WOMAN RETURNS
Mrs. Kruger Causes Neighbors and
Friends Sleepless Night Sui
eide Was Feared.

On Sunday last, Mr.. and Mrs. Al
bert Kruger, who live on the north
end of Long Lake in Todd county, who
during the past have had more or less
domestic difficulty, took a horse and
buggy and went to the residence of
George Spears, who resides about two
miles from the Kruger residence on
the south end of the lake.
In the afternoon, Mr.. Kruger re-
turned home with the horse and
buggy, Mrs. Kruger stating that she
would stay awhile and then take a
short cut through the woods.
On the way home Mr.. Kruger stop
ped about an hour at neighbors and
thought he would find his wife at
home when he arrived. She was not
there, however, and after waiting a
while he returned to Mr.. Spears place
to find out where she was.
He found that she had left Mr.,
Spears about five o'clock, ostensibly
to return home, Mrs. Spears accom-
panying her a short distance.
Mrs. Kruger did not show up that
night, and as she had frequently
threatened to commit suicide, much
alarm was felt. Sank Centre officials
were notified, and searching parties
were organized and graphing irons
secured with which to drag the lake
During the night searching parties
patrolled the woods and surrounding
country but no trace of the missing
woman could be found.
About eight o'clock Monday night
Mrs. Kruger turned up at a neighbors
and stated that after she left Mrs
Spears she became turned around in
a.cornfeld and then had strayed of
into the woods.
Notwithstanding the severe rain
storm that, had ragged during the in
term her clothing was perfectly dry
and the lady showed no signs Of ex-
posure or hardship.
!, Her, whereabouts curing her alb
sence is a mystery, as she either can
not or will not disclose where she was
during all the time the search was
made.

people of Sank Centre enjoyed two
splendid concerts given by the Minot
Symphony Orchestra, recently organ
lied and directed by Blain Allen, for

During their stay in the city the
musicians conducted themselves as
thorough gentlemen. On the other
hand they were delighttd with the new
Caughren Theatre and with the city.
They will probably return later in the
season with the complete orchestra.

auto rides, roof gardens, theatres and
cabarets. She finally gives her coun-
try home to her old servants and goes
to the city to live.
The situations are extremely funny
and "THE REJUVINATION OF
AUNT MARY" is laugh. from start
to finish.
It is laughter that has made this
play the undoubted triumph of the
decade, and it is sweetness and clean
ness that has enhanced its wonderful
popularity.
The play is in three acts. The first
and last of her country home and the
second in the city where the rejuvina-
ton starts. This great comedy, made
famous by May Robson, will be at the
Caughren Theatre, Sank Centre, on
Friday evening, Sept. rs.

FORMER RESIDENT DETAINED
At Berlin When War Broke Out, But
Will Sail from London on
September 29th.

Miss Pauline Dahlem received a
letter, this week from her friend, Mrs.

who has been stranded in Europe. Mr..
and Mrs. Mcleod and Mrs. Clara Will
liams left their home in Tacoma,
Wash, early in May to tour Europe.
She writes, when war was declared
we were in Berlin, Germany. Such
excitement, you never saw the equal,
people went mad and we were up
against it for some days, as our let
tiers of credit and even our American
Express Cheques were not honored."
They stayed with relatives until they
could leave Berlin; took a special train
just for Americans, into Holland. Tt
was a long and tedious journey, yet
they were treated well by the Dutch.
They remained a few days in Holland,
thence came over the channel and by
rail to London. Saw lots of soldiers
and recruits drilling IN the public
squares, also autos full Of wounded
soldiers who were returned for the
hospitals.
The McLeods remain in London un-
til the 10th of this month, when they
will sail for home on the Lacopa, a
British boat. This is small boat and
will take nine days 20 cross. They
cancelled their return passage on the
Olympic for Oct 9th, preferring to
take smaller boat, so as to gain
time.

the Williams family and they will be
remembered by many Of the older res
idents of the city. They have been

Miss Alta Hilsdale WEEDS Nicholas
Blocker of New York City on
Tuesday Morning.

