Call To Progressive Republicans.

The establishment of our nation
was made on the proposition that the
will OF the people enacted into law
under a constitution would produce
the frecst and the highest type Of
government.
This call is to such Republicans as
believe the principle yet remains wise
and sound.
The meeting is called at Mitchell,
South Dakota, on the 2Sth day Of
Septemb Der, 1911, at l o'clock p. NJ.
This date falls on Thursday of Corn
Palace week at Mitchell.
The purpose is to advise on the per-
tinent question Of the wisdom Of the
Taft administration, and whether
President Taft has justifiable claim
on the Republicans Of South Dakota
for a denomination in the light of
progressive principles.
Should it be determined that he
has no claim. based upon his four
years Of administration as president,
the theological question will natural
ly be who should the Republicans Of
South Dakota favor for president to
succeed Taft.
A second proposition to be discuss
ed is whether the proposed new prim-
airy law, which is to be voted upon at
the next general election is in the in
tereSt of good government and should
be enacted into law by the vote of
the people.
Thirdly to discuss such ever public
questions as may have to do with the
maintenance of a form of government,
based on the will Of the people.
Free discussion to all will be per-
mitted under proper parliamentary
rules, except that no discussion Of
state candidates will be allowed, nor
any action allowed relating thereto.
We have assurance that the meet
ing will be addressed by Senator Coe
l. Crawford, Governor R. S. Wesley,
and other prominent representatives
Of the people.
1t is hoped to secure Ex-Governor
Hoch of Kansas, whose reputation
has created a desire in the minds of
the people to listen to him.
This meeting Is called by the state
branch of the National Progressive
Republican league, organized last
winter in Washington. The State
League was organized last winter at
a large and representative meeting
held at Pierre.

President.

CIRCUIT

The case Of the bank robbers was
finished last Saturday at one o'clock
when Judge Jones sentenced Frank
Collins and Edward Mack to a term
OF seven years in the pen, and George
Riley to a term of eight years. The
robbers turned owe the money, about
$4,000, which was found in their
possession when arrested, about half
OF the money stolen from the bank at
Tea. The opinion seems to prevail
that there were five men engaged in
the robbery, and that the missing
members of the gang retained the
other half Of the money, but no track
of them has been found. This theory
would seem to SubStantiate the Opin-
ion of cashier HOyer, who believes he
wounded n of the robbers through
the bank window the night of the
robbery. In that case the wounded
man and one Of his pals separated
from the others and took to the brush
instead of going to Sioux Falls, where
the others went and were captured
redhanded.
The case Of Eveleth VS.. Jennings
was taken under advisement by the
court and the attorneys directed to
file briefs.
The case Of Williams VS.. Williams
a settled by granting the plaintiff
a decree Of divorce with 1920. 90 as
alimony.
Court took a zee until Tuesdayof
this week in order that the grand
jury might complete it's work.

Death of Mrs. RUBY Keen.

