Oglesby's Defeat Not Unexpected.

ObASSOy y NSASeN 1NSN SASNPS~eSNs
RUDE Oglesby, defeated by Jas. T.
Bradshaw for railroad and ware
house commissioner, complains
about his defeat as though he had
been treated unfairly by the voters.
The simple truth is that Oglesby
got far better support than he de-
served. He refused to join with his
Democratic colleague and regularly
allied himself with the Republican
member of the board. Long before
his term expired 0glesby had justly
earned the severe criticisms so free
ly INDUCED by the Democrats of
Missouri, and it is not surprising
that he was defeated in the prima-
ries. but the surprise is that he got
so many votes.--Glasgow Missouri

Big EMBEZzLEMENT
CASE FOR TRIAL

Langdon, N. d., June 1.-The Grim
inal calendar for the term Of district
court called by Judge Kneeshaw to be
held in Langdon, opening on Wednes-
day, June IL, contains eighteen cases
of which fourteen are pig cases, many
of them having stood on the calendar
of several preceding terms of court
and having been continued over.
The most important criminal case
set for trial at the June term is the
embezzlement case in which Otto Sund,
agent Of the Osnabrock farmers ele-
vator stands charged with the misap-
preparation of funds. Although in the
charge he is alleged to have embezzled
some $1,000 it is understood from
statements by Osnabrock parties that
testimony when the Isl comes to
trial will disclose the fact that Sund's
d~efalcations exceed upwards of $10,-
900 and that his misappropriation of
funds has been traced through his en-
tire period of employment as agent of
the elevator.

sess 1t to a convincing degree. She
will impersonate a young-old woman,
broad minded, free from affectation
and possessing a keen sense of hui
nor, nothing absurd or ridiculous es-
capes her attention, and being fond Of
excitement as a mild stimulant, she
persuades her two grandsons whom
she adores, into all sorts of extrava-
ganee, and a visit to a restaurant of
shady character for dinner is the CHI
mas OF her adventure. OF course.
Granmum, as she is called by the
family, is not aware Of the character
of the place, and complacently waits
for a rather elaborate dinner. Present
ly, however, the police raid the restau-
rent and all is excitement with a ner-
vous desire to be somewhere else in a
hurry. Granmum is hustled into the
street, not politely but vigorously,
hence her disheveled appearance later.
Arriving home they fine the house III
darkness and the doors locked, and
the only means Of entering the house
is by climbing up the ivy In front Of
the house to an open window. This is
done by Granmum and the boys. This
adventure leads to an explanation. The
boys are ambiguous and Granmum sus-
tains them. Following this incident.

bond has been taken from Granmum

The Girl of the Golden West, etc, but
her triumph in any of these has not
been greater than as Roxana in Mo-
body's Widow, a character that seems
to fit her like the proverbial glove.
Her supporting company is identical
with that which gave life and vitality
to the comedy in New York City, where
it enjoyed a run for seven months last
season, and includes Bruce McRae,
Adelaide Prince, Rex McDougall, Edith
Campbell, Alice Claire Elliott, Minor

The production emphasizes TO the
smallest detail the wonderful car and
distinction which David Belasco incor-
porates into all his productions.
