pert manner in which he has Topped

a point where they want 70 see him

Burlington claims that Hartmann is

While II is very probable that there
will be considerable money In sight

not likely that the betting fraternity

SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
Many Signatures to Initiative Petition
Alleged to Be For9eries.

liurOn-A sensation was sprung
here by the announcement of the dis
covery OF forgeries of signatures TO
the initiative petition TO repeal the
Richards primary law.
James Cofey chairman Of the Ed.
). Johnson Democratic state Organiza-
ton, brought the blank petition TO
Huron for signatures, and he also
filed it with the secretary of state on
March with others. The legislature
Immediately submitted is to direct
vote OF the people at tho next general
election
Those in charge of the investigation
believe they are on the track of the
person who committed the forgeries.
Arrests are expected TO follow. The
statutory penalty in this case is $500
and penitentiary Imprisonment for not
more than five years for each sigma
ture forged.
Seventeen signatures in all were OBJ
tanned TO the petition from the city OF
Huron and vicinity. ten Of which are
said to be forgeries. Different per-
sons whose names were forged TO the
petition have already signed affidavits
declaring they never saw or signed the
petition. These names all appear on
page l3S of the general petition. Per
sons whose names were forged TO the
petition We're presented with photo
graphic copies of the petition certified
by the secretary of state

says there is page after page in the
petition where one person has written

From the samples of seed received

farmers for testing, it is plain that the
seed situation in the state is far bet
ter than usual AS a rule the sam
pies of alfalfa seed contain fewer

ally well. Small grain seed, including
wheat, oats and barley has rarely
failed TO test less than 90 per cent.
Many samples of corn have been test
ed that showed 90 per cent germinat-

been less than so per cent Now, this
does not mean that vigilance should be
relaxed, but it does mean that the

Nearly all the villagers own their

liberal spreading of butter they
have saved and scraped until they

men are not home until Z in the even

London.-A special correspondent
of the Daily Mirror sends from Hav-

ditions in the village OF blangwm,
Pembrokeshire, where women man
the fishing fleet, and at times even
build the houses. They actually work
harder than the men.
Never in all my experience have
known such industry or such uncom-
planning effort" the Rev. ID. M. Pryse,
the Baptist minister, said. MIR. Pryse
and the rector are the only two
Welshmen living in this village, for
all the rest of the $50 persons, all re-
lated to each other, are descended
from the Flemings, who settled near
there in 1895.
Mrs. Mary Palmer. aged 50, is a re-
markable old woman. She walks with
a stick now, and age is making the
burrows deep in her forehead but un-
til few years ago she tramped for
miles selling fish. which she carried

she said, in the interval of catching
