Death Penalty Is Passed Upon Anoth.

er Butte Murderer.
Butte, Nov. 15.-Sentence to be
hanged by the neck until dead was
passed upon Harry Penna by Judge
Donlan yesterday morning, the date
of exeuction, according to law, to be
fixed in the death warrant, which will
be issued tomorrow. Thirty days af-
ter passing of sentence is the earliest
date allowed, and sixty days the lat
est. 1t is probable, however, that
there will be a postponement, if the
appeal which the attorneys for the de.
Tense are preparing is perfected. No.
tice Of this action was given after the
motion for new trial was denied, and
the attorneys are awaiting only the
transcript of evidence. The appeal
will act as stay of execution until
it is decided.
The attorneys for Penna objected to
sentence yesterday, as they had been
unable to secure the transcript on
which to base the appeal, but Judge
Donlan ruled that the matter should
be disposed of at once, saying that
there would be ample time in which
to perfect the appeal
Penna, utterly Indifferent to his sur

respond exactly with the predictions
given out by the committee on Thurs
day before election. OF all the dis
tricts throughout the United States,
which the committee marked as GER
tainly Republican, we failed in carry
ing but four. The result shows that
the people emphatically indorse the
administration of the president and ap-
prove the work of the first session OF
the Fifty-ninth congress. 1t shows
that the people desire a continuance
of prosperity, and shows their belief
that prosperity can be depended upon
under Republican administration, and
the belief that it will surely disappear
under Democratic rule.
THE election means that the great
economic tenets of Republicanism are
still approved by Americans"

The Ideal Family Laxative

Is one that can be used by the en-.
tire family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose, always
having the same effect. otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold, which
allows hem to mellow. We do not be-
lieve there is laxative on the market
that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for ov.
er a century and are sold in every
drug and medicine store. either plain

Colored Soldiers in DISGRACE,

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 15.-
Four companies Of the Twenty-sixth
infantry were started for Fort Reno,
Okla, last night on special train
from San Antonio. They were sent
as precautionary measure, conse-
quent upon a dismissal of Companies
B, c and D, of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, by order of President Roose-
welt, as a result of the riotous dis
turbances in Brownsville, Texas, Aug
ust 10.
The negro troops are to be formally
dismissed, and the citizens of Reno,
where the troops are stationed fear
trouble will follow. Since the arrival
at Reno, which is two miles distant
from Fort Reno, the negro troops have
been placed under the strictest discip-
line, being subjected to roll call ev-
cry two hours.
The formal order for the discharge
of the disgraced troops was issued at
Washington yesterday. The date OF
actual dismissal is not known here.

The two immense counties of
Lyman and Stanley now form on
ly one legislative district, and un-
der the present apportionment are
entitled to only one senator and
one representative in the legisla-
ture. The convention was held
last week and W. A. Sweeney nom
mated for senator and Frank W.
Rood for the house. Under our
constitution reapportionments can
be made only at the legislative ses-
sions next following either a state
or national census. This will per-
nit reapportionment by the next
legislature, but unfortunately it
will be based upon the census re-
turns of 1905, and as this enur1er-
alton was made before the great
immigration to those counties they
will not receive a just representa-
ton until after the next census is
taken in 1910.

Mrs, Kaufman Held for Trial,

The preliminary hearing in the
case Of the state vs. Mrs. Moses
Kaufman of Sioux Falls, charged
with killing her hired girl, Agnes

week, was resumed yesterday. The
damaging testimony given at the
previous hearing, together with the
sight Of the blood st,inea garments
of the girl which m,ve since come
iutopossession Of The prosecution,
mute evidence Of the awful tortures
that the victim must have endured,
had aroused the pn.nale te . state

defense made no objections and
the motion was granted. The de-
fendant's attorney then asked the
court to grant his client adequate
protection, stating that on the way
to the court room she had been
Missed and spat upon, and treated
in despicable manner. The court
promised all the protection he could
afford, but this proved to be very
little. AS the defendant left the
court room she was met with jerrs
and Kisses, women spat upon her,
and cries Of chang her, "tear her
in pieces,'' y String her up" !"
Scratch her eyes out" were heard
as the infuriated mob josllad
against her. She was hurried 10 a
carriage, and with all possible
haste was driven to her home where
for th7 past week she has been
kept in charge Of the sheriff. bat
the fury of the people was SO great
that the authorities did not dare
leave her there, and after q b:iei
stop she was taken to the city jail
where almost in a state Of collapse
she was placed behind the bars.

The plan of using Sioux Falls
stone in the capitol building re-
gardless of cost doesn't meet with
universal approval. Here are two
views:
Huron Huronite: II it cost
100000 more to build a $500, 900
building out of Sioux Falls granite
than it does out Of Bedford stone
we are for the Bedford stone, and
the new state administration will
probably hesitate while before it
recklessly spends $30O,O00 to ap-
pease Sioux Falls quarrymen.
Brookings Press: Meanwhile,
Sioux Falls may explain why nine
tenths of the buildings in the Queen
City are built Of material purchas-
ed from outside the state. Why
didn't they build the Cataract out
of Sioux Falls stone instead OF
Twin City pressed brick ? 1t is just
as reasonable to insist on building
the capitol out Of Black Hills gold.

