Mrs. Satterly' Will
Conduct Sheep Ranch
Wife of Missing Rancher Writes
That No Word Has Been Receiv.
ed From r. A. Satterly

Mrs. R. A Satterly, wife of the
Iowa sheep rancher, who has been
missing since leaving his Sank Cen
tre farm for Pennington, Iowa, sew
eral weeks, is now in full charge
of he ranch business which has been
built up by her husband.
In letter to the Herald this week
Mrs. Satterly says that she now
fears that her husband has met with
foul play; that he was the victim of
an attack after leaving Sank Centre.
This she says, she believed to have
been due to the fact that. he was
known to have carried considerable
money with him.
However, the family of the miss
ing man have not given up hopes of
his discovery, and every means pos
sibly is being used to locate him.
MRS. Satterly said they had COM
pleted all plans to move to Sank Cen
tire the week that he: husband DIS
appeared, and that after matters
have lrighted themselves, the family
will all come to Sank Centre to make
their home.
The lady appeals to al Of Der hus-
bands acquaintance here to aid her
in locating Mr.. Satterly.

PRETTY BABY PLEAsEs

Theatre goers who missed seeing
the musical comedy "Pretty Baby"
at the Caughern Theatre last Friday
evening, passed up the best theatre
cal bet of the season.
The company, headed by DON Lam
ming, comedian, was positively the
best troupe that has ever visited
Sank Centre, and Their performance
was clean, classy and snappey.
There was not moment when
there was not something pleasing 60
ing on, and Lanning, has without
doubt, few superiors on the Acerican
stage today.
The entire cast we're exceptional
ly well drilled, and the members,
even in their "bits" showed consider
able talent. The music was good
and the singing on a par with that
produced on the best stages in the
cities.

Minnesota Republicans Haze
Important Gathering Saturday

The much talked of Republican
elimination convention will convene
in st. Paul Saturday, and party
leaders generally are much concern
ed regarding the outcome. Will it be
a success; will it solve the present
difficulty confronting the Republican
party or will it further muddle up the
political waters, they ask? They are
all in the air, and hoping for the best.
Last Saturday primaries for the Sc
lection of delegates to the several
county conventions were held, but it
had to be said that they were not a
bowling success. Little interest was
shown by the voters. At the state
convention scheduled for Saturday,
May 9Th, at the st. Paul auditorium,
three state offices have the call, gov
ernor, lieutenant governor and secre-
tary of state, and naturally here is
where the interest centers. The gov
ernorship, however, is the big card as
it is on the convention choice depends
the fate of several seeking endorse
ment for secretary of state and lieut.
enant governor. For governor, five
well known Minnesota Republicans,
Julius Schmahl, Redwood Falls; Fred
A. Hadley, Winnebago; ]. A. o.
Preuss, Minneapolis; Mike ]. Dowl-
ing of Olivia; w. J. Schilling, North
field and possibly S. j. Iverson, of st.
Paul, are ready to ask fcr convention
recognition, while in the case OF
lieutenant governor and secretary of
state, an even dozen of candidates are
listed. The most prominent for the
lieutenant governocship are L. w.
Collins, of Minneapolis; Oscar Arne-
son of st. Paul and J. M. Hackney, of
St. Paul. For secretary Of state, s.
Y. Gordon of Browns Valley; Fred
Sherman, st. Paul and Mike Holm of
Rosseau, are the chief convention con-
tenders. All are figuring on trades
and just now are doing some tall
hustling for position. In this neck
of the woods, state capitol wise ones
have figured out the convention slate
with State Auditor Preuss as the con-
vention choice for governor, L. w.
Collins for lieutenant governor and
Mike Holm for secretary Of state, but
it is entirely guess work and is on the
assumption that the convention has
been framed by certain interests. I'm
fortunately, thsre has been too much
of this convention control talk and It
is hurting.

