fund. And on the first Of the pres
ent month (October) there was a
cash balance of $1O79.22 on hand.
Such a record as this has never
been made by any former treasurer
in Pennington county.
Now for a few smaller items.
Since Mr.. Titles term of office
81, 600 of the bonded debt of school
district No, 10, embracing Hill
City, has been paid and on October
l, 1902, the treasurer paid to this
district 1927 in cash. The war
rants of this district have become as
good as cash and are worth their
full face valCe.
Today Rapid City school warrants
command a n per cent premium
"a record to be proud of.
Notwithstanding the unusual
amount of extra labor made neces-
sary on the county treasurer by
the Scavanger tax law, Treasurer
little handled it all with little ad-
ditional office force, handled it
without error and all of it expedi-
tiously. He did not close the scav-
anger sale until July Is, 1902, re-
sulting in the collection of thous-
ands of dollars in taxes which other
wise would not have been paid, and
today thu re is not a single 100 acres
of land subject to sale under this
law that has not been disposed Of.
Many county treasurers throughout
the state closed the sale of this
land in November, 1901, depriving
their counties Of thousands Of dol
lars in taxes which could have been
collected had these officials possess
ed the tact, foresight and ability Of
Pennington county's efficient TT cas-
urer, Charles P. little.
No official has so much to do with
the financial success or failure of
the county as the treasurer. What
Mr.. Title has done is a. matter of
county history. 1t is Of public rec
ord and can be verified TO the let
ter by n and all.
Chas. P. little stands simply on
the record he has made while in
office. Upon that record he asks
his reelection. Does he deserve
reelection? THE UNION believes
he does. 1t believes more-it be-
lieves that the taxpayers of Pen
nington county cannot afford to do
without Mr.. little as treasurer for
the coming two years.
Upon it's own responsibility The
UNION will state that Mr.. Titles
record has never been equalled by a
former treasurer in this county, and
by very few in any other county in
South Dakota. That is the kind
of a treasurer Pennington county
needs. That is the kind it has.
That is the kind it will have for two
years more if Mr.. Title is elected.

why VOG0 LILO IlcASU.
The UNION supports the demo
cratic ticket.in county, state and
nationally? Simply because it
believes that democratic success
will best serve the interests of the
greatest number of people-that is
reason enough.
Ir calling on the people OF Pen
nington county to support the
democratic candidates for county
offices THE UNION does not hesitate
to state it's reasons for doing So.
Here are a few rea1ons:
Because no gang or banking cor
poration had a hand in the naming
of the democratic candidates in this
county with a view to using them
for private gain in Vs. of election.
AS much cannot be said of the can.
didates on the opposition ticket.
They we're for the most part named
by three or four bosses who ran the
republican convention and dictated
its every move. THE UNION does
not like the gang rule theory, for
such n policy cannot serve the peo-
pie to the best advantage in this
county or out of it..
The democratic ticket merits
your support further-and why?
Because the first reduction in the
county debt came through demo-
cratic, or fusion, economy.
Because that debt has gradually
kept melting away under democrat
ic or fusion stewardship in the off,
ces most directly affecting it.
Because no democratic or fusion
official in Pennington county has
ever betrayed his trust, proved IL
competent or left anything but a
clean official record behind him.
Because county expenses under
democratic or fusion rule we're re-
duced almost one-half as compared
with republican rule, and the par
ty stands pledged to still further
economy today.
Because the democratic party put
the warrant-sharl. out OF business in
Pennington county when it had the
opportunity placed the county up
on a spot cash basis, and promises
to return to that policy again If sue
cessful next month.
Because every one Of it's candi-
dates this year are capable men
more than can be said of some of
the candidates on the republican
ticket. "
Because no democratic candidate
has a First National Bank string
attached to him, or bears the brand
of any clique OF self-constiuted
political grafters.
These area few OF the ~reasones
why you should support the demo
cratic county tictket this year if
you want q clean, economical and
business-like county government
during the coming two years.

