reasan to be pleased at the large and
representative gathering which
assembled at the opera house on
Monday evening to hear him discuss
the issues confronting the voters of
Day county in the coming political
campaign. Every seat IN the beau
tifully decorated hall was taken and
standing room was in demand, serv-
ing to show the intense interest
already taken in the coming struggle.
Delegates were present from Pier
pont. Andoyer, Bristol and Waubay
and nearly every township in the
county was represented. The
speaker was introduced by Hon.
Frank Sears in a few well chosen
words in which he referred to his
last visit s years ago and stated that
he was now present as the guest of
the Roosevelt Taft Kittredge Club
of Day county. Mr.. Martin, in open
ing, retired also to his former visit
which occurred at the time Of the
memorable tour of Theodore Roose-
welt through South Dakota during
the Mckinley Bryan campaign at
which time President Roosevelt
delivered a rear platform address
here. Mr.. Martin was on the Vice
Presidential train but dropped off
here at Webster and delivered an
address before the republican county
convention liz session the same day
Since that time, the speaker went
on, many momentuous events had
taken place, citing among them the
Spanish American war, the PHILIPPINE
instruction, the assassination of the
lamented Mckinley, through which
this country had passed unscathed
until it finally had assumed leading
rank among the powers of the world.
General prosperity has blessed the
nation, prosperity which increased
the gold reserve in the U. S. treas
ury from the $l50,000,0O0 required
by law to $750,000,000 at present
Following in the wake of this great
prosperity came a series of abuses OF
corporate wealth requiring an appli-
cation of what has become known as
the Roosevelt policies and conse
ouent correction of said abuses. The
oil trust, beef trust and lumber trust
were examples. The Roosevelt pol
icy is the compelling of the corpora
ton or individual to conduct their
business within the law instead of in
violation of it. President Roosevelt
having definitely made known that
he would not again be candidate,
it logically follows that Hon. W. a..
Taft was the one above all others to
carry out these policies. He was
the presidents choice as well as the
choice of the people. The speaker
paid a glowing tribute to Senator
Kittredge whom he described as the
best equipped senator now in the
senate, ranking high in the estima
ton of his colleagues and of the
president. 4Ie had attained the
craftsmanship of the committee on
inter oceanic canal by sheer merit,
being acknowledged the best
informed authority on the Panama
canal in the world. He ranks high
on the Judiciary committee, probably
the most important committee in the
senate, and through which passes all
the appointments connected with the
administration of federal justice.
South Dakota would be the loser in
the retirement Of such man merely

GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT PROSECUTE

1t is not likely that any action VIII
be taken by the government in the
case of Asburv Haywood. who was
arrested early this morning by PATROL
man Dutton on a charge Of passing q
counterfeit silver dollar on George
LoDer. colored. It IS said that Hay
wood asked Loper to give him a paper
dollar for the silver piece, saying that
he wanted to 20 to Philadelphia ana
didn't want to carry silver.
When Loper tried to pass the dollar
he found it was counterfeit, and when
he asked Haywood to take it back he
refused.
The government rarely takes up q
case where only one counterfeit piece
was passed. The matter has been re,
ported to the secret service, however.
Haywood is said to be wanted FOR
assault and battery committed a yoai
ago. since which time he has been out
of the city and he will be held on thil
charge by the State authorities.

MILFORD, Del, Sept 19.-After a

In the crowd came Mlclael Millman.

the circus saw him standing near the
tent and approaching him said: "Have
you got any money!" Mr. Millman re-
piled "Yes. a little" How much? ?''
asked the circus man. Here is where
Mr.. Millman made his break ana ar

piled: About $50" The fellow re-

Corrections.

Comrade M. E. Huyette, Buffalo, N.
Y, makes some corrections in the story
of the battle of Antietam. In the first
place, the bunker Church was not a
wooden structure, but brick. He was in
Williams's Division of the Twelfth
Corps, and says that the map of the
battlefield would indicate that his divi-
sion did not pass thru the East Woods
and no part of it south of the Smoke
town Road, and that in its advance it
went between the cornfield and the
Miller Building and struck Jones. Facts
are that the extreme left of Williams S
Division was for time south of the
Smoketown Road. Comrade Huyette
was the left man of Co. B, 125th Pa,
and it advanced thru the East Woods,
and after, passing into the clover field
crossed to the south Of the Smoketown
Road. and did not pass to the north
side therefrom until after passing
Mumma Lane. when they crossed the
Hagerstown pike. and was to the right
Of the bunker Church.

For the Widow.

Mrs. Ella Burnap, Corning, N. Y,
thinks now that the McCumber bill has
given little help to the veteran, that
some one might come to the assistance
of the old widows. most of whom ara
feeble and helpless and are obliged to
get along on $8 or s12 a month. Many
of them are forced to go to the poor
house, which certainly does not seem
right after all they have endured. The
little verse written about the soldier,
she thinks, applies equally to the
widow:
when war was rife
And danger nigh,
God and the soldier
Was all the cry.
When the war was over
And the wrongs were righted,
God was forgotten
And the soldier Sighted"
