Of Mr. Chas. Dougherty, Of Holden
twp. Mr. Dougherty has been in
failing health for some time. Two
weeks ago he held a sale at which
he disposed of a large part of his
farming equipment. 1t is thought
that worry in connection with his
sale precipitated the attack of fever
which resulted in his death. The
funeral service was held Sunday af-
ternoon from the Congregational
church, conducted by Rev. Squire as
sisted by Rev. Butterfield, of Miller,
who preached am eloquent and
thoughtful sermon. Mr. Dougherty
was followed to his grave by host
of friends who mourn his loss and
extend to Mrs Dougherty and her
family their heartfelt sympathy.
Charles L. Dougherty was born in
Noble county, Ohio, Jane /, 1862.
When FIVE years old he moved with
his parents to Iowa. At the age of
"a ne came to Hand county. He was
married Jan 20, 1890, to Emma A,
Bowles. The wife and five children
mourn his loss.

KITTREDGE SAYS
TAFT is THEMAN
Senator From South Dakota
Makes Significant Statement

Senator A. B. Kittredge, of South
Dakota, in Washington interview,
declared for Secretary Taft, for the
republican nominee for President.
1t is probable that there is more
significance in this declaration than
has evidently been accorded it by
political writers.
In the first place Senator Kilt
redge's title of "'The Sphinx" is
well earned. He is not in love with
the music,of his own voice; he does
not handy words over anything; he
is not given to taking long shots at
possible political events. In other
words he would be the last man to
come out publicly and take q stand
for Secretary Taft, without care
full study Of the situation, and a
knowledge that other forces Of con-
siderable extent were with him.
Senator Kittredge may have sue
ceeded, to, some extent, to leader
ship of the Hanna forces in the re-
publican party. He was Hanna's
trusted lieutenant upon the Panama
canal committee Of the senate, and
has now become its chairman and
recognized head. 1t is q Well-known
fact among politicians that Kit
redge was one of Hanna's close
friends and political associates.
Who succeeded to the Hanna leader
ship, if not Kittredge? While there
would be some disintegration at the
death Of the Ohio Senator, yet many
Of the able men then working to-
gether would naturally continue
more or less Of an organization, be
more or less in touch with each
other for future union.
And do not surrounding conditions
suggest that President Roosevelt pre-
fers Taft? He has no use for Sen
ator Foraker, of Ohio, and Taft is
the one possible man to take the
Buckeye state away from Foraker.
And again, if Roosevelt is not to
practically retire from the lime

Mrs j. p. Dill, the unfortunate
lady who was burnt by kerosene
last week at her home in Harrison
twp, died Wednesday. She made a
heroic effort for life, but her injuries
were too great to be overcome.
She was fully resigned and prepared
for her departure. She was born at
Delta, Iowa, 1871, where she was a
teacher in the public schools. She
was married to John p. Dill in 1897,
and moved to Harrison twp, Hand
Co. in 1898, where she was well
known and highly appreciated. She
leaves husband and five children to
mourn her loss. Funeral services
were conducted at the M. Z. church
Orient Friday, by Rev. Davis, also
by ladies of the Degree of Honor,
and attended by a large number OF
sympathizing friends and neighbors,
to whom Mr. Dill and family return
sincere thanks. The remains were
taken to Brockton, N. Y. for burial.

Hughes, Root, or any man from his
own state of New York placed in the
White House? Possibly, under one
condition, viz That the man select
ed be a man that Roosevelt could
control, and Roosevelt himself be
sent to the Senate from New York.
With Roosevelt in the Senate and
a Roosevelt man as President, the
Senator from New York" would be
stronger, if possible, than he is today
as President Of the United States.
The statement given out by Sena-
tor Kittredge, upon the eve of a
Panama canal tour with Secretary
Taft and party may be "a tip from
the throne. 4" At any rate, those
who know Kittredge, are sure that
it was no random guess.

rush for land at the present time has
ever before been seen in this section
of the northwest. Thare are no less
than five hundred land seekers in
Chamberlain every night, and all
public places are taxed to their ut
most capacity to provide accomoda-
tons for the crowd. The movement
of settlers into this section is certain
~ immense, and the large proper
ton bringing their personal and
farm effects With them indicatestha
the rush is of the kind that will add
permanent benefit to the country.

BOY DISAPPEARS
FROM FARM HOME
Was Hunting About a Lake i'm
Beadie County

Beadle county papers report the
disappearance of young William
Cloeter, aged " years, who lived
in southern Beadle county. On Sun
day March %, the boy left home in
the morning and not returning for
dinner, fear was entertained by his
parents that an accident had befallen
him. Mr. Cloeter Immediately set
out in search Of the boy. On arriv-
ing at the lake he found the boat
floating around which the boy had
always kept tied when not in use.
On examination he found the boy
gun, a % calibre rifle in the boat and
also discovered one end had been
pushed out as if some one had struck
it with their feet. All indications
lead to the belief that he has drown
ed, but no trace Of the body has been
found. The lake is known as Nor
wegian Lake and has been thorough
ly dragged and dynamite used with
no results, and up to the present
time the mystery remains unsolved.

Closing Gap

ern will not replace their temporary
bridge at this place. They have
practically all the material they need
to complete the work on this end of
the extention on the west side of the
river, and see no reason why they
should go to the expense of again
putting in the structure. The ma
terial needed, which is not located
on the west side will be crossed on
barges. The grading work between
here and Rapid City is practically
completed, and the bridge work is
being rushed right along. 1t is now
expected that the road will be COM
pleted as far as Philip by some time
in May, and that will end the con-
struction work from this end of the
line. The effort now is to have the
road completed through to the Black
Hills by the first of July, and that
can be done unless heavy rains inter-
fere with the work. The permanent
bridge at this city will be ready by
the middle of August with the work
goingunder ordinary conditions, and
by the first Of September through
trains to the Black Hills can be OPP
Grated, with no bad luck" inter-

LILIES HIGH AND POPULAR
Easter Flowers Are in Great Demand

Normal.

The approach of Easter is emphasized by
the quantities and and numberless variety
of cut flowers and plants now on display

most conspicuous place is the tall white
waxen lily. Many Of these plants are Inn
ported but the majority of them are grown
at the local green houses and they are on
a par II not suggestion Of eclipsing in
beauty and size, those that have been sent
in.
Omaha florists report that the Easter
lily demand is large this season. exceeding
that of last While they have been able
to MI all of their orders, this special variety
of flowers Is somewhat scarce. One notice
able feature, though, are the Easter prices
prevalent on all of these floral beauties.
The prices are away up.
The prevailing custom OF all the churches
in decorating the affairs with white flowers
is in favor, and this tends to increase the
demand for the white beauties So great
Is the demand for flowers that ministers
IN several OF the churches have been
obliged to call on the members Of their con-
gregations to bring flowers from home to
assist in lending beauty to the decorations.
