Little Girl Shot.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. G. Mcdaniel ar
rived Tuesday from their home near
Eothen, Wyo., bringing with them
their three-year7bld daughter who
lad been accidentally shot by her
fourteen-year-old brother. The
,rother was standing near the cor
ner of the house shooting at a mark
VIXEN the little girl came around the
seerner and before she was seen the
brother fired the shot. The ball,
/ 22-calibre, struck her just above
the mouth on the right side of her
face, breaking out several teeth, the
ball passing around under the skin
to the back of her ear. Had 1t not
been for the fact that the ball
struck her teeth the shot would have
been fatal. AS it is the little girl
is not much the worse for the exper-
fence, although she will have sore
face for some time. She was taken
back to the ranch Wednesday morn

A Supreme Court overruled.


The record for popular vindica-
lions in the late election probably
will go to Geo. w. Egan, of Sioux
Falls, who was elected states at
torney for Minnehaha county by a
plurality of something like $500.
Egan was the republican candidate.
He carried the county by plural
ity 500 greater than was given to
Taft. He carried the city by $50,
having a plurality in every precinct.
He carried every precinct in the
county with two or three excep-
lions. He was given the largest
vote cast for any candidate.
The surprising feature in connec-
ton with Egan's election as states
attorney is not the large vote re-
ceived. 1t is found in the fact that
as states attorney for Minnehaha
county Egan cannot practice in the
court. He was dsbarred few
weeks before the election. He was
accused of unprofessional conduct
regarding fees and a verdict of dis
barment was rendered against him
by jury of lawyer peers. Egan
claimed the proceedings were insti-
gated through political prejudice.
He carried the case to the state SUI
prone court, where the disbarment
edict was approved. Egan had been
nominated as the republican candi-
date for states attorney before the
disbarment. After the successful
prosecution it was supposed he would
resign on account of inability to dis
charge the duties of his office. In
stead Egan declared his intention to
appeal from the ruling of the SUI
preme court and let the voters of
Minneh aha county pass upon his
case. His appeal was successful to
a surprising degree. Most of the
voters certainly must have heard
the details of the case, for it was
one of the sensations of the state.
The result of the election must mean
in so far as they could do so, the peo-
pie have overruled the supreme
court and the bar committee and
have decided that Egan was blame
less.
Apparently there is nothing to pre-
vent Egan from drawing the salary
of states attorney for two years. So
long as the judgment of disbarment
stands against him, however, he can
not appear in court in performance
of the duties of his office.-Sioux

Election Facts.

Taft will receive 321 votes in the
electoral college and Bryan 1921
making Tafts majority 159. Roose-
velt's majority in the electoral col
lege was 1876, McKinley's in 1896
was 95; Cleveland's in 1892, 10;
Harrisop's in 1888, 65; Cleveland's
in 1884, 81; and Garfield's in 1880,
SO.
Taft's popular majority will be
about 100000. Roosevelt's was
2.545,OOO; McKinley's in 1900 was
$4,000 and in 1896 was 601,0
Roosevelt's record of four years ago,
it will be observed, was not nearly
equaled by Taft.
The sixty-frst congress will find
220 republicans and III democrats
in the lower house. This gives the
republicans majority of 40, as COM
pared with So in the sixtieth and IA
in the fifty-nine congress.
The political division of the I'm
tied States senate will be about the
same after next March 4 as it is
now. OF the go members, 81 hold
over and of the 81 elected or to
be elected for the term beginning
next March, 10 will be republicans
and IL democrats, leaving the re-
publcans with about two-thirds of
the membership. The only change
in political complexion will be in the
election of a democrat from Indiana
probably John w. Kern, to succeed
Hemenway, and of Chamberlain in
Oregon to succeed Fulton, a republic
can who lost to Chamberlain in a
popular election last June.

Victorien CARIBOU, greatest contem-
porary playwright, is dead at his
Paris home at the age of IT, Only
a year and half ago he witnessed
the first production of his latest play
and it is still running to crowded
houses. He was amazing prolific,
having written in all about fifty pro-
auctions. His first play, in 1854,
was a complete fizzle and in 1858
he all but died in garrett of ty-
phoid fever. In 1860 his first great
success appeared and after that he
constructed the vehicles for Nine.
Bernhard, Nine. Rejane, Henry Irv-
ing and Miss Terry. He realized
tremendous fortune from his royal
ties, but he never relaxed his in
lustry. Sioux Falls had the pleasure
Of seeing one of his productions.
The Divorcons," only short while
ago and the sparkle of it's lines
and the ingenuity of its situations
are still in the memory of all who
saw it. 1t is said of Sardou that
he built his plays as carpenter
would building and that through
this faculty he gave them an exact
ness and finish not so easily attained
In free-hand work.

