Death came as the elimination of a

tne best of health during e last few
months, was quite active previous to
that time. She had host of friends
in keokuk and during the few years of
residence with her nephews endeared
many acquaintance to herself by her
many womanly virtues. She was a
member of st. Francis De Sales Cath
Ollie church.

TO nave eloped Sunday evening with
Guy Pryor, was yesterday afternoon
located by Deputy Sheriff Richards
and Probation Officer Smith and tax
en- to the sheriff's office, where she
was questioned in regard to the part
she was thought to have taken in the
elopement of the pair. mention OF
whlch was made in these columns at
the time.
Miss Mundt denied that she PLAYED
any part in the elopment and in
sisted that she knew nothing of such
an affair. She has been making her
nome with the mother of the Neck
girl, and the two We're very chummy.
Since the disappearance of the
Neck girl clothing belonging to Miss
Mundt was missed and it was
thought for time that she had al.
SO intended to elope. Miss Mundt
entered a strong denial when asked
If she had hand in the affair. She
acknowledged that she was going on
a trip with the Neck girl and had
understood that others were in the
party. When she learned that young
Pryor was to accompany Miss Meek
she refused to go. She stated thaht
Miss Neck offered to get an escort
Tor her on the trip, but she would not
hsten to It, Considerable credence
was placed in the story of Msis Mundt
and her only anxiety seemed to be to
get where she had relatives. She
stated she had brothers in Ottumwa.
Iowa. Telephone communication with
that place was established and
| brother, Fred Mundt who formerly
llved here. answered, saying to send
the girl there and she would be we'll
taken care of. The girl was glad to
get the opportunity to go to Ottumwa,
and she was sent there yesterday
evening.
Miss Mundt is a girl of 16 years,
neat appearing and from reports has
deported herself in ladylike manner.
She came here in October to make her
home with her brother who has since
removed to Ottumwa, and she has
been making her home with the Mecks
since then.
1t has been learned that the clipping
/ couple were in Barry Monday, and it
Is thought that Pryor left there for
Kansas City, and the girl left for
some other point, as they separated
there. They have not been heard from
since they We're sen in Barry.

Our Popular Congressman.

In a previous campaign the Evening
Argus uttered the truth when it said of
Congressman Fordney:
without exception Mr. Fordney is
the best congressman that has ever rep.
resented this county. He has grown
and is growing man. Trained in the
hard school of experience and carving
out success by hard blows rather than
by fortuitous circumstances his success
is the result of his own earnest effort.
AS the result of his business experience
he has been able to grasp readily even
the more intricate propositions coming
before congress and early formed opin-
ions on subjects that were later &C
cepted by others as correct. A case in
point is position on the question of
Cuban reciprocity and by his devotion
to the beet sugar industry which he
believes to be the greatest industry in
the state today. He has won the cog
nomen Sugar Beet Joe," term of
which ne need not be ashamed-nor
IS he."
Every word Of the above is as true
,oday as when given to the public by
he Argus.

1t has turned out about as we have
expected it would-the opposition to
Mr.. Fordney in it's printed literature
scattered broadcast over the district
this week admits that Congressman
Fordney will be re-nominated on
Tuesday next, and that they have
turned their attention to the nomina-
ton two years hence. This is true
If their little booklet "Fordney or
Fitzgerald" is to be believed, as ON
the first page the question is asked,
rs Joseph w. Fordney the man who
will best represent the Sth congress-
ional district of Michigan in the 62nd
congress?" AS the nomination for the
Sind congress will not be made for
two years 1t is fair to presume that
they have given up hope of defeating
Cong. Fordney for denomination to
the 61st congress on Tuesday next.
1t is wise conclusion and we wish
to congratulate the friends of Mr..
Fitzgerald in reaching the same be-
fore the enrolled Republicans force
the fact upon them at the polls on
Tuesday next.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1908-08-28

The compiler of the pamphlet cir
culated this week in the interests OF
the candidacy of Mr.. Fitzgerald is
evidently little acquainted with af-
fairs in this district as he speaks of
Mr.. Fordney's -four terms in con-
gress" and says he sis not entitled to
fifth term" That statement is
about as near the truth as most of
those made throughout it's pages.
Almost any ten year old boy in the
district could have told the author
that Mr.. Fordney is now serving his
fifth term and the vote on Tuesday
will show that the Republicans Of the
district believe he has earned and
deserves another term.

Fordney Best Man.
The Saginaw Exponent, the labor pa
per of Michigan, says editorially:

The Saginaw Exponent, the labor pa
per of Michigan, says editorially:
There comes time when a man'a
usefulness must be recognized anC
when this recognition is not confined
by panty lines nor limited in any
partisan sense. Politics is made tt
play too important part in econ
omic development and the greater
the degree of political interference
the least is the accomplishment.
When community has ON foot g
proposition that is alike benefit ito
every citizen of that community Il
Is time party lines were ignored anG
the efforts made to secure that re.
suit confined to the lime of least re-
sistance.
The Exponent would be unworthy
the name of an independent paper ii
it did not rise superior to the petty
hamperings of party and accord hon
or where honor Is manifestly due
and to advocate the proper course to
pursue under the honest circum-
stances and the firm convictions
There can be NO doubt in the mind
of any unbiased citizen, in the brain
of anyone not hide+bound by party
nor chained to political intrigues, but
that Congressman Nordney is the
man most eminently fitted by train
ing, experience and sympathy to Sc
cure the largest results in Congress
for the twenty foot channel.
The paramount Importance Of the
deep water has long since passed the
stage of controversy. 10 was indors-
ed in glowing terms by non-par-
tisan gathering of the most sub
stantial business men of the valley.
And the present congressman with
his undisputed influence with the
speaker, his knowledge of the subject
his duty to his people in his home
town stands forth the logical per-
son to secure from the federal gov
eminent that necessary public i'm
provement.
For an untried man to assay the
task would mean to set it back for
years. 1t would have to be delayed
until a new man in congress had Sc
cured foot-hold and displayed abil-
ity to be returned more than once be-
fore he could hope to be recognized
as an important factor in federal
legislation. All this Congressman
Fordney has attained and in conse-
quence is of vastly more potential
use to the district than ever before.
To retire that ability and that ac-
quired prestige at this time would
be suicidal, absurd at any
time.
Saginaw and the contiguous coun-
lies of the eighth congressional dis
trict cannot afford to jeopardize the
prospect Of the most important COM
nercial factor proposed in the last
TWO decades for the sake of dirty
nor to enter into any sort |
If agreement for the washing of
