Ex-Governor Elrod can retire from
his position as governor of this state
with a splendid record, and it is
crowned with an act of justice which
has received d high testimonial of
appreciation from the legislature of
the state of North Carolina, which
body passed resolutions thanking
the governor for his position in ref
enc to the bonds which has been
presented South Dakota and on
which was collected some $4,000.
Sam Elrod did not think that South
Dakota ought to prosper on such
money and in his last message to
the legislature he recommended that

TREATING BILL WILL DIE
Anti-Treating Bill Will Come up in
the Senate and Will be
be
Surely Slaughtered.

Pierre, Feb. 1S.-(Special to the
wolf bounty bill
is reported f%avorably today, carrying
a $4,000 appropriation, and the herd
law bill, affecting Lyman and Greg
DRY counties, also gets a favorable re-
port. The anti-treating bill comes up
in the senate today with a strong
probability Of defeat, though a large
majority believe in its provisions.

Notwithstanding the legislature
did not take cognizance of the wo-
mans suffragist petition, the ladies
made a good showing, when they
presented a petition containing 81
600 names on paper that was los
feet long. 1t is possible that an eff
fort will be made to referendum the
petition and thus find out what the
people of the state think about the
suffrage question.

Any thought that the Tbaw trial
would be set aside because of the
death of the wife of one of the
jurors, which necessarily occasioned
the separation of the jury, was dis
PEELED when it was announced that
the trial would be resumed today.
The conviction is growing stronger
every day that Thaw Will BE given
his liberty by the jury, taking into
consideration the fact the story that
Mrs, Thaw gave to the jury was one
that would naturally have a geat deal
of weight, and the sacrifice she
made in opening the darkest page
in the history of Der life was suf-
icient to have some recompense from
the jury. While the death of White
might be deplored for the taking of
a Human ljfe. it was no more.-shock-
ing than bis ruination OF the life OF
Evelyan Thaw, and she is entitled
to the life OF her husband for what
White robbed her OF.

ed here tonight on what Is believed
to be reliable authority that George

is supposed to be the result OF that
investigation.
Pritchard came to Indian Terrific.

good record as an officer. having
been in the federal service there.

TO avoid a decrease in prices such

their crop. when able to do so, and
market it slowly. using their ware

loans from their local bankers TO
meet pressing obligations. The
promised aid of the bankers will aid
the association in maintaining the
agreed price. and will aid the fnan-