The worst periods Of financial and
Industrial depression the nation has
ever seen have come under republic
can rule. Remember 1873. The
panic Of 1898 came under the famous
Mckinley high tariff law and
was at its height before the
Wilson low tariff bill became a law.
In the meantime, however, the panic
was made worse by an alleged dem
ocratic president applying republi-
can principles. In fact, he has since
supported the republican ticket.
Then came the immaculate Dingley
and his little bill. BY republican

Mr.. and Mrs. Mornnd's Mid-Winter
Term i'm Dancing Will Begin the
. First Week in Children
Beginners, Saturday, 10 ii. III.
Adults, Tuesday and Friday, = y. III.
Mr.. Morand is the only member with a
diploma in the city of the Association of
Master Dancers. We give to our pupils
the advantages of the latest dances. We
have in the past sixteen consecutive years
of successful teaching in Omaha taught
many of the young society people of the
present day and introduced all of the lat
est dances which are popular here now.
For our Christmas greetings we will in
troduce the Military Dip, which we found
so popular during our visit to Saratoga
and Long Branch last summer and so fas-
~cinating to the elite of Boston and New
York. Do not make the mistake of lay
ing this suggestion aside. Read what the
New York Herald says: The Military
Dip is one of the delights of a modern
bail room" Also stylish London has
taken 1t up. One or two private lessons
Will teach you the dance perfectly.
As in the past, the children's parties
will be at Christmas, st. Valentines Day
and the first week in May. They are
always free to the pupils and parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morand are never absent
left to an assistant. Hence their success
in teaching their pupils to dance perfectly
in one term.
Mrs, Morand supervises a motherly care
over the children and sees that the young
ladies and gentlemen of the adult class are
properly presented.
Glasses are always open to beginners.
Please call for particulars. Phone 1922.

]. ]. DERIGHT AT WORK.

This concern does as large a business in
their line as any other concern outside of
New York City. From a business of about
$4,000 a year in 1895 it has grown until the
concern last year sold about a quarter of a
million dollars.
They carry a large stock OF new and
secondhand safes of different makes and
employ a large force of travelling men, COW
ering the entire middle west. Their prin-
cipal bank safe is what is known as the
Manganese Steel Safe. This safe differs
from other bank safes i'm that it is cast
solid, having no joints, bolts or screws; the
is ground into a perfectly air-tight fit
and it is the only safe manufactured today
which is guaranteed to be absolutely burg
lar-proof. The concern has had a large
sale on them for the past year and have
taken in a large number of other makes of
ulously low prices. They also employ a
force of safe experts and nave calls from
all parts of the country to open and repair
safes.

How He Announced IL.

There was a minister In little Ne
braska town who had two matters
which were very close to his heart He
had prayed long and earnestly that the
mortgage of the church might be paid
of and that he might have son and
heir. Not long ago a boy came to
gladden. his heart and home, and on the
same day the rich man of the village
died, leaving $1,000 with which to pay
off the church debt.
The town was wild with excitement
over the double event, and bets were
freely made as to which subject was
closest to the minister's heart and
which he would refer to first In his ser
mon on the following Sunday. Tit
eventful day arrived, and excitement
ran high. There was an expectan
hush when the minister entered thu
pulpit.
"My friends" he said, you know
what has been close to my heart TO
many years, and you know of the JOY
full happenings of the past week; ant
now, my friends, want you to joii
with me in thanking God for the sue
cor that has been sent u.s."
And then all bets were OF.

A prominent feature in Faraday's
character was his absolute love of sci
ence for his own sake. He freely gave
his discoveries to his world when he
could easily have built up a colossal
fortune upon them. He once told his
friend, Professor Tyndall, that at a
certain period of his career he had def
nitely to ask himself whether he should
make wealth or science the object Of
his life. He could not serve both mas
tiers and was therefore compelled to
choose between them. When preparing
his well known memoir of the great
master. the professor called to mind
this conversation and asked leave to
examine his accounts. and this is the
conclusion the professor arrived at:
Taking the duration of his life into
account, this son of q blacksmith and
apprentice to a bookbinder had to de-
eide between a fortune of f150,000 on
the one side and his unendowed science
on the other. He chose the latter and
died q poor man. But his was the
glory of holding aloft among the ma
lions the scientific name of England
for a period Of forty years.
