a strict and detailed public accounting

Mr.. and Mrs. H. O. Wickre and son,
Sherman, who have been on an auto
mobile tour of Iowa and Minnesota for
several days during which time they
visited with relatives in many places
arrived home in Webster last Friday
evening having made that day 243 miles,
making the last lap from Watertown
after supper, reaching home a little past
ten o'clock. Mr.. Wickre reports that
they had a most excellent time during
their absence. They encountered no bad
weather. and no very bad roads, had no
automobile trouble and only one rain,
and that only sufficed to lay the dust in
good shape. He also says that the crops
all along the road were looking fine and
that everyone was in the best of spirits
and very hopeful Of a splendid crop
this fall.

coRwIN, TWO NEAa OLD
SON OF MIR. AND MRS. WELLS
MEETS VERY BAD ACCIDENT
While Barefooted Sunday The
Little Fellow Walks Out
Upon a Hot Tin Roof And
Receives Bad Burns
on His Feet

Last Sunday Corwin, the two-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Wells
was burned about the feet in a very
peculiar manner. The day before Mrs.
Wells had let the little fellow go bare
footed for the first time in his life.
Sunday was his birthday anniversary
and he asked to have his shoes off
again. The request was granted and
be was playing around the rooms
upstairs. Mrs. Wells and the maid
employed at the house went down
stairs for something. Mr.. Wells, who
had just got home from an automobile
drive to the lake was in the bathroom
taking a bath, when the screams of
the child were heard. The women
folks rushed up stairs to find that some
one had left the screen door, which
leads out on the roof of the porch,
unlocked and the boy had walked out
upon the roof barefooted. The roof
is tin and the terrific heat of Sunday
afternoon had made it just like the
top of a stove. Mrs. Wells immed-
lately saw what had happened to the
child and grabbed him up and applied
olive oil, which she had in the house.
AS soon as Mr.. Wells could get into
some of his clothes he jumped into his
automobile and came up town and got
other soothing, cooling and healing
lotions. Sunday night the parents
opened the blisters upon the little boys
feet, two of them were over four inches
long and the bottom of both feet were
masses Of blisters. He will be a great
care until they heal as he is not yet
old sufficient to understand why he
cannot run and play.

AND MARSHALL
ARE CHOSEN DEMOCRATIC
STANDARD BEARERS
2 DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey,
for President on Forty-Sixth
Banot-Thomas Marshall,
of Indiana, Vice Presi-
dent Second Ballot

The democratic convention which con-
venes on Tuesday, June 20, 1912, and
was one of the hardest fought contests
within the party for many years, settled
the question of the presidential nominal
ton Tuesday on the forty-sixth ballot
by eliminating Thomas Woodrow Will
son, present governor of New Jersey.
The convention met in the evening and
after two ballots for vice president,
Governor Burke, of North Dakota, who
was second in the race, withdrew and
Governor Marshall, of Indiana, was
nominated by reclamation.
Woodrow Wilson was born in 1856 in
Virginia where he was baptised under
the full name of Thomas Woodrow Will
son.
MIR. Wilson cannot appeal to senti-
mentality of the public by account of a
self. made mans rise from poverty. His
father and grandfather were educated
men, prominent in their communities
and while not rich, were able to give
the aspiring young scholar a liberal
education. His father, the Rev. Joseph
Ruggles Wilson, moved to Georgia when
the boy was two years old and he later
preached in various churches in North
and South Carolina.
Young Wilson entered Davidson COL
lege at the age ct IL. After two years
he entered Princeton from which he
graduated in 1879. He then studied law
in the University of Virginia, receiving
a degree of Bachelor of Law in 1882.
He received his degree of Bachelor of
Philosophy from the John Hopkins Uni.
yersity in 1886, that of Doctor of Laws
from the Lake Forest University of
ftNkh Carolina in 1887, and that of
~1kLiterature from the Yale uni
versityAat its bi-centennial celebration.
After holding several chairs and pro-
f~essors, Prof. Wilson became thirteenth
in the roll of presidents of Princeton in
1902 and was the first layman to hold
this office.
when Mr.. Wilson, after twenty-five
years of service as an educator, resigned
the presidency Of Princeton in 1910 to
accept the nomination for governor of
New Jersey, there was a general ten
deney to look askance at the ''school-
master" in politics. However, he was
carried into Office on the radical anti
republican wave that swept SO many
states.
Mr.. Wilson was elected by a plurality
OF $4,000 votes and became the first
democratic governor which New Jersey
had had for sixteen years. 1t was this
sweeping victory in the state that had
been consistently hostile to the demo-
cratic principles that brought the for
mer college president prominently into
politics.

brothers. William, John, James and Jed,
all of McDonough county, Illinois, and
a sister, Susie F. Lucas, Of West Palm
Beach, Florida.
Mr.. Wayland came from Illinois to
Redfield, Dakota territory, in the early
eighties, engaging in the carpenter
trade. Took up a claim in Potter county
where he met and married Clara l..
Johnson in 1888. Moved from there to
WATERFOWL for a short time, and then
to Waubay, where he has since resided,
engaging in lumber and later in the
mercantile pursuits. He was a member
of Camp No. 2093, Modern Woodmen of
America; was elected camp clerk in
1896 and held that office for twelve
years, the camp very unwillingly accept
ing his refusal to serve longer IN this
capacity.
In 1908 he was elected treasurer of
Day county, and was reelected in 1910,
which position he held until his demise.
In April, 1910, he suffered a stroke Of
paralysis but had nearly recovered when
a second stroke laid him low two days
before his death.
"Harve" was a good friend and neigh
Dor, always good natured and ready to
hold out a helping hand to those in need.
His wise and ready counsel will greatly
be missed.
The funeral service were held at the
First Congregational church Saturday
afternoon, after brief services at the
home, and were conducted by Rev. d.
B. Wallar. The floral tributes, borne by
six little girls in white, were very beauti-
full and included a large pillow from the
M. W. A. camp. Interment was made
in Lakewood cemetery. To the sorrow
ing relatives is extended the sincere
sympathy of the entire community in
this sad bereavement.

Inspect Their Mines

/ During Mr.. and Mrs. A. T. Cooper's
visit at.Duluth the past two weeks, Mr..
Cooper in company with David Williams,
went out and ippected the mining prop
critics owned in partnership by those
gentlemen and Mrs. Kittie Williams. Mr..
Cooper informed the writer that the
drills had been running upon the prop
critics for two years now and the own
ers are more than satisfied that they
bought a bonanza when they purchased
the mining land. There has been no cor
poration formed and none will be and the
present are looking for no part
ners as there is not a foot of the ground
for sale. We hope and trust that every
thing is just as rosy as it o looks for
these three people and know we voice
the sentiment of all Day county people
when we wish them this good fortune.

posed an additional plank to the plat
form condemning a decision of the
supreme court a~ntagonistic to the pure
food law. 1t was opposed by H. E.
Hitchcock, of Mitchell, C. E. Ryan, of
Aberdeen, and several others who
made speeches unfolding the integrity
of the courts. The lawyers in the con-
vention said they had heard of no
decision such as that cited. But Ben
Wood was for it anyway, as he thought
the supreme court ought to be handed
in the line of condemnation
If for nothing more than for the
decisions in the Standard Oil and

After much discussion Ross of the

which was adopted.
