OCTOBER TERM COURT
A Big Docket Ready For Postponed
Opening Next Week.

Judging from the size of the dock
ct, the October term of district court
which convenes next Monday after
noon, with Hon. Henry Silwold, of
Newton, as presiding judge, will be
one of the busiest ever held in Ma
haska county. The docket contains
total of 1874 cases, 205 of which re-
quire a jury, but, of course. only a
small portion of these can be heard
during the two months of the term,
although, as usual, many of them
will be settled outside of court by
the parties involved. OF the 1894 cas-
es, 50 are in the probate division, 10
equity, 1870 law, 10 garnishment and
Is criminal OF the 10 equity caus-
es, Al are suits for divorce, and the
list also includes 10 liquor injunc-
ton suits. A trifle over 70 of the
law causes are new cases, while the
remainder have been held over from
preceding terms.
The October term of court was
originally slated to open Monday.
Oct. 5, but was postponed a week by
Judge Silwold on account of the Fall
Festival. The petit jurors have been
ordered to report at 1870 Monday,
October IS, a week. after the opening
of court. The grand jurors will re-
port at the same time court con-
venes, and will Immediately begin
their investigations of criminal mat
ters. There are now thirteen cases
on the docket awaiting investigation
by the grand jury, the defendants
having been bound over from justice
of the peace courts, and these, togeth-
err with those cases which the jurors
look into at the request of the county
attorney, will probably mean a rather
long session of the grand jury next
week

Candidate for State Representative.


A lot of good men have served Ma
haSka county as representative in the
state assembly, and in the future a
lot more will do likewise-but the
voters will have to look far and ex-
anime carefully to find a better man
for the place than Thomas ]. Will
son, of East Des Moines township.
the republican candidate for this nigh
ly responsible place.
Mr.. Wilson is not only a successful
farmer and money maker. but ne
knows how to spend his money to get
the most out of it, and his neighbors
and friends who know him best are
those VINO hold him in the highest eS-
TEEN. Everything about ais place
and everything in connection with his
life proves that he builds not alone
for today, but for the years that are
to come, and he is always willing to
pay a fair price for what he wants.
For these reasons and for many 9TH
ers that might be cited, he Is just the
sort of a man who is wanted and
needed to help manage the affairs of
the state. and he should be. as he
no doubt viii be, elected by a large
ma jority at the coming election.
As well as Mr. Wilson is known
the county, his country
nome is as we'll or even better known.

U. S. ORDERS 2 DIRIGIBLES
As a Result Of Observations Carried
on at the Scene Of the
War in Europe.

New York, Oct. 6. - The Omitted
States government has ordered two
dirigible airships for war purposes,
according to local builders as tae re-
suit Of observations carried on at the
scene of the war In Europe.
Heretofore the army officials of this
country have been opposed to dirigi-
bles, but ii is believed that the re-
port of Col. Samuel Reaper, u. s. A.
is responsible for the change of opin-
ion. Col. Reaper studied the situa-
ton abroad and reported TO the gov
eminent three weeks ago. Just what
his report was is not known. but the
order for tie two airships leads to
the belief that they have been used
successfully abroad.

Defective Drainage Ditch.

The county supervisors are this