Dakota Farmers Leader: Major
Dollard's speech in supporting the
nomination of Col. Parker, was
brilliant and full of that spirit of
comradeship which made him the
idol of his soldiers in camp or in
battle during the civil war. His
powerful voice was heard all over
that great hall as he told of Col.
Parker's war record and of the
pride every old soldier iu the state
would feel in supporting him for
an Office he is SO eminently quail
fed to fill. When justice to a COM
rade is demanded no man in the
state will respond quicker than our
old friend Major Dollard, who was
one of the most dashing cavalry Of
ficers that ever led charge. His
record as one of the republican
leaders of years ago is spotless and
hundreds of friends aawere glad to
see him in the front rank leading
in the battle for honest govern.
ment, as machine politics have al
ways been distasteful to his rugged
honesty and love of justice. The
veterans in the convention, and
they were numerous, and the old
time party leaders were glad to see
the Major looking SO we'll, as his
health has not been robust Of late.
His speech in support of his old
comrade, Col. Parker, was received
with enthusiastic applause, evi-
dence that that great body of ear
nest men appreciated both of the
distinguished veterans.

The union of the Presbyterian
church in the United States of
America and the Cum berland Pres
byterian church, which was per-
fected at the meeting of the gener-
al assembly in Des Moines recent
ly, and which was heralded as a
forerunner of other church unions
in the future, is likely yet to foun-
der on the rocks of factional preju-
dice. By the revision of creeds
and changes in church policies the
two divisions had practically come
together on all essential difference
es SO that it was believed that the
union could be formally made
without friction. However, a fac
ton of the Cumberland church re-
fuses to recognize the union. 10G
non. union delegates of the Cum
berland body have held another as
sembly, and claim to represent a
membership of 10000 who char
acterize themselves the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, and
they declare that they will take le-
gal steps to hold the property for
merly belonging to that denomina-
ton.

BEATS HIS BRIDE
ON HONEYMOON
YOUNG WIFE TELLS STORY OF
CRUELTY
Pretty Mabel Eaton Is Given a Decree
of Divorce After Recital of
Her Wrongs in
Court

Mabel Eaton, a pretty young woman
scarcely 20 years of age, yesterday won
a divorce from her husband, James w.
Eaton, before Judge Conrey of depart
ment of the superior court, after she
had testified that on the very first day
of her welded life her husband had
given her a severe humping.
The unfortunate young bride stated
that the marriage had occurred in
March of this year, the nuptials being
celebrated at her mothers home, after
which they started out on their honey
moon, the first afternoon of which
they had spent at little home of their
own.
According to the wife's statements
on the witness stand, however, trouble
came early to her and within about an
hours time after she had entered the
place called "home" her husband was
administering a drubbing to her.
Mrs. Eaton was loath to tell how the
trouble occurred so quickly, but finally
admitted that her husband was not
satisfied with the arrangement of the
articles in the little home and had pro-
ceeded to muss things up, whereupon
she had objected and he refusing to
be balked as master of his house, be-
gan early to show his authority by the
drubbing process. Mrs. Eaton testified
that she had frequently been mis-
treated by her young husband and
gave Judge Conrey thoroughly to un-
derstand that she could no longer live
with Eaton. She was granted the di-

Councilman Harmon Tries in Vain
to Spur His Confreres to
Action

Councilman Harmon tried yesterday
afternoon to have the council rescind
it's action in regard to dismissing the
gas meter inspector from Office and to
provide instead that all fees for in
specting meters be abolished.
The contention has been made that
the fees assessed for inspecting meters
has practically made the berth useless,
as residents will not pay to have their
meters examined.

ingly repeated three times, do 1 hear

"I voted to have the city attorney

section of the utility ordinance because
1 believed the mayor would exercise
his veto power. l do not care to see
the office abolished. but as long as a
fee is charged there will be few inspec-

LYON NAV BE lnellnlhln

Secretary Lissner said last night that
he is investigating a report that Henry
Lyon, the bartender elected to the
council by the Republicans i'm the
Seventh ward is not eligible to hold
the office.
The law requires that q councilman
must have been a continuous resident
of the ward from which he is elected
for two years prior to the election,
whereas Lyon is said to have lived out
side the ward for six months last year
and also that he was not a resident
of the ward all of this year.
Should another election be held. Mar
tin Betkouski, who was on the nom
partisan ticket, undoubtedly would be
elected. Betkouski fought both the Re-
publican machine, which was behind
Lyon, and the Democratic push, which
worked for Henry Kearney. and he
carried the residence district of the
ward, but was defeated in the East
First, Main and saloon districts.
