Smoke was issuing from his mouth when the electrician discovered where the system was being tapped, and tore the wires from the goats mouth.
 Today the animal shows only faint evil dences of having taken an internal dose of electricity heavy enough to have killed ten men.

NH Discuss Democratic Atti-
 tude on Cuban BilI
AMENDMENTS ARE OUTLINED
Minority Members of Ways and Means Committee Desire Plans for Chang ing Treay Reeulations-Wil-
 Hams Gives Reasons.

Washington. November 12.-The demo- cratic attitude on the Cuban bill. as well as its general policy on public questions, is to be the subject of caucns Of the minority members of the house, Saturday night.
 A meeting of the minority members ot the ways and means committee was held tonight for the purpose of outlining sev- eral amendments to the Cuban bill. These will include one removing the diferential on refined sugar and the elimination rom the treaty of that portion Of article which binds the United States govern ment not to reduce the duties on sugar for a period of five years. Should these amendments fall the indications are that the minority members of the house will support the Cuban bill.
 In explaining the reasons for the amend ments proposed Mr. Williams. the demo- cratic floor leader said that the demo- cratic party in his opinion, could not afford to allow, without protest the en- actment of legislation without an attempt. although an intellectual one, to bind fu- ture congresses and future administra- tons by a pledge against further redue- tion of duties upon any article with any country
 Right to Abrogate.
 The right to abrogate the treaty, he said, ought to be reserved in this instance as it is reserved in all treaties, upon due notice being given It is customary in every treaty, he said. to fix a period for the continuance of the treaty, both sides understanding that 1t is subject to the right of abrogation on notice.
 '"Ths one" continued MT. Williams, seemingly goes a bit further and un- dertakes to bind the United States legal ly in the respects mentioned Of course, legally the proposition is absurd on 1s face. But 1t Is matter of grave i'm portance, notwithstanding that fact. for this reason It might be argued when the question came mp for reconsideration that we were morally bound. although not legally bound.s As a matter of fact we would not be morally bound if the democrats came into power unless the democracy by acquieseence or by active consent had made itself bound"
 Assurance Received.
 Mir. Williams said assurance had been received from the majority side of the house BlVlng enough votes to adopt the amendment and doing away with the liners dlfferentals It was hoped, he continued, that an appeal to the common sense of the house would succeed in pass- ing the two amendments to article If the treaty. which amendments, he said. would be so framed as to deny either the legal or moral obligations to bind future congresses or administrations.
 Mir Williams expressed the hope that the democratic caucus Saturday night would adopt resolution making the acts of the caucus binding on all those who participated in the deliberations.

A Quarter of II Century.

This issue of the HERALD
ADVANCE, as will be seen by
reference to the date line of the
paper, is the initial number of
volume 20, SO you can imagine
the paper as full grown man
with whiskers-or at least a
moustache-who according to
the nature of things might be
expected to look down upon the
younger generation of news
papers that have sprung up in
the last quarter of a century
with q certain degree of
patronage.
The HERALD, originally pub.
lished at Big Stone City, was
the first paper issued in the
county, and in fact was the first
publication to be issued in any
of the two northern tiers of
counties of the state. The paper
has been under the personal
management of the present
editor during the whole of this
period, and while he has not
accumulated as much wealth as
the Vanderbilts or Rockefeller,
he has always had enough to
eat, has made an honest endeavor
to keep himself and others
as straight as possible under
the conditions of the times, has
had some fighting, and bushels
OF fun all along the way. He
has had the satisfaction and
pleasure of seeing Grant county
transformed from a wilderness
of bare prairie into one of the
richest and most productive
counties of the state, with pros
porous towns d finely cultivated
farms and he has shared with it's
people in the pleasure of the sue
cess that has come to reward
their industry and determine
ton to succeed. But better than
all this he has learned to love
the people with whom he has
been associated in a business
and social way for so many
years. He knows the sturdy
character and kindly hearts of
the great majority of them,
and is thoroughly alive to some of
the difficulties and Discourage
ments they had to overcome in
their pioneer life. He asks no
better fortune than to spend
another twenty. four years in
their midst to share with them
the good or i'll that Providence
may send them.

PuI0en-Graaf

A very pretty marriage GER
emony was that celebrated at
the Congregational church
Wednesday afternoon at five
O'Clock, when Rev. E. Fem
Lyman, the paster of the church,
united in matrimonial bonds Mr.
Charles William Graaf, of
Luverne, Mimi, and Miss Julia
Enga Thea Pullen. daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. E. S. Pullen, of
this city. The church was
prettily decorated for the event
with natures green, golden rod
and suntlowers, and a goodly
concourse OF friends and specta,
tors gathered to witness the
nuptuais. After the ceremony
the welded couple returned to
the home of the brides parents,
where with few immediate
friends an inviting supper was
partaken of. The happy couple
took the night train for the east,
where they will visit among
friends in different states for
several weeks. and will be at
home to friends in Luverne
after September 18th.

