FLEET GOES

 Enforce Demands. MUST PUNISH GUILTY
Porte Told That AsSaSSinS of | s. Vice Consul MageIssen
 Must be Captured.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Acting Sec retary of the Navy Darling sent this cablegram at l2:l5 this morning to Rear Admiral Cotton at Nice:
 "Vice consul at Beirut reported aS- sassinated. Proceed immediately near est port. Report.
 DARLING.'
 It is expected the squadron will get away immediately upon the receipt of this telegram, the Brooklyn, San Fran cisco and Machias going together.
 Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 27.-Presi- dent Roosevelt tonight issued orders that the European squadron, under command of Admiral Cotton, should proceed to Beirut, Syria, to be in readi- ness to support any demand made by the United States on Turkey on account of the assassination of William C. Mag elssen, United States vice consul at Beirut.
 The president manifested anxious in- terests in the announcement of the as sassination of Vice Consul Magelssen, the first information concerning which was conveyed to him by representa- tive of the Associated Press.
 Shortly afterward he received from Acting Secretary of State LoomiS a telegram communicating to him Minis ter Leishman's $ cablegram announcing the murder and advising him of the steps already taken by the state de- partment. The president tonight is in close communication with the depart ment, and will be kept fully advised of tho details of the incident as they are ascertained.
 A demand that officials of the United States be afforded protection for their lives and property will be made, and the Turkish government will be held responsible for the assassination of Vice Consul Magelssen whatever may be the circumstances.
 President Roosevelt is concerned over
 
 the situation as it has developed today, because it indicates au intolerable con- dition of affairs in Turkey. He re- calls the fact that only recently Rus sian consul was murdered in Turkey.
 The European squadron is so situated that it will require several days for it to rendezvous at Beirut. Meantime the officials of the state department will be fully advised by Minister Leish- man of the details of the crime and the president will then be in position to present to Turkey the demands of the United States with naval force on the spot of sufficient strength to enforce them adequately.

THE CAPITAL.

Very little interest is taken in the capital removal question
by people of the Hills so far and from a careful personal can
vass among prominent business men we can say without fear
of successful contradition that the Black Hills vote will de-
clare for the capital to remain where it is-at Pierre. Our
Pierre is but 100 mile, from the Hills by wagon road, and
some 300 miles from the nearest Hills point and is far from
the center of the state. MitChells claim is that the Milwau-
kee road will build across the reservation if Mitchell is chosen
tor capital. On the other hand Pierre assures us that the
Northwestern road can get across the reservation much
quicker than the Milwaukee, as Pierre is much nearer to the
Hills than Mitchell. Mitchell claims to be nearer the center
of population than Pierre and Pierre answers that new settlers
are pouring in on the reservation at such an extent that she
will 'soon occupy the center point of population. These are
about the arguments presented by the two towns.
The Hills people favor Pierre, there is no question about
that, and they have good. sensible reasons for doing SO. They
know that Pierre is the proper geographical point. They
know the reservation is now experiencing a tremendous influx
of honeseekers and they also know the Northwestern road
will roll cars into the Hills Just as soon, if not sooner than the
Milwaukee. They see no reason why the capital should be
removed; they see nothing to be gained by moving, and so will
vote to let it remain where it is.
This is the sentiment. of our people, and of every newspaper
in the Hills that has mentioned the matter, with one single
exception and that is Charley Moodys poor old Sturgis Record.
Mitchell declared some time ago that she would 60 out when
the time came and buy up these one-horse newspapers for
thirty cents apiece" and she has done it in this case. Moody
is for Mitchell. He says in his last issue he will keep his
readers informed of reasons why Mitchell should have the
capital ~! He of course fails to give his reasons" Poor
Moody! Poor Mitchell!

Virtues Reward.

The baby that's good lies all day long
Toying away with his toes,
And no one fingers to Groom him a song
Or lessen his little woes.
The baby that's good neglected lies
Where the sun shines into his linking
eyes
And the flies trot over his nose.
The baby that squalls all day, all night,
Is mothers sweet, precious pet!"
She fondles and rocks him with all her
might
And leaves everything. else upset:
The baby that only knows how to suuall
Is dandled and pampered and always gets
all
The care that there is to get.
The man who quietly tolls away,
With never q plant nor sigh,
Just doing his best day after day,
With hopes of the by and by,
Who merely accepts what the world ac-
cords,
Receives but few Of the sweet rewards
For which the successful try.
The man who demands the best there is,
Who asks-as the poorest may
Though others have stronger claims than
his,
Takes the fairest gifts away;
The man who asks may have little worth,
But he gets the best that there ia on
earth
For saying his little say.

Il TWELVE PAGE UNION.

The Union has felt for sometime that its readers were not
getting enough reading matter in its columns. We have been
carrying too much advertising for the amount of reading mat
ter given. We have not been altogether to blame for this.
We attempted to remedy matters some time ago by raising the
price Of our space, but this did not bring about the desired
result. The advertisers have gotten on to the fact that the
Unions list is steadily on the increase, and that we have at
least two times the legitimate circulation of any other Southern
Hills paper. They demand space for their announcements
amp we see no way but to give it 70 them. We also know our
readers should have more reading matter and we are going to
give that to them. We present this week twelve pages of
live reading matter, and from now on the size of the Union will
be twelve pages.
