Good Health to the
Children.

At this season the children are eating
dainties, and the housekeeper must look
specially to their food.
AS good cake can be made only with
good eggs, SO also cake that is healthful
as we'll as dainty must be raised with a
pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. 1t imparts that peculiar light
ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the
finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.,
and what is more important renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
and old.

has been favorably reported in the house.
The only objection which has been urged
to it comes from the Christian Scientists,
who think they should be expressly ex-
empted from it's provisions, as are the
osteopaths. The physicians In charge OF
the measure do not think the scientists
come within the provisions Of the bill at
all. An attempt will be made to amend
by Mr. Potter of Day county in the par
ticular noted.
There is growing spirit of restraint
between the senate and the house which,
as in some former years, may lead to COM
plications which will interfere with legis-
lation. Each feels that the other is at
tempting to force the hand of the other.
There Is no open rupture, but an under
current of dissatisfaction which at any
time may result In hostilities The insur-
ance bills appear to be at the bottom of
the trouble.

members of the board of agriculture
may hereafter receive compensation, and
the house has provided compensation for
the board Of regents, and provision will
be made for the board of charities and
corrections The agriculturists are to
have only small per diem, but the
others will have salaries. These pro-
visions will add to the budget, but every
one comedies that these boards are earn
ing all they are likely to get. On the

BY Noodles bill, which has passed the
house, it is unlawful to hunt or kill by
any device whatever any buffalo, elk,
deer or mountain sheep, except between
the 18th Of November and the 18th of
December. Koenig's quail bill, passed
at the same time, absolutely protects
these birds until March 1, 1908.
Though, denying all interest in the sub
ject it is pretty we'll understood that
the Sioux Falls mayor and common coun-
Gil are here to brace up the home dele
cation in relation to the bills for the
appointment Of the city assessor by the
mayor and to empower the city treasurer
to collect the city taxes. It is argued
for the latter than the 1 per cent now
paid he couny for his service would pay
both city treasurer and assessor.

It is declared by those whose business

been a strong oil lobby here, but II any
one here is specially charged with oil
interests he is keeping extremely quiet.

Main and First St. Opera Block

The ROCK Island bridge went out
early today and the approaches of
the big Mellan bridge are weakening.
Kansas City, Mo, May 30.-The
flooded condition along the banks of
the Missouri and kaw rivers here
and west is far more serious than on
yesterday, and the predictions of
Colonel Conner Of the local weather
bureau that the disastrous record of
1881 would be exceeded will doubt
less be realized.
Since yesterday afternoon, the Mis-
souri, has risen nearly two feet, the
government gauge here registered 25
feet, which is but one foot below
that of 1881.
The principal damage so far sus
tanned in this locality is on the Kaw
river, at Kansas City Kansas, and at
Armourdale and Argentine, suburbs
of this city.
1t is estimated that $500 persons
have been driven from their homes
within five miles of the mouth of the
Kaw river. Perhaps 1000 Of this
number is at Armourdale, whose citi-
zens mostly are working people. The
water in the streets of the greater
part of Armourdale are from two to
| three feet deep.
All last night the citizens, aided
by the police and firemen, were busy
removing household effects, rescuing
women and children and providing
shelter for ,le homeless.
The north half Of Argentine, Occu-
pied mainly by railroad and packing
house employees, is one big lake, and
at that place more than 500 persons
are without homes. There are only
eleven houses remaining, and these
are on a rise of ground, clear of wa
ter.
In the west bottoms, both in the
kaw and Missouri, the water during
the night had encroached still fur
Their upon the packing houses, into
: the easements of many wholesale
houses and the stockyards.

PIONEER DAY.

The Goth day of May of each year
was set apart as pioneer day, and
made a legal holiday at the last reg
ular session of the legislature. The
purpose is to instill into the minds
of the people and especially the chill
dren, love of the state and its in
situations and traditions. The pur-
pose is not merely to honor the mem
DRY of those who blaZed the first
trails across the state, but as the
present great commonwealth is the
fruit of their toll and hardships, any
thing which honors the state must
honor the memory of those who
founded it.
The date selected is not particu-
larly fortunate one, as the public
schools are either closed or are in
the midst of their yearly eXamina-
tons. The day also just precedes
Memorial day, which falls on the 30th
of the same month, thus bringing
two holidays together. 1t would
seem that a date in the fall OF the
year would be more appropriate, and
this in time will no doubt be RENE
died. Last Friday was the first day
set apart for the observance of the

A GOOD POLITICIAN.

One thing demonstrated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt's swing around the
circle is the fact that he is politi-
hearty hand shake, and a pleasant
word for everybody while his man
ner is at all times affable. In each
city that he visits, he manages to
leave the impression that his enter
tainment at that particular place has
been away ahead of anything else of
the kind ever rendered him. The
president is also careful to show his
democratic tastes by paying particu-
lar attention to the rough riders, the
cowboys and the people of humble
callings with whom he comes in con-
tact. Aside, however, from his little
sophistries and batteries, the presi-
dent has every natural advantage to
assist him in the role of popular poll
tician. In the first place he is a man
Of ability which gives him the respect
Of others, and the power to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity. But
the personal characteristic which,
perhaps, adds mos. to his popularity
is his intense Americanism. He has
the push and energy and the aggres-
sive spirit so characteristic of the
American people, and this makes
him popular among all classes. An
other trait which is highly regarded
is his frank and fearless method of
expressing his views upon every sub
iect of public interest. Those who
agree with him are his enthusiastic
partisans, while those who oppose
his views, like him because he is
never on the fence, he has pro-
nounced views on every subject that
is worthy of consideration, and he is
not slow in expressing them. The
president also has the advantage OF
physical strength and vigOr, which
enables him to stand the strain OF
endless travel and speechmaking
without nervous exhaustion. Mr.
Roosevelt is somewhat susceptible tC
fattery. and he is inclined to be i'm
patient with those who differ with
him, but these are weaknesses tC
which we must all plead guilty. As
an astute wire puller, he does moi
rank with Quay or Hanna, but other
wise he is the best politician and the
most popular man who has occupied
the White house for many decades.
