PIERRE, s. d., Aug. n.-(special Tele-
gram.)-Thomas H. Ayres today, acting for
the democratic state committee, took a new
tack in the effort to get a state demo-
cratic ticket on the November ballot. He
presented to State Secretary Wipf the list
of name selected at Rapid City as nomi-
noes Of a democratic CONVENTION and asked
that they be placed on the ballot in No
vember as such. The secretary declined to
so file the names on the ground that a dem
ocratic ticket had been, selected at the prl-
maries. Anticipating such, action Attorneys
Nun and Lynch OF Huron had been re-
tanned in ADVANCE to bring suit in the SUI
preme court to compel the acceptance OF
the names. A writ VIII be asked for within
a day or two to bring the whole matter to
a test in the court.

DODGE STREET DUST DOOMED

POPULAR APPEAL Is ANSWERED

Cloud of Dust which Has

The dust OF West Dodge street Is doomed
to disappear. The city council has de-
creed that 1t shall be laid low and Street
Commissioner Flynn has been designated
as the man to lay It. The dust is to be
laid gradually and slowly, the process to
last for a week. The work will begin
Wednesday morning and Friday, August

street which nave caused so much an

and that day will henceforth be known as

from its lowly position under the wheels
Of swiftly passing automobiles and the
slower trucks and drays and stray into the
eyes and nostrils Of the inoffensive citi-
zen.
Dodge street, between Fortieth and
Forty eighth, is macadamized, the mac
adam being nothing but pounded limestone
which Is easily transformed into unadul-
terated dust which is light as air and
remains in the air from one days end to
the next days close. The street is one of
the principal thoroughfares leading to the
city from the farming community and
therefore there is constant travel on 1t.
Automobiles find It an excellent speed
way as we'll. The result has been thai
the dust has been constantly stirred and
people living on the street could not open
their doors or windows or sit out under
the trees on their lawns because Of It. In
fact. the dust has become so bad that II
is said tina many trees are being killed
by It.

The formal opening Of the reunion took
place at 2 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. Many
old veterans are already on the grounds

to lay the dust and cool off the atmos-
pbere. ;
The opening address Of Tuesday after
noon was delivered by Rev. B.. F.. Kistler
of Benson, who extended a welcome to the
veterans and predicted for them a most
enjoyable reunion.
There was no program Tuesday even
ing. except an informal campfire in the big
tent. The grounds were lighted with inoan-
descent electric lamps and an abundance
OF excellent water was provided, as we'll as
fuel free for all that want It.
Banners are suspended over each Of the
main entrances to the camp, bearing the
name OF the camp. The city OF Benson ls
also decorated in patriotic colors and BAN

Demand for Action.

Finally a mighty murmer arose and grow
ing louder resolved itself into a demand
that the council do something. This 1t has
done by appropriating $3.50 for the buy of
tarolium to spread on the street and keep
the dust where It belongs. The sum Is
insufficient and Street COMMISSIONS Flynn
has consented to duplicate the amount out
Of his funds. This $500 will buy enough taro-
lium to lay the dust on the street until
nature and snow accomplishes It In the
winter. Next year something else will have
to be done.
City Engineer Rosewater will begin the
repair Of the holes In the street en- Wednes-
day. This work, together with rounding
up the street, will take the rest OF the
week. Monday the street commissioner will
begin laying the first coat of tarolium. A
couple of days will be allowed to lapse be-
fore the second coat is laid, and he says
that by Friday dust on West Dodge street
will have become a thing Of the past.

but nothing more will be done until II is

sides of the boulevard were not left dry
for the accommodation Of the automobiles.
as thought by some, as automobiles can
run on a street treated with tarolium as
on streets not covered with 1t. Tarolium
was laid on a small patch OF asphalt paw
ing, but this has been found to be worse

No complaint has been recorded against
the taroBum on macadamized streets, as
there IL lays, tight nd is not tpteked up by
passing Vehicles.
Tarolium is made from waste products
and smells strongly OF a conglomeration OF
gasoline. kerosene. burned grease and sew

smell Is nauseating, but the street commits

a couple of hours and that it is not then

as the smell of the tarolium is much sim

In which nine Chinese sat from q.

morning, was conducted for anything
else than pleasure In fact, the po-

they knew what the game was, and
one of the prisoners, after his case
had been nolle prosd., had to be call
ed to the stand to explain the nature
of the play.
But, rs 1t was seen that money had
changed hands, and the witness was
positive that this had not been the
case, he began to get tangled in his
own talk, and the whole bunch was
found guilty.
An appeal was taken in the case.
