The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1908-10-09

Eugene Chain, when he spoke in
Mitchell Wednesday, said, in closing
his address, that lie would never
again run as a presidential candi-
date for any party, and that if any
body wanted to vote for him they
would have to do it this year., adding
you can vote for Bryan any old
time" Mr.. Chain was something of
an innovation as a prohibition can
didate, for they have been in the
past sort of an easy going PROPOSE
ton, but he showed that he had the
fight in him and could give and take
with the best of them. We don't
know as he made any votes for the
party he represents, but at least he
created a greater feeling for him
self than vas prevalent before he
came.

democracy on election day.
The president has decided not I

The president has decided not to
make answer to Mr.. nryan's attack
on him personally, as he says he is
not an issue in the presidential cam
paign. The president desires to
create the impression and make it
lasting that he wants his policies
continued and carried to the ulti-
mate end. He started the candidacy
of Judge Taft, and he is going to see
it through to the end. 1t is not at
all pleasing to Mr.. Bryan for the
white house to help out a friend, but
in his Ire distress to win votes we
do believe that Mr.. Bryan would
receive aid from any source that ten
ded to help him out. The president
has given Mr.. Bryan something to
think about until election day, after
which he can rest in %seclusion.

''Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up un-
til your friends are dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak approx
ing cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them; the kind things you mean to say
when they are gone, say before they
go The flowers you mean to send for
their collins, send to brighten and
sweeten their homes before they leave
them.
eff my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes
of sympathy and affection, which
they intended to break over my dead
body, would rather they would
bring them out in my weary and
troubled hours, and open them, that
may be refreshed and cheered by them
while l need them. 1 would rather
have plain coffin without flower,
funeral without an eulogy, than life
without the sweetness of love and
sympathy.
LET us learn to annoint our friends
beforehand for their burial. Post-mor-
tenn kindness does not cheer the troub-
led spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast
no fragrance backward over life's
weary way. Author unknown.

15s Key to a Successful Business.

1t is with much pride and pleasure
that we call the attention of our many
readers to the large attractive adver-
tisements from Englewood merchants
found in this issue of the Tribune. If
you are not reader of advertisements
1T will pay you to form the habit. Ad-
vertising pays in four ways, viz, it
pays the merchant, because he gets to
place before the intelligent public his
wares and their qualities, together
with his price which always attracts
attention. 1t pays the reader because
it shows where the articles needed may
be bought and the cost of same. It
pays the town to have live merchants
who advertise because it enables the
community to have weekly historian
that records the events of interest to
her citizens and those who do their
buying and selling in that town. 1t
pays the editor because it enables him
to publish a good readable paper and
it helps him to pay his expenses for
help, material and living. Advertise
ments are the thermometers by which
the public judges town, and where
the merchants are t'grouchy" with
their advertising patronage in their
home paper, the public forms the
opinion that the town is not much
force. Advertising is the key to sue
cess, commercially and otherwise, and
it is an investment that always brings
ample returns. Clark, Co. Tribune.

The special session of the Kansas
legislators had to draw the line on new
bills being introduced, but they had not
the least trouble in suspending the
rules long enough to pass bill appro-
priating a 81 postage allowance for
each Senator and 81 for each Repre-
sentative. Every little helps, but if
the session runs much longer the rules
will have to be suspended again to vote

corner of Court and Pacific streets and
rents room on the top floor Of the house at
AS Atlantic avenue. About six months
ago Sherman, who was then living with a
family OF the name Of Oxenhorn at Pacific
and Court streets, began to drop in at the
saloon every morning. On one Of these
visits he asked Weninger IL he knew OF any
good boarding house In the neighborhood
where he could get a room. AS Sherman
was a respectable looking person Weninger
did not hesitate to recommend him to Mrs.
Charles Reddin. who rents rooms on the
first and second floors Of the house where
Weninger lives. Mrs. Reddin was also salts
fed with Sherman's appearance and gave
him a room At this time Sherman worked
as waiter in the Hoffbrau House in Fulton

the money and paid no more attention to
the affair. When an equal amount Of
money was missing the following morning
Weninger suspected that he was being
robbed, and his suspicious were confirmed
the next day when q new suit Of clothes and
more money were missing. He went at
once to Perry's Detective Agency. at $50

detailed to watch his room every night.

Weninger told his fellow boarders of his
losses. Sherman thereupon described in
such detail a man whom he said he had
seen sneakng about Weninger's room
that Weninger became suspicious Of Sher-
man himself. He told Kelly Of this sus-
picion when the latter went on duty in his
room Sunday night. Nothing occurred

Shortly after O'Clock last night some

in the rear Of the Aberdeen reported to j. w.
McGrath. in charge of the hotel. that the
fire was in the hotel McGrath at once
telephoned to all the guests Of the hotel to
upstairs to see where the fire was.
There is a court ten feet in width separat-
ing the hotel from the burning house, and
as the wind was from the north it brought
the flames unoomfortably close to the
hotel. which rapidly filed with smoke.
Guests began to get down to the ground
floor at once and McGrath finally turned
out the hotel fire brigade and had the m

'Appealss Alleging Unfair Trial and en-,
creased Sentence"

\ WASHINGTON. Aug. k-Albert T. Patrick,
scouvicted Of themurder of William Marsh
! Rice IN New York City some years ago.
has fled an appeal with Tho United States
Supreme Court. PatEiok's appeal, pre-
pared by him In Sing Sing. was received
at the offioe Of The Supreme Court to-day
and docketed for bearing at the fan term.
which begins in October.
Patrick appeals from the decision Of
Judge Lacombe Of Che United StatealC Circuit
Court for the Southern District Of New
York. who denied the convicted mans
application for release from Sing Sing on
o writ OF habeas corpus-
Patrick's appeal Is based on many
grounds among them q claim Of an unfair
trial, inasmuoh as 1t IL alleged a powerful
the trial Judge; DISTRICT Attorney jerome,
the Grand Jurors and others prominent
politically. socially and professionally
Another claim Of Patrick is that the Gov
ernor Of New York increased the sentence
imposed on him by the Court by making
tt life imprisonment instead Of electroou-
ton. In this connection Patrick makes
the argument that life imprisonment in
a New York prison is far more severe as a
form OF punishment than eleotrocuton.
Patrioks appeal, bearing his signature
alone. covers about fifty pages. It came
by mail and was dooketed in the usual
manner.
