a theory the primary election
system Of making nominations il
ideal, but to convince the ordinary
svoter that under our present pri-
mary law be has very much to say
trequires long stretch Of imagina-
ton. Candidates for only four Of
fces were submitted to the voters
lby the democrats, viz: two con-
|eressmen, governor, and lieutenant
governor. The rest Of the tic ket
was left vacant on the primary ball
lot, the arrangement being to let.
the convention do the rest under
the provision of the law permitting
conventions to fill vacancies. When
the convention assembled it was
found that the candidates nominat-
ed BY the primaries we're all bunch
ed in the southeast portion of the
state. This would not do, so Har-
ris, Of Yankton, one Of the candi-
dates for congress, was ordered to
withdraw and the convention nomi-
mated Olson of the Black Hills and
the rest of the ticket was made up
by the convention in regular old
1 i Il
fashioned style. The republicans
fortified themselves against such a
contingency. A few of the leaders
sof each faction of the party got to-
gether and fixed up slate SO that
but one candidate could appear for
each Office on the primary ballot
and in that way the people" who
were to have the privilege of maxi
ing the nominations, couldn' t make
q mistake. Owing to the fact that
two factions existed in the republi-
can party this year the voter had a.
choice between two candidates for
each Office, bat should the party be
united the same tactics could easi-
1ly be worked and in that case the
voter atthe primary would have no
choice whatever. The ideal prima-
ry should give the voters the great
est possible privilege, not simply
Of endorsing candidates selected by
"a few manipulators, but Of bring
ing out candidates that are suitable.
In this respect the primary, in it's
present form, gives less opportun-
ity than the old convention system.

Fatal Shooting at Trip.

A fatal shooting scrape occurred
at Tripp last Friday afternoon.
1t appears that farmer named
Albert Maxon who lives west of
that town, while intoxicated, got
into an alteration with Martin
Berry, the bartender in the Rose
bud saloon. Finally Maxon drew
a revolver and commenced firing.
Two shots were fired, one of them
killing Berry instantly and another
striking John Frey, an assistant
bartender, in the shoulder, making
a serious though not fatal wound.
Maxon was arrested and is now
confined in the jail at Olivet. An
inquest was held over the body of
Mr.. Berry Saturday forenoon, aft
er which the remains were taken
overland to Geddes for burial. Mrs.
Berry, the wife of the murdered
man, and her mother came from
Tripp on the 12:45 train Saturday
and took the 3:25 train to Geddes.
Maxon is said to be a prominent
farmer, is an old resident of Hutch
inson county, and has a large FAM
lily.

Bon Homme county have appro-

an agricultural exhibit from this
county at the Mitchell Corn Palace
exposition this fall. Bon Homme
county always has material for a
creditable exhibit but it has seldom
been represented in these county
contests as no funds have been pro-
vided to pay the expense. Now that
the funds have been provided other
counties will have to go some if
they take the honors.

8. REVELATIONS.


Time flew into November and the
widow had not returned Mrs. Long,
mans visit, neither had sha heard
from her.
Early In December Mrs Longman
received a brief note from the widow
1t was request for the return Of the
blue silk umbrella The widow had
left of her weeds and 1t would just
match a new blue dress.
Mrs. Longman Immediately sent the
smbreIla back by express. The re-
cApt she carefully deposited in the
scrap basket.
Christmas came and went Mrs
Longman had neither seen nor heard
from the widow.
The middle of January Mrs Long
man received a still briefer note from
the widow asking for an immediate re-
turn Of the same blue silk umbrella.
Mrs. Longman took q postal and
wrote. q did send it." and began to
think OF the receipt.
Time went on as It always will, but
Mrs. Longman heard nothing from her
dear friend, not even an answer to her
postal.
One day, much to her surprise, she
received a letter from the widows
legal adviser. requesting the return Of
a blue silk umbrella, borrowed the pre-.
ceding October.
Darn the woman" said Mrs Long.
man, and wrote the legal gentleman
she had sent the umbrella back by
express in December.
Where is the receipt" replied the
legal gentleman.
81 have lost it." wrote Mrs. Long
man.
Then what evidence has my client
that you ever sent IT." replied the
legal gentleman.
MY word, wrote Mrs Longman.
Your word is not sufficient" re-
piled the legal gentleman.
Mrs. Longmans indignation did not
permit her to answer AS she heard
nothing more she quickly forgot all
about the matter.
The widow did not forget. She
waNted that blue silk umbrella. It
matched her dress.
Once more she requested her legal
adviser TO write, demanding the re-
turn OF the blue silk umbrella, or the
payment Of five dollars OF threat
ened suit
On receipt Of this last communica.
ton Mrs. Longman fell into tears and
said, How could she?"
Then she took & sheet Of paper,
wrote, you nasty thing" inclosaa a
fve-doller bin and seat IL to her dear
friend.

RelIs Of Antiquity Sacrificed 20 Com
fort Of suburbanltes.

A correspondent in Rome has taken
the hrst opportunity Of looking into
or rather through, the breach made
under municipal authority in the Azure
Ian wall. It has been made quite
frankly and candidly for the sake OF
the new Roman suburbs. See what
It Is TO set up suburbs to q walled
cityl Rome Is only partially walled
Of course, but this piece Of rather late
antiquity-but still antiQuity--the
great brown range Of brick, was, for
a great space Of the Pincian Hill, com.
plete. The three gates piercing II
were suficient for the carts on their
way to and from the outer world Of
the Campagna. And one might have
thought that the few hundred yaFvs1
that the suburbanites had to walk or
drive in order to get in at one Of those
historic gates we're not too great q
tax to pay to history and archaeology.
But 1t was deemed too great, and the
wall is broken, not by new gate, but
by mere cutting, which aisagares
as we'll as destroys.

