WILL BE OPPOSED
Assemblyman Hambrecht Of
Grand Rapids is to Oppose
Congressman Morse for the
Republican Nomination.

From what can be learned through
out this congressional district. it
seems very likely that Congressman
Morse will have opposition as a can
didate for the Republican nomina-
ton. The candidate who will very
likely oppose him is assemblyman
Geo. P. Hambrecht of Grand Rapids
At the state fair held in Mllwau-
kee it was given out by citizens of
Grand Rapids who were there that
Assemblyman Hambrecht would be
candidate against Congressman
Morse for the Republican nomina-
ton. Assemblyman Hambrecht state
that he is considering making the
run, but that he had not yet decid-
ed whether he will do so or not
Assemblyman Hambrecht belonged
to the young crowd of Stalwart Re
publicans in the legislature last win
ter among whom Speaker Bancroft,
Assemblyman Whitman, Assemblymal
Cleary and Assemblyman Chapple of
this city were prominent figures, and
as he is quite we'll known through

Grand Rapids is getting to be quite q
city. We look at our fine residences.
our bank buildings and factories, our
schools and churches, ADD the orderly
crowds on our streets, and we are
proud of our town. Then there is an
outbreak of hoodlumism which COM
pels US to admit that in spite of these
things Grand Rapids is nothing but
an overgrown lumber camp.
On Wednesday night of last week
there was marriage service solemni-
ed in home near the Green Bay depot.
An estimable young lady who has
been school teacher at Sparta. and
who has spent her vacations in Grand
Rapids during the last three years,
was married to a prominent business
man of Salt Lake City. His parents
came from Oakland, Cal. to attend
the service. All the guests. with only
few exceptions. were from out of
the city. 1t was noised abroad that
the bridegroom was a man of wealth
and crowd of riffraff gathered to
levy tribute. In the midst of the
marriage service they began their
MISREPRESENTATION. The ministers
prayer was Interrupted by yells
and by the pounding of chairs on the
porch and rapping on the windows.
Three different crowds had to be
bribed before peace was restored.
Even girls and young women joined in
the hideous disturbance. 1t may be
imagined what impressions the guests
from civilized communities carried
away of Grand Rapids.
AS long as the police allow such
things to be carried on, with no inter-
ference whatever, it is US 9less to talk
of Grand Rapids as a city. 1t is
nothing but a backWoods community,
what ever it's population may be.
| may add that the police were
notified of the disorder, but did not
respond. n little thing like interfer-
ence With O. religious service and the
invasion of part of a mans house by
hoodlums, does not constitute a
breach of the peace in a frontier lum-
Der camp.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was suppose to
be lncurable. For great many years doc
tors announced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney &c Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
Sututonal cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

May Parallel Missouri

Oacoma-Great excitement prevails
in and about Oacoma on account of
unmistable signs of immediate and far
reaching railway movements. The
surveyors of the G. M. & st. P. have
quietly run line paralleling the Mis-
souri, river from west of Mobridge
south, touching up Plum creek, cross
ing Antelope and Cedar creeks and
touching the river again at Oacoma
from which point they go south thru
Gregory county to the state line. Very
earl this spring corps OF surveyors
ran lines to the south OF Oacoma and
to all inquiries responded that they
were leyeling the maia lire. but it
now transpires that they were in fact
running new line to the southwest.
About q month ago another crew of
ten men picked this survey up at a
point on Bull creek south Of the White
river, and pushed it rapidly to the
Trip county line. 1t is expected that
the graders will begin work on this
line this fall, as it appears to be the
policy Of the company to push 1t thru
to completion at the very earliest mo-
ment There Is no longer any question
but that the Milwaukee will begin the
construction of their permanent steel
bridge at Oacoma the coming winter,
doing much of the pier work from the
ice. Long before the opening Of the
Great Sioux reservation the Milwau-
kee put $4,000 into the purchase OF a
tract of $40. acre at this point, but ow-
ing to hard times In the early nineties
they forfeited their grant, but they
have never changed their plans with
regard to Oacoma and there is an al
most absolute certainty that we will
have the machine shops at Oacoma
| within the next two years.

The United States Government al
lows one hundred dollars per year for
clothing to each inmate, while the gen
eral impression which prevails in the
mind of the public is that this money
goes direct to the Home for its use,

from the Government goes direct into
the State Treasury and is not used by
the Home authorities in any way what
ever.
The dining room is situated in the

good, wholesome and substantial meals
are served three times daily at cost
of twenty-one cents man per day.
The table at the home will compare
favorably with any hotel OF boarding

badly due to the satisfied condition of
the inmates. The saying is, eff you

There are eighteen cottages which

The State Home furnishes each in
