Mostof the plays were line plunges on
both sides and not much open football

threatened but once when they were
crowded down to the five yard line but
Putnam punted out Of danger. Chadron
also held during the second half when
the local team had them crowded to
their five yard line. At the close Of

NEW sTER1L1zlNG OUTFIT.
Installed at Sisters Hospital Recently
Third Largest in United States.

The Sisters Hospital has just re-
ceived their new sterilizing outfit from
New York City. 1t is the gift of their
chief surgeon, DR.. F. E. Walker, and is
of the latest French type, made of
solid copper and nickle plated and
consists of two fifty gallon tanks for
the sterilization of all water used An
immense barrel shaped sterilizing
chamber for dressings, such as operat.
ing gowns, gauzes. etc, having
capacity OF one hundred cubic feet,
which makes it the largest sterilzing
chamber with but three exceptions in
the United States. Another instru.
ment is for sterilizing instruments and
is operated in such a manner that in
struments are delivered without con.
tact with the hands. Altogether it is
the most complete and modern steril.
izing outfit in the world, and is the first
of its kind ever installed in the west.
The fact that this hospital is rapidly
coming to the front ranks among hos
pitals is evidenced by remark of q
Kansas City surgeon of national fame
who visited here last summer and at
tended the clinics. "Your hospital is to

states as Rochester is to Minnesota

SOUTH DAKOTA IN FIRST PLACE

South Dakota Heads Northwestern
States According to Doane Robinson.
Doane Robinson, of the state sta
tistical department has been working
out comparative figures on production
OF new wealth in the northwestern
states. using the government figures to
work from, and finds that for last year
South Dakota continued to hold first
place in production of new wealth per
capita of population. The figures show
that the cereal production of the states
OF Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota. from the period extend
ing from 1900 to 1908, on per capita OF
population, we're: Iowa, s676.94; Mime.
sofa, s463o5; North Dakota, sl,107 so;
South Dakota, sl,l4O6
The live stock figures for the same
period are: Iowa, s97.50; Minnesota,
s62Go; North Dakota, sl7l 30; South
Dakota, s223.4O
For the year 1908, the cereal produc.
ton per capita Of these states was:
Iowa, s97 80; Minnesota, sG6. 80; North
Dakota, $4,000; South Dakota, sl95. 90
These figures show that South Da.
kota continues to hold the lead for
production Of new wealth per capita
among the states of the northwest, and
with the increased area opened to pro-
duction the past few years, will no
doubt hold it for some time to come.

The Bryan and Taft Vote in This
State.

Charlotte Observer
1t Is of peculiar interest and sig
nificance that Mr.. Bryan's majority
over Mr.. Taft in North Carolina in
the recent election, according to the
findings of the State board of cleo
tions, printed elsewhere this morn
ing, is only 22,843, a falling of OF
nearly fifty per cent from the Demo
cratic majority of four years ago. In
1904 Judge Parker's majority in the
State over Roosevelt was Al ,679.
What is even more significant Is the
fact that the total vote for President
cast in the State in 1904 was 206,.
563, while this year the total vote
was 251,011, an increase of nearly
fifty thousand votes. all of which
and more, were cast for the Repub.
| lican candidate. In 1900 the tota.
| vote cast for President in the State
was 292,669 and Mr.. Bryan's major
| ity was 24,671. In the recent cleo
ton Mr.. Kitchin ran 14,499 votes
ahead of Bryan.
The figures. taken in connection
with the loss of three Congressman
are full of instruction for the Demo
cratic party. Whether or not thu
lesson will be taken to heart is an
other matter.

Democracy in a State of Dissolution.

After all the apologists are done.
those election returns exhibit the al
legged Jeffersonia1s in a State of dis
solution. They are not even effective
opposition. This year, Bryan, the
radical, running against Taft, the
conservative, was about as badly
beaten as Parker, the conservative,
running against Roosevelt, the radi-
cal, was four years ago. In the last
four contests the Republicans have
averaged pretty well up to two
thirds of the electoral VOTE
THE Solid South goes Democratic
for local causes. Without it, that
party would be nowhere. That it car
ried some Northern State elections
signifies nothing. The votes there
turned upon local issues. So there is
today no advocate of a national poll
cy, opposed to the policy of the Re-
publicans, that need be taken into
practical account"