Letter from the Governor

Game Warden Mount, who is
making a sturdy endeavor TO
enforce the game laws of the
state, has received the following
letter from Governor Herreid.
Mr.. Mount says that he will, as
suggested in the letter, arrest
any one found breaking the law,
regardless of who he may be, and
prosecute the offender to the full
extent Of the statute. Those
who know the warden know that
he will do just what he says he
will in this regard. Here is the
letter:
Executive Chamber, Pierre, S. d.
August IL, 1908.
Mr.. w. w. Mount, game warden of
Grant county, Milbank, S. d.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of the Sth
inst. at hand. Two years ago Grant
county was one of the three counties
in the state from which | received
complaints alleging open and flagrant
violation of the game laws. | can
hardly believe that the sportsmen of
Milbank will again become notorious
by again violating the game laws.
The man who will hunt chickens out
of season is, in my opinion, not a
good citizen and should not be trusted
in matters of business, because man
who will violate one law is quite apt
to break any other law. Game is
plentiful this year because the game
laws have been enforced fairly we'll
during the past two years. To illus
trate: Prior to my administration
the game laws were not enforced in
many counties. AS you know now,
every game warden is under a written
pledge to enforce the law. In one
county that | could name, | appointed
as game warden man who in the
past was known to have hunted during
the closed season, but he accepted the
position and announced publicly that
he would arrest any one found break
ing the law, even if it was his next
door neighbor or his own son. The
result was that everyone waited until
the season opened. Let me suggest to
you that you announce publicly that
you will cause the arrest of any one
suspected of trying to force the season
and then follow it up with vigorous
action by yourself and deputies and |
think the men who are suspected of
breaking the law will wait. | wish
you would send me the names of the
men who are talking about combining
to break the law. | am confident that
the moral sentiment of the community
will sustain you in the course which |
have suggested. 1t is my duty to
enforce every law on the statute book,
but | can only do so by proper CO.
operation: in this case by the appoint
ment of good men. This | have done
and instead of asking you to resign,
[ call upon you to do your duty
fearlessly. Very espectfully,
CHARLES N. HERREID,
Governor

and Grant county will make
merry for three days and even
ings, commencing September
22nd at ten o'clock a. M, and
ending at ten o'clock p. m.
September "a, 1908.
The Grant county harvest
carnival and street fair, greater
and better than any heretofore
held, is the occasion for this
demonstration. Milbank does
things right, the Byron trouba-
dours will wrinkle that long faced
countenence into smiles OF
contentment. The city of white
booths, beautifully decorated
and filled with the choicest pro
ducts of the soil, the prize
winning horses. cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry and the many
other attractions make 1t your
bounden duty to get there and
bring all your family. Don't run,
just hurry.

The Byron Troubadours of
seven entertainers, present not
one great instrumentalist, sup
ported by a commonplace com
pany, but a galaxy of brilliant
players. They use piano, harp,
violin, mandolin, banjo, saxophone
and their own unique instru-
ments. This company of singu-
larly gifted artists presents a
varied program of choice vocal
and instrumental selections.
They have filed hundreds of
engagements and never fail to
please.
Here are couple of testimon-
ials which we clip from a large
number of others:
The Byron Musical Entertainment
at our church was one of the most
delightful musical treats we have ever
had. The music, vocal and instru-
mental. was fresh, breezy and highly
entertaining: not only in good form,
but pure and elevating, and it gives
me pleasure to recommend them to all
churches and christian organizations.
They are the best musical organization
of the cOlored race.-Rev. r. G. Ran
som, Chicago.
The Byron Musical Entertainers
appeared before a crowded house here
lastevening and were immense. Encore
after encore greeted them until it
seemed as if the program could not be
completed for want of time. On the
street this morning the entertainment
is the general topic of conversation.
Everybody is asking for them back
again, so kindly arrange a return date
in the near future.-Lewis Wood,
Manager Opera House, Lowell, Ind.

Sunday Closing Resolution

At d meeting of the city council
Wednesdayevening the following
action in the matter of the Sun
day closing question was taken
by the council:
A petition having been presented to
the city council signed by j. B. Stone
and one hundred and twenty others,
council to enforce any and all
ordinances which are now in existence
req equiring merchants and all other
places of business to remain closed on
the first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, and that in the event
that the ordinances now in force do
not provide for Sunday closing that
an ordinance be enacted by the
council requiring Sunday closing,
and said matter having been carefully
investigated by committee appointed
by the mayor from said city council,
and it appearing that there is no
ordinance at this time covering the
matter of Sunday closing, and it
further appearing that there is no
express authority given the city
council by the city charter to enact an
ordinance upon the question of Sun
day closing; and it being the opinion
of the city attorney and other attorneys
that if an ordinance were enacted
covering said matter that it would be
of questionable validity and the
enforcement thereof doubtful, and.
Whereas, it is the wish and desire
of the city council to grant the request
of the petitioners SO far as the council
has power SO to do, and it appearing
eminently right and proper that all
places of business should close on
the said first day of the week,
Therefore, Resolved, that it is the
sense of the mayor and the city
council that all places of business be
closed on the first day of the week,
commonly called Sunday, and all
merchants and other business men are
respectfully requested to close their
places of business on that day, and
to refrain from exercising any and all
secular business pursuits, and.
Whereas, S42 of the Revised Penal
Code of 1903, of the State of South
Dakota forbids all servile labor,
trades, manufacture and mechanical
employments and all public traffic,
and $47 OF said Code provides against
all manner of public selling, offering
or exhibiting for sale publicly any
commodity, and there also being
adequate provision made under said
state laws for the enforcement of said
law, and the punishment of viOlators
thereof,
Therefore, Further Resolved, That
the chief of police of the city of
Milbank be and hereby is instructed
to make complaint against and see
referred to.
Dated this 18th day of August, 1908.
