Republican committees in the contested
congressional districts in the states, who
1Rnt to hire Dakota orators to dispense burn
ire eloquence and plaintive walls over the
alleged bad treatment of Dakota by a Demo-
cratic congress, should send applications TO
Euii. J. A. Owen, president OF the Dakota
St;.:e league, at De Smet, OAK. 1t Is claimed

The four members of the Huron legislature
from the Bon Homme district met last week
and discussed the Campbell scheme to assume
the functions of a state regardless OF con-
cress. Their conclusion was that such a
course would be revolutionary and would De

In attempting a straight party organization
in Ransom county, the Republicans are some
what embarrassed by the fact that the COM
mittees are largely filled by Democrats. They

church at Bon Homme next Sunday will be
made of special interest from the fact that

young Indians sent from Dakota to schools