Mourning Canes.

when / was in Rome recently" !"
says a New Yorker, Il saw an acces-
sorry Of dress that l never saw any
where else. 1t was a walking stick, an
ebony stick, simply and beautifully
fashioned and with a plain gun metal
band near the handle.
Tt was intended to 60 with mourn
ing wear. There was a duh finish to
the ebony that made the stick fitting
accompaniment to other trappings Of
woe, but the cane itself could have
been carried without any suggestion
Of being in mourning.
In fact, / never have seen anybody
carry his mourning to the extent Of a
cane, and imagine that most men
would not care for it for that pur.
pose"

SUN ECLIPSE
PARTIAL ONLY

Washington, June 27.-Old Sol will
80 into partial eclipse tomorrow morn
ing and for three hours will hide his
face from the people Of a considera-
bic portion Of the United States. The
area in which the eclipse may be OBJ
.seered covers the North American
continent south Of latitude so, as well
as South America north of the eQua-
tor and large portions of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, southwestern Eu-
rope and west Africa. As the moon is
now at almost its greatest distance
from the earth, 1t win not then, ap-
parently directly in front of the sun,
quite conceal it. The area where such
a central observation may be made
aand where the eclipse is most nearly
total is about 200 miles mide and ex-
tends acress Mexico. the gulf and
Florida.
The first contact Of the eclipse, as
viewed in Washington will begin at
1927 tomorrow morning reaching its
greatest degree of observation at 11:22
and ending at 1859 o'clock. AT its
height shortly after II o'clock, about
three fourths of the suns says will
be cut off and the greater part of the
United States will pass into semi-ob-
security.
AS observed in Washington the
moon will appear to pass before the
southern part Of the sun, beginning
at the right edge and gradually Gov
ering all the lower part of the disc
AT its height the eclipse will trans
form the sun into a crescent, of a
width Of about a third the diameter
Of the sun. AT this time the shape OF
the sun can be readily perceived by
gazing at it through smoked glass.
Little significance is attached to a
partial eclipse of the sun by astron
omers, as all possible observations un
der such conditions have already beer
made Only total eclipse now has
scientific interest, since it affords
opportunities for studying the suns
surroundings not possible at any other
time
Tomorrows eclipse will begin at 6:1z
In San Fransisco; at 7:21 nj Denver,
at SOB in New Orleans; at S:4l il
Chicago; at 1888 in New York; at 1O.S
in Boston and at corresponding differ
ances Of time in intermediate cities.

1t was not until August, 1877, that
the General PIKE, the first steamer
ever to ascend the Mississippi river
above the mouth Of the Ohio, reached
st. Louis. No pictures and but scant
descriptions Of this pioneer craft are
obtainable at the present time. But
from old letters 1t Is learned that she
was built on the model Of a barge,
with her cabin situated on the lower
deck, SO that its top scarcely showed
above the bulwarks. She had low
pressure engine which often was not
sufficient to stem the current; in such
predicament the crew got out their
shoulder poles and pushed painfully
up stream. At night she tied up to
the nearest bank Only one other
steamer reached ST. Louis during this
same year.

view that there are no Indian gypsieG,
says Nature, that the recent iind Of
Oriental books at Turfan, with other
evidence, shows that the civilization
and phonetics we have been won't to
consider special to India fourished at
one time north Of the Himalayas, and
that therefore there is no need to
seek the origin Of the Romani speech
in India. is startling, and not likely to
be accepted without further proof than
that furnished in the present article.

The TALE OF
AN UMBRELLA



Things in this world so by con
traries.
Mrs. LongmaR Lived IN New York,
the paradise Of the rich. because she
was poer and literary.
Mrs. Wealthy Widow lived IA one
Of the suburbs because she had money
and wanted to keep IT,
Mrs.. Longmsn was tall and untidy--
a woman who always had q rip In her
sleeve. tear in her skirt and some
buttons OF.
Mrs. Wealthy Widow was short,
rather stout and as neat as a pin; Al.
though her husband had been dead
beyond the formal period Of mourning,
she still clung to habillments OF black.
Neither Of these ladies was aware
Of each others existence until they
chanced to meet at a summer colony.
Why they became friends? 1t
would be hard to say, but everybody
knows there is something In the air
Of summer resting places which makes
queer friendships.
By midsummer these two ladies
we're as intimate as the blind man and
his dog.
AT the end Of the summer, like
David and Jonathan, they could not
bear to part
The middle Of September came. Mrs.
Longman said she ought to go back
to the city. Mrs Wealthy Widow said
she must go home
They parted with mighty wrench,
many kisses and heaps Of promises TO
see each other soon.
2. THE GIFT.
II was late in October before Mrs.
Longman had her Apartment settled,
her rips and tears sewed up and was
buttoned throughout.
Then she thought Of her dear
friend, Mrs. Wealthy Widow.
Z must spend the day with her"
she said.
SO she did.
Mrs. Wealthy Widow welcomed her
with opened arms, warm kisses and
hot tea.
The day was spent in picking over
the past summers gossip.
Mrs. Longman prolonged her visit
until the COWS came home, and Il
poured little cisterns.
Never mind" said the widow, q
will give you an umbrella. 1t is q
blue silk one. can't use it as / am
in mourning Don't bother to return
