The Hall-Jones Wedding

Miss Wilma Hall and Harry Jones
were pleasantly welded at 500 p. m.
Wednesday by Rev. Blodgett at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. f. Hall, in
the presence of relatives and close
friends. The home was prettily deco
rated for the occasion in green and
white ferns, lilies and carnations. The
simple ring service was used, the par
ties taking their places unattended.
Both young people are favorably known
to many in this city, the groom being
graduate of the School of Mines and
the bride having spent her life in the
city. A dainty wedding supper was
served. They will 60 to housekeeping

Will PERMIT
SECOND ENTRY
New Ruling by Commissioner
bennett Of Interest to
Homeseekers.
THE SECOND ENTRY MADE UNDER CONDITIONS
Department will Grant Relief When
Entryman makes Mistake
on First Choice.

Great interest centers in q decision
of the general land office at Washing
ton relative to relief to entrymen
who have used their right but have
found their Judgment of land quality
rather faulty. The following COM
munication has been received at the
local land office:
Registers and Receivers, U. S. Land
Offices:
Gentlemen: Under date OF Febru-
ary l, 1910, in the case of Marmaduke
William Mathews, the department
held that the act of February 8, 1908,
(35 Stat, 81, was not limitation on
equitable power of the land depart
ment to grant relief in cases Of acci-
dent and mistake. Second entries
will, therefore, be allowed by this of
flee, although the applicant does not
come within the act of February s,
1908, Supra, when it satisfactorily APP
pears that obstacles which could not
have been foreseen, and which render
it impracticable to cultivate the land,
are discovered subsequent to entry, or
where subsequent to entry and throu-
gh no fault Of the entryman the land
becomes useless for agricultural pur-
poses. When an application is pre-.
sented which can be allowed under
any act of congress, you will allow the
same as you are required to do under
present regulations. When an appli-
cation is presented which does not
come within the purview Of any act
of congress, you will not reject same
but will make proper notations on
your records, and forward the appli-
cation to this office, with appropriate
recommendation. Paragraphs six and
eight of circulhr Of February %, 1903,
(36 L. ID. 29ll, are accordingly modi-
fed. Very respectfully, y

MCGOWAN and Mildred Berner of this
city experienced very pleasant sur
prise this morning when it came out
that the young people had been we'd

night he came up to Deadwood to an
nounce the event which had taken
place, and to take his bride back to
Rapid City where he has fitted up a
very cosy little home.
Mrs. MCGOWAN has lived in Dead
wood the past eighteen years, almost
all her life time, and for time at
tended the public schools. Later she
attended Belmont college at Nash.
Vile, Tenn, from which institution
she graduated. She is a charming
young lady of many accomplishments,
possessed of q sweet disposition which
bodies well for the future happiness Of
the couple.
Mr.. McCown, in the short time he
was resident of this city, made many
friends, who were attracted to him by
his sterling manly qualities and ability
as business man. 1t was with regret
Sthat his removal to Rapid City wa!
learned of, and feel sure he will mak'
good in that place.

CANDIDATES
LOOMING UP
City Politics Warming up as
Election Time Draws
Near at Hand.
FIRST ELECTION HELD ON COMMISSION PLAN
Mayoralty Contest Draws Attention
--Cood Timber to Select First
Set of Officials From.

Petitions for Office have been num-
erous this week, coming on the very
eve of election. Thus far matters
political in the city have been exceed
ingly quiet, and had it not been for
the activity of few persons who
have tried to secure men available
for office, there would have been
nothing doing.
On Wednesday nomination papers
for Thomas E. Hale for the office of
mayor were circulated and literally
signed, he having been resident of
the city for many years. Fred Rugg
and James Brennan are also in line
for the office and friends claim c. ID.
Matteson will line up. 1t is under
stood no less than three other names
will be brought forward during the
closing hours for nominations. So it
looks as though the mayorality race
under the new commission plan will
be interesting with good men to select
a chief executive from.
On Tuesday petitions for Charles
p. little, ST., John p. McElroy, jr.,
Chris Thomson and Reel Overpeck
were circulated to place them in NOM
ination for commissioners.
AS TO NOMINATIONS.
Candidates for office may secure
nomination in the following manner:
A certificate of nomination contain
ing the name of the candidate for the
office to be filled, his residence, busi-
ness address, and the office for which
he is nominated, shall be signed by
fifteen electors residing in each city
for each one thousand or major frac-
tion thereof, of population Of such
city as shown by the last proceeding
federal or state census; provided that
no petition shall in any city he signed
by less than twenty-five electors; and,
provided further, that no petition need

