What Is the Vote?

II is the best instrument ever de-
vised to measure accurately public
opinion in the shortest possible time.
1t is the necessity of the many, NOT
the privilege of the few; the neces-
sity of the wage-earner as of the
home-keeper.
1t is the peaceable weapon of civili-
zation, where ballots take the place
of bullets. and can be used equally
by the weak and the strong.
II is the guarantee of equality be-
fore the law OF every individual hum
an being who uses it.
1t is the ultimate source of power,
and the foundation on which rests
our entire government. 1t is yours
Use 1t, Vote with the Republican
Party.

First Secure 81, 200 and Then Come

Her Savings.

uer oaNIHSs.
Hampton, IA new graft has
been worked here with great financ-
ial success and a woman is minus
$4,000 in cash as result of putting
faith in strangers.
No trace has been found of the
culprits who relieved Mrs. Catherine
kfukenberg, an elderly widow of
this city, of about $2,5O0 in cash
several weeks ago, nearly the entire
savings of the woman. Officers have
been closely following up several
clews and the matter has been kept
quiet.
Last October fellow, claiming to
be an expert eye doctor, called at the
home of Mrs. Krukenberg and asked
to be allowed to examine her eyes. 1t
is evident that the fellow was ac-
quainted with his ground as the lady
had some little trouble with one of
her eyes and had doctored a little
with one of the local doctors. The
stranger with the French mustache
made every effort to make the wom-
an believe that he was some govern
ment expert, and he finally secured
a cool $1,000 cash from her for a
supposed operation. This was haul
enough for once, but before leaving
her home he discovered that he did
not get all of her wealth.
Shortly afterward he appeared on
the scene again, but this time ac-
|companied by another man, and they
bluffed the poor woman into be-
lieveing that she was in bad condi-
tion, her system was full of poison
and that this matter would have to
be reported to the government. They
led her to believe that with the aid
of an electric belt they had discover
ed the cause of her ailments, and
that this belt would be left with her
to use, but it was necessary for her
to put up $4,000, which was to be
returned to her as soon as they
came back for the belt, which was
later to be used on a Hampton man.
She was stunned at the amount ask
ed and was not ready to put up the
full $4,000, having only $3.50 in
the bank, but one of the men was so
philanthropic that he offered to put
up the balance, as the full $4,000
had to be paid over to the govern
ment as protection for the. return Of
the belt.
They hypnotized her into believ,
ing that they, as representatives OF
the government, had real power, and
persuaded her to go to one OF the
local banks, draw out every cent she
had on deposit there, about $1,550,
and hand it over to them. The want
ed it in cash, too-no chect
tificate of deposit went with them.
The bank representative who cashed
her certificate questioned her about
the matter, but she insisted on hay
i ing the money
Several weeks ago she began to
think differently of the matter and
finally made up her mind that there
was something crooked about the
deal, so she reported the matter to
County Attorney r. l.. Saley and
Sheriff J. w. Schweiger, who have
spent considerable time since work
| ing on her case.

"Never was the political situation
so unsettled three months before 8
great convention, says the Boone
News Republican. "The democrats
are equally up in the air with regard
to their candidate and platform and
with threats of a third party in the
field and the year 1920 bids fair to
go down in history as the most spec
tacular presidential campaign We
have yet had"

From what We know of Mr.. Doaks
We don't believe the people of the
state could elect better man to the
position, as he is eminently qualified
in every way. He is receiving warm
support from many sections of th,,

is peculiarly well fitted for the place

port him to a man. There isA no
questions but what Winneshiek cotn-

FIRST WOMAN'S
CLUB ON RECORD
Pioneer Society Of Female
Endeavor Claimed by
Indiana.
ESTABLISHED IN l847
Minerva Society of New York
Came Into Being Twelve
Years Later.

MADISON. Ind. Dee. 1.-THE
distinction of having the first wO-
mems literary society In the United
states, which for sometime has been
conceded to New Harmony, Ind,
may be transferred to this city as
the result Of the discovery in tn"
files of The Madison Banner OF
1861 of articles concerning a wo-
mems club here.
Mrs. Frederic Krull of Indianapo-
lis. whose grandparents were resi-
dents OF Madison, recently found
among her. inheritances an essay
written by her grandmother, Miss
Georpianna G. Moore. by maiden
name, which was read before the
Ladies' Literary club of Madison in
ls+7. Mrs. Krull came 10 this city
and upon searching through, the
files of the banner found several
articles giving accounts OF the meet
tngs OF this club.
So far only the newspaper ar
ticlcS have been discovered to give
Suthcnticity to the existence of the
club and attempts are being made
to locate the constitution and other
documents in order to give definite
proof OF the claim as the first
women's literary society.
The organization which has bcen
credited with being the first was the
Minerva society. This club was
founded in 1859 at New Harmony by
Mrs. Constance Fauntlcroy Ruucic
granddaughter of Robert owen. the
founder OF the social experiment
colony at Nc~ Harmony. This club
was followed nine years later by the
famous Sorosis of New York city,
the founder of which was Mrs
Jennie G. Croly. known to readers
of that time as Jennie June"
Both of these organizations have
documents supporting thair claims
as.> pioneer literary clubs OF the
country and giving the definite dates
of their formation. Tn. society at
Mad son, according TO the newspa-
per files. was in existence early In
1S47 twelve years before the Miner
"a society but so far nothing has
been found to establish the. date of
their search for tho records OF the
its foundation. Mrs. krull and res.
idents OF Madison are continuing
club.

Shortly after the year OF 1871

With thousands of acres OF Osag'
lands yet TO be. leased and new well

officials predict that the Indians vii
receive between $4,000 and $4,000

later years. The Indians themselves
tho majority anyway, seem to pa!
little heed to their wealth an