who have been hustling for place the
past six weeks there is in the offing
dark horse contingent whom the
king makers have not overlooked.
They represent the great compro-
mise. To what extent many Repub-
licans, seriously concerned regarding
possible blow-ups at the coming con-
vention, regard the necessity of a
compromise candidate was made
manifest on Friday when Winnebago
business men at mass meeting de-
manded that their fellow townsman,
and publisher of the Winebago En-
terprise, lend his name for Republi-
-lno HueW 'sesod1nd uoasuuImIs ueo
side towns were represented and hum
dreds of southern Minnesota Republi-
cans of note, aided in the plea. There
was parade, grand ball and every
body went home pledged to the Win
nebago mans cause. Mr.. Hadley
made affirmative answer and can
from now on be counted as one of the
formidable candidates for convention
choice for governor.
Fred A. Hadley is 80 years of age
and is prominent in Minnesota Re-
publican circles. He is a favorite
with the country press of the state
and is strong politically in the south
ern section section. One thing sure,
the others fear his entrance, but they
will not be sore if he wins. Fred is a
likeable chap.
St. Peter, the home of governors,
gave John A. johnson of revered
memory, to Minnesota, and it is not
averse to again filling the executive
chair with one of these distinguished
citizens. st. Peters Offering for the
1920 campaign IS Oliver J. Duane,
publisher of the ST.. Peter Herald and
a foreign war service man of note.
Major Duane did the hat tossing act
Thursday via the Democratic ticket
and while his politics hardly fits in
with the dominant political rule in
Minnesota friends say his nomin-
alton and election is the only solution
of the present political muddle con-
fronting both the leading political
parties. They regard him as a COM
er and winner. He has large fol-
owing among the country press,
Major Duane stands for an equitable
tonnage tax, appointive preference
to service men and women, budget
system, Workmen's Compensation,
Babcock roads, proper pay for teach
ers and greater efficiency in the SOL
diers bonus boards. His platform is
a broad and substantial one.

range at Fairy Lake Sunday morn
ing. The men used their own anu
milton, firing about ten rounds each
and considering the fact that this was
their first pistol firing, made very
credtable record. AS the season adj
vances, the best pistol shots in the
company will organize a team and
will probably compete at the brigade
encampment with other pistol teams
in the Sixth regiment and brigade.

ANGLERS BUSY NOW

With the starting of the fishing
season which opened in Minnesota
last Saturday will apparently be a
busy one this year. Fishermen large
and small took to the water ways
like ducks last Saturday and Sunday,
and in many instances, quit the sport
only when their days labor had re-
suited in the landing of the full quota
of fish. Pickeral spearing was in
vague at every turn of the various
streams in the vicinity and the sport
was good. Crappies were in favor
and some fine hauls of these fish
were made.

Building operations at the Home

to be erected on the banks Of Sank

in charge of the construction.
the construction.
the construction of these cottages, is
the well constructed and efficient
sewer system adopted. The plan Is
one devised by Mr.. Wicks, and pass
ed upon by the state board of health
Contrary to reports recently cir
culated, this sewerage system does
not lead into Sank Lake. Mr.. Wicks
has built system of seeping watts
cess-pools and connection drains and
stand pipes which through natural
chemical process, will prevent the
flow from the sewer system from en-
tering the lake. This plan was orig.
inal with Mr.. Wicks, and was highly
praised by the members of the board
of health.
Construction work has already
been started upon two of the six pro-
posed cottages. The work is being
done almost exclusively by the Home
School forces, the girls taking upon
themselves the majority of the exca-
walton, plumbing and concrete
work. The work under the direction
of the foreman and did practically all
of the ditch work themselves.

Stearns County's sheriff, Bernard
Schooner, is the first of the county s
official staff to set the pace against
the high cost of living. The sheriff
star and all, is now prancing before
the unbeleving public in brand new
layout of overalls. They are the reg

of SteaSns County officialdom will
