VERMONT ELECTION
TO-DAY IS PULLING
Each Side Has Fought Hard-state's
Attitude on National Issues May
Have Bearing on National
Campaign
BY Associated Press


MONTPELIER. VT, Aug. S1.-Final
arguments in the political case in Ver-
mont were made on the stump tonight,
and tomorrow the people in choosing a
governor, other state officers, two MEM
bers of congress and members OF the
state legislature will decide on the mer-
its of the various questions submitted
to them during the recent campaign.
That a majority of the voters will
favor Lieut.. Gov. George Q. Prouty of
Newport, the Republican candidate for
governor, was the claim of that party,
freely advanced today, but the size OF
Mr.. Prouty's majority, and especially
of his plurality over James e. Burke
of Burlington, the Democratic candt-
date for governor, was matter of con-
siderable conjecture.
Both the Republican and Democratic
campaign managers have fought hard
this year, realizing that since Vermont
Is the first state in the Union to hold
an election this fall, her attitude on
national issues would have much bear
ing on the conduct of the national CAM
paign.
There is an added interest in the cleo
tion this year owing to the active parti-
cipation of the Independence league,
whose candidate for governor, Quimby
s. Bacus of Brandon, has made Wig
orous campaign.
Vermont, and at 1.-The election In 1904 all
but four towns gave Republican plu-
ralities All the cities went Republi-
can. The total vote for governor IN
1904 was: Bell (Republican), 48,11a;
Porter (Democrat), 1886. The COM
parison this year will be made with the
above vote.

CLAY CITY, ILL.,, Aug. a.-Insane as
the result of having slain his wife and
wounded his son in error, Julius Tur-
ner, farmer, committed suicide In the
county Jail last night. He hanged
himself with the sheets of his cot.
The shooting of Mrs. Turner and her
son occurred June 20. The murder was
the result of insane jealousy on the
part OF the husband.
The son was mistaken for rival
and he and his mother were shot while
they were standing in the dark just
outside the village church.
Turner. who was So years old, had
been separated from his wife for some
time before the shooting. He was re-
puted to bo wealthy.
Mrs. Turner was % years old.
Turner, overcome by remorse and sor-
row, had been out of his mind ever
since the shooting. He had been more
concerned In the condition of his son
than he had In his own fate and he
frequently said he cared not what the
authorities did to him SO long as his
boy would recover.
In this last wish he seemed to have
been gratified as the boy, although
seriously wounded, has recovered rap
idly and is well on the way to health
again.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON Aug. 31.--On his re-
cent official trip to the Hawaiian
islands, Secretary of the Interior Gar
field discovered what he regards as two
very important indications of improved
conditions in those islands.
One of these is a growing disposition
to accept the American laws and regu-
lations restricting Oriental immigra-
tion and the other willingnes So on the
part of owners of large tracts of land
to part with a portion to those who
may desire to purchase small areas.
He also found a tendency toward more
diversified farming than has character
ized the Hawaiian planters in the past.
"The Hawaiians are beginning tc get
away from the idea that they can grow
only sugar." he said, "and they are in
PRODUCING many other crops to ad-
vantage, such, for instance, as coffee,
pineapples, tobacco and hemp. All
those do splendidly, the hemp especial
ly fine.
Coffee Grows Finely
'The cofree experiment has been sat-
isfactory, but there Is a feeling that 1t
should receive governmental encour-
agement, and there is a movement on
foot toward asking the government for
some special assistance in the islands,

"There are also many other new arti-
cies In the way of fruits and plants be-
ing Introduce to advantage, and there
is, of course, corresponding growth of
prosperity.
ALREADY 1t is becoming apparent
that the islands will produce much
more than the residents can consume,
and they are seriously considering what
they shall do with the surplus. They
naturally look to the United States as
their best market, but they find the
navigation laws much against them.
"The extension of the coastwise pro-
visions Of those laws to the islands
renders it almost impossible to utilize
the foreign steamers which ply between
the islands and the mainland, and do
nestle vessels are not available. Hence
the effort which was recently inaugu-
rated to have the coastwise laws modi-
fed In the interest of the Hawaiian
planter viii be renewed with vigor
during the next session Of congress-"

A Wholesale GROCERY.

There is one thing needed to round
out the business interests of this city
and to pave the way for other enter
prises to come in-and that is a
wholesale grocery establishment. 1t
is true that for several years efforts
have been made to land the enter
prise Of this kind, but they have been
some disappointments in this con
nection. The disappointments, how
v will serve only to make the
effort that much greater to secure
this enterprise.
Mitchell is located in the center of
the best agricultural section of the
state, where corn is king, and where
the grain is made the feature of the
greatest event in the northwest when
the corn palace is held. The people
throughout the section are in a very
prosperous condition, and the hun
dreds of towns that are within the
territory of Mitchell are growing and
making good beyond any question.
There is a stretch of country 65
miles to the north, GO miles to the
south, so miles to the east on two
roads as territory and at present is as
good as anything in the state, and it
is occupied by either Sioux City,
Sioux Falls or Aberdeen houses. This
is territory that rightfully belongs
to Mitchell and it should be supplied
with products from the wholesale
houses of this city. There is not a
town mentioned in the above terri
tory but what is growing and develop
ing and creating new business all the
time.
MitchelTs greatest territory lies to
the west and embraces the Black
Hills extension of the Milwaukee
road. Mitchell is the recognized gate
way to the Hills country and there
are many new towns out that way
which are growing and developing
into business towns that in the few
years to come will offer splendid ad-
vantages.
The Commercial Committee has
been active along this line and have
had conferences with several men
along the line of establishing a whole
sale grocery. While the. enterprise
was not landed at once we firmly be-
lieve that the time is coming very
soon when this field will be occupied.
Every energy should be directed to-
ward this matter with the idea of
landing it at least in the spring of the
year.

