CRAWFORD WILL RUN
In Address al Huron Friday Evening He
Announced He Was a Candidate
for Governor.
Declared He Was Not the Least AatasO-
niStiC to the Republican Leaders
Of the State.
Revival Meetings at The Baptist Church

est Manifested.
CRAWFORD A CANDIDATE.
COe |. Crawford in Huron Address
says He is in the Field for the
Nomination Of Governor.

Friday evening Coe /. Crawford de-
livered his promised address at Huron
to a large audience at the opera
house, in which he announced that
he would become a candidate for the
nomination of governor on the repub-
lIcan ticket. From a telephone COM
munication with Arthur 6. Keene,
editor Of the Huron Journal, a por-
ton Of Mr.. CraWford's address was
given. Mr.. Crawford asserted that
he did not have the SLIGHTEST enmity
with the republican leaders of the
state and that it Was his desire to
work in perfect harmony with them
before and after the convention. If
he should be unsuccessful in attain
ing the nomination for governor he
would be found working just as hard
for the successful candidate as if he
had received the nomination himself.
Mr.. Cra"fOr declared in unmistaka-
BILE terms that If any man in the
state had any thought that he was
opposing any man or set of men by
reason Of his candidacy then he
should disabuse his mind of that
snpposition at once. He believed in
giving the rank and file of the party
of the state the right to make their
own selections for delegates at. the
primary caucuses and thence to the
county and state conventions, where
he would rest his case with the peo-
pie of the state.
Speaking Of the work of the party
leaders Of the state MI. Crawford said
that they had accomplished much
and that he would be the last man to
detract in the least from what thev
had brought about in South Dakota.
No party, he declared, could exist
without some such organization and
it was not his desire to stand in a
defiant attitude.
Mr.. Crawford stated that his can
dldacy was not connected in any way
with the capital campaign between
Mitchell and Pierre and that he
would hold aloof from any possible
entanglements, a position that is en-
tirely in accord with Mitchell's CAM
paign.
Mr.. Crawford stated that he had
rendered his resignation as attorney
for the North Western railroad,
which would take effect the latter
part Of March. 1904.

his wife, elderly German people, con-
cluded that they would deed their
farm, IA half section of we'll improved
Aurora county land, to their son,
Louis Sievert, who was about to mar
ny the third sister of two OF his
brothers wives. The consideration
that the son was to put up was the
mainte. lance Of the father and moth
er during the remainder of their lives
in a certain specified way.
The old gentleman also passed to
his son by bill Of sale considerable
personal property, together with the
farm, and after the marriage of the
young man The new wife refused to
receive the old people into their form
er home, Whereupon the young man
agreed with the father and mother
that he would build a house for them
to live in. This seemed to quiet
matters for a time, but only for a
time. Before the new house was
completed the old people refused to
occupy it, and demanded paw for the
farm and stock from the son. Where
upon an agreement was reached by
which the son gave the parents his
notes in the amount Of $500, secured
by a mortgage on the farm. After
the notes were accepted by the old
gentleman and the mortgage had
been recorded, it occurred to the old
gentleman that he had not been prop
erly paid for his farm, after having
once given it to his son. So he sued
his son for the pcssession..of his farm,
and after a suit lasting about two
years in the circuit court, the cid
gentleman obtains--the court deed to
his land, together with a Judgment
Of $500 for the stock left on the farm
by the old gentleman.

H0MESTEADS FRAUDULENT,
Investigation to be Made MAY Prove
That Many Filings of Land
Are Illegal.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 3.-The federal
grand jury again took up the ques-
tion of the illegal fencing of public
lands by cattlemen in Western Ne
braska. One important element en-
tering into the land investigation is
that of fraudulent demonstrating It
is claimed by officers who have been
investigating that d large percentage
of the homesteads filed in the cat
tie country are fraudulent. Consid-
cradle evidence is before the grand
jury to this effect. The consequence
is liable to be a number of indict-
ments for perjury, not only against
the fraudulent homesteaders but
gainst those who enabled them to
qualify.

BAPTIST REVIVAL MEETINGS
Three Services Held Sunday and
Good Audiences Listened to
Addresses by Rev. Hupp,

