Class Reception

One of the most pleasant events of
the school year was the reception ten
dered the class of 1910 by the Junior
Class Saturday evening. The hall of
the schoolhouse, which was used as the
reception room, was tastefully decor
atedin the Juniors colors, blue and
gold, and the rest of the rooms were
decorated in white and gold, the colors
adopted by the class of 1910.
A delicious luncheon was served by
the Juniors in the library, which served
as dining room, after which Prof.
Thompson and the other members of
the High School faculty delivered brief
addresses.
The evening was passed most
pleasantly by all present, and the Sen
Tors are enthusiastic in their praise of
the Juniors as entertainers.

G. {. Wade For State Senator

Gilbert c. Wade, of Butler, this week
announces himself as a candidate for
state senator, subject to the. will of the
republican voters at the June primaries.
Mr.. Wade is a veteran of the civil
war, having served as sergeant in the
22nd New York Battery during the last
three years of the war. He came to
South Dakota in 1879, settling in Kings
bury county, and in 1898 the republi-
cans of that county elected him to the
Legislature and he was returned in 1890
Mr.. Wade's record in the legislature is
one any man might feel proud of. He
is energetic, vigilant, forceful speak
er and true representative of the peo-
pie, and during the two sessions he
represented Kingsbury county in the
Legislature, he was recognized as one
of the most forceful and influential
members.
No man in Day county is better quail
flied to represent the county in the state
senate than Mr.. Wade, and we take
pleasure in bringing his name before
the voters of the county as candidate
for the most important office within
the gift of Day county.

BLOW TO DAKOTA INDUSTRY
Land Seekers May Register For
Claims at III ONE

Washington, d. D., April p. Rep
resentative Burke, of South Dakota,
succeeded in passing through the house
today the bill opening to settlement
l,50O, 600 acres in the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud reservations. A similar bill
was passed in the senate by Senator
Gamble, so the opening of this land is
now assured.
The house adopted an important
amendment to the Rosebud-Pine Ridge
bill, however, permitting persons to
register for this land before the clerk
of the courts in counties where they
reside. If this amendment is accepted
by the senate, persons desiring to reg
lister for reservation drawings will not
have to make the trip to regstra ton
towns in South Dakota, and it will end
highly profitable industry in this state.
The amendment was adopted on motion
of Representative Sabbath, democrat,
OF Illinois, supported by several men,
bers from Chicago, thee Wisconsin in
surgents and Representative Ferris,
democrat, of Oklahoma.
Representative Burke, as chairman
of the committee on Indian affairs, tried
TO prevent the adoption of the Sabbath
amendment, but the house seemed to be
under the influence of the democratic
insurgent commission. Mr.. Burke will
make strenuous effort, however, to
have this amendment rejected when the
bill goes into conference, and is hopeful
of being able to win over majority of
the house to his views by that time.
The house spent two hours today dis
cussing the prohibition section of the
Rosebud-Pine Ridge bill, which provides
that reservation to be opened to settle
ment shall be dry for twenty-five years.
Members representing the big brewery
districts made vigorous effort to have
the prohibition provision stricken from
the bill, but could muster up only a few
votes against this restriction.
Mr.. Burke also had passed by the
house today the senate bill authorizing
the listing of lands of Omaha Indians in
Nebraska, that they must be taxed.
Upon the failure of the allottee to pay
his taxes the bill provides the list shall
be certified to the interior department,
which is authorized to make the pay
ment of taxes due if there are any
moneys in the treasury to the credit of
the Indians. The passage of this bill
by congress settles long controversy
in regard to the taxation of Omaha
Indian demands. AS chairman of the
Indian committee, Mr.. Burke had a call
of the house, this being calendar We'd
nesday, and was able to pass the bill
during the afternoon, which is highly
creditable record, considering the mood
Of the house.

was blow upon the head with spade,
causing intercranial hemorrhage and

Jacob Keoke, Sisseton Sioux Indian
is in the Roberts county Jail awaiting a
hearing on the charge of numbering
George Kampeska, another full-blood
Sioux Indian, at the latter's home a
mile east of the government Indian
school in Goodwill township. Kampeska
was acquitted last December of the
charge of numbering his wife, and is
better known hereabouts as patch

ter among the redskins of this reserva-
ton for several years. He was found
today with the back of his head crushed
in and in terribly mangled condition,
his features being almost unrecogniz-
able
1t seems that Keoke and his wife had
been visiting at Kampeska's place sew
eral days and that the trio drank large
quantities of liquor. Keoke, it is assert
ed, had practically confessed the killing
making the statement that he hit KAN
peska several times with a shovel to
stay an attempted attach upon Mrs.
Keoke.

The "Irresponsible Public"

In his address before the state sup
RENE court yesterday, in favor of the
congressional districting bill, Attorney
Lewis, partner of John F. Schrader,
insurgent candidate for congress, assert
ed that the power so district the state,
rests solely with the legislature, that
'it was never contemplated the meas
ure should be passed upon by an ire
sponsible public" therefore he believed
it could not lawfully be submitted to a
referendum vote of the people. How
does the irresponsible public" the
voters of South Dakota, like this refer
ence of Mr.. Schrader's law partner? If
Mr.. Schrader should be elected to con-
gress--but he will not be-will he coin
eide with his partners ideas concerning
the public, in the performance of his
congressional duties? Candidate Schra-
der's partner is carrying "the public
be damned" idea to an extreme limit -

And later for foreign car, your tickle
heart it yearns.
Perhaps you can afford it; and perhaps
you're not so flush
So for satisfaction and results just GO
and buy Brush.
She may not be as speedy and she may
not look so grand
AS the big five-thousand-dollar cars that
speed about the land.
But when you're out for pleasure there S
no need for all that rush;
You can always be as happy in bright
red little Brush.
There are cars that stick on muddy roads
and some that stick on hills;
And there's cars that stick the owners
on the size of repair bills;
But the car that keeps a-going thru the
mud and sand and slush,
And the car that wins the medals is our
model little Brush
Now when something whispers softly
into your business ear:
To buy a cart-a runabout and one
that's not too dear,
Don't listen to the knockers who will
try your hopes to crush,
But go and take joy-ride in the run

Normal Defeats Webstsr 10 to 2

The first ball game of the season
resulted disastrously for the Webster
High School team, the Aberdeen Nor
NAL capturing the honors by score of
10 to 2.
The game, which was played on the
local diamond Monday afternoon, was
poor one from start to finish. Both
teams showed lack of practice, but the
fact was potent to all that Webster will
have a winning team as soon as the
boys get into the harness and commence
playing in their usual form.
We understand that several changes
will be made in the lineup, and that
the boys will put in some time on siren
