DETECTIVE IN JOCKEYS DRESSING ROOM
were not satisfied with the explana-
tions forthcoming from the owners
that 1t was merely a matter of poor
Judgment, and Investigations We're set
on foot which convinced the officials
that there was an Interior motive be-
hind many defeats of the best horses.
No man is now permitted to converse
with the boys Oh any subject when
once the rider is inside the grounds of
the race courses. The boys under en-
gagement to ride must report at 1850
p. m. every horse that they have got to
mount on during the afternoon. If
they are to ride in the six races they
will not be permitted to leave the
jockey room or the Enclosure of the
scales at any period except to 70 into
the paddock TO mount their horses.
This rule is imperative and SO stril-
gent that NJ relative, not even a father
or mother, will be permitted to talk to
a rider. Many of the jockeys have
as managers their fathers or brothers.
1t is the duty of their relatives to make
the engagements for the boys, but nee
the arrangements are completed nei-
Their fathers nor brothers will be al
lowed to talk with them. 4s
If any owner is in quest of a jockey
and he has not already secured him
prior to the race he may, by looking
over a list of names which arc con
spicuously posted near the scales,
make a selection of a desirable rider.
If he should select one and that boy
has no mount III the particular race
he may on application to the clerk of
the scales tell his quest and engage
the boy to ride his horse.
The jockeys are under supervision
from the time they enter the grounds
until they leave. There is a corps
of Plnkerton detectives in plain clothes
always lowering around the executive
buildings, in which are located the
weighing and the jockeys dressing
rooms. Besides these special police
men, there are two other officers who
are always on hand looking after
the riders. These are uniformed police
men. One is stationed in the Jockeys
dressing rooms and the other at the
scales. They never let a rider out of
their sight and always check him and
any stranger from conversing together.
This supervision of the police over
the jockeys Is not confined merely to

Of two figures could be seen struggling

TRAVELLING MEN AND
RETAILERS COMBINE
South Dakota Men Launch q
Strong Movement at
Aberdeen Meeting.
MUTUAL BENEFIT PLAN
The Purpose Of the Organization Is to
Wage Campaign Against Evils A.
f~ectins Both Travellers end
Retailers.

Aberdeen, S. D., June GA new and
powerful organization has been formed
as the result of n conference held in
this city during the convention of the
South Dakota Travelling Mems associ-
alton between representatives Of retail
associations and q committee of tray
cling men.
1t is called the Allied Mercantile Or
ganization and is composed of one del
egate from each of the following or
CARNATIONS: South Dakota Travelling
Mems association, Retail Mercantile
Hardware Dealers association, South
Dakota Pharmaceutical association,
South Dakota Retail Hardware Deal
ers' association and the South Dakota
jewellers association.
The purpose of the organization is to
wage a campaign against evils affect
ing both the travellers and retailers.
The retailers will aid the travelling men
for a 2-cent railroad rate and the bill
for hotel Improvements affecting fire
protection and sanitation. The retail
ers in turn seek assistance for better
punishment n pure food laws and
enforcement of the present peddler law.
Meetings will be held annually in the
same place where travelling men held
their convention, and in the meantime
the executive committee viii have
charge of the campaign. The officers
are: L. S. Tyler, Sioux Falls, president;
l.. Y. Snyder, Salem. secretary; George
Sabin, Redfield, treasurer.
SeVera! resolutions of an important
nature were adopted by the Travelling
Mems association, among others being
the following: IndOrsing a fiat rate
2-cent mileage book of 5000 miles;
urging issue of interchangeable excess
baggage book on all roads; demanding
that all hotels be equipped with fire
escapes and proper sanitation; indors-
ing the Taylor amendment to the ma
tional bankruptcy law; indorsing the
Hepburn pure God bill.
\ The most important resolution was
one pledging support to the retailers in
their fight against the enactment OF
laws permitting the consolidation Of
third and fourth class mail matter and
a post check currency scheme, on the
ground that such laws will result in
the Capitalization of population and the
lrreparable injury to small towns and
villages by driving away business en-
terpriSes n merchants and wrecking
the agricultural communities by de-
stroying the home markets.
The resolution classes such legisla-
ton as highly pernicious, as the only
benefit would be derived by the so
called mail order business houses and
their publications. Every member is
pledged to make a personal fight
against his legislation.
The new officers are: President, Jo-
seph Woods; vice president, j. M. Jel-
ly; secretary, C. D.. Towsley; treasurer,
NJ. Jacqueman. The 1907 convention
will be held at Mitchell.

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
Such Is the Report Of the South Da-
kota Weather Man.

kota Weather Man.
Huron, S. D., June 1.-The official
weather crop bulletin for the last
week IS as follows:
The weather during the week was
unusually cloudy, damp and rainy for
the time in the season. Tuesday n
Sunday were generally dry days, but
rainy weather prevailed during the re-
mainder of the week, with thunder
storms part Of the time. The precipi-
tation averaged considerably above the
normal. In all districts the soil is now
amply moist, and in some parts it is
too wet. In the northern portion Of
the state, where considerable low land
is reported covered with water, the
rainfall was heavy generally, and in
several counties in that section a lit
tie snow fell on Saturday.
The temperature averaged above the
normal. The fore part Of the week was
warm, out the latter part was cool. On
Thursday, the warmest day, the max
imum temperature ranged from &c to
50 degrees.
Taken as a whole, the temperature
conditions were for the most part IA
vorable for growth, and except in the
northern counties, where the excessive
precipitation flooded low land, the rain
fall Of the week was welcome and very
beneficial, though in all districts out
door work was to some extent retarded
by the wet weather. Fair and sun
shiny eathe would now be welcome
and very beneficial.
