FAIR SIZED ATTENDANCE

The instruments used by the COM
pany, the balalaika, sound and look
very much like the mandolin, though
they are sweeter in tone. They are
also of different sizes, the smaller
ones being used for the melody, the
next larger size playing the accom-
paniments, and the largest being us
ed to render the bass parts. They
are the national instrument OF Rus
sia, but are genuine novelty in this
country. The players in the orches-
ira are fine musicians and to give
variety to their concert also play
brass instruments. They rendered
the overture OF Poet and Peasant up
on their brass instruments In very
creditable manner. Playing a stand

Republican Candidate for Governor

Issues.
"A FAIR SIZED CROWD OUT.
Address Well Received by the Audi

Many Friends.
FAIR SIZED CROWD OUT.

Hon. Geo w. Clarke lieutenant
governor of Iowa and republican
nominee for governor, spoke to a
fair sized audience at the court
house Saturday evening. John D.
Porter, chairman of the county CEN
trail committee, introduced the
speaker and the company C band
furnished music for the occasion.
Mr.. Clark confined himself almost
entirely to the discussion of affairs
in Iowa. He insisted that the re-
publican party in this state had been
very progressive during the past ten
years and that nearly all Of the leg
islation now demanded nationally by
the people was upon the Iowa statute
books. put there through the wisdom
of the republican party. The repub-
lican party of this state had been re-
sponsive to popular demand and had
been led by men who had the inter-
est of all the people at heart. Mr..
Clarke said it was with pride, he be-
lieved just pride. that he referred
to the fact that he had been a mem
ber of the legislature during this
great era of advancement.
The republican party of Iowa gave
us the two cent fare law, the prim-
airy nomination law. abolished the
free pass by which railroads sought
to influence legislation and get fav-
ors from men of political influence.
The republican party also gave Iowa
the safety appliance law to protect
workmen In the performance OF their
duties. 1t also enacted the anti
child labor law, the compulsory edu-
cation law. the pure food law and
the law prohibiting unfair competi-
ton. II had been the practice with
certain large interests to compel re-
tail merchants and others to handle
their goods or be put out OF busi-
ness. Now prices must be uniform
all over the state. For instance, the

A Narrow Escape.

While driving a party of four
Fort Dodge men to their homes Sat-
urday eveung from this city. Chas.
Christensen. local auto livery man,
had what might have proven most
serious accident. When near Dun
combe the party met horse and
carriage coming east. The driver
of the carriage did not turn out but
headed his horse straight for the To-
cal mans machine. Mr.. Christen-
son was compelled to steer his car
into a ditch by the road side where
1t turned turtle and allowed the
horse to continue on the road, thus
saving the occupants Of the carriage
from probable injury. Had it not
been that the men in the car had
the presence OF mind to jump at the
moment the auto started down the

DIED FROM EFFECTS
OF BLOW ON HEAD!

The dispute ended with Rice striking
Carney a vicious blow over the. head
with full beer bottle, one they evil
IDENTIFY, had taken along with them
to drink on the way. The blow fell
ed Carney to the ground, where he
lay until gentleman by the name
of Ahrens happened along later in
an auto and picked the man up. In
the meantime Rice returned to the
ditchers' camp and told what he had
done, informing Mr.. Trotter that If
he wanted Carney to work for him
he better go after him.
1t was at first thought that Car
ney was not seriously hurt and while
he did not go to work the next day,
Monday, he was well enough to do
SO Tuesday. However, day or two
later he began to get worse and a
doctor was called. The physician or
dered the man taken to the hospital
and he was therefore brought here
The injured man, howev-
er, was beyond help and gradually
sank until he breathed his last Sun
day afternoon.
3 Last Thursday the man who
struck the fatal blow, realizing the
seriousness of what he had done,
skipped out and his whereabouts are
Of course unknown.
H. H. Carney of Lake City, father
Of the young man who has just died,
and who by the way is also ditch
was notified of his sons
condition and he arrived here Satur-
day morning. He took the body
home for burial today.

Standard Oil Company cannot sell
its products in Fort Dodge cheaper
than it does in Webster City This
prevents it underselling a competi-
tor until he is driven out of bust
ness, when of course prices would
be increased, the consumer paying
back what temporary advantage he
had received. Iowa has been a pion-
eer in progressive legislation and the
republican party presented leaders
who were pioneers in the movement.
In only one other state had such
progressive legislation been enacted.
OF course Mr. Clarke meant Wiscon-
sin, but he did not say SO. Students
of economic problems point to Iowa
and Wisconsin as models and hold
them UP as examples where the prin-
ciple of the square deal between the
people and the corporations, the pro-
ducer and the consumer, the carrier
and the patron, is in actual opera
tion.
Mr.. Clarke insisted that the re-
publican party in the nation was
along these lines and that
it was the real party of progress.
These things cannot be changed in
a day. 1t takes time, but develop
ment is going on and the republican
party will keep in the forefront of
the procession. %.s...-.
The address was we'll received by
the audience and Mr.. Clarke made
many friends by his straightforward

LOCALS DE-
FEAT BOONE
Coach Meyers Proteges Journey to
Boone and Return Home
Victors by the Score
of 6 to 0.
HOME BOYS SHOW FINE FORM
Many Local Rooters Surprised at Re.
suit of Game-Locals Show
Much Improment.

BY playing their game in faultless
style and missing no chances for adj
vancement, the local high school
foot ball team managed to defeat the
fast Boone aggregation Saturday af-
ternoon, on the latter's field, by a
score of 6 to 0. This score comes
as considerable Of surprise to many
of the local rooters. However, the
wearers of the purple and gold show
ed much better form in Saturdays
session than was expected and had
their heavier opponents on the run
at all stages in the contest. Had 1t
not been for the star playing of
Leese and Cranmer of the Boone ag-
gregation, the score would have been
much more one sided. The stunts by
these two played havoc with many
gains for Meyers squad. Although
the entire local bunch played in
their best manner much of the credit
for victory must be given to the line
men. In this respect the session was
one sided, the Boone men being al
most helpless against the local line
who found holes in the Boone fight
ing front for long gains almost at
will.
For individual work the two local
ends and Cranmer and Leese, of the
Boone team, took large part of the
glory. Leese, who is an all-state
center, played the three middle line
positions much of the time, while
Cranmer on his half position was
the only man to make downs for his
teammates. Daniels pulled off his
best play against Boone and in ad-
dition to making the lone touch
down, is to be credited for much Of
the defensive work. Kelly on the
other end also showed up well and
had things working in his own way
at all times, passing his opponents
up on end runs and stopping them
in their tracks when they attempted
to pass with the ball.
On the opening play Berggren
kicked off to Cranmer, who returned
the pigskin to the locals thirty yard
line, but there it stopped. BY work
ing forward passes and line smashes,
with no sign OF fumbles. the locals
pushed the oval over for their first
count in eight minutes The third
quarter barely missed giving the
home squad their second score when,
with the ball on the one yard line in
Boone's possession, time was called.
In Saturdays contest the work of
the home boys in handling the ball
was the best that has been done by
them this year Six times Maxon
called for a forward pass, and as
many times the oval was hurled
through the air and struck in the
arms of waiting player to be ad-
vanced for several yards Not play
In open formation was missed, and
the locals played four quarters with
not tumble. This. compared with
former games this season, shows that
Meyers proteges have taken a de-
cided step in Improvement.
