WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--How John
ID. Archbold, boss OF Standard OIL and
elusive quarry for years of subpoena
and process-servers, tB himself essay
ing the role OF amateur subpoena
server, was the interesting story
which leaked out here today, according
to reports. Spice is added to the spec-
tacle in that Archbold is the ex-offlcio
agent of the money trust investigating
committee and his prospective ~vic-
tim" is William Rockefeller. his own
partner in Standard Oil.
House officials found they couldn't
get near Rockefeller with the sub

said he had failed to enter the portals
of 26 Broadway and had been told
that Rockefeller was seriously i'll and

the subpoena, the sergeant-at-arms
made another visit to New York. re-
1 turning yesterday. To-day, 1t was said
that John D. Archbold had agreed to
assist in serving the subpoena upon

comforting with Rockefeller, advising
him of the intentions of the money

to the house committee.

self might be subpoenaed.
Still another Standard Oil head,

said to be desired by the committee.

conference today were instructed not
to negotiate with the Greek plenipo-
tentiaries until Greece signs an ar
mistice agreement, 1t was learned

che Greeks either ratify the protocol
for an arrnistice that was signed at
Bagthche by Turkey, Bulgaria, Ser
via and Montenegro. or sign a sepa-
rate agreement with Turkey.
The Greek envoys already are in
London for the conference and the
Turkish representatives were expect
ed to reach there tonight. It was
news of continued fighting today on
both land and sea by Greeks and
Turks around Janina that led the
government to take this step.

The large vote which Mr.. Ans
den received in the June primar-
les for nomination of state sena-
tor from the 3lst, senatorial dis
trict; is an indicative of the es-
TEEN in which he is held and the
confidence the people of the dis
trict have in him after having
had him serve them in the same
capacity in two previous legisla
lures. In fact the democrats
probably realized the hopeless
ness of any attempt to defeat him
and failed to place candidate
against him Mr.. Amsden was
among the first settlers in the
county, and still owns the farm
which he homesteaded, though
he now lives in Milbank, and is

SAMUEL 5. LOCkHART

The law relating to county af-

rule restricting an officer to two
consecutive terms, for the office
of county judge requires not on
ly technical knowledge Of law,
but the handling of probate mat
ters when the estates of widows
and orphans divided and d is

justice and integrity. The peo-
pie of Grant county in their con
tlnued eelection of Judge Lock

The republican candidate for
Register of Deeds, has been a
resident Of the county for over
20 years, and is one of the pio
neer settlers and prominent citi-
zens of the south end of the coun
ty. He was for over two years
the deputy county treasurer and
is an expert accountant and good

Office of register of deeds could
be placed in more competent
hands than that of Mr.. Lars G..
Lundquist Mr.. Lundquist is a
republican in politics, and has al
ways taken an active interest in

A. j. LINDAHL

The Republican candidate for
county treasurer, is now and has
been nearly four years past the
faithful deputy under John O..
Nelson as county treasurer, and
right here the Herald Advance
wants to bear witness that Mr..
Nelson has been one Of the most
efficient treasurers the county
has ever had for the collection of
delinq lent taxes, some OF which
had been unpaid for years, and
the vigilance Of Mr.. Nelson in
looking after and collecting per-
sonal taxes without fear or favor
has been great saving to the
county. Mr.. Lindahl purposes
keeping up this work and his
election will mean that the same
administration Of affairs and the
same vigilance IN tax collections
will be continued, 50 that all may
bear their rightful share Of the
burdens Of taxation. Mr.. Lin
dahl came to Grant county With
his father. who settled in Troy
township 3 years ago, and is a
young man Of sterling qualities
and will make a successful and
reliable treasurer.

WILLIAM JENNINGS

Has also served two years as
sheriff of the county, and is a
candidate for his second term.
The Office of Sheriff of Grant
county was at one time an office
that was eagerly sought, but Of
late years the emOluments have
been so small that 1t has not been
an office to attract asplrantS.
Indeed the returns from the Off
ce have been SO meager that some
recent Sheriffs have been barely
able to pay the necessary eXpen
eeS which the office entailed up
on them Notwithstanding this
fact a good deal depends upon
the good Judgment and activity
of the sheriff, and it is necessary
that the right kind of a man be
placed in the Office. That vii
liam Jennings has always proved
faithful and efficient IN every
trust imposed upon him is a We'll
known matter of record, and his
experience and knowledge of the
duties of the office, gained not
only in the past two years but in
the former times when the coun
ty twice before honored him with
an election to the Office, peculiar
lv qnalify him, and are a guar
antee that he will acceptably per
form its duties.

ever been before. Let every
business man in Milbank put his
shoulder to the wheel and make
a mighty effort to make it sue
cess. Let us provide for a bic
