GUARDS MAY NOT GO -
South Dakotans May Not Participate in
Maneuvers at Fort Riley. .~>..

WATERFOWL, S. D.--Adjutant General O. H.
Englesby of this city left today for Washington,
D. c.. on business in connection with the South
Dakota National Guard and its participation in
the general arm maneuvers at Fort Riley, Kan,
this fall. Saturday. he received word that the
war department had ruled that the South
Dakota troops could not go into the regular army
camp because they are insuficiently equipped.
Some time ago he received word that the guard
would be sent to Fort Riley, and receiving such
information he abandoned all plans for the
annual encampment in this city, beginning on
July 6. .'.t
are perfectly equipped with the execution Of
shelter tents which can be easily purchased.
three regiments, while it has only one in com
mission. In the face Of these facts he does
not see why the department has denied the state
the right to participate in the maneuvers.
While at Washington he further expects to
show the department that the state is entitled
to receive its snare of the national appropria-
ton for the maintenance of the militia in cash.
Last year the cash sent. but this year
the department sent word that the apporti onment
would be sent. AS the state now has more
equipment than it needs this mistake will be
strafghtened out in Washington If possible.
Nothing definite about the annual encamp-
ment will be known until the adjutant generals
return.

A Black List.

One plan which. has met with general ap-

of manufacturers who furnish cataog houses,

accordingly and support the manufacturer who
is protecting them and their interests.
The number of state associations is steadily
increasing and before the year is out doubt
every state in the union will be organized for
mutual protection. The list of retail furniture
dealers associa lions now includes Indiana, Iowa,

Crookston Mimi, May 2s.-Mayor Chesterman
placed lid on this city yesterday and for
the first time the metropolis of the Red river
valley enjoyed freedom from the Sunday saloon.
The practice has been for the saloons to have
their front doors closed, but little attention has
been paid to side doors by the police. The
order went cut yesterday, however, that all
doors were to be closed, blinds pulled back and
in the evening light was to be left burning In
each saloon so that the police could be sure
that ''booze'' was not being dispensed in the
dark.
Z AS a general rule the saloonnaen obeyedt the
order Of the mayor. but a few tried to evadc
it. They warned by the police that II they
were caught again they would have to explain
their disobedience in ecourt. It is not known
whether Mayor Chesterman intends to enforce
the Sunday closing laws to the letter from" no"
on. 1t is rumored, however, that he simply
tried the reform experiment, but there
ia no doubt that strong pressure will be brought
to bear upon him by the reform element to
make the permanent. 4: -.
It is said, on the ether hand, that the BUSH
ness interests will not take kindly to- the reform.
Crookston is a Sunday mecca for many travel
| ing men who stop here on account OF Its cen
| trail location to the vast trade territory which
they cover, and many have their country Gus
| toners visit them on Sunday. Crookston has
| appealed to them because they were allowed the
same privileges that they were accustomed to
| in the large home cities.
Several saloons were touched up Saturday eve
| ming by three sleek individuals. They visited
the saloons, had several drinks and then ten
dered in payment $40 bill. The bill was &C
copied by the saloonkeeper and the proper
amount Of change handed over. Owing to the
| Saturday evening rush the bills were not exam
ined and it was not until the proprietors of the
places were making up their cash for the day
that 1t was discovered that they have been clev
| erly victimized. Upon examination the bill
turned out to be issues Of the State Bank O.
Georgia, and bore the date Of several year
before the war. The matter was reported to tn,
police and thoro search of the city was made
but no suspect could be found.

Not only the furniture and grocery lines, but
the hardware lines as well, are bearing down

have been unable to buy direct from the manu-
facturers, they have bought thru small county

largest Of this year, and that the 605-footers
of the Weston Steamship company proposed for
next year would be the largest on the lakes
The steamer will be twenty-five feet longer
than the ocean steamers Campania and Lucania
of the Cunard line. and will be nearly 100 feet
longer than the steamers St. Paul and st. Louis

will be Of greater tonnage than the famous

that the steamer will be constructed at

Sioux City, Iowa, May 2s.-saturday, ex-
pected, was another Perkins day in the Iowa
held in thirteen counties. and 223 delegates were
CLASSIFIED as result. Giving Delaware county,
which was still in doubt today, to Cunlmins, the
net result is that Perkins secures ia delegates
and Cummins 30. Five years ago these counties
gave Cummins 81 and his opponents 1865. The
result in these counties has cheered the Perkins
supporters immensely, but thei Cummins men
profess to be in no wise discouraged. They
assert they expected about what happened.
and produce figures to show that Cummins can
not possibly be defeated.
Up to date sixty mine counties have acted.
They have given Cumn1ins >592 delegates, Per
kins al. Rathbun' (whose support will almost
entirely go to Perkins) 80, and 40 are contested.
In 1901 these same sixty-nine counties gave
Cummins 5ss1a votes and his opponents 5S7 u.
Thus, giving Perkins the Rathbun and contested
votes, he has to date $50 to 592 for Cummins,
showing Cummins to be in better shape thus far
than he was five years ago. But If Cummtns
can control the convention without the contested
delegates, at least twenty six of these will be
given him. making his vote e1S to 554 for
Perkins. 49, = I'd. 49,"

least in Buchanan, Blackhawk, Audubon, Adair,

ties will begin to act and then it will soon be
possible to announce the outcome. The result
