There is a practically unknown actor
In New York who has appeared before
more people in the past ten years than
any stage favorite who ever trod the
boards, and yet, in that time, has not
uttered a single line or faced, any
audience except camera. He was
one OF the first men to make special
ty of posing for moving pictures, a
line of work which now, with the rapid
spread of this form of entertainment.
affords steady employment for hun
dreds of persons Another popularity
of this dummy actors career Is that
although he never takes a drink he
has appeared before millions OF per-
sons in an inebriated condition. One
of the favorite weapons employed in
anti-saloon crusades inS recent years
has been the moving picture entertain

President Taft wanted to impress

congress TO do but to give its sole

Armour has a case where the sa-
loon is responsible for the beating
Of a wife. The husband of Mrs. En-
nett Phelps came home in a drunk
en- condition and early Sunday morn
ing proceeded to beat his wife up in
a manner most cruel. This is a sufti-
GENTLY strong argument for getting
rid OF the s~al~rl. when its puGntt
will make 4 man go to such lengths.
OF course Armour might be without
saloons and the same thing occur,
but there is less liability FOR any
thing like that to happen, when with
the saloon absent from the town it
is more difficult to get liquor. Such
lessons as these come practically
every day of the year, and they are
having the proper effect on the vot-
ers to eliminate the saloon from the
towns.

UNIVERSITY NOTES

On last Wednesday evening the
Sophomores treated themselves to
a party at the home of Ernest Wash
burn. A very pleasant time was had
notwithstanding the constant danger
from invasion by the freshmen.
Prof. A. NJ. Jayne. formerly at the
head of the science department of
the University, was here the middle
of last week and addressed the stud
ents in chapel Thursday morning.
Prof. Jayne was always very popular
with his classes and the general stud
dent body and is a very welcome Wis
itor.
The seniors made their debut into
seniorlom when they Wore their
caps and gowns to chapel last week.
The senior class is a digniffed body
and we'll qualified 10 bear the re

emaity OF the whole occasion was
marred by only one thing. the APP

class who did not seem to appreciate

BALL TO HURON
Mitchell Won the First Half in the
Match and Huron Came to the
Fore for the second.

Huron demonstrated she could
play basketball when she won over
Dakota Wesleyan at the city hall
Tuesday afternoon by the score Of
"a to "a. Mitchell showed too clear
ly the folly of attempting to play
good basketball with only a weeks
practice. although the showing made
was quite creditable. Both teams
played a careless game, allowing the
opposing forwards to make attempts
at baskets whenever they wished.
Some of the playing was rough and
fouls were called frequently on both
sides.
In the first nalf Huron started TO
play from the blowing of the whistle.
They ran up a score of Z while their
opponents looked N. Mitchell rallied
and by the end of the half were
ahead by the score of II to 8.
In the second half Huron put in
several fresh men and gradually
drew ahead. Both teams were re-
peatedly penalized. Huron's forwards
by accurate throwing increased their
lead "a to "a. Blake of Huron. and
Hardy of Mithell were the stars of
their teams.
Huron's opening lineup was:
Strong and Blake, forwards; Holling-
sworth, center; Weir and Cotton,
guards. Mitchell: Hardy and Sheeks,
forwards; Todnem, center; Kadinger
and Kirkpatrick, guards. Prof. G. A.
Warfield of the University, acted as
referee.
One of the most prominent and
the only disagreeable feature of the
game was the decidedly unsports-
manlike manner in which the Huron
crowd tried to disconcert Hardy of
Mitchell when he made free throws
flor the basket. This and the way the
visiting crowd regarded penalties.

ARE SIX AMENDMENTS.
The Legislature Turned Out Six
Amendments for the People to
Vote ON in 1911

Pierre, March 1.-THE late legis-
lative session provided six constitu-
ttonal amendments to be submitted
to the people at the next general cleo
ton. Probably the most important.
Of these is the new venue amend
ment which, while following the lines,
of the amendment On that question
which was submitted at the last cleo
ton, is different in some of it's main
features. First it leaves the ques-
tion of limitation of tax levies just.
where it has been ever since the state
constitution was adopted. 1t adds
features which provide for taxation
of licenses and franchises; taxation
of inheritances; taxation of incomes.
1t adds to the exemption class, par
sonages and residences of heads of
J UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
The second amendment proposes to
place it Within the power of the legis-
lature to fix the salary of the attorney
general.
L TIC Is llle cluul SlllldSC
amendment, which leaves it to the
voters to say whether they want IN
restricted suffrage in the state.
The fourth authorizes independent
school districts to increase their linn
it of Indebtedness for the purpose of
constructing school buildings.
The fifth proposes an addition 20
the constitution which require the
question of creation of new state IA
situations to be submitted to a vote
of the people of the state before leg
~islative action in that direction can
become effective.
This sixth proposes an amendment
allowing the leasing of state school
lands for agricultural purposes. as
we'll as for hay or grazing which is
its limitation under the constitution
as it stands.
Besides these constitutional amend
ments. the .'sloe' ballot will also o N
tain the question of county local OPP
ton on the liquor question. which
has been again submitted under the
provisions of the initiative.
These questions will all be before
the people, and With them will prob
ably be several of the laws of the
late session, which some one will
think should be submitted to a vote
of the people before they should be
allowed TO become effective as laws.

Congress met in special session
Monday, which will have to do, pri-
marily, with the revision of the
tariff. In the organization Of the
house of representatives there was

election Of Joseph Cannon as speak

cut any great figure when the ILL.,
nois representative won out for the
fourth consecutive time. 1t vas on
the re-adoption Of the rules Of the
house where there was a division
among the republicans, and where
some OF the democrats Joined with
their opponents to change the rules

by q very close vote. and the prev
ious rules under which the house OPP
Grated, and which were very arbi-
trary in their nature. were defeated
by a vote Of 1S9 to 1913. There was

steel is becoming a railroad point of
some Importance lately and from
one to three extra freight trains are
arriving daily now. Eight engines
and as many working crews laid
over here last night. This influx of
new settlers from Gregory and lripp
counties has commenced, and a
steady stream of them is anticipated
from now on. Station Agent Ryan re
ports hat during the last week 143
carloads of emigrant goods have ar
rived at or passed westward through
Bonesteel. The present arrivals are
mostly farmers who have purchased
farms here last fall and winter. The
Trip county ho~mesteaders will come
later.
Arrangements are being made for
holding a big trades carnival and
cheerup entertainment on March 26.
The business men of the town are
entering into the movement with the
old time vim that once reigned in
Bonesteel and put her on the map
as one of the best towns in the west.
Each business house will be repre-
scented, and a parade and drill, par
ticipated in by sixteen boys and six
teen girls in costume. will be one of
the features. The event will close
with a big meeting at the opera
house in the evening, when a pro-
gram will be rendered and "cheerup"
toasts responded to by some of the
leading women and men of the town.
The Bonesteel band will furnish
plenty of music for the occasion.
Some of the new towns to the west
will have representatives present to
imbibe a little of the boosting spir-
1t that Bonesteel can exude when she
wakes up and tries.
