utes all laws of parliamentary proceed
ure had been followed by the majority
who elected Paul X. kartzke with Il
definite purpose. The records OF the
meeting were certified to by the secretary
and the facts as shown are reported to
have not been questioned.
The State committee heard the evil
dence and decided the contest in execu-
tive session, undoing the work OF Il
county committee meeting held accord
ing to law, and unseated the legally
elected Lincoln county Republican State
committeeman.
The basis for its conclusion has not
been definitely stated 50 far as we know
and ii il were We are not sure that IL
woul6 be more than an effort to justify
the granting OF Il political BOSSES de
lnands.
The result of that state committee ac-
ton is unquestoned by those who know
the pulse OF the voters of the North Side
tract, and those Of Lincoln county who
recognize and have no tolerance for the
old line Republican county boss rule and
domination OF Frank X. Gooding, which
they now appreciate is stas wide.
The Republicans Of Rupert, having
been here longer, and those OF Goodine
being so much more constantly under
the selfish domination Of Frank X
Gooding, may be better trained to this
one man rule policy.
One thing is certain, and that is tha
the voters OF the tract, and we thini
others in this county, are first OF al
against Frank r. Gooding Boss Rule.
How they will show their resentmen
of this condition to the Republicans, botl
in the county and state, Is not appar
entity determined, but show this resent
ment we are sure they will, even ii
means "A change from the normal Repub
lican county OF around 1909 majority
to Democratic Lincoln county from to
to bottom al the coming election.
Boss rule, OF the Frank r. G"odin
selfish type is thing OF the past i
older states where it has been longe
tolerated than this state Is old.
The voters of this district will probat
4 ably make it plain to the Repubica
party in Idaho even ii it does not n
itself OF this old fashioned antiquate
political method that they will, 10y abar
i donment, ii necessary of old party atfil
e ations, keep Lincoln county anythin

dition continues.

Acting under this statute the land
board only recently followed the
letter of the law in demanding that

the board would take no cognizance

CLAIMS STATE RECORD.
Miss Vera BuCkneII Has Record OF
Eleven Straight Years at School
Never Tardy.

An article in last weeks Public
Opinion relative to Miss Helen Cum
bingham, of Fort Dodge, having at
tended school for the past ten years
without missing a day, brought about
a discussion of school children in
DEBORAH and their record of atten-
dance. 1t developed that DEBORAH
has young lady, in the person of
Miss Vera Bucknell, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. B. E. Bucknell, who has a
record of eleven straight years in
attendance at the DEBORAH public
school, and in all those years she has
never even been tardy. Miss Vera
started to school when four years
old, and stayed in the first room
two years, simply because she was
rot old enough to be advanced. Since
then she has passed every year, ald
in the opening of the fall term will
be sophomore. She now claims the
state record and if she attends for
three more years will hold the record
for the United States.

HORSES PLAY FOOTBALL.
One of the Many Features With Buff
falo Bills Wild West and Pawnee
Bills Far East VIII he New
Style Athletics.

Football on horseback bids fair TO
rival polo as a game for horseback
riders in this country. The Buffalo
Bill Wild West and Pawnee Bill Far
East is demonstrating the sport this
year as one of the features of that
popular exhibition. 1t is played by a
group of horsemen, trained to ex-
pertness in the lew fad" mounted
on the lively Western ponies.
A large ball standing half as high
as an ordinary horse, is used as the
football" The knees of the ponies
are padded and by running into it the
ball is thus propelled from goal TO
goal. Aside from the interest which
the game creates, there is strong
element of grotesque comedy in the
exhibition. The horses are rugged
out after the fashion of the reguia-
ton football player, with guards and
pads of all sorts, presenting gro
tesque appearance. In every way the
football horses are interesting, and
the diversion is proving a great ait
with patrons of the exhibition. They
will show at DEBORAH July 9th.

CALMAR LOSES AGAIN.
DEBORAH Trims Her Old Time Rivals
to the Tune of to =.

Last Sunday the DEBORAH base ball
team went over to Calmar to indulge
in little friendly game of ball, and
give Calmar a chance to retrieve the
laurels lost on the Fourth. But there
was nothing to it, and we really hate
to describe the battle, because Cal
mar was so far outclassed it wouldn't
be charitable to give the plays in
detail Heiser, their crack pitcher
was knocked out of the box, and
throughout the whole game they new
er had a chance with Manager Shea's
Indians, who by the way are play
ing gilt edged ball and it takes
good team to send them down the
toboggan. Riggs pitched for Decor
all and he was in fine form.
Following is the score by innings:

was killed by the overturning of an
automobile about fifteen miles north

clutched the steering wheel, and be-
fore Mr.. Scanlon could prevent it
the car went over, imprisoning both.

could not release his wife, and be-
fore help could arrive she was dead.

tomobile, just purchased at la
Crosse. The accident occurred near

BREWsTER'S MILLIONS
An Ea.ly booking for Decorah
Which Will Play at the Grand

Possessing in generous measure all
the elements which go toward maxi
ing delightful interest-holding and
mirth-provokiag entertainment, it
has long since ceased to astonish
playwrights, play producers and the
atre goers that "Brewster's Millions"
is the most enormously successful
play of the century.
Originally played in New York. at
the commodious New Amsterdam
Theatre, its receipts were the largest
ever known to Broadway playhouse
for the eight weeks it remained there
transferred to the Hudson Theatre.
because previous bookings made it
impossible to remain longer at the
New Amsterdam, "Brewster's Mil
lions" established new records for
that house. 1t was enjoyed every
week by more people than any other
comedy which has ever been produc-
ed in this country.

