DAMAGE DONE BY BLIZZARD
Weather Man Springs His April
Fool Joke Rather Late

The Northwest has established quite
a reputation for variegated weather,
but all records in this line were broken
last week when one of the worst biz
yards of the year swept over the entire
Northwest.
Spring this year commenced unusual
ly early, but the weather-wise shook
their heads and declared that old win
ter would not loosen his grip without
one more ISLAM" at us. But even the
worst weather cynics were not prepared
for what did come. Last Thursday was
cloudy and rainy with a thunderstorm
in the afternoon. That evening the
wind got into the northwest, and by
Friday morning it was showing heavily
The storm continued until Sunday
night, the wind on Sunday piling the
snow in huge drifts which completely
blocked the railroads and prevented all
traffic. The passenger out of Aberdeen
Saturday night was stalled at Andover
and the one from the east did not get
west of Milbank. Monday afternoon
two engines with snow pillow managed
to buck through the drifts and clear
the line.
The amount of damage done in this
locality can not be estimated. Most of
the small grain was up, and while some
farmers contend that it was not injured
others claim that it was damaged con-
siderably. The fruit trees and berry
bushes were in blossom and most of
the shade trees were in leaf, and it is
evident that the storm and the hard
freeze has injured them.
The writer has resided in South Dako-
ia twenty-eight years and the storm
surpassed anything we have ever before
experienced at this time of the year.

Dakota Cereal Co. Bankrupt

Word was received in this city Mon
day of the failure of the Dakota Cereal
Co., of Kasota, Mimi, with headquar-
tiers at Minneapolis, of which company
c. C. Reiger, formerly of this city, was
secretary and manager.
We have been unable to learn the par
ticulars in regard to TIE company's
assets and liabilities, but we understand
that the assets are sufficient to pay
only few cents on the dollar. Several
Day county people had stock in the
company and it is reported that one or
two of them are heavy losers by reason
of the company's failure. Several of
our firms doing a grain business will
sustain small losses on consignments OF
grain shipped to the Dakota Cereal
Company.

AS the close of the second special
approaches, the most intense interest
is manifested in the relative positions
of the many contestants. Friends and
well-wishers of the different candidates
are applauding the energy and resource
fulness shown in the securing of " ties.
The contestants themselves are revel-
ing in the joy of good work we'll done,
and the prospect of more on the NOR
row.
Contestants fully realize how much is
dependent on the subscriptions turned
in before the present special offer
closes tomorrow night. Their constant
and persistent efforts show that they
mean to make the most of what time
there is left. The best results of the
whole contest have been in evidence
during the past week, and they will
doubtless continue until subscriptions
can no longer be counted in this "spe-
cial."
There is just one danger at this point
in the contest. Too often candidates
and their helping friends do not fully
realize the necessity of getting together,
confronting the possibilities of defeat
squarely, and doing things in master
full way at time when it will count the
most effectively. Some there are who
will do it; and others, when the final
days of the contest come and the fact
is brought home most wildly that but
one can win the piano, will wonder why
they didn't make bold bid for first
place during this second special offer.
The time is ripe now for the most Wig
orous efforts of contestants and their
friends in the matter of securing sub
scriptions. What is done tomorrow
often means much more than what is,
or reasonably can be, done the last day
of the contest.

To Go Before Federal Court

David Regnier, of Lily, after having
been complained of, arrested, tried and
acquitted at Webster of selling booze
without license, has again been in
dicted, arrested and taken before the
federal grand jury at Sioux Falls, by
the United States marshal, on the same
charge and same evidence-with the
exception that it is now alleged that he
sold liquors without government
license.
United States Marshal McVeigh, of
Aberdeen also issued subpeoneas for a
large number Of Lily citizens and farm

DEMOCRATS HOLD MEETING
Good Attendance at Democratic
Meeting Held Wednesday

The call for for a mass meeting of
the democrats of Day county to be held
in this city Wednesday afternoon was
attended by good representation of
democrats from all parts of the county,
and all day the democratic host was
very much in evinence on the streets
of Webster. They were an enthusiast
tic crowd, and the recent democratic
victory at Aberdeen and also the VIC
tories their party has gained in several
eastern cities and congressional districts
caused them to speak in optimistic
terms of the future success of their
party.
The meeting was called to order by
M. Darmody, the county chairman, M.
M. Judge, being out of town and unable
to attend the meeting, and after the
usual preliminaries permanent organ
ization was effected with Attorney H.
H. Potter as county chairman and Har-
ry Sexton as secretary.
The democrats will have plenty of
candidates and the county ticket will be
complete. In fact there are from two
to four candidates for nearly every Of
flee who are now circulating nominat-
petitions, and there will be keen though
friendly rivalry to secure the nominal
tons for several of the county and leg
islative positions. Several of the
leading democrats have announced their
intention of becoming candidates, and
it is certain that the Day county demo-
Gratis will have strong ticket of repre-
sentative business men and farmers in
the field for the November election.

