To Lessen Fire Risk

The FIRE next our building caused us
to realize the folly of a heavy stock
under present conditions. Therefore,
we deducted every cent of insurance
collected from the prices of our pianos.
Besides, we made a further discount
to materially reduce our large stock.
The result has been an astonishing
number of sales to customers who
know our pianos and appreciate the
values. Byron Mauzy. 1165-1175 O'F'ar-

SPORTING SNAP SHOTS

Joe Cans and Spike Robson have
been signed to fight in Philadel-
phia April g. Cans was given a big
financial offer to take on the
doughty Englishman. It's rather
sad for the Britisher.
Al Neil recently won a 20 round
battle from Jim Hornbuckle at
Santa Rosa, Cal. The referee
stopped the slaughter five seconds
before the finish to save Horn.

Frank Erne has made good his
threat to get back into the ring
and according to Paris dispatches
he and Curly Watson were prin
cipals a few nights ago in brisk
affair of about 10 rounds. Erne won
the decision.
Two fights that will attract un
usual attention may be pulled off in
California in the course of few
months. Billy Papke, who won q
decision over Hugo Kelly. will
probably be pitted against Young
Ketchell, conqueror of Mike Sulli
van and Joe Thomas. The win
ner will then probably fight Hugo
Kelly. Although Papke won the
decision from Hugo, the latter kept
him going the pace all the while
and is entitled to another try at
him.
Champion featherweight, Abe At
tel, and Owen Moran, the little
Englishman who gave him the
fight of his career, may be matched
for a second contest after all. Al
Lippe, eastern representative of At
tel, has received a dispatch from
the champion saying that he was
willing to fight Moran in New
York. Tom O'Rourke has offered a
purse of $4,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 81
Is Featheweight Abe Attell better
fighter than Lightweight Battling
Nelson? Fight fans the country

question for themselves tomorrow

the Dane in a 15-round bout before

POLAR BEARS
To PULL HIM

Capt. Road Amundsen, noted
Arctic explorer, gave an interesting
account of how he found the North
west passage, at the Spokane thea
ter last night to large audience.
Mayor Herbert Moore introduced
Pres. Paul M. GIasoe. of Spokane
college, who in turn introduced the
explorer. Capt. Amundsen, tall and
1.-THE, presented good stage ap-
! pearance. His anecdotes of expe-
'-wience with the Eskimos and his
SAsiIltlres with his littl bark
t3joa. werA Intensely interesting.
In June, 1916 Amundsen expects
to sail north firm San Francisco
on a second y0yage to study the
currents in the Northwest passage
anil to Locate exactly the position
of the magnetic pole. On this trip
he will use polar bears to draw
sledges instead of dogs. The bears
are now being trained for the work
In Hamburg. Capt. Amundsen's
successful navigation of the mys-
terious passage around the north
end of the continent forms one of
the most valuable additions to
science that has been attained by
exploration. His work was aptly
illustrated by stereopticon views.
Capt. Amundsen was the guest
yesterday of the Scandinavian
brotherhood, 10000 club and
chamber of commerce. He Joined

"who STOLE THAT BlLL?"

An anonymous circular sent broad
cast over the state in the interest
OF Crawford's candidacy contains the
following:
"Mr. Kittredge made his entree in
state politics in the legislative ses-
sion Of 1890, when he was present
as a senator from Minnehaha county
and organized the legislature. A rail-
road bill was introduced at that SEES
sion and was stolen from the files.
Who stole that biil?"
It is a natural inference that the
fellow who stole that bill was ap-
prehensive that the legislature would
enact it into law.
In the session Of the territorial cOun-
ell the previous year, Mr.. Crawford
opposed the double damage liability
bill. opposed the antitrust bill, and
favored the grOss-earnings law, in
which position he was but sustaining
the efforts Of the notorious and expen-
siye railroad lobby.
Mr.. Crawford was also a member
of the state legislature Of 1890 and
again voted against the antitrust bill,
Mr.. Kittredge voting for 1t. 1t became
q law.
During this same session (the year
that the bill was ''stolen') Mr.. Craw-
ford made the motion TO put to sleep
the memorial to congress to elect
United States senator's by a direct
vote of the people.
Perhaps Mr.. Crawford could answer
the question, Who stole that bill?'

ENDORSES kITTREDGE
knute Nelson, the Great MiDnesotan
Warmly CemmendS the Services
Of Senator 4. B. kltiredqe

On the 2sth OF March, John Refer
son, president OF the Scandinavian
Republican League of Dawson county,
wrote a letter to Senator Nelson, ask
ing about Senator kittredge and his
standing in Washington. President
Reierson pointed out some OF the
things being said to the hurt OF Sen
ator Kittredge in the South Dakota
campaign. and asked Senator Nelson
to advise him as to the facts. Sen
ator Nelson, of course, is no willing
to take a hand in q senatorial fight
in another state, but he was willing
to do justice to a friend, and in reply
to the request, wrote the following
letter, which was printed in the
Mitchell Republican OF Saturday. The
letter will be read with interest
throughout South Dakota, because
Senator Nelson is honest and fearless
and his judgment will be accepted by
hundreds, not to say thousands, OF
people in South Dakota. Senator
Nelson writes:-
Washington, d. c., April 2, 1908.
Hon. John Reierson, President Scan
dinavian Republican League, Dav-
ison county, Mitchell. S. D..
Dear Sir:-Your favor OF March
2Sth. asking my views as to the stand.
ing, services, and qualifications OF
Senator kittredge as a senator and
as to whether he has worked in har-
mony with the president, is at hand.
In reply l desire to say that SO far
as | know he has supported all the
prominent measures recommended by
the administration. He was particu-
larry active in helping to secure pas
sage of the railway rate bill, and on
that subject was entirely in harmony
with the president, and sc far as |
know he has the full confidence of
both the president and Secretary Taft.
| may say that on all great public
side Of what | term reform and on
the side of the people. He sits quite
near me in the senate chamber and
usually confers with me about public
questions when they come up for con-
s%ideration, and | hardly know Of an
inRtance where he has not assumed
the same attitude and taken the same
course on public matters that nave;
In fact, | have always felt that l could
rely upon him for help to secure the
passage of any measure that | deem
ed for the best welfare of the people.
Senator kittredge is one OF the o
energetic and industrious members OF
the senate. / have served with him
for several ear on the Judiciary
committee, which deals with import
ant legal and constitutional questions,
and have always found his judgment
clear and sound and have found him
ever ready to take a broad and lib
eral view of all questions that apper-
ta'n 10 the rights of the people. His
standing in the senate is excellent;
in fact, none of the younger senators
are held in better repute or have
more friends in this body. While
senator nlttredge does not pretend
to be a great orator, yet in all the
hard work hal goes to formulate
and prepare legislation and get it in
shape for final action, he is active,
efficient and energetic as any mem
Der of this body. | think your young
and growing state is very fortunate,
indeed, in having such an able repre-
sentative in the senate as Senator
Kittredge.
