appointed his brother, L. e. Cassill,

Game Law Organization.

About thirty sportsmen represent
ing different parts OF the state, re-
sponded to the call for a meeting
held in Sioux Falls, Nov. 18th, to
draft a law to protect the game and
fish of the state, and at least one
hundred letters were received from
others who are interested, but unable
to be there. A great deal of conf
dence and enthusiasm was shown.
AS a result of this meeting, a per-
manent organization was formed,
which will be known as '"The South
Dakota Game and Fish Protection
Association"
The officers chosed were w. S.
Doty, President, Epiphany, S. d., O.
J.. Straw, Secretary and Treasurer,
Sioux Falls S. d.
A committee of fifteen was appoint
ed, representing different parts of the
state, to draft a game law to be
presented to the next legislature.
The chairman will call a meeting Of
this committee about the first of Dec
ember, at Sioux Falls, S. d., and you
and all others interested are invited
to council with them.
The S. d.. G. & +. p. Assn are
anxious for a large membership of
boosters all over the state. We have
no politics nor religion; we simply
wish to have proper game laws passed
to provide for wardens to see that
they are enforced.
All sportsmen who have been in
the field this year, realize the neces-
sity of some action being taken, and
that right soon.
Send 10 the names of your friends
who will come and boost with us. We
want them on the list.
Yours very truly,

Mrs. Moses Kaufman's plea in the
district court at Sioux Falls Monday
was mot guilty" Judge Aikens APP
pears for Mrs. Kaufman and will no
doubt ask for a continuance. The
conditions surrounding this case are
mysterious and tragic from any stand
point. That any sane person could
commit the brutal acts upon a poor
helpless girl seems beyond belief, yet
1t seems impossible that the girl
could have fallen In fits or otherwise
and produced the wounds found upon
the body OF the dead girl. It's a sad
case and a serious case.

A Surprise PARTY.

Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. O. Nicholson Of
Grand Valley, arranged a nice sur
prise on Victor Walquist, last Sun
day. Victor is renting the Frank
Sheldon farm and great was his sur

gentlemen drive up to his place. The
surprisers soon had full possession Of
the house with joy and fun prevail
ing. Refer Reierson got the ladies
organized and soon had refreshments
under discussion, after which Hans
Brynjulson modestly and eloquently
presented Mr.. WalQuist with a souve-
mir Of the occasion in the shape Of a

say that Mr.. Brynjulson made a fine
speech and that Refer Reierson as a

and all were delighted with the

Selection OF Seed Corn.

Prot. Holden Gives Some Good Ad
vice in Regard to the Selection o.
the Best Seed Corn.
Prof. Holden, the Iowa corn expert
says:
In selecting good seed corn observe

g. Has it producing power? 4. Has
it brains back of it-intelligent breed.
ing and selection? S. Has it honor
and pride in it-good cultivation

You cannot feed a pugnosed pug
and make a bulldog of it-nor can
you make a good, spirited. strong corr

Two hours a day for a few days in

Don't it pay, then. to spend a little
time to select seed corr and get good
corn?
Eight hundred good kernels in ear
of corn will make Ia on. corn.

Organizing the Legislature.

