Huronite said that the priest who
was mixed up was hurt by a stray
blow from a revolver.
The Huronite made the above
statements three DAYS after the affair
happened and it had plenty Of time
to learn the straight facts in the
case, and then it attempts to gloss
over the affair to relieve the officers
Of that county from an embarrassing
situation in letting the nig9ers 20.
When it is known to be a fact that
the niger actually pulled his gun on
the priest and shot him with the
deliberate ..atteDpt to kill him, and
that be had the passengers on the
the train terrorized and afraid to
leave the car and were forced to hide
behind the seats for protection, per-
haps the Huronite will not regard
the affair as a joke. People generally
condemn the Beadle county officials
for letting the men 20 without hold
ing at least the fellow that did all
the shooting.

MORRIS DESERTED HIS WIFE
Kissed Her Goodbye One Evening at
Cherokee Home and Has
Never Returned.
Never Returned

a special telegram from Cherokee,
Iowa, to the Sioux City Journal Of
Thursday gives the incidents Of the
desertiou Of n. 81. Morris of his
wife at the former place. Norris is
the person charged with adultery and
lived on the south side with Miss
Wbittenore, who died as the result
Of being burned two weeks ago The
Journal special has the following
concerning the departure of Morris
from his hom.:
Mrs. b. 81. Morris, whose husband
was recently arrested at Mitchell, S.
D., on the charge of adultery, is
living In this city and employed at
the Cherokee house. She and Morris
were married five years the 18th of
May at Schuyler, Neb. They were
both residents Of Fremont, Neb.
They came to Cherokee last June
and boarded at the hotel where Mrs.
Morris is now working. Her hus-
band obtained employment as brake
man on the Onawa branch of the
Central and they lived together hap
PLY until she discovered that Mr..
Morris was corresponding with Miss
Whittemore. At that time he prom
Used to give the girl up and have
nothing more To do with her. One
evening during the month Of August
Morris kissed his wife and said that
he was going up town, but would be
back soon, but he failed to return
and she has never seen him since.
Later she received a letter from
him to the effect that he had con-
cluded that they could not live to
gether happily and asked her to pro-
cure a divorce, saying that it would
be impossible for him to do so as she
had always been a true wife to him.
She refused to sue for a divorce In
the hope that Morris would return
to her.
On Sunday evening she received a
telegram from him asking her to
come to Mitchell and telling her
that a ticket would be at the depot
for her. Nothing was said about bis
trouble aud the first intimation
that she had of his wrong doing was
obtained from the news dispatches.
She is undecided whether to 60 tu
Mitchell or not, but says she still
loves her errinR husband. She is a
nice appearing woman about 26 years
Of age. If called into court she says
she will tell che truth and produce
her marriage certificate.

The lawyer is tempted, perhaps,
more than any other professional
man; criminals high and low are
constantly seeking his services and

was listened to by over a hundred
young men, and he impressed them

The Pierre Free Press is getting
worried about the suggestions that
are coming from all parts of the
state that has building material to

the capitol. The Free Press says:
Sioux Falls wants the capitol built

wants it made of che cement pro.

Hills asks that It be constructed of
stone found in that section. Other
Interests demand that the new build

