Congressman "Sunset" Cox, OF New
York, died at his home last Tuesday
evening. He was one OF the ablest men
in the halls Of congress, man OF m
blenished record. His last conversa-

owe their admission largely to his efforts
and influence.
Hot Springs is the latest Dakota town
to enter the capitol race, she is now out
with circular letters and other advertis-
ing matter setting out the advantages
that the great health resort possesses.
Ii Hot Springs were chosen it might be
possible to get our legislators from the
rheumatic ranks and get them to serve
| fol their board, mileage, and bath tick
cts. Nothing is charged for this
suggestion.

the Alliance [ have secured desk room

tanning to the order should be lett there.
