HISTORY MAY
REPEAT ITSELF
Is Vain Hope that Springs
Eternal in Democratic
Breast

Sioux Falls. Aug. Is Republi
can Bureau The boasts of the dem
ocrats that they will this year make
political history repeat itself in
South Dakota by causing politi-
ca upheavel in the state, are not
worthy of serious consideration
Conditions in 1896 were much differ
ent from what they are today. The
free silver craze in that campaign
swept the country like a prairie fire
and won thousands of voters, who
had not had an opportunity to care
fully study the question. to the
cause of the democracy. The fall
lacy of the free silver proposition
was proven years ago and the demo-
Gratis have been compelled to drop
the issue and substitute for it some
thing else which they believe will
catch the voter.
But the voters have had their eye
teeth cut and are not again ready to
follow false gods as represented bv
the Organized democratic party of
today South Dakota under republi-
can rule has never experienced such
prosperity and never before have the
people of the state, generally speak
ing, been in better financial condition
than at present. Never have they
been more contented. They are
more closely in touch with state and
national affairs. and never before
have they kept better posted on the
trend of events. The intelligent
voter of today cannot be carried
off his feet by false issues raised
by the democrats, neither can they
be won from their allegiance to the
grand old republican party the
party which docs things"
The republican ticket which is pre-
sented to the voters Of the state In
this campaign is made up of clean
men, men who have been successful
in every walk Of life to which they
have been called, and who will hon
estly and conscientiously perform the
duties assigned them by the voters
of the state.

TO SOUTH POLE
IN AUTOMOBILES
Exploring Expedition Starts
Search For South Pole
and New Continent

Havre, Aug. Is. Acclaimed by a
great crowd. including representa-
tives of the government, the steam
er Pourquoi Pas left here today on a
voyage Of discovery to the south
pole.
The expedition is private one
and is headed by DR. Jean Charcot,
who led q similar voyage il 1905
In addition to several young scien-
fists there is a crew of twenty-eight
on board the Pourquoi Pas.
M. Charcot plans to explore and
define the southern limits of the Pa
cific ocean and to determine accur-
ately whether or not there is vast
continent extending as far south as
the pole itself
The expedition is fitted out for
three years, but the members ex-
pect to live largely on the result
Of THEN hunting and fishing in the
Antarctic.
An interesting feature of the out
fit is several ice automobiles with
which the explorers hope to push
over the ice fields. These machines
have been successfully tried out
amid the snow and the ice Of the
Alps.

ANTHRAX PLAGUE
IN CLAY COUNTY
Expert Says it Has Been There
For Years

Vermillion, S. D., Aug. "a. An
expert from the Parke- Davis com
pany of Detroit, Mich, has been in
Clay and Yankton counties investl-
eating the anthrax situation and
holding meetings for the purpose
of enlightening the farmers. He
has come to the conclusion that an
thrax has been lurking around for
years, but until now has never
shown itself to a great extent. In
several communities he learn that
on different occasions in times past
farmers have found one or more ami
mails dead in their yards that were
apparently healthy the night be-
fore.
According to the Detroit man, an
thrax, once it has gained firm foot
hold, is very difficult to blot out, and
there is no telling when it will stop
spreading. The germ turks In pas
lures, fields, swampy ground, hay
stacks, etc. He advises vaccination
in the spring before the stock is
turned into the pastures and also
the burning Of the pasture and fields
this fall.
Losses of stock still continue in
Clay county. and in some instances
several animals have died in herds
that were vaccination over two weeks
ago. Anthrax vaccinated, it is said,
works similar to smallpox vaccina-
ton. 1t will be effective with some
horses and cattle, while it will not
touch others.
The farmers have come to the con-
clusion that about the only thing they
can do this fall is to vaccinate and
depend on cooler wheather to check
the anthrax spread. And by burn
ing of fields and vaccination early
next spring, they hope to gain re-
lief.

