locker across two continents to her
home in the little country OF Grau-
stark, where the attractive young lady
is reigning princess. The princess
is about to marry a man for whom
she has q natural antipathy in order
to free her country from burden
some and oppressive debt. The rich
American, however, after having
saved the life of the young ruler,
comes to the rescue and saves the
nation from bankruptcy and insol-
vency by paying the debt. As q mat
ter Of course the accommodating
American ia enabled to induce the
princess to Danish all ancestral pre1u.
dfces and to become his wife.
The company presenting this ro-
mantle play has been engaged by
Messrs. Baker & Castle from the
ranks of the very best people in the
profession, and the scenery and equip
ment has been acknowledged by press
and public to be the best ever seen in
the theatres the entire season. Audi.

A Line From Chairman Towery

To the members of the Stem
ming District Tobacco Associa-
ton.
Owing TO the dry condition of
tobacco it was thought best by
the District Board not to re-
ceive tobacco on the 10Th as
was first published. However
keep yourself in readiness for
the opening dav.
The necessary instructions
have already been forwarded to
most of you requesting of you to
pick your tobacco well if you
want to receive the best price.
Do not try to put off tobacco on
the Association in bad condition.
We must abide by the rules and
regulations laid down by our
Association.
Our present sales of the 1910
crop proves beyond a doubt to
the tobacco world that we are
recognized throughout the world
for fairness, equity and justice.
Hoping that you will give heed
to this article, | remain yours,
Aaron Towery, Chairman OF
County Board.

For Washington.

Hon. +. w. Martin, of Deadwood,

Congressman Martin arrived here last
evening from Huron where he had
been attending the republican conven.
ton held in that city this week. He
expects to leave tomorrow evening for
Washington to resume his duties as
congressman from this district. At
present some very important matters
are to come before him as member of
the Pinohot- Ballinger Investigation
committee. Mr.. Martin reports q
goodly attendance at the convention
at Huron and that instead of break
in the party that everything passed off

stalwart faction of the party predomi-
mated. Taft policies we're endorsed.

ing crushed out instantly. His COM
panlons were more fortunate mirao.
ulously escaping death although sus.
tanning severe injuries.
Aside from the derailment OF its
trucks, the damage done to No. 4OO8
was trivial, her crew merely receiving
severe shaking up.
Immediately after the accident was
reported at Deadwood, q relief train
was made up and despatched to the
scene OF the wreck. The injured men
we're hurried to st. Joseph's Hospital,
where their wounds we're dressed and
everything possible done to alleviate
their suffering. Shortly before mid
night the remains of Fireman Holden
were brought up from Nahant, 1t hav-
ing taken several hours to remove the
debris from his body.
Officials Of the Burlington are reti.
cient as to the cause of the wreck, but
it is understood unofflcially that the
south bound crew is likely to be held
responsible. Those who composed the
freight crew are Conductor George
Walters, Engineer Tom Vettersent,
Fireman Tommy Rock, Brakeman r.
Il. Wilson and @ @. Cummings. A
report emanating from an unofficial
source this morning, was that the
freight train was running nearly half
an hour head Of its schedule, and CON-
sequently met the light engine at the
tunnel instead of Nahant.-Lead Call.
