Exchange

We have one of the best quarter
sections of land in Sully county,
South Dakota to exchange for an 80
or l2O here. Every acre of this land
is perfect, fenced and cross fenced,
about one-half under cultivation,
light improvements, small grove,
some fruit trees, 2112 miles to town,
8 miles to County Seat. This is as
fine quarter as there is in the state
and will make an ideal home. Will
take Iowa land at ite value and are
willing to take what this land is &C.
tually worth namely s47.50 per acre.
This land will stand the very clos
est inspection. If this suits you, act
quickly. Audub bon County Journal

evidently appealed to him, for he at

Several years after Mr. Lincoln's
death, the incident, by many people
considered a myth, became known in
detail, and was found to have an ex-
ceedingly substantial basis. The lit
tie girl in question was Grace Bedell,
who lived in Westf1eld, Chautauqua
County, New York. Her father, who
was stanch Republican, was great
admirer of his party's choice for pres
ident In 1860, and one day carried a
big campaign poster home with him.
On the poster was picture of Lin
coin and Hamlin, around whose faces
was an appropriate border of rail
fences. Little Grace examined the
picture carefully, and then exclaimed:
"Mr. Lincoln would be twice as good
looking If he had F1hiskers like you,
papa"-over which opinion the family
had hearty laugh
But the child was mortified at their
mirth and at the fact that her remark
was being made joke of when she
was in dead earnest about the matter
In the privacy of her room she deter
mined to write to Mr.. Lincoln herself
feeling sure that he would not mis-.
understand her, even though her own
family had
Imagine her astonishment, when, in
the latter part of October, letter
came to the village postoffice for

said, Your very sincere well-wisher

The letter didn't exactly promise he
would follow her suggestion, but ap-
parently he took 1t to heart and acted
on it shortly afterward. He evidently
kept the girl in mind all the time, too,
for when he arrived In Westfleld on
his campaign tour he asked from the
platform whether there was small
miss In the audience named Grace
pedell. When the surprised girl was
brought forward Mr.. Lincoln climbed
down off the platform, took her up
in his arms and, kissing her, said:
"You see, Grace, I've let my whis-
kers grow for you"
And thus 1t has gone down In history
that 1t was on account of a child's re-
quest that Mr.. Lincoln grew whis.

some side combs, and several small
pine. This was all good jewelry. Mr.
Darnold called upon each jeweler in
the city and F. M. Tharnish was the
only one who claimed any part of the
jewelry. Mr.. Darnold turned the pro-
perty over to Mayor Spencer and he
turned it over to the County Attorney

Resume Flight Eastward

ALTA, Cal, Sept. 1S.-With his
smashed biplane rebuilt except for at
taching the rear rudder, aviator
Robert @. Fowler, the first man to at
tempt to fly across the American con-
tinent, today made final preparations
to resume his flight. Whether he will
start this afternoon or tomorrow
morning depends on how the new
rudder works.
1t is probable that no start will be
made today, but that the Afternoon
will be devoted to tuning up flights
and that the aviator will ascend be-
fore sunrise tomorrow and soar to-
wards the Sierra Nevadas. II Fowler
can get across these mountains with
out mishap, he will have put behind
him what many regard as the most
dangerous part of his entire flight.
Fowler announced today that he
expects to sail from here to Castle
Peak. following the Yuba river canyon
to Truckee. From there he expects
to sail TO Reno, following the canyon
of the Truckee river.
Fowler had an exciting experience
Sunday when q fire started In the
Mountain View hotel at Colfax. where
he was sleeping.
The blaze destroyed a good part Of
the town, killing one man and seri-
ously injuring another. Fowler quick

pointment Of prosecuting attorney

RANDOLPH ASKED
BLISS FOR MONEY
Sensational Letter Sprung in Disbar-
ment Case Against Attorney
Outlook Bright for Latter.

Hearing on the disbarment pro-
ceedings instituted against Attorney
Herbert r. Bliss because Of charges
made against him in the recent inyes-
tigation of Justice e. 8. Randolph,
alleged solicitor OF bribes, began be-
fore Judges Mandell, Hosmer and
Codd In the circuit court. Monday
morning. Attorney James H. Pound
acted as friend of the court and At
torney Frank ID. Eaman defended Mr..
Bliss.
The hearing attracted considerable
attention, and the proceedings were
closely watched by large number
OF attorneys. When court adjourned
at noon the opinion was freely ex-
pressed that the charges against the
young attorney had not been sustain
ed by the evidence brought out thus
far, and that Bliss would be exonerat-
ed from all suspicion OF any wrong
motives when he accepted money
from John Marquette, the slot
machine man, for the alleged purpose
OF paying It over to Justice Randolph
to stop his activities against slot ma
chimes.
Bliss defense is that he paid money
to give Randolph with the intention OF
trapping him.
The feature of the hearing was the
flashing upon Justice Randolph OF q
letter written by him to Bliss, in
which he asked for 800. This let
ter was produced by Mr.. Eaman just
after Randolph had testified with con-
siderable emphasis that he had never
asked Bliss for money.

Hotel Normandie, Jan. 13, 1911, and
