Robert HAire.
A few years ago when the
Farmers Alliance and Knights Of
Labor were important factors in
South Dakota affairs there was
no man connected with these or
CARNATIONS who stood higher in
their councils than did Rotert
w. Haire, or as he was called
Father Haire, and he was ac-
knowledged to be by friends and
opponents alike, one of the brainy
men of the new movement On
last Saturday evening this man
Haire gave a lecture in the court
house which should have been
listened to by every populist in
the county. The speaker is not
republican-he is a socialist,
and his lecture was on socialism,
buthe incidentally showed up the
insincerity aud hypocrisy of
Organism and told how the pop
ulist party of the state had
been sold out to the Bryan de
mocracy for mess of pottage-
and the pottage was not even de-
livered. Our populist friends,
who are shouting for the destruc-
ton Of the trusts would have
been told by Father Haire that
they might just as we'll save their
I,n fo, II tn
stay-they were in the natural
order and development of com
mercial growth aud you might
just as well try to force the new
ly hatched chicken back into the
shell, or bring back the era of
stage coaches as to check the
commercial growth of the nation
by destroying the trusts. These
are the assertions Of one of the
founders of populism in South
Dakota-a populist who refused
to give his reason and conscience
over into the keeping Of the de
mocracy. The speaker made
scathing reference to the late
speeches of Marion Butlerand his
failure To present facts-he re-
ferred TO him us the ''Catallne
who betrayed the populist party
to its death, and spoke of him as
the "fakir" from North Carolina.
The speaker credited the repub
lican party with being open and
honest in its opposition to social
ism, but stated that the position
of the democracy was that Of the
hypocrite No republican could
have drawn more perfect pic
ture Of populized democracy than
did Robert Haire, one of the orig
inal populists of South Dakota.
The nomination of August HOY
land, Of Blooming Valley town
ship, for oneof the commissioners
Of Grant county is a lit recogni
tion for the republicans of the
reservation portion Of the county
and the choice could not have
been better. We have been per
sonally acquainted with Mr., How
land for more than ten years and
are fully cognizant Of his sterling
worth and ability to fill any posi-
ton OF trust and responsibility.
In choosing Mr.. Hovland to help
administer the affairs Of Grant
county the people have made no
mistake, as they will discover af-
ter he has served his term; his
election is sure, and every resi-
dent Of his township, whatever
his politics, should cast a vote
for him. We predict Il very fiat
tering vote for our friend August.

THE clCkE EFT.
A List Of the Men whom the
Republicans will Eject as
County Officers.

County OfHccrs.
The republicans of the county
have a ticket which they can
vote for to a man While their
political opponents will make a
desperate effort to cut in:o the
different nominees on the ticket,
the fact stands out that every
man on it is worthy of and en-
titled to the support of the re
publicans of the county and citi-
zens generally.
STATE SENATOR, PIERCE CAHILL
The candidate of the republi-
can party of Grant county for
state senator, is one of the young
men of the county who has lived
in and been identified with the in
terests of the county from his
youth up. He is a farmer with
large farming interests in the vi
cinity of Albee, where he is we'll
known and universally esteemed
by the community as a man of
sturdy character and sound busi-
ness judgment. His election as
state senator will be to Grant
county the assurance of a clear
headed, honest and unswervable
representative in the upper
house of the Legislature. Pierce
Cahill has the fullest confidence
of those who know him best, and
his election, which is virtually
assured, will rebound to the best
interests of Grant county.
LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE
Mr.. A. G.. Somers, one of the
republican candidates for the
legislature, has served the people
of Grant county for two terms iu
the legislature previously. in the
first term having been placed on
a nun Der of the more important
mittees, and at the opening
of the 1899 legislature was chosen
speaker of the house. This re
sponsible and trying position he
filled with eminent satisfaction to
the members of the body over
which he presided. Hon f. H.
Warren. mem Der of the last
legislature, and the editor of the
Spearfish Mail, in a late issue of
his paper speaks of Mr.. Somers
as follows
The Mail notes with pleasure
the fact that Hon. A. G.. Somers of
Grant county is again renominat-
ed by the republicans for the lower
house cf the South Dakota state
legislature. Mr.. Somers has al
ready served during two previous
sessions, and was chosen as speak
er of the house at the last session.
He is a staunch republican, man
of strict integrity, and made
record as speaker which any man
might envy. The writer hereofhad
an excellent opportunity to study
the nature, ability and character
of Mr.. Somers, and will cheerful
ly testify that no man in either
branch of the legislature was held
in higher esteem or placed in more
trying positions during the session
It is to be hoped that all opposi
ton to his reelection will fade
away like due beneath a rising
sun. and that he will return to
Pierre next January to lend his
splendid ability and experience to
the younger members Of the next
legislature.

he was elected town clerk on the

raises the question as TO the manner
in which the cuckoo carries her egg
when about to deposit it in the nest OF

1t is commonly supposed that the egg
is carried in the beak and in Professor
Newtons edition of Yarrel several in.
stances are quoted where observer:

fortunate enough to observe cuckoo
in the act of depositing its egg in

ion that the throat of the bird serve
as the receptacle for the egg. H'
states that % the cuckoo was con
stantly opening her mouth during
preliminary encounter with the robins
% that the egg was certainly not lall
in the ordinary way in the nest; Is.
that the egg itself was slightly mois
and sticky; (4) that the throat Of tn,
