Judge Bartlett Trip, the most
prominent Democrat of South Da-
kota and the head of the Democratic
party in this State will support the
Republican ticket this campaign.

is controlled absolutely by Pepulists

the fruits of the war and maintaining

Senator Kyle has defined his position
politically, declaring that President
Mckinley should be sustained unit war
matters are all settled; that the Popu-
list party has fallen into the hands of
revolufionists and that he will vote TO
purge the state of this disgrace. CT
Governor Lee he says:
"These misleaders have named as their
standard bearer in this campaign a maj
who stands for the worst there is in
politics. Prior to his nomination, Andy
Lee was an INSCRIPTIONS lobbyist before
the Legislature and worse, and since his
nomination and election he has lone
everything in his Eower to attach dis
credit To the state. His nominees, with
few exceptions, have been CHOSEN from
an undesirable class and have used their
positions for unjust and in some instances
dishonest ends. The governor himself,
during the session Of the Legislature of
1897, lobbied VIGOROUSLY for certain bills
and freely offered places and emolu-
ments to the Legislators in return for
their support. The party has been
nothing to him. but the control OF it has
been everything, and he has dragged it
in the mire of his own selfishness and
greed during every day he has occupied
the gubernatorial chair. AS a citizen of
the state, proud of its people and jealous
for its advancement, / cannot vote for
such a man, no matter by what party
name he may be called. AS an alleged
Populist he is as unfit TO govern this
state as he would be under1 amy other

The School Book Issue.

When the legislature passed the
Uniform Text Book law the people
were given to understand it was a
permanent fixture and that the con-
slant changing of tex books in the
schools, necessitating new purchases,
was at an end. Every had of a
household having children of school
age is aware OF the expense attend
ing new school books for his family,
consequently the adoption of a
uniform system was hailed as an
omen of reiief from what was prov
ing a serious expense. The popu-
list party today stands pledged to
a scheme to establish a state printing
establishment at the expense of the
taxpayers, to re-compile text books
and change every book in use today.
1t is a party measur and the popu-
list candidates for the Legislature
fion Day county would have to vote
for it if elected. This wild scheme
for more Offices and plumber is dis
guised under an attack on the book
trust, but it is simply a plan to pro-
vide "pie" for populist workers and
printers at the expense of the tax
payers. The preesnt system is work
ing well-if you doubt it ask your
Co. Supt, ask your teacher. If you
are in doubt as to cost write the
Secretary Of State of California, a
state where the state plan has been
adopted to its sorrow.
Gov. Lee in his message to the
Legislature said: Il am of the opin
ion that the state can safely under
take the compilation and publication
Of its W school books without fear
of failure
The plai k in the populist plat
form adopted at Aberdeen reads,
Resolved, that We favor the state
taking proper steps looking to the
publication Of all necessary school
text books"
The Democratic platform is just
as clear, ave favor the publication
by the state at It's " expense of
all text b ,oks for use in its public
schools"
The plan of the popuiists, if they
carry the state, is to expend sever ]
hundred thousand dollars in building
a state printing establishment which
would print school books and would
not only prove a failure in the end
but would result in supplying the
schools with poorer books at greater
cost. California adopted the state
plan and the last report of the Sec'y
of State shows a loss &c the state in
10 years of 500 900 and the books
cost the pupil more today than they
a be purchased for under the con-
tract system. In discussing this
scheme The Argus-Leader says:
You pops, favor publication at stste ex-
pense of text books. Your platform says
SO, as plainly as words a put IT, Now,

A good old fashioned Democrat said
the other day, 81 am a political orphan.
He certainly expressed the situation. He
said he was not a demopop and could
not and would not be one, although they
now claim the name "Democrat," He
said, IL have always been a democrat
and can't do or say much, but | do hope
that the republicans viii lick the demo
pops to a finish" The best thing for a
man in that condition is TO vote the re-
publican ticket from top to bottom.

he can get the terms that we demand.

Reflections OF a Bachelor.

No man who has never known what
it is to go hungry is fit to be married.
No woman will ever admit that she
can't remember the exact date her
husband proposed to her on.
Some women keep their brains about
the way they do their top bureau
draw at the top.
No woman knows what real love is
till her husband has pounded his
thumb while he was putting up her
screen doors.
The first time a girl is kissed by a
man she shuts her eyes. The second
time she keeps them open to see if
he shuts his.
Statistics would no doubt show that
all the patent things made to put on
buttons with, without sewing them,
have been invented by married men.
The only thing that can compare
with an animal robbed of its young is
a woman when a man tells her he for
got to mail a letter she gave him.
In a crowd of men there are proba-
bly, about as many opinions about love
as in a crowd of women there are
about the best way to make Welsh
rarebit-New York Press.

