IMAGINATIVE TAMA JIM.

You simply cannot tell upon what
daring project our agriculturists at
Washington, d. c., will set themselves
next. One day you hear that Secre-
tary Tama Jim has a flying squadron
of his very best government farmers
dashing off to Georgia to study the
pecan in It's lair, md the next day he
is out among the chicken coops try
ing to find out what makes the eggs
go bad. His researches in this last
knotty problem have received consid-
cradle attention from the public, as Is
very proper. The secretary has his
eye on nothing else than an egg that
will stay fresh perennially, 1t Is under
'stood-one that can be handled from
week to week, and year to year, and
generation to generation, and yet de-
serve the title of extra special very
fresh at the final day of its appear
ance on the table. This Is, of course,
a very wonderful conception, wen for
our imaginative experts at Washing
ton. It's possibilities are infinite.
When the desired end has been achiev-
ed brides will receive a dowry of eggs,
no doubt. exactly as they receive linen
and silver today.-New York Sun.

A PROCLAMATION.

1t Is an old and beautiful custom
established by u forefather3 many
years age to set apart each year a
day Of special prayer and thanksgiv
ing for the many blessings received
Therefore. /, r. 8. Vessey, gov
ernor OF the state Of South Dakota
do hereby designate and appoint
Thursday, November %, 1909, as a
day of general thanksgiving, and re
quest that it be observed as such
throughout the commonwealth.
The year 1909, for South Dakota
has been a most wonderful year and
as 1t draws towards the close it Is
fitting that the people Of the state
should rejoice and be thankful for
the emminence which our common
wealth has attained; for the wonder
full development OF u resources, and
for the material prosperity which has
come to us.

from her store, hountiful harvests
have been reaped and our mines have
yielded generously.
Throughout the state there is a
general awakening to the r%esponsi,
bility of citizenship, to a higher stan
dard OF public morals, and to a most
wholesome regard for the dignity OF
the law.
Let us be thankful, also, that no
pestilence or dire calamity has be
fallen our beloved state and, while we
render thanks for the many blessings
vouchsafed to us, let US not forget
those less fortunate than ourselves.
1t is becoming for us at this time
to take some thought of the manner
in which we are performing u part
in conserving, for the use Of future
generations, the provisions which the
Almighty has placed in our hands,
as His custodians. The streams, the
timber, the soil and the mineral and
fuel deposits have been entrusted to
us, not to be despoiled, but to be
conserved and passed on to future
generations, as little depleted and in
good condition as is consistent
with our intelligent use.
Let us, on this day, offer our
thanks to the Giver of all good for
our spiritual, material, and moral
blessings. Let us trust Him, even as
our fathers trusted Him, and render
due acknowledgement to Him for all
that we are or hope to be.

The witness described the position of
Carmack when he drew his revolver,
saying that he was holding the gun
behind Mrs. Eastman. He declared
that when he (Cooper) began to fire
Carmack was aiming his revolver di-

col COOPER THE MAIN

Cooper, the central figure in the trial
growing out of the killing of Senator
Carmack, was called to testify in
the case today. He said he me Car

he was quite young and brought him
to Nashville as editor of the Ameri-
can, and he remained with Cooper
until 1892 when he went to Memphis.
"Were your relations friendly" he
was asked.

Yes, when he went to Memphis

The witness said they continued to

The breach was further widened by
Cooper's support of Governor Patter-
son in the gubernatorial contest. AT

There was an argument over the aid

A BIG AUDIENCE AT
The COOPER TRIAL.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 22.-Know-
ledge that all the guns of the states
batteries would be brought to bear
upon the witness drew a big aud
fence at the Cooper Sharpe trial to-
day. Robin Cooper seemed to well
come b ordeal. The drift of the pre-
liminary questions was to show init
macy between the Coopers and Gov
ernor Patterson, the Coopers' influence
and standing, thereby TO strengthen
the conspiracy charge. Cooper admit
ted that he had secured a pardon for
a man convicted of murder through
an appeal to the pardon board and
personally to the Governor.
The attorney general had all the
revolvers in the case brought in and
asked Cooper to identify the one car
ried by his father. He could not do
so. The states contention is that the
gun said to have been found near
Carmack's body was in reality Colo
mel Cooper's substituted for the one
Camnack carried. The prosecution
brought out the FAC that Robin Coop
er armed himself after a talk with
Governor Patterson about the Car
mack editorials.

show Cooper's condition of mind. The
witness said that later Carmack be-
came editor of the Nashville Tennes-
seean, in which he continued his at
tacks uninterruptedly. Several edito-
rails were read in which Carmack
closed by directing attention to Hon.
D. Cooper and other honoraIbles, nam
ing them who threatened to knife
Bryan. Among other honorables nam
ed was Samuel Cohen, "who was the
Solomon of the the bunch. He was
a black bottom dive keeper often con-
victed of crime" This was the edito-
rial that made the situation serious,
and upon the next editorial attack
Cooper told a friend that either ne
OF Carmack must die If his name
appeared again.
