RUBE MCFERREN IS
TWO VOTES AHEAD
Mistake is Made in Addition-Hen.
derson Gets 154 and Me-
Ferren Gets 156.

County Auditor Peterson in add
ing up the results of the recent prim-
ary election from the tally sheet dis
covered yesterday that a mistake of
ten votes had been made in favor of
M. l.. Henderson and against Rube
McFerren, candidates for the legis-
lature. The mistake was made by
the hurried adding of the returns on
the day following the primary. The
county auditor was getting things in
shape for the official count Of the
board and discovered the error. In
cases of this kind there are always
some persons who will insinuate
that something is wrong, but there
can be no question Of doubt raised
in this instance. The figures, except
the footing, are just as first report
ed and published, but the footing
was wrong, giving Mr.. Henderson
ten more votes than he really receiv-
ed. OF course McFerren's lead of
two votes may be overcome by er-
rors found by the official count, but
he now has a slight advantage and
stands little better show of being
found to be the regular nominee
than does Mr.. Henderson.

JUDGE KAMRAR Will.
Have BUSY week
Eight Fort Dodge Saloons Will
Have Fate Decided in District
Court There.

Judge Kamrar of this city is hold.
ing court in Fort Dodge this week
He will have busy week, as cases
set over from the March term OF
court because of Judge Lees resig-
nation, are to be tried.
The fate of eight Fort Dodge sa-
looms against whom injunctions are
sought by Mrs. Joseph Clouse on a
charge of selling liquor to her son,
a minor, will be decided by Judge
Kamrar. Mrs. Clouse asks for a
temporary injunction restraining the
saloons from operating.
One of the important cases to
come up is the hearing of the tenn
porary Injunction restraining the
Fort Dodge Telephone Company
from removing telephones of patrons
who refuse to pay scale of rates
higher than the city claims is al
lowed by the company's franchise.
This franchise was given in 1898.
The telephone company in it's an
swer claims to be working under the
franchise of the Iowa Telephone
Company which is not restrictive as
to rates.
Another important case to be con-
sidered is the application of L. S.
Coffin for consent to sell property to1
the amount of about 100000 in or.
der to pay a $4,000 pledge to the
Y. w. c. A. and another of $500 to
the same institution, and to give
money to relatives who either are
invalids or who are burdened with
the care of invalids.
An action brought by George Co.'S
SON, attorney general of Iowa.1
against the Chicago Great Western,
Illinois Central. Minneapolis G St.
Louis and the Fort Dodge, Des
Moines and Southern Railroads also
will be heard this week in district
court. The state railroad commits

ID the other gypsum mills. This or
Ter has been resisted by the rail-
'oads.
Two other important cases, those
If Mcclure versus the Lehigh Clay
Products Company, and that of
3rownlee versus Hamilton also will

Will Move on Farm.

The Rev. J. @. A. Miller family
are moving from their home in towr
to their farm located about eight
miles southwest of here. Rev. Mil.
Ter has been out to the farm the
past few weeks helping the workmen
tear down the old house. A fine new
home will be built during the sum-
mer and while it is being erected,
the family will camp out on the
farm, using part of the old house
to live in. The new house will be
partly modern and have seven rooms
aside from numerous closets, pantry,
etc. They do not expect to rent
their town home this summer, a
good many pieces of furniture hav-
ing been stored in it until the new
home is completed. Their son,

new Law PRESENTS
some DIFFICULTIES
Country Schools Must Teach Domes-
tic Science, Manual Training
and Agriculture.