Cuba is going to try once more the
plan of self-government. Next Sat
urday is the date set for the presi-
dental election in the island repub-
lie. and Jan. 2S is the day the Amer
leans will once more turn over the
country to the tender mercies of the
Cubans. The battle for the presi-
dency Of the republic IS progressing
holly. Unlike the recent campaign
in the United States, there is but
one issue before the people in the
Cuba campaign, and that is-xhe
spoils. Possibly the Cubans will dis
appoint the expectations of those
most familiar with conditions in that
country, and elect man as presi-
dent who will develop the country
into what 1t should be. The chances
are, however, that history will re-
peat itself, and the United States
will have to intervene at OCCASION
al intervals until the end of the chap
ter, or until it becomes tired of the
thankless task and absorbs Cuba
for all time.

President Hyde, of Bowdoin Col
lege, Brunswick, Me-, in a notable ad-
dress to the student body severely ar
raigned the laws of Maine, for per-
hitting the organization of corpora
lions which allow fraud and stealing
and denounced the shoddy vices and
swindles which flourish at many of
the county fairs. Said Hyde: THE
worst vice of the American people
is the desire to get something for
nothing. Maine has the disease as
badly as Oklahoma or Nevada This
state receives thousands of dollars
a year from all over the country for
organizing corporations under laws
tina. we're drafted in the interest of
thieves to make wholesale stealing
easy" He then referred to the To-
cal country fair, at which numerous
low and swindling side shows were
run, and compared il with the coun-
TT fairs in Switzerland He asked:
Why Go the Maine farmers allow
iaeusslTss and their families to be
iasrl.ed oT The presence of these low
.AEs-s q tbsi, agricultural fairs?"

Fort Meade Water Supply.

State Engineer Lea has been re-
quested by Capt. l.. G. Scherer, con-
structing quartermaster at Fort
Meade, to furnish advice and assist
ance in the matter of obtaining an
adequate water supply for this i'm
portant army post. The situation
regarding water supply has become
so serious at Fort Meade that there
has been some talk of removing the
troops therefrom, but every effort
will be made to avoid the necessity
Of this contingency. There is plenty
of good water available if the nat
ural resources are utilized by proper
ly constructed works. Mr.. Lea will
do everything in his power to re-
lieve the situation. He expects to
leave for Sturgis and Fort Meade in
few days to see and confer with
the military authorities about the
matter and to make personal in
vestigation of the situation.-Pierre

Mr.. Bryan has not yet figured out
exactly how 1t happened to happen
just the way it did. He doesn't
know, for sure, whether the people
voted against him because they do
not like him personally, or because
they do not like his principles. He is
trying to study 1t out. Perhaps, lat
er on. when he has determined the
causes to his own satisfaction, he
will take the people into his conf
dence. In his statement Mr.. Bryan
says nothing about his latest para
mount issue. LET the people rule. :"
The republican vote is so large that
the democratic leader can scarcely
harbor doubt that the verdict Of
the polls is the verdict OF the whole
people and not of any class. Incl
dentally, the defeated candidate ex-
hibits no trace of bitterness over the
result. A man who can stand three
defeats for the presidency, each one
OF them unparalleled up to that time,
and not become bitter, certainly has
good stuff in him, even though he
may not possess the qualifications
the people deem necessary in the man
they choose for president.

Black is a brilliant talker, and has

Labor leaders in England have be-
gun fierce fight against John Burns,
the laborite member Of Parliament,
as a result Of his speech in the Com
mons last week on the unemployed.
What he said was that the average
workman spends s1.75 week for
drink, and that if he devoted this
sum to life insurance, most of the
troubles of the unemployed would
disappear. He compared the Brit
ish unemployed unfavorably with the
American unemployed, saying that
the latter do not spend their money
for liquor. The labor leaders assert
that the annual output of beer in the
United Kingdom has fallen from
1873 gallons per capita in 1899 to
27.63 in 1907, and of spirits in the
same period from lip to 80 per
capita.

his question III GIL SSi1ooSoSSS
Is answered in the Affirmative by var
ious authorities cited in an article
for Golfers by c. P. Connolly. The
term "bubonic" is used to dis1in-
guish the popular disease from It's
less frequent forms. The bubonic
form attacks the Emphatic glands
and causes buboes or angry swell

arm pit and rarely in the neck.
In some cases these are intensely
painful, in others no, at all so. 9th
