Conflicts with Constitution.

Judge Brunback of the circuit court at
Kansas City, has handed down deci-
sion that the primary law conflicts with
the constitution Of the United States.
The point of conflict which he desig-
mates is the article prohibiting the par
ticpation in primary Of a person who
did not vote with the party at the pre-
cedIng election The judge holds the
opinion that the ballot is sacred under
the constitution, and no political party
has the right to investigate and learn
how any man voted at past election.
Practically the same opinion was given
a few months ago by the attorney gen
eral Of South Dakota The same phase
of the primary law has been discussed
in the recent primary contest in Illinois,
and some Of the legal authorities in that
state have given opinion substantially
agreeing with the decision now made
by the Kansas court VI the opinion Of
Judge Brumback is sustained by the SUI
preme court it will place several states
that are now working under primary
laws in an embarrassing position. I'm
til the question has been thoroughly re-
viewed it is probable that the progress
of the primary movement Inay receive a
check. Sioux City journal.

Had to ADOPT his own Children.

In county court on August 25th, an
order was made for the adoption Of Mat
tie May and Charles Walter Reder to r.
b. Candee of Glendive, Montana.
About ten years ago Charles and Alice
o. Reder adopted Matte May and Chas.
Walter Candee, who at that time as.
sumed the name of Reder since which
time the children have been provided
with good home. Mr.. Candee is the
lawful father Of the aforesaid min.
or children and since their adoption by
Mr. and Mrs. Reder has accumulated
considerable property at or near Glen
dive, and is now in condition to furnish
his children with n good and suitable
home, but he found it necessary TO APP
ply to the county court and adopt his
own children in regular process of law.
Mr.. Candee informed CHRONICLE re-
porter that he is well pleased with the
manner in which his children have
been cared for, and appears more than
gratifed to receive his children back
again after so many years of separation,
and while the foster parents, Charles
and Alice Q. Reder, greatly regretted to
give their adopted children up they are
we'll pleased to see the family reunite.

there has been some objections to one
OF the teachers but it is easy to criticise
Regardless Of the wishes Of the people
we have such a force as the board of
education thought wise TO employ, and
we are pleased to say there is no ques.
ton Of their educational qualifications
for the places they will occupy Il is
impossible TO please all in community
II is the duty of every good citizen to
give the school their best support and
encouragement. We hope less friction
will result the coming year than unfor-
tunately took place last year. There is
no question but what our schools will
give all who desire TO learn an oppor.
tUnity to make reasonable progress. 1t
may not be as pleasant for a student to
study or recite before teacher they
dislike as one they like but if the will is
present one can learn Just the same.
For child to quit school because of
dislike for teacher is extremely un-
wise. 1t is real learning you want or
need and not agreeable associations, in

We advise every boy and girl who has
the opportunity, to attend our schools

Greatest Ball Game IN the World and
Then Some

Greatest Ball Game IN the World and
Then Some.
Mr.. Eugene Courtney, manager and
captain Of the Custer Base Ball Team,
after great expense and months Of work
has at last prevailed on the management
of the famous universal champions, win.
ners Of the pennant on the planet Jupi-
ter last year to appear before the worthy
fans ofthis vicinity with an aggregation
OF players such as this world has never
seen, in fact, it is understood that this is
the first appearancs-of'he "Chumps" on
this earth, having confined their visits
20 Saturn, Venus and Mars although
Venus has attracted these worthy ball
tossers and it was only the great diplom.
acy displayed by Manager Courtney that
prevailed.
AS the "Chumpa' have always been
indulgent to the lady patrons of the
game they will on this occasion give
away as souvenirs beautiful gold watch
es with the monogram ofowner thereon.
OF course if any citizen has lost watch
in the past few weeks they are request
ed by the management to come and pick
over the lot so that theirs may not 90
into other hands and let it be under.
stood that the "Chumps" will not have
watches without monograms SO that it
will!be quite simple to discover yours.
The "Chumps" will arrive in air ships
with their large delegation of rooters
direct from Jupiter, Sunday morning
and as they will need quite a large
amount of space to make a safe landing
it is requested of the worthy citizens OF
Custer that they vacate the streets dur
ing the a. m.
For the benefit of those who have
never visited the planet Jupiter it may
be interesting to mention that the word
Chumps is a variation for the English
word Champions and although it may
sound odd to us it is indeed one of the
grandest words in the Jupiter vocabu
larry, therefore as they say on the planet
Jupiter, "let us away to the game and
be Chumps."
During the game which will be called
promptly at $50 refreshments will be
served free Of charge. Joseph Guertin
manager of the Chumps will proceed his
team TO this city arriving in his private
airship Saturday afternoon.
To show your true color and your re
spect for Manager Courtney in providing
such an elaborate affair for your amuse
ment it is not necessary To mention tha
you are all invited for we feel sure to see
you there.

All but two clauses Of the famous Hep
burn rate bill over which there was such
a bitter fight in congress, are now in
effect. The clause affecting transporta.
ton is not effective until January lst
next. In consequence ofthe restrictions
placed upon the railroads by the bill,
everything has been keyed up to the
new standard. The Black Hills Car
Service association is prepared, says the
Pioneer-Times to enforce the letter of
the law upon merchants and mining
companies alike, and henceforth every
company retaining car after the pre-
scribed limit must pay demurage rates.
On account of the varying trade service
in the Black Hills Manager Ryan was
able to secure the concession of "a hours
time for orders as to the destination ola
car of coal that is received in a town.
This privilege will be appreciated even
down to Edgemont. Besides the "A
hours for orders, any one receiving car
is allowed 4S hours to unload without
paying demurage. The "a hour privi-
lege only applies to coal. Manager
RYAN stated that although there are
certain seasons when a car shortage can
not be prevented, this inconvenience
will be minimized by the new rules OF
the association which 90 into effect to.

Since Senator Hanley is not to be a
candidate for reelection, n. S. Tubbs
has been rather agreed on by the Custer
county delegates as his successor. This
leaves the nomination for the lower
house, to which it was expected Mr.
Tubbs would be returned, to be filled
by new man. Mr.. A. j. Jones of this
city is being talked of as a candidate.
With Tubbs and Jones Custer county
would have no occasion to apologize for
