he went into an adjoining apartment to
answer a note that had been handed in
during the progress of the dinner. You
will find paper and envelopes in the little
room at the head Of the stairs, said his
host, as Mr. Whistler withdrew. Pretty
soon the guests were startled at hearing
succession of bumps, ending in a, thud
which indicated that somebody hal
struck bottom. Sargent rushed to the

ONE MORE CHANCE
SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO REGAIN
THEIR STANDING
MUST NOMINATE A TICKET
Another Surrender to the POpuIists
Will Tend to Bring the
Party Into Dis
repute.
Special to The Globe.


PIERRE. S. D., Feb. 25.-The call of
Chairman Pusey of the Democratic state
central committee, for a meeting Of the
committee at Sioux Falls on the 18th of
next month for the purpose of fixing the
time and place for state convention,
opens an opportunity for a thorough re-
organization of the Democratic party in
South Dakota. The party in the state has
been in the slough of despond'' for sew
eral years on account of the fusion with
populism, which has been the controlling
power. This has forced the oid-tlme lead
ers who were imbued with thorough
Democracy out of the party temporarily,
and they have either voted with the Re-
publicans as a protest against populiStic
falIacies or have refrained from voting
at all.
Under present conditions, with the ball
lot reform law of the last legislative ses-
sion, the time has come when Democracy
must either come to the front as a pure
Democracy or give way to populsm COM
pletely. Democracy must either put
ticket of its own in the field or close
up business in the state Under that law
no name can appear more than once on
the ballot, and there can be no such
combinations as in the past, when two
identical tickets were on the ballot, one
headed Democratic and the other Popu-
list.
With that situation confronting them
the right kind of an invitation to the old
time leaders to come to the front and
assist in reorganization of the party in
the state will meet with hearty accord
and the party again aligned on old-time
principles with tariff reform as its base
Instead of populism. The present -discon-
tent among Republicans of the West at
the Servile surrender of their party to
the tariff interests of the East, and the
editorials of the Republican papers them
selves as campaign material there is no
reason why Democracy should not build
up an organization in the state which
would make itself felt
While it would be an optimistic predic-
tion to attempt to say that Democracy
could carry the state this year, it would
not be so to say that with an organtZa-
ton which the old-time leaders could
support that it would carry enough votes
to place it in a position to carry weight
and influence in state affairs and give
it a standing of which none of its fol-
lowers might be ashamed
The time is ripe for such a move, and
a little earnest effort could carry it to
success and Democracy once more be a
live factor in South Dakota.

WIDOW AIDS CAPTIVE
MRS. HARRY HIBBS TESTTFTES
THAT JEFF MAY DID NOT KILL
HER HUSBAND
DECLARES DEATH AN ACCIDENT
North Dakota Court Nevertheless
Holds for Trial the Man Accused
of Throwing Farmers Body
Into a Well.
Special to The Globe.

BISMARCK, N D., Feb. 25.-Jef May
was tonight held without bail for trial
on charge of having murdered Harry
Eibbs, a young ranchman, forty miles
northeast of this city in January. Hibbs
body was found in an eighty-foot well
on his farm.
The preliminary examination lasted
SIX days. The prosecution charges May
with having killed Hibbs with some
blunt instrument and then having thrown
the body into a we'll to give the crime
the appearance of an accident.
May offered no defense before the COM
mitting magistrate.
The motive for the crime is alleged to
have been Mays infatuation for Hibbs'
young wife. The widow was on the Wit
ness stand three days during the pre-
Iminary hearing.
Both Hi5bs and May were well to do
and well known. The evidence in the
case is wholly circumstantiaI, as the only
persons on the ranch the morning of
Hibbs' death were Hibbs, his wife aud
May.
Both May and Mrs. Hibbs claim that
the death was accidental.
