AS ASSISTANT
WASHINGTON, May 1910

slstant secretary OF the Interior.

Bo Sweeney has been leader In

The office Of assistant secretary

Death of Joel Peterson.

Joel Peterson, young man OF
about 80 years of age, died at Mercy
hospital last night at near midnight
Of embolism, a clot of blood in the
circulation, induced by catarrhal
jaundice. Mr.. Peterson was an en-
tire stranger to everyone here, hav-
Ing been brought to the hospital last
Friday from Williams where he had
been i'll at his boarding place, for
about three weeks. He came from
some town in Nebraska to Williams
to work as a carpenter and was i'll
at the time of his coming. DR..
O'Connor of Williams accompanied
him to this city last week and the
patient was then in a delirious con-
dition, so nothing could be learned
of his relatives, further than the
address of his father, to whom a
telegram has been sent. The body
is being held until Instructions az
to its disposition are received.

Bandit Couple in Limbo.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: Il said I'd
get them and I've done it," said
Sheriff Lund today when he an
nounced that Elmer Margerum and
wife were found in the heart Of an
Indian reservation in South Dakota
and are now under arrest.
This pair, after hiring livery
auto and driver at the Knutson gar
age at Calender, held him up two
miles out of town and at the point
of a gun appropriated his watch,
IS and the car. After binding the
driver and throwing him into corn
field, the couple proceeded on with
the car to which they stuck until the
chase got too hot. Then they desert
ed it and escaped through a corn
field.
The sheriff, provoked at the easy
manner in which the bandit couple
made their escape, swore he would
find them and he has now kept his
word. Margerum and wife were trac-
ed to Sioux City, from there into
Nebraska and finally into South Da-
kota, where the arrest was made.

Misusing Old Horse,

planned to the humane officers today

old delivery horse used daily. They
say the animal is old and poor and
appears very weak, but is compelled
to do full days work. Yesterday
afternoon or last evening the old
horse fell upon the pavement on
West Elm street and it required con-
siderable whipping on the part of
the driver to get it upon its feet
again. The Freeman-Tribune knows
how the women can escape being de-
pressed by witnessing such sights.

met last night for the first time this
season, at the Rev. R. R. Percy home

Fine Weather for Election.

This has been an ideal day for the
voters to turn out and exercise the
duties of sovereigns. However,
ideal weather used to play havoc
with the totals at the bottom of the
tally sheets, as farmers would re-
main in the fields picking corn in
stead of going to the polls. But it
is now predicted that the advent of
the automobile will change this and
that farmers will take a few min
utes to drive to the polls and express
their choice of candidates. After
the returns are in the politicians
will be able to figure out whether
the vote is increased or diminished
by fair weather.

Over thirty guests were present and
the house was seasonably decorated
with black cats, witches and other
Halloween emblems. Games, music
and fortune telling were the amuse-

later in the evening Halloween
lunch was served on small tables,
the place cards being also decorated
in a truly Halloween manner. This
party last night is the twenty-eighth
given this year by the Misses Bur-
ton to the members Of the east side
mission and their efforts to provide
pleasant occasions for the students
with whom they are associated have
been mutually agreeable.

LEAGUE FIRST IN
STATE TO RESPOND
Commercial League Receives Letter
Yesterday Stating Ap-
probation.

The secretary of the Webster City
Commercial League, J. A. Boeye.
who wrote Saturday to Des Moines
concerning the corn special, yester-
day received a letter from D. c.
Chamberlin of Des Moines, the Or
iginator of the idea of Iowa send
ing train load Of corn to the starry
ing Belgians. Mr.. Chamb erlin stat
ed his qualification over the spirit
which prompted the commercial
league of this city to grasp this idea
and push it at once. He also stated
that Hamilton county was the first
to respond to the call. Close on her
heels came Webster county, from Ft.
Dodge, which is eagerly taking up
the idea of sending cornmeal, oat-
meal, ETC., to the starving women
and children in Belgium.
Several have already responded
with money for this cause, the idea
of a bushel of corn or it's equivalent
having met with instant favor in
this city. Money has begun to come
in and by the middle Of the week it
is thought the actual corn from the
country will begin to come. The
league has found that they will be
able to procure 100 pound sacks
stamped with any names they see
fit for the sum of 8 cents apiece, and
If it is decided to grind old corn, it
may be ground here in the city and
a car filled here with the meal. This,
however, is not decided, the question
of new or old corn still being under
advisement.
1t is possible that the schools,
lodges, women's clubs, etc., will take
the matter up as body and join in
this concerted movement to relieve
the starving in Europe.

Eleventh Hour Attacks.

The Freeman Tribune looks with
disfavor upon attacks upon candi-
dates sent out in the closing hours
of a campaign when it Is too late
for the attacked person to refute
them. The average voter gives lit
tie credence to these late onslaughts,
which fact is to the credit OF the
electorate. During the closing days
of the present campaign a dispatch
was sent out from Des Moines Bit
terly assailing Judge Quarton, both
as citizen and judge. The dispatch
Is probably the product of the fer
tile mind of Ora Williams, the well
known Des Moines newspaper cor
respondent. Mr.. Williams Is an adept
at eleventh hour attacks, but the
people are becoming so well &C
euainted with him and so familiar
with his methods that political
screeds bearing the earmarks Of this
we'll huOWu pOiiliSdi uSAoooS o'o
weathercock have little or no influ-
ence. Mr.. Williams exercised his
Imagination to the fullest extent
against Judge Lee during the clos
ing hours Of the primary campaign
and the stuff he sent out from Des
Moines was remarkable as an ex-
ample of his wonderful abilities in
the line of fiction. Hence, SO far as
the Freeman-Tribune is concerned,
it chooses to regard the late assault
upon Judge Quarton as one Of Mr..
Williams examples of making some
thing out of nothing. OF course
Congressman Woods is in nowise re-
sponsible for these attacks upon
Quarton and should not suffer at the
POLLS because Of then.

The basement of the Hanrahan &

somebody Saturday or Sunday night
and four pairs of rubber topped
boots stolen. The basement window
was broken to gain entrance. The

room, probably on account of the
presence there of Dennis" the

nothing but rubber boots in the