PALZER IN CHICAGO.
Conqeuror OF Wells Agrees to Box
Black Champion Before New
York Club Labor Day.

The following article is taken from
the Chicago Record-Herald Of yester-
day and will interest the hundreds
of admirers of Palzer in this section
Jack Johnson's recent demonstra.
ton on how to mar the features OF
Hopes" without seriously injurins
the recipient of the marring, has boil
stored up the courage of AL. PalZer
Iowa heavy man, and has prompted
Al. to sign with the champion fol
ten-round go to be staged in New
York Labor day. Palzer passed thro
Chicago yesterday and during the
passing held conference with the IL
tle-holder. Johnson seemed pleased
to see Palzer and quickly agreed to
meet the Iowan providing, of course,
he gets 10000 iron men.
The conqueror of Bombardier
Wells and the annihilator of Jim
Flynn, passed breezy hour together,
with the result that messages were
started toward New York promoters,
who are likely to fall for a $4,000
purse for Lii Artha.' Palzer hopes
that some men in Gotham will stage
the match either at Madison Square
Garden or at the old site of the Shar-
key battles on Coney Island.
Palzer, when he was under the
management of Tom O'Rourke, said
he was not ready to fight Johnson,
and would not before a year at least
or until the negro showed some gray
hairs or lost some teeth. Now AL.
has slipped from the business grasp
of O'Rourke and thinks he is fit and
able to do what Jim Flynn not even
started to do.
The DEBORAH, Iowa, eX-farmer has
made a creditable showing in his re-
cent battles. He proved that he could
take a punch and come back with
enough strength to win in his bout
with Wells. In the first round Wells
put uONH III Tic NOunl vi
nine with a right swing that landed
| flush on the jaw. Palzer got shakily
to his feet and before the round was
over had the English champion hang
ing on in distress.
Palzer, too, is nearer the size OF
| Johnson than any other fighter now
in the heavy division. He strips al
22S in battle fitness and has power
fully built shoulders. He can hit
with either hand, but knows nothing
about the defensive side of the game
He may have aschance with Johnson
but none Of his friends will predic'
as much. k@f 81
Johnson did not show that he j!
Iinvincible in his battle with Flynn
/ He proved that he is the creates
staller in the game. He beat up the
fireman during most of the fight, bu
he did not stop Flynn, nor did h
put the Puebloan in bad way. Pal

that the Iowan will put up rea

OF course Shea's Indian braves
couldn't stand to be scalped, so they
got their tomahawks into action and
took three scalps. Qualley singled
to right and Hislop hit to Heiser.
1t was fielder's choice and he threw
wild, letting Hislop Safe and Quail
ley to third. Bernatz then polled
long fly, scoring Qualley and putting
Little Jimmie on third. Riggs hit
fly to Marion and he was generous
enough to let it fall to mother earth
and Hislop galloped home. Riggs
forced BernatZ at second and Shea
struck out, Riggs stole third and
Rogue singled to right, scoring him.
Rogue pilfered second and Gutteboa
got a pass, but Bidne went out on a
high 1y to center.
The third inning found both teams
sparrilg again, but in the fourth
Calmar came back with a vengeance
and gathered in three scores, MAX
the count read 10 in their favor.
But it is well to remember that Il
ball game is never ended until the
last man is out in the last inning,
which will be seen later in this mar
rative.
In the fourth Riggs began to as
cend, slow, but sure, like the ba-
loon at the county fair when it ISM
too windy. In this round he passed
Schmidt and Heiser, then Becker
singled, filling the bags. Hubert
hit to Bidne and he whipped it home
catching Schmidt, who almost broke
| a blood vessel in his effort to score.
Marion then was mean enough to
single to left, scoring Heiser and
Becker. j. Uher sent a high fly to
Riggs and Graf singled to left. scor-
ing Hubert. Lee hit to Shea for an
easy out at first.
Ryggs retired at the end of the
fourth in favor of Rogue, Calmar's
hoodoo pitcher, and then the visi-
tors couldn't remember what a score
looked like. And no more We're made
on either side until the eight, when
DEBORAH decided that Calmar had
Ienjoyed enough sweet anticipatiols
about having the game on ice, AMI
concluded to warm things up, and
they did, the ice melted and Calmar's
third round rally went out like Bonn
barber Wells did, when Palzcr, our
champion, landed on him. In the
winning eighth Hustvedt hit TO short
and was an easy out at first. Quail
ley drew pass and Hislop sacrihced
Qualley to second. Bernatz made a
prptty single to right and scored
him. Then just to show Heiser that
he meant well Riggs singled to right
31d Bernatz came home, and the fat
ted calf was killed and all made
merry, as it meant the game was
all in Decorah's bag. Just to end the
inning Manager Shea handed oft a
