Something like the Kinkaid bin
as liz applies to Nebraska will be
pushed next winter In congress for
that great region of country be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Black Hills. BY it the homestead
err can file upon GAO acres instead Of
l6O. It Is believed il will promote
the settlement OF the country and
lead to railroad building and the
starting of many new towns
The foregoing is extracted from an
Interview with Congressman Burke OF
South Dakota, published in Saturdays
issue OF the Minneapolis Journal. IT is
a forecast of an intention on the part
of the South Dakota delegation TO legis-
late three families CT from every quar-
ter section west of the Missouri RIVER,
an intention to turn the country be-
tween the Missouri river and the Black
Hills over to the cattle growers for all
time to come.
representatives OF South Dakota might
be behind this scheme and Mr.. Burke
confirms the fear.
His home city is resting its hope of
the future upon the argument that the
trans Mississippi region is capable Of
sustaining an agricultural population
OF the usual density, while Mr.. Burke

too much for one family and Is pr0pos-
ing to open the door Of opportunity to
a single individual to sell an entire
section to cattle producers engaged In
the business of possessing themselves

The Press, an ardent supporter d
Pierre for an alleged Independent pa.
per, correctly represents the argu
ment Of Pierre and the trend Of Con,
gresham Burke's position. All the
Pierre literature and newspapers, even
Mr.. Deland in his speech here Tuesday
night, claim that the territory west d
Pierre when properly farmed will pro
duce - good crops b any South Dako
Ia land And yet Mr.. Burke, whose
home Is in Pierre, admits, as the Pres
Says, that $40 acres is none too much
for one family" and will favor ia ths
next congress bill similar To the Kin
kaid bill In Nebraska to be applied K
South Dakota. Here are some 1mpor
tant Pierre Witnesses admitting al
thai Mitchell ever claimed and knock

and reasonable then, to conclude tina

Now, fellow citizens, word before
/ leave you. on the very eve OF the holy
day Of God i fit moment to consecrate
ourselves to the great work Of next
Tuesday morning see in this great
audience tonight great many young
men, young men who are about to cast
their first vote. want to give you a
word OF suggestion and advice. | heard
a very brilliant thing said by boy the
other day up in one of the northwes
tern counties. He said to me; Cen
eral, have great mind 10 vote the
democratic ticket That was not the
brilliant thing. / said to him: Why
why, said he, my father is repub-
lican and my brothers are republicans,
and am republican all over. but I
want TO be an independent man, and
don't want anybody to say: THAT
fellow votes the republican ticket just
because his dad does, aud I have
half a mind TO vote the democratic
ticket just to prove my independence.
! did not like the thing the boy sug-
gested, but did admire the spirit Of
the boy that wanted TO have some In
dependence of his own.
ssNow tell you, young man, don't
vote the republican ticket just because
your father votes IL. Don't vote the
democratic ticket, even IL he does vote
1t. But let me give you this one word
of advice, as you are about TO pitch
your tent in one OF the great political
camps. Your life is full and buoyant
with hope now, and beg you when
you pitch your tent, pitch itamong the

party, let me go with you for moment
while we survey the ground where |
hope you will not shortly lie. IT Is a
sud place, young man, for you to put
your young life into. It is to me far
more like graveyard than like a camp
for the living.
Oh, young man, come out 81 that.
That is no place in which to put your
young life. Come out, and come over
into this camp OF liberty, Of law, OF Or
der, Of justice, Of freedom, Of all that
Is glorious under these night stars

There are no dead ideas here. Hang

The prisoner was taa.en to Mount Ollvet

although orderly and quiet 1t was almost
impossible to push through 1t.
At 2 p. m. the trial began A jury was
soon impaneled. the witnesses heard, and
tonight the case went to the jury. Colonel
williams and Judge Osborne decided that
the troops and the prisoner would not

be trouble. Jailer Thompson was
tremely popular and the people are anx-
ious that Maybrier be hanged.

day had the militia not been present. The

Says Roosevelt is a Fraud.

