PREPARING FOR
TIE PRIMARY battle
INsURGENT FORCES EXPECT
SWEEPING VICTORY NEXT
TUESDAY.
Narncrs Hold Key to the Situation
Local Campaigncrs ut Work
This Week.

With only day or two more be-
'nre the primary election is held,
tie political situation Is attracting
considerable attention throughout
y" state due in large extent to the
rttling Eight both factions of the re-
.ablican party are putting up. The
stal3arts rre leaving no stor. un-
turned to route the progressive re-
Epub,ilans from their apparently se-:
cure position, the latest weapon fur,
inished them being the defeat of Gov.
aCummins by Senator Allison, in
lava. For the past week or two, re-
ports en- the booster order have been
eaiaDating at frequent intervals
flom the Kittredge headquarters in
siaux Falls, claiming the Stalwarts
40 bound to win.
This statement, however, does not
tally with reports coming from var
iious points in the eastern and CEN
trail portions of the state, where the
indications point to substantial In
surgent victory.
Locally both stalwart and insur-
gent forces are laying claim to
Pennington county. If all the votes
in the county were polled 1t would
undoubtedly go insurgent, but the
stalwarts hope to see good many
OF the farmer vote stay at home
election day and give them the VIC
tory.
Most of the county and legislative
candidates have been aroun dinter-
viewing the voters this week and
the fight promises to be an interest
ing one especially in the case OF the
men running for county treasurer
register of deeds, auditor and sher-.l
if. Joseph Hare, of Keystone, can-S
didate for the state senate has re-
ceived many flattering assurances OF
support and expects to make DR.. En-
rick go some to beat him for the
nomination. E. A. Porter, of Quinn,
one OF the progressive candidates
for state representative Is putting.
up an active campaign and expects
to make a good showing. j. D. Pat
ton, his running mate, has been,
kept from making an active fight,
owing to his business duties, but his
friends are predicting his election
nevertheless. on the strength OF his
excellent record when formerly q
member of the legislature.
Out in the vicinity of Wall merry
battle for the county commissioners
ship is being waged. w. F. Haafke
is up against j. G. Hendlrickson,
who received an appointment as
commissioner when the new districts
We're created, although Haafkes had
petition for the job signed by two
hundred and fifty neighbors. Most
of the signers are rallying to his sup
port and the effectiveness Of their
work will make itself apparent cleo
| ton day.
In the Democratic camp, the only
fights of any size are those between
Granville Jones and d. p. Thomas,
for state senator, and j. p. McElroy
and Pete I4emiy for Sheriff. The
Friends of each candidate are lining
up for battle rOyal at the nolls.

UNDERWOOD HAS CLUB.
New Town Can Now Boast of Or.
ganization Guaranteed to
Boom things.

Granville Jones, secretary Of the
State Federation of Commercial
clubs, was in Underwood last week,
for the purpose of establishing bus
mess mems organization there and
the following is testimony to the
fact that he succeeded. The Pen
nington County News says:
A club composed of the business
men of Underwood which will be
given a name at meeting to be
held Saturday evening, May 30th at
$50, was organized at meeting
Wednesday evening with M. v.
Lane, president; o. P. Madsen, vice
president; G. A. Bailey, secretary,
and Charles Knowles as treasurer.
b. N. Oliver was elected to act as
an executive committee with four
officers in cases where a meeting
cannot be called.
The object of this organization
will be to see that all roads tribu-
tary, to Underwood are kept in good
condition, building up enterprises it
still lacks and looking after the well
fare Of the town in general.
On. Granville Jones, secretary OF
the State Federation of Commercial
Clubs, of Rapid City, was present
and talked on the subject, convinc.
ing the citizens that by working in
union they could accomplish much
more than by working alone, and
with this organization to boost fol
Underwood and with her splendid
Territory should soon be very pros

MAIL SERVICE IMPROVED.
Milwaukee Passenger Train Now In
cludcs Postal Car In It's
EulliDmcnt

An improvement in the mail SER
vice between this city and eastern
points, that commends itself to any
one who came in contact with the
conditions existing formerly, was in
itiated Monday, when postal car
was added to the equipment Of the
regular Milwaukee passenger train.
between Murdo and Rapid City,
thereby giving to the residents Of
immediate points much improved
service, for until the postal car was
put on, the mail was pouched in this
city and carried to Murdo, to be
brought back on the next train and
distributed along the road.
The new local free delivery sys-
tenn is now in operation, and as the
carriers become better acquainted
with their routes the service will
quickly improve. The new drop
boxes about the city are being patron
lied quite extensively and the mall
men find they have plenty to do de-
livering and collecting letters and
packages.
Postmaster Barber desires to have
attention called to the rules Of the
Post Office department, making it
necessary to place a two cent stamp
on all mail of the first class, in
tended for delivery at points where
the free delivery system is in effect.
Several have suffered some incon-
venience owing to the misnnder-
standing prevalent to a certain ex-
tent regarding this point.

Attention was called to the fact
that fire escapes leading from the

A delegation from the First ward
took the floor next to throw little
light on the subject of moisture as
observed in that section of the town
after the heavy rains Of Sunday
night. Mr.. Paxon reported his base

GnnnAnX


The city rock crushing plant is
once more in operation. Yesterday
morning Tom Mair, of the South Da-
kota Concrete & Construction Co., to
whom the crusher has ben leased,
started the engine going, and the
massive jaws of the crushing ma
chinery are now crushing limestone
into various grades or rubble.
For every ton of rock crushed the
city is to receive ten cents, with
the exception of that furnished the
city, on which no royalty is paid. the
material being furnished to the mu-
nicipality at cost for public improve
ments.
The present supply Of rock is OBJ
tanned from the Bennett quarries
west of town. This is where the
material used in paving the streets
last year came from, and the city
;stll has lease on the quarry for
another year.
Local contractors are to receive
first consideration in supplying the
trade and then the towns in the vi
cinity will be supplied.
When the plant is in good run
ming order it is expected that about
sixty tons of rock per day will be
put through the machine From
present indications the leasing com
pany will have no trouble in finding
a market for the output.

federate soldier, Mr.. Jones, told
something Of the feeling of the
southland and of it's relation to the
united country whose blessings we
enjoy today. He told incident after
incident to illustrate his declaration
that the war was indeed over and
the patriots of the north and south
now stand side by side to meet the
common enemy.
Under the leadership of Prof. Bly,
man. the school children marched
from the Second Ward school to
the hall, and were given seats in
front of the stage. The members Of
Harvey Post G.. A. R. were escorted
from the post headquarters by the
Indian school band, and were seated
on the stage as guests of honor.
Before Mr.. Jones began his ad
dress, patriotic songs were sung
and prayer offered by Rev. Upton. A

.seventy-five acres of the same, and
the prospects are bright for this por-
