Treat Governor Carroll Fairly.

Des Mones Capital: The Register
and Leader recently made ridicu-
lousy unfair statement affecting Gov
ernor Carroll That paper stated that
Lieutenant Governor Garst became
governor and was at that time entitled
to the governorship in preference to
State Auditor Carroll The Register
and Leader compares Garst's reaching
the governorship to Roosevelt's reach
ing the presidency. The trouble about
lit all is that Governor Cummins was
not elected to the United States SEN
ate until long after B. F. Carroll had
been both nominated and elected
governor. Lieutenant Governor Garst
was candidate at the Republican
primary. He had his day in court.
He was defeated at the primary in
June and B. F. Carroll defeated a
Democrat in November All these
happened while Governor Cummins
was governor. Governor Cummins
was not elected senator until about
Thanksgiving day, late in November.
The special session of the legislature
was called after the general election
with the agreement that if Governor
Cummins was the choice of the No
vember primary, he should be elect
ed senator by the legislature. The
governor was the choice at the pri- |
mary and was chosen senator after
the special primary in November. The I
Register and Leader made a correc- I
ion of this, but did not make it
weeping enough or plain enough.
Governor Carroll is entitled to fair
rreafmen,

EDWARD CHURCH
HAS DISAPPEARED
Young RIacksmith's Helper Residing
on johnson Street, Missing now
for over TWO
Weeks.
NOT WITH RELATIVES
Left Home in His Working Clothes
Two Weeks Ago Last Monday
and Not Seen
Since.

Edward Church, a young appren-
tice blacksmith, twenty-one years
old has disappeared from his home at
1114 Johnson street in this city and is
causing his family no end of worry
by his absence now over two weeks.
On the 25th of July Church arose at
the usual hour in the morning that he
always did and called to his mother
from the bed room to give him his
working clothes. He then went into
the kitchen, ate his breakfast and at
ten minutes of seven started out APP
parently for work, being employed
at the blacksmith shop of Zachariah
L. Mitchell, 1919 Main street. That
was the last seen of him.
About nine o'clock, Mr.. Mitchell
the young mans employer, went to
the Church home on Johnson street
and asked why his helper had not ap-
peared at work. The family was sur
prised and thought that he had been
attending to his duties as usual.

said he would send her goods around
to the hotel for her.
The next day passed and the goods
did not come, SO on the last day of
the sale. Mrs. Thayer went to the
Wreck salesroom and inquired about
her package. A man who she says
gave his name as Sallegsburg and who
seemed to be the proprietor, told her
that the goods were not delivered
the first.day because they were not on
sale when bought, but that Mrs. Thay-
er was informed she was given first
pick of the lot and the other custom
ers who came after were not supposed
to know of this.

place in the minds of the relatives.
Description of Church
Edward Church is a tai, light
completed young man, twenty-one
years old. He has light hair, blue
eyes and is about five feet, eleven
and half inches tall. He weighs
145 pounds and when last seen he
was dressed in light shirt. dark
working trousers and rough working
shoes. He wore a stiff hat and no
coat. He is exceptionally bright and

Frequently there are outlying spurs

Several years ago the British steam.
ship Nessmore ran into an iceberg and
stove in her bows. When she was
locked a scratch was found next the
keel the full length of the ship, the
plates being almost cut through. The
ship evidently struck a submerged

1T is generally best for ships to &C

tegrated fragments have tendency to
drift to leeward, while open water will
be found to windward."
So nicely are icebergs balanced in
the water that the slightest melting
sometimes will cause the center OF
gravity to shift, and the entire berg
will capsize or founder. Thus many
ships have been wrecked.

Had Not Been Drinking.

Church is not drinking young
man and the idon that he may have
been lead away through this detri-
mental influence is set aside by the
members of his family. Always in a
jocular mood, the young man cared
more for the companionship to b.
found in his own home than with
company elsewhere and it is chiefly
trough this reason that his sudden
disappearance has caused wonder
