Deadwood, S. D.-That r. o. Rich

Office in 1912 is indicated in a let

this city, and Richards chief politi-

Webb discusses the probable sits.

campaign, scores the different pro-

Richards and cites the fact that Rich.
ards has not sought Office in the past,
but that conditions may result in his
being forced into the leadership of
the party in South Dakota.
Denouncing Senator Crawford as
a nonprogressive, Mr.. Webb writes
in part: There is no use, in my
opinion, of trifing with non-repre-
sentative leaders conference Of Of

claim Mr.. richards the real progress

THIRTY DAY CAMPAIGN OF RE
LJGIOUS SERVICES ENDED
TUESDAY NlGHT-CONNER-
SIONS NUMBERED 400.

The last meeting of the revival
services which have extended over a
period ofthirt ydays, was held Tues
day evening in the Tabernacle, and a
large audience was present. 1t was
in the nature OF a praise service, and
DR.. Bromley spoke briefly on the
claims of the gospel and the wonder
full accomplishments for humanity
and no one ned be alarmed of be-
and no one need be alarmed of be-
Christ.
The report made on the CONVEX
sions during the revival was that
about 400 people gave themselves
up to the religious life, and who en-
pressed their desires to affiliate
with the church organizations of
this city.
In speaking of the anti-license
campaign, DR.. Bromley said that he
regretted the defeat in the election
of the day, and that it was the first
time he had met. with defeat in a
campaign of this character. He
stated, however, that the anti-license
feature was a mere incident in the
religious campaign that was waged,
and that the people should not be
discouraged, but that they should
buckle on their armor and try again.

HIGH IN THEATRICAL
WORLD STANDS JEKCKS
SIOUX CITY-NllTCHELL MANAGER
NAMED AS HEAD OF GREAT
THEATRICAL PROTEC-
TION ORGANIZATION.

Maurice Jencks, the manager OF
the Gale theatre, is getting high up
in the theatrical world, Wien he was
elevated to the presidency of the as
ISOLATION which was formed a few
years ago comprising the theatrical
managers of the United States and
Canada. The annual meeting was
held in Chicago a few days ago, and
Mr.. Jencks's election was effected at
that time.
Less than ten years ago Mr..
Jencks was managing a little opera
house at Yankton and his reputation
did not extend hardly beyond the
county line, but he was not content
with occupying an obscure position
in the theatrical arena, and he COM
menced to broaden out. MitchelEs
opera house was his first accession to-
ward greater things. and he has been
largely instrumental in placing Nit
chell on the theatrical map, and
some fine productions have been
sent here during all these years,
and which, doubtless. would have
gone some other route but for Mr..
Jenck's afhliation with the big peo-
pie down east.

half dozen other places CT equal I'M

While Mr.. Jencks's rise in the
theatrical world has been meteoric
in character he has delivered the
goods right along and has the con-
idence of the theatrical profession,
both behind the footlights and in the
box office. Mr.. Jencks is associated
with theatre managers located in
cities like Chicago, New York, Phila-
delphia. Boston, and all the large
cities of the country, and his selec-
ton as the president of the %associa-
ton is quite a compliment to South
Dakota, and Mr.. Jencks as we'll.

KAUFMAN DIES ON
SIOUX FALLS STREET
SIOUX FALLS MAN WHOSE WIFI
FIGURED IN SENSATIONAL
TRIAL, FALLS DEAD OF
HEART FAILURE.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Mose Kaufman
one of the best known men in Sioux
Falls, dropped dead on the stree,
yesterday, oon after he had left his
home to vote in the city election
Heart failure was the cause of his
death.
A few years ago Mr.. Kaufman's
wife was the defendant in one of the
most sensational murder cases ever
tried in South Dakota, and worry ov-
er her troubles is believed to have
caused Mr.. Kaufman's student and
premature death. He supported his
wife loyalty and constantly during
her two trials.
Accused Of Killing Servant.
Mrs. Kaufman was accused with
causing the death of Agnes Polreis,
her 16-year1old servant, by a syste-
matte course of cruelty and mistreat-
ment. A change of venue was secur-
ed to Flandreau, where at the first
trial Mrs. Kaufman was convicted of
manslaughter.
In this trial Mrs. Kaufman was
prosecuted by George w. Egan,-who
has since become a leading figure in
South Dakota politics. The supreme
court reversed the conviction on the
ground of misconduct on the part OF
Mr.. Egan, which, it was found, was
calculated to prejudice the Jury
against the accused woman.
A second trial was held at Flan-
dreau, at which Mr.. Kaufman was
convicted of simple assault and
fined 500. which was at once paid.
Figured in Egan Case.
Meanwhile Mr.. Egan had been dis
barred for alleged misconduct in an
other case. He had been elected
county attorney of Minnehaha county
but was not permitted to take the Of
fee because of the disbarment pro-
ceedings.
Later Mr.. Egan ran for governor,
and in his campaign charged that his
disbarment had been brought about
because of his activity in the Kauf-
man case. In this way the Kaufman
case was made a political issue in
two hot political campaigns.
Following the second trial of his
wife, Mr.. Kaufman had considerable
litigation with the attorneys who de-
Tended her. The various troubles he
had in this connection are believed
to have preyed on his mind, and to
have weakened his constitution.
Was a Wealthy Man.
Mr.. Kaufman was a wealthy man.
He was heavily interest in the brew
ing business for many years. While
he has had no active connection with
that business recently, he is believed
to have been a heavy stakeholder in
a local brewery. His heaviest hold
ings, however, were in real estate
and farming land in South Dakota.
Mr.. kaufman had lived in Sioux
Falls about 25 years. He was un-
der so years old. Besides his wife,
is survived by one son, who is a
medical student at the University of
Michigan.

