that if he heard any one say l was a

anything good about you," he went

good-hearted fellow, which is just
about the same as saying you are no

said, What am / to be when I'm not

at me and says: 81 want you to be

that it will open up just as they

All Fools Day

Yesterday was the First of
April, and it was a great day for
suckers. All the old gags were
sprung, and a few new ones, A
dozen people tried to pick up a
quarter that was securely fastened
to the side walk, one fellow max
ing a second and unsuccessful at
tempt with a pair of pinchers. A
number of the more sympathetic
citizens of the town pulled a
splinter a foot long out of a poor
suffers hand. Others tried to
bandage badly mashed finger.

the excellent quality of the pro-
gram deserved. Those present
were treated to a performance
BY a master hand, for few violin
players have such control of their
instrument as was shown by Chris
tian Hansen.
The program was mostly clas-
sical embracing movements from
such splendid operas as Verdi's
II Travatore. The Witch's Dance"
of Paganini was one of the best
executed numbers of the evenings
entertainment. Others of equal
merit made up the long program,
every number Of which was play
ed with wonderful skill. The
audience showed very plainly ito
high appreciation of the entertain
ment. 1t was unquestionably the
best musical program that has vet
been given in our town.

The homesteaders meeting to he
held here tomorrow has been pref
ty generally advertised through
out the county, and it is believed
that the attendance will be large.
No plans for the meeting or pro-
gram of any kind have been an
nounced yet. Likely mass meet
ing will be held at which there
will be free and general discus
sion of the questions to be con-
sidered.
Meetings have been held in sew
eral precincts of the county for
the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Philip meeting, but
aside from these many others will
attend from the various parts OF
the county and take part.
The stalwart republicans will
also have a meeting sometime dur.
ing the day. The call was sent
out several weeks ago, and a mum.
ber of representative republicans
will be present. Jack Lockhart
of Pierre will address the meeting
Hon. Albert Wheelon of Pierre

w. Martin has promised to come

out highways, are a serious bar to
the development of the country.
For some years in the first set
tlement of Codington and Clark
counties, to my knowledge, no
question as to mans politics was
allowed to be raised in selecting
county officers; the best man for
the place was what was looked for,
and that in my judgment should
be the motto of the agricultural
homesteader at this time. The
man or men who will oppose this
proposition will, as a rule, be
found to be constitutional office
seekers. Relegate all such to the
rear until we shall know more
about them; of course you under
stand that the right to nominate
by petition under the Australian
ballot system as provided by the
Revised Code is not repealed by
the Primary law, but exists as
before; and if mistakes are made
at the primary there will be ample
time to bring out satisfactory can
didates by petition after that and
ample time to canvass and rally
our people to stand together for
our rights and interests.
l have an address written to the
people of Stanley and Lyman
counties which l will launch later
on.
Sincerely yours,
Gen. S. j. Conklin.

sing my humble lay.
On the banks of the Wapka Sheika,

The settlers cried Eureka.

On the stream that ssometimespurlinl
Ofttimes rushing, raging, whirling:
Its turbid waters hurting
GrueSome debris to and fro.
1t was plan and work and hustle.
With the attendant hustle,
With the elements to tussel:

Most people come to stay:

And be a city of beautiful homes.

Commission at Work on Rates

The state board of railroad COM
missioners have been in session at
Sioux Falls most of the week past,
and it is quite generally rumored
that new schedule of rates is be-
ing prepared for the territory
west of the river. 1t comes direct
ly from the most progressive mem
ber of the commission that new
and reduced rates will be put in
force within very short time.
The commission has had the prob
lem under consideration for some
time. and recent remonstranees
against existing schedules have
induced them to take immediate
action.
The commissioners have ad-
journed until April s, and at a
meeting on that date it is believed
that the new rates will be submit
ted to the various traffic managers
for their enforcement. On the
whole it begins to look as if some
thing would be done at last. The
writer confesscs that he has never
been very hopeful, and is not in
clined to be especially hopeful now.
Promises have been made before,
especially by the railroads. 1t may
be that the commission means
business, and that relief will come
at last. Until lower rates are in
force, however, we remain some
thing of doubter.

What the multitude of new settlers

There are four county commits

that fair and honest men be had
for those positions, who will do
their duty, is of the highest im-
