A GRAND OPENING
Tickets for the First Perform
ance at the Theatre
all Sold.
An Event Of More than Usual
Interest to the Pierre
Show Goers.

a rush, will occur tonight, by the pre-
sentation Of the play, Quincy Adams
Sawyer" one of the best on the stage.
The seats in the new theatre are
practically all sold for CHS show, at
prices of $3, So and 81, for the dress
circle, balcony and gallery, respectively.
rical event in the history of Pierre, for
it is the best company that has ever
visited our city, brought here at consid
cradle expense by Mr.. Hyde for this
opening especially. Besides this it will
be the initiation of the finest opera house
IN South Dakota, and one Of the best in
the west, built without regard to ex-
pense, and capable of seating atleast
twelve hundred people. On the second
night, Friday, the 26, the Maize Truln-
bull company VIII give taking musical
farce, with superb combination Of
fun and music. Either one Of these
shows are of the highest class on the
road and are well worth more than the
price of admission. The tickets and
reserved seats are on sale at the Hatch
4 Fisher store on Pierre street.
Mr.. Hyde, who will take the active
management of his big opera house, has
made dates with some OF the leading
theatrical troops in the United States
to play in his theatre this fall and
winter, and promises that none OF them
will prove disappointment to the
public. He is bringing each show here
on a guarantee, at good prices, and pro
poses to give Pierre the best going in
this line during the season. He deserves
the utmost good will and appreciation
of our people for providing us with an
opera house that would be credit to
even such cities as st. Paul or Min
neapolis, and tor his public spirit is
entitled to the future gratitude OF all
our people. His new theatre is pro
vlded with more entrances and escapes
and more safety for the guests thar
any other play house in the west, and
any one who goes there can do so with
]. a perfect feeling Of safety at all times
In fact, the new grand opera house is
4 the best Of its kind, and the people Of
Pierre, during these two open
ing shows, will find that Chas, L. Hyde
has builded an enterprise in this city O.
which everybody will always be proud

Local News Notes.

The workers on the caissons Monday
dug up lot of bones, with the skull
and horns of an immense buffalo about
thirty fee, below low water mark, and
ten feet from hard pan. The stubs OF
the horns on the skull measured thirty
four inches from tip to tip. This ami
NAL must have been buried in the sands
that compose the bottom of the river
thousands of years ago, when the great
ice cap came down from the north
and forced the Missouri river from its
ancient channel in the James river val
ley to its present bed. The presence of
arrow heads encrusted with lime and
other substance in the gravel pits about
Pierre and other evidences of a prehisto
ric habitation of this country by man
and beast thousands OF years ago lends
interest to lovers of geology inthis sect
ion. If the history Of the very ancient
people who once inhabited this country,
and the strange aulmals that roamed
its vast areas, could be written, it would

ranchmen are thorough sportsmen.
The party left civilization at Gate
way, Mont, and entered the wilderness
In very short time they hit the jungle
and the mountains.
Mr. Herreid said this morning that
the advertisements of this country sent
out by railroads in which they call it
The Sportsman's Paradise, they are not
overdrawng or eXaggerating aparticle.
Mr.. Herreid said he never saw such a
superb country in his life and also that
it is alive with game and fish They
lost one horse which got away in the
jungle and disappeared. 1t will proba-
bly, be the leader Of a band of wild horses

One Exception.

Aberdeen News: senator Gamble in
a speech at Madison said there was no
division i'll the Republican party in this
state and that all would line up for the
measures advocated by the state plat
form. The senator is right in saying
there is no division in the party, but as
far as the platform is concerned there
is one plank the Republicans as a whole
do not endorse. This is the plank that
would deprive families Of railroad en-
ployes of the pass privilege. When it
comes to enacting the anti pass laws the
coming winter, is very probable this
plank will be ignored. 1t owes its place
in the platform to over-enthusiasm
and its presence there was one Of the
causes why G. N. Herreid Of this city
declined to sign the report of the plat.
form committee. Another cause was
the refusal of the committee again in
its enthusiasm to express appreciation
for the good work done for the state
by the entire congressional delegation
Barring these things, the PLATFORM i.