MRS. |. ". SANBORN DIES
Another Pioneer Resident of
Day County Passes Away

Mrs. !. w. Sanborn passed away at
her home in this city Sunday morning
at 1000 o'clock. Mrs. Sanborn, who
has been resident of this county for
twenty-five years, was nearly seventy
three years of age at the time of her
death. She has been an invalid for sew
eral years, and her death was known to
be only a matter of short time.
Martha Emely Beers was born June
26, 1887 in the state of New York, and
was married to Isaac w. Sanborn at
Watertown, Wis, Aug. IL, 1857. They
resided there until the spring of 1871,
when they moved to Howard county,
Iowa, where they resided until the
spring of 1885 when they moved to Day
county, South Dakota.
Ten children blessed this union, eight
of whom are still living: Frank, of Min
neapolis, Mimi; Fred, of Mortified,
Mimi; Mrs. Ella Lane, of Mitchell, S.
D.; Mrs. Alice Potter, of Butler, S. d.,
and Mrs. l.. M. Haselton, Mrs. S. l..
Potter, Mrs. Robt Stevenson and Mrs
Scott Demery of this place.
The deceased lived a devoted Chris
tian life, becoming identified with the
M. E. church in early years, of which
she was a faithful member. Some
eight years ago she became interested
in Christian Science and was member
of that church at the time of her death.
She had been an invalid for years but
was always patient and accomplishing.
Her life had always been one of true,
devoted and loving wife, model mother
and neighbor respected and loved by
all. Her death comes as hard blow to
him who has been her companion for
nearly fifty-fve years, and who has
been such patient, kind and tender
husband during all these years.
During her long residence in this
county, extending over a quarter OF
century. the decaaen1 - vain
,,.s.yv iii the hearts of all with whom
she came in contact for her many acts
of Christian charity, motherly sympa-
thy and friendly cheer. Hers was one
of those noble, amiable dispositions of
which it can be truly said that the
the world is better by the fact that she
had lived. What wonder then that a
pail of greatest sorrow should rest on
the community, and the heartfelt SYM
patty of one and all go out to the
afflicted relatives.
The funeral services were held at the
home Wednesday at 1870 A. M. con-
Quoted by the Christian Scientists.
The service though simple was very
impressive. Interment was made in
the Webster cememetery.
The following poem written by M. T..
Farley is a beautiful and most appro-
pirate tribute to the deceased:
Sweet is the mother love, patient and tender;
watchful as the stars above; angels defend her
Soft Is the mother voice, like ring-doyes cooling;
Gentle as the yiolets spring zephyrs woong.
Tho thou dost wander far her heart is with thee.
Should thou her pleasure mar she will forgive
theel
Tho all the world forsake. sister or brothe;
She will atonement make-she Is thy mother,
When earth shall be no more thy sainted mother
Then in forgotten lore thy thoughts will hover,
Scenes Of affection dear now half concealing,
Comes then thy heart to cheer, her love
revealing.

THE ELECTION IN WEBSTER
City Goes "Wet" BY a Greatly
Decreased Majority.

Webster is still in the "wet" column,
but by the narrowest margin in the
recent years. In fact, the vote upon
the license question was complete
surprise to everyone. The pro-license
element confidently expected majority
of from as to rs for license, but conf
dence begets carelessness, and as a re-
suit license won by the narrow margin
of 20 votes.
The election was very quiet affair.
There were no personalities INDUCED i'm

Washington. April 1.-THE president

convention Of the National Woman
Suffrage association. He told them
frankly Lc was not altogether In sym
Iathy with the suffrage movement
and was explaining why he could not
subscribe fully 10 Its principles. He
said he thought one Of the dangers In
granting suffrage To women was that
women, as n whole. were not interest
"a In II and. the ballot. as far as
women are concerned would be con-
trollcd by the less desirable class"
When these words fell from the

echoed u chorus of feminine hisses. IT
was no feeble demonstration of pro-
test The combined Kisses sounded as
If n valve on steam engine had

In the demonstration of hostility-for
the Kissing continued but a moment
and then, smiling, as he spoke he an

this retort:
Now my dear ladies. you must
show yourselves capable of suffrage

The women who had Kissed were re-
buked. The presidents reply apparent
~ had taken hold. There were no
more Kisses while the president con-
tnued his address. which he charac-
ierzed as my confession" on the
woman suffrage question. At the con-
clusion of his talk he was applauded
and some of the leaders of the con-
ycntion expressed to him their sincere
regret over the unpleasant incident.
President Taft assured them his
feelings were not injured in the least
