spectators and the operators. We are
Informed that another demonstration

The following concerning Miss Sadie
Sherbino is clipped from the Cando,
North Dakota, Herald, and will be of
interest to Miss Sherbino's many friends
in this city:
"The exercises of the seventh grade
at the high school auditorium on We'd
nesday evening attending the presenta-
ton of their certificates of promotion
to the eighth grade by Prof. Jewell
was program that was well worth
going to hear. The young people COW
cred themselves with honors and for an
hour and half entertained their hear
ers in an acceptable manner. This is
one of the largest grades in the school,
there being more than 40 in the class.
Every one of the boys and girls that
were in the seventh grade last year will
pass into the grade higher without an
exception. Prof Jewell made a short
presentation speech after the program
of recitations, music, class prophecies
and Songs. Miss Sadie Sherbino, the
teacher, was very highly complimented
on the work she has accomplished in
the training of this grade during the
past year."

Word was received here Tuesday that
an accident occurred Monday which
came near proving fatal to several peo-
pie. Lewis Rydjord, the Wallace liv-
eryman, was taking Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
Markrude and baby to Bradley in his
automobile, and while going down a. hill
about two miles east of Bradley, the
steering gear broke and the machine
ran into a ditch, turning turtle and
throwing them out. The little baby
was caught under the machine. They
had considerable difficulty in getting
the little one out. Upon examination
it was found that one of the child's
limbs was broken near the hip. The
child is reported to be recovering slowly
at this writing. Lily Argus.

Death of Mrs John Johnson


Mrs. Lima Johnson, wife of John
Johnson of Kidder township, died Tues
day, May 81, at Minneapolis hospital,
where she had been taken for medical
treatment. She was accompanied to
the city by her son, George, and Mrs.
Frank Hawkinson, and few days later
was joined by her husband. Mrs. john
son had been i'll for some time, and
lately her eyesight failed to such an
extent that she was threatened with
total blindnsss. Upon close examina-
ton by prominent Minneapolis special
lists it was Dissolved that tumor of the
brain was causing the trouble, and
nothing but the removal of the tumor
could save her. She submitted to an
operation, but the humorous growth
was found to be too deep to permit its
removal. She survived the operation
only seventeen days, and the best care
and faithful husbands prayers and
anxious watching by her side day and
night could not prevent the coming of
the inevitable hour. She seemed to suf-
fer no pain, and passed peacefully away
at 7:20 p. NJ, May 81, and the sorrow
ing husband returned to Webster with
the remains on June 2, for interment in
the cemetery in Kidder township.
The funeral services were held in the
Swedish Mission church of Kidder town.
SHY at O'Clock p. NJ, June 3, Rev.
Jonas Johnson officiating, assisted by
Revs. Miller and Andrews, The church
was crowded to the doors, and the many
beautiful floral tributes showed the
esteem in which she was held.
Lima Marie Johansdotter was born in
Hakendalen, Norway, Dec. 5, 1868, and
in 1881 arrived with her parents at Rem
vile, Mimi. She came to this city in
1884, and was united in marriage to
John Johnson of Kidder township on
Dec. 20, 1897. She leaves a husband
and eleven children, all of whom were
present at the funeral, to mourn her
loss. She was noble Christian woman,
an active member of the Swedish Mis-
sion church, faithful wife and loving
mother, and leaves a vacancy which
never can be filed. Our most sincere
sympathy is extended to the bereaved
husband and children.
Peace to her memory.

three-cornered fight for the governor
ship, but it is now certain that it will
require the official count to decide the
contest. At 10 o'clock this morning
neither the stalwart or progressive or
CARNATIONS would concede the nominal
ton to Egan. Vessey and Elrod were
running almost even, and both organic
ations had hopes of their respective
candidate overcoming the lead Egan
secured in the early returns. Both
factions are placing their hopes on the

ties appeared to center upon Mr.. Het-
ley, and he received what was probably
the heaviest vote a candidate ever
received in this county.
From the returns received from the
democratic primaries, it is evident that
Miss Lena Ray has received the demo-
cratic nomination for county superin-
tendent of schools.
Chris Grue, stalwart, won an easy
victory over E. A. Merger, insurgent,
in the race for the county authorship.
Chris carried over two-thirds of the
precincts of the county, giving him a
majority of IT'S. When it is considered
that he had opposed to him one of the
most perfectly organized machines,
the run he made was phenomenal.
Il
The Day county "reform" machine
is badly cracked, and will require con-
siderable repairing before it is again in
good working order. The results of the
primaries show conclusively that such
bossism as our "reformers" have i'm
posed will not receive the endorsement
of the voters of the county.
Frank Anderson devoted his enegies
| Tuesday to showing the voters of
Granville how to vote, but for some
reason he failed to cast his usual hyp-
motto spell upon the voters of that pre-
cinct. Despite Franks strenuous eff
! forts Grenville returned nice majority
for Elrod and almost every other stall
wart on the ticket.
Ross Parks is it! After one of the
most sensational fights in the history of
the county, Mr.. Parks has secured the
nomination for state senator. Mr..
Parks is member of the progressive
wing, but our local reform" machine
refused to recognize him and had their
strikers out after his scalp. The man.
ner in which Mr.. Parks put the ere
form" machine out of business goes tc
show that too much machine work does
not always tend to produce the results
the political manipulators desire.
The man who said There's nothing
in a name" never ran for Office in Day
| county.
Egan poled SO votes in Webster City
and township. We trust that this will
convince our reform" f.iel.3s thai
there was more truth than oetry il
what the Reporter and GARNER sale
regarding the Ega' peril.
If Egan receives the nomination fol
governor the republicans of South Da
kota will be confronted with one of the
most serious problems they have evel
been up against.
