The body was discovered on a sand
bar near the mouth of the Potwin
sewer. 1t had been washed up in such
a way that it was about half exposed
to the air. AS a consequence of the
extremely warm weather, the exposed
portions of the body were so badly de-
embalm the body or prepare it for a
regular funeral service. DR.. H. H.
Keith, coroner, who superintended the
removal of the body from the river,
announced at the time that the burial
would have to be made at once-prob-
ably tonight
The exact manner in which Mead
Mclaughlin came to his death, will
probably remain mystery. The popU-
lar belief that he was stricken with a
fainting spell or sunstroke as he stood
on the bank of the river, seems to be
the most plausible theory. He was d
good swimmer, and friends and rela-
tives who were within sight of the spot
where he must have fallen into the
current, saw or heard no struggle.
Friends were sent at noon today to
tell his widow of the finding of his
body and that it was in such a condi-
ton that she would not be permitted
to view it. Mrs. Mclaughlin is pros
trated with grief. Up to the time the
body was found at noon today, she had
kept up the hope that her husband was
not dead but had wandered away dur
ing fit of mental alteration. She had
offered $25 for information about her
husbands whereabouts and the Eagles
had offered $25 for the recovery of the
body.
McLaughIin's body was first discov-
cred by Oscar Ericsson. of 315 Elmwood
avenue. POtwin.

BETTER RATES FOR FAIRS
Horsemen Think That Transportation
Is Too High.

Joe Mossbacher. the Wichita horse
man, and DR.. Laire of ElDorado and
A. L. Spons1er appeared before the
board of railroad commissioners this
afternoon to represent the shippers
in the case against the railroads for
lower rates on horses shipped to and
from the county fairs.
The horsemen claim that the roads
charge for half car without regard to
the weight or size of the animal. The
railroads make the defense that the
risk in shipping fine stock and the care
necessary to properly handle them JUS
tffies the rate. The board will take the
case under adviSement.

Chance IN Phone Service.

On May 1st, the Stevens County
Telephone Company disconnected the
wires of the Minnesota Central Tele
phone Company from its switch
boards at Hancock and Morris. The
Chokio Telephone Co. at Chokio did
the same thing.
Both the Hancock and Morris ex-
changes of the Stevens County Tele-
phone Company now connect with
the long distance wires of the Tri-
State Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, as does also the local exchange
at Chokio. This change will not af-
feet any of the local phone users as
all can get long distance connections
from their local phones just the same
as before this change was made, the
only difference being that their calls
will go over the Tri-State wires in
stead of the Minnesota Central Tele-
phone Company's. AS the rates of
the Tri-State Telephone & Telegraph
Co., are less than those of the other
company in most instances and their
service is just as good if not better,
local patrons of the Stevens Co. Com
pany will probably be pleased with the
change.

THE FREE VOTING CON-
TEST is ON.
Magnificent List Of Prizes for
Those Who Try Nearly All
Parts of the County Repre-
sented and Some Contestants
Already at Work.

About the biggest thing going on in
this county today, and the thing most
talked about in the various homes, is
the Tribune's Free Voting Contest,
which started off this week with a
spirit of enthusiasm and interest,
which is bound to keep it constantly
before the public.
The list of prizes is so magnificent,
containing so many premiums worth
working for that it seems as if each
active participant in the contest would
get something of value, even if she
does not get first or second place,
while the chance to get a $4,000 piano
for few weeks work does not come
every day.
The prize list as announced last
week amounts to about $4,000. This
amount will be increased by special
prizes which we will offer from time
to time.
These prizes are open to fair COM
petition among the young ladies who
live in this and adjoining counties. No
other restriction is offered.
What is the object of this generosi-
ty? How can we afford to give these
prizes? We will answer for the bene-
fit of the skeptical. This may look
like generosity on our part but it is
not. 1t is strictly a business PROPOSE
tion, with us. We have calculated the
cost and the outcome. We want an
increase in subscription, and adver-
tising. In short we want to build up
the business of our paper and plant.
We have taken this means to help

Another Rule.

The Tribune was hardly issued last
week before a subscriber who had
paid his subscription the day before
asked us to be allowed to vote. We
decided that he could not, for the
reason the contest had not then be-
gun, and if we allowed the man who
paid the day before to vote, we should
also allow the one who paid the week
before or the month before. In fair
ness to all competitors, we therefore
made this new rule. "No votes will
be issued for subscriptions paid pre-
vious to April 29th. Subscribers must
call for votes at the time of paying
subscriptions or waive their right"
