Chesapeake Beach
Appeals to Children

No resort around Washington ap-
peals so strongly 10 the children as
does Chesapeake Beach. They are
near the water when they arrive at the
station and ever IL within Ave minutes
later. Out on the pier they drop lines
for crabs and in half a minute begin
pulling the awkward. sprawling crea-
lures upon the boards.
IL is an easy sport. requiring neither
experience. patience. nor any other OF
the many attributes that must be pos
sessed bv the angler. who tries for more
wary and difficult game The crabs
clutch the first piece OF meat on the
end OF a string that c,mes in their
direction and hang on until they are
drawn to the top of the water and
scooped up IN a net. Every day a score
OF more family picnic parties go down
10 tire Beach and every evening these
bring up 20 the city great bags and
baskets Of Chesapeake Beach era rs.
The dancing on the big pavilion, built
out OF the boardwalk and over the
water, is constant and delightful
feature Of the amusements. There Is
dancing every day and evening of the
season. Haley's Orchestra furnishing
the music. When II Is so hot in the
city as 70 be intOlerable. the Beach IS
swept bv cool breeZes and dancing Is
a real delight. Along the board walk
are many other attractions.
Tuesday the AnacOstia Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school picnic was
given at the Beach and added a thous-
and persons 10 the crowds usually
handled each day. The children had a
delightful time and their elders had an
equally enjoyable day. The weathtr
was perfect. the soft haze that covered
the water making the Grabbing and fish

were a number Of notable catches.

Adulterated Foods.

The last report of F.. w. Small, the
pure food commissioner, shows that ten
articles of food distributed by Mont
gomery Ward & Co. are illegal and
their sale in South Dakota is forbidden
The articles include jelly, beans, French
peas, Berkshire tomatoes, vanilla ex-
tract, Marischino cherries, evaporated
cream, MacLaren's Imperial cheese and
Goldfish. These articles of food are all
found to be adulterated and, in the re-
port of the pure food commissioner un-
der date of February 10, they are all put
upon the South Dakota blacklist
This is one of the catalogue houses
which has built up a big business in
South Dakota by underselling the mer
chants of the state. The firm issues an
immense catalogue, which is found on
the center tables of half the farm houses
in the state. There is more dust on the
family bible than there is on the cata-
logue of Montgomery Ward & Co., and
every year many thousands of dollars
are sent out of South Dakota to trade
with people who do not pay penny of
taxes in the state and who have no in.
terest in South Dakota except what they
get out of it.

FIRST Victory for Martin.

AT a meeting of the Republican Coun.
ty Central Committee of Fall River
county, held at Hot Springs Saturday
afternoon, with fourteen out OF seven
teen precincts of the county represented
the following resolution was enthusias
tically and unanimously adopted:
"ln view of the fact that Congressman
Martin has so well and faithfully repre-
sented South Dakota in the lower branch
of the federal congress bringing great
recognition to the state, as well as upon
himself and having done such magnifi-
cient service for the people of every por-
ton of the state, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Republican County
Central Committee of Fall River county,
South Dakota, in regular meeting assem-
bled, that we most cordially and heartily
endorse Hon. Y. w. Martin as our can
didate for U. S. Senator from South Da.
kota, and pledge Elm the earnest and
loyal support of Fall River county"
The three precincts not represented
are equally loyal to Mr.. Martin and are
in hearty sympathy with the sentiment
expressed by the resolution.

Vermillion Republican No friend of
Martin and his candidacy for U. S. sem
ator in this section need feel the least
alarm over the report that Mr.. Charles
j. Buell. of Rapid City is candidate for
congress. Mr.. Buell. is somewhat able
and good deal ambitious But he will
not be regarded with favor by republi-
cans in this part of the state in any
move he may make with view Of sup
planting the service Congressman Mar
tin can render South Dakota in the up
per branch of congress, Just because
there happens to be bit of business
rivalry between Rapid City and ether
Black Hills towns. We do not imagine
Mr.. Buell. will even secure the single
county of Pennington with its delega-
ton for his support in seriousness at the
state convention, but if he should cap
ture it, it would be the only one of the
six solid Hills counties, and probably
the only one of the fifty-four or more
counties in the state that would go into
the convention bearing the Buell. ban.
ner. Pennington will be in line with
her sister counties long before June 5.

adjoining the land donated to the sani-
tarium. | had held these interests for
many years. On Nov. 81, 1902, four
months after the permanent site, Capt.
Palmer purchased from myself an i as,
sociates an undivided one-fifth interest
in our lands. The tracts consisted of
various pieces title to which was in my
name and in the names of several other
persons interested with me. All the
other interests were decided to me as
trustee for business convenience, and |
issued declarations of trust to all persons
interested, including Capt Palmer. The
consideration for the purchase of the
one-fifth interest was $500 cash, which
Capt. Palmer paid me in two checks,
one of $500 and one of $1,000. Capt.
Palmer's purchase was made purely as
an investment because of his confidence
in the future of Hot Springs. The tran
saction occurred four months after the
selection Of the sanitarium site and had
absolutely nothing whatever to do with
the location of the sanitarium The
consideration paid was a fair value Of
the interest purchased, and / would be
very willing to sell another one fifth
interest in the same property to anyone
desiring to purchase it at the same price,
$1,000. The captain has frequently made
similar investments in western towns,
Sheridan, Wyo, being one of them that
now occurs to me.
THE article in the Keystone Record
er is scandalous assault upon the good
name of most honored soldier who
fought the battles Of the Civil War and
who has since spent more time and
money in promoting the well being of
the Civil War veterans than any other
person of my acquaintance. The pub
lished article has been inspired by men
of the meanest inclinations and lowest
purposes for improper use in the exin-
gencies of a political campaign. [ deep
