Emmetsburg Democrat
Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa
13 Apr 1910

John NOLAN returned from the southwest the first of last week. He had been
in a number of Texas and Oklahoma towns during the past three months. He
does not like that country. He saw all the Emmetsburgers at Waureka,
Oklahoma, and reports them doing well. He says that at Port Arthur, Texas, a
short time ago a large whale was captured. It is 92 feet long. It weighs 100
tons. It came in too close when the tide was high and when the water went
out the mammoth whale was captured. It is 92 feet long. It weighs 100 tons.
It came in too close when the tide was high and when the water went out the
mammoth whale was left stranded on the shore. A traction engine was used in
dragging it away from the water. Excursions were run for several hundred
miles to Port Arthur to allow people to get a glimpse of the captive. J.K.
MARTIN who is in that vicinity, went down to take a look at it. We can
assure our readers taht Mr. MARTIN will come home with a fish story that
will make our local fish boasters feel ashamed of themselves.

W.J. TYSON is suffering from a lame back. He injured it a few days ago while
shipping A. Scott ORMSBY's household goods to California.

Mrs. T.J. MILLER and Mrs. F.E. HAND were Whittemore visitors Monday. Their
sister, Mrs. Phil CULLEN underwent a difficult operation.

Capt. J.G. HUTCHINSON who spoke in Emmetsburg, when he ran against Horace
BOIES for governor of Iowa, died a few days ago at Ottumwa.

Miss Mary CROWLEY came over from Ruthven Saturday and filled Mr. DONLON's
place in the Emmetsburg National bank. He was absent at Des Moines.

Mrs. O.P. DOYLE has placed an order with W.J. TYSON for a fine $750 family
monument. It will not be erected until fall. It wil be one of the best in
Emmetsburg.

The daughters of Mr. and Mrs. P. JOYNT, who had been here visiting them,
returned to LaGrange, Illinois, Thursday. They are Sisters in an academy at
that place.

The Ladies' Aid society of the M.E. church will serve a tea at the home of
Mrs. HICKS Wednesday afternoon., April 18. At supper time a 15c meal will be
served. All are invited to either or both.

A few days ago Michael DWYER had a couple of his fingers badly crushed
beneath a care in the tile factory. He was fortunate in not having his hand
taken off. He will be forced to give up work for some time.

Mr. and Mrs. John CAVANAUGH of Fairmont, North Dakota, are visiting Mr. and
Mrs. J.J. DENEEN. They were recently married and are on their wedding trip.
Mr. CAVANAUGH is a brother of Mesdames DENEEN and QUINN.

N.H. FALB will leave for West Union the last of the week to accept a
position in the Argo office. He has been in our employ since October and we
have found him a very faithful and willing worker. We wish him success in
the Argo office.

Dr. J.W. KINE of Fort Dodge will lecture in our city April 29, on
tuberculosis. Dr. KINE is state lecturer to physicians, but he has kindly
consented to give his illustrated lecture free under the auspices of the
Friday club. All our people should turn out and hear him.

M.C. LARSEN of Graettinger was an Emmetsburg visitor Monday. His
announcement for county supervisor appears elsewhere in this issue. He is an
old resident of our county and a most exemplary citizen in every way. He
would, if elected, make a capable and conscientious supervisor.
