substituting or the documents the
name of himself and his wife, Flash
Kane, who plays shortstop on Dead
woods baseball team has capped the
climax of his erratic career here.
Kane made love to a girl connected
with A local amusement house and
wanted her to marry him. She was
willing until she learned he has a
wife in the east. He assured her there
was nc obstacle as he had obtained
"a divorce, he claimed. 1t was then
that Kane proved himself resOurceful.
He shared a room with a young man
in a distant state. The decree was
kept in a suit case, and after secur-
ing this he s~killfully erased the
names and wrote in hrs own and that
of his wife. The altered instrument
was then offered to his lady love in
proof of his claim. Had not a friend
advised her to make more careful in
|y~estigation Kane might now be in
more trouble than faces him. After
drawing his salary as a player he left
town Saturday, leaving behind many
bills. He was caught at Hill City and

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

Redfield-Two hundred delegates as
sembled at Redfield on Tuesday for
the state democratic convention,
which convened at one o'clock in the
afternoon. The representation was
not as large from the various coun-
ties as in past years because of the
fact there was little to do besides the
adoption of a platform, but those who
attended were very enthusiastic. They
are inclined to the belief that chances
for democratic success are very good,
and will wage one of the best and
hardest campaigns ever carried on
by the democrats in South Dakota.
The fight will begin at once and will
be kept up until election day.

to have displayed in bold type the

those who simply glance through a

1t is the church's business If its
business is to make men better.
Beauty makes for morality.
The Getty Beautiful will be worth
more than a million sermons.
Why should not the church have
been foremost in the fight against
tuberculosis, in the establishment OF
homes for working girls, in opposing
injustices TO labor and unsanitary
conditions in shops, in the fight for
shorter hours for labor, in the estab-
Iishment of outing funds and free ice
funds for the benefit of poor children
in summer instead Of leaving that
work to the newspapers, to theatre
benefits, and to individuals?
Where were the church forces when

that they might give their alleged sa-

wishes to be regarded as the Sabbath!

Campaigns against such evils as af-
feet all of us in everyday liyes-lead-
ership in the peoples battles for
cleanliness, comfort and public de-
cency-would advertise the church as
the greatest of all factors for good

If men interested themselves in the
propaganda of the Christian religion
If they talked as much about their
church as they do about their politi-

would be the greatest force in the

STANLEY COUNTY PUZZLE.

Pierre-The county commissioners
of Stanley county have set the 10th
day Of this month as the date when
they will finally decide in what man.
ner they will dispose of the petitions
on county division in that county.
The petitions asking for different
plans Of division are so numerous that
the commissioners are puzzled as to
the method of submission. The petit
ton carrying the largest number of
names IS backed by Philip boosters,
and asks for the cutting off of more
than half Of the county or the west
side and the creation of the county of
Iowa. A second petition asks for the
ro-estaDlishment of the OLD county or
Jackson, in the southwest part of
Stanley, which would give some of
the ambitious towns along the Mil
waukee road an opportunity to secure
county seat hOnors. The third asks
that the old county Of Sterling be
~re-estahlished in the northwest corn
err of Stanley, which would create a
county without a railroad, and
open the way for the numerous little
prairietowns in that section to fight
among themselves for county seat
honors. The commissioners will first