events. Governments are eXtraordi-
narily stable institutions. The per-
sons who conduct them change, some
times by rule and sometimes by the
laws of nature. but the governments
go on. These governments, too, up
on the whole agree with themselves
as nearly as anything that man has
devised. A government view, taken
in one year and in regard to n mat
ter, may confidently be expected to
reappear that matter comes
up again, no matter how many years
later. Those who conduct a gov
eminent today are in a way respon-
sible to those who conducted it ten
years or a century earlier. In gov
eminent work the past serves as a
guide to the present and as security
for the future; and those who, some
times in c%onceit, sometimes in tenn
porary ~ingnorance, try to get away
from that past and blaze a new path
for themselves to CORY, generally
find put in the end, by their w ex-
perience, that the maXims and rules
of the past are still binding, and that
there is no way to gain enduring
honor except by observing them. 1t
is in this individually and continuity
of government that the value of
this little piece of paper lies. The
duly accredited representatives of
the United States and of Japan have
said these things in regard to the
Far East as the judgment of the
two governments concerned, and as
long as history runs there is no way
for any connected with either of
these governments to get away from
what is written on this little piece
of paper. The knowledge of it, the
consciousness of it, the authority of
it, the binding responsibility of it,
will run along year in and year out
as long as the two governments en-
dure. 1t is a thing done; a guide
post set up; an attitude taken against
war and in favor of peace in the rar
East; and there is no power any
where and never will be, to change
this formal and solemn record. The
force Of this little piece of paper is
that the things written on it can
never be unwritten, and that all the
writing on it is for friendliness, for
good faith, for peace.

Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole

Sick kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of
life-giving albumen from the blood
into the urine, and the SUBSTITUTION
of poisonous uric acid mat goes
broadcast through the system, SOW
ing the seeds OF disease. LOSS OF
albumen causes WEAKNESS, 4angor,
depression. Uric poisoning causes
rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea,
cricks in the back, gravel and Aiuney
stones. The proper treatment is a
kidney treatment, and the best rem
edy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Great
Mitchell cures prove it.
Mrs. John II. Wright, COG E.
First ST., Mitchell. S. D., says: For
more than ten years l suffered from
kidney complaint. Several years ago
a physician told me that the most
l could get was temporary relief,
and that my disease was incurable.
I took medicine for a long time until
l became discouraged. There was
a dragging pain and lameness in
my back that at times almost dis
abled me. also had dreadful
spells of dizziness which prevented
me from leaving the house. The
kidney secretions were very irreg-
ular. unnatural in appearance and
plainly showed that my kidneys were
in a deranged condition. A friend
praised Doan's Kidney Pills SO
highly that l made up my mind to
give them a trial, and procured a
box at Diehl & Browns drug store.
l took them as directed and received
immediate relief. The pain in my
limbs and loins have entirely dis
appeared, and my kidneys are

DIVORCES TO NeBRAskA
The New La2 IN South Dakota is
Driving the Divorce Seekers
Over Into Nebraska Now.


The Sioux City Journal: Omaha
and Carson City, Neb., will now reap
the harvest of sheckles and notoriety
that was Sioux Falls before the peo-
pie of South Dakota voted to extend
the term of residence necessary to
secure a divorce from six months to
one year, at the election on Nova.
This is the testimony of Park Davis
a veteran lawyer of Sioux Falls, who
yesterday was a guest at the home
of DR.. S.. G.. Hatch, 1918 Jackson St.
Since the South Dakota law was
amended last month Nh. Davis has
sent four diyorce-seeking pilgrims to
Omaha and one to Carson City. He
said that at least two persons had
come to Sioux Falls since the change
and would remain the full year, al
though they knew the change in laws.
An Advocate Of Divorce.
He is an advocate of divorce, and
while he admits that Sioux Falls and
South Dakota have won unpleasant
n%otoriety, because of the easy condi-

were helpful and a real godsend to
scores Of unfortunate men and wo-
men who found in them relief from

The Sioux Falls Press has COM
menced on a herculean task-that of
trying to work a reformation in the
spirit that prevails in the queen city
to get one another's scalp. In the
past six months the press Of the state
has been publishing some unkind
things about Sioux Falls showing the
spirit which actuates its citizens in
doing things the wrong way and not
tended to add to the development
Of the city's interests. Recently the
Press published a great many ex-
tracts from the country press to show
the Sioux Falls people the way they
are appreciated away from home,
and then set forth some expressions
which 1t thinks the people of the
queen city should avoid. and urges
a get-together plan Of operation
whereby Sioux Falls can be made to
develop along legitina ate lines. The
idea is a very good ono for the Press
to propose. and some six months age