be all appended to one paper.
Each elector signing a certificate Of
nomination shall add to his signature
his place of residence and business;
such certificate of nomination shall be
filed with the auditor of the city not
more than thirty nor less than ten

tion. Each certificate of nomination
may contain the names of as many
members of the board of commission
ers as are to be elected at such cleo
tion. (Sec. 1O7, Chap. S6, Laws 1907
The number of signatures required
this year is based on the state census
OF 1905, giving Rapid City popula-
tion Of 1,7lS. Thirty or over sigma
lures are sufficient, but were the city
correctly rated seventy or over would
be required. All members of the board
of education whose term of office have
not expired, serve until the end Of
term elected. Those whose terms ex-
pire must be nominated. The posi-
tions of treasurer and clerk are under
the new law appointed by the board
of education at first regular meeting
after election.

last month to look over Frank

who not only secured some of the
best breeding cows sold. but
bought Harris Prince goth. Beau

cally every breeder there to be the
best bull sold in the sale. Mr.. Gu
lick was also the heaviest buyer at
the Sunny Slope Hereford sale held
by c. A. Stannard about year
ago, and secured some of the best
breeding cows from that famous
herd. Mr.. Gulick has been breed
ing Herefords for good many
years. and now has herd, of
around about 800 head, among
which may be found some of the
best individual cows of the Here.
ford breed. While there is no
denying the splendid individuality
of Harris Prince goth, his most
excellent pedigree and his pros
poets as show bull and sire, he
has running mate in the Gulick
herd that will make him "go some"
to keep the lead. This is Gallant
Lad 9th, a son of Beau Gallant
by Beau Brummel, and out of the
famous COW, Petuna I3th. This is
a bull of good lines. of sufficient
size, thick and smooth, and a bull
that has proved his worth as a
sire. Some very excellent show
prospects are to be found among
his calves, and in another year, if
everything goes well. the older ex-
hibitors will have to look out for
the show herd from Jasper.
Mr.. Gulick is we'll equipped to
handle a large herd of Hereford
cattle. He owns something like
400 acres or more of the best
land in Jasper county, several
hundred acres in cultivation, part
of it tended by tenants, while the
balance is in pasture. Mr.. Gulick

Stand BY Your Home Town.

There is a town loyalty that
farmers should possess and if they
are lacking in this there comes a
time when it works to their dis
advantage. What we mean by
town loyalty is that every farmer
should have a town that he calls
his own, and that town should be
the one nearest his farm or home.
There is a time when he may care
to dispose of his farm for some
cause, and then it is when he really
needs thrifty, enterprising home
town and market. If he can say
to the purchaser, II am located
within so many miles of one of the
best ira ding pcintsin this section"
it has much to do with the sale of
his farm, but on the other hand if
he will say, Il live nearest to that
town over there, but it is no mar
ket and you can't buy what you
want" etc., the purchaser loses in
terest at once and it is only a
chance if the farm is sold. The
point to be made is that every far
mer should have good words for
the town nearest his home geo.
graphically, defend it whenever
possible, and by so doing he is ad-
ding dollars to his real estate. But
if the farmer who lives within three
miles of his home town will drive
six miles for half cent on pound
of sugar, or a cent on dozen of
eggs, that man is throwing stones
at his own children and tearing
down his farm values. s.-Ex.
