The School Election

The school election Tuesday, at which
two members of the Beard of Educa-
ton were elected, turned out to be a
warm affair, and it would be difficult
to conceive more exciting struggle
than occurred during the last two hours
prior to the closing of the polls. At 8
o'clock only Is votes were polled, and
o'clock, the time of closing, total of
ZIG were registered.
A rumor was started to the effect
that there was a scheme on foot to
defeat Jas. G. Rathbun and elect a
dark horse" in the person of S. E.
Bronson. Another ticket consisting of
Jas. G. Rathbun and R. c. Efnor, was
put into the field at O'Clock and then
there was something doing. Mr.. Yea
ger, who was the caucus nominee with
Mr.. Rathbun, gathered up his friends
and got into the game, and things were
moving at lively gait until the polls
closed. Automobiles were brought into
action and the voters, both male and
female, were hustled to the polls as fast
as gasoline engines and frantic chat
feurs could get them there. Almost

Audoyer Rubs it in.

Old Settler Day the Andover aggre-
cation of ball swatters went up against
our local talent on the Webster dia-
mond, and the game that resulted made
the old settlers weep tears of great
joy. During the first part of the game
the sAndoverites chased each other
around the bases while the Webster
boys swatted the atmosphere with
great precision and frequency. In the
latter part of the game conditions were
reversed, but Andover had too big a
lead for Webster to overcome, and won
the game by score of 6 to 8.
The Webster boys decided that they
were entitled to another crack at the
Andover aggregation, and went up to
Andover Sunday for that purpose, but
the second game resulted as disastously
for them as did the first. Both teams
put up fast game, but when the
smoke of battle cleared away they
found that Andover was to the good by
a score of 8 to z.
The Webster boys are still willing to
go up against the Andover aggregation
if given the opportunity.

JOse-Sears NuptiaIs

Wednesday evening, June %, 1910,
at the home of her father, VIM. Sears,
in this city, occurred the marriage of
Miss Francis M. Sears and Robert
Jose, of Medium, Wash.
The home was beautifully decorated
with roses and carnations. The bride
carried large bridal bouquet of white
roses. Miss Joyce Hetley rendered a
beautiful wedding march of her own
composition, and Rev. Hoffman, pastor
of the Congregational church, spoke
the words that made the happy couple
man and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Lin
den, of Lennon. South Dakota, stood
with the couple during the ceremony.
The wedding was very private, only
the members of the family, Mr.. and
Mrs. Linden, Miss Belle McKeown and
Miss Hetley being present.
After the ceremony and congratula-
tons the wedding party was ushered
into the dining room where most
sumptuous wedding supper was served,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jose left on the night
train for Kansas City, where they will
make brief visit and then go to Mr..
jose former home in Chatsworth, Ill.
After their wedding trip they will
return to Webster for a short stay
before going to Washington, where
they will make their home.
Mrs. Jose has lived in Webster about
five years and during that time she has
endeared herself to everyone. She is
just the kind of girl that everybody
likes, modest, accomplished and refined.
Mr.. Jose is a stranger to Webster
people, but he is highly spoken of by
those who know him, and commands
good position from the company by
which he is employed, which is an
excellent recommendation for young
man.
All Webster people will unite with
the wedding party in wishes for a
happy welded life for Mr.. and Mrs.
Jose,

The Sageng Automatic Thresher

The Sageng Automatic Thresher
Upon the request of several of our
citizens the Sageng Automatic Thresher
was retained here to give another dem
onstration on ThSrsday, June 16-Oiu
Settlers Day. The machine was put
into operation before large number of
spectators on the Martin .Hanse farm
on two stacks of wheat which had been
secured by the company last fall for
demonstration purposes but which they
could not thresh on account of the early
snow.
The new machine is gasoline outfit,
an entirely new construction in a
threshing device, being that it has both
the power and separator combined into
one machine, operated by just one man
with four pitchers to furnish the grain
to it. The machine did both good and
fast work, threshing about 300 bushels
of oats in one hour, and it did equally
well on wheat.
To judge from the showing made
here, the Sageng machine is destined
to open new chapter in the threshing
business. Mr.. j. z. Haugen, the COM
pany's expert in this state, left with
the machine Friday of last week for
Lake Preston, where a demonstration
was made Monday and Tuesday.

200 votes were polled in less than two
hours.
Out of the 216 votes cast IL were
thrown out on account of the voters
having written in Mr.. Efnor's name
and not scratching Mr.. Yeager off the
ballot. The count reveals the follow
ing results:

giving Yeager a majority of eight over
Efnor. Rathbun received every vote,
which proves that there was no grounds
for the rumor that Bronson was trying
to pull off dark horse stunt.

is said, contains the admission of the
Secretary of,State Of the United Sta

it's spirit the acceptance by Spain Of

EXCELLENCY, Although it is
your understanding that the note of
the Duke of Almodovar, which you
! left with the President on yesterday
afternoon, is intended to convey an
acceptance by the Spanish Govern
ment of the terms set forth in my
note of the 80 tn ultimo as the base
on which the President would appoin
Commissioners to negotiate and con-
clude with Commissioners on the
part Of Spain treaty of peace, un-
derstand that we concur in the OPT
MON that the Dukes note, doubtless
owing to the various transforma-
tions which it has undergone in the
course of its circuitons transmission
by telegraph and in cipher, is not in
the form in which it has reached the
hands of the President, entirely ex-
plicit.
Under these circumstances, it is
thought that the most direct and GER
tain way Of avoiding misunderstan-
ding is to embody in Protocol to
sipned by us as the representatives,