An Object Lesson

The Chicago Tribune pictures MI
Bryan in 1896 talking to lean lot
of farmers who were smoking cob
pipes. In the back ground is Mr
Bryan's plain little home. He was
telling the farmers how they would
be made prosperous by leaving the
republican party to boost for free
silver.
A companion picture shows Mr.
Bryan talking to the same farmers
now in 1908. His home is fine
one. Mr. Bryan is himself larger
and more smiling man. and the far
mers are happy, well dressed and
smoking cigars-but Mr. Bryan still
advises them to leave the republi-
can party and follow him!

FIRE SWEEPS OVER
TWO NEW TOWNS
A Couple of New Towns on the
M. & St. l.. Extension

Aberdeen American:-The towns of
Lowry and Alaska, in the southern
part of Walworth county, on the
M. & st. l.. railroad, were partially
wiped off the map late Sunday night
and early Monday morning by two
destructive fires of undoubtedly in
cendiary origin.
In Alaska six buildings were de-
stroyed that of the old bank build
ing which was vacant at the time;
the Alaska News plant, owned by
Fred Griffin of Selby; the pool room,
the butcher shop, the saloon and the
hardware store. All these buildings
were in row and of frame struc-
ture. The fire started in the pool
hall and before the flames could be
stopped the buildings which consti-
tuted nearly all one side of the main
street, were a mass of ruins. The
loss in Alaska is estimated to be
$4,000.

THE STATE FAIR
SEPTEMBER 7 Toll
Largest Line of Attractions
Ever Presented

Tuesday, September 8. the first ac-
tive day of the Fair, will be made
the greatest day of the week. Gov.
John A. Johnson, of Minnesota, will
on that date deliver an address, and
special trains will be run on railroads
to make that the best day Of the fair.
At II o'clock en- that day the first
successful air ship flight ever held in
this state will be had by Strobels
aeronauts. of Toledo, Ohio, who de-
feated the world in the presence of
125, 900 people at. Louis, Mo-, on
October %, 1907, by winning both
first and second prizes. They are
under contract to make two success
full flights each day of the Eair.
Fink's Coon Town Circus, a train
ed animal show, will afford eighteen.
minutes of laughter and entertain
ment.
The Savages, sensational comedy
aerialists, with wardrobe par excl
lence.
Spot, the high diving uog, owned
by Frank Ulbreth, of Tracy, Mimi,
will give two performances each
day.
Various shows of high standards:
an Indian village, the largest Ferris
wheel ever in the state, together
with hundreds of minor attractions,
are already under contract.
The State Fair Board has made ar
rangements with Adjutant Engelsby
for the state militia to police the
grounds, thus assuring ample protec-
ton. An emergency hospital will al
so be established on the grounds, to
be free for any case of sickness. or
accident.
The Fourth Infantry band of thir-
ty pieces will furnish music during
the week.
The agricultural exhibits alone will
repay every visitor for the time and
expense TO visit the Fair The fol-
lowing counties have applied for
space: Brown. Sphinx, Clark. Coding-
ton. Brookings. Kingsbury, Beadle.
Hand, HYDE, Hughes, Stanley, Butte,
Sanborn, McCook, Hanson, Miner
and Minnehaha. Thousands Of peo-
pie from the east will visit the Fair,
and exhibits of this nature will do
more to advertise the resources of
the state than anything else.
The live stock department will be
the largest and best exhibit ever
made in the northwest. One new
large cattle barn has been erected,
two additional swine barns.
The poultry exhibit will exceed
that of 1907, which was the largest
entry ever had in the state.
The speed program will be the
best ever held in the state, beyond
any question. One hundred and fif-
tyhorses, at least, will be at the
races. Sixty are in daily training
on the track at this time. Two new
speed barns are being erected which
will furnish fifty additional box stalls
for the convenience of the horse
men.
All other departments. such as
horticultural, woman's department,
dairy, mines and mining. and apiary.
will have splendid exhibits.
We trust that all who can spare
the time to attend the South Dakata
State Fair will do so. and aid and as
sist the State Board of Agriculture
in bringing forth successful Fair.