caused much comment politically.

sympathizing friends who came ia
pay this last tribute of respect to one
who was highly thought Of by ell.
Mr.. Blackman had been seriously iii
for some time, and suffered a great
deal, but was very patient through
1t all. He was born in Kenosha,

ritory local to those states. In .
word, Hearst and Bryan, seeing the
drift of the democratic party to-
ward conservatism, have formed a
league to make the party radical and
keep it so. The fact that the repub-
lican party is rapidly becoming radi-
cal does not disturb them. They as
sert that the democratic party was
radical years before the republican
party had though Of such a thing.
and that today the only genuine rad
icalism is that which bears their en-
.dorsement.
Shortly after leaving one of his
conferences with Bryan, Hearst was
interviewed about Speaker Clark,
and the complimentary things he
said must have greatly :comforted
that gentleman. The explanation
of this interview, as currently given
in this city. is that Mr.. Clark will be
favored for the presidential nomina-
ton next year by the Bryan-Hearst
forces-provided he continues to
make good in the s~peaker-ship, pro-
vided the record Of the democratic
house is good. and provided there
should be no popular demand for the
nomination. of Bryan himself. In
a word, Mr.. Clark is to have the
place, provided Mr.. Bryan; does not
get it.
Both Powers In Politics.
Hearst and Bryan met first in this
city at a dinner given by Nathan
Straus Of New York, and It was Mr..
Straus who first announced that the
former political opponents would in
the future work togethss Later
they met at a luncheon given by Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles. After the
Miles luncheon came the interview in
which MI. Hearst said as many nice
as he could think Of about
Speaker Clark.
In connection with the fact, now
generally admitted, that Mr.. Bryan's
political status has been improving
of late it is noticed that Mr.. Hearst
is also on the up grade politically.
This seems to indicate that both.
men will be in fine form for the
campaign next year. and
must be reckoned with by the
democratic president makers.

TWO FREAK TOWNS
and one IS round
The other Forms Perfect Maltese
Cross, According to the
Description.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 23.-Mississippi
has two of the queerest shaped towns
in the world. They are Randolph in
Pontotoc county, and Rutherford,
Montgomery county.
Randolph, if as described, forms a
perfect Maltese cross, because, in
framing the charter of the town,
which is in section %, township /,
range East, the wise men who drew
it said that forty rods should be ta-
ken off the adjoining sections, form
ing perfect square. But since there
is section on four sides and four
other sections touching the corners Of
the limits as elsewhere defined, none
of the latter sections is included in
the town, which forms the Maltese
cross.
Another freak of legislation, where
Rutherford was Incorporated, is that
the bill incorporating this town said
the corporate limits should extend
one-half mile from the court house
in all directions, instead of designing
| North, East, South and West. Thus
Rutherford is as round as a top, as nc
one seems to care enough about the
matter to have the charter amended
This piece of legislation was the
was the cause of great deal of per
sonal conflict in Rutherford a few
years ago. Men could not discuss thu
limits of the town, that is if they dis
agreed, without fight, and it is no
safe, even now. to- tell some men o
Rutherford the town is round.
The question of whether the tow
was round or square caused famil
rows, re-arranging of political aligr
ment, neighbors fought and relative
refused to speak to each other for
long time, but the matter has finall
blown over, though some friendship
twere broken at the time-about
years ago-that have never bee
