Webster County Rebuked.

The Iowa Guardsman, Browns
vile, Texas: Voters of Webster
county, Iowa, struck deathly blow
to patriotism Tuesday, when they
turned down man for sheriff, Ma
jor S. B. Philpot, of the Second Iowa
Infantry. The major was defeated
in a three-cornered race by ia
votes.
To go back a. few months Major
Philpot running at the primaries on
the republican ticket defeated man
named Martin. Said Martin has held
down constable position for years,
so many years that our informant
lis unable to remember the exact
time.
When the guard was called out
Major Philpot put on his uniform
land started a campaign for recruits
in Webster county, also in the vicin-
|ity of towns where his battalion was
located. A good position with a ce-
ment manufacturing plant was CIV
en- up by the major.
But Martin, the defeated man,
who had nothing but a constable
|ship to give up, at once communed
with himself and Immediately began
to lay plans for running on an indie
Sc hn coz 90
as the major, but it never occurred
to him that he should enlist No.
He is not that sort of man. He
would rather stay home, while the
lady OF the house sewed from morn
ing until night.
Among other things given up by
Major Philpot was his Nhomelife and
four little kiddies. They needed
him, much worse than did the Mar
tin family need Mr.. Martin, as his
|children are grown up and helping
their mother exc out a living, to
pay expenses not covered by the con-
stables monthly stipend.
Shortly after coming to the bor-
der, the major received word that
he had new baby girl. Another
sacrifice. The major has never seen
this baby, and his fathers heart
yearns for the babe, but he must
stay here and BE with his troops.
When the troops reached Browns
vile the Major heard of Martin S
decision to run Independently. He
wrote friends that he would let the
people decide whether or not he had
done right by coming to the border
with the troops.
They decided-and against him
and now the Iowa soldiers on the
border are wondering if that is the
price of Patriotism, Sacrifice and
Hardship.

WEBSTER CITY BOY
WINS MANY HOhORs
Samuel Sterling Of This City Said to
be Best Tackle at the Illinois
Wesleyan.

A late issue of the Bloomington
Bulletin contains lengthy article
and excellent photograph of Samuel
Sterling, son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. G.
Sterling, who is student at Wes-
|leyan College for his second year.
The article is as follows:
For real consistent performance,
you have to hand the palm to Sam
|uef Gilmore Sterling, Illinois Wes-
leyan's two hundred and fifteen
pound forward. In his six years OF
competition, the big Iowan has miss
led just one single game and this
took place this fall when college
algebra professor held the Webster
City product back because he funk
ed an examination. Sam went
through four years of high school at
Webster City, without missing sin
gle game and in his two years OF
competition at Wesleyan, he has
been on deck in every contest except
the Charleston Normal game this
fall. His loss in this game was like
ly the chief factor in Wesleyans de-
feat.
Sterling is without question the
best tackle that has worn Wesley
an uniform in the last seven or eight
years. By the time he reaches his
senior year he may be called the
greatest lineman turned out in his
tory. Weighing we'll over the two
hundred mark, he is feared by ev-
cry team that has met Wesleyan in
the last years and few gains have
been made through his position. In
high school he played on the same
team with Mckee, the crack Univer-
sity of Iowa tackle, and the Haw-
eyes almost kidnapped Sam this fall
in an attempt to get him to jump to
their college. The call of his frat
brothers back at Illinois Wesleyan
proved too strong however, and the
OpeLlUS VI SOllC5C saw tllC DA6 toS-
kle back on the job on the north
side.
Sambo, as he is more Familiarity
known, is considered the one beat
bet on the Wesleyan team this fall,
for alh-conference honors. ,U1on
his showing in the two big games
of the year with Milliken and State
Normal will depend largely whether
he is selected for the honorary Illi-
nois eleven. Sterling also played
basketball in high school, holding
down the back guard post on the
Webster City quintet. He was not
a candidate for the varsity five last
year but intends to try for Capt.
Millard's crew this winter and
should make a promising piece of
machinery for Coach Muhl If he
takes to the indoor game as he does
to the gridiron. The hero Of this
sketch is sophomore in the univer-
sity, a member of the Sig ma Chi
fraternity and is prominent in all
school activities.
