Dorothy Beacon was quite unaware

In the earlier days 1t had seemed to

Miss Beacon should become friends
But, as the long, lonely days went by
Dorothy came and went her joyous
way, and the paths of the two seemed
as far from meeting as at first.
More than once she had met Miss
Beacon on the street and had shot

Late one spring afternoon Dorothy

 According to a statement by President o. D. Longstreth last night, the games with Arkansas College may not be counted, if they affect the result of the inter collegiate series.
 "I can only give my unofficial opinion," said MT. Longstreth, but after talking with other mem bers of the executive committee, my impression is that the games played between Ouachita and Ark ansas will be thrown out, provided that they enable Ouachita to beat out Cumberland. However, the ma ter will have to come before the co nmttee meeting on May go for decision.

Man Alone Saved When Boat CapsIzed
In River at Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls.-Two deaths resulted
from small boat capsizing on the
Blk Sioux river, just east OF the Great
Northern railroad bridge, here, the
victims being Miss Mabel Meisenheld-
er, aged %, and her sister Pearl, aged
20. The former was a teacher in the
public schools at Aurelia. Iowa, and
was spending her vacation at the fam
lily home in Sioux Falls. The bodies
of both have been recovered.
John Roth, their male escort, was in
such an exhausted condition that not
until today was he able to give the
details of the tragedy and reveal the
identity Of the young women. The
boat was capsized by one Of the girls
rising to her feet for the purpose of
getting better view of the river.
She lost her balance and fell out of
the boat.
Her sister then arose and the craft
was capsized, throwing the other girl
and Roth into the river. Roth per.
sisted in his attempts to rescue the
girls until he was in the last stages of
exhaustion. He then managed to
grasp the overturned boat, to which
he chung until rescued in another boat.

Cromer, England-The British sub
marine Gil was sunk by the cargo
steamer Eddystone at a point Az
miles northwest of Marlborough light
ship.
Thirteen members of the crew went
to the bottom with her and only three
were saved. Lieutenants Brodie and
Watkins are among the survivors. The
third man probably was a sailor.
The cruiser Bonadventure, with a
f1otilla of eight submarines, was pro-
ceeding in a southerly direction when
the Eddystone ran in among the YES
sells and collided with the Gil.
The submarine was badly stove in
and went down Immediately. With the
exception of the three mentioned, the
crew did not have time or opportunity
to save themselves.
The submarines Gle and CIT, in
endeavoring to avoid a collision with
the freighter, ran into each other.
CIT was damaged, but there were no
fatalities on board either craft.
Battleships and cruisers with ample
salvage appliances were signaled for
and reached the scene in the course
of the morning.

PETTIGREW ON TARIFF BILL.
Moral Issue as Great, He Says, as That
Which eliminated In War.

Sioux Falls.-Upon returning from
long stay at Washington, former
United States Senator, r. F. Petit.
grew gave out striking interview,
denouncing the so-called Aldrich tariff
bill.
1T is we'll for Mr.. Aldrich to con-
slider whether he is not raising NOR
al issue as great as the moral issue
which eliminated in the war between
the states" Mr.. Pettigrew declared.
Then the great moral issue was
the enslavement OF black men; now it
Is whether white men shall consent
to become the slaves of organizations
which possess none OF the elements of
human sympathy or humanity with
which natural persons are endowed.
majority of senators are representa-
tives of artificial persons, known as
corporations"
In Mr.. Pettigrew's opinion, argu-
ment, reason and commanding ability
had nothing to do with passing the
tariff bill. He particularly attacked
the sugar schedule, saying that cane
sugar is produced by negroes, and
beet sugar by plural wives and chill
dren of Mormons, and that each en-
riches only the multi-millionaires.

Visit Capitol Today.

st. Paul. = A special railway train
from St. Paul to Spokane and from
Spokane to Seattle may be necessary
to get Governor Johnson into Seattle
In time for him to be present on
Swedish day, July 81. If such thing
Is necessary, and it will bring the
governor into Seattle on time, the
thing will be done.
Yesterday Governor Johnson listen
ed to the protestations of Andrew
Chilberg, Swedish consul at Seattle,
and of DR.. E. Schmidt, president of
the Adelphia college, Seattle, who
came all the way from the coast city
to urge the most prominent Swedish
American in the United States to be
present nthe day which the sons of
Sweden purpose making famous.
At present the governors itinerary
brings him into Spokane July 81, and
81 he will address the National Irri-
cation congress, and elaborate prepar-
atoms are being made for his recep-
ton.
Following the second conference at
the capitol, the delegates came to Min
neapolis, where they extended form
al invitation to former Governor John
Lind to be present on the big Swedish
national day, an invitation that will
probably be accepted.
Governor Johnson rested more east
ly yesterday and hopes to be at the
capitol today. The advisability of a
third operation will be taken up after
his return from the coast.

