banks of La Junta have more money

the financial stringency." but are
compelled to adopt the methods in
vogue elsewhere. limiting with
drawals of cash. as a precautionary
measure to protect themselves. The
financial stringency is on its last
legs and will soon be over. There is
nothing under the sun to justify the
unfortunate financial condition. but
unhappily it is a condition and not a
theory that confronts us. The First
National Bank has just placed an
order with the government for $37,-

increase its circulating medium to
that extent. This will help local
conditions very materially.

tobe doing business there by April

A telegram was received from the
Santa Fe powers that be in Topeka
last Tuesday to the effect that the
plans and specifications for the SUBJ
way east of town had been approved
and the appropriation allowed. and
that work would be inaugurated on
this new project in the very near
future. This will be pleasing news
for the people who reside on the
north side of the river. as well as
many others who have been serving
the Santa Fe by doing the standard
wait act. The estimated cost Of the
subway is So, 500. .56, one-half the ex-

Junta and the other by the railroad
company.

brick veneered. Eventually the
library will occupy new quarters on
Colorado avenue recently purchased

ROOSEVELT
AGAIN SAYS NO
President Repeats His Refusal
to Run

Following closely upon the selec-
ton of place and date of a republi-
can national convention President
Roosevelt reproduced his remarkable
declaration, made after his last cleo
ton that under no circumstances
would he again accept a nomination.
While many people claim that this
is just what they expected, many
more seem surprised and disappoint-
ed. And still there is some talk that
the convention may be the scene of
a wild wave of Roosevelt enthusiasm
that will compel him to again make
the race And such a thing might
be possible, if a deadlock comes, and
no other candidate is strong enough
to unite party leaders which is
hardly probable.
One thing is certain, in this pollti-
cal day of mystery the democrats
cannot refrain from showing their
pleasure at this almost certain elm
nation Of the President from the
race.
Political seers now consider the
fight is on between the ~progresslves,
or Roosevelt element of the party,
and the other element, called reac-
! tionaries, corporations, the interests,
ietc. The President, it is believed,
favors Taft, but the question Is
asked can he and will he pursue
Roosevelt's course?
At this time it is presumed that
the great interests will stand behind
Gov. Hughes of New York, and seek
to nominate him as against any man
Roosevelt may want. However,
this is largely surmise. The big
financial fellows may be willing t
take their chances with any one ex'
cept President Roosevelt who is
undeniably the one man in whom the
masses have confidence 20 guard
their interests.
The national political situation is
today the most complicated and IN
teresting study that it has been in 9
quarter Of a century.

DEMOCRATS
GO TO DENVER
National Convention Probably
Located by Bryan

To Denver on July 18th the demo-
Gratis go to accept the $1O0,0 600 Of
fered by that city, and perhaps to
renominate w. j. Bryan for the third
time. That he is a magnetic leader,
all men admit. That he is a strong
candidate, many Of his W party
leaders doubt.
But that he has control of his par
ty, and wants another try at the
presidency is a foregone conclusion.
Hence, it is reasonably certain, barr
ing the unforeseen, that an enthusiast
tic crowd of Bryan supporters will
again follow their peerless leader to
Denver and defeat.

Wesley OUT
FOR GOVERNOR
Washington Springs Man Makes
Announcement

State Senator Wesley, of Jerauld
county, has announced himself as a
candidate for the republican nomi-
nation Of Governor, as am in%surgent.
He is of course for Theodore
Roosevelt for President, and for
Gov, Crawford for United States
Senator. He endorses the platform
and legislative enactments of the
republican element called progress
ives, or insurgents, and announces
himself strictly for enforcement of
the law which latter expression is
taken to mean the temperance laws.
as he is said to have been acceptable
to the an~ti-saloon league officers.
In fact, this feature is SAID to have
been a strong factor in his choice
among insurgent leaders over Lieut.
Gov. Shober,
1t is also claimed that Senator
CANDLES friends favored Wesley as
against Shober, who was really the
logical candidate of the insurgents
to succeed Gov. Crawford.
The announcements of Gov. Craw-
ford for Senator, Mr. Vessey for Gov.
ernor, and Mr. Carroll for Lie9t-Gov,
practically completes the insurgent
ticket, as all other one-term officers
will be accepted by that organiza,
ton.

to Plato twp, in the northeast cor
ner of Hand county, to examine into
the death of All aged lady named
Mrs Mary Kammel, and supposed
death of her son, under suspicious
circumstances,
The Coroner reached the kammel
home as quickly as possible, and
found the mother dead, with the son
recovering. He summoned a Coro-
ner's jury, and tn. testimony which
was brought out, resulted in the ar
rest of Gustave Kammel, on acha~ge
of murder. This was followed by
the father swearing out a warrant
for the son
The father, mother and son had
all been to Rockham the day before,
and returned together, although 1t
is not known that the old man stop
ped at the home of the mother and
son, as they had not been living to-
gether.
On Friday morning the mother
prepared breakfast, as usual, cook
ing some oat meal from a box she
had used out ofseveral times before,
She and the son ate of the oat meal,
and she afterwards gave some to
their dog. All were taken violently
sick, and the mother died. The scr

very sick, and vomited freely.
Under these conditions, and by re-
quest of citizens of north Hand

South Dakota has so far enjoyed
one of the mildest winters of her his
tory. The ground is not yet frozen
up, and there has been no snow to
speak of. This condition is in very
strange contrast to that existing in
the storm swept region TO the south

experienced a severe snow storm that
did great damage to property of all
kinds, while South Dakota has not
even felt the effects of it.
