STANLEY COUNTY POLITICS

Harold Pioneer: The newspa pers
Of Stanley county seem to he taking
hand in the graft of certain county
officers in way that may do some
good in the future. 1t charged that
certain county officials are receiving
up in the hundreds of dollars more
salary than the law allows. This is
graft that the people should know
about and although this writer is a
republican, he would have troubled
coprcience to vote for any candidate
that would not raise his hand to stop
such work.
BY the published reports, Stanle y
county has sunk deeper and deeper in
in debt until the county debt is over
5000, 100000, evidently by extravigant
manipulation Of county affairs.
Burg Brown. the democratic candi-
date for states attorney, is a practic-
ing attorney and has been for the past
thirty years. The writer knew him
well and favorably in Iowa before
coming to South Dakota. Graft in
county matters would be unknown, if
the matters such as are going onsin
Stanley county should be brought to
his notice,
1t is better to have a democrat t
elected to that Office if it will have q

GIRL STUDIES LAW TO
PROSECUTE HER FATHER
Man Who Deserted Family Is Pursued
BY Daughter for Years and
Causes His Arrest.

Muskogee, Okla. - William Sperry,
alas William H. Pound, aged sew
enty years, is under arrest on
statutory charge made by his own
daughter. The young woman expects
to graduate soon as a lawyer from
Washington, d. c., college and hopes
to prosecute the case against her aged
parent.
The father and daughter met face
to face here for the first time in
thirty-one years. Thirty-one years ago
in what was then Wyandotte, now a
part of Kansas City, according to the
daughters story, Sperry deserted her
mother and four small children and
ran away with another woman, for
mer servant in the family.
Sperry was not seen or heard from
by his wife or children for thirty
years The woman with whom he
went away, died within year. Then
he married again. Fifteen years ago
Sperry came to Tulsa, Okla. He
changed his name to William Pound
He has two children by his last mar
riage
In 1900 Margaret Hopkins Sperry,
an employee in the department of COM
merce and labor at Washington, got
special bill through congress allow
ing her mother a pension. Sperry
was an old soldier. 1t was this pen
sion that makes the daughter more
vindictive. Two years ago anonymous
letters were written to the pension
department stating that Mrs. Sperry's
husband was living and that under
such circumstances she was not en-
titled to the money. The department
started an investigation which re-
vealed the whereabouts of Sperry.
The deserted woman's pension of SIS
per month was cut off.
| 1t was her only support. When the
| daughter learned this she Immediately
set out on the trail of her father
Sperry was taken to Tulsa and will
| be given a preliminary hearing there.
His daughter asked the authorities to
postpone the trial until she can appear
as full-fedged lawyer to prosecute

Word came from them last night

In the Canadian province of Quebec,
to the effect that their balloon, which
started In the race from ST. Louis on
October II, had landed two days later
in the untraversed wilds of the Chi

journey of approximately 1850 miles.
1t had taken the two daring New

route taken by the trophy winning
balloon is believed to have covered
nearly 5000 miles.
Hawley and Post won, from all in

Salerno, was killed by an electric
shock while telegraphing the news of
the disaster to other points.
At Tore de Greco the roof of a
building was blown off and the floors,
collapsing, carried sailor and his
wife and child into the cellar and the
woman was killed.
The disaster appears to have come
in the form of a cyclone, having three
centers, the first over the island OF
Ischia, the second over the town of
Tore del Greco on the east coast of
the Bay of Naples, and the third sweep
ing the gulf of Salerno.
Accompanying the cyclone were a
cloudburst, tidal wave and violent
eruptions from Mount Vesuvius and
from a crater suddenly opened on the
summit of the long extinct Mount Epo-
meo on the island of Ischia.
Ischia and the adjacent islands suf-
fered most.
Many houses collapsed in this city,
due to the subsistence of the surface of
the earth during the recent volcanic
eruptions, and thirty feet of mud Gov
ers many of the roads in the outlying
districts.
Next to the loss at lschia the great
est damage was done in the towns of
Portici, Tore del Greco, Resina, Anal
fl. Sorrento, Maori, Ravello, Angri,
Pontecagnano, Cetara and Montecor-
vino.
When the cyclone was at its height
enormous hailstones fell and huge
rocks detached from the mountain
peaks came tumbling down. Some OF
these must have weighed several tons.
One measured 80 cubic wards.

will buy Kerjean, the finest of Breton

of it as a museum of the arts and in
dustries of Brittany and planned on
the same principle as the Maison

tany does not exist and such one
should be constituted before certain
features characteristic of the country
are lost sight of in the modern level
ing tide which is sweeping over it.
iKerjean is large enough to hold all
these and combine with collections of
mere objects an academy of the lit
erature, language, legends, folk lore
and the history of the race. 1t is also
a suitable locality for festivities, eX-

monies for the revival or preservation
