A Party Wrecker.

We can occasionally agree with the
statements OF Judge Poindexter. When
he declared at Temple that if the pro
hibition question were permitted to
dominate the Democratic party. it
would eventually destroy the party. he
uttered the plain, unadulterated tr .th
It is for this reason, and others ;ust
as cogent, that The Post has protested
against the movement for Statewide
prohibition and upheld the present 10.
cal option system which rclegates the
liquor question to the people OF The
several counties and precincts.
We do not have to 90 further than
Tennessee to behold the capacity of
Statewide prohibition to wreck parties

saloons are still in operation and the
Democratic party is divided into two
hostile camps.

IMPORTED CATTLE
STARVE TO DEATH
ON INDIAN LANDS
Shortage of Hay, and Cattle
Have Not Learned to Break
Snow to Grass Roots.

Pierre, s. D.. Jan. 27.-S. x. smith, OF
Cedar Forks, reports deep snow along
the lire between Lyman and STANLEY
counties; in fact, more snow than ne
has ever before seen on the prairfes
OF that section. Stock Is suffering,
especially animals brought In last rail-
and issued to the Indians on the Lower
Brule reserve. The loss on these is estl-
mated at from 90 to 100 per cent. Some
of the herds will be wiped out COM
pletely by spring.
1t is impossible for the cattle to Sc
cure anything to eat on the prairie, and
not enough hay was put up TO feed
them through the winter The indica-
tions are for heavy losses of cattle all
over the northwest. The u|nprecedent-
ed snowfall has cut off all the range

YOUNG BOY SAVES MOTHER
FROM FATHERS JEALOUS RAGE

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 27.-With the
assistance of her 12-year-old son, Mrs.
A. A~rnison, of Veblin, was able to
escape from her enraged husband in
tent upon taking her life. only after
a terrible struggle and a flight through
the snow to her daughters home.
Arnison is of a jealous disposition
and on one or two previous occasions
so brutally treated his wife that the
authorities interviewed. In the last
encounter the man beat and cut his
wife in a dangerous fashion. Mrs.
Arnison arose in the morning to build
the fire ordinarily, but on this day the
husband did it, and while in that work
threw a piece of coal at her, followed
by other missiles, including a glass
pitcher which was broken over the
woman's head. She got out of bed
and the man hit her with the ak,
telling her to the ground. The son
heard the row and appeared as the
man had raised the ak to give the
woman another blow. He hit his father
with a lump of Goa and felled him
to the ground. Clad only in her night
clothes the woman fled to her daugh-
ter's home. Arnison fled but was cap
tured in North Dakota a few miles from
his home. He was bound over to the
next term of court. The man was re-
leased from the South Dakota peni-
Tertiary last summer after serving five
years for criminal assault on his
daughter.

YOUNG PEOPLE MARRY
AND KEEP 1T SECRET

Canton, S. D., Jan. 27.-The arrival
in the city Saturday evening Of Ken
meth Kinsey Fobes brought the first
intelligence of the elimination of a
pretty romance in which one of Can
tons most popular young ladies played
a leading part. Last fall Miss Jean
Linn, only daughter of Colonel and
Mrs. Arthur Linn, went down to Ames,
Ia, to attend college and from Charter
Oak, Ia, came X. X. Fobes, who had
decided to enroll as a student. Fobes
had previously completed the Canton
high school course, and it was during
his stay in this city that he met the
present Mrs. Fobes. The cunning
young fox stole away from the school
and wen to Boone, Ia, September %,
1909, and were united in marriage and
returned to their school work. 1t seems
that this little play had been carefully
arranged before the school was on
sidared. So well did the young people
owe their track one of the half
dozen students from this city who are
attending the college mistrusted what
had occurred. Miss Jean came home
to spend the holidays with her parents,
n Mrs. Linn went down to Ames to
visit her daughter and still the secret
slumbered. Colonel Linn is the editor
and proprietor of the Dakota Farmers

STATE UNIVERSITY
GIVEN GIVEN $4,000 FOR
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Good News Comes to Students
as They Are Gathered for
Chapel Exercises.

Vermiltion, s. D., Jan. 25.-Chapel
exercises took on the nature of a ju-
bilee this morning at 10 O'Clock when
it was announced through a telegram
from President Ericsson, Of the state
board OF regents, that yesterday, in
company with It. w. Dwight, of the
board, and Governor Wesley, an agree
hment had been reached in New York
city with Andrew C~arnegie's agents, by
which the State university is to receive
a donation of 10000 for a library
building.
1t was we. three years ago that the
steel magnate was persuaded that there
was warrant for donating $4,000 for
such a purpose, but before it could be
made effective 1t was necessary nat
the legislature should authorize ex-
penditure for the support Of the library,
when 1t was established. At the ses-
sion OF 1909 this authorization was
made, and then q new condition faced
the board Of regents and f8culty. The
recent growth of the university points
to a time when a $4,000 structure will
be insufficient to provide for the needs
of the institution, and steps were taken
to have the donation increased n that
has brought about delay. 1t was not
until the meeting yesterday in New
York that the desired changes were
F~atlsIactotliy ADJUSTED ana the approVai
of the Carnegie board secured TO the
increase in the amount of the donation.
This amount will enable the regents to
provide a building conforming in size
and setting with the other buildings on
the campus and sufficient for any rea-
sonable need for many years. Plans
for the structure will be prepared at
once and as oon as they are approved
by the Carnegie board, building oper-
ations will begin and it is expected that
the structure will be ready for occu-
pancy by the beginning Of the fall
semester of the present year.
Under the conditions imposed there
will have to be 6 $500 a year set aside
for the maintenance Of the library.
This the regents are in position to
assure.

