delicious. The whole land is a health
resort. Only within the last few
months has the Sultan permitted any
exporting and now only to limited

The Right Way to Bake Potatoes

Auo AhA6ub 8oJ W 1@AO AN~S
Wash and clean the skins OF the po-
tatoes without breaking. Put them
on the CRATE in a moderately-heated
oven. II the oven is too hot the skins
will at once harden, forming a nom
conducting surface, preventing the
escape Of water, Potatoes baked in
this way are heavy and waxy, indiges-
tible and unpalatable. AS soon as the
potato is soft upon slight pressure OF
the finger, remove it from the oven.
Take it in your hand, which should
be protected with a napkin or towel.
and carefully work the potato as
though you were MASKING it in the
skin, being very careful not to break
the skin. When the potato seems soft
and mealy throughout put 1t back In
the oven, and so continue until all The
potatoes have been subjected to thiI

death was that Of Harry Wolf, Of
Mexico, who died last week Of pneu-
monia. Apparently he was but
slightly i'll on Monday afternoon Of
last week, when he declared that be
would die during the night. He re-
peated this assertion at the supper
table, again to his partner in business,
and when the priest who was called in
early in the evening told Mr.. Wolf
that the next day would be plenty Of
time in which to attend to a certain
matter, Wolf replied, Eyes, father
but / won't be alive tomorrow" and
he died at an early hour the next
morning Of acute pneumonia.

THE SECOND SESSION.

We rejoice that the chief magistrate
of this republic. the highest civil Office
in the gift of any people, fell into good
keeping when Theodore Roosevelt as
sumed the presidency. When the ma
tional convention al Philadelphia
forced him to accept the nomination
for vice president it builded even bet
ter than 1t knew. We cordially and
heartily endorse his able and patriotic
administration. AS a fearless leader
he commands universal respect, and
we heartily comend his efforts. and the
efforts of his subordinates, to sup
press injurious combinations and
trusts by vigorous and impartial adj
ministration of the laws. Should ex-
listing statutes prove to be insufficient,
we favor. and pledge ourselves to the
enactment of such additional legisla-
ton, both state and national, as may
be necessary.
We favor the settlement by arbitra-
ton of disputes between capital and
labor, a policy SO vigorously repre-
scented by the national civic federation,
and regret the unwillingness of en-
ployers to submit to arbitration the
differences which have led to the exist
ing strike in the coal regions of Penn
~sylvania. The protection of labor In its
rights Is n of the highest duties OF
legislators and a duty that the repub-
lican party has never failed and never
will fail, to perform to the extent of it's
ability.

Washington, ID. c., June 4.
Chairman Republican State Conven-
ton, Sioux Falls, s. D.-Please extend
to the convention my most cordial te-
lici~tations, anticipating its wise and
harmonious action today. | congratu-
late the republicans on the prospective
and decisive victory In the state in No
vember with the unparalleled record
made and the things actually accom-
plished by the administration OF Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, the party merits
the fullest confidence and largest sup
port.
The Platform.
The committee on resolutions report
ed the following which We're unani-
mously adopted:
History has been made rapidly since
we, the republicans of South Dakota,
last assembled in state convention.
Our beloved president and trusted
leader. William Mckinley, upon whom
we looked as a type OF all that was N
BILE in public and private life. has been
taken from us, although his memory
lives to inspire those iE authority to
noble deeds and lofty craftsmanship.
His death at the hands of an assassin
was the elimination and expiring eff
fort of a school whose teachings find
willing listeners only during times OF
depression and discomfort. Universal
prosperity has driven into hiding the
opponents OF all such doctrines. That
President Mckinley should have fallen
a victim to conditions from which he
was SO largely instrumental In deliver
ing his country serves TO emphasize
his achievements and intensity his
Martyrdom.