Tuesday morning, September %, at
ten o'clock at the summer home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. P.
Hilsdale, Spring Parks, Sank Lake,
occurred the marriage of their only
daughter, Alta Hilsdale, to Nicholas
Cuyler Blocker of New York.
The ceremony was extremely sim
pie and quiet only the immediate fam
lily of the bride witnessing the cere-
mony which was read by Rev. S. L.
Mitchell, rector of the Church of the
Good Samaritan, Sank Centre.
This event was a complete surprise
to even the most intimate friends of
the brides family. AS is character
istic of her she insisted that there be
no display and that the affair should
be as plain and simple as possible.
Mr.. Blocker arrived in Sank Cen
ire about nine o'clock Monday even
ing, having been met in st. Cloud by
Miss Alta and her brother Paul with
the Lozier car.
Early Tuesday morning Paul drove
the happy couple to Melrose where
they took the evening train for Min
neapolis. This Thursday evening they
will leave ever the 500 line for Sioux
st. Marie where they will take the
boat down the st. Lawrence for New
York. They will be at home to their
friends at AZ Sydney Place, Brooklyn
after November LIST.
The groom is rising young archi-
tect in New York City and comes
from one of the old families of that
city.
The young couple first became ac-
quainted seven years ago when both
were studying in Paris. The young
man had never been West until he
came to claim his bride, having been
born and reared in New York City.
The bride is from one of Sank Cen
tres best known and most highly re-
spected families. She is an accom-
plished musician and of splendid
character, and her host of friends join
with the Herald in extending felici-
tations over the happy event.

Will BOOST LOCAL
MANS CANDIDACY
SAUK CENTRE CITIZENS WILL
ORGANIZE A MONSTER
DUBOIS CLUB.
WILL BE NON-PARTISAN BODY
MANY REPUBLICANS WILL CO.
OPERATE NEXT MONDAY
EVENING THE TINE.

Sank Centre citizens will honor one
of the prominent men of the city Mon
day evening of next week at which
time a Dubois Club" will be organ
lied.
The purpose of this organization
will be to further the candidacy of DIR.
Julian F. Dubois for congress, re-
CARELESS of political affiliation.
The Herald, although Republican
newspaper, is heartily in accord with
the movement as it believes thorough
ly in Sank Centre people standing
back of Sank Centre citizens and
Sank Centre enterprises.
The genial doctor has been resi-
dent of Stearns county too long to
need any eulogies at the hands of the
Herald.
The gentleman is an active candi-
date for congress to succeed Congress-
man Lindbergh, with more than a
fighting chance of success at the polls
in November. Under the circum-
stances it is but the proper thing for
the citizens of this city and commun-
ity to get back of him in a monster
organization if for no other reason
than to show the voters of the district
as whole that those who have known
the Doctor longest and best have ev-
cry confidence in his integrity and
ability to represent the great Sixth
district in congress.
The meeting will be held at the old
Grand Opera House, corner Of Main
and Fifth street, at eight o'clock Mon
day evening, and it is hoped that
every citizen of Sank Centre and sur
rounding territory will attend and
start the club off with a roster that
will open the eyes of the rest OF the
people of the district.
The membership of this club will
not be confined to the residents OF the
city, but every farmer or laboring
man living in this section is cordially
invited and urged to be present at
this meeting.
The Herald editor is probably as
strict party man as any resident OF
Sank Centre, but as conditions exist
this year he does not feel that the
Republicans have any candidate for
Congress and he will join and boost
for the Dubois Club without any
qualms of conscience.
The Dubois is a non-partisan Or
panization and will not be connected
in any manner with that of any other
candidate but will simply be local
testimonial of confidence in a worthy
citizen.
Remember the date, and also that
you are most cordially invittd to at
tend.

FOOT BALL PASSED UP
Local High School Will However,
Make All Corners Step Some
in Basket Ball..

