WANTS MRS. TAFT TO SIGN
Dakota Man Thought Land Patent
Should Also Garry Signature
of Presidents Wife.

"A homesteader in North Dakota,
who recently received a government
patent to his entry, fears that his
title to the land may be affected be-
cause the patent was not signed by
the wife Of the preside t. In a letter
to Commissioner bennett of the gen
eraI land Office the homesteader says:
Il don't know whether it is the law
of the United States or not, but in
North Dakota a deed transferring
property must be signed by the wife
as we'll as the husband My patent is
signed only by President Taft and
therefore l send it to you for his
wife's signature"
Commissioner bennett wrote the
homesteader that he need not worry
about his title, as Mr. Taft's name to
the patent was all that the law re
quired.

As we were able. A lack of sufficient
trash receptacles is one of Washing
tons crying evils at present, and as
an organization we feel that it should
be remedied, Washington's beautiful
streets are made hideous with refuse,
waste paper and other trash which
should be thrown into some proper re-
ceptacle. What a spectacle for the
tourist who has come to view the ma

that we see one of the greatest men
aces to the health of the citizens. The
bread which is carried into most
Washington households has passed
through several pairs of hands of
doubtful cleanliness and has probably
been carried through the streets in
an open wagon. In some instances
the same pair of hands that har-
messed the horse also handle the

 Of course the humors of Andy and Minerva are incidental to the main plot of the piece. MT. Dixon deals W tn a big question and he tells an exc ting story, pathetic, tragic, grave and gay by turns. The home of Major Daniel Norton in Southern capital city is the scene. The era is tn lrty years after the events of Reconstruc- tion The issue hinges on the race problem, the love of the Majors son for a beautiful young woman suspect ed of taint of negro blood.
 Complication $ piled upon compli- cation till situations of tragis inten- sity are developed. The love of the young people, the boys ncredulity, the girls revolt at her terr ble posi- tion, the Majors resolve to wipe out the stain on family honor, afford a succession of thrilling scenes.

Council Bluffs, Oct. Ill G. Mabray
was taken back to Leavenworth early
this forenoon. AS he left the county
tAu he turned and looked at the build
ing where ne passed. several weeks
while awaiting tEiAI and while on trial.
His whole deneanor indicated that he
confidently expects to be free man
at the conclusion Of his sentence at the
federal prison the last day Of this
month.
No witnesses were examined by the
srand Jury today. the testimony being
concluded last night. At noon today 1t
was stated that the jury would reas-
semble late this afternoon to make its
report
The same secrecy observed in bring
ing 'Mabray here Is still maintained
but rumors about the court house are
that four or five indictments will be
returned. Probably only one will be
made public tonight. Attorney General
Cosson and Assistant Fletcher, unable
to secure rooms at hotels here last
night, went to Omaha. They returned
to Des Moines at noon.
Prisoner Wouldn't Talk.
Attempts to interview Mabray were
unsuccessful Reporters were compell-
cd to be content with the statement
that Mabray came here voluntarily.
This was not news, for he could not
have been compelled to come under
any circumstances. With this and sug-
gestive remarks the Inference was
made that Mabray had a purpose In
coming which would be disclosed in
due time. Newspaper reporters were
not the only persons who were disap-
pointed in not succeeding in getting at
Mabray
