A FIGHTING MAYOR

In Elk Point, in the Panhandle Valley
of South Dakota, they have man by
the name of William Main, who is some
thing OF curiosity-for he, q prohibit
zionist, at least in theory, has been re-
elected mayor to enforce the law in a
wet town.
Main has resided in Union county
probably quarter Of a century, and the
people have sort Of got il intotheir heads
that he is all wool and yard wide.
mentally, not physically, for in person
he is rather dry and thin of form. The
legend of Diogenes, the old Greek walk
ing through the world with lighted
lantern in the daylight, is still fresh in
the minds of men. William Main is
not the only chunk of Gnmbo on the
banks of the oxbow slough at Elk Point:
there are other good and true people in
that burg. But when it comes to clvic
honesty, backed by the essential quali-
/ ties of grit, Main has most OF them eat
ing dust. He is the brand of hairpin
who can tella rascal in his own party ia
60 to hell, il the public good seems TO
warrant the emphasis.
We are endeavoring to fashion no
halos for his Jovian brow and have no
rumors of angel wings sprouting from
his shoulders, but way down in our
heart we try to be about half-honest our
self and when we behold fellow mortal
who dares to be SO, publicly and private
ly, we feel like lecting him to be deacon
in our great universal church, and
bringing up the rear with ieather-bed
for him to fall on when he can fight no
longer.
| You're all right. Bill make EN- toe
the mark; work, as you have for the
common good. and Wen pray that long
life crown your stirring days. Will

agreeable, young man, with fair ex-
perience in the printing business and a
thorough acquaintance in Woonsocket

ELECTRIC TRANsNiITAPHoNE.
Melody Carried From the First Floor
to the Roof.

At the Guernsey music store in the
Rem building on East Court street a
transmitaphone has been installed
and music is now furnished from the
roof for the benefit of that portion
of the town. The machine is the first
one of its kind ever brought to Pen
dleton and 1t has already attracted
much attention. In the music store
below records are played upon fine
big graphaphone which is connected
by electric wires with the transmitter
and horns on the room. Only two
horns are now in use, but any num-
her may be used with the machine
and they can be located in any part
of the city. However, the regular
phone wires cannot be used owing to
the fact that the current is too strong
for them.
New records for September have
also just been received at the music
store and are being opened today by
Manager Glove.
