RICHARDS PURSUES
SENATOR CRAWFORD
IN CIRCULAR LETTER DENOUNO
ES TOWNSMAN AS "INACTION.
AR ,"-CONKLIN BOLTS
GOVERNOR VEsSEY.

Pierre, s. D.-The average reader
OF the political columns of the state
press will soon begin to wonder
what politics are comm to" in this
state. To find a illumination against
the powers that be coming from "Old
Conk'' or from r. o. Richards has
come to be one of the expected fea-
lures Of every campaign in the state,
and while they are somewhat late in
getting into action, both have at last
jumped into the game. Conk, who
at one time was sore at Elrod, and
didn't care who knew his feeling, has
nov turned and declares that he is
against Vessey because of the pri.
mary campaign charges against him.
He say the charges against Elrod
would have made M difference. but
those against Vessey are such as to
be insurmountable in his mind when
the voter gets into the booth. Rich
ards in his latest circular devotes
most of his discussion to Senator
C Crawford. and does not show enough
enthusiasm as to any OF the ticket to
set the paper on fire en- which he ex-
presses his views. but he has coined
a new political term which will no
doubt get place in the political vo-
cabulary from this time on in the
word ''inactionary." which is sup
posed to mean q reactionary by the

VISITED
BY SERIOUS FIRE
FIRE STARTED IN A GARAGE
THAI DESTROYED FIFTEEN
AUTOS AND THEN SIRED
TO ELEVATOR.

Faulkton. s. D.-Fire originating
from some unknown cause destroyed
over $4,000 worth Of property in
Faulkton Sunday night. The fire was
discovered about 1880 O'clock in the
evening and then had gained such
Roadway that only hard work on the
part of the fire department limited
the destructive blaze.
1t was discovered in the Warner
garage, and fifteen automobiles, val
ued at about 5000, were totally de-
stroyed. Some farm implements
stored n a part of the garage were
also destroyed. The blaze spread to
the Warner elevator, and that was
burned to the ground, with 5000
bushels of wheat and 1000 bushels
of fax stored within. A coal car full
of coal standing near the elevator
was destroyed and the Warner coal
sheds, containing considerable coal,
also we're burned. The house CT
Henry Bellmer was totally destroyed,
together with its contents.
Mr.. Warner hau a small amount of
insurance on the garage. but the ex-
act amount Is not yet known. Two
of the motor cars we're partly insur-
ed. There was $4,000 on the grain
and $4,000 on the elevator.

WEuLMAN GAVE UP
MS OCEAN TRIP
AFTER BEING OVER THE OCEAN
FOR A DAY ON EUROPEAN
JOURNEY, WHITMAN
CALLED FOR HELP.

New York City.-Captain Downs Of
the mail steamer Trent said by wire
less message this morning that at
five o'clock this morning ne sighted
the Wellman ballon. The balloon was
at the time signalling for help. Capt.
Downs Unanswered about the atrship
for three hours before he could get
in position to give aid. After that
time he rescued Wellman and the en-
tire party. The ballon was aban-
doned in latitude 35.43 north and
longiture 68.18 west. Fresh winds
we're blowing at the time.
)Siasconett, iAass.-The transport
liner Mesabe reports being in COM
munication with the Wellman bal
loon this morning but got only part
of the message. The balloon was
thought to be south of Sable island
and the Sable Island operator tried
this morning ii pick them up.
Nothing Heard of Airship.
S%iasconset, Mass.-Five west
bound Atlantic liners, all in touch
with each other, and all anious for
news from Walter Wellman, report
ed to the wireless station here at va
rious intervals yesterday afternoon
that they had seen and heard moth
ing of his dirigihle airship, the
America. and her crew Of six.
All the vessels telIsof heavy rains
and a violent. electrical storm Sun
day evening, followed by fair wealth
|er.
News is, anxiously awaited as to
whether Wellman will attempt the
dash for Europe or return, ahead OF
the easterly wind now prevailing.
Wellman is believed to be in a po-
s.tion. which can only be broadly APP
proximated, as somewhere of the
coast Of New England or Nova SEQ
tia, pursuing the general direction OF
the northern steamship line toward
the British isles.
AS nearly as can be computed the
balloon should have been in the
neighborhood Of Sable island last
night, with Cape Race $50 miles
away, as the next and last stage Is
the voyage before the final urn across

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Number Of State Institutions Is
Double During the Past
Two Years.

Sixteen state sanatoria. IS county
hospitals and 81 municipal hospitals
for tuberculosis have been erected
and provided for since January l.
1903, says a recent bulletin OF the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis.
Within the last two years the num-
Der Of state institutions for tubercu-
losis has doubled. and the number OF
county and municipal institutions has
increased from about 80 TO 50. The
expenditures Of public money for the
treatment Of tuberculosis also has
more than doubled. Not less than
$1,000. 600 Of state money was appro
priated for tuberculosis institutions In
over $500. 900 IN 1910. when only IL
legislatures were In session. The ap
preparations Of counties and cities for
tuberculosis hospitals and s~anatoria
in the last two years will aggregate
fully s3.590.000. bringing the total
Of Official appropriations for tubercu-
losis hospitals up TO yer ss.000.0O0
In the past two years.
In spite, however. Of this good show
ing. the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF tuberculosis
states that not one-tenth Of the pub
lie provision for tuberculosis that Is
needed has been made. More than
100000 tuberculosis patients are con-
stantly without proper institutional
treatment.
