And the Senators Of South
Dakota in Distribution OF
Federal Patronage.

Washington, Nov 25.--The white
house was the sccno OF lottery

age of the state of South Dakota
was disposed. The president of the
United states turned the wheel Of
fortune and Senators kittridgc and
Gamble drew out the prize packages.
There was large number of va.
cant offices in the state. due to the
fact that the two senators have
been unable To agree upon appoint
mcnts, thus permitting the old office
holders to retain their positions long
beyond the time for which they
were appointed
The senators met in the presidents
Office today by appointment to agree
If possible upon distribution. but
when they confronted the president
they found themselves just as far
apart as ever The president saw
the difficulty and proposed that they
draw lots. The senators agreed. and
the position OF bank examiner being
the place of immediate dispute. the
president toosed up coin. saying
that heads meanth that Kittridge
should win and tails that Senator
Gamble should name his man. The
piece of money fell heads up and the
nomination was awarded to Mr.. Kit
ridge.
Both senators appearing satisfied
with this method of dsposing of
the problems. the president suggest
ed that all vacancies be filled after
| the same manner and naming the
names OF the Offices. which were
written upon papers, the two sena-
tors proceeded with the drawings.
The president will be guide dby the
result of the lottery In designating

ment was hastily made and is bind

If the cotton stalks and weeds
about the farm are all burned many
OF the weevils will be destroyed
and they VIII not be so numerous
next spring. The boil weevil prob
lem will be serious one next
year and our farmers need to fight
to destroy the insect by all practi-

best methods. The farmers should
get out their cotton as early as pos.

twelve months. So great is the in.

London. nov. 26.-ln English naval
circles the belief is spreading that
in spite of President Roosevelt's as
surancc to the contrary, the Ameri-
can battleship squadron Is to stay
in the Pacific indefinitely and is not
going there merely for maneuvering
purposes.
Proof of this, English naval Of
fcials say, is the fact that the
American government has ordered
more than twice the amount of coal
necessary for the cruise OF the fleet.
Two hundred thousand tons Of
American coal is to be shipped from
Norfolk, Va. on board twenty-three
large British steamers, but although
this would would he an ample sup
ply for the fleet during the whole
cruise IL must be remembered that
an equally large amount of Welsh
lish firms.
It is the general belief here that
President Roosevelt, forseeing that
war with Japan is unavoidable
at some time, desires it to come
soon. partly because Japan is still
weak financially after her war with
Russia, and partly because war
coming just before presidential
election would surely force him to
accept Office for another term,
which is supposed to be his secret
ambition.
That Japan is not unaware of the
dangers of the situation is proven
by the fact that the shipyards of
that country are turning out cruis-
ers and battleships as fast as their
capacity will permit, and nearly all
the new battleships are OF $4,000
