1t is claimed that 1000 landseek-

participated in the Rosebud reslslra-

bucked against the sure thing

the region just now. Probably there
will be much sympathy expressed for
the victims of the gamblers, but real

AS figured out by London An
swers. the annual cost Of running"
a battleship II the Dreadnough class.
IS 100000 a year, Of which $780,
coo goes to the officers TO- salaries
and wages. Ammunition in time of
peace costs 100000 a year, the ex-
pense of necessary target practice
being very heavy. Victualing fuel.
etc, make up the balance. Esti
mating the original cost OF these
ships at $7,500.00O, and allowing
a life OF 20 years, the cost from the

somewhat, but this is the first esti-
mate of the year.

Chairman Mack of the democratic
national committee, has remarked
that the law requiring publicity of
campaign funds would be easy to
evade.' 1t is therefore proposed by
the Bryan committee to publish only
such donations as are made directly
to the national committee; these do
nations which come from the state
committees will simply be listed as
so much from such and such state,
and so any corporation which wants
TO elect Bryan. In order to put a
stop to any anti-corporation legis-
lation, may subscribe through a
state committee and not be publish
ed. Mr.. Bryan started off to make
a great issue OF campaign publicity,
but he has quit it, and anybody can
subscribe any amount and have no
fears of unpleasant publicity. Chair
man Mack will take care of this,
and Mr.. Bryan, who has become a
time-seryer. will cause no trouble.

Hon. Robert s. Vessey will be the
next governor Of South Dakota.
This is one OF the certainties. No
intelligent voter Of the state has any
donbt of it. 1t is only question
Of plurality. There are strong and
urgent reasons why the republican
vote for governor should be larse.
He is a better, broader and more
representative man than any OF his
opponents. He will be governor Of
all the people, and OF all section.
OF the state. On the vote for COVER

FIVE YEARS FOR J. r. WALSH.
Former Chicago Banker Is Denied
New Trial and Sentenced.

Chicago, Mar. 14.-John r. Walsh
was denied new trial by Judge A.
B. Anderson in the federal court Fri
day and was sentenced to five years
in the government prison at Fort
Leavenworth.
The sentence was five years on each
count on which the president of the
old Chicago National bank was con-
victed, but it is to run concurrently.
Little time was lost by Attorney
Miller in presenting the assignment
of errors, already drawn up, to Judge
Grosscup, as a judge of the United
States circuit court of appeals. At
torney Miller asked the court to grant
a writ of error and issue writ of
supersedeas staying the execution of
the sentence of the federal district
court until after the appeal had been
determined. The stay order was en-
tered without question by Judge
Grosscup and the bond was fixed at
$4,000, the same amount which has
held through the trial. The bond was
signed by the Illinois Surety company,
which was on the old bond. The ap-
peal is expected to be taken up at the
October term of court and at least
until then Mr.. Walsh will be free from
the necessity of attending court or
serving sentence behind barred doors.
