BURIED TREASURE GOOD "AD"
London Nearly Torn Apart Seeking
Sir George Newnes' Gold.

Sir George Newnes' Gold.
The recent death OF Sir George
Newnes. proprietor Of the Westminster
Gazette, founder Of the company own
ing Tit-Bits and the Strand Magazine
and donor Of the international chess
trophy bearing his name, will recall to
many the buried treasure" method by
which he advertised his publica lions
in London a few years ago.
1t was announced that a tube con-
tanning 500 sovereigns had been buried
In some secret place. the clew to which
was contained in a story published In
the Strand. The resulting excitement
can be imagined. All England was
turned upside down. Then came the
announcement that another deposit of
ten lots of FOO each had been made.
Something in the story seemed to
point to Trafalgar square as the place
where the treasure was buried. and
the police had to be called ont to stop
the eager treasure hunters. Houses
were pulled down. shops invaded by
persons who insisted that they be al
lowed to burrow under the floors. and
traf1c was held up while the gold crazy
horde measured or distances with
tapes.
Finally Il looked as II they might
tear down the Nelson column. 1t was
then that the police interviewed and put
a stop to the plan. but the Newnes
publications had already lIained a ire

Decoration day, Monday, was
an ideal one. The parade was
started from the court house on
time. 1t marched down Main
street and then to the cemetery
where the G.. A.. r. ritual over
the dead was observed. The
parade was one of the best ever
held in this city, and the school
children in line, ranging from
the little tots to the grown.ups,
all carrying flags, was an inpos-
ing sight. The veterans were
taken care Of by those having
autos. The Corona Milbank
band furnished the music. The
Herald photographer has told
the rest of the story in the pho.
tos that appear in this issue.
After dinner appropriate ex-
ercises were held at the court
house, Rev. Holgate being the
speaker of the day. In the
evening Pauline was played at
the opera house, the place being
crowded. AS was expected the
cast did themselves right in the
production of the play.

Communication
Editor Herald-Advance:-

AS there is no local campaign
made in Grant County this year,
or necessary to be made, except
for the Office of Clerk of Courts,
it may not be a miss to make a
few remarks in print from the
standpoint of a voter and taxpay-
er of our county. The office of
Clerk of Circuit and County
Courts was singled out by the
makers of the constitution and
excepted from the two term limit
imposed against the holders Of
other county officers and the in
tention was to remove the office
as far as possible from political
influences, it being a Court Office
only. Further, the law does not
provide that the County Com
missioners may furnish the Clerk
with a paid deputy as in other
County Offices, except during
term time of Circuit Court, and
any deputy he may employ must
be paid by the Clerk himself and
in the majority of the counties of
South Dakota there is not enough
business in the Clerks Office to
require the services of a regular
ly employed deputy, and such be-
ing the case it necessarily follows
that the duties of the Office are
not generally SO we'll understood
as in the other offices in which
deputies are regularly employed.
In fact the Office Of Clerk of
Circuit and County Courts is a
one man Office but in the admin
istration of his Office the Clerk
has a great variety Of duties to
perform and which cannot be
enumerated here but in the dis
charge of which, training and
experience is necessary, and
Judges and Attorneys usually
consider it an unfortunate matter
to lose an experienced Clerk, and
except for an occasional fractional
or other political difference. they
agree that an experienced Clerk
of good habits should be retained
in Office as long as possible.

Now come the insurgents and
put out an indecent circular
against Geo. w. Egan, setting
forth some Of his escapade while
he Was in the state of Iowa.
The circular comes from the
iusurgent headquarters, and Is
not fit to be read in any home or
be seen by children. This method
of campaigning is certainly to
be CONDEMNED by all who believe
in purely and decency.
It will be remembered that

He made speeches all over the

platform with Governor Vessey
and Coe. 1. Crawford.
Mr.. Richards the chair man OF
the insurgent cam pain committee
offered to make him an insur
gent candidate for congress II
he would stay out of the race for
the governorship, but insurgent

they are willing to resort to any
means fair or foul to ditch him.
We do not wish to have it under

regard to Mr.. Egan that we in
dorse his candidacy or would al

certainly would not. We think
now. and have at all times
thought that he was unfit to be
governor or to hold any other
office, but If he is as bad as the
insurgents are trying to make
out. why have they used him in
other campaigns? They must
have known about his misdeeds,
and if they did it comes with
very poor grace now for them
to attack his character in the
mans er that they have.
