the tainted atmosphere of a Jail cell, j.

of having ATTEMPTED to criminally as

baby daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. d. G..

attempt at assault took place at dusk
in the shade of the high school build

and it was prevented by Oscar Lind

Reports received from the child's

that she had not been injured. The

known, her father having formerly
been a member of the firm of Mabie &

The little girl had gone to play in the

Mabie home, making her gift offerings
and giving her pennies to win hel

Mason City, Sept. pa big feature
of the North Iowa District fair,' which
opens here tomorrow. will be an exhibit
of butter and dairy products The but
ter display will be especially remark
same display at the recent state fair in
Des Moines. Already us tubs of butt
ter have been received for this big
dairy show and they have come from
creamery and dairymen! all over the
middle west. Most of the eXhibitorS'of
butter at the state fair at Minneapolis
sent the same exhibit here for the fair
and a large number of the Des Moines
exhibitors also have entered for the
contest here. 1t is interesting to note
that the entries for this big butter
show have come largelyA from points
outside of. Iowa. Minnesotas alone has
sent more than twice'as many tubs as
Iowa and other entries have comefroin
both the Dakotas. Nebraska. Missouri,
Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin.
j. j. Roach, assistant superintendent
of the exhibit, q man with wide ex-
perience in the Judging and handling
of dairy products, says that the display
here will be one of the best and big
gest ever made in the middle west. All
of the entries are not yet in and many
are arriving, but already the exhibit Is
| larger than that at the state fair. 1t
is expected that the total display will
be at least $50 tubs
| This great display of butter and
| dairy products was secured by deVot-
ing special attention to the matter.
| One day of the fair was set aside as
dairy day" and the fact was widely
advertised. The matter was taken up
and given prominent mention by dairy
| journals from New York to Minneapo-
lis and as a result the creamery and
dairymen all over the country knew
about it, They appreciated the action
of the local fair and responded accord
ingly.
All of the great amount of butter for
the display can not be exhibited at the
fair grounds, but samples of each will
be on view in a monster glass refrig-
orator at the grounds. The tubs them
selves will be kept in cold storage down
town. Assistant Dairy Commissioner
Ross will do the judging and awarding
of prizes, which are in every case sub
stanital.
Another interesting exhibit at tbs
. fair will be that now being arranged
! for by Prof. l.. H. Pammell. of Ames
who will show the safile collection o.
: weeds that was exhibited by Iowa Stat
College at the state fair. This eXhibi
, is one of unusual interest and include!
a large display of the common poison
Gus weeds in Iowa Miss Charlotte
King. Professor Pammell's assistant
will be in charge of the exhibit here.

CONDITIONS CHAIGniG.
Day of New Conditions Has Ar.
rived and Day of 500 Acre
Farmer Has Passed.

There are many kinds of farm
ers-the retired farmer, the front
porch farmer, the telephone farm
er, and the real farmer. Webster
recognizes, but one kind of farm
er-the man who tills the soil.
Farming by proxy has become
prolific field for speculation and
investment, but the so-called
high price OF living, which it is
believed is here to stay, is fore
ing new conditions. The man who
wants land for his own use, to-
till with his own hands can af-,
ford to pay little more than
can the land speculator. And so
the carving up of large farms has
already begun in Indiana, espec-
tally near large cities or along
traction lines.
But these people are realizing
that the product of ten acres now
is worth what that OF twenty
acres used to be. The result is
"a growing demand for small
tracts of land. A man near this
city recently purchased a tract OF
80 acres and was compelled to 60
in debt for it. The debt worried
him because he had carried it
long, and he was ready to make
some sacrifice in order to dispose
OF the land. A friend said, Don't
do it. Offer half of the land for a
little more than you paid, and
will take part of it myself and
can find buyers for the rest"
This was done, and the man who
was worried is smiling now. He
has 40 acres clear, is out OF debt,
and made a small profit on the
MISUNDERSTANDING News.