Binghampton n. Y, August 25-For-
mer Senator David b. Hill opened the
democratic campaign in Broom county to-
day in a speech at the agricultural fair
at Deposit. In the course of his address
Senator Hin touched upon the tariff ques-
zion, saying he believed In an honest re-
vision of the tariff laws so that vast cor
porate interests should not be subserved
to the detriment of the people. Referring
to the financial interests of the country
the senator said:
''The gold standard has been rrevo-
cabiy established, so there Is no necessity
for a change The democratic party
which established the present currency
system can safely be trusted whenever
the necessity shall arisesto make such
changes for the best interests of the
people
Speaking of the essential differences
between the republican and the democrat
ic parties. the speaker said the difference
is that the republican party stands for
private purposes and the democratic par
ty for public purposes.
''Theodore Roosevelt, the republican
candidate for the presidency" declared
Mr. Hill, rs a fraud At the time he
took his oath of office In Buffalo after
the assassination of President Mckinley,
he declared In public that he would sim
ply fill McKinley's place; that ne would
not look for denomination. Later on the
same train with McKinley's dead body he
gave out a statement to the press to the
effect that he thought he had been misun-
derstood by the public. which meant prac-
tically that he was a candidate for re-
nomination. The republicans had him on
their hands and could do nothing but re-
nominate him."

BABCOCK HAS CAUSE
TO BECOME UNEASY
DEMOCRATS IN HIS DISTRICT ARE
CONFIDENT THAT LAFOLLETTE
VOTE WILL GO TO DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEE.

Washington, August .-(Special.) )-The
democrats of the Third Wisconsin dis
tric. will nominate for congress next
Tuesday r. l.. cleary. His opponent is
Representative Babcock. chairman of the
republican congressional committee,
which lends additional interest to the re-
suit in November.
The Lafollette forces are opposed to
Babcock, and Cleary's supporters are
claiming that they W get at least half
of the republican votes.
Chairman Babcock, who is in New York
managing the republican congressional
campaign, is said to be devoting more
than fair proportion o. his time to .he
Wisconsin districts. especially his own
while the chairmal feels that with some
thing like 5000 majority he can afford to
laugh at the democratic claims on his
district. At the same time the Lafollette
ghost is causing hln considerable uneasi-
ness and not a little of the republican
campaign fund will finl it's way into Wis
consin this fall.

Three Persons Are Injured at
Hawthorn Race Track
EFFORT TO ROB BOOKMAKERS
Spectators at Races Step on Dynamite
Caps, Which Causes Panic Among
the Crowds About the
Tracks.

Chicago. August 25.-By the explosion Of
some dynamite caps, and in the panic
that followed 1t, three persons were In
jured this afternoon at the Hawthorne
race track. It is supposed that the caps
were thrown on the floor of the betting
ring with the idea of creating a panic
durnig which the cash boxes of the
bookmakers might be robbed. An at
tempt was made to rob one bookmaker,
but 1t failed The injured:
Frank Williams, left foot lacerated.
Mitchell Pruno, right foot lacerated.
A. McGill. received a severe scalp
wound and was badly bruised In the panic
In the ring.
None OF the injured is seriously hurt.
Tears Off His Shoe.
The first explosion was caused by Will
liams who, while walking through the
east side of the ring, stepped on a cap.
1t exploded. tearing off his shoe and
lacerating his foot severely. He fell to
the floor with cry, and instantly there
was a shout that an insane man was dis
charging his revolver at random. Imme-
diately there was wild panle and while
the bookmakers, selling their cash boxes,
bent low In their booths. the crowd
rushed across the south side of the ring
In an effort to escape. Just as the thick
of the throng reached this side OF the
ring somebody stepped on another cap
and the crowd tore back to the place
where 1t had started on the first run.
McGill was knocked down during this
rush and was trampled upon.
Explosion Under Chair.
A third explosion took place some min
utes after the panic had been allayed.
II occurred Just beneath chair on witch
Bruno was sitting, threw him 10 the
floor, and portion of the cap struck his
foot. tearing 1t badly.
While the excitement was at Its high
est a man made an effort to grab the
cash box of a bookmaker doing business
under the name OF the Chicago Club. He
was knocked down by a clerk, and ran
away before he could be arrested.

MAY APPOINT MARLBOROUGH.
Rumor Has II That He Is to BE, Gov
ernor General of Canada.

Ottawa, Ont, August 25.-The re-
port is revived here that the Duke of
Marlborough may be appointed gov
ernor general of Canada. When first
mentioned some months ago the report
was received with incredulity, but
since then It is stated Developments
have occurred which render the APP
pointment more probable.
One Of them Is that the duke has
been training at the colonial office.
There is also the fact that he stands
in high favor with the present admlnis-
tration. A leading government official
to whom the report was mentioned to-
day stated that although he had heard
nothing of the matter. he would not
be surprised If the duke were ap-
pointed
