 It is understood that Savage will carry the votes of the senators from this por- tion of the state. Conniff is stronger In and around Montgomery, where he form erly lived.
 The opposition to Kyle is based it is understood, on the errors found in several of the bills which were passed by both branches of the legislature at the last ses- sion of that body.

Malone Makes Statement.

Malone Makes Statement.
 W. N. Malone thinks the commission form of government just the thing for Birmingham, and in this connection said:
 From the experience of other cities Birmingham would undoubtedly profit by adopting the commission form of government, and I, for one, would be glad to see the legislature pass a bill providing for 1t. There appears to be no doubt as to its economical features. Of course, the commissioners would draw good salaries, but this in itself forms one of the strong arguments for the commission form. Good men could be secured to handle the city's affairs and things would consequently be run in a systematic manner. With 22 alder men drawing not cent for their services. matters are apt to be handled lightly which would receive careful consideration at the hands of paid commissioners. and the amount of money saved to the city in this way would surely be great
 "Then we would have done with the constant turmoil existing in a city council. do not mean to cast re- factions upon our present board for, really I think they are handling af- fairs about as well as they could be handled under aldermanic rule. The commission form of government present probabilities of improvement and I think we sh ould try it. Should it not prove as successful as desired we could change back in a couple of years. but I believe that if once tried in Birming ham 1t will prove so popular that 1t will never be changed"
 RuduIph Gives Opinion.
 z. T. Rudulph thinks the progress of the times demands changes and be- lieves the commission government Birminghams stepping stone to suc- cess He thinks there should not be more than two men besides the mayor on the commission. His words in this regard were as follows:
 T believe that changes from time to time in the municipal systems of this country work for good, as a rule. I am in favor of a commission form of government for Birmingham.
 "I think commission system the most business like, but am decidedly opposed to the proposition of having as many as four commissioners be- sides the mayor. The mayor and two other commissioners would be suf- ficient, and from such commission I believe we would have business-liks results. The main objection to a com mission of five Is the expense in the way of salaries without any adequate return"

FAVOR THE COMMISSION Richard W. Massey Advances
 Strong Argument MALONE WANTS CHANGE RuduIph Believes Two Commissioners With the Mayor Will Solve the Problem-subIect Has Become
 Very Live.

Discussion of the commission form of government has waxed warm in Bir- mingham during the past few days, the near approach of the convening of the legislature making 1t live topic of conversation. That a commission would be a desirable method of run ming a city is the belief expressed by many, while there are many who be- lieve the aldermanic system cannot be improved upon.
 Richard W. Massey Is one of those who is very much in favor of a com- mission. He has witnessed it's workings in other cities and his talk with resi- dents of these places has revealed the fact to him that they were pleased with 1t.
 "The commission form of government has proved a success in every city, I believe, where it has been tried, nota ply Houston, Galveston and Austin Tex, where I am informed it has worked satisfactorily to citizens, put ting the cities on a good business basis and eliminating the ward politician" said MT. Massey. "The commission form of government, if adopted for the city of Birmingha am, will give us an ad- ministration in municipal affairs of Q high order concentrating responsibility and insuring economic and progressive policies. I trust adequate legislation will be passed at the called session of  and success for the city of Birming- bo

OBITUARY.


