A Populist AfieId

The Hon. Henry l.. Loucks, at one
time national character in populist
camps, is at work in the South Dakota
political vineyard, in behalf, ic is very
credibly averred, of Senator LaFol-
lette's presidential boom. In the fer
vent days of the early COS Mr.. Loucks
himself issued from the dreary prairies
of Deuel. county and bore forward with
his utmost might the banners of reform.
No matter what he does or does not do
for La Follette's cause, Mr.. Loucks
will long be remembered as populst,
to the exclusion of later espousals. In
that role he was type-the careworn
face, the dreamful, eager eye, even the
flowing, wind Haunted whiskers. He
campaigned in his own behalf for the
governorship of South Dakota. He
was not an orator, was not magnetic,
but he, nevertheless, came close to the
hearts of men. The elder politicians
still point to his whirlwind assault
against his opponents as the roast OK
canvass, for despite trying seasons in
those days, the populists found tat cat
tie for barbe 'ues.
Mr.. Loucks travelled from place to
place over the prairies Of the young
commonwealth, dining not infrequently
in settlers homes of sod or logs. Such
men as Louis Grill and Andrew Lee
upheld his hands and he was almost
worshiped by the valiant little army of
reformers, The thunder and lightning
he hedled to introduce to the world are
rolling and flashing today under other
names his elemental children no
longer.

First Governor at Yankton

81 declare the golden jubilee open.
These words, after short but eloquent
address, were heard by Yankton citi-
zens last night, and Immediately after
wards the man who spoke them pressed
a button that Illuminated the city with
thousands of electric globes.
The speaker was William Jayne, the
first governor Of the Territory OF
Dakota, appointed by his intimate
friend, Abraham Lincoln, in 1861. Mr..
Jayne left the territory in 1863, not to
return again until almost fifty years
had rolled by since last he addressed
the people of Yankton.
The former governor, now So years
of age, but wonderfully well preserved
and active, relates an interesting incl
dent of his trip from his home at
Springfield, Ill. This side of Chicago
he was chatting with another gentle
man in the sleeping car and remarked:
II am going to Dakota, to Yankton,
where the people are having an old set
tiers reunion. was the first COVER
nor of Dakota territory.
Indeed, that is most interesting,
responded his travelling companion. Il
too, am going to Yankton. am the
present governor.
1t was Governor r, S. Wesley,
returning from business trip to Pitts
burg. The two then came together
and Yankton's reception committee had
the pleasure of welcoming both the
first and present governor at the same
time.
On the committee was Major j. X.
Hanson, whom former Governor Jayne
recognized at once. A second member
of that committee was Mrs. c. II.
Bates the chairman, who was intro
duced as the daughter of H. G. Ash.

Less Saloons in Aberdeen

Aberdeen at present possesses over
forty saloons, although the latest fed
eral census gave the city population
of but 10, 1853. The licenses of
the saloon men all expire July l, and
applications for renewal have been
made by most of them. At the meet
ing of the city commissioners last
week the petitions of five saloon
keepers George Deitlein, Louis Poul-
lot, George l.. Cease, E. o. Cooley and
John p. Knight-were rejected, and
those of twenty-eight others who
applied for licenses were laid over until
the next meeting of the commission.
The rejection of the five petitions is
taken to mean that the commissioners
have concluded to reduce the number
of saloons, but just how many will be
Topped off is not known.

Condition of State Treasury

The statement of condition of the
state treasury for May 81, showed a
total of 1884, 1888 in the treasury, and
of this $197, $50 was in the general
fund. This means that the state is
paying cash, and as the returns from
the June call are beginning to come
along, there will be no need to register
warrants for some time, possibly not
before the receipts on the September
call again put cash in the treasury.
The total cash on hand will be materi-
ally reduced after the fifteenth of this
month, when the income from the
school fund is distributed among the
counties. This fund shows SAG, 769 in
the statement, and with that drawn
GU. the total cash on hand will. be
materially reduced. While the state
game warden in the past few weeks
drew out of his fund the cash necessary
for distribution of Chinese pheasants
over the state, there is yet in that fund
$40. l26, and no doubt part of this will
be used for further stocking of the
state with game before the end of the
year.

time in this state this year by having
the government or Indian title trans
ferred t. private owners, either through
final proofs or through sale. All the
government land offices in the state
have sent their reports to the state
auditors department, The Rapid City
district leads the list with 2,S63 new
tracts for taxation. Timber Lake is
the lowest with 229,
These figures mean an increase of five

increase, as the average assessed valu-
alton of lands will not be changed
materially from the figures of year

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Deborah (Robbins) Cobb died
May 18th at her home in Thomaston,
after a brief illness, aged 80 years, 9
months and "a days. She was the daugh-
ter of w Hard r. and Deborah (MooGy)
Robbins and was born in Searsmont July
10, 1928, the third of a family of ten
children. She was the widow of the
late Alden M. Cobb, and to his loving
companionship was added an ideal home
life. Her tastes were simple, not caring
for society in it's large sense, but ever
living to love and help wherever she
could, and many have been the kind
ministrations melted out by her to those
children were born. The survivors are
Mrs. William R. Feyler of Thomaston
and Mrs. Alice A. Tibbetts of Rockland.
A third daughter, Elizabeth, passed
away when child. She is also survived
by seven grandchildren and two of them,
Mrs. Eva Marsh and Mrs. J. V. Bowker,
were quite as near in her affections as
her own children, her home having been
theirs ever since childhood. The broth
ers and sisters left are William Moody
and Adelbert P Robbins of Union,
Nathaniel A. of Washington, D. c., and
Mrs. A P Sprague of Kalamazoo, Mich.
For many years Mrs. Cobb had been a
faithful member of the Thomaston
Methodist church. Funeral services
were held at the home May 18th, and in
the absence of the regular pastor were
conducted by Rev. c. A. Plummer Of
Thomaston and Rev. Mr.. Garland of the
Rockland Methodist church. Interment
was in the family lot in Warren.

Ten Tons of Bread for 10000 Men.

Years of study and experiment have
enabled the experts of the War Depart
ment to peri oct field bakery equipment
for the army that is claimed to be the
best of it's kind in the world. At San
Antonio, Texas, in the big military camp,
the II huge ovens that stand out in the
open produce 20, 600 pounds of the finest
bread daily, baked in 10000 creamy
loaves. Pies, cakes, and pastry of all
kinds are baked when the ovens are not
filled with "the staff of life." The
bakery at the big camp is described,
with illustrations, in the June number
of Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t says:
The big ovens stand II in row and
on either side Of them is line of tents,
in some of which the materials are kept,
in others the sponges are set, the dough
proved, or let rise, kneaded, and made
into loaves, and in still others the bread
is cooled and kept on racks of wire net
ting.
"All this equipment, including the
oven. is collapsble, and each unit, con-
sisting of the two tents, one oven, the
necessary sponge cans, dough troughs,
kneading tables, bread racks, ETC., may
be folded or telescoped and packed on
one wagon, the total weight falling under
5000 pounds.
