NARROWED
ON A SANDBAR AND
WATERS RISING FAST

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 21.-Ma-r
rooned on q ndb in the nllddie OF
the Missouri river, with the swift How,
ing waters steadily rising and threaten
ing to engulf them, was the thrilling
experience of Colonel John Enlinke, one
of the proprietors OF the Cataract hotel
in this city, and William S. Doty, of
Epiphany, two of the best known men,
in this portion of the state, while hunt-
ing wild geese on the Missouri river.
With the hunting party were four
men in addition to the two mentioned.
Two OF the hunters were stationed on
one sandbar, two on another. while
Colonel Emmke and Doty, with a farm
er lad, who acted as boatman for them,
were sent TO a third bar further down
the river.
Emmke and Doty shot a couple of
geese which fell into the river some
little distance away from the bar and
the farmer lad was sent with the boat
to secure them. Doty and Emmke were
devottng their entire attention to the
flight of other focks OF wild geese and
paid no further attention to the farm
er boy. Finally when it was well to-
ward night they looked about for the
farmer lad. He was nowhere in sight
They were becoming numbed with the
cold, and, to their great alarm, also
discovered that the water was rising
ION the little sandbar making their posi-
tion decidedly perilous, as we'll as
nightly uncomfortable.
The other four members of tie party,
before the afternoon was well advanced
had returned to shore and were costly
seated about the supper table in the
chamberlain hotel when the farmer lad
who had charge of Doty and Emmke'S
boat, rushed into the dining room. He
was crying and in a half frozen con-
dition. Greatly alarmed at the pos
isibility that he brought bad news OF
.Emmke and Doty, the other -four hunt
ers surrounded him and piled him with
questions rs to what had become OF
their two companions. The boy in
formed them Of his starting after two
geese shot early in the afternoon by
Doty and Emmke, and OF his boat be-
ing carried by drifting ice and the
wind a distance of three miles down
the river before he could reach shore.
The lad stated that he spent some
time yainly endeavoring to get the boat
back. The four hunters, with the boy,
FASTENED to the river. 1t was growing
dusk, but they could dimly discern
Doty and Emmke wildly running up
and down the few feet Of sandbar
which yet remained above the surface
of the river. The marooned hunters
had tied n handkerchief to a long stick,
which they waved in the air In the
hope OF attracting attention.
1t was after dark before the be-
numbed Eunters could be got ashore.

Is FOR L%AFOLLETTE
FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Pierre, S. D., Mech Elm his speech
introducing Senator LaFollette, WHO
llectured here to a large audience, John
IL. Erickson, private secretary TO Gov
,ernor Crawford, declared himself for
La Toilette as second choice for presi-
dent. Mr.. Erickson spoke as follows;
1T is with great pleasure / nave the
honor, on behalf OF the good people OK
Pierre, 10 present to you the distin-
guished gentleman who is to speak on
this occasion. To know him as well
as I do is to admire and 10y him FOR
what he is personally n for what ne
has already done and In the future
will be able to accomplish In the cause
of good government In this l
have three times voted for him for gov
ernor of wisconsin, and If his only peer
among American statesmen, u Illus
trious chief executive at Washington,
should persist in his refusal to serve
the American people in his present ca
pacity, after the expiration of his pres
ent term, I should be delighted TO cast
hny vote for him ice more.
Those of you who are not hostile TO
the public welfare will agree with me,
before you leave here tonight, that the
speaker OF the evening is a truly great
and progressive statesman, thoroughly
hnd disinterestedly devoted to the great
cause of representative government for
which he today is the ablest and most
devobted champion. For the last thirty
years there has been a manifest scarcity
bf such great characters in our Amer
bcan public life. Today the successful
private individual, connected with our
trusts and public service corporations,
is. I'm the minds OF some people. the
,only great American and his front
and rear stairways are crowded with
strutting politicians and officeholders
seeking his avors. In this crowd, how
hver, you will not be able to find the
great progressive statesman, Hon.
Robert M. LaFollette, United States
senator from wisconsin"

ROLL OF DISHONOR
MAY NOT Be LARGE
Bishop Hare Hopes Referen.
dunn Cannot Be invoked on
New Divorce Law.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. March 27.-Bishop
Hare calls the petition to invoke the
referendum In the matter of the newly
enacted divorce law in this state. a
roll of d%ishonor."
Bishop Hare, head OF the Episcopal
church in South Dakota, and the one
man to keep up u~nrelenting warfare
on the easy divorce, chooses to be-
lieve that little will come Of the eff
fort to postpone the operation of the
new statute for two years until a pop
ular vote can be taken. Every man
who signs the petition must give his
address, &c be filed with the secretary
of state. The document would be pub
lie. The bishop questions whether the
number OF men is large who would like.
to rave themselves thus blaZoned be-
fore their families and the public at
large, and would be willing their
names should go down to posterity, in
the history of the state, on this roll OF
Ilshonor.
If Not Best, Then Good.
The churchman says, regarding the
new law, and it's being a step in re-
form:
First, those with whom l acted,
agreed before the legislature met that,
If we could not get the best we would
AXE the good, and that the measure
of reform which would commend the
support of good people, generally,
would be better than a more far
going measure which would gain only
a small majority vote.
Second, / do not consider the new
law q distinct reform MEASURE; for
one whole years residence before the
suit fer divorce can be begun is better
than six months: publicity in proceed
ings is better than secrecy, and neces-
sity OF bringing suit in the county in
which the divorce seeking immigrant
lives, is better than q sui carried on
in some far distant and almost UNI
heard of county. Each of these three
changes is a distinct moral gain"
