A VERY TAME MEETING

S. @. smith Told Being Cheated Out of
Bis seat, aud Talked About the Fee
system.
The First Ward Republican Club was
addressed last night at the club room on
Main street, between Third and Fourth
streets, By s. q. Smith, candidate for
House of Delegates, and ex-POstmaster
w. J. w. Cowden. Mr.. James Riddle,
president OF the club, introduced as the
first speaker Mr.. s. G.. Smith. That
gentleman commenced his speech
by )teRing that be was the
man who two years ago was defrauded
out Of a seat 10 the Legislature bY the

Commissioners and Democratic Legis.
,lature. He said
If am no calrmitV bowler. I don't
believe that talk will either build up or
tear down an Industry" and then con-
menced scoring the Democratic party
for what he termed their infamous
legislation which has closed so many OF
the industrial concerns OF the country,
He claimed that President Cleveland
and the present Democratic Congress,
by their eXtravagence, ETC., we're mainly
responsible for the last issue o.! govern
Sent bonds. That the Democratic
legislation, years ago, bad debased silver
bHreducluF the fnsnesS Of the silver
dollar from 400 grains to 419 grains.
He said the Democrats were bowling
about the Homestead and other strikes

misrule when they were the

tion. That under President HarriSon's
administration wOrkmen could strike
for higher wages, while under President
Cleveland they were striking 10 keep
from having their wages further re-
duced. That II HarrisOn'S adminiStra-
tion had continued the country would
Still be prosperous instead OF being on
the verge Of bankruptcy, ETC., etc.
1t seems that the fee system of this
State has incurred Mr.. Smiths enmity
some way, possibly because be does not
share In 10, and be ranted on that line
Gt considerable length, attempting
to support his statement by Republican
statistics and the acts OF the State Of
West Virginia. De talked of high taxes
aud low taxes, high tariff and low tariff,
house rents, leases and MORTGAGES and
many things which had no political
bearing whatever.
During his harangue Mr.. Smith said
that speakers and politicians could not
influence voters this fall as they had
done before, but that the hali-starved
and hali-clad wives and children would
be, the leYer 10 make him cast his vote
the right direction. And
yet, 10 spite Of what be had said, he
kept on hsranguing the audience and
bowling calamity.
Ex-Postmaster w. J. w. COWden was
next introduced, and spoke in much the
same vein as Mr.. Smith for about If
Teen minutes. By actual count there
we're fifty persons present, including the
speakers and the REGISTER man. 1t
was very noticeable that as the speak
ers were introduced they were greet
ed with very little applause, and
when they sat down there was
less. The lack OF enthusiasm
was remarked upon BY several persons
IN the vicinity, - said it was the

FREE HOME TREATMENT.
Catarrh Cures by Thousands by DR.,
Hartman.

The symptoms of chronic catarrh
vary according to the stage and exact
location of the disease. The first stage
of catarrh of the nose, sneezing, pain
in the eyes and forehead, weak, and
sometimes watery eyes, occasionally
loss of memory. In the last stage the
discharge ceases, and dry offensive
scabs form in the nose; polypi growths
sometimes form in one or both nostrils
and the pain in the head is much less.
Unless something is done to prevent,
the catarrh will followthe mucus men,
brane into the lungs, where it will be
followed by cough, night sweats, rapid
loss of flesh, and other dread symptoms
of consumption.
To all such people DIR. Hartman's
treatment comes as a great boon. 1t
dress to DIR. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio,
and complete directions for first
months treatment will be sent free.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh specialists, but it is in the
reach of every person in this land. A
medicine which is the principal part of
DIR. Hartman's treatment, known as
Pe-ru-na, can be bought at any drug
store, and is a remedy without equal
for catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds,
bronchitis, consumption, and all eli
matte diseases of winter. Each bottle
is accompanied with complete direc-
tions for use.
Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company, Columbus, Ohio,

Annual Meeting of South Dakota Educs
tional Annexation.

The StateiTeachers' association will
be held at Huron December 26, q and
%, 1894. It does not restrict itself to
teachers alone, but invites to it's meet,
ings and into its membership all citi-
zens of South Dakota who are inter-
ested in education.
This is not a meeting simply for high
school teachers and college professors,
though there is an interesting program
for each of..those departments, but it
will be of special interest to teachers
| of rural and village schools. A very
interesting and profitable program has
been prepared for the common school
department., and counties are going to
| vie with each other as to which will
send the largest delegation of teachers.
The citizens of Huron extend a cordial
invitation to the members of the asso-
citation and to teachers throughout the
state. Entertainment can be had
among the best families of the city for
81 or less per day. For those who pre-
fer the freedom of hotel life the follow
ing are the rates: Depot hotel, s1.5O;
Dakota house, s1.O0; Windsor house,
s1.OO. Each county superintendent is
earnestly requested to inform the
corresponding secretary as Dol as pos
sible, as to the number from his or her
county who will he expected to attend.

visiting teachers at the trains, assign
ing them to places where they will be
made to feel at home.
The railroad rates will be one and
one-fifth fare for the round trip. In
order to secure these rates, purchasers
must pay one full fare from the start
ing station, and obtain certificate of
the agent of whom the ticket was
bought. If over more than one road, u
certificate must be secured from each
agent of whom a ticket is bought. The
certificate being signed by the secre-
tary at Huron, the holder will be en-
titled to a return ticket. for one-fifth
fare. Now don't buy round trip tickets
but buy on the certificate plan. These
reduced rates are warranted to all who
thus buy. 1t is the cheaper and the
better way. 1t is expected that not
only all the outgoing, but all the in
coming county superintendent will be
present.
Teachers of South Dakota, let us
show to the people of the state that we
are alive to the responsibilities of our
profession by making this the largest
and most profitable meeting that has
yet been held in the state. The pro-
gram will appear in full in the Decem-
Der number of the Educator.

o. w. SHALL wish you newspaper
men would call the attention of the
county authorities to the matter of the
safety Of the road between Hot Springs
and Fall River falls. There are three
or four places where the wagon road is
in such close proximity to the railroad,
that it is unsafe to drive along them.

PEELED to build high board fences be-
tween the road and their track and the
danger would be averted. It is some
thing the people demand and the COM
missioners should see to it.

bachelor by the name of Cover who
was recently received from near Aber-

condition and should hovo hoon cont IN

for admission are now SO. strict that
we are getting in a rather feeble class
