people control the whole system
Of government, you should vote
to retain the same officers in of

advocated frequent elections and
rotation in Office, and it is pretty
generally agreed that he was our
greatest exponent of Democratic
principles. If he had meant
that we should nominate and
elect the same people to fill the
same Office, he would not have
advocated frequent elections.

Mr.. Howe's pictures included va

Different comedy pictures were in
PRODUCED during the program of two
hours. and as the finale was shown a
realistic picture taken from the head
of railroad train travelling thru a

The Howe pictures are made even
more realistic by the aid of the oper-
ator's assistants on the stage, who
work the noise machines that produce
the sounds of falling water, the wl1irr
of automobiles, the roar Of trains ETC.
Incidentally, too. the pianist. an excel

HEIRS OF kuHLEAfANN ESTATE
ASK COURT TO plsAPPRovE
SALES At AUCTION.
REFEREE ACCEPTED HIGHER
BID AFTER THE AUCTION
Difference Between Buyers Bids at
Auction and Private Offer Was $1.372
in Favor Of Latter Bid - Land in
Question Northwest Of State Center
Case Not Decided.

Efforts to have the court disapprove
and set aside sales of land of the
Henry Kuhlemann estate. that was
sold at public auction by referee to
partition the estate, was made before
Judge willett in the district court
Thursday afternoon and this morning.
The land, comprising ISL acres. is six
miles northwest Of state Center.
One piece Of eighty-one acres was
sold by c. H. vanLaw, the referee, on
Oct. "a, to Lewis Smith. Of st. An
thony for $5S an acre. Another piece
OF eighty acres was sold to George
Alexander. of Minerva township. for
$40 an acre.
Late Bidder Shows Up.
According to the terms of the sale
Smith and Alexander paid 10 per cent
on the purchase price, and made ar
rangements to pay the balance when
deeds were furnished March l. Soon
after the sale A. F. Smith, of Montour,
approached the referee and offered to
pay more for the land. For the eighty
one acres Lewis Smith bought A. r.
Smith said he would pay $40 an acre,
an increase OF $12 an acre over Lewis
Smiths bid He also agreed to pay
SIS an acre for the eighty Alexander
bought. or S. an acre more than
Alexander had hidden. The referee ac-
cepted the bid and took deposit OF
10 per cent on the price from Smith.
Lewis Smith and Alexander were
then notified that their bids had been
raised, and IL they wanted to bid again
they could do so. Neither paid any
attention to the notice.
Want Sale Approved.
Later Lewis Smith and Alexander
flied application in court to have the
sale to them at public auction ap-
proved by the court, as was necessary
Against this approval heirs OF the
Kuhlemann estate filed objections. ana
1t was on the application and objectons
thereto that the hearing was held be-
fore Judge Willett.
The heirs objected chiefly because A.
F. Smith offered to pay 1892 more ZOE
the land than Lewis Smith and George
Alexander had hidden. II was also
argued by the attorney for the helrs
that A. F. Smith was one OF the ap,
nraisSss who had appraised the land
Smith bought ut aeb an acre or - an
acre more than Smith bid.
Attorneys representing Lewis Smith
and Alexander urged approval of the
sale to their clients because the sale
was held legally, and Smith and Alex lex
ander were the highest bidders. The
assertion was made that the referee
had no right to. accept A. F. Smiths
hid or his money after the sale was
over. and that Lewis smith and
Alexander. having bought legally: were
not bound to respond to the referees
notice that A. +. Smith had hidden
higher and to come and bid again.
The effort to have the sale set aside
is. in measure, unusual. and Just
such a similar case has not appeared
in the district court Tor some ulhe.
IIznaIlv such sales to partition are ap-
proved without question or contest !.
Judeer willett took the case under ad-
yisement and asked the lawyers to ME
written briefs.
