Brought Samples of Corn Jasperites Raised Near Mitehell.

“Uncle" George Robinson, who returned last Saturday from a trip to Mitchell,, S. D-, did not forget a promise he made to The Republican when he left that he would tell us something of our old friends who are now living near Mitchell. He spent most of bis time while there with his son Charley, blit got around quite extensively and saw most of the former Jasperites. Charley is doing nicely, and this year has a big acreage of corn which they estimated would produce from 35 tb 40 bushels on an average. J. A Knowlton has 90 acres that he thinks will average 50 bushels Ao the acre. Bill Kenton also has one field of 90 acres that he expects to go an average of 50 bushels. Mr. Robinson brought a half a dozen good ears of corn to show us what they raise out there and they are on exhibition in The Republican window. Sam Parker is doing well and is pleased with M% removal to that country. Sherman Lewises also well pleased as are Bruce Hardy, Fritz and Charley Zard, Mason Kenton, George Wood and the others. Ray Kenton has an exceptionally fine crop. A number of the farmers raised flax and this has proven a good crop, the price there being $2 a bushel. Isaac Parker, who went out there last spring, had the misfortune to lose about all his crop in a hail storm. Taken all in all “our folks” are all getting along nicqly in and about Mitchell and are generally mighty well pleased with conditions there. ,77 '

JURY FOUND AUGSPURGER TO BE PERFECTLY SANE.

in Favor of*D Trial of Well Known Man. The jury composed of William W.l«h, BBBjaH. W. Klplingex, F. G. Kresler and Wilson Schaefer, which heard the evidence offered to support the change of insanity filed against William Augspurger by Omar Morlan and his son Ernest, returned a verdict In favor of the defendaiit after being out only about three minutes. The verdict was that Mr. Augspurger was not insane. The prosecuting witness wanted to .have him declared insane and dangerous and the Ato have him deprived of his librety as a protection to themselves. The case grew out of , the allegation by the Morlans that on last Saturday morning Augspurger fired two shots at them with a revolver. The case occupied all of Tuesday ‘afternoon, Wednesday all day, and it vhur about 9 o’clock Wednesday night when a verdict was returned by the jury. The case was argued after supper. The Morlans were represented by Attorney G. A Williams, Roy Blue and W. H. Parkinson. It is f understood that the Morlans have taken the initial steps toward having Augspurger again arrested, the charge being “shooting with intent to ibll.” The public seamed inclined to believe that the verdict of the jury woul i relieve Mr. Augspurger of the charge and the verdict was ’not much of a surprise. i '/■''v

Boosters for Monticello’s Horse Show Paid Us a Visit.

Rensselaer having inaugurated the “booster” parade for its horse show, all the other towns'in this end of the state are falling in line, and just before noon today, Thursday, some forty automobiles, most of tbem'gaily decorated, arrived in town from Monticello to advertise their horse show, which will be held Friday and Saturday, Oct, 27th and 28th. They brought a big bunch of people, all live wires, and they made things lively for a half hour and then skirmished around for something to eat, and then left for Remington, V^ c °ti, Brookston, Chalmers and other places. The Monticello band played several tunes and a “rube” band, comically made up, ripped off a few choice selections, much to the amusement of spectators. Among the visitors were Editor J. B. Vanßusklrk, of the Herald, Postmaster Billy Bunnell, Tony Anhier, president of the horse show; Mr. Ryan, the secretary; V. D. Cline, Sam Thompson, County Clerk Preston, Chas- A Holladay, Sheriff Price, Captain Ed Davis, Ed Gardner, and a.lot of others of equal prominence. They were all feeing like school boys on a vacation and their happy attitude is calculated te leave the impression that there is a good time in sight for vlsistors at the horse show. These booster parades are good things in promoting acquaintanceship and good feeling between the adjacent towns and we would like to have g good live bunch like that from Monticello come to see us every day.

Mrs. Rowen Fined $1 for Calling Neighbor a Hypocrite.

A sequel to the trouble between Mrs. E. Aldrich and Mrs. Arlle Rowen was the arrest of the latter on a charge of provoking the assault for which the former was fined last week. Mrs. Rowen, on the advice of het attorney, plead guilty and was fined |1 and costs. Thia should close the little Incident that almost started a feud across the railroad track, and If the parties Involved will now quit talking about it, even if it is hard to do, the trouble should terminate for all time.

The packing season of the DeMotte factory was brought to a close Wednesday and the greatest amount of kraut ever packed in* one season was the result of the late summer work. In all there were 1,475 tons of kraut, or 38 tanks containing from 4,800 to 5,500 gallons packed during tlie season and from 38 to 45 hands were employed in the factory during the past several weeks. The cabbage acreage this year was' 151, the largest of any year so far. The crop was not as good as former years. The price paid for cabbage was $4.50 per ton and an acre should produce ten tons or more, thus making a fine profit to the grower. During the packing season the labor payroll was’about $360 per week, while there was paid out for cabbage to the ttuck farmers between $1,500 and sl/ 600 a week. Both cabbagtf growers and factory employees were very well pleased with the season, while the merchants of DeMotte are sharing in the prosperity. 4.7 ; .7 7.7 It will require from eight to ten men for the next five or six weeks at. the factory to handle the kraut which is to be shipped out.

Mrs. Mary E. Lowe Again to Be Operated On In Hospital.

Mrs. Mary E. Lowe, who on several occasion? has required to submit to the surgeon’s knife, will bd taken to Chicago Friday of this week to undergo a rather extensive operation. Last week a minor operation tor what appeared to be a diseased condition of the exterior of the tibia bonq of the left leg was performed. The surgeon found after beginning the operation that instead of the disease ba-j ing confined to’ the exterior of thefl bone, the greater trouble was to the inside and it has been decided to have the operation performed at the hospital. 'lt is not an operation that will result seriously but it will probably confine the patient at the hospital for some time and probably be slow in healing.
