City Elections

Reports from city elections held
throughout the state last Tuesday
indicate that small vote was pol
led in most instances. A number
of towns cast of the river came
into the prohibition camp for the
first time. Mitchell. Miller and
Canton are now among the dry
towns. West of the river such
towns as Sturgis, Spearfish and
Lead went wet by narrow margins,
the two first mentioned places both
giving a majority of less than
thirty votes for the saloon. Hugh
Jefries, editor of the Stock Grow
ers News, was defeated for mayor
of Fort Pierre. L. B. Wadleigh
defeated L. H. Glow for mayor of
Pierre. The defeated candidate is
the father of United States Com
missioner Byron L. Glow of this
place:

New Roads to be Laid Out

Petitions have been presented to
the board of supervisors asking
that three public highways leading
into Philip be opened up next
month. The first hearing on the
petitions was had Tuesday night,
and a second meeting at which OBJ
jections to the proposed highways
will be heard and considered was
called for Tuesday evening May 5.
At that time final action will be
taken by the board.
The nort}, road rs surveyed will
strike the section line northwest
of the head of Larimer avenue,
and will follow that line except
where there is a slight deviation
three quarters of a mile north of
town in order to avoid a hill. The
county surveyor assures us that
the line surveyed is the most
practicable means of reaching the
town from the north.
The proposed road running
northeast of town has also been
surveyed and will run east parellel
with the railroad right of way
about twenty RODS and then turn
north SO as to strike the public
road already laid out, near Joe
Hospodorsky's house.
The road running south of
town will follow a line directly
from the east side of the town
site to the Bad River bridge and
will then angle south and east
across the places of +. f. Nor
rison, Ed Morgan and Louis Shaw
until it strikes the half section line
and thence due south. This route
will present a feasible means of
approach from the south.

Will Be Here Next Saturday

Word was received here a few
days ago that Senator A. B. Kit
tredge had responded to the urgent
invitation of friends in this part
of the state, and had consented to
speak at Philip on Saturday eve
ming, April 25. Senator Kittrcdgc
has just finished a speech making
tour of the Hills, and has thus far
found the west end of the state
full of enthusiasm for his re-elec-
ton to the Senate for another term,
Every day the tide turns more and
more in his direction. Two years
ago the insurgents had three
fourths of the delegates in the
state convention, two weeks ago
at the last convention they had
only a bare working majority.
This merely indicates the decided
change ir sentiment that is sweep
ing over the state.
A good crowd ought to turn out
to hear the address that will he
made. 1t VIII be a sane clear pre-
sentation of all the issues of the
campaign. 1t will be honest and
straight forward, and as free from
abuse of the opposition as the fair
est minded man could wish. You
will not hear a single abusive ut
terance or epithet applied to Gov
ernor Crawford or his followers.
A hearty invitation is extended
to the voters Of all factions and
beliefs to attend the meeting next
Saturday night. An especially
urgent request is extended to those
who reside in the country. Turn
out and help us give our dis
tinguishcd visitor a hearty vel
come.

Prairie Fires

The past week was remarkable
for the number Of prairie fires re-
ported from all parts of the state.
The loss east of the river was
probably the largest ever report
ed for any equal period of time.
Far in the northeastern part of
the state prairie fires, raging with
terrible fury, crossed the Jim riv-
er in a hundred places, something
that has seldom occurred before.
Several cities were threatened
with disaster, among others Huron
In that town every able bodied per-
son was called out to fight the
tiames.> Hundreds of head Of
stock and many tons of hay were
destroyed in that locality. A fire
covering large extent Of territory
was also reported from Sully
county.
Here west of the river, though
the damage was naturally not as
great, the fires were no less num-
erous or extensive than east of
the Missouri. Last Tuesday fire
started on the Cheyenne river and
swept over vast area of country
until it reached Mitchell creek and
was put out, when within five
miles Of Midland. Later OH in the
week a fire started in the ncighbor-
hood Of Peno Springs in Penning-
ton county and swept thirty five
miles eastward past Grindstone.
Numerous other fires were report
ed from various parts of the coun-
ty. In some localities one may
look off to the horizon in any di-
rection and see nothing save the
blackened prairie, with here and
there a settlers shack saved by a
fire break. All the settlers, how
ever, were not so fortunate as to
escape with their shacks and stacks
of hay.
Possibly the county has never
before been so thoroughly burned
over. A conservative estimate
places the burned territory at over
Il million acres. This will serious
ly cut into the feed and hay crop
for the coming year.
Most of the fires were started
accidently, of course. The heavy
wind carried sparks. from stove
pipes, and once the fame was
started carried it along at race
horse speed. 1t is generally believ-
cd that many people are not as
careful with fire rs they ought to
lie. Coming here from the east
crn states where prairie fires are
unknown, they put out fires with
a recklcssness thoroughly fool
hardy in a prairie country like ours.
Last Thursday warrants were
sworn out for certain parties in
the neighborhood of Hayes, who
set fires in the fields where they
were doing breaking, and allowed
the flames to get beyond their con-
troll, burning over a large area.
The sheriff went out after the
parties, but nothing has been
learned of the results of his search.
There is a heavy fine and Jail SEN
tence provided by statute for set
ting prairie fires, and few pros
ecutions might not be q very bad
thing.

A Woman of Mystery


The Grand opera house was for
mally opened last night with Miss
Courtneay Morgan in the title role
of "A Woman of Mystery - A
good audience was present, and
when the curtain fell on the last
act, there was a general murmur
of approval. We voice the un-
qualified opinion of all those who
were present, when we say that
Miss Morgan and her support gave
us the best performance that has
ever been seen in our town We
are sorry that the limits on our
space prevent US from giving our
readers a critical estimate of Miss
Morgan's rather unusual ability.
In trying to arrive at a proper ap-
probation of her acting, we found
ourselves likening her to half
dozen other women who have gain
ed ten times her fame Let us pre-
dict that she will rise in favor with
a larger public as the seasons go
by. She has fine control of her.
self all the time. Her grace and
bearing are that of a carefully
trained artist, but she has the
good sense never to overdo the at
tidude and gesture business. Her
voice last night was not in perfect
condition, but no one remembered
that two minutes after the curtain
was up and she began speaking
with her face as we'll as her voice.
1t may be that she is too intense
in some of the more tragic parts;
possibly the scenes could be more
evenly balanced, but be that as it
may, we predict that it will be a
good many days before a more
finished artist than Miss Morgan
comes to our town.
Many things commendable could
be said of the other actors in the
cast. They all furnished remark
able support considering the gen.
eral excellence of Miss Morgan's
work. Much could also be said
of the splendid costumes, but a
lamentable ignorance of the tech
mic Of the dressmaker's art
keeps us from venturing far in
that direction. The dresses were
attractive, however, and a d de d
materially to the charm of the play.
A flower and food sale was held
by the ladies of the Presbyterian
church last Saturday. 1t was a
successful affair, netting the pro-
moters a neat sum of money,
which will be added to the building
fund of the church.