MARTIN MAY JOIN INSURGENTS.
Won't Veto for Conference Report
Unless Duties Are Reduced.

Washington, D. C.-Representatiye
Martin, Of South Dakota, asked the
president to visit Deadwood while
on his western trip on the way from
Denver. Owing to the fact that it
would be difficult to get from Dead
wood to Salt Lake City without con-
siderable loss of time, 1t is probable
the president won't be able to accept
Martins invitation.
Mr.. Martin Is apparently willing to
join in an insurgent movement to de.
feat an unsatisfactory conference re-.
port. Upon leaving the White House
he said he had told the president that
he was standing with him for lower
duties than are carried in the Aldrich
bill.
If the conference report does not
carry an agreement for lower rates on
most Of the items In dispute l shall
certainly vote against the acceptance
Of that report" said Mr.. Martin.

COMPLETING RAIL VALUATION.
Commission Soon to Finish Work in
G. N. and N. p. Cases.

Washington, D. C.-The interstate
commerce commission expects to
have at hand within the next two
months all the information it is au-
thorized to gather relative to the val
ue of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads. This is indicat-
ed in letter written Representative
Tawney by Chairman Knapp of the
commission in reply to an inquiry ad-
dressed to the commission relative to
the need of further help to make the
valuation.
THE commission made an order
against these roads in what is known
as the Spokane case" Judge Knapp
says, land they have filed a bill to re-
strain the enforcement of the same.
In that suit carriers have introduced
testimony relating to the value of their
properties and showing a valuation
materially in excess of that claimed
by them in the proceeding before the
commission
ITO meet this new testimony It
seems important to consider the same
in the suit brought to restrain the or
der, and the commission authorized
the employment Of Mr.. Morgan to
check up the evidence of witnesses on
behalf Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific and to determine the
cost of reproducing their roads.
"This work will, in all probability,
be completed within the next two
months"

1t took the chief of police, Charles
Sutcliffe, to solve the problem to rid
the housewife and storekeeper of this
nuisance. He devised plan that has
worked beautifully ever since 1t was
put into operation. His method was
to find out who the needy were. He
knew that If they really wanted to
earn a meal they would be willing to
work for it. If, however, they did not
want to work they would not show up
around him, and il they hung around

WHITE CANDIDATES ARE PUTTo
RoUT IN TRIP COUNTY BY
THE REDSKINS.
THEIR ENTIRE TICKET WINS OUT
Now Declare They Will Participate in
All Elections in Future.-Tools
All Sorts Of EIectioneering,
But Voted Straight.

Brookings.-The Indians have gone
IN for politics, and in the organizing of
Trip county conducted a campaign
that showed that they were not a
whit behind their white brothers in
handling public affairs.
This Is the first time in history that
the Indian has ever dabbled in politics
and the large number who have taken
allotments and are therefore entitled
to vote will materially affect the vote
In these districts in the future.
At the first election in Trip county,
the whites approached the situation In
the usual manner framing up their
states with as much sangfroid as if
the Redskins were thousand miles
away. Great was the surprise there
fore, when about week before the re-
cent election a stoical Red" stalked
into the auditors office and filed for
the office Of constable. The name
signed to the affidavit was Thomas
&c. Bull but the Indians name was
Crazy Bull
Before the day was over a full In
dian ticket excepting states attorney
was in the field There was not
single Indian lawyer in the county and
the Indians Endorsed w. E. Backus, a
well known white lawyer, for that po-
sition.
The white candidates stood aghast
when they recovered from their sur
prise. White voters were forgotten
and the Indian vote was gone after.
Dances barbecues and all kinds of
celebrations were quickly gotten up,
and every Indian in the county attend
ed every one. But not an Indian would
absolutely promise white man a vote
for him. The Redmen simply would
not talk politics at all And the Indian
candidates won out in every case, in
Guiding the white candidate whom
the Indians had Endorsed. Now the
Indians say they will participate in
all elections held in these counties
which have been carried from the In
dian reservations and in which are
large ranchers of Indians who have
taken their allotments and are there
fore entitled to vote and to do any
thing white man can do except to
take whisky into his home, a privil-
eye retained solely by the white man.