and 80, respectively A hint OF
the cause OF this result, is OBJ
tanned from the statement of Off
Gals at the voting place, who
said that a great bulk of Reprlhli-
can tickets, had voted fol all OF
the candidates excepting for clerk
and treasurer which were
scratched. V. p. Kirk, the Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor was
beaten in the same manner, as
was Wenzler in the second ward.
Republicans Gain Power.
The result of the election Tues
day, is a distinct gain in city
power for the Republicans. Dur
ing the past four years the coun-
Gil has been nominally Republi-
can but with a Democratic may
or. The rev council will have
the same majority, of ) to 2, but
will have the great advantage of
a Republican mayor. The num-
Der of offices have been evenly
divided, four and four, the change
in the new council being the sub
stitution OF a Republican, for a
Republican clerk. The new con-
dition will be that the city bust
ness will be transacted by Re-
publicans, and the city books will
be kept by Democrats. The
power of the Republican policies
in the city as a whole, is display
ed by the majorities given the
two candidates for councilmen at
large. over the Democrats. The
Republican candidates are manu-
facturers, and employers of la
Dor, while their Democratic OPP
ponents are both retired farmers.

Republican administration for
the next four years, beginning
with Jan. /, 1910, for the city OF
Plymouth. By majorities which
surprised the candidates them
selves, Republican mayor, and
three Republican councilmen
were elected Tuesday. Owing
to the heavy scratching done in
al three wards, the counting of
the votes was laborious. and
complete returns had not been
received until after 900 O'Clock
p. m. Tuesday. From the first ev-
teryti,ing ran ior the Republican
candidate for mayor, Charles S.
Cleveland. president OF the Ed
gerton Manufacturing Co. The
entire manufacturers ticket, with
the exception of Frank CulliSon,
was elected. Mr.. CulIison was
beaten by majority of 80, after
putting up an excellent fight in
ward which is normally 50
Democratic, which was shown by
the poll books Tuesday. Bos-
worth was beaten by VanGilder
for councilman OF the third ward
by majority of 2f.
Four Votes Decide.
The next city council, will be
Republican by an elected major
ity of four votes. Three votes
the other way for John B. Bow
ell, the councilman elect OF the
second ward, would have elected
his opponent, Fred Wenzler, and
made the next council Demo-
cratic. As it was, Mr.. Bowel
won. after a breath catching race,
by four votes-and the next
council will be Republican.
The two Republican candidates
for oouncil-men-at-large, Won
after making splendid race in the
city. Swindell received the high
est number of votes 537. CliZbe
next with SIS. The Democrat
Kyle came next with 46S, and
Richard ran low with 416. The
appeal in favor of the factory
men had told, and Cleveland.
Swindell, and Clizbe won with
clean sweeps.
Clerk and Treasurer Suffer.

clerk, George Hendricks, and

were the heaviest losers on the
Republican ticket and were beat

share in fig ting through the
campaign, and was ably assisted
by City Secretary DR.. n. B. As
plnall. The committeeman, Fred
Koontz in first, Or. Loring in
second, and T. NJ. McCrory in
the third wards, did a great part
OF the heavy work" for the old
party. Among the private work
erS must be mentioned Charles
Ashley and Monroe Steiner, who
are always for the party straight
through, and are always seen
working for its candidates. Re-
publlcans were at work Tues
day, harder at work than ever be-
fore. They went in to win. Be
sides the above men, almost ev-
cry Republican in the ranks was
a worker, and pulled together for
one OF the incest victories in the
city.
Democrat Beat Kyle.
The Tribune Tuesday evening
predicted the election of the tick
ct Just as 1t occurred with the ex-
ception OF TIN failure OF Frank
Cullison to win in the first ward.
Mr.. Cullison made a noble fight,
and is to be commended on his
campaign He is a good citizen
md deserved to win. The defeat
OF Kyle, and election of Clizbe
as Councilman-at-large, is due
partly to the efforts of the Ply
mouth Democrat to elect Kyle
and defeat Clzbe, is the gossip
today.
Altogether it is good list OF
officers, and should do things for
the city OF Plymouth.
