WIFE COMES FOR farm
PECULIAR MED0RA CASE

An interesting case was heard before
J. A. Paxton. probate judge, at Medora
this week.
In the year 1905 one Gorhe Meisner, of
Wittenburg. Wisconsin. filed on a home
stead in this county In the spring of
1907 he died at his fathers home in
Wisconsin, before making proof on his
claim. His father. Herman Meisner.
the respondent in the case. made COM
mutation proof. as the father and heir,
in July 1907. Now comes Della Bertha
Nader and petitions to be appointed
administrator of the estate claiming
that she had been married to George
Meisner at Warsaw. Wis.,. June 18th,
1905, and that there wat one child born
as the result of this union, Sept. Is.
1906, and which died August. 1907
that the marriage wat kept secret at
the request of her husband. She was
unable to produce a marriage certificate
or show that a license had ever been
issued nor had she ever told his people
that she was the mother of q child,
nor did she visit him during his last
illness nor attend his funeral.
Attorney for respondent moved to dis
miss the case for the reason that as
he. her husband had not perfected title
he was not the owner of the land when

SLOPE WANTS SIMPSON
The CALL FROM MANDAn

The following is taken from the
Mandan Pioneer:
The Pioneer is pleased to present as
a candidate for congress from the Third
Congressional District the name of
Senator Leslie A. Simpson, of Dickin-
son, as the West Slopes choice for
representative.
The Third District contains no man
more eminently fitted to represent it
in congress than Leslie Simpson. As
a lawyer he stands at the head of his
profession ; as a member of the upper
house of the legislature he has back Of
him a career of which any man may
we'll feel proud and in point of ability
he is an intellectual giant. The reports
published q week or so ago to the effect
that he had dec ided not to enter the
field for Office. the Pioneer is pleased
to state were not authentic, and while
Mr.. Simpson has not as yet announced
his candidacy there is every reason to
believe that his announcement will
be forth coming, for a great deal of
pressure has been brought tt bear on
him. not only in the West Slope country
but from the northern part of the dis
trict to become a candidate for the
Republican nomination.
There is little question that Senator
Simpson once in the field would win the
nomination and election. His vote in
Morton county and Stark county and
those portions of the West Slope where
he is best known would be nearly un-
animous, for moi only will the people of
this section take pleasure in comforting
the honor on him, but will do them
selves proud in sending as their first
representative to congress n whose
ability will entitle the district to the
recognition it deserves.

Washington, d. c., requesting him to
attend a conference there of the board

of Darien harbor. He viii recommend,
however, that if the harbor be i'm
proved. the work be centered upon
Front river and Sapelo island sound,
instead of Doboy sound as at first pro-

JURY PUTS APPROVAL
UPON "GENTLEMANLY
DRINKER" BY VERDICT

A divorce jury in superior court de-
cided today that there was such a
thing as "gentlemanly drinker." Ac-
cording to the phase Of the verdict that
settled this delicate point, a gentle
manly drinker" is one who can drink
and not get drunk
The question went to the jury quite
inadvertently and was propounded by
Superior Judge Pendleton during the
course of an action in which DR.. c. c.
Needham sought a removal of his mar
riage disabilities. ~-
Harvey Hill, the attorney. had been
called to the stand to act as character
witness for DR.. Needham, and he had
given DIR. Needham the best of reputa-
ton
Does he ever take a drink, Mr.. Hill q
asked Judge Pendleton.
Mr.. Hill said that he thought he did.
but was sure that the physician had
never taken liquor to excess.
Then he is what you call gentle
manly drinker.." said the judge.
When the jury retired, knowing full
we'll that all the facts must be consid-
cred, it pondered some time over the
question 1t found a verdict favorable
to DR.. Needham.

COSMOPOLITAN CASE
is DELAYED IL DAYS;
NO RECEIVER NAMED

After conference with attorneys rep
resenting both factions, Superior Judge
Bell today granted postponement OF
twelve days in the case of the state
against the Cosmopolitan Life Insur-
ance Company, resetting the hearing for
December Is.
The postponement was granted SO
that a stockholders meeting, scheduled
for December 16, could be held and some
arrangement made whereby the com
pany could be kept a going concern, to
the satisfaction of suing stockholders
and the state insurance authorities.
The courts action means that no re-

pany in case of Dan G. Sudderth and
his interventors. Whether the COM
pany and the state authorities reach
an agreement is problematical, but it
is believed that some satisfactory ad-
justment will be made.

line OF demarcation between the triple
alliance Germany, Austria and Italy)
and the triple entente (England, France

either way might precipitate the bloodiest

I'VE hope, but there is more preparation
than hope. No one can tell what the next

Troops in Line With Young.
Sters and Big Reception at
the Capitol Follows.

With more than 1900 in line, the
| greatest corn show parade ever held in
the South started on its way through
the streets of Atlanta this afternoon,
while thousands of city folks cheered
on the young agriculturalists who will
some day supply the nation with prod
ice
Led by. Captain w. H. Leahy,, grand
marshal Of the day, captain in the Fifth
regiment and commander of the Corn
club Boy Scouts Of the state, and by
Colonel F. E. Pomeroy, of the Seven
teenth United States infantry, and Act
ing Mayor John S. Gambler, the parade
formed at the capitol just after the big
turkey dinner at the capitol was fin
ished.
In spite of their satisfied fullness, the
boys were eager to get in line, for they
marched in front of all the troops of
the Fifth regiment and the cadets from
Marist and the Georgia Military acad-
envy. The line, almost a quarter of a
mile in length, was to parade across
the Washington street viaduct and then
turn UP Harris street. down Peachtree

sidewalk to Whitehall, over Mitchell
street toward the capitol, and at 8
o'clock they were all to be dismissed,
after having been reviewed by their
leaders.

lowed at the capitol.
Most of the boys will leave late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning for
their homes, and each one will be in

the state was fittingly observed by
nearly 1000 youngsters at the state

were the guests of the Atlanta Cham
Der of Commerce at one Of the biggest
dinners ever given in Atlanta.
Long tables laden with dainties to
satisfy the sturdy appetites of hungry
young farmer girls and boys will stretch
through the corridors Of the building
and for perhaps the first time in its his
tory it saw the embryo agricultural
interests of the state all satisfied as to
appetite.
The dinner was so big and there
were so many attending it that four
ministers were required to say grace,
and as soon as they were done, prompt
ly at - o'clock, the meal began. The
four ministers were DR. John f. Pur
ser. Dr. ]. B. Robins DR., r. o. Finn
and Dr. c. b. Wilmer.
