UPON THE DEATH
OF ". i, PHELPS
Republican County Executive
.e5 Committoe Adopts Ap- +,
propriste Resoiu-
lutjonS.

The following resolutions were ad-
opted by the Republican county exec
utiye committee on the death of Wal
lace H. Phelps, who was a member Of
the organization. The vacancy caus-
ed by Mr.. Phelps death has not been
filed, the literature of the committee
showing that he Is deceased. The
resolutions were compared by a spe-
cial committee composed OF Chairman
A. w. Agler, w. W. King and J. IL.
Hunt, and. are as follows:
"Thc Republican executive. commit
tee Of Stark county mourns the un-
timely death of Wallace Phelps, val.
ued member. Stricken In the prime of
his strength. his counsel will be miss
ed by the party of his adoption. In
his demise. the county has lost bril-
liant orator, an able leader and a
thoroughly capable man of affairs.
He was positive In his conviction,
and eloquent In maintaining them.
With him to think was to act, and no
consideration of policy controlled
him.
Strong in his friendships; a dis
eliminating judge OF men and of is
Sues, he was a powerful adherent and
counsellor Of reliability. His mind
was broad, judicial. He was prompt
to, discard prejudice and having taken
a position, he was always willing to
accept the consequences of his ,deei-
sicn. Where he believed himself to
be IN the right, he was always ag-
grcssive and fearless. 4
"He early adopted and always
championed the cause of labor, taking
his position with those who toll. and
with them his name was q household
word. ,
Honorable In his business and In
his. personal and party relations he
will be missed by those who come In
daily contact with him. and by those
to whom his Influence went out
through his editorial .utterances. A
strong, honest, capable man; a jealous
partisan; an earnest, faithful friend:
an able party loader is gone. We la
mcnt his loss.
"Honors came to him without sollc-
itation, and he was never deaf to the
call OF his party. In the state cam
paigns of Ohio he filed an acceptable
and honorable place. sacrificing his
personel interests to the call of his
party chiefs. ~.
I'VE commiseratc with those TO
whom his counsel shall never again be
available. and extend to his hereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy.

.HERRElD. AND KITTREDGE
S. Dakota officials Secure a Reduc'
ton in Rates on Grain.

q - S. .s' = g.
PIERRE, S. D.-After a long suit on
the part of the railroad commission,
which brought no definite results to the
people of the state, Governor Herreid and
Senator Kittredge quietly secured the re-
ductions in traffic rates which the COM
mission had attempted to obtain through
it's suit against the railroad companies.
This reduction has been in effect for some
time and has proven a great saving.
These officials have been quietly at work
for some time on another proposition
which will mean thousands to South Da-
kota farmers, especially with the immense
grain crop which has been raised this
year. Their present work has been in the
direction Of securing reduction in grain
rates from the state to the eastern mar
kets, and it is now announced they have
secured the desired rates to go into effect
the first of September.
Hunters who expect to come to South
Dakota this fall are likely to run against
several "snags." In the eastern part Of
the state farmers are forming township
organizations in which they refuse to al
low any shooting within the boundaries of
he township without their consent. In
this movement the township boards are
adopting resolutions to prevent hun ting in
their townships, and the farmers are
| backing them up. The farmers will
prosecute for trespass any hunters who
violate tnelr no SnOOt1ng signs, ana
there are likely to be lively times in many
sections. .~ u.'

OVER 1000 IN CAMP
Largest Force Ever Encamped on
the Wisconsin Military Reserve.

CAMP DOUGLAS, WIS.-The Third reg
iment and Tenth separate battalion are
at work In earnest. The total strength
of the regiment in camp is 7S9, and the
separate battalion 224, making total Of
4 ,033 men, the most assembled on the res
ervation at one time since the Volun-
teer service. The four battalions paraded
last evening in line of masses, which was
% splendid sight. The horse of the regi-
mental adjutant, Marshal Cousins, became
unruly and fell to the ground, the cap
tain freeing himself just in time to
avoid injury.
The First bait alion took up work on the
rifle range Sunday.
Captain c. F. Ludington, Battery A,
Milwaukee, and fifteen men are here for
target practice in preparation for the
competition with Minnesota, and the
booming of the big guns from the 1900
yard range is almost constantly heard.
The contest will begin on Sept: 8, and
last three days. The Wisconsin boys are
more than confident of success again this
year. 1t is stated there will be plenty OF
money here to back Wisconsin.
Dana's Third regiment band OF Mari
nette, having the reputation of being the
best band in the state. is even in better
trim this year than ever before, and is
giving excellent music, both on ceremony
and at the evening concerts.
An interesting bout with gloves was
pulled off in the village last night be-
tween one of the lads in the Ninth bat
tory and one Of the Third regiment boys.
An uppercut on the Jaw in the first half
minute, put the infantry man out of ac-
tion, and the art1lleryman and his COM

Many excursions will be run into camp
this week, as several Of the companies
come from towns lying close to camp.
The Ninth and wenty-first regular bat
teries have commenced a systematic
course of target practice and will keep it
UP until about Sept. I. The officers and
men are much pleased with their camp
ing ground, and will fire on all ranges
up to 4,5O0 yards, the extreme range.

r.. b. Remington, Refused by Miss
Van Allen, Commits Suicide.
Newport, R. l., Aug. 19.-The greatest
sensation in high life that ever took place
at fashionable Newport happened late
yesterday. when Robert B. Remington, of
New York, who expected to marry Miss
May Van Allen, the oldest daughter of
James Van Allen, committed suicide by
shooting at one of NeWport's fashionable
clubs.
Since Mr.. Remington's return to New
port there is every reason to believe that
he has not seen Miss Van Allen. A note
was sent to Mr.. Remington by Miss Van
Allen Sunday night at his boarding house
and afterward he was very respondent.
Yesterday Mr.. Remington wrote note
to Miss Van Allen and she received it, be-
cause after Mr.. Remington had eaten
his lunch and gone to the reading room
reply was received at the boarding
house, but then Mr.. Remington was prob
ably dead
Mr.. Remington is son of the late Ed
ward Remington, whose family several
years ago was very prominent in social
and business circles in Philadelphia. Mr..
James J. Van Allen was seen at Wake
hurst in regard to the shooting and asked
| for a statement. He said that both he
and Miss Van Allen thought it best to
| break Off the engagement, as they re-
garded Remington as unreliable and OF
| unbalanced mind.
Miss Van Allen was informed Of Rem
ington's suicide by her father. Mr.. Van
Allen told her that it was much better for
one to go than three, meaning that event
| ually. if they had been married, Reming-
ton would have not only killed himself
but the others, Miss Van Allen was
greatly overcome. .-..-...-'. 3D..
