get in ahead of them. Such an oppor-
tunity is now offered to you and You
should not turn il aside lightly. 1T

is an investment as safe as any bank
can give you and with much greater

Incorporation Close at Hand

w. +. Harrell was in Fort Pierre
yesterday for the purpose of pre-
senting a petition to the county
commissioners asking for . special
election to give the people of our
town an opportunity to determine
whether or not they shall become
an incorporated body. The steps
preliminary to the presentation of
the petition have all been properly
taken, and the special election will
more than likely be called rs de-
sired.
If no complications or delays
arise it is quite possible that our
first election will be held some-
time in August. At that time
trustees, a treasurer, a clerk and
other officers of the town will be
elected. After that it is proposed
to take steps to organize the town
into city of the third class, if it
seems expedient to do so.

Glow Disappears

Byron L. Glow, United States
Commissioner, who has heretofore
always been in Philip, has myster-
iously disappeared. He left his
Office Monday night at a late hour
and has not been seen since. In
quiry 1t the Office brings the un-
satisfactory information from the
stenographer in charge that Mr..
Glow is out of town. Inyestiga-
tion at the commissioners home

missing man is not continuously
residing there. Mr.. Glow is said
to have told = friend that he ex-
pected to 60 to Chamberlain, but
no one in that town had seen him
1t Z late hour this afternoon. The
Des Moines police are unable to

An Extreme DrOuth at Fort Pierre

Fort Pierre, county seat of the
Great Empire, has lately wandered
a long way through the devious
paths Of factional city politics and
has finally brought up against tho
water wagon. This is said to be
the first time the town has had a
closed saloon in over two thousand
years. But they are closed now.
Ay, and there is wailing and
gnashing of teeth in the thirst
stricken city.
This unusual thirst can be traced
directly to the last legislature.
That body passed a law limiting
saloons in towns of less than one
thousand inhabitants to one for
each three hundred inhabitants.
This law gives the little town at
the mouth of Bad river only two
saloons, which is not enough to
satisfy the thirst of it's citizens
even when working over time.
Last year Fort Pierre winked at
the lazy and had four saloons.
Everybody was happy and there
was not an unsatistied thirst any
where.
Last city election trouble began.
1t was generally understood that
an effort would be made this wear
to enforce the law. Consequently
the saloon question and the politi-
cal ambitions of some of the peo-
pie got pretty badly tangled up.
Time has only added to the diff
culties.
When the city council met
several days ago, it was passed up
to them that they could grant two
saloon permits, and if that number
were exceeded face criminal prose-
cutions. Bell and Courtney were
the fortunate ones. The matter
was passed up to the county COM
missioners, who were inclined to
favor Bradshaw and Yokum, and
that body adjourned without tax
ing action. As a result when the
first of July came no licenses had
been secured, the year had ex-
pired and ohsequently the saloons
had to close.

Business Mems Association Meets

The local business mems associa-
tion held it's regular monthly
meeting last night. and transacted
more than the ordinary amount "f
business. Twenty-Five or thirty
members were present.
\ committee was appointed to
take general cha, ge of the Harvest
Festival which will bc held in
Philip September 3, 4, and ). The
five members of this committee of
which Mr.. kumm is chairman will
appoint subcommittee, and the
active work Of preparing for the
bi" festival will be taken w ut
once. This will enable Us to make
al early start and avoid the hurry
and rush we encountered last wear.
The matter of organizing 4
cemetery association came up for
consideration and committee was
appointed to take charge Of the
matter. Rev. p. l. King, Mr..
Warner and Mr.. Waggoner are
members of the committee. 1t is
likely that cemetery will be
located at some suitable spot near
the town.
A communication rom the state
federation of commercial clubs
was reported by the president.
The question whether the local
business mems association should
affiliate with the state organiza-
ton was discussed pro and con,
and the whole matter finally re-
ferred to the executive committee.
The committee recently appoint
ed to collect the marshall's salary
reported a collection amounting to
over three hundred dollars. They
also reported kicks on paying the
assessment that aggregated . total
SO large that the committee nearly
tainted several times while making
their rounds. A motion to retain
the marshall for another month
at bis present salary was lost by q
vote of twenty-four to one. A
motion was then carried to tx the
marshalrs salary at forty dollars
per month. Anderson Michael,
+. W. Warner, and others have
made application for the job.
On the whole it was the most
businesslike meeting that the
association has held for many
moons. At the beginning the
chairman called attention to
enough business to take up the
time of about four ordinary meet
ings, but it was all cleaned away
when the association adjourned.

