Howard Democrat: II. M. Penn of
Madison was in Howard Tuesday. He
drove up with his old E. M. F. car,
one he has driven nearly 10000
miles and the car that has dipped its
nose in the Gulf of Mexico. Last
year Mr.. Penn and family made the
trip from Madison to Galveston, Tex,
where they remained all winter, re-
turning home this summer. The trip
of over 5000 miles was made with
out any serious mishap and the old
car is good yet for many more such
jaunts.
DR.. r. S. Westaby calls the atten-
ton of The Daily Leader to the fact
that confusion has arisen on account
of a new item contained in last even
ing's issue to the effect that DR.. West
ably had located at Clark. The latter
is DR.. j. r. Westaby, brother of DR..
II. S. Westaby, who spent a portion
of the summer in Madison. Needless
TO say DR.. r. S. Westaby will continue
a citizen of Madison, and yesterday
moved into his own home in North
Washington avenue.
The primary election law which
prohibits voters who participated in
the primaries signing the petition of
an Independent candidate, virtually
bars out Independent candidates. A.
l.. Rankin, who contemplated enter
ing the field as an independent can
didate for treasurer of Lake county,
finds it difficult to secure signers to
his petition and has decided not to
be a candidate. Voters generally
voted at the primary election and by
this action became ineligible to sign
the petitions of Independent candi-
dates.
Howard Democrat: We had the
pleasure of attending the Lake
ty fair at Madison last week, and
must say that it was the best county
fair we ever attended, and we have
been to lots of EN- in the different
western states. The exhibits were
fine, the races as good as at the state
fair, the pike immense and the free
acts splendid. Howard and Miner
county people turned out in large
numbers to each day of the fair and
all are enthusiastic in their praise of
the Lake county fair.
day was a gala day for the German
Lutheran church, when it celebrated
its annual mission festival. The
weather was ideal and so the Luth-
Grams came from near and far. In the
morning and afternoon service the
church was filled with attentive wor-
shippers. Chester and Leroy were
well represented. In the morning
Rev. J.. H~ildebrandt of Hartford
preached, in the afternoon Rev. G..
Bohnhoff of Pipestone filled the pull
pit. Rev. p. Schornack of Chester.
who also attended these services with
his bride, addressed the audience at
the evening service. The collection
of the day for missions amounted to
s320.08.
Otto Kerstein, aged 80 years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Kerstein, died
at the family home in North Blanche
avenue at A o'clock this morning of
tuberculosis. Deceased was unmar-
ried, and is survived by parents and
several brothers and sisters. He be-
came i'll Of the disease in the early
summer and his decline has been
rapid, taking to his bed two or three
weeks ago. He was conscious to the
end, bidding his parents and other
relatives at his bedside goodbye, and
expressing a willingness to enter into
the beyond. Deceased was well
known in the city, having been en-
gagged in the business of painting and
house decorating in which he was a
proficient workman. The funeral will
be held from the German Baptist
church Sunday afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
