SOUTH DAKOTA PRIMARY.

The South Dakota primary law, which
became effective when signed by Gov
ernor Crawford last week, provides for
a sweeping Statewide, direct primary,
says the Lead Call.
1t applies to all elective Offices; coun.
ty, district and state, and calls for an
expression of preference for candidates
for the United States senate which shall
operate the same as party instructions
to the legislators. The law does not ap-
ply to municipal, township and school
elections, but may be applied to such
elections by a majority vote of the elec.
tors at any regular election.
Primaries for state and county oth-
GERS will be held on the second Tuesday
in June, 1908, and every two years
thereafter, the polls to be kept open
from a. IN. to p. IN. Separate ballots
arctic be provided for the various politi-
cal parties, no two ballots to be OF the
same color. There is provision that
independent candidates may be grouped
under some appropriate motto, pracu'
cally making new party tickets. Candi-
dates may secure places on the regular
party ballots by circulating petitions and
paying fees varying with the import
ance of the office. The fee for United
States senator or congressman is $4,000
For state officers the fee ranges from
$50 to $40.
Delegates to national conventions
shall be elected at special state conven-
tions held on the rst Tuesday in April,
1908, and quadrienially thereafter. Del
egates are to be elected at county con-
ventions held on the fourth Tuesday In
March of the years in question. Prl-
mares to elect delegates to the county
convention must be held on the second
Tuesday in March. 1t is provided, how
ever, that whenever two-thlrds OF the
county at a regularly called meeting
shall decide that there is not sufficient
contest over the selection of delegates
from such county to justify the expense
of county convention the county com
mittee shall have the power to name
the delegates to the state convention to
select delegates to the national conven-
ton.
The law provides that any candidate
who secures plurality at the primary
election shall be declared nominated,
provided the vote cast for him shall
equal 80 per cent of the total vote polled
by his party. If no candidate receives
the required percentage the choice goes
to the county or state convention, when
must make choice between the candl-
dates voted for in the primary. Dele
gates to the county convention are voted
for on the primary ballot. Ties are to
be decided by lot by the canvassers.
The question of party affiliation which
has proved so troublesome in other
states, has been left by the South Da'
kota Legislators largely to the conscience
of the voter. A voter may call for any
of the party ballots and it must be given
him unless his right to it is formally
challenged. In case of challenge the
voter is required to make oath that
since the last general election he has
been in good faith q member OF the
party, believer in its principles as ex'
pressed in the last preceding state and
national platforms, and that it is his In
tention to support the principles OF the
party and the candidates nominated a'

legal holidays, and all provisions of the
statutes in relation TO the holding of
elections, the solicitation of votes at the
polls, the bribing or attempted bribing

in the voting precinct, the manner of
conducting elections and all kindred
subjects apply to the primary elections,
in so far as they are consistent with the
same.

gency measure the referendum can not
be invoked against it. 1t is now in eff

DOG WAS MAD.
Word Sent on By Dr Bland from Pas.
 teur Institute.

Word was received to-day from the Pasteur institute of New York that the dog which attacked and plunged its teeth into the hand of Marjjilliano ROddaxso last week undoubtedly had the rabies. From the examination of the head which was sent to the insti- tute by Dr Bland it was discovered that the symtoms of rabies were much in evidence.
 The dog is said to have been own. ed by John Deyastini of Chatfleld avenue. One morning last week while on his way to work. Roddaxso who is employed in Brooklyn by Kel- ly. the baker, encountered the dog near the Naugatuck station and al- though he endeayored to shake the animal of. the eur succeeded Tn plac- ing it's teeth in the mans hand. Rod daxso had the wound cauterized and has not suffered much. As far as is known the man who owned the dog has effected no settlement.

Notes of the Church Dedication.

The seating capacity of St Francis Aavier's church is 1900.
 Father Curtin looked radiant and happy yesterday. Do you wonder? Mayor William E. Thoms was one of the guests of honor at the dedica- tion.
 New Britain. the birthplace of the pastor of St Francis Xavier, was we'll represented at the dedication.
 It rained. showed and the wind whlstled fiercely last night, but all had no appreciable effect on people who had made up their minds to at tend the service.
 A confirmation class of 167 is not so bad, but if the boys and girls of the parish put forward their best ef- forts the number will be considera- ply larger the next time the bishop visits the parish for that purpose.
 Father Fleming. who had charge of the confirmation class, deserves great credit for the care he has be- slowed upon the little ones. Ii re- quired time and patience to bring about the splendid result of yester- day.
 The church was open for an hour or so Saturday night and hundreds took advantage of the opportunity to drop in and say a prayer and at the same time take a look at the altars. the paintings and last, but by no means least, the beautiful seats.
 When the parish was established twelve years ago there were about 2,s0o souls in the parish. At the present time the number is some thing in the neighborhood of $500. The trolley cars were not running up that way at that time. but they were very much in evidence last night.
 When the tapers were lighted last night the altar and sanctuary pre- sented a cheerful appearance. There were some potted plants and palms. not too many. and yet just enough to please those who know or think they know a thing or two about what looks best on such occasions. It was complete artistic triumph.
 On short notice and without any time for preparation the Rev John t;. Murray filed the pulpit at St Francis I Navier's church last night in a most ! satisfactory manner. His sermon was interesting and instructive. 1t was great blow to Father Curtin to lse informed Saturday night that Father O'Sullivsn of Montpelier. v:. wbo was to speak in the evening was | sick and could not come, hut when he got over the shock and eommenc--I | 'c look around for man to fill the gap. il didn't take him long to tbinz I gf the right man

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Value of Limoges China Will Remain
on Old Basis.

New York, May BY a decision of
Judge Byron S. Waite of the United
States general appraisers, just handed
down, 100000 worth of Limoges china
imported by Haviland G Co. from their
factory at Limoges, was admitted at a
valuation which will sustain the pres
ent prices on French china all through
this country. The decision is an i'm
po1tant one Claims had been made
that Limoges china was undervalued
at the customhouse and the apprais-
ers, for the purpose of making a test,
Increased the valuation 100 per cent.
The result was that importations i'm
mediately ceased and as this country
was the chief customer for the product
the factories at Limoges, France. had
to close down.
The decision now rendered puts the
valuation back practically on the old
basis, so that importations will con-
tinue and work at Limoges can be re-
sumed.
