Let South Dakota Women
Speak Out.

If the women of this state who are
now convincesd that they ought to
be enfranchised will say SO, and each
90 something toward bringing it
about the amendment is bound to
carry. Permit me to say that each
South Dakota woman 50 convinced
should hold it as point Of honor and
OF conscience to assist in the COM
paign by either speaking to her
neighbors, distributing literature.
writing for the papers, contributing
money or in giving aid in whatever
way she best can in doing the siren
nous work that must be done within
.,e coming few weeks, if we women
OF the state are going to gasp the
opportunity offered by this peaceful
elective method to obtain the politi-
Cal liberty and rights Of full citizen
ship which men in all ages have held
SO do dear, and fought, suffered, and
died to gain. Our needs and wishes
as individuals, as wives, mothers,
breadwinners, philanthropists, plain,
simple, self-respecting women, should
prompt us to make all the effort we
can to secure the recognition and
power of full citiZenship.-Jane

THEODORE RO0SEYELT'S AF-
RICAN BOOK READY
Worldwide Publication on
August Twsnty-fourth

After months of preparation, and
careful supervision since his return
by Mr.. Roosevelt his gr~at book,
4" A frican Game Trails" appears all
over the United States, in England,
France, Germany, and Sweden, on
Wednesday, August oath. In order
that the tremendous initial dan .n,
might be promptly met. h.e<>r:.
Charles Scribners Sons have printed
the book both in the East and in the
West, and every effort is making to
distribute the book with equal celebrity
through the dozen or more central
agencies of Messrs. Scribner in the
great cities from New York to San
Francisco. Owing to the railroad
strike several carloads of paper were
delayed on the Grand Trunk, and for
this reason it is possible that some
persons may not receive their copies
as promptly as others.
This volume is a large octave of
more than five hundred pages printed
from beautiful type and elaborately
illustrated 1t contains more than
forty thousand words that did not
appear during the serial publication,
and in addition numerous pictures
made especially for the volume The
subjects for the original drawings
were selected by Mr.. Roosevelt and
they were made under his advice.
More than a thousand agents have
been at work for some time selling
this book by means of an elaborate
prospectus. and new applications are
being received at the rate of about
one hundred a day for territory, so
that every corner Of this country will
soon be reached, and, with the large
facilities of the publishers, it is be-
lieved that even the unprecedented
demand will be promptly filled. 1t is
doubtful whether any volume has at
tracted the worldwide attention of
this and has so large an audience
ready and eager to secure the finished
work of the most distinguished
American at the present day and the
one best known to all civilized
nations.

A portion of the tusk of a masto-
don was unearthen between Dead
wood and Whitewood, by VIM. Fl.
Williams, the pioneer of Crook City.
and is now on exhibition. The pecu-
liar part of the discovery is the fact
that over twenty years ago, the tusk
from which this same piece now
found, had fallen, was discovered a
few feet away from the present loca-
tion. At that time the tusk was
found at a depth of $50 feet below
the surface and was about three
feet long, and from three to four
inches thick. The present piece is
about one foot in length and was
found in a bed of gravel, formerly
placer diggings, and underneath a
solid limestone formation.

Unprecedented Crowds at
the Corn Palace

That Mitchell will have the biggest
attendance at the Corn Palace this
year in the history of the institution
is very evident and we need not go
far to find the reason. The facts in
a nut SHE'LL are these:
The program as announced is with
out exception the most attractive
ever presented. Pat Conway's Band,
which the Chicago Tribune refers to
as "Highest Of All in Public Favor"
and the Lyric Sextetof Chicago, com
posed Of talented soloists, of wide
reputation, will furnish a most ex-
cellent carnival Of music In the
vaudeville line Donald and Carson in
"AleX McLean's Dream" and the
Robert DeMont Trio, comedy aero
bats in, "Hotel Turnover" we are in
formed will be a complete sensation.
These performers have a national
reputation and are now recognized as
top notch attractions on the Orpheum
circuit.
Comparing favorably with these
are the free street attractions of
which there will be three separate
and distinct acts every afternoon and
evening.
The Corn Palace is now fast near
ing completion and presents most
beautiful and inspiring structure.
This years design is strictly Indian,
and comment on its attractiveness
are exceedingly favorable and abound
with compliments to Mr. Gillis, the
young artist who is supervising the
work.
One becomes possessed of sense
of intense satisfaction after having
enjoyed an entertainment such as
this, and partakes in a measure at
least of the enthusiast that possesses
the people Of Mitchell, which makes
the Corn Palace possible.
The fact that the railroads have
granted one fare rate for the round
trip and will run special trains on all
lines makes it possible for every one
to attend at the minimum of time
and expense.

That the development of this Sec
tion Of the country is fast and healthy
is shown by the statements of the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad for

in an otherwise dull year while the
passenger business increase during
the same period is $4,000, making a
total increase In business In and out
of Rapid City Of $4,000 for the
six months. The company is soon to
build a new passenger depot here

The dry season we are now exper-
iencing in the semi-arid section has
demonstrated one thing very forcibly:
that those who stay in this country
of scant rainfall, will have to do one
of two things-use their heads as
well as their backs, or get out and
let some one who will. There is con
siderable pessimism expressed through
different channels in regards to this
west river country, but today as dry
as the season has been, one can see
green spots alternating with brown
and dead ones, and strangers going
through ask, "Why?" There is but
one answer: cts the man behind
the gun" IL. A. Coates, Pennington

a Through Service in The
Black Hills

1t is expected that an order will
shortly be issued by the officials of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
putting on through sleepers from
Deadwood to Chicago and also estab-
fishing a dining car service on the
road into the Black Hills. This is
that the residents of this
section have been striving to secure
for some years and it is now under
stood that the road is about to take
favorable action on the plan. AT
present there is no dining Car service
and the sleepers only go as far east as
Omaha without change.

The Passing Away
 of James D. M'COrmick
Succumbed Early Yesterday Morning
 to Tuberculosis.

With that same quiet composure in which he was always in control of his faculties one of his pronounced char acteristics. James D. Mccormick at 3 o'clock yesterday morning in his apartments at the Mesa hotel, uncon- ditionally surrendered to his enemy tuberculosis-wh for years has been waging warfare against his sys- tenn. The odds were against him and for months it has been foreseen that there could be butsone termination.
 The deceased came to this place two years ago from Phoenix. where he had resided the two years previous. He leaves a mother, two brothers and a sister in his old home in Chicago. The body was placed in charge of Under taker Burton and prepared for ship ment. the burial either taking place in Phoenix or in Chicago, that being a matter which will be determined by messages from the mother.
 The deceased was a member of the Catholic faith and was visited by Father Lucius, Sunday morning for the last time.
 James b. Mccormick was 30 years of age on the 23rd of last August. He was quiet and unassumng in his man. near, absolutely honest and a man with many friends. Although wasted in strength, and his body shrunken by the disease, he, regardless of it all, maintained to the last that same kind Illness of feeling for mankind, that bearing of his burdens in silence, which after all is the real secret of the af Fri i'm, life and recalled in death.

 According to Mir.
