WILL Not
ASK G%OVERNORSHIP

Fergus Falls, Mimi, April 14.-Sen.
Ole Sageng, the man behind the
plow," will not file for the progressive
nomination for governor. He made
this announcement in a statement that
he issued here yesterday. His reason.
briefly. is hat he wishes primarily to
contribute to the defeat Of the brew
cry and saloon interests Of the state,
which, he says will continue their
domination in the event that either
Governor Eberhart is reelected Or a
democratic governor is chosen.
Only Hope Is in Lee.
The only. hope Of defeating the liq-
uor interests, Mr.. Sageng believes. is
in the nomination of William E. Lee
Of Lone Prairie on the republican tick
ct. Hence. in order to further the
cause OF Lee, Senator Sageng will not
file, lest his candidacy might detract
from the interest in the race Of the
Long Prairie a%spirant.

JACOB SPEELMAN
PASSES AWAY
Well Known Resident Dies Satur-
day Morning.

Jacob Speelman passed away
at his home on Norman Street
Saturday morning at the age Of
70 years, l month and 23 days.
Mr.. Speelman had been failing
in health for some time and his
passing away was not entirely
unexpected.
Jacob Speelman was born in
Hampshire county, Virginia on
Nov. Is, 1884. At the age Of "a
on the first day Of April. 1858 he
was united in marriage to Mary
M. Young in Grant county, 1n-
diana. In 1866 he moved to
Tama county, Iowa where he en-
gagged in the blacksmith business
and later, in the spring of '69
moved to Cherokee, Iowa where
he continued his trade and also
filed en- government land, his
supply point at that time being
sixty miles distant at Sioux City.
In the early spring of '83. Mr..
Speelman contracted the western
fever and with his family moved
to Montana settling on Powder
river. From here he went to
Camp Crook, S. d., where he
entered into business, moving to
Ekalaka in 1889. He built the
present Ekalaka Hotel during
his first year in Ekalaka and con-
Quoted the same for number of
years when he finally disposed of
the property and purchased the
home property on Norman street
where he resided at the time of
his death. That Mr.. Speelman
was very industrious will be
noticed by the beautiful and
commodius home that he himself
had erected in Ekalaka. He was
a kind husband and a faithful
father, a good neighbor and al
ways ready to assist in the de-
velopment Of the town and
country.
There is left to mourn his
death, his wife; four sons, Sala-
thial F.; Moreau B.; VIM. E. and
Andrew j., all of Ekalaka; six
daughters, Mrs. N. C. Preston
of Great Falls, Mont. Mrs. C. S.
Hockett of Alberta, Canada; Mrs.
j. w. Thompson of Ekalaka; Mrs.
M. w. Burdet.. of Spokane,
Wash. Mrs. H. Holman of Camp
Crook, S. d., and Mrs. B. F.
Castleberry of Ekalaka besides
55 grand children and 18 great
grand children. Eight of the
children and about 80 grand
children were present at the
time of his death.
Fifty-two years ago while a
revival meeting was being held
in his home town in Indiana, Mr..
Speelman discarded his apron in
his blacksmith shop and followed
the congregation to the river
nearby where he was baptized
and took up the christian life.
He was a member of the Chris
tian church and was one of the
prime movers in establishing a
church in Ekalaka, having do
mated literally and always ready
to lend aid. The funeral SER
vices were held at the family

