COLLEGE BOY.

The company presenting ''The Col
lege Boy which comes to the Grand
opera house, Saturday, Oct. "a, con-
tains many well known fun makers
and vocalists, chief of whom is Rex
Wilson, the wonderful dancer, and no
better vehicle for their efforts could
be found. The comedy element pre-
dominates the action of the piece from
beginning to end and as every mem
ber of the cast is a cOmedian-fun
fast and furious, is the result. The
female contingent is made up of pretty
girls who know how to dance and
sing. Their costumer are gorgeous in
the the extreme and the management
claims the entire show to be unsur-
passed by any similar organization.

preparation for few years at least in
the marvellous opportunities and the
serious problems of this, another Ok
lahoma, a territory twice the size of
our whole Baptist missionary field in
Cuba to which we are rightfully send
ing thousands of dollars.
The whole convention was charac-
terized by interest. The themes were
well chosen and comprehensive of
chief Importance to the denomination.
The speakers brought to the conven-
tion the inspiration which comes from
worldwide sympathies. The attend
.ance was not so large as was expect
ed or the high character of the pro-
gram warranted. The number of
delegates from considerable distances
was good, but delegates from churches
near at hand were not present-for
there are almost no Baptist churches
near Pierre. A great territory is here
religiously destitute.
The South Dakota convention is
blessed with wise and aggressive
leadership; it's churches have fine
body OF pastors. The missionary op-
portunities are great, the leaders are
ready to avail themselves of them, all
that is i4eeded is a fuller missionary
fund. Dry farming may succeed on

POPULATION ESTIMATES.

Doane Robinson has been making
population estimates, and based his
figures upon the school census, using
the same ratio between school popu-
lation and total population, as was
shown by the 1905 census of the state.
On that basis, with Indians consider
ed to be just the same in number as
they were in 1905, the population OF
the state is 800 ,006. Stanley county
leads them all in increase, showing
2G49 population in 1905, and 20,29S at
the present time. The estimates show
that while the newer counties Of the
northern and western portions Of the
state have all increased, the counties
OF the southeastern portion Of the
state generally have such materials
about buildings.

He knows from personal experience
what it means to start from the bot
tom of the ladder, and it is to his
credit that he has been able to climb
the ladder, rung by rung. He knows
from personal experience what it
means to lay by money, and in the
accumulation TO deprive himself of
many of the the things which other
young men regarded as necessities.
He got his start in life by husband
ing the resources gotten together by
the hardest Kind of work. For a per-
iod Of quarter of a century he has
resided at Washington Springs, and
it is significant of what sort of man
he is that none are more eXtrayagant
in his praise than his neighbors who
have been intimately associated with
him during the twenty-five years Of
his residence AT Washington Springs.
Not until four years ago did Mr..
Vessey take any active part in poll
tics. Then he was elected to the
state senate from Jerauid and Buffalo
counties. which were included in the
district. Two years ago he was re-
elected.
In both sessions he was one of those
who zealously supported all measures
which involved the principle Of per
mitting the people to rule. He was
one of the active and influential mem
bers, and was honored and respected
by all political opponents alike. This
was due to the industry and faithful
ness with which he discharged his
duties to the people of his district and
the state.
Among the measures which he in
troduced was one compelling cam
paign committees to keep accounts of
expenses and make public report of
them, and one giving the state board
of railroad commissioners power to
compel railroad companies to con-
strnct connecting tracks at intersect-
| ing points and establish Joint through
! rates.
Robert S. Vessey has done himself
| honor in his own life and as governor
of South Dakota will ref ect addition
al honor upon himself, the republi-
can party of South Dakota and the
people of the state in general.
He is temperance man, but not a
prohibitionist.
1t is pleasure to throw ones in
fluence in favor of a man who so
eminently embodies all that goes to
make up the ideal citizenship of an
American gentleman.

RUSHING ALLOTTING WORK.

Allotting Agent Deets, in charge of
the work. on the Cheyenne River
agency, while in the city Sunday, re-
ported his force at work along the
Moreau river at present, clearing up
the work along that stream this fall,
50 there will be no delay caused by
attempting to work along the stream
next spring or early summer, when it
often is a dangerous or impossible
stream to cross. Mr.. Deets reports
the work of allotment to be progress
ing in satisfactory manner, and that
while the older Indians are making
their selections along the streams
where wood and water is plenty and
easy to get, the younger and more
progressive Indians are taking their
selections on what they believe to be
the best farming lands OH the reserve.
Their theory being that their land will
be far more valuable in later years
than that along the breaks of the
streams. The reservation generally
is good upland prairie, with little
gumbo except along the Moreau river,
and as the tract TO be opened is prac-
tically three times the size of Tripp
county, the northern part Of the state
will see a land rush next fall which
promises to put the Tripp county
proposition OF this wear in a small
item class.

MAN FOR SHERIFF.

j. W. Laughlin is the regular re-
publican nominee for sheriff, and it
is said that he is practically certain
of election. There has never been
any question Of the faithful way in
which he performed the duties Of the
Office where sheriff in years that have
long since passed. Early residents
Of the county appreciate the manner
in which he conducts the business
affairs of the Office, and the economi-
cal manner it was transacted. A vote
for Laughlin is vote for economy,

SIOUX MAY GIVE TROUBLE.

Word has been received that an
outbreak of Sioux Indians is likely to
occur at Fort Yates, N. d., if the
bodies are removed from Indian
graves there.
With intentions of abandoning the
post an order was recently made to
remove all bodies in the cemetery.
The principal objection to the remov-
al is said to be the fact that Sitting

lie was born on farm in Winnebaeo
county, Wisconsin, near Oshkosh.
HIS only opportunity to secure an
education was in the common schools

Robert Vessey therefore is a dis

prospered, it has been the result OF
