side Of the river and boarded In Far
go. He disappeared six weeks ago.
His head had been crushed and the
skull fractured, and there Is every evil
dence Of foul play. 1t is suspected that
he vas killed while intoxicated, and

PRIMARY LAW TO BE PUT TO TEST
Features Of New Statute Will Cause Contes-Thc Limitation
Number Of Names Candidates Petition Presents Tantle

Il is not probable that tho new pri-
mary law will be carried into effect
next year without testing certain por-
lions Of 1t in the courts before the
voters select their first ticket under
Its provisions. So far as the state is
concerned there is likely to be long
list Of candidates for the different po-
sitions, and when the time of can
vassing the returns comes up in case
there is close count on any of the
places the canvassing board will be
watched even more closely than it
was at the time the returns were
counted which elected a part Of a
Populist ticket In the state. There
will be crowd Of candidates watch
ing the proceedings, and If any luck
less county official fails properly to
sign or certify the returns, signs on
the wrong line or makes any other
slip which will allow the setting aside
of returns from any county to let in
another candidate, there will be
contest.
One of the provisions which Is like
" to cause trouble is the limitations
placed upon the number of names
which may go upon a petition For
state officers the limitation Is not less
than 1 per cent Of the votes cast at
she last preceding election by the
party of which the man was a candi.
date and not more than per cent of
that vote. For county and legislative
positions the limitations are not less
than 3 per cent and not more than 5
per cent. A candidate starts his petit
ton, probably places several petitions
in the hands of enthusiastic friends,
or they start on their own motion. In
their enthusiasm they go over the 5
per cent. Have they a right to strike
of any one, any more than they have
to add one? If they go over the petit
ton Is void, and the way is open for
trouble.
The petitions must be signed with
ink or indelible pencil, and must con-
tain the name Of the petitioner, his
postohice address. the county in which
he resides and the date OF his sigma
ture. No signature may be counted
where the date is more than ninety
days prior to the date of the primary
election at which a choice Is to be
made Some Of the coming candidates
for state positions contemplate an

Wage War on Horse Rustisrs. /

Z 80
William Moses, sheriff OF Butte
county, one of the best known peaoa
officers G: Western South Dakota, whc,
during the period he has been In Office,
has proved himself terror to cattle
and horse ,'rustlers," has returned
from attendance at an important meet
Ing of the horse raisers Of Wyoming,
at which arrangements were conclud-
ed for waging an aggressive war OF ex-
termination upon che horse and cattle
thieves Of Western North and South
Dakota, Eastern Montana and Wyo-
ming and the Pine Ridge and Rosebud
Indian reservations of South Dakota.
All the above vast extent of terri
tory has been divided into districts,
each one being placed in charge of re-
liable and persistent sheriffs who are
expected to carry on warfare to the
death against the thieves. Western
North and South Dakota and the Pine
Ridge and Rosebud reservations have
been assigned to Sheriff Moses, and
he has been authorized by the horse
growers association of Wyoming to
spare no efforts or expense in the work
OF locating and arresting men who mo-
lest the horses Of members Of the as.
sociation, or who have In the past
handled any Of the animals, either "a
thieves or middlemen
Rewards as high as $1,000 have
been offered for the conviction OF any
man who has stolen horses from mem.
bers Of the association. The sherffs
who have been placed in charge Of the
various districts also have been au-
thorized to engage the services Of at
torneys to prosecute men whom they
arrest on the charge of horse stealing.
The horse thieves have become dar.
ing during the last six or eight
months. 1t Is their practice to work
together in gangs Of from two to five
and swoop down on ranches at night
and drive away as many horses as
they can find. In some instances they
have flashlight signals to aid them in
their night operations.
The operations of the thieves ara
not confined solely to the mammoth
ranches, but also extend to the farms
Of those who have invaded the from
tier. In some localities the frontier
farmers those residing in the terri
tory where the thieves are operating,
have resorted to the expedient of ar
ranging bells OH their barn doors in
such way that 1t the doors are open.
ed at night by the thieves the bells
will be rung and the alarm given.
In order to get the lay Of the land
the thieves send out advance men
through the territory where raid is
contemplated These pretend to be
cattle buyers. but they spy out the
owners Of fine and valuable horses
and the raiders afterward visit the
places and secure possession of the
animals. Many Of the stolen horses
are sent by the thieves across the line
into British Northwest Territory,
where they are disposed Of to unsus-
pecting farmers who are locating In
that region.
Now that the ranchmen have per.
fected their organization, the thieves
and their friends will be run to earth.
Not the slightest mercy will be shown
them or the men who, posing as re-
spectacle members of tho various
communities, act as fences" for the
thieves and dispose of the stolen ami.
mails for them.

