WILL co IT ALONE
BLACK HILLS WILL HAVE ITS OWN
EXHIBIT AT ST.
LOUIS
THINKS IT HAS BEEN SIGHTED
Residents Say They Were Not Moth
fed Of the Recent State
Meeting Held at
Huron
Special to The Grobe

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Feb. 21.-Oficers
CT the South Dakota Business Mems as
Soclauon, which recently held a meeting
at Huron for the purpose of arranging
Tor state exhibit at the ST. Louis ex-
position, are unable TO understand why
the people of the Black Hills are dissat-
lsted with the action taken.
Dispatches from Black Hills points are
to the effect that that region is serious
ly contemplating cutting loose from the
eastern part of the state and having an
exhibit of its own. The chief ground of
complaint to judge by the tone of the
dispatches, is that they were not notified
that meeting would be held at Huron,
and consequently were not represented
at the meeting.
In answer TO this complaint it can be
stated that the people of the Black Hills
had precisely the same notice as those
living in the eastern part of the state.
The South Dakota Business Mems asso-
citation does not assess its members and
therefore never has a cent in its treas
ury, each member paying his own ex-
penses in attending meetings, etc. In
view of this notices of meetings are al
ways given through the newspapers, as
was done in this case.
No notices were mailed to any of the
members, either in the eastern or western
portions Of the state-there being no
and postage-notices of the approaching
meeting at Huron having been sent only
to the newspapers. These notices were
first published two weeks before the
meeting at Huron on the 9Th of the pres
ent month, giving ample time for each
and every part of the state to be rep
resented.
1t appears to be the belief of many
residents of that part Of the state that
If they secure the pledges of enough
members of the legislature a special ses-
sion would be called for the express pur-
pose of appropriatng money for a state
exhibit at ST. Louis Such is not the
case. Under no circumstances will Gov.
Herreid call special session to act upon
this matter as he is OF the opinion that
such action, the calling of special ses-
sion, would be a fragrant violation of the
state constitution which permits the call
ing of special legislative sessions only
on extraordinary occasions

JONES GOES TO HoUGHToN.
Star Goal Keeper of St. Paul Team
Leaves for Michigan Town.

Star Goal Keeper of ST. Paul Team
Leaves for Michigan Town.
j. H Jones, the star goal keeper for
the st. Paul hockey team, and the most
brilliant player in that position this city
has ever seen, left Wednesday afternoon
for Houghton, Mich, to play with the
team of all stars representing that place.
He has been offered a lucrative position,
and in addition to playing hockey, will be
a valuable acquisition to the Houghton
lacrosse team. His leaving will greatly
cripple the local team, nas, with Arm
strong, he was the mainstay of the home
field. He was given short notice, and
not many of his friends knew of his leav-
ing, but as it was, some thirty or more
hockey and lacrosse enthusiasts were at
the depot to wish him bon voyage and
good luck.
His departure practically settles the re-
suit of the Twin Hockey leagues series,
and the Virginias now have the cup as
good as won. Had it not been for Jones'
absence last night the St. Pauls would
have had fair chance to win; as it was,
they were showed under.

Decision to Go 1t Alone Is Reached
Only After Stubborn ana

Fight.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. a.-The Populists
Of Kansas, in session here today, decided
late tonight that there would be no af-
tiliation between the Pcpulist and Demo-
cratic forces in Kansas this year. Al
strong faction, led by Congressman
Ridgeley, favored absolute surrender to
the Democrats, but there were enough Of
the old-time Populists to defeat this plan.
The meeting was lively throughout Ma
jority and minority reports We're filed by
the committee on resolutions on the sub
ject of fusion. These We're referred back
to the committee and night session or
dered. At the night session exactly the
same reports were submitted, one favor
ing and one opposing utilization with the
Democrats. The fight was stubborn, and
finally resulted in accepting the majority
report. No plans for the future conduct
of the party were made, other than that
the party would run its own affairs with
out the assistance of the Democrats.

ACROSS THE STREET.

Across the street there lives a maid,
A jolly, teasing little jade,
With wanton hair and witching eyes,
And yet, so staid and worldly wise
That, if she deigns to send a glance
Across my way, 1t seems mere chance,
And quick withdraws in swift retreat
Across the street.
Across the street I sit and look,
Forgetful of my pipe and book;
I see her shadow on the pane,
And build me castles in far Spain.
| watch and wait, with patience rare,
Till, lust as / would quite despair,
She looks from out her window seat
Across the street.
Across the street hath come a change;
The window hath a tenant strange.
Who moves me to no rosy dreams;
My brain no more with castles teens
What use have for fancies frail?
The maid. as fits romantic tale.
Hath moved, to make my joy complete,
Across the street.