He Saved the GI0uchester.

There is a bit of unWritten history
about that famous fight between the
converted Yacht Gloucester and the
two torpedo boats of Santiago on
Julv Sd. One of the officers tells it in
this way:
''Wainwright put every one at work.
The engineer was placed N charge OF
n gun, so was the paymaster, and to
the gunnery Of the latter was due the
fact that the American navy didn't
suffer a severe loss on that morning.
1.-THE paymaster was in charge OF a
Colt automatic gun and he kept her
rippins away like a veteran. The
Pl11ton was plugging at us and our
officers saw man on the Spaniard in
charge of a rapid fire 1-pounder who
displayed superb courage of the calm,
stoieai sort that marked him as dan
gerous. He was getting our range
rapidly and each shot was coming
nearer to us. The last one struck
within eighty feet and was aimed at
our vitals.
"Some one yelled to the paymaster
to put that man out of business or we
would be cut in two at the next Delch
of the 1-pounder. The Colt did the
work.
Later. when he boarded the Pluton,
we hunted up the 1-pounder. Around
the gun were its crew, dead. five or
six men riddled with the Colts bull
let's. And that man of splendid cour-
age-the stoker-he was lying against
the breech of the gun with his dead
fingers clutching the trigger. The
gun was loaded and we examined its
range. 1t was fixed at an angle which
would have carried that shell straight
into our vitals and put the Gloucester
with the wrecks of the Spaniards.
The man on the Gloucester who did
the famous shooting was Assistant
Paymaster BroWn.-NeW York Wora@

To Relieve Choking Cattle.

A correspondent Of the New England
Homestead has an excellent as we'll as
a humane way for the relief Of choking
cattle, and he thus describes it: when
the animal becomes choked find the
obstruction by feeling along the throat
with one hand, and in nine cases out
of ten it is found in the gullet. With
the thumb and fingers the obstacle can
be forced out the way it went in, and
generally the animal is ready to assist
In the removal A few years ago l had
a heifer that was choked with apples
every few days. and in every instance
I removed them in this way without
difficulty or danger of injuring the ami
NAL. I think anything which an ami
NAL gets in it's throat and cannot get
down in the natural way should not be
punched or pushed down, thereby en-
dangering the life of the animal, and
should be taken out the way it went

Lived 81 Years with a Bullet in His Heart

William B. Smallridge who died
few days ago at Chenille, in Gilmer
county, w. Va, carried a bullet in his
heart for thirty-seven years. He was
a member of G. e. First West Virginia
Infantry in the civil war, and in Sep
TENDER, 1861, while marching through
Gilmer county, was shot by some one
in ambush, the bullet entering Small
ridges chest at the lower point Of the
scapula, on the left side, passing
thence directly through the left lung
into the left ventitricle of the heart.
The force Of the bullet was so broken
that it did not penetrate the inner wall
but the regimental surgeon pronounc-
ed the wound fatal and left Small
ridge to die. He did not die, however,
but was sent back up the Little Kan
awha River in a skiff to his home, in
Chenille, where he recovered and has
since lived. A few weeks ago, while
on his deathbed, he asked DR.. G. O.
Brown to make an examination of the
wound after his death. This DR..
Brown did and found the bullet inl-
bedded in the heart. Surgeons pro-
nounce it the most extraordinary case
on record.-Baltimore Sun.

Feeding Work Horses,

Whenever working team has an I'M
usually hard job it is the habit of some
farmers to feed it extra, thus giving it's
stomach an additional labor and thus
lessening available present strength. It
ought always to be remembered that it
is the food eaten the day before, and
for days and weeks before that, which
is available for present strength. No
animal ought to be expected to work on
an empty stomach. But light feed
before an extra hard job is better than
loading the stomach with more than it
requires.-Home and Garden.

Cost of Eggs.

Experiments in feeding. and in com
putting the value of eggs, show that, If
mo estimate is made for labor, one doz-
en- eggs can be produced at g. cost OF
about 6 cents for food, or about half a
cent an egg. If all Of the food allowed
to hens were converted into eggs the
profit of a dozen eggs would be large,
even when prices are very low, but much
depends ON whether the hens convert
food into eggs, flesh or support Of the
bodies. It is fact demonstrated, how
ever, that when a dozen eggs are mar
keted they carry from the farm but lit
tie of the nutritious elements of the soil
in proportion to their value in market,
and ON that account they are as profit
able as anything that can be produced
ON the farm.-Poultry Keeper.
