A commanding and beautiful
location is in prospect for Key.
tesville's chapter-house for which
the local chapter of the Ameri-
can Womsn's league has been
faithfully working for some
time. The site proposed is at
the head of the street running
north from the M. E. church,

denoe of H. A. Wheeler. The
city owns a strip of ground there
40x200 feet that was laid out as q

feet more can be purchased of
Mr.. Wheeler on the west and of
Wm. e. Hill on the east. The
city offers to donate the strip of
ground belonging to it, and it is
earnestly hoped that a deal will
be made Messrs. Wheeler and
Hill for the additional space
needed.
After the lot is secured work

STANLEY COUNTY
ONE OF THE BIG COUNTIES TO
BECUT UP INTO SEVERAL
is BATTLE-GROUND
LINES MAY STAND AWHILE
Sharp Rivalry Between the Towns For
County Seat Honors May De-
feat Division Plan For
Several Years

Pierre-While q large majority OF
the people of western Stanley county
appear to be anxious to have that big
county carved into smaller counties.
the fact that too many ambitious
towns are looking for county seat hon
ors is likely to leave them for at least
another two years without any change
in boundary lines, and appear to be
willing to allow the westerners TO c e
loose if they can agree on where they
want to be parted. But while division
sentiment appears to be generally rife
in the western half, the sentiment is
not unan nous, as the Midland boom
ers can not see any possibilities for
themselves in getting into the county
seat game under any division plan
proposed, and have organized to fight
any division plan The divisionists in
their anxiety to get the kind Of div1-
sion they want are working at cross
purposes, and while all claim to be
working for division, they are likely
to result in disappointment for all.
The Philip people want the westei n
half Of the county cut off and called
Iowa. This would leave Philip nicely
situated in about the center of the new
county as a live railroad town On the
Northwestern line, and the chances
fcr county scat honors at the st.
Down on the Milwaukee line this plan
| does not meet with favor, and they
want county Of their own to be CALI
ed Jackson, which would put kad }ke
in nice location for county seat hon
ors. Up in the northwes EN- corner.
without railroad town, but with nu-
merous ambitious postofiiees thy
! want sterling county, and the privi'e re
Of being allowed to fight the county
seat honors out among themselves as
fam ly row with no outside inter
ference after they get their comfy.
And the whole combination is milling
around, each for himself and against
all the others with little apparent
probability of any division.
Down in Lyman they appear to haze
the divis on sentiment pretty Wei
crystalized on the Jones county diyi-
sion out Of the west end. About G
only apparent opposition comes from
Presho which would be on tie di ION
line and can't see any chance of coNn-
" seat honors in the plan and l.
81 adding out. bat the two ends OF tins
county are apparently willing to try
the plan out.
The county Division proposition Is
going to be live one west OF the
river for several years with sucl ar
counties as Perkins, Corson, Dewey
Meade and Pennington to slice up
let alone the result after the vote II

VOTED ON suFFReE
Federation Of Woman's Clubs Turned
Down Favorable Resolution

AOerdeen-By vote of 16 to 20, the
South Dakota Federation of Woman's
Clubs in session in this city refused
to give it's official sanction to tho
woman suffrage cause. a resolution
endorsing the pending amendment
to the constitution OF the state,
giving women the privilege of the
ballot, bein.. rejected by that vote.
lit is only fair to state, however, that
a number of delegates were not in the
convention hall when the question was
brought up. Also. some Of the advo-
Gates Of equal suffrage felt the fedora
ton should not be brought into the
campaign as q body. These explana-
tons are given by sufrasists VINO fear
the vote of the federation will have
an adverse influence on public senti
ment, and are probably correct. 1t Is
known that representatives OF the
South Dakota Equal Suffrage associa-
ton privately urged the delegates not
to attempt to have the federation en-
dorse the suffrage amendment this
year, but the more eager suffragists,
believing a majority Of the club wom-
en- want the ballot, insisted upon put
ting the question to vote.
The convention concluded it's de-
liberations yesterday by electing Of
ficers as follows: President, NJ SIS En-
ma Hall of Milbank; vice president
Mrs. Housman of Dell Rapids; GORE
spending secretary, Mrs. Zillah Wilson
of Aberdeen; recording secretary, Miss
Robinson of Pierre; treasurer, Mrs,
Mona Reeve of Flandreau; auditor,
Mrs. Mary AIKEN of Flandreau; general
federation secretary, Mrs. H. E. Hend~
rick of Sioux Falls; eastern division
correspondent, Mrs. Belle Butterfleld
of M tchell; western division CORE
spondent, Mrs Claribel Tillotson OF
Lennon.
The convention was one Of the most
largely attended in the history of the
federation, and the sessions were all
very busy ones. Under the constitu-
ton, none of the retirin gofficers could
be reelected, but the work of the Of
f1cials was given flattering endorse.
