Signs of Better Times.

Philadelphia Press: One of the
signs of the condition of the country is
the marriage crop. 1t is usually an &C
curate reflex of whether times are good
or bad, whether prosperity is envelop.
ing everything or not.
The cheering tidings promulgated by
the marriage license bureaus are that
Cupid has made up for lost time during
the month OF June, and is giving indi-
cations of doing some record smashing.
AS this is in the face of decided
slump in the spring, when the young
mans fancy is currently reported to
lightly turn to such things it is encour-
aging.
Simultaneous with this widespread
business awakening is reported
throughout the country.
Surely the day of the croaker is past
The optimist has full sway.

The officials of Alton, Illinois, claim
that they photographed the eye of a
woman whose body was token from
the Missouri river the other day under
conditions which indicated she had
been murdered, and that the process
showed that there was fixed upon the

The features are SO plain that from il

MAJORITY TO MARTIN
Ex-Congressman will Have Margin
of About 200.

While there is possibility of error
that can be found only by the official
canvass, ex-Congressman Eben w.
Martin apparently has been nominated
for congressman over Philo Hall. With
only Brule, Gregory and Sully counties
to hear from, Martins majority is 4S7.
While the other three counties will cut
the figure down somewhat, his margin
should be 300.
There is possibility that in the 50
counties mistakes have been made in
reporting returns that might wipe out
Martin's majority.
There is no change in the situation
on governor. Vessey's majority will
be about 1900.
Returns received here today estab-
lished the fact that Robert S. Vessey,
progressive, has defeated j. L. Browne
of Aberdeen, the stalwart candidate
for governor, by 1900 votes. This is
final and puts an end to speculation as
far as the governors office is concerned
Although more than week has pass
ed since the primary election the re-
turns are not all in. Enough are in so
that the nomination of GRAVEYARD, Yes
sey, Clark, Dokken, Ustrud, Robinson,
and Thorson on the progressive ticket,
and Burke, Martin on the stalwart
| is conceded,
Some $4,000 votes we're cast in the
primaries, and it may be estimated that
from two to five per cent of the voters
would mark the name of the first can
didate for each office.
The law requires the county auditors
to send the abstract of the votes in the
counties to the secretary of state within
fifteen days after the primary. Aud
the state canvassing board must pro-
coed Immediately to canvass these re.
ports just as soon as all have arrived.

knowing that drop or two will cause
the animal to relax his hold.
It Is rare thing to catch one in q
trap laid at the door of his earth
even. II he is inside when the trap is
set he waits until some other animal
springs it and then emerges to eat the
victim and the bait. Only when driven
by the terrible pangs of hunger will be

animals gorge themselves when they
are fortunate enough to come across q
superabundance Of food. Not 50 with

many c0mmendable features. but 1t re

haps no argument is necessary to show
the propriety Of making this increase,
yet four years ago the people voted it