The eceut death of Mrs. Keeps
beautiful and lOvable daughter, Mrs.
PidcOe, brought home to the many
friends Of the family in Canton and
vicinity a vivid realization that life IS
but a slender thread that binds US to
loved ones here. Only a few months
ago Mrs. Keep and Mrs. Pidcoe were
in Canton enjoying the ~pleasureable
society OF their friends, returning to
their Chicago home sc full of life and
ambition. Then came the news Of
Mrs. PidcOe'S death with her mother
seriously i'll. The remains Of her be-
loved daughter were brought to Can
ton and laid away tenderly in the
family plot on the hillside near Be-
lott, the early home of the head Of
the family, James A. Carpenter, a
heroic character in pioneer days.
Mrs. Keep fingered along on the
brink of eternal life until Thursday
evening September 18th, when she
passed away to join the loved ones
gone before, and again the Canton
and Beloit relatives and friends Of the
family assembled at the Canton de-
pot to meet the funeral party from
Chicago which arrived at one o'clock
last Sunday, and again the beautiful
little cemetery on the hillside was
filed with mOurnerS to do honor to
the memory Of one SO beloved by all
who knew her. The open earthly
tomb over which the casket rested
was only a few feet away from the
daughters grave still covered with
flowers. 1t was a saddening scene.
The ope grave for that lOveable
mother, the flower covered grave Of
her beautiful daughter, and close by
the graves of her husband, two sons
and father and other neal relatives,
with the soulful notes Of Nearer My
God To Thee" sang so ~tenderly and
so sweetly at the close of Rev. Oxley's
funeral address, presented a situation
so intensely pathetic that few eyes
were dry when the mourners turned
their way homeward, bringing us to
realize that the great mystery Of
life-the majesty of creation-is but
the initial step in Gods purpose for
life everlasting.
The choir was Mrs. G. B. Kennedy,
Miss Stella Sogn, Elmer Anderson
and Martin Juel, and the funeral ar
range ments were attended to by
Joseph Anderson. The pallbearers
we're J. V. Conklin, John W. Brenner,
Filing Opsal, Charles Seely, Henry
Cooper and David Bremen.
The funeral party that came with
the casket consisted of the three
daughters OF the deceased, Mrs.
Arentz and husband and Misses An
nabell and Fredrica Keep, Edwin E.
Carpenter OF New York, a brother,
Mrs. D. J. Carpenter, Redlands, Cali
fornia, 1. w. Carpenter Of Omaha. a
cousin, and Mrs. L. E. Tillotson Of
Lennon, and other relatives who
were present were Mrs. Phillips of
Beloit, a sister Of the deceased, and
her husband and daughter, James A.
Carpenter and wife Of Beloit, Mrs.

BIG FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Everybody Takes a Layoff and
Goes to Sioux City for the An
nual FrOlic.

The ninth annual Interstate Live
Stock Fair will be held in Sioux City
next week and every indication points
to an enormous attendance. At all
the fairs around, wherever the wea-
Their has been prOpitiouS, the crowds
have been unprecedentedly large, and
this is regarded as a good omen: it
indicates that the people are in a
mood to get away from home and
jollify. All the Interstate Fair mana
cement asks for is a week of. good
weather-the Fair will more than
justify all that has been promised for
it.
The association which is responsible
fer the Fair is particularly proud of
the exhibition it will offer this year.
The show of live stock is superior in
all departments. The prize winners Of
half a dozen recent state fairs will be
there in all their glory. The field Of
race horses is the largest Woodland
track ever has known. The exhibit of
farm machinery is equal to that of
any Of the state fairs. The free vaud-
eville bill has been matched by only
one state fair and, of itself, is worth
the price of admission charged for the
whole show. Unique feature attrac-
tions also have been engaged. The
Industrial building and all the other
similar departments of the Fair are
filed to overlooking.
All railroads will sell tickets at re-
duced rates for the occasion.

Joe Juel returned Monday from
Minneapolis where he has been the
last week on business.
Rufus L. Crippen is the lame of the
gentleman who purchased S. Tossini's
fruit, ice cream and confectionery
business last week. Mr.. Crippen Is
from Iroquois here and is accompanied
by his wife and three children and
are living in the Tossini residence
which Mr., Crippen purchased. Mr..
Crippen has secured a business that
is considered one of the best paying
investments in the city, and the new
proprietor says he will endeavor to
continue the splendid service Of his
predecessor. He is young and ener-
getic and will devote his time to the
business, and will be assisted for a
time by Mr.. Tossini; who says he
can't quit work so suddenly. Mr..
Tossini began business in Canton on
the 18th day Of February 1900, and no
man in Canton has worked barber
since that time. 1t goes without say
ing that Mr.. Tossini has made big
money and he earned every dollar he
made, and retires from active busi-
ness with money enough to keep him
comfortable for q long time and the
LEADER congratulates both gentle
men, one over his success and the
other in securing a fine business.