How They Celebrated

The glorious Fourth is now a
matter of history in Stanley coun-
ty. Even The tired feeling Of the
Sunday morning after is gone, and
our citizens are settling down to
their usual calm, realizing that it
will be u full year before the sky
rockets will sizzle and as long be
fore the rising young orator will
bc trotted forth to deliver shining
gems of thought concerning Amer
lean independence. 1t was II great
celebration in old Stanley, but it is
all over for year, remembering
always of course that Philip will
have a Harvest Festival celebra-
ton during the early days of
September that will knock the
spots off of every other celebration
heretofore held in the western
part of this state. If you don't
believe it, come and see.
A number of towns and villages
throughout the county celebrated
the national holiday this year.
At the county seat a definite pro-
gram was carried out. Hon. J. L.
Lockhart of Pierre delivered an
address at the court house; there
was a ball game between Pierre
and Wokama, which resulted in a
score of IL to 0 in favor of the
capital city team, and other games
and sports. Report has it that the
high dive was fake. In general
the Fort Pierre celebration lacked
something Of the vim and spontane-
ity that has characterized previous
celebrations in that town. The
people down there have been hav-
ing a little frolic among them
selves ever since the last city elec-
ton, and this in measure absorbs
their attention and energies.
Hayes celebrated the day in true
western style. A crowd was in
evidence to witness the program of
sports. Mr.. George Philip Of
Fort Pierre delivered the address
of the day, and there be those who
say that the little Scotchman is
chock full of patriotic sentiment
for the land of his adoption.
Midland also celebrated the day.
There was the usual program
of sports and an eleven inning
ball game in the afternoon be-
tween Philip and Midland, re-
in a score of 10 to 5 in favor
of Philip. The town had the
largest crowd that has assembled
there during its history. Among
the visitors there were over a hun
dred Philip people. extending ex-
pressions of goodwill to our neigh
and boosting for the ball team.
The crowd came home on the four
o'clock passenger and woke the
town up with final flourish to
their celebration. Otherwise it
was quiet day in Philip.
At Cottonwood there was . cele-
Of the kind for which that
town has already established 4
reputation. 1t was fully up to the
high notch marked there last year,
when the railroad had not reached
he town and everybody WAS still

July Term of Court

Court will convene at Fort
Pierre with Judge Lyman T..
Boucher on the bench July 20.
The indications are that the docket
will be about up to the average.
Among the criminal cases of i'm
portance will be the trial of Bowen
for the murder of Katherine kil|ie
in claim shack near Fort Pierre
last December. This will be one
of the most interesting cases that
has come up for trial lately.
There, will likely be the usual
number of cattle shooting cases
and other petty misdemeanors to
be adjusted and fines imposed.

many cases of large Importance.

the revolutionists, and is to be bonn
barded by the government forces.
Commander MARVEL said that all was
quiet at St. Mare, that the revolution
lists had landed there and were guard

lation over possible American interfer-
ence, as there are large American in
terests in the island.

State Department yesterday that the
government had four gunboaJs and was

AGAINST MANY FEET

modify section A OF the immigration
law Of last session, which provides the
number OF cubic feet and the number
of superficial feet OF space that must
be allowed 70 each passenger by the
steamship companies.
T. S. Franklin, Of New York, ap-
peared for a number Of the leading
steamship lines, and Thorndike SpaId-
ing. OF Boston, appeared for the White
Star line. They urged that this Gov
eminent ought to be satisfied with re-
strictions similar to those imposed by
the British board OF trade. which are
considerably less stringent than those
imposed by the immigration law Of this
country.

THE contiguousness Of saloons is also
a bad feature. Drinking leads 20 pool
and pool leads TO drinking. Some Iegis-

opening between the saloon and the ad-
joining pool room.
