A smau nov.s Inveutton

Sir Hiram Maxim began to invent al
most as soon as he could lisp. When
but small boy he invented a sort of
sextant made of wood, with sights, n
piece of thread With bullet at the
end, and an Indicator for the thread
to swing along On a dark night he
took his instrument outside, and while
he sighted it to the north star his lit
tie sister read the Indicator "Forty-
five, Hiram," she called out. This
meant they We're living in 40 degrees
north latitude. The observation proved
to be perfectly accurate.

Pierre just as soon as one is built from

and its people have always been loyal
friends to the Black Hills and to all
while Mitchell has been persistently
trying to injure that region and seek
ing to convince the eastern part of the
state that everything this side of the
river was worthless and would never be

Gus detriment to this whole region and
must be injurious to the state if that
sentiment is supported by the people

portion of the state. To support
Mitchell is acknowledging to the world
that we favor taking step backward;
that the only portion of the state worth
considering is from Mitchell eastward;
that there is nothing west of the river
in which our people have any conf
dence or faith. and that we concede all
that Mitchell has said Thus we would
retard the growth of our state and be-
little our own interests and decrease
the value of our state and school lands
to an unmarketable degree. Voters
should carefully consider this question
and vote for their own interests rather
than for the selfish interests of Mitch
ell and its real estate speculators.
Nobody can compute the extra expense
that the taxpayers of the state would
be put to by voting to move the capital.

state is at stake in this matter, and the

REPUBLICAN COUNTY
CENTRAL COMMITTEE

During national campaigns the books
OF the treasurer and manager are kept
i'll peculiar Way. Instead of entering
accounts by name each account is
given a number and is thus carried
throughout the campaign. The key to
this legendary system is known only
to two or three trusted men, and the
accountants who Keep the books have
not the slightest knowledge of what
state committee or other organization
or individual stands behind the num-
Der. After the campaign is over the
books are burned, and all the records,
except possibly some private memoran-
da kept b. the manager, are wiped
out of existence. Such a thing as the
auditing of campaign expenditures was
never known and probably never will
be known so far rs national campaigns
are concerned. Everything is trusted
to the honor of the responsible men,
and l have never heard that any Of
the managers of & national campaign
We're suspected of betrayal of their
trust in amy way.-Walter Wellman in

Well, On. d. 70 N. w. 227.
The language of the statute, Sec. 2l94
Political Code, provides as stated above
that the notice shall be published
''once week for three consecutive
weeks prior to the sale. If the statute
stopped here this notice would be sutfi-
cient. But it does not. 1t provides
that such PUBLICATION shall commence
''THE FIRST WEEK IN OCTOBER preceding
the sale" Therefore the three weeks
provided for by the statute is not mere
ly the three weeks preceding the sale
but the three particular weeks preced.
ing the sale beginning the first week in
October. Hence, considering the strict
ness of the rule that all statutory re-
quirements concerning the notice of
tax sale must be complied with literal
ly, In my judgement the courts would
probably hold that A TAX TITLE
BASED UPON A SALE WRERE THE
NOTICE WAS NOT PUBLISHED
UNTIL THE SECOND WEEK IN
OCTOBER WOULD BE VOID so far
as conveying to the holder of the tax
title the legal title.
Very truly yours,

This opinion needs no further ex.

point and explains emphatically to the
taxpayers of Fall River county what
the neglect of County Treasurer Craven
has done to the delinquent list. This
is indeed not very comforting to the
people who pay their taxes. It is up
to them now to express their approval
or disapproval of Mr.. Craven's conduct
of the office of county treasurer
whether they can afford to sustain
such neglect of official duties or not.

Later in the day he will have meeting with the repre- sentatives of the packers and listen to their statement, and he will then un- dertake the task of reconciling the diff ferences.
 A large committee of the retail deal CTS called upon him and asked him to use his good offices in ending the strike The mayor said that he would gladly do all that lay in his power to put an end to the trouble, and meet ing between him and the labor lead- CTS was at once arranged for this morning. ssss ss z ss.5 Ss < : $.
 The mayor then set about arranging meeting with the packers, and they promptly sent him word that they would meet him, but they were un- able to agree upon an hour for the conference for the reason that the mayor could not tell how long his ses- sion with the labor leaders would con tinue. He will meet the packers, how ever, soon after the meeting with the men is over.

As the farmer and others ap- preached the infuriated animal, catch ing the body on his horns, tossed it high in the air. The animal was driven off after persistent work by several farmers armed with pitch forks. The. little fellows skull was crushed and his body horribly mutt lated.