Benjamin Stevenson was born
in Boston, Notinghamshire, Eng,
on the 25th day of November 1888.
In July 1867 he married Miss Eliz-
abeth Harrison at Nottingham,
Eng, and they came to America
in 1869. For Is years they lived
in Argyle, Wis. and then In 1884
came to South Dakota settling on
a farm in the vicinity of Scotland.
Five years ago Mr.. Steyenson's
health began to fail making it i'm
possible for him to work as much
as he would have wished and two
years ago last spring gave up farm
ing and purchased a residence in
the west part of Scotland where he
was enjoying fairly good health for
him until Sunday Apr. 18th. On
that day he suffered a sudden at
tack of grippe while he was at his
eldest son, Jos. Stevenson's. He
was taken home and on Monday
seemed better and on Tuesday, be-
ing very anxious to vote he rode up
to the polls and back. He was
we'll wrapped up but must have
taken cold for he suffered a relapse
and from that day he was not out
of his bed but for intervals of a
few minutes. The grippe was bro
ken up but it left an old chronic
bladder trouble in a very aggravat-
ed condition. All that loving hands
and the skill of physicians could
do was done for his relief but was
of no avail. As a last resort it
seemed best to attempt an opera
ton and he was taken to Sioux
City for that purpose. For a day
or so he seemed to rally and then
gradually failed and died on the 3rd
day OF July at 3 o'clock. The re-
mains We're brought to Scotland

Nh Stevenson was one of the pi-
oneers of Bon Homme county and
has la large acquaintance among
both the old and newer settlers.
These appreciated his warm heart
ed friendliness and never failing
good nature, and he will be missed
from our midst.
There survive him to mourn his
loss, the wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Ste

Dearest Father you have left us,
Never more on earth to roam,
For the hand of God hath beckoned
You to your eternal home.
While today our hearts are bleeding,
And our eyes with tears o'erlow,
We look to God in Heaven
For strength to bear our woe.
We shall never hear your footsteps,
Nor your cheerful voice again,
But we know that you are resting,
Free from all your earthly pain.
shall miss you, Dearest Father.
Miss you more than tongue can tell,
some day we hope to meet you

WIDOW OF ADMIRAL's NEPHEW
MAINTAINS HUSBAND DIED
BY OWN HAND.
TO CALL FIRE ARMS EXPERTS
Lack OF Motive Weakens Circuns-
stantiaI Case Against the De-
PENDANT and Verdict OF Ac.
quittaI Is Expected.

Lyons, New York. - Mrs. Geor-
gia r. Sampson Of Mecedon, was
placed on trial Monday before Justice
Adelbert P. Rich, for the murder No
vember 10 last of her husband, Harry
Sampson, nephew of the late Rear
Admiral William T. Sampson.
She maintains her innocence. All
the evidence against the young wo-
man is circumstantial. The commu.
nifty is divided, but the general opin-
ion is that she will be acquitted, as
the question of motive is much in
the dark.
The prosecution will try to prove
that Mrs. Sampson made mysterious
trips to Rochester to meet another
a and that she and her husband
quarreled about this. Mrs. Sampson
will admit a quarrel the night before
the tragedy but insists that her hus-
band committed suicide through a
misunderstanding.
Mrs. Sampson is b~efriended by
Miss Theresa Collins, daughter of the
sheriff, who has been her constant
companion in Jail. The prisoner sat
with her attorneys, George S. Tinkle-
paugh of Palmyra and Assemblyman
Edison w. Hamm of this place. The
prosecution was represented by Dis.
trict Attorney Joseph Gilbert.
A special venire of 124 residents of
Wayne county had been summoned
nnd from tho o,tIooL II ic liEal1- tho
jury will be made UP mostly of farm
ers. District Attorney Gilbert will
allege that Harry Sampson was killed
by his wife after a violent quarrel
that lasted all night.
His strongest witness, DR.. Hamil
ton, is depended on to show by meas
urements taken of the dead man, that
his arms were not long enough for
him to have held the rifle and fired
the shot. He will also swear that
there were no powder stains on the
clothing or person of Sampson.
Mrs. Allyn, mother-in-law of Harry,
will swear that he rushed in the
room where she was sitting after he
had been shot and that he had in
his hands a package of cheese. Mrs.
Allyn has told two tales as to what
she saw, and admitted that she was
so excited that she hardly remem-
bered what she was doing or what
took place.
For the defense a number of fire
arm specialists will be introduced who
will explain how 1t would have been
possible for young Sampson to have
killed himself.

No other medicine for woman's ills

For more than 80 years 1t has been

periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it Is
unequalled for carrying women safely
