The verandah social, which was held

music was especially pleasing, adding
good cheer to the merry company on the
verandah. Inside the building contests
in bowling proved enticing to the young
people. Sufficient ice cream was sold
to make the event profitably increase
the "library fund. The ladies wish

There is no doubt about it, The
United States never has had and prob
ably never viii have an army until
after war is declared; which, strictly
speaking, is about the only time when
a nation ever has much need of an
army. A standing army in time Of
peace may be laborously drilled for
live years and it is no better then than
an army of American volunteers drill

soldiers in either case, and nothing will
make them so but actual warfare. The
things that are taught a soldier III times

complicated; and the American youth
who is making his way against the

than the German conscript who is com,

The Majesty of the Law.

The conviction OF Banker Walsh iI

Walsh was a great banker He was
the owner of a large newspaper. He
stood high in the world Of finance and
politics. He was so jealous Of the
national honor that he deserted first the
Bryan standard when Mr.. Bryan was

democratic party because the party re-
manned true to Organism even after
Bryan's defeat. When finally Walsh's

Nature Story.

A tiger is running at large in the
state of Indiana, escaped from circus.
Here is an illustration of how nature
stories are made.
1t stands to reason that the tiger
must eat, and he is not a vegetarian,
SO every citizen of that'part of Indiana
who finds bone arrives by natural
process of deduction at the conclusion
that the bone is the leayings Of one of
the tigers bloody feasts. 1t was newt
able that pretty soon bone would be
found that bore resemblance to hu-
man bone, and so it has come to pass.
Somebody found bone and an expert
pronounced it the thigh bone Of child
not more than years of age.
The chain of circumstance and corro.
borative evidence is complete to show
that the child was eaten by tiger
that is to say, complete in all but one
respect, towit: The children of the
community are all present and ac-
counted for. Not one of the young
sters in that end of Indiana will have
the goodness to turn up missing aud
thus help to complete a scientific chain
OF circumstance. But for this trivial
yet annoying defect we would have q
complete and typical nature story.
But, even in its defective state, it
serves as an illustration of how nature
stories are made.

Huron, $. D., Jan. IS. Special: Ac-
cording to a report maae ny w. H..
Smith, of this city, grain auditor for
the Van Dusen Elevator company,
South Dakota has harvested the most
valuable crop she has ever raised. A!
i though the number of bushels did not

| farmers got prices that more than
made up for this deficiency. On ac.
count of favorable conditions greater
per cent, of the 1907 crop has been de.
| livered than in any previous year, with
the exception of corn. The following
is report of the South Dakota 1907
crop:

Income Tax Receipts.


Income tax receipts by the state for
the year 1907 amounted to $5,9I9.25.
The payments OF these taxes to the
state by the counties are supposed to
be made twice each year, button account
of disagreement between the state aud
counties as to collection fees, they have
been strung out for the year. The to-
tai receipts for the fiscal year ending
June 30 last were Si1, ,73O. OF this most
came in the first half of the calendar
year 1907 For that time the receipts
were S75.02 in February; $3lO57 in
March; $6l2.7S for April, $500 for
May, and $9l.0O for June. The last
half of the year made showing Of
$5,S3l.54 for October; $S32.32 for Nov
ember, and Sl,172l2 for December,
bringing nearly five thousand dollars of
the total for the year for these three

Will Ask for County Division.

The question of the division Of Butte
county is being agitated by the resi-
dents OF Lennon, the new town on
the Milwaukee road in the northeast
part of that county, according to a
Pierre dispatch. They want the coun-
ty divided on the line between ranges
nine and ten, which would give them q
new county sxty-fve miles long aud
forty five miles wide and being the
only railroad town in the territory they
believe they would be selected as the
seat OF the county government But
Lennon is on the extreme northern
line OF the proposed new county; so
near the line in fact that one Of it's
streets is on the state line; and is only q
few miles from the east line of such q
county. While at present there are no
towns off the railway in the proposed
territory, there are several trading
points which could be easily worked up
into go ID towns Of sufficient i'm portance
to desire county seat honors, and before
any such move ever got far under way,
some of them would no doubt be in the
lleld ready to contest with LENNON for
the seat Of county government. So
long as there is no further railway
building in Butte county it is not likely
that there will be any attempt to
surther divide the western part of the
county, but with a arailway either across
or through it, the movement would
certainly come.
