In a speech recently that the best OPP
portunities in this country today
were in the south. and not long ago
said If he were twenty years younger
he would pack his grip and go to
Houston. Texas. Is such testimony
al this worth anything? Is the fact
that we can sell you land close to a
railroad and not far from a city of
100000 any attraction? Don't buy
whore yuo may or may not
get a railroad, but go with
Us and see the new south:

done. and place your moasy where
It will double sooner than anywhere
else you can place It.

OLD SOLDIERS SURPRISED
w. r.. @. Ladies Worked a Fine Sur.
prise on the Old Soldier Boys
Monday Night.

The ladies of the w. R. C. planned
and carried to a successful issue q
surprise on the old soldier boys at
the g. A. R. hall Monday evening that
was a most enjoyable event.
It was the regular meeting Of the
Ransom Post. which was well at
tended by the comrades. besides hav-
ing the pleasure Of adding to our
number q new member In the person
of Comrade Newmeyer Of Alpena, and
visiting Comrade Carver Of Nebraska
who enlivened the occasion by one
of his spirited talks.
At the close Of the session, the
doors ere opened and behold there
were the ladies of the w. r. G. ready
to invade our hall. the old boys were
compelled to fall back and take up a
new position preparatory to making
an assault on the dining room which
they we're commanded to do by the
good ladies and when the dining room
was. reached, much to their surprise
there was not the enemy but we'll
laden tables with abundance of good
things to eat. The tables were quickly
surrounded and for q, time every old
soldier did his duty, which they never
shirk. After this a social hour was
enjoyed and all departed for their
homes declaring that the ladies of
the w. r. G. are jewels and thank
ing them for the splendid supper pro-
vided and their genial presence.

The Iowa orders, through their at

Since the Home Guardians have
merged with the Loyal Americans OF
the Republic, of Springfield. illinois,
thus leaving no South Dakota Frater.
nal Insurance Order to do business,
the Home Guardian officers deemed It
for the best interests Of the many
present policy holders of the Iowa
orders and also Of those who desire
to join in the future and who are all
citizens of our state, that the objec-
ton raised by the Home Guardian
order above referred to, be with
drawn and the Iowa orders be allow
ed to continue writing business at
their present rates.
The Home Guardians have oficialIy
notified the commissioner Of insur-
ance of our state of their desire to
withdraw the objection and requested
him to take the necessary legal steps
to dismiss the case.
This is a very important matter to
the South Dakota policy holders In
these foreign orders and the action Of
the Home Guardian officials should
be highly commended.

RELIGIOUS DEADREADs
Evangelist Thompson Presented
These Peculiar Characters in Inn

posing Array at Meeting.
Taking the parable of the Good
Samaritan as a basis Mr.. Thompson
presented in his own unique manner
the message of the evening. MI.
Thompson is an evangelist of unusual
type, for he often presents his mes
sag in pantomine form and his adj
dresses sparkle with wit and humor.
SO that the audience is often convuls-
e dwith laughter. Monday evening the
different deadheads were made to
appear before the audience. The dig
niied deadhead went marching past
the poor wounded man by the road
side; then came the sentimental
%deadhead. who kindly dropped a tear
on the founded fellows nose asking
him to be satisfied with that while
me passed or with the dignined one.
Then the critical deadhead was made
to appear and 60 past the needy man
giving no help. While there are
railroad deadheads, fisherman dead
heads. the speaker declared that the
church deadhead Is worst Of all, for
he passes by and gives no service to
the church the grandest institution
on earth. Some Of the relatives Of
Mr.. Deadhead such as Sister Tramp.
and Mrs. Bogg came in for their
:share Of the evangelists sarcasm, 50
that these persons almost actually
appeared IN the front seats reserved
for them.
III. Thompson's work upon the
.harp thrilled the entire audience. for
he II . master with that instrument.
which he has played since boyhood.
The songs that he sang and played
upon the harp we're wonderfully eff
fsctiye Ii connection with his theme.
especially the songs nothing but
leaves. and .the world is hungry
for ! little bit Of love-"

Goeppingen, June 2.-The Zeppelin

cellent progress and met with no mis-
hap. The balloonets we're filled by

Of volunteers, and Lieut.. Col. Roose-
welt was given command of the regi'
ment. He later received commits
sion as major general of volunteers
and in 1901 was appointed brigadieE
general in the regular establishment.
Gen. Wood justified his promotion by
the work he did as governor OF the
province of Santiago and later as gov
ernor general of Cuba during the
irst military occupation. When re-
Iieved from duty in Havana he was
ordered to the Philippines. Upon ar
rival he was assigied to command the
military departemnt comprising the
southern islands, where the savage
Moros have their home.
Gen. Wood conducted several expe'
ditions against these redoubtable
fighters, and was rewarded with pro-
motion to the grade Of major general
and given command Of the military
forces in the Philippines. He came
home via Europe, studying military
conditions en- route. thus fitting him
self to be an able adviser to the pre1i'
dent.
