latest invention, the aeroplane.
The subject, though necessarily
quite technical, swas explained in a
manner that was perfectly intelligi-
BILE. The significant thing about the
latest phases of air navigation seems
to be that the leading governments
are taking hold of the matter and ex-
pending large sums for experiments
and equipment. Mr.. Clayton gave a
very viviu unit of the internation-
al balloon race from st. Louis in
which he rode in the "Pommern'.
The entire lecture was listened to
with close attention by the audience
because of the intimate personal
knowledge that the speaker had
with the subject. Mr.. Clayton had
a very pronounced New England &C
cent which coupled with his ap-
parent inexperience in lecturing
caused a slight difficulty in under
standing everything he said.
There Is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced tia local dis
ease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment, pronounced 1t
i%ncurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, man

tional u on the market. 1t is

Standing on the roof of the high
CEampeny building Saturday a
salesman opened the great sale of
clothing ard gents furnishing goods
of Chas- G. Woods by throwing thdr-
ty overcoats and coats; into the great
crowd which assembled In the street
below. 1t was an opener that was
something OF a screamer and the way
the men and boys hustled for the
clothing as it came dawn indicated
they all belonged to a baseball club
of the first class. Andi it was good
stuff hat was thrown: away.
When the doors We're opened for
the sale at 8 o'clock there was a
grand rush to get into the storercom
to get hold of the great bargains
that were provided in the markdown
sale. Although Mr.. Woods had pro
vided a large force OF clerks it was
impossible to handle the crowds and
the doors Lad to be locked to give
the buyers a chance and then let in
a fresh crowd after che others had
been supplied.
From the low prices that Mr.
Woods has made on his goods it is
evident mat he is going to do a great
business.

NONE ARE CHAMPIONS
No High school Team Won sufa-
cient Honors as to Lay Claim
to the Championship.


The high school football season
of 1908 will go down in history
without a champion eleven, a con
dition all high schools will regret,
but n that cannot be overcome un-
til the teams are taken into sort
of an association, where their stand
ings can be reached in a definite
manner.
The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader in
commenting on and publishing the
list OF names given in the columns
of the Republican a few days ago
in the makeup of an all-star high
school team, says that the team is
about as fair as could be put to-
gether, although different selections
might be made by different men.
T Concerning the state champion
ship, 'Thei Argus-Leader says: "The
state championship is a question that
can be doped in many ways. Sioux
Falls could use q line of dope that
would entitle it to the flag Madison
could do the same and Mitchell
would not be far in the rear. There
is talk of a schedule being arranged
SO that some definite lines can be
drawn. That is as it should be. The
high school games should be arrang.
ed under the directions Of the state
athletic association and then 1t would
not be so hard to determine which
ieleven was entitled to the honors.'
So far as the published cores are
concerned. we believe that Mitchell
is ahead Of any school in the stat,
on the number of points that hav'
been made in the games played an.
that 1t has the smallest number o
points that have been scored agains
it. Mitchell scored .161 points an,
81 points were scored against he
in the season. In one game Mitch
ell made 80 points to its opponent
none. But of course that does NO
make the team champions, but
puts them up where they are to b
recognized.

In England the power of God Save the Queen"

in Ireland, "St Patricks Day in the Morning"
and "Croppies Lie Down." are either of them
enough to breed a rebellion.
In America the soul stirring qualities of Cyan

To go still further back it is a universally &C

The harmony of a government, like that of
concert, may be disturbed in two ways either the
music itself may be bad, as in anarchial or des
potic states, where demagogues tyrants follow
each other with the unpleasant effects of conSecu
the fifthS the music being good may be spoiled
by bad performance; and this last may arise
from the incapacity of the master to keep gin with
his band; his missing his time, being out of his
count or stopping too sharp, or too flat, and
throwing all of the performers wrong. Or he
may be too fond of execution; too much given to
playing to the galleries.; too DESTROYS of being the
a0h0le ShOt0; or of making grand stand plays.
For it is fault common to musicians and
political leaders to nterlard with their own crude
notions, the works of their classical predecessors
which not only destroys unity, but alters in toto
the character and expression of the original. Thus
a crude and undigested incubation of a musical
may be palmed off on the public as the work
of a great master; and the most radical changes
effected under the notion of originality, making
disaster in musical or national affairs.
Success in both arts depends in great measure
upon the proper choice of Instruments leader

assemblies should take that they have an

There belief among ancient philosophers
that there exists secret connection between
the music of nation, the character of the peo
pie, and the nature of their government. For a
long time this idea was regarded as an absurdty
but time and closer study of the theory have
led many of latter days sages to conclude
that "dere is more in desc tings den some men
will tink."
Are not nations, when not engaged in open
hostiities, (and only employed in undermining
each others commerce, and spying into thwarting
and undermining each others cabinet measures),
technically considered living in harmony?
Are not all diplomatic affairs, Notwithstanding
the terms protocols" and Circulars carried on
by of notes?
Are not ambassadors and plenipotentiaries
bound to lay base (bdsS) for their negotiations
and compelled to act according to the tenor OF
their instructions?
Do not the beligerent powers when tired of
squanderng the wealth and the blood of the peo-
pie begin to approach each other by means of
oUertureS?
Is it not a common observation that the loss or
gain of great battle makes the high contracting
parties change their tone?
In the interior management of national affairs,
do we not find the oppositionists eternally ex-
claiming "the party leaders have brought matters
to a pretty pitch?"
Do not all propositions receive their character
and qualification by their relation to the motif?
Is it not a sufficient objection to the most valu-
able reform that they do not suit the time?

It is no unusual thing to hear in times of great

A Queer Cough Mixture.

Mrs. Delaney, so well known as an
eighteenth century parsonage, had a
strange prescription for a cough mix
ture. Writing to friend in January
1853, she says: Does Mary cough in
the night? Two or three snails boiled
in her barley water OF tea water or
whatever she drinks might be of great
service to her. Taken in time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
