fact that Tax Collector Smith
die not pay the city's money into the
treasury until February Z, 1904, not
withstanding that he is credited with
having paid il on December l. 1909
gives rise to a suspicion that Smith.
who is in the penitentiary at Folsom
for later robbing the city, might be
able to tell what became of the miss
ing s37.572.79. 1t is argued that after
Greif deposited the check for 1884,
572.79 and Wertheimer had credited
the tax collector with $4,000, the
state controller with $133, 900 and the
county clerks special fund with $3z-
572.79, Smith obtained possession of
the check. He might have obtained
the check by explainingsthat he would
collect il, give the controller check
for his portion of the money for the
state and bring back the balance to
the treasury. That Smith did not
deposit the tax collectors share, 1884,
600, until February 7, 1904, supports
this theory. When ordered to turn
over the city money held by him Smith
deposited $4,000, and 1t may have
been that he did not account for the
37,572-2s that belonged to the spe-
cial fund and no one thought to ask
him for ii.
Against this theory is advanced the
argument that If the fund was cred
tied with 537,572.29 and the money
never turned into the treasury the
shortage would have been discovered
