There are two things that the Al
lance did at jamestown for which il
as body ought to be commended
The first one is, the endorsement Of
Governor Miller and the second
when it was decided to keep out of
politics SO far as organizing an inde-
pendent party is concerned. The
Alliance was not organized for poll
teal purposes but for the advance
ment of the farming interests. II
endorsing Governor Miller the ALI
ance administers stinging blow t.
the lottery organs that have beer
predicting that our governor would &c
"sat on" by the Alliance. The Al
lance adopted a good platform ant
had very interesting convention.

Thesdemocrats of South Dakota

| =, :
Thedemocrats of South Dakota
have held their convention and NOM
mated full state ticket with Gen.
Maris Taylor for governor at the
head. The ticket is strong one
throughout, and if our republican
brethren in South Dakota want to
keep their state in the republican
fold they will have to form a solid
phalanx when they cast their ballots
next fall. The democrats have
nominated a ticket that will be hard
to down.

of an experience he had some 80 years ago
with a charming japanese girl with whom
he had become quite smitten. He says:

the most timid love to action and inside

plexioned fairy waist-encircled and head

seemed unlikely to do it unasked, why, |

out. She asked me what for That's what

Bound Brook, n. J.-The grave qLes-
ton has arisen in the Chimney Rock and
Greenbrook Sunday Schools Of this place
whether, after all, they ought to take the
800 netted by a song and dance ballet show
given for their benef, and under their aus
pices at the town hall on Wednesday night.
Il appears that Superintendent McNabb, OF
the Greenbrook Sunday School, engaged
Professor McGehay Of New York, to fur
nish the features Of the entertainment;
that the latter gentleman engaged two lady
bell-ringers as one Of the features from the
metropolis, and that the naughty agent in
New York sent him two vaudeville ballet
dancers in half-skirts instead lof which he
knew nothing until be rang the bell for that
part Of the programme, and the skirt dan
GERS came out.
What followed in that large Sunday
School audience is described as follows:
II was an awful moment. But Miss jose
phinc Carroll and Miss Norma West were
not in the least affected by the cold wave
they bad caused to sweep over the innocent
pleasure of the evening. They smiled sweet

we must, f" and st the same time kicked with
the happiness Of young colts in the direction
Of the border lights. They had only reach
ed the third kick when a large lady with
somewhat sheepish-looking husband rose
and sailed down the aisle and out. at the
fifth kick two more women. with three littlo
girls in tow, followed her example, and then
all over the hall the indignant and horri6ed
members Of the congregations Of Green
brook and Chimney Rock rose and silently
withdrew. subsequently somebody turned
out the lights and spoiled the remainder Of
the entertainment for the few young men
who had not left.