Bncksport and orIand Wells

The field investigation of the wells at
Bucksport and oriand has just been COM
pleted by Frederick G. Ciapp, of the hy-
geographic branch Of the United States
geological survey.
In the ghborhood OF Bucksport good
wells are found at almost every farm. As
a rule, water can be obtained in the valley
without difficulty, but ON the hills the
water is not so plentiful and does not al
ways hold out during drought.
There are only three drilled wells in
Bccksport and hut five in orisnd. These
wells in general encounter hard, slaty
rocky, although well eighty-seven feet
deep at East orland was drilled entirely
in gravel. Gravels of the same type
abound in most of the valleys of this see
tion, and IL is probable that wells in other
parts OF the town might be successful.
The wells drilled in the rock are usually
good, although the water in some of them
tastes OF iron.
The United States geological survey Is
making comprehensive investigation OF
the springs and wells of Maine, and the
result of the work will be published for
free distribution. The report will contain
discussions OF the factors that control the
occurrence OF underground water, de-
scriptions OF the local conditions in all
parts Of the State, and general informa-
tion concerning the quantity and quality
OF water that is available.

democracy can result in a miscon-
struction of a plain, straightforward
statement, backed as it is by life
long record for uprightness in every
walk of life.
The sentiment of this county is
overwhelmingly for enforcement and
against notification. II there turks a
doubt in any ones mind as to the ac
curacy of this statement, the results
of the elections of 1902 and 1904 are a
sufficient answer.
A majority of the voters of Han
cock county want a sheriff who will
enforce the liquor law, and they in
tend to have one. A majority of the
voters of Hancock county are re-
publicans, and with Mr.. Treworgy as
candidate there is absolutely no
reason for any republican going out
side the party for sheriff who will
enforce the liquor law.
While noininally the election of the
present sheriff was democratic vic
tory, everybody knows that he was
elected by republicans, and that
they voted for him not because he
was democrat, but because they be-
lieved he would enforce the liquor
law.
For exactly the same reason, those
republicans who are responsible for a
democratic sheriff should this year
vote for Mr.. Treworgy, the re-
publican candidate, whose record
in public and private life stamps him
as a mar whose word is as good as his
bond.
With such candidate the repubh-
can party earnestly appeals to every
one of its members to be loyal; To
turn deaf ear 10 the insidious whis-
pprings of willy foe, and not he
misled by his malicious insinua,io ions
and false reports.
Mr.. Treworgs is now home after an
enforced absence of several week.,
and is actively engaged in prosecuting
his own canvass as well as that of the
entire ticket.

The present political status of W. O.
Emery, democratic candidate for reg
isler of deeds, appears to have been
settled. Having accepted the nomi-
nation on the regular democratic
ticket, he has also agreed, we under
stand, actively to support the county
ticket OF that party.
Mr.. Emery sought the republican
nomination for this Office on the
ground of his long time active repae-
licanism. Upon what grounds can he
ask for republican votes at the polls?
1t is difficult TO see, also, what reason
can be advanced by him for asking for
de mocratic votes. 1t can't be his long
service in the republican party. His
service in the democratic party is lin
tied 10 few weeks Has his future
support been pledged TO tnat pai n :?
II SO, it may he sufficient considers

Our Candidate for sherifr

With characteristic efirontery the
democrats are quietly but industri-
ously circulating the story that the
Bepublican candidate for sheriff has
not announced his position on the
apestion of enforcement, and there
fore no one knows whether he is for
or against the enforcement of the
psohibitory law.
This wholly false and misleading
assumption is based on the iact that
IN formally announcing his candidacy
Sn the newspapers, he did not speci-
fcally state his position on this vital
point. And it is true; he did not.
With the modesty that is characters
Hc Of the man, he merely announced
that he was candidate for the nomi-
nation for the Office of sheriff; he
did not state where he stood; it
wasn't necessary; everybody knew 1t
then, just as everybody knows it now.
The convention knew it, or it wouldn't
Aaye nominated him.
Although nobody is likely to be
sooled by this absurd illumination of
desperate democrats, still Mr.. Ire
worgy deems it best TO state his views
aver his own signature, and this state
rent may be found elsewhere in these
olamns.

The Ticket Complete

The Ticket Complete.
The nomination last Saturday OF L
F. Giles for representative to The
legislature from Ellsworth completes
the list of representatives TO be voted
for az the election in September.
This list may be found at the head of
this column.
Not for a moment during the ex-
citement that is sure to develop be-
tween now and e.ection day should
the fact be overlooked that the next
legislature is TO elect United States
senator, and while the chance that
Senator Frye will not be chosen is
ludicrously small, nevertheless every
vote is needed to emphasize the worth
of Maine's junior senator in the great
law making body of the nation.
Neither Ellsworth, the home OF the
States honored senior senator, Eu-
gene Hale, nor Hancock county de-
sires to run the risk Of having a vote
in the next legislature cast for any
other than Mr. Frye. To the END
that neither this town nor this county
shall suffer such humiliation, it be-
hooves all 70 see to it that an un-
broken delegation goes to Augusta to
assist in the agreeable task of con-
tinuing Senator Frye in the Senate
of the United States Of which for SO
long he has been an honored and a
useful member.
