Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-05-21

Of a type of people and a phase of
life well worth a closer acquaint-
ance.
1t is a crisp, forceful delineation
of the career of William Parker,
a prosperous banker and pro-
moter, whose beautiful daughter,
Evelyn, is the heroine of the
story. John Saxton, an enter
prising Bostonian, is sent west
to close up some ranch and other
investments for a Massachusetts,
trust company. This brings him
in contact with varied types of
humanity all of whom play an
interesting part in a plot involv-
ing the manipulation of a traction
line, the kidnapping of the bankers
child and other events which go
to make up an intensely graphic
narrative.
The MAIN CHANCE is a ro-
nance of youth, of love, and of
success honestly won. 1t is
buoyant, yet full of pathos,
wholesome humor, convincing
realism, admirable diction and
bright sayings. Added to this is
a rare, common sense touch that
shows the practical side of real
western life.

Important New Operation

One of the rarest and most difficult op-
e~rations known to science, namely. the
removal of the spleen, was performed at
New York by DIR. George FL. Mallett of
that city. The patient is Nine. Angela
Dorriente of the Cuban Army. The op-
Grafton was pronounced a complete sue
cess and the patient was recovering
steadily at this writing. The operation
is expected to throw some additional light
on the use and function Of the spleen,
which is believed by some doctors to be
the organ that s~ecretes the blood and by
others to be the storehouse for nutri-
ment until the body needs il.

Two Million Out Of Work.

Secretary Frank Morrison, of the
American Federation of Labor. y
there are 1000, 900 citizens of the
United States out of work at present.
Mr.. Morrison declares this to be a
conservative estimate, and says that
these are the figures agreed upon at
an informal conference of the officers
of the American Federation Of Labor,
held at headquarters, and in which
President Gompers participated. This
statement is the consensus of most
careful estimates made by men who
are thoroughly familiar with condi-
lions of employment throughout the
United States.

women Police in Bnyenne. n. J.

The plan for a squad of women police
to patrol the parks Of Bayonne, y. j.,
proposed some time ago, has taken defin-
lite shape with the recent acceptance OF
Mrs. Alfred Swan of that city of the po-
sition of superintendent. Six other wpm-
en- nave volunteered their services and
many more applications are expected. The
women will work without pay and will
not be uniformed. They will wear a
badge and carry a cane. Their duty will
be especially to look after the children
playing in the parks.

a symptom of the present city of

when the Spokane County Pho

house for the annual meeting and
election of officers. Robert Fair

vice president, and next in line to
succeed q. H. Hollway as presi-

Another important matter to
come up is the selection of time
and place for the pioneers annual
picnic. This is one of the big
events of the year in the county
and it has been held at or near
Spokane every year except two.
There will be representatives from
the southern part of the county,

tonight to urge claims for the com.
ing picnic. which will be held be-
tween June Is and %.

A romance in connection with
the death of George Watson, the
grand juror who was buried Satur-
day, has come to light. During his
enforced stay In the city because
of his official duties Watson be-
came interested in Christian Sci
ence and attended the meetings
often. At one of these gatherings
he met woman who took quite an
interest in his casebecause of the
mystery surrounding the work OF
the grand jury. Watson in turn
became interested in the woman
because of the novelty of her relig-
ious profession, and thus the inter
est became mutual.
Watson was bachelor, 80 years
of age, and the owner of property
worth about $4,000. 1t is under
stood that he had agreed to
brighten up his bachelor quarters
near Spangle by having the woman
to become his partner In joys ana

ers have contended all along that
organized labor's sympathies con-

somewhat doubtful, the over
whelming manner in which the
plan was opposed at last nights
meeting was surprise. Many of
the labor leaders declare that or

curtailed than increased, and the
vote last night was unanimous in
opposing the latter.

With its report for the month Of
March giving a profit of $553.6S.
the crematory department is shown
to have made the city more money
last month than at any time since
last June, when the total profits
amounted to about $500. Superin-

that during April, May and June OF
this year this department win be
about as profitable an enterprise
as the city maintains. eThe re-
port yet shows a pretty fat unpaid
account hanging over from last
year. The expenses for March
were comparatively light.

shaved off Waddell & Harrington's
bill for $1,000, on the Mission ave-

also be read to the council tonight.
City Comptroller Farley de-
clares this bill is $1O45 in excess

Cadillac garage for $50 also ran
amuck. The council has been ad-
vised that these, too, are objection
able.