Asks Funds for Trial.

Something of a sensation, In view
OF the near approach Of the date set
for the commencement of the trial OF
Mrs. Emma Kaufman of Sioux Falls
on the charge Of having murdered her
domestic, has been created by the
flooding of the Sioux Falls business
houses with copies Of letter prepared
under the direction Of a committee OF
cltiZens at Parkston, who are actively
engaged in aiding in the prosecution
of Mrs. Kaufman
The Parkston citizens committee q
number of weeks ago engaged special
attorneys, two from Iowa and one from
South Dakota, to assist States Attor.
ney Orr Of Sioux ral.~ In prosecuting
the case. The purpose Of sending out
the letters at this time is to induce II
possible the Sioux Falls jobbers and
other business men to contribute to-
ward the fund for the payment Of the
special attorneys.
The business men of Sioux Falls
and the people Of Minnehaha county
are as determined as the people OF
Parkston and Hutchinson county that
the case against Mrs. Kaufman shall
be prosecuted to the end. The bust
ness men of Sioux Falls pay good
proportion Of the entire taxes of Min
nehaha county, and In doing so feel
that they will pay their just proportion
OF the costs of the Kaufman case,
They do not hesitate to say that to
contribute to the fund for the payment
OF special attorneys, who were en-
gagged by the citizens committee OF
Parkston on their own responsibility
and without giving the business men
Of Sioux Falls an opportunity to sug.
gest or consult as to what special at.
torneys should be engaged, would be
equivalent to requiring them to pay
double for the prosecution OF the
Kaufman case.
Extensive improvements are planned
for Viborg this season. Although
Viborg is only small place. 1t is es.
timated that at least 10000 will be ex.
pended for public improvements. Halt
of this amount will be spent In the
construction Of municipal water
works system, for which the voters
declared themselves at special cleo.
ton few weeks ago. The work Of
constructing the system is In progress.
Within the next five years Viborg Will
be at least the second largest town In
Turner county, and perhaps the 1arg-
est.

Decay Of tho Citizen a Prelude to It's

Not long ago the Esquiline cemetery
was eYcavated, and there was discov-

deep. 1t was an ancient burial ground
for slaves, who were thrown into 1t
along with the carcasses Of animals
true that methods OF human burial In
dictate the value which Is placed on
human life, these Roman slave pits
are in themselves sufficient to indi-
cate the spirit that lay behind Roman
civilization. The collective tyranny
was reproduced in the acts Of the sim

expressed in the boast of Roman cap.
italists that their own domains and
their own slaves supplied them with
almost every article that they needed,
and made them Independent OF the
fluctuations OF the markets. That Is
the picture OF society breaking up.
1t Is for such reasons that il the de-
cline OF an empire Is, as Gibbon called
1t, "the most awful scene in the his
tory OF mankind" 1t Is scene which
cannot find it's ultimate explanation
in the narrow formulate OF politics
and economics. For a nation Is col

contain elements Of surprise, and are
incalculable, and the sum Of their
characters Is the national conscience.
Hence the national conscience may
vary from century to century. On the

have been discovered dedications to
Nemesis. But we cannot measure ev-

yate character, which at last caused
