Her Seventy-first Birthday.

Tuesday was Mrs. Gertrude
Leffingwell's seventy-first birth
day, and because of the auspicious
event the members of the East
ern Star arranged a little recep-
tion in her honor the affair took
place at the Leffingwell home on
the west side. The afternoon
was very pleasantly spent by the
thirty-five ladies present, and
after the service of dainty ra-
freshments, the party posed for a
couple of group PICTURES, the ar
lists being Mrs. Thos. Osman and
Miss Susie Tower. In CONNIE.

House Broken Into.

While M. e. Gordon and
family were attending the fair at
Browns Valley, the latter part Of
last week, some one entered their
home by forcing the back door,
and helped themselves to a
quantity of jelly and preserves, a
jar of cookies and other edibles.
They also ransacked trunk be-
longing to Hilda Olson, the domes-
tic in the Gordon home, carrying
away whatever pleased their
fancy, but finding nothing Of
great value. The job is thought
to be the work Of young vanda1s
and is but another of several
depredations committed by them
during the past few weeks. There
are several candidates for the re-
form school living right here in
Slsseton, and the sooner they are
apprehepded and put where they
belong, the better for all con-
cerned.

Visited Old Friends.

Rev. G. N. Peterson, who for
nearly seventeen years had charge
of Our Savior's church in Et-
fington, Emanuel church in Grant
township, and Trinity church in
Victor township, but who left
Roberts county two years ago to
take up the work of field agent 70
the Wilmar (Minn.) Lutheran
Seminary, arrived in Sisseton
Monday evening, and spent a
couple of days among old friends
and parishioners here and at the
scenes Of his former labors. Rev.
Peterson is very pleasing gentle
man to meet, and is doing excel
lent work for the educational in
stitution which he so ably repre-
sents. He returned to Willmar
on Wednesday.

Advertising Brings Results.

Dave Stevens approached us
on the street the other day, and
requested us to publish a denial
to the story printed in last week S
Standard to the effect that heI was
figuring on buying shotgun.
"I've been pestered to- death, y
said Dave. "Why, the Standard
hadn't much more than got into
the post office, last week, when a
fellow called me up on the tele-
phone and tried to sell me a gun,
and since then no less than
twenty five different men have
offered to fit me out with shoot
ing irons. They've sure got me
going walk in the middle if the
street every time | pass a hard
ware store. So if you'll just
state in the next issue Of the
Standard that | am positively not
IN the market for a shotgun, you
will relieve the strain on me quit
a little All Of which proves
conclusiv7y that advertising in
the Standard brings results-but
We really don't believe that Mr.
Stevens wants TO buy a shotgun.

There was no jangling between
teams OF with officials. Little time
was taken out by either team, so
chat there was forty minutes Of

injured may be attributed to the
good physical condition of the
players.
The game was called at 2:15
The Valley won the toss and Sis

fine tackling by Ezra Lewis.
In the second quarter Harvey

a forward pass and our James
Honeysett was there and caught
the ball, instead pf the Valley
man for whom it was intended,
but they downed him before he
could get away with it.

and found the ball he found that
Lyman Babcock had covered it.
In this quarter Alfred Monnie car.

'rible manner. A surgeon from
st. Paul amputated the injured

was so great that the life of the
injured man is dcspaired of.

A INDUSTRIOUS CRIME
Walter o'Brien, a Huron Labor
ing Man, Murders His Four
Months Old Child in Hor-
rible Manner.

Huron, Sept. 21.-Walter w.
O 'Brien, laborer, is held here
charged with the murder of his
four months-old baby. The muir
der occurred at 3 O'Clock Sum
day morning, when O'Brien arose
from his bed and shut all the
windows and doors, and told his
wife something was going to hap
pen.
Mrs. O'Brien tried to get down
stairs with the child, when he
siezed the infant from her, and
holding it by it's heels beat its
head ON the floor, walls and fur
uiture, knocking it's brains out.
O'Brien then attacked his wife
who was saved by another wo-
man living in the house, who
choked him ur+;l he released his
hold on the defenseless mother
of the murdered infant.
O'Brien is known to have been
hard drinker, but there is no
evidence to show that he was
drunk when the murder was com
mitted.
When arrseted he appeared to
be having tremens, and in jail
has grown steadily worse, an
it is thought he may be insane.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 21-
AS President Taft travels west
on his tour of the country, he
is likely to encounter a condition
within the ranks OF his own party
quite different from that VII.
which his predecessors OF the
presidency have found While max
ing their pilgrlmages among the
people, in the year preceding the
renomlnatlon period. Mr.. Taft
will find the democrats, while
divided as to their candidate for
next year, nevertheless confident
\ 81 a 1912 victory and ready to
enlist under the leadership of
any Standard bearer who may be
selected. 1t is within his own
party that the real danger of
republican success lies, and a
handful OF a few western states
are furnishing most Of the
trouble. Taking advantage of
the reciprocity situation, there
has been sent out from the head
quarters of the Progressive Re-
publicans League in Washington
great quantities of Senator La
Follette's speech entitled "Sham
Reciprocity.'' The league is us
ing every effort to discredit the
Taft administration with the farm
ers, and in a declaration from
their headquarters it is declared
In the recent session of con-
gress the progressive repubi-
cans fought with their backs to
the wall to get simple justice for
the 35,00O,000 people engaged in
and dependent upon agriculture.
They used every legitimate weap-
on to prevent the sacrifice of the
agricultural interests for the
benefit Of the railroads, the beef
trust, the coal trust, the flour
trust, and all the overproteeted
manufacturers and trusts.

states prohibit such marriage and

Pennsylvania another death has
made it necessary to hold an elec

appears that in the New Jersey
district the forces of Governor
Woodrow Wilson are aiming to
secure control. 1t has long been
solidly republican. In Kansas the
supporters of President Taft de-

former Representative Scott, who
has been considered one of tn
strongest regular republicans Ct
of Kansas. His defeat was rea,

Nebraska situation concerns a

column. while in Pennsylvania