When the three year home
stead law first went into effect
the Mail published a construction
of the law, which construction
was sent out from the Dickinson
office, and was to the effect that
any homesteader was entitled to
five months leave Of absence
each year but that the said leave
would not apply as part of his
residence, and that he would be
required to make 36 months or
three years actual residence up
on the land before final proof
could be made.
However, according to infor-
nation received from the General
Land Office at Washington this
construction Of the law is not
correct, and when the law is
complied with in the matter of
notifying the local land office of
the five months leave each year
this five months is counted as
residence and will be allowed in
making final proof. In other
words. but 21 months of actual
residence are required on the
land.
The following is self cxplana-
tory and is an extract from the
regulations issued by the De-
partment in Circular No. 2OS. a
copy of which is now upon our
desk:
After the establishment of
residence the entryman is per-
mitted to be absent from the
land for one continuous period of
not more than five months in
each year following, provided
that upon absenting himself for
such period he has filed in the
local land office notice of the
beginning of such intended alb
sence. He must also. file notice
with the local land Office upon
his retnrn to the land following
such period of absence.
I'm according such periods of
absence the congress has dealt
literally with the homestead en-
tryman and bona fide continuous
residence during the remaining
portions of the thrce-year period
must be clearly shown.
"A second period of absence
Immediately following the first
period. even though the two
periods occur in date Of the es-
tablishment of actual residence,
will not be recognised, as it was
never contemplated that an alb
sence was permissible in excess
of six months in view of the
specific provision for contest pro-
vided for in section 2197 of the
Revised Statutes. There snculd
be at least some substantial
period of actual continuous resi-
dence upon the land separating
the periods of absence accorded
under the statute. Only those
protracted absences with respect
to which notice has been given
as required by the statute will
be respected either in case of
contest or in final proof. This
law does not repeal or modify
the acts of March 2, 1889 (25
Stat. 854). June rs, 1910 (36

CARIlI. ESSNESS WITH HOLIDAY
DECORATIONS MIGHT CAUSE
MUCH DISASTER.

With Christmas only one week off,
nearly every business firm and house
hold is preparing some sort of decor
alton suitable for the Yuletide sea-
son. At this time it is very essen
tial that the people of Mitchell be
cautious in the use of draperies and
cotton decorations in order to pre-
vent UNNECESSARY" fires.
Any of the frail material general
ly used for the preparation OF Christ
mas symbols might easily catch fire,
especially when. they are draped
about electric lights and chandeliers.
In many of the stores where gas
lighting plants I used, the decora.
lions should be very carefully made.
A small blaze in the business dis
trict at this time of the year could
easily cause a stampede in, the crowd
ed stores. Not only would a blaze
endanger the citizens to injury, but
it might cause considerable loss to
the merchants, as the water and
chemicals would badly damage the
goods. Following are some Of the
don't that should be observed;
Don't be careless with matches.
This danger is greatest of all.
Don't allow use of inf1ammable
decorations for trees.
Don't place candles on trees. Use

Tabor, S. D.-To run into a swift
ly moving passenger train with his
automobile. in which. himself, his
wife and two-year-old child were
riding and escape without any OF the
occupants of the machine being in
jured or killed was the thrilling ex-
perience of Robert A. Dvoracek, a
young farmer living near Tabor.
He had just purchased the ma

infant child for a spin when he APP
preached the railroad crossing. The
train was rapidly approaching and at
this critical juncture the yiung farm
err lost control of Che machine and 1t
ran full-tilt into the passenger train.
Fortunately the automobile was net
thrown under the wheels of the train
or all it's occupants would have been
killed, but instead it was thrown off
the high grade. The front part of the
automobile, including the wheels,
was completely demolished. :
The train was stopped and the
crew hurried bac kto the scene OF
the accident, expecting to find that
some at least of the occupants Of the
automobile had been killed. But
when they werey rescued from under
the automobile it was found that be-
yond a few slight scratches none OF
the victims of the wreck was injured.

a verdict for Mrs. Frances Hall, adj
m~in:stratrix, against the Dakota Mu-
tual Insurance company, for $5,-
Frank Hall, a resident of Condo,
died on June z, 1912. In looking
over his papers, Mrs. Hall found q
receipt from the insurance company
for an insurance policy covering ia
premium from juno 10, 1911, to
June 10, 1912. The policy was for
$4,000, and the widow made O note
given by Hall for the amount OF the
premium, which stated if the note
was not paid when due, on June i,
1872, the insurance policy for which
the note was given in payment Of
the premium thereon, would be null
and void.
Hall had not paid the note, but
the widow brought suit, her attor-
neys contending that the company
had taken no steps to cancel the
policy, and it was therefore in full.
force and effect. Judge G. g., Sher-
wood, OF the circuit court for Cod

ton of the plaintiff and awarded the
widow the face of the policy with In
