ping at the democratic convention at
Rapid City last week, and the steam
roller process was used to a good
advantage when Andy Lee was be-
hind. Things were not going to suit
the democratic nominee for COVER
nor, and he called a halt in the pro-
ceedings on Tuesday evening after
about all of the state ticket was nom
mated. Andy stands in the role Of
a dictator this year. The democrats
wanted him to take the nomination
for governor and Andy didn't want
1t by any means, finally accepting it
after the greatest amount of urging.
Under those conditions he believed
that what he wanted should be the
ultimatum on which the convention
should act, and when it failed in that
regard the vermillion merchant very
politely told the democrats they
could hunt up another candidate for
governor. That opened their eyes to
the situation and they at once
acknowledge that Andy was right
and what he said went. And his
reasonssthat he. had to offer were not
given out either. Levi Waite, one
of the old democratic newspaper
men. but now engaged in the grain
elevator business, was ditched for the
nominee of state autitor after the
plum had been given him, and Levi
could not understand the star cham
Der proceedings that caused him to
be dumped. But party reasons de-
manded it and the order went forth.
However, on reconsideration, Mr..
Waite al left on the ticket.
Early in the primary business, when
the state convention was held in this
city in April, it was decided that
Robert NJ. Dowdell and Andrew Oh
son should be the nominees for con-
gress. but G. j. Harris, of Yankton,
came out as a candidate and so did
Taz Simmons, of Huron. Olson, the
leaders, candidate, was defeated by
a few votes. Harris was found to
be plastic edbugh to withdraw as q
candidate for congress and after Oh
had been nominated for secretary OF
state. he was switched back to the
congressional nomination. The steam
rolled worked nicely. and In his clos
ing speech before the convention ad-
journed. Andy Lee admitted in his
! remarks that Il might have been ar-
bitrary. l did what l thought wa
best for the interest Of the party
Having done things Just as he want
ed them there was little tlnseSinsthe
democrats going clear out to RAPID
City to have Andy settle the whole
proposition. The expense might have
been saved and Andy done the bust
.ness at Vermillion. The state chair.
man proposition has not been settled
as yet. Mr.. Lee was not satisfied
with Harry Wentzy for chairman
again, and the ex-governor brought
forward a candidate Of his own, and
the chances are that when, Mr.. Lee
and Mr.. LaFollette call the candi-
dates on the state ticket to assemble
to select a chairman that Lees mar
will be chosen. The steam roller
talks and it has a way of carrying
things that it wants. The democrats
said everything was harmonious and
the suposition is that it is true.

Tramways in Meso ootamla.

The land of the Arabian Nights,
once the very home of romance, Is
getting as roughly materialistic as the
rest of the world. The administration
of the Sanieh at Bagdad has decided
to construct tramway from this city
to Ell Azemieh, a distance Of three
miles. Ell Amezieh is a pleasant sub
urb of Bagdad, and is a temporary
resting place for Persian pilgrims and
others who go there to worship at the
Mohammedan mosques In Kazomaine,
on the opposite side of the River Tigris.
The domes of the principal mosques
are covered with sheets of gold, and
are known far and wide throughout
the Mohammedan world. A consider
able number of Bagdad merchants
live in Ell Azemieh, and traffic between
the two points Is at all times heavy.
The Sanieh administration, which will
build the tramway, is anxious that the
work shall be done by American street

Saved Her Colt.

One OF the most remarkable in
stances Of animal sagacity that ever
came to light In this section is related
by engineer James PARROT and conduc-
tor Frank King.
When the southbound passenger
train was near Hallsburg a mare sud-
denly dashed up the track right to-
ward the train. running swiftly. 1t
looked as IL she would run right into
the engine, and the air brakes were
quickly applied, slowing the train
down to six or seven miles an hour.
Engineer PARROT thought the mare
was blinded by the headlight, but the
train was no sooner slowed down than
the mare turned about and went from
the train, keeping right down the
tracks and making it impossible to
run fast lest the animal be struck.
The mare went straight to bridge
over a creek, and when within a
short distance of the bridge of the
railway it was discovered that the colt
OF the mare had fallen with all of
its feet through the bridge, placing
it where it would have been killed
had not the mare literally tagged the
train. The mare stopped and began
whinnying. and the train stopped also.
Engineer Parrott. the fireman, and
some of the passengers got off, and,
relieving the colt, left the mare to

Breeding and Feeding.

While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to fix type, the prac-
tice weakens vitality unless very
carefully followed. For this reason
closely inbred hogs are more suscep-
tible to chlora than those whose con-
stitutions have not been impaired by
the system. The straight corn diet
which mary hogs receive from one
years end to the other also lessons vi
tally and the researchers of the Wis
consin Experiment Station have shown
that this is probably brought about by
actually retarding the development Of
the vital organs. A minimum of in
breeding and a varied diet, including
ample range. will therefore better en-
able the herd to resist the attacks of
disease.-Dr. Alexander.
