KNOW THEY ARE SAFE
Under Statutory Protection Prairie
Chickens are P~estiferous

Fairfax-All through this section of
South Dakota the grouse, or prairie
chickens, threaten to become a pest
which the farmers are unable to get
rid of, simply because the birds have
the protection of the state law.
Some years ago the South Dakota
legislature enacted a law that still has
two years TO run Ii provides a fine
of s. for the possession of each ard
every grouse, dead or alive, regard
less of how this possession may have
come about. Over in Nebraska, a few
miles to the south, there is a law that
protects these birds during certain
months of the year and there is also
an open season when it is legal to kill
up to a certain number.
A year ago last fall when the open
season was on in Nebraska, the
grouse seemed to understand the stu
alton, and within a week after shoot
ing commenced, they commenced to
c~olonize in the South Dakota coun-
ties, along the southern boundar yof
South Dakota. Last fall, when the
Nebraska law removed its protection,
there was another exodus of the birds,
thousands of them coming, and in
stead of returning south, they have
remained here, seeming to under
stand that they are perfectly safe. SO
tame have they become on the farms
about here that they feed with the
domestic fowls and when driven Off,
fly q short distance, only to return
after the farmer has turned his back
upon them.
This spring they are doing much
damage in the fields, eating off the
tender shoots of the wheat and oats
as SOC as they appear above the slr-
face. Alfalfa seems to be their favor
lite diet, and a half dozen fields within
ten miles Of here, they have destroyed
what promised to he a fine crop. John
Wilson, living eight miles west OF
here had a ten-acre field which has
been eaten close to the ground. He
states that at times during the early
part Of the present month he has seen
dozens of fiocks in his alfalfa and that
in some of them there were as many
as 1000 birds. Henry Ramsey, an
other farmer in the same vicinity,
states tn tain one day theg rouse ate
off five acres of wheat, not leaving a
blade standing. In many of the fields
farmers go out with guns, shooting
into the air to scare the birds away.
This worked for a time, but recently
they have become accustomed to the
noise of the gun, fly away, a short
distance and, settling down, resume
their feeding.

STATE S. S. CONVENTION
Largely Attended Meeting at Redfield
Reviews Work in State

Redheld-The State Sunday School
convention at Redfeld was large and
the interest intense. The report of the
general secretary, Rev. +. p. Leach OF
Sioux Falls showed hat annual con-
ventions had been held in IS counties
at which 240 schools had been repre-
sented, with an aggregate attendance
for all sessions of 10000, as against
10000 for the year preceding. The
financial summary for the year as Civ
en- by the general secretary, showed
that all bills had been paid and a good
working balance in the treasury to
start the new year. 1t was the most
encouraging financial statement ever
given at an annual convention.
The program was of a high order
throughout and the discussions of a
most practical nature. The interna-
tienal worker, Mr.. J. Shreve Durham,
of Chicago, took large part in the pro-
gram and gave fine satisfaction. A
demonstration in house visitation was
made, at the close of the session on
Wednesday afternoon and $500 people
located religiously in about one hour.
The visiting delegates with the help
of local workers entered heartily into
this new feature of the order of eter-
cises and the demonstration was COM
plete and results will come later as
the delegates report to their home
schools.
G. A. Uline of Dell Rapids was re-
elected president, with S. E. Morris,

Ghost Haunts Theater.

From the antipodes comes a case
for the Psychical Research society. In
a leading Austrian theater the
actresses are almost scared out of
their wits. Every night. as soon as
the curtain goes up. the figure OF "a
tall, dark man In evening dress"
arises from the back of the dress cir
Gle and watches the proceedings with
a fixed, stony glare. while he furious
ly twirls" the ends of his mustache.
At the end of the first act he disap-
pears, and is seen no more for that
evening. He is visible only from tho
stage. People and officials in the au.
ditorium have searched for him with
out success

Guard viii Go To Sparta

Sioux Falls-The South Dakota Ma
tional guard will go to Sparta, Wis,
to attend the army maneuYers this
year, according to word just received
from the war department by Adiutant
General Englesby of Watertown. This
is the first official report received OF
the assignment. The guard will go
there early In August. General En-
glesby has called a meeting for April
13, at Sioux Falls, of ali officers when
the question of annual target practice
will be discussed. 1t Is the hope Of
the general officers that the guards
men will spend five days practice at
the regular camping ground near Lake
Kampeska, a short distance from
WATERFOWL. The war department has
allowed SIC. 900 for the South Dakota
guard, which amount will be used in
equipping two new companies, n be-
ing formed at WATERFOWL, and the
other In one or two Of the new towns
west of the Missouri river.

REPORTS from Washington say that
the republican leaders, from the Presi-
dent down, fully realize the serious
conditions which confront the party in
the face Of the approaching Congress
ional campaign and are resprting to
every possible means to stay the unfa-
vorable tide. The Aids scandal and
fractional feuds in New York. the print
ing fraud charges in Ohio and the far
reaching effects of the ugly Ballinger
investigation is greatly adding to the
embarrassments of an already serious
situation.

GIVE TIE VOTERS A CHANCE.

ONE of the.most astute politicians in
Kentucky is Judge E. C. O'Rear, Of the
Court OF Appeals. as he Is one Of the
most capable of judges. For some time
the gubernatorial bee has been buzzing
in his bonnet. but when he saw the
State go so overwhelmingly democratic
at the November election last, he deci-
ded that republican would stand but
little showlfor election if he ran for
governor aud SO quietly gave it out that
he would not be a candidate. But a
change has come over the spirit of his
dreams, and it is now said he is anxious
to make the race IL the nomination will
be given him without scramble. The
reason is apparent. He has seen the
democrats. as Gen. Grant used to say,
make fools of themselves always at the
right time to kill their prospects.
Judge O'Rear is pronounced prohi-
bitionist, as well as a strong republican.
He has seen few men stifie the hope
Of the masses for a chance to vote
whisky entirely out, and believing that
they will resent the efforts of these
men in behalf of the liquor interests by
wreaking vengeance on the party res
ponsIble for it. thinks that republican
with his prohibition record has splen-
did chance to win again for governor
We hope he is mistaken, but il he is
not it will not be because the leaders in
the Senate have not done everything in
their power to make such a result pos
sible.
1t is not too late yet for them to read
the handwriting on the wall. The peo-
pie want to be given chance to pass
upon the liquor question and they will
not be satisfied until they do. Let the
Legislators who are working for the
saloons get wise and give the people a
chance, or they will go down in deserv-
ed oblivion with adjournment of the
General Assembly.

surer way than through the fact that
whoever the republican nominee for
governor to succeed Wilson is. it's a
ten-to-one shot that he will not make
his fight before the people upon an en-
dorsement of the Wilson policies.
Judge E. c. O'Rear, who is chiefly
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation. has taken the opposite side
from Gov. Wilson on almost every pub
lie question which has arisen during the
present administration. The Wilson
regime had hardly begun before 0'Rear
opposed openly the Governors program
to curb the night riders; and they have
not been in sympathy since. Lieuten-
ant Governor Cox, another possible can
ddate, has almost openly disapproved
of many of the Wilson policies and in
Dictated in private conversations what
entirely different views he held on GER
tain public questions. Commissioner
of Agriculture Merrell G. Rankin, who
is almost certain to be candidate for
Governor, had a hard time restraining
the impulse to make open rebuke to the
Governor, when he issued his famous
pronunciamento offering pardon before
trial to anyone who might kill night
rider.
