again called Adjt. Gen. p. Y. Johnston

Governor Makes Statement.
His statement in part. is as follows:
.'The Russeliy1ie raid was clearly a vio-
Iation Of the promises made by the man
ager of the association in that part of the
State, and was made to hinder the prose-
cution at Hopkinsville by intimidating the
officials and witnesses, but the only result
will be to add new crimes and new Grim
inals. guilty of open felonies similar to
those at Hopkinsville and Princeton. and
/ TO make il hardeF for the tobacco growers
in that region even TO get living prices for
their tobacco; TO further disgrace the
State: infiict further immense destruction
of values OF farms and all property in
/ that district; to destroy the tobacco mar
/ ket there; to oppress and grieve the
people and take away their liberties and
to shake their faith in the protection Of
the laws, and to force capital and valu-
able immigration to shun kentucky. and
all this without the least hope OF chance
to help the men who formed these con
| spiracies or any of their tobacco.

conspiracy and for many of their dupes.
! for though their associations number

! people number hundreds of thousands,
and there can be no possible hope that the

surely must come to pass. in a short time,

understood, and the conscience, duty, and

store the fun and possible power of the

Gov. Wilson was ayakened early to-
day to receive the following telegram
1 from Russellville:
Night riders burned two tobacco fac
tories at this place last night and other
property caught from these and was

THE STATE IS AFTER
LUMBER CORPORATIONS

Pierre. S. D., May 23.-~It will be re-
general Of this state commenced an in
vestigation OF an alleged combination
between certain lumber companies at
Webster in this state. The attorney
general has been at work upon the
evidence adduced in this investigation
and has also gathered considerable
more evidence and has accordingly
commenced proceedings against the
lumber companies for the purpose of
forfeiting their charters and oust them
from doing business in this state These
actions are watched with a great deal
Of interest on the part of the people
MI over the state as II is generally un-
derstood that the lumber business has
been greatly manipulated by price and
trade agreements. 1t has long been
felt that something ought to be done
along this line, but there has always
been a question as to how to get at II.
Attorney General Clark seems to think
that he has solved the proposition and
he is determined to sift the matter to
the very bottom to the end that such
combinations shall no longer deprive
the public Of the benefit of legitimate
competition. The lumber companies in
volved are the Williams Brothers Lum-
ber company. Lampert Lumber COM
pany and John w. Tuthill Lumber COM
pany. We are also informed that the
attorney general has instituted proceed
ings in other counties In the state with
the same end in view.

HEAVY RAINFALL
OVER THE STATE

Huron, S. D., May %. - Weekly
weather bulletin for the week ending
Monday, May IS:
The weather was generally dry until
Wednesday, and also after Friday.
Unsettled and wet weather prevailed

eastern counties on Friday. The rain
that occurred on Wednesday and
Thursday was heavy in the aggregate
over nearly all the state. There was
less than the usual amount of sun
shine. Some high winds occurred over
the central and eastern counties. There
was no frost Some hail, mostly small,

or exceeded so degrees in most places,
the highest recorded being 81 degrees,
at Marion. Turner county, on Tuesday.
slightly below 40 degrees in a number
of places, the lowest recorded being "a
degrees. at Kidder Marshall county, on
Thursday.
The rainfall was more than an inch
over nearly all the state. 1t averaged
much above the normal. The greatest
excess was over portions of the James
river valley, where the amounts in
some counties exceeded four inches.
The largest amount was 525 inches, re-
corded at Mitchell, Dawson county, on

Atchison Globe Sights.

The hardest work in the world is try
ing to be agreeable when you don't feel
like il.
There are lots of ways to get rich,
but the advice of a fortune teller is not
on the list.
The nearer a young person can imi-
tate the SteadinesS of an older person,
the better 1t will be for him.
You will be compelled, finally, to
learn that your opinions do not amount
to much. The sooner you learn this
important fact the better.
There are two times when people
doubt that a man is telling the truth:
One is when he says he is working too
hard, and the other is when he says he
has no time to spare.
You often hear of the man who is
good" around the house; who takes
care of the children at night, and can
even cook a little when the occasion
requires. We may do the good soul
an injustice, but a man of this kind
is seldom great at anything else. A
man can't attend to his own business,
and his wife's too.
Men are something like school girls.
If school girl gets letter from away
off, she will carry it in her books to
school, and use il as a book mark 1t
gives her an air of Importance with her
schoolmates. A man will carry a tele-
gram around with him until II is worn
threadbare, for the same reason.
