of s160. 600 for soldiers to put down
the night riders, there have been
other leaks in the treasury not known
to Democratic rule. We would like
TO hear Auditor James explain the
quite remarkable fact that in the
only two Republican administrations
that have dscredited the state, the
treasury has suspended payment and
its warrants gone below par"
Perhaps the editor Of the Interior
Journal is too young to remember
that the suspension of payment was
made and state warrants went below
par under Governor Browns admin
istration, and that the Bradley adj
ministration found the state over
whelmingly in debt and the treasury
practically empty.
As to his reference to the useless
expenditure of money paid for the
suppression of night riders, we would
like to ask him what he would have
done had he been governor of this
state during this reign Of terror. We
do not believe that any common
wealth since the establishment of this
government was ever called upon to
witness such disgraceful scenes. Men
and women cruelty beaten and fire.
quently murdered, their homes and
their property destroyed by a gang Of
murderous scoundrels, property to
the extent of millions of dollars de-
stroyed by fire, reputable citizens
driven from home into other states.
All done in this proud common
wealth whose motto Is Omitted we
stand. divided we fall" And yet,
Democratic editors. not all Of them,
however, we are thankful to say, will
speak Of the useless expenditure Of
money to suppress such damnable
outrages. The howl that would have
gone up from these same Democratic
journals If Governor Wilson had
made no attempt to suppress might
riding would have been something
terrible to hear.
Perhaps the night riding heritage
handed down by the last administra-
ton, could have been suppressed long
before It was and with much less ex-
pense, had these same Democratic
editors and their allies. the Demo-
cratic officials or committees where
these outrages occurred, united with
Governor Wilson in his efforts to
stamp out this lawlessness. Be 1t
said to the shame OF the county Off
cials of the sections where the night
riders committed their depredatfons,
that there were comparatively a few
instances where the local officials
made any effort to restore order and,
We might add parenthetically that
those outrages occurred principally
in the Gibraltar of the proud Democ-
racy."
We suppose when the Interiar
Journals editor says there have been
'other leaks" in the treasury not
known under Democratic rule, he re-
fers to the money that has leaked in
there. having been recovered from
the various dishonest officials that
have held sway for so many years.
We defy him TO point to a single dol
lar that has been misapplied under
the present administration, and we
can point with pride to many thou
sands of dollars that have been re

MISS DONNA LEE YERMILYA
The Daughter of Fred Vermilya Dies
Suddenly at Trinidad Colorado

After week here at home Mr.. Fred
Vermilya left last Saturday evening on
his return to Trinidad, Colorado, to be
with his wife and daughter and look
after a business he had but. recently
purchased in that city. Miss Donna
Vermilya had been improving in health
to such an extent that both her physi-
clans and friends had reason to believe
continued residence in that climate
would bring her complete recovery. So
her sudden death, which came without
any warning whatever, was severe
shock, not only to her mother who was
at her bedside, but to her father, who
arrived there three hours later to hear
of her death.
Miss Donna Vermilya attended church
on Sunday and also went to the post
office where she stood in line for some
time waiting for the mail. Later she
went out for ride and was feeling
unusually well and cheerful. AT half
past four Monday morning, November
8, 1909, she coughed lightly and called
her mother, who fastened to her side
and upon lighting the gas noticed she
had hemOrrhage of the lungs. She
waved her hand toward the home of the
doctor near by, spoke his telephone
number clearly and then died instantly
without q struggle. Her sudden and
wholly unexpected demise came as a
crushing blow to Mrs. Vermilya who
happened to be entirely alone except for
the presence of a Swede girl who under
stood but little of our language.
Miss Donna Vermilya was born at
KNOXVILLE, Iowa, December 21, 1888,
and had she lived until December 2l
1909, would have been twenty-one years
of age. Her parents brought her to
Audubon when two years OF age and
they had lived here for nineteen years
Until two years ago her health had been
comparatively good, but since that time
it had been gradually failing. She spent
two months in Colorado last winter and
went there in June where she had been
apparently gaining all through the sum-
mer. Her parents arrived here with the
remains on Wednesday morning and
they were at once taken to the residence
of Mr. and Mrs H. w. Wilson, by the
side of the old home and the funeral
services will be held there on Friday con-
Quoted by DR.. Mcintosh of Storm Lake,
a former pastor of the Presbyterian
church of which she had been a faithful
member, and the burial will take place
in the Arlington Heights Cemetery.
Mr. and Mrs. Vermilya have the sym
pathy of q large circle of friends in
this severe and sudden bereavement by
the passing away of their only child.

Silver Wedding Anniversary

Last Tuesday evening the neignbors
and friends of Mr.. and Geo. Everts up
in Lincoln township remembered they
had travelled together for an even quar-
ter of century, and in order that this
worthy couple might not forget the
event and fully appreciate the esteem
in which they are held in that commu-
nifty buggies carriages, and automo-
biles stopped at their door and with
much good cheer filled the spacious
rooms of their home. But George and
his wife were equal to the occasion and
met their friends with genial hospital
ity. 1t was mingling of age and
youth, pioneer and cosmopolitan, an
exchange of present progress and Goth
century comforts compared with the
pinch and poverty and hardships of the
early days. George and his family
were among the pioneers that broke
the virgin sod and made the prairies,
bleak and bare as they were i'll those
days. to blossom like the rose. The
older ones knew that it was to such
fearless and gorgeous families like
this that Audubon county owe honor
And more, too for clean living, hOnora-
BILE dealing, fair play has been the rule
in this household, and a cOmmendable
example to the community. So the
evening passed with looking into the past
for the older ones and glad acceptance
of the present for the younger. The
many presents the gathering left will
ever shine to the recipients with the
brightness of the occasion and a glad
some knowledge that they have lived to
merit them. 49,

New York. Oct 1l- Felix Isman
has purchased the stock in the Phila-

held by Ro6er. Davis. 1t is under
stood IN baseball circles that the
Nagae-Doulin deal is assured for
next season.1ir. Ismau, who is now in

purchased the Davis stock, but he
said it was possible that the stock
was held at $4,000 or $4,000 more
than be originally paid for it.
AIR Isman has been anxious for
some time to obtain the controlling
interest in the Philadelphia National
club and was about to purchase the
stock held by the late Israel Durham
last summer, when publicity concern
ing the Donlin deal interfered. 1t had
been Ismans desire if he should
obtain control to put Mike Donlin,
formerly of the New YorkNatiOnals
and now an actor, in charge of the
Philadelphia team. as playing mana
ger. To do this he had practically
agreed to trade Magee to New York
for Donlin This would have done
away with the services of the present
manager, William Murray, whose
friends. during the summer, prevent
ed Isman from obtaining control.