Sunday three services were held at
the Baptist church for the revival
meetings that have been conducted
thIre the past week, and in which a
deep interest has been manifested.
Sunday Rev. Mr.. Hupp preached on
the subject Of "The Living Hope"
contrasting the man without hope
and without God in the world with
the man whose hope is in God. Hope.
he said, lead the Pilgrim Fathers to
seek a new country, where they might
enjoy religious freedom; hope led
the people of Mitchell to these west
ern prairies. hoping to better their
condition; hope inspired them to
suffer hardships and p%rivations, hop
ing some day to possess a home Of
their own. All men have hope. The
gambler, in the hopes of winning.
stakes his last dollar on the losing
card and goes broke. Hope IF a crop
leads men to SOW the seed. Hope. of
gam ENCOURAGES the individual to
speculate. Hope is the last thing
on which the parent or husband leans
at the death bed scene. Hope of
meeting our dear ones in the future
world helps u.s., inspires US to watch,
wait and pray. Paul says if in this
world only we have hope we are men
most miserable. My dear hearers
what hope have you?
In the afternoon an object sermon
on The Holy Spirit was given to an
appreciative audience.
In the evening Rev. Hupp preached
a very interesting sermon on "The
Life of Prodigality," in which he
told the story OF the Prodigal Son,
whose steps he traced as he left his
fathers home and explored the fa1
country, speaking of his fast life and
his money while it lasted. His dis
sipated life lead to poverty: he came
to want; he hired out to a citizen OF
the far country to feed swine; he was
hungry enough to eat the bean pod
found in the carob tree, and in this
state Of need be came to himself
The far country. represents the sin
and shows how far men can 90 into a
life of shame and yet be saved. The
thoughtless man drifts into the fal
country, the thoughtful man returns
o God. Are you in the far country
if so. why? The Father is looking fol-
you-come home.

PRISON SHIP JERSEY.

for the patriots. But Of all these terri
BILE prison ships the "old Jersey"-the
HELL as she was called-was the
most notorious She was originally
sixty-four gun ship. but had become
unfit for actual war service.
In 1IS2, when Alexander Coffin was
sent prisoner on board the old Jer-
Icy. he found about LOO prisoners
there, many Of whom during the sever
ity Of the winter were without cloth
ing to keep them warm. To escape
freezing it was even necessary to walk
the decks brlskly or to stay below.
Only by using great effort could they
keep from freezing, and many of the
prisoners, wasted by sickness, had not
the strength for the effort. They es
capped smallpox .and~yellow fever only
to fall victims to the cold.
In his memoirs Mr.. Coffin says the
prisoners were fed on putrid beef and
pork and worm eaten bread which had
been condemned on the English war
ships. 1t was so full Of vermin that
they had to beat it against the hull be
fore they could eat it. On the upper
gun deck hogs were kept in pens for
the use of the officers. When the hogs
were fed bran, the prisoners would
steal it from the trough.
1t is estimated that 1000 patriots of
the Revolution persisted in the Jersey
alone. After the Revolution she was
abandoned and finally sank. 1t is not
likely that she will be raised.

One of the most valuable con-
siderations that has turned the
attention of country towns to
the great value to their people of

has come through the almost

lnterarban Electric Railroads In the Middle
West.

t1mid assault on the immediate
suburbs of large cities, it was
always considered doubtful if it
would ever successfully bring
people of small towns to become
regular travellers if it ventured
on interurban work. No such
fears now haunt the minds of
those who are promoting trolley
car enterprises. From every part
of the United States is coming a
steady demand for interurban
electric service. Municipalities
SO small as to be able to find
their way onto the maps only
by sufferance are demanding con-
nection with larger centers, and
their citizens are coming to
the front with such pledges of
support that they will not have
to wait long before they are
satisfied.
Among the smaller towns and
cities of the United States, people
are beginning to realize more
and more that isolation means
neither superiority nor comfort.
There is a constantly growing
desire to join hands with other
localities, to be enabled at all
times to come into actual ply
sical contact with the people of
other centers of population, and
to establish not only interurban
communication by means of tel
ephone service, but through a
system of travel that shall be
pleasant, easy of access and in
expensive.
This sentiment is increasing
every day. To satisfy it the
electric trolley has begun its
march away from the great
cities, and its advent into new
neighborhoodsi is being welcomed
with every demonstration OF
delight. 1t is invading the noun
tains, the lakes, the prairies
establishing rapid transit be-
tween villages, towns and cities,
bringing the people of different
counties in daily and hourly
touch with one another, and ere
ating tor itself a wonderful
sphere of usefulness.
1t has no fear of competition,
even when it saucily whizzes
along past towns already well
provided with steam transpor-
tation, for it invariably gets its
share of the business, and more
remarkable still opens up an
entirely new traffic of its own
that never could have existed
without its coming.
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Mich
igan and Ohio are pushing the
building of these electric roads
in a manner almost beyond belief
of those to whose notice this
subject is brought for the first
time. In Illinois alone from fifty
to sixty million dollars is now
being spent in construction and
maintenance of interurban roads
and half as much again is being
gathered for new construction
already planned. The people OF
every locality in the State seem
to have awakened within the
past three years to the great
value of service of this char
acter, and every month towns
are being placed within an hours
distance of one another that for
merlv were as far apart as II
they had been separated by hun
dreds of miles.