There is gloom in some parts OF the
High School so thick that an X-ray
would fall back from its surface
crumpled and bleeding. And all be-
cause it has been decided not to place
a foot ball team in the field this seq
son. A meeting of candidates Tor the
team was held this week and looking
over the performances Of the past two
years it was discovered that the
string of victories by; the basket ball
team are nicely balanced by an equal
ly impressive succession OF mastery
defeats in foot ball.. Foot ball spirit
has not been Of the best in recent
years, men of experience in the game
are scarce, and the fall sport has all
ways. been a losing proposition from
the treasurer's standpoint. In view OF
these facts the boys decided, after
discussing the question pro and con,
to throw out foot ball altogether for
the season and spend the time in de-
veloping a star aggregation IN basket
ball. The elimination system is to be
used. Four or five teams will be kept
IN action all the time and the five best
men sifted out according to the sur
vival-of- -fittest plan. Some pretty
fights for position are expected. All
of last years players are in school but
they will have to show that they are
better than the new men or step back
in favor Of fresh talent. It Is hoped
that the combination will produce .
feet Of dreadnaughts that viii make
the rest Of the Sixth District hunt the
harbor when they appear in the offing.

BAD Coin In CIRCULATION
Phony Dollars at Brainerd and Bust
ness Men are Warned to Look
Out for Them.

The business men and public OF
Sank Centre are warned by the
authorities to keep a close watch Of
the money they accept within the next
few days, as there is set of counter
feiters with an abundance Of lead and
aluminium dollars working through
out the state. 4
The counterfeiters according to
press reports are believed to have OPP
Grated their plant in the city of Du-
luth and after the manufacture of sew
eral hundred counterfeit dollars set
out to put them into circulation. The
Duluth and Superior papers gave &C
counts of the men being there passing
out lead dollars and several other
range towns made similar reports.
The last city to report regarding the
counterfeiters is Brainerd and it is
believed that the men have Sank Cen
tire on their route and therefore the
warning is given.

It was the general opinion, however, that the yes sels would remain in the Vlclnlty or TampicO pending further developments at the mediation conference and also wait the arrival of the Antilla if that vessel still is to proceed with her car go
 Some department officials tonight, discussing the situation affecting the Antilla, argued that, despite the fact that she flies the Cuban flag, her American owners still were emanable to American customs and shipping laws, and that there was every reason to believe that the company would be prepared to give respectful considera- tion to llnts from the state department that it would prefer it not to land am munition from the shores of the United States at Tampico.
 At the state department it was pointed out that the records thus far would show that the administration had been acting with exact neutrality between the Mexican federals and con 1 stitutiOnalists, and had done nothing ] to aid the constitutionalists in replen- | ishing their war material. !

MEXICAN BOATS TURN BACK

 and Abandon Trip
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1srArcul

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl
 WASHINGTON, June S.-Admiral Badger cabled the navy department late tonight the Mexican federal gun boats Bravo and ZaragoZa had left for Puerto Mexico at 4 o'clock this after noon. An order from Foreign Minister Ruiz at Mexico City, transmitted from Vera Cruz to Tampico by wireless in- struments of the American warships, gave the Mexican commanders their first news of the suspension of the proposed blockade at Tampico and di- rected them to return to Puerto Mex ico.
 Badger reported that he directed Ad miral Mayo to offer the commodore of the little Huerta squadron facilities for communicating with the capital. The offer was promptly accepted The departure of the gunboats further re- iieved the tension here and was ac- cepted as meaning the suspension of the blockade to be permanent. It is l assumed in view of the detefmnati ton of the United States to prevent any interference with the steamer Antilla. | Huerta decided to avoid an act that seemed certain to cause an overt act and to disrupt mediation.

The poor contestant stands little show of setting forth the merits of his candi- dacy without the expenditure of an un- warranted sum of money and vet in what other way are the voters to be informed of the merits of the different individuals?
