A Curious Tran.

A curious labyrinth in which ele-
plants are captured alive is to be seen
near Ayuthia, formerly the capital Of
Siam. The labyrinth is formed Of u
double row Of immense tree trunks
set firmly in the ground. the space be-
tween them gradually narrowing.
Where it begins, at the edge of the
forest, the opening of the labyrinth is
more than mile wide. but as it ap
proaches Ayuthia it becomes so mar
now that the elephants cannot turn
around. Suspecung no danger. the
wild elephant enters the broad open
ing at the forest end. lured on by a
tame elephant The gradual narrow
ing Of the boundaries is not observed
until the elephant finds himself in
close quarters. Having reached the
end Of the labyrinth. the tame elephant
is allowed to pass through a gate.
while men lying in wait slip shackles
over tho feet Of the captives. The
sport is dangerous one. for the en-.
ragged elephants sometimes crush the
hunters under their feet.

Bull BATTING.

Although bull bniting was cruel
pastime. it was also fulfilling OF the
law, for formerly no butcher was. al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh of any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading Of the animal in fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In similar belief the flesh of
hunted hare was thought to be superior
In favor to that of one that had been
shot, and present Of "a hunted hare"
was considered to be special compli-
ment. In the records of the corpora

This will make Schrader candidate

basis, as it gives him a district out Of

Gender Of the Sword

Among the many curious notions OBJ
tanning among the different races u.s.
ing the sword may be noted the gen.
der OF the weapon. In the north of
Europe 1t was either masculine. as in
Britain, or neuter. us in Germany,
while in the south it was uniformly
feminine. Its force and cruelty ap-
pealed to the northern mind. Its grace
and elegance attracted the warriors

Canton Leader: Martin and Burke
have the brand Of Cannon on their

the people they cannot escape the
odium Of being supporters OF man

and ask the people Of progressive

a CONFERENCE CALLED.

AL an lnIOfmal meeting at Huron
last week, attended by about forty
progressive republicans, it was decided
to issue call for ameeting to be held
on Thursday, February "a, at Huron.
1t is an open invitation to all republic
cans who believe in the perpetuation
of the principles Of progressive repub-
licanism as enunciated by President
Roosevelt, endorsed by President Taft
and exemplified In the state admins
tration since the adoption Of those
principles by majority Of republican
electors of South Dakota. A rate Of
one fare and : third has been secured
on the certificate plan and 1t is hoped
every one who can will be there and
take part In the deliberations. The
following resolutions speak for them
selves:
Whereas, The progressive republic
cans were responsible for the present
republican state administration and
have used every honorable means to
unite the factions of the republican
party, without sacrificing progressive
principles, and in open conference on
October !, 1909, at Mitchell, s. d., in
vited all republicans to unite and
reconcile their differences, and
Whereas, The stalwart faction have
rejected all such overtures, and, at
their Huron meeting have openly de-
clared Wa on the republican state
administration, and declared their
purpose to force the factional fight in
the party to the determination Of the
progressive movement, and for the
evident purpose Of restoring control
Of the party and state to the corporate
interests from which 1t was wrested
In 1905, and
Whereas, At secret caucus at the
said factional meeting slate Of can
didates was privately agreed upon,
for the purpose Of having but one
stalwart candidate for each Office in
the field, and
Whereas, Against such warfare It
becomes necessary for those who hold
progressive principles above candi-
dates TO unite and present solid
front against the reactionary corporate
interests, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That for the purpose of
adopting . platform and perfecting an
organization for the coming CAMPAIGN.

TIE prohibitionists of South Dakot
PAYS BIC RETURNS.

While 1t Is true several attempts
have been made to operate creameries
In this city without marked success,
1t Is also true that they can be con-
Quoted successfully when properly
managed. There Is movement on foot,
meeting with fair degree OF success,
to organize a company for the purpose
of operating a creamery along modern
lines. Stock is being sold very salts
factorily, yet there Is disposition to
hold back In some quarters, fearing
lest past experiences may be repeated.
Asan exhibit of the benefits derived
from such an institution the report of
the business at Clark is Of interest.
The creamery there is conducted on
the cooperative plan and has been in
existence fourteen years. During the
time it has paid farmers of the vicin-
ity an aggregate of s475, l77.47 for milk
and cream.
Commenting on the reports submit
ted, Clark county paper says: "The
distribution of this great sum has
been an important factor in making
Clark county one of the best and
most prosperous in the state" TAX
Ing up the showing for the year just
closed, the same paper says: "There
was distributed for the past year $685.
S9O.29 for cream and milk"
AS this is an additional source of
revenue from the farm, and as Pen
nington county is rapidly being set
tied up, it looks though creamery
should be established.

candidacy for denomination, stating
his willingness to meet the issues
