Louis N. Grill, leading democrat
living down in Union county, offers
to donate 800 To prosecute the repub-
lican party for stealing the plat
form OF the democratic party OF
South Dakota, referring to the plat
form the republicans adopted at M Itch
ell last week. Mr.. Grill thinks it was
robbery of the worst sort. Mr.. Grill
should not become so excited about
that platform. The gentlemen who
framed it seemed willing and anxious
to assume the responsibility for 1t,
and as long as the democrats cannot
get into power in this state, they
ought TO feel highly honored to see
their principles put into action even
though they claim the right OF discov.
cry for what has been enunciated. i
the republican platform is so demo
cratic, what's the use of the democrats S
making any bluff at all in trying &c
elect ticket2 They might as well
join the big majority and save trouble

Elk POINT 10; AKRON 0

Our bal team journeyed' to Akron, L.,
Friday, to try conclusions with the am
hitious nine of that enterprising burg on
their own grounds. Our boys were
troubled with the painful recollection
that last year they lost every game but
one on the Akron grounds. They broke
the hoodoo in good style this year and
on Friday at that. Nothing was TOO
hot or too high for Elk Points speedy In
field. Muggsey pitched shut out game,
which was made possible by splendid
support. In the second Steckman cut
off line drive and in the same inning
Naughton gathered in one from Bakers
bat, either one Of which would ordi-
narily be reckoned safe hits. In the
fourth jacobson put to rest Swift's mag
nificent attempt at 3-bagger and In the
ninth Fickey at second stopped Whites
hot grounder that looked good 70 Akron.
Nothing got past the boys and they have
"a perfect game to their credit. Akron
played good ball, but was outclassed. In
the fourth Steckman got hit In the jaw
by hot grounder and for the rest Of
the game snapped places with Fickey.

SAME AS IN 1896

About Bill Bryan, may his tribe de-
crease,
Awoke OF night from deep dream
of peace;
And saw within the moonlight of his
room,
Making it silver and like flower in
bloom,
An angel writing in book of gold.
Exceeding gall had made Bill Bryan
bold,
And to The presence in the room he
said
"What writest thou?' The vision
raised it's head,
And with a look of what you might ex-
pect,
Answered. "Their names, who'll get it
In the neck"
And Is mine one?" said Bryan, II
don't know"
Replied the angel. Bryan spoke more
low
But cheerily still, and said, II pray
you sir,
Write me as one not liable to err"
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night
He came again, with great November
light,
And showed the names OF those knock
ed gslley-west,
And 10! Bill Bryan's name led all th'
reet. Exchange.

+. w. Ellis, Qnsurgent) Elk Point
In my opinion the primary election law
is decided success. BY It every voter
has an equal right With every other
voter In deciding who shall be the can
didates, from United States senator
down to county officials: by it the bur-
dens and responsibilities Of govern.
ment revert back 10 the people, who
alone should be responsible for the
conduct of their own affairs: and by 1t
bribery and graft are practically elm
mated, because all the people cannot
be bribed. The present law may moi
be perfect, but It can and will probably
be amended from time to time to meet
new conditions, and / believe it can be
perfected to such degree that ever
it's present opponents will call it good
law. The cry that democrats vote In
republican primaries, and vice versa
was disproved in our recent election.

Just Suppose That Johann hoch ant
Mrs. Guinness Had Met.

MTS. AuHnSSS rIdu Met.
"If the paths Of Johann Hoch and
Mrs. Belle Guinness had crossed and
each had conspired to take the life and
worldly possessions of the other, each
ignorant of the others plot, the psyche
logical developments and result would
have interested criminologists."
The above statement Is the substance
of hypothetical proposition originated
by Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles Pc
ters, who finds what he considers strik-
ing parallelisms In the lives and rec
ords of these two persons.
"It would have been interesting" he
said, "from chronological viewpoint
to watch a contest between Mrs. Gun
ness and Hoch had they met as re-
suit Of matrimonial advertisement of
the woman and their schemes had
crossed wires.
"She was female Hoch, and he was
male Guinness. He watched the
death notices of men and found out
| who of them were insured and married
the widows whenever he could, put
ting them out Of the way to get the
| insurance money.
Mrs. Guinness, according to the re-
| ports, advertised for well to do hus-
| bands, stating that she was comely
and possessed of fortune, and after
getting one would put him out of the
way for his money.
Suppose, now, that Hoch had seen
one Of her advertisements, answered
it and meeting had been arranged
She would have had In her mind
Hoch's money, and Hoch would have
/ had in his mind her money. Then
| would have come the contest, each

her cleverness to get the better Of the
| other.
1T would have beaten, / believe, any

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNALS SYMpOSI
I'M ON OUR PRIMARY LAW

The Minneapolis Journal of last Sun
day had a symposium on our primary
law, representative men from different
parts OF the state and of ali shades of
political opinion, giving their view of
the practical workings of that law at
It's first trial last month. AS was to be
expected. republicans are badly divid-
ed as 10 it's practical worth. The dem
ocrats are united in thinking that any
republican primary law is very bad
| thing and that they could fix up one
that would be just right If the people
| would only entrnst them with the job!
Following are the two views Published
| from this county.
A. Martin, (Stalwart) Former Rep
sentative, Elk PoinL-The primary
election law is unsatisfactory and the
| more the people learn about it the less
! they like it. The March primaries in
years OF presidential elections are OBJ
| jected to as being a poor substitute for
lhe caucus. The expenses to capdi-
dates for IA nomination for congress or
state office promises to be so great
| that none but those of independent
means can afford TO enter the race.
| Objection is made TO shifting part OF
the expense OF party nominations frcm
those who interest themselves in poll
tics to the average taxpayer who is not
inclined to take an active part.

David Walters, an old pioneer who
lives south of town, was returning from
Sioux City Friday afternoon. When a
mile or two this side Of the Sioux bridge
his horses met an automobile owned by
George Weare and became unmanage-
able. Mr.. Walters was thrown out and
his leg broken near the left hip, He was
taken back to the city and is being cared
for at the ST. Vincent's hospital. AL
though about so years old it is thought
he has good chance for recovery.
Monday morning, while helping to
load some piling in the city railroad
yards, a rope broke and big oak piling
IA inches in diameter, fell on Andrew
A. Peters, who was assisting in the
loading. His jaw was broken in four
places, several teeth were knocked out,
there is a fracture at the base Of the
brain and one shoulder is broken, Mr..
and placed in hospital Much to the
surprise OF the physicians and every
body else, there seems TO be a chance
for his recovery if no hing new and
wrong sets in. He has regained con-
sciousuess, expects to sit up some to-
day and the prospect seems to be that
he will be recovered from the shock
enough in day or Two to be operated
upon. He is u strong, able bodied man,
yet that he has any possibility of re.
covery seems little less than miracu-
lous.
AS the train rushing into Sioux Citr
with Mr.. Peters was passing crossing