John Hester, who resides alone on a
farm a few miles north Of Huron, called
at the Hester shack yesterday and
found Kester IN a fearful nond
His house vas disorderly and cold and
he a frozen hands and feet. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Hester became insane
some weeks ago and since then has
neglected his stock, at least so or more
of the cattle being found deaG about
the premises. He lived alone and had
little to do with his neighbors, but it Is
ascertained that during the cold wealth
er he would haul hay during the night
time, but deposited it at points where
it was impossible for the stock to reach
1t, 80 or more head dying from exposure
and starvation. Kester is about so years
of age and has relatives in the western
part of the state, who have not yet been
located. He is being cared for at the

ONE MAN is KILLED

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 27.-Hurled
from the velocipede pon which they
were returning from work when an
extra freight crashed into them, New
ton Mills was instantly killed and AL
bert Martin was seriously injured near
Andover. Mills was pumper at the
Milwaukee water tank near that town
anu Martin was mis- helper. The two
were returning from work about IL
o'clock at night n were speeding
along the track at a rate that inter-
fered with hearing the freight. The
engineer did not see them and after
his train hit the ~velocipede did not
stop for that reason. Mills was hurled
several feet from the track and Mar
tin thrown a considerable distance, fall
ing inJo a snowbank which saved his
life. His leg was broker and he sus-
tained other injuries. When he re-
gained consciousness he crawled three
quarters of a mile to a farm house for
assistance, after which he lapsed into
a state OF coma which has continued

new STATE CAPITOL
FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
NEARLY COMPLETED
Exterior Part Is Done and
Interior VIII Be Ready for
Occupancy in March.

Pierre, s. D., Jan. 2S.-While 1t will
be midsummer before the last of the
workmen are IL of the new capitol
of this state, many of the state Of
ficials will be located in their new quar-
ters before the final finishing is put
upon interior work in some parts OF
the building. In fact, the officials ex-
pect to begin moving into the building
by the first of March, and the city,
which mas purchased the old building.
has orders TO get 1T off the grounds
In April, as 1t is expected everything
will be moved u by that time.
The work yet to be done is h COM
pletion of the marble finishings, the
final closing up OF the interior decora-
tons, and a small amount OF carpenter
work.
w. G. Andrews, the contractor on tho
decorative work, says he is fully rs per
cent lone with that part of the work,
and can complete all but the mural
work in d little more than 80 days. Mr..
Andrews has just returned from a trip
east. in which he has found the mural
work, which is being done by f. II.
Blanshfield and Edward Simmons, both
OF New York, and Charles Holloway, of
Chicago, is we'll along, n he thinks
he can have all the paintings in place
before the first of June, but the work
will not in the least DELAY the occu-
pancy Of the building. The marble work
is well along, all the pillars having been
placed. Most of the w~aInscoating is in
place, and the placing of balustcrs and
stair treads is being pushed.
On account of the demand for room
the commission mats added q large
amount of space for storage In the
basement, by having the whole of the
basement floor ~concreted, thus making
a large amoun of storage room.
The work on the grounds also is be-
ing pushed, but with the present ap-
preparation at the command of the
commission about all which can be
one in that way is in the grading and
leveling. The commission has begun
the preliminary steps towards securing
a number of lots along the eastern end
of the grounds by condemnation ~ give
the required space for the lake TO be
located on the eastern end of the
grounds.
Contractor Olson has pushed work
from the start, and will be ready TO
turn over a completed building to the
commission under the contract time,
regardless of the act that numerous
changes, which would extend his time,
have been asked for in the progress
OF the work. The people are to have
a fine building, absolutely without
taxation for that purpose. funds hav-
ing been provided by sales of state
lands.

He was trying to replace a belt when
his arm was caught by the shaft and in
a his clothing was being
stripped from him in shreds While his
fellow workmen stood below in mute
horror helplessly watching his death
struggle, as they supposed. 1t was all
over quicker than it takes to tell it, the,
vicious shafting finally hurting the half
nude body of it's victim against the
ceiling of the engine room, whence it
dropped Imply to the floor. His COM
panions expected to find him dead, but
aside from a number of severe bruises
he was none the worse for his expert
ence, his great strength having saved
him.
