WILLIAM HENDERSON MISSING
Went to His Work Yesterday But
Did Not Return.

Went to His Work Yesterday But
Did Not Return.
William Henderson, sixteen years old,
is missing. His home is at the northwest
corner OF Pierce and Lincoln streets and he
was employed ut the store of Lansburgh
& Bro.
He went TO work Monday morning, left
at p. M. and has not been seen since.
The theory is that he became tired of
routine life and has struck out for the
country OF the far West. He has been
a reader of light fiction and it is this,
it is thought, which influenced him to
disappear.
The detective office believes that William
has changed his scene because he has been
reading light novels and because he has
frequently expressed a wish TO go West.
Mrs. Henderson reported the absence Of
her son to Sergeant Perry at police head
quarters at O'Clock last night.
She stated that when seen last william
wore a gray tweed sack coat, dark trousers
and derby hat with q narrow rim.

for .Die walkure," though the change was
reluctantly made by Mr.. namrosch. Since
'Lohengrin'' has been announced there has

1t is impossible to keep track of all
the remarkable incidents OF this in
teresting campaign in anything less
than large dailynewspaper. There
are things happening every day that
are only approached in interest by
reading our history of the exciting
war times. This interest, intense
and dramatic, reaches into every
hamlet, and the average man is lifted
in mind to u contemplation OF
grander and greater achievements
than the petty differences which too
often move localities in a political
campaign. True, the little narrow
minded man, whose mind and soul
are moved by prejudice, and who
thinks a lie uttered on his side is a
noble truth, is still in evidence. But
the campaign, with its great issues
sweeps by him, and leaves him Won
dering why people don't hearken to
his tale OF woe about what mean
man Bill Brown is or what q miser-
able whelp Sam jackson was, etc.
No, this is a great, an earnest, a
patriotic, an American campaign,
and the people are seeking, not for
the little, insignificant likes or dis
likes of this man or that man, but
for the truth-what will be right,
and what will be of the greatest
benefit for this country.

\ Remarkable Letter.

In answer to the solicitation of u
number OF friends Archbishop Ire
land, one of the highest officials OF
the Catholic church in America, has
written a letter for the public upon
the present political situation in the
United States. He says the Chicago
platform is dangerous to the very
existence of this nation, and gives
the strongest reasons and logic why
he will support Mr., Mckinley, sound
money, and the patriotic republican
platform. The interesting cam
paign is drawing out expressions
from people in all walks of life, and
no man can successfully dispute the
statement, that the great majority
of the most intelligent citizens of
this nation, in churches, colleges;
schools and everywhere are opposed
to Mr.. Bryan and his platform.
Archbishop Ireland's letter is an in
telligent, able document, and will
cause hundreds of men to vote for
the country's best interests.

Republican Candidates

The candidates upon the repub-
lican ticket are worthy the support
of all men. From VIM Mckinley
down through the state and county
tickets, the voters of Hand, county
can be assured that they can vote
for men who are well qualified to fill
the duties of the various offices.
There never was a time since the
settlement of the country when the
voters took more interest in the
great issues at stake. In this life we
learn by experience, and as we have
tried both democracy and populism
to some extent, we can Judge the. fu-
ture by the past. The greatest bene-
fits to the masses have been secured
under republican administration,
both national and local. The peo-
pie cannot be wheedled nor preju-
diced; they now understand the sit
uation, and the Press takes great
pleasure in assuring it's readers that
the intelligent majority will record a
victory for the republican party on
November 3rd. in the United States,
in South Dakota, in Hand county,
and in Miller township. This is now
assured, and would be the. result if
the vote were taken today, but by
earnest, enthusiastic work that every
republican can do in the next two
weeks, the majorities cdn be in
creased.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1896-10-15

The greatest political demonstra-
ton of the campaign occurred FRI
day at Chicago, when over 100000
men marched the streets of that
great city and nearly 100000
people viewed the parade. This was
a grand sound money demonstra-
tion, and the noise of the cheering
thousands was conducted over the
country by long distance telephones.
Major Mckinley sat in his library
at home and heard the shouts and
band music oyer the telephone. 1t
was also heard in New York and
other cities.

Bryan is for Free Trade, and

diSprOVe either statement.
Candidate Bryan.

The last and greatest effort OF
democracy has been made to cap
ture this state. viz: the tour of Mr.
Bryan from Sioux Falls to Aberdeen
While the demonstrations We're very
creditable, yet it is SO indellibty
written that South Dakota is for
Mckinley, that the democrats
admit it by their actions, ii not in so
many words. Mr.. Bryan spoke at
Sioux Fal's,-a moderate speech OF
generaIties, devoid OF all argument,
facts or logic why this country
should alone adopt free silver. At
Huron he made a 23 minute stop,
and talked Just II minutes. OF
course there could be no instruction
in few brief remarks, and quite u
large crowd was dissapointed-mere
lv satisfying curiosity to see the
democratic candidate for president.
A large delegation of democrats and
republicans went from Miller The
republicans came home pleased, and
the democrats acted Just like folks
do when they are disappointed.
But here is n good account Of the
meeting taken from the Huron
Huronite: "Of the 1900 here nearly
one half were Mckinley men; Nc
kinley buttons and badges were
seen every where; so numerous were
they that it was difficult to distin-
guish whether it was a Bryan or Nc
kinley demonstration. AS indicat-
ing the number OF Mckinley men
here, it is only necessary to say that
fr ON the arrival OF the first train in
the morning, until the last wagon
came in at night, republican head
quarters were beseiged for badges
and buttons. The committee had
1000 badges printed but these were
gone before noon, and 1000 more
were procured. nearly all OF which
were given. out. Probably 100 were
given to ladies and children-the re-
mainder were seen on the coats OF
Mckinley men. The speech was a
dis3ap pointment and created no en-
thusiasm."
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1896-10-15

One of the unusual sights OF this
great campaign occurred at the
home OF Major Mckinley last Fri
day. Nearly one thousand COnfed-
crate veterans from Virginia Joined
with a large delegation of Union
veterans to do honor to the repub-
lican standard bearer. That is one
more step towards no north, no
south, no east, no west, but one
united country. And when, on
November Bird, more than one south
ern state gives her electoral vote to
Mckinley the Union forever" will
resound throughout this broad
land.

For crowds, for enthusiasm, for
patriotism, for facts and reason.
this campaign of 1896 on the part
OF the republican party will go down
in history as the greatest of any
party that ever existed. The people
OF America were meyer before so
aroused as they are right now, and
their honesty, patriotism and intel
Iigence cause them to manifest in
every way possible how they will
vote on Nov. 81. The republican
victory will be overwhelming.