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

The people, the plain people. of
this state have great reason to be
thankful for the many and bonntiful
blessings which they have enjoyed
during the past year.
In all probability the state has
never been freer from sickness and
disease, and of..all our blessings none
surpasses..that OF good .health. An
other great blessing which..our people
have enjoyed is that they have had
all the work they.could. possibly do.
The reward has been of the fullest
measure and the result is that our
homes, the humLlest as well as the
richest, are provided With all the
necessaries and many OF the comforts
OF life There is a something about
the completeness Of the South Da-
kota home that, strong as the word
IS. does not fully convey an adequate
idea of the comfort and hospitality
found therein. Doubtless there are
exceptions, and where they exist it
is my earnest wish that friends and
neighbors come to the rescue to the
end that all may enjoy Thanksgiving
Day. Toward the unfortunate one
let our motto be, sit is more blessed
to give than to receive"
The multitude of blessings which
we are enjoying this year ought to
make US better givers to worthy, de-
serving persons and causes and aid
us in being better and truer citizens.
To Him who sends the rain upon
the just and the unjust, let us give
thanks in u hearts. in our acts,
In our homes, 10 the schools, ION
Wednesday afternoon) and in the
churches throughout the common
wealth. In a word, let us remember
that the year just closing has been
the fattest in the history OF the
state, especially so for the farmer
and all those who toll, and it occurs
to me that we ought to be the best
and most truly thankful people in
all this great and good round world.
I believe we are.
Therefore, agreeable to the Presi-
DENTS proclamation, L, Samuel H.
Eirod, Governor Ut the State of
South Dakota, do hereby designate
Thursday, the Goth Gay Of November,
1906, Thanksgiving Day.
Done at the Capitol in the City Of
Pierre, this fourteenth day of
November, In the year Of our Loru,
nineteen hundred siA.

she herself was a married woman
and how sad it would make her feel
for her husband to do the same
thing. This letter would indicate
that Mrs. Adams or Whittemore bad
once before ran away with Morris
and that the time they came to
Mitrchell in August was her second
experience at least.
1t is understood that Mr.. and Mrs.
Whittemore were not aware of this

whether she merely wrote that letter

CORN GROWERS MEET HERE
Set for the Big Meeting o.
Corn Growers in Mitchell on
Dec. ls, 10, 30.

The South Dakota Corn Growers
and corn show at Mitchell on
December is, 10 and 20. We have
arranged for the services Of Prof. a.
W. Hume, of the Illinois College of
Agriculture, assisted by Prof. Cole,
of the South Dakota College os .Agri-
culture, to conduct during the 18th
and 10Th a corr school for farmers.
Every farmer attendil g, who d sires
so to do, will be a member If the
class, and the time will be devoted
to studying types and kinds OF corn
most profitable to be raised in this
state, to the selection, care ana test
ing of the seed, and to the prepara-
tion OF the seed bed and cultivation
of the crop. These corn schools are
held very extensively in Iowa.
Nebraska, and in Illinois, and have
been a great assistance in bringing
corr to the front in those states.
This instruction will be free to all
farmers who will attend and we Hope
for a large attendance during the
entire meeting.
Owing to the fact that we we're
able to procure the services of Prof.
Hume. [ have assumed the %reSpoLsi-
bility Of extending the length of the
meeting Que day. Remember the
dates 18th. 10th, and goth of
December. Mr.. 81. C. Warner, of
Forestburg, South Dakota, will
furnish entry blanks for all who wish
to make entries of corn. Drop him
a line and be will send you a blank.
Owing to the fact that all entries
will have to be scored, it is necessary
that the corr should be in the hands
OF the committee in time that the
scoring may all be done before the
opening of the meeting. For this
reason the committee has determined
that all corn to be shown or to COM
pete for prizes, must be in the hands
Of the secretary at Mitchell by Fri
day night, December IA. Therefore
it will be necessary for persons de-
string to enter corn to make their
selections and express the corn to
Mr. b. C. Warner, Mitchell, S. D.,
so it will reach there by Friday even
ing, Dec. IA, pre-raying the express
which will not be in excess of %
cents. Ten ears OF corn are required
i'm each class. MI. Warner will send
you with the entry blanks, a list OF
the premiums, rules for governing
the contest, and a score card for
corn, which will assist you in maxi
ing your selections
We hope every county in South
Dakota will be represented by at
least ten entries Of corn in this
contest. The business men Of the
state are requested to see that their
respective counties are we'll epre-
sented in this contest, and also in
the meeting. There will also be a
special class in corn, stock Judging,
and poultry, under the auspices of
the Agricultural College, Of Brook
ings, commencing January 2, and
continuing for two weeks. This is
a new and very c~ommendable feature
Of work at our agricultural college,
and we hope as many farmers and
farmers sons will take advantage
Of it as can possibly do so.