The new state law which goes in
to effect in July 1915, carries with
it a train of difficulties for Hamil-
ton county. This law particularly
states that in all country schools the
branches of domestic science, man
ual training and agriculture must be
taught.
The average country school house
is familiar to the mind; one small
room with smaller ante-room in
front and not foot of available
space for the teaching of these
branches. Some six new school
houses have been erected in Hamil-
ton county during the past two or
three years and several of these
have a small room which might be
used for the teaching of these sub
jects. The problem of a stove pre-
sents itself, for domestic science can
not be successfully taught without
some kind of cooking stove. 1t
may be possible for these few
schools to provide small oil stove
which would be safe for children to
use.
The consolidation of schools
would solve the problem effectually,
but it is not probable this will be
accomplished for some years. Unless
the school houses can be arranged
within a year to meet these require
ments, domestic science will be
taught in a rudimentary way, the

saloon and gave as one of the proofs
the fact that Mr.. Chase did not re
ply to the letter which was sent ou
by the league prior to the primaries
in which the candidates were asked
to express themselves on several diff
ferent issues and state just how they
would vote on those questions
These letters were sent to all the
candidates and the fact that Mr..
Chase did not reply was the basis
for marking him wrong" on the
liquor question. He also limited at a
record in the senate showing Sena-
tor Chase to be against prohibition.
Rev. Wright made no direct use of
the name of Mr.. Chase, but made his
identity unmistakable.
The thing which the anti-saloon
league wants to accomplish is the
repeal of the mulct law. The speak
er deplored the underhanded work
done by the committees in the SEN
ate and house and laid at:their door
the failure of the anti-saloon league
to accomplish what they wish. He
said what the league now wants is
a bill passed, placing the drug busi-
ness on a higher basis; prohibiting
the sale of all liquors except alcohol,
and that only in limited quantities.
He paid high tribute to Senator
Kenyon and an expression was TAX

ferent points and the wholesale jew
elry houses received clippings. The
credit of the firm went up accord
ingly. This was the means of call
ing out letters soliciting business.
The partners bought sparingly but
always ordered first class merchan-
disc. Upon receight of the goods
they were packed in trunks and
crates and sent to Clare, Iowa, and
Steven Barr, a brother-in-law OF
Rentz would call for the packages
and hide them about the farm. Lat
er some of the merchandise was
brought to Fort Dodge and stored
in the Baker warehouses in the
name of the Universal School Sup
ply company.
AS time went on after the pur-
chases were made the wholesalers
sent statements asking for settle
ment but they were put off and
promised payment after the holi-
days. When this time arrived the
store was entirely cleaned out and
the owners declared bankrupt. Col
lins disappeared and has not been
located but George Rentz and his
son are at the present time in the
hands of the federal authorities on
the charge of concealing assets.
The men were arrested some time
ago but the goods had been so clev-
erly disposed of that they were not
located until yesterday, when a
warrant was issued to search the
farm of Steve Barner.
A search party was formed of
Maynard Martin, Chief of Police
Jordan and Myron Tullar. The
premises of the Barner farm were
searched and loot was discovered
hidden in various places. In the
barn, in the attic and in the hen
house were found eXquisitely
pieces of silverware, dia
monds, pearls, clocks of every de-
scription and goods worth many
thousands Of dollars.
After submitting the man and
wife to a severe examination they
confessed that there was more about
the farm and that eleven trunks
and cases were in deposit in the
Baker storage rooms under fictitious
names. That on the farm was soon
located and today Mr.. Hicks and At
;orney Files, representing the credi-
.ors, are at work opening boxes and

lge. With several more cases to be
opened and inventoried the value
nay mount up into the tens of
thousands of dollars,

LAD KICKED IN
FACE BY A HORSE
Jens Jenson of Jewell, Thirteen
Years Old, Receives Some
Bad Injuries.

Jens Jenson, thirteen year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Mats Jenson of
Jewell, was badly injured Friday af-
ternoon when kicked by horse.
The lad was walking along the road
when John Koop, who resides be-
tween Jewell and Kamrar, drove by
and asked him if he would check up
the horse he (Koop) was driving.
When he did so the animal kicked
him in the face, breaking both his
nose and cheek bones. The injury
is very painful and it is remarkable
that the lad escaped without his eye
being hurt. He was brought immed-
lately to Mercy hospital in this city
where the bones were set and every
thing done to relieve the intense
pain. The boy, accompanied by his
father and mother, returned home
Saturday afternoon.
