Communicated.

& ~, l9O9.
We welcome Bro. Larson in the
race for the county ~treasurship and
console him on the point of his wife's
consent in due time.
We may not be able to agree with
our dear little wife just on account of
the tariff-the tariff-the tariff the
%tariff-and all on account of the
tariff.
With the abundance of such sturdy,
we'll seasoned timber as we have
among the old settlers already in the
race, there should be no risk of land
ing the treasury in safe hands.
There Is Paul Eneboe, the best
farmer in Lincoln county, and Lewis
Larson, a raised county lad, and for
many years a regular correspondent
of the LEADER, and J. e. Hotter, al
so a contributor to the LEADER and
among the very first settlers of the
county. He made considerable Of a
racket on the state treasury last year
and tile effect of his bOmbardment
will bear visible marks for some time;
it was highly needed too.
All of these are good enough race
horses and perfectly reliable, SO make
your choice gentlemen.

Ripe Field Corn

H. e. Thayer, brought to
the LEADER Office Thursday.
August 10, 1909, at | O'Clock
a great fine ear of hard, ripe
yellow dent corn. s inches
long and measures in circum-
ferance 81 inches. We are
not positive but believe this
is the record for early corn in
the state. August 10. Just
think Of it. 1t was raised
from Bremen seed. The ear
is at the LEADER Office for
inspection. From the time
the seed was planted until
the ear was picked was 1O2
days.

County Institute.

The summer school for teachers will
close Saturday after two weeks Of
strenuous work by Instructors and
teachers. President Warren Of the
Yankton college is a brilliant educa-
tor and a hard worker and his STAFF
are all able and deeply interested in
the work. The institute in all its de-
and the amount of work accomplished
indicates progressive methods. There
were one hundred and four teachers
on the third day of the term which
proves that the teachers were anxious

work accomplished.

Joe Cannon is the presiding officer
Of the greatest representative body
of law makers in the world. yet Joe
got so low down and so snakey with
venom that he vented his spite upon
every congressman who stood for
independence and free speech. Joe's
spite makes the object of his wrath
an honored man at home. Joe would
have made a good slave driver.

DR.. and Mrs. j. F. Turner left for

30 days.
William Kerry owns and drives one
of the finest autos in this section.
He is somewhat advanced in years
but gets as much enjoyment and
pleasure and fun out of his big car as
any of the younger men, and he don't
try so mile speed or show any desire
to make a record run. The LEADER
loves to see a man like MI. Kerry
enjoy life and get all the pleasure
there is to be had. He handles his
big car with care and has no desire to
butt into a telephone pole or bust a
tire on a sharpe curve at 80 miles.
He rides for pleasure and not speed
and is liable to outlive a whole lot
! OF speeders.

A vERMILL|oN MONUMENT
For tho Famous Little School
House That Was Once Used
For Il Territorial Con
%VentiOn.

The good citizens Of Nermillion
will, on the 25th of this month, mark
the site of the first regular school
house built in the territory by erect
ing a monument to commemorate the
spot where in 1864 sturdy. God fear
ing, patriotic men, erected Il little
log school house in 4 ravine on the
edge of the old town. The NOM
ment will be eight feet high with a
base three by four feet. and Of Bed
ford marble.
1t is proper that Vermillion should
do this as that little log school house
had much to do with the early day To-
cation of the State University by the
legislature, and that little log build.
ing was the center of a political con
test in 1870, when from it's door
marched Solomon l.. Sphinx, nominee
for congress.
The first time the writer saw the
little building was in June 1870, and
a bitter political contest between DR..
Burleigh and S. l.. Sphinx for delegate
to congress furnished the excuse for
our visit at that time.
The territorial convention in 1870
met in the only hall over the Lee &
Prentis store in the old town. The
strife for the nomination was bitter
and the partisanS of each candidate
were determined to win. The day
vas hot and every man vas stripped
to his shirt ready for a fight or a foot
race. There were a number of con-
tests and a successful issue of the
battle hinged IN the election of a
temporary chairman. The Clay cOun-
ty delegation was mixed but the Bur
leigh forces believe they would sup
port a Clay county man for chairman
and Mr.. Carpenter was nominated
and elected. This movement was a
surprise to the Sphinx men and they
were furious. The chairman was sur
rounded by angry men and great ex'
citement prevailed for a time. Final
ly MIR. Sphinx called his men together
and bOlted the convention before the
chairman could announce his com
mitees. Sphinx realized that he was
beaten and he was beaten fairly, be
cause Burleigh had an honest MAORI
ty of the delegates.
After Mr.. Carpenter had announced
his committees a recess for an hour
was taken, and it was during that re-
cess that the writer went up the ra
vine and inspected the Sphinx conven'
ton from the door. We didn't care
to go inside as it was too warm The
building was not large but it was
about the only place in town vacant.
The Sphinx men did business rapidly,
as they had no opposition, and in due
time Mr.. Sphinx was nominated for
congress. The other convention NOM
mated DR.. Burleigh and tnen ad.
joured. Early in October Mr.. Arm
strong was nominated by the demo.
Gratis at Yankton and in the final
roundup he got more votes than either
of the others. Mr.. Sphinx was then
the delegate in Congress having been
elected in 1868.
1t was the first regular school house
and it was the first school house in
which a territorial convention was
held. The little building is only a
memory, and the men who built it
are nearly all gone to their reward,
and most OF the men who turned it
into a convention hall are sleeping
their last sleep. The monument will
do for all.