The successful politician is never
caught mapping. That is the rule now
being followed by the reformers in
the saddle Of the state. Consequent
ly Senator Gamble and Jim Elliot,
Mr.. Shobber and a score or o OF
the lesser lights met with Mr.. Craw-
ford In this city Thursday night and
laid their plans to organize the legis-
lature. The legislature Is not auto
matte, as Jim Elliott would say, and
unless it is properly organized we will
have trouble with members at Pierre
this winter. So the lines were laid
here Thursday night for the organiza-
tion of the next house. Alex Johnson
was In the city but we we're informed
that he was not at the meeting, but
as the Sioux Falls Press would say,
his presence here at this time has a
suspicious look. The members elect
will be told where to head in as they
arrive at Pierre. Jim Elliott, that
High Priest Of reform, and great
friend of the common people inc
enemy of the corporations will ar
range matters behind the scenes and
send out the printed slips to the
members who will do as they are bid
or incur the III will Of the machine.
Such is the wave of reform that Is
sweeping Over the state and of such
as these are it's diciples.-Huronite.
The above snarl comes from a man
in Huron named Longstaff, an editor
and a postmaster, and one OF the dirt
lest tools the machine gang has in
the state today. He sees the hand
writing and knows full well that men
OF his class will no longer sit in high
places and help skin the people. How
these machine tools do howl when hit
with honesty. They see nothing but
and graft in every public
gathering because they have lived so
long in a rotten machine atmosphere.
The state officers, men whom the
people elected to represent them, met
At Huron to consult with Governor
elect Crawford, and a few prominent
republicans interested in progressive
measures were present to
talk over needed legislation. These
men represented the people; the
crowd Longstaff would have liked to
see there would have been
made up of Kits, and Burkes and
and Alexanders and other
who dam the people and skin
,hem at every opportunity.
The fellows who have been riding
IN the backs OF the people SO long
nate to walk now, yet walking is good
enough for the men who surrendered
20 the gang that was running the
state, and like abject slaves continue
20 do their masters bidding.
Editor Longstaff knows that Alex
Johnson had no more to do with the
meeting than the old fell
ow up in the moon, yet he tries to
make it appear that Alex was on
land to meet the new republican Or
Well. what could one expect from a
nan who betrayed his home city?
The Crawfordites will meet when
nd where they please, the people
lected them as their representatives,
the machine tools may snarl all
hey please.

Banker Mills Will Go to Milbank.

G. E. Mills, president Of the Fair
view State bank, has been elected
cashier of the Farmers Bank Of Mil
bank, South Dakota, and for the
present his duties there will necessi-
tate his moving to Milbank some
time in January, 1907.
He will still retain his interest in
the Fairview State bank and give it his
personal attention by frequent visits.
The affairs Of the Fairview State
bank will continue under the manage
ment of G. v. Mills, the present cash
Ter and another banker Of years of
banking experience, who has been en-
gagged to assist him in the manage
ment, and who will move to Fairview
with his family some time in Deem
Der.
Mr.. Mills has for some time been a
stakeholder of the Farmers bank, a
state institution with capital and
surplus Of $4,000 and of
nearly 5000, 600. The capital of the
Fairview State bank has been in
creased from S., 900 to $1,000, and Mr..
Mills interests in the Farmers bank
will add greatly to the strength and
resources of the Fairview bank.
The policy Of the Fairview State
bank will in no wise be changed, and
patrons are assured of the same cour-
teous treatment and safe business
methods which assisted in making it
n of Lincoln county's strong bank
ing institutions.
Mr.. Mills has many friends in Can
ton who wish him great cce at
Milbank.

Two Powerful Forces.

Under the above head the Sioux
Falls Press has this to say concerning
the suit now up for trial between the
government and the oil trust:
The United States Of America VS..
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey and its seventy auxiliary cor
porations and John D.. Rockefeller.
Henry d. Rogers, Henry NJ. Flager,
John d. Archbold, Oliver Fl. Payne
and Charles M. Pratt is the title of
an action instituted in the federal
circuit court at st. Louis on Thurs
day.
The charge is combination and con
spiracy in restraint of trade in vio-
lation Of the Sherman antitrust law.
The plaintiff asks that the combina-
tion be declared unlawful and enjoin-
ed from entering into any contract in
further restraint of trade.
The suit is the result Of an inves-
tigation covering five or six months
and through that Investigation it was
ascertained that there is reasonable
ground for the belief that the defend
ant Is In violation Of the antitrust
law
1t now remains for judicial author
ity to say whether the defendant is or
is not a viOlator of the law.
For 36 years the Standard Oil COM
pany has been pursuing the course
that has finally brought it to the bar
Of justice. Little wonder that it has
defiled public sentiment and believed
itself to be immune from the opera
tion OF law.
1t has taken a Tarbell and a Law
son to arouse the powers of prosecu-
ton to the fighting pitch, to which
has been added the i~nsistence of a
executive.
This is the most interesting case
ever brought to trial. 1t will be OBJ
tainable talent.
On one side is a great government.
On the other side is the worlds most
stupendous combination Of wealth
and it believes itself to be greater
than the government.
