STRUCK IT RICH

There was announced in the
Want Columns one day an auc-
ton sale that included the ef-
fects and furnishings of an old
established club.
Among the property offered
for sale was an assortment of
pictures and paintings. includ-

The majority of those who
attended the sale glanced only
casually at these veritable
treasures, and they were sold
to an art critic at a mere frac-
ton of their actual value.
The purchaser was able to
realize a very handsome profit
from his investment, the oppor-
tunity for which was presented
to him through the Want Ads.

Sioux Falls, Nov. 21.-Particu-
lars have reached here of the
drowning of Alexander Fairburne,
a young man who lived with his
parents near the Missouri river in
the northern part of Charles Mix
county. The young man had gone
to the Missouri river for a pail OF
water, and ventured too far out on
the ice, which broke, precipitating
him into the river. He managed
to grasp the edge of the ice, and
was holding on for dear life when
his mother, alarmed because he
was gone longer than usual, hurri-

Saves Sons Life

Aberdeen, Nov. 21.-The nerve
and skill of Alexander Bordeau,
living on the north boundary of
the Rosebud reservation, saved
his son, Phil Bordeau, from a
horrible death. Young Bordeau
entered the horse corral and roped
wild horse. The horse began to
run, and the young man became
entangled in the rope. He was
dragged violently over the ground,
and would have been killed in a
few minutes, had not his father
appeared on the scene with a shot
gun and realizing desperate mea,
sures were necessary, shot the
horse dead. The feat was a difficult
one, as the horse was plunging
wildly and there was grave danger
that the doy, instead of the animal
would receive the charge.

One small item of expense to the
county is the ramblings of the
sheriff over all parts of the county

jail breakers. outlaws, fugitlves
from Justice, bootleggerS, safe

labors in landing law-breakers

paid in fees and milage. In the

sheriff's office, we find an expend-
ture of So. 547. 80 for the maintain

WASHINGTON MAY Butt IN
And Put an End to Next Revolt
in Mexico Caused by Per-
sonal Ambition

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Another
revolution in Mexico will meet
with more serious attention from
the United States government than
the recent one overthrowing Diaz
and resulting in the election of
Madero to the presidency.
Now that it is over, there is no
improperly in stating that this
government had certain SYM
pathy with the cause that prevail
ed in the uprising against Diaz.
That, it was held, was a revolution
of principles designed to work
great reforms, while the present
threatened turbulance across the
border is attributed solely to the
ambitions of generals who want
personal power-in other words,
it is a typical Latin American re-
bellion against the existing gov
ernment.
1t will be recalled that when
the orders were issued for the
mobilization of an army on the
Mexican border several months age
speculation was rife as to the real
significance of the move. Some
Jealous statesmen, suspicious OF
every action taken by the govern.
ment under its existing directorate
and imbued with the idea that re.
dictionary designs are its inevitable
inspiration, jumped to the conclu'
sion that there was an internatioDa
conspiracy to perpetuate the rule
rule of Diaz and continue the ex'
ploitation of the country by the
capitalistic class.

HAAGENSON. WEBSTER NUPT|ALS
Miss Olga Henrietta Haagenson
and ClarenceL. Webster are
United in Marriage We'd
nesday. November
22nd

At the home of the brides par
cnts, Mr.. and Mrs. O. Haagenson,
some twenty miles north of Philip
near Topbar, on ednesday after
noon, November 22nd, occurred
the marriage ceremony which unit
ed the lives of Miss Olga Henrietta
Haagen>on and Mr.. Clarence L.
Webster in the holy bonds of
matrimony, Rev. II. j. Stormo of
the Philip Norwegian Lutheran
church, conducting the ceremony
which made them man and wife.
The bride, who has been residing
on homestead near Topbar for
the past year or more, came to
to Stanley county from Bradley
where for number of years she
held position of trust with
mercantile firm, and during the
time that she has been resident
of this part of the county has made
friends with every one with whom
she came in contact. She is
charming young lady, and with
her pleasant disposition and genial
ways combined with her education
in the business world, she will make
true and loving wife and an ideal
helpmate to the man she has VOW
ed eternal allegiance and love.
The groom is the son of Henry
Webster, of Charles City, Iowa,
and a brother of Charles Webster,
of l1illand, and has made his home
in Philip and on a homestead near
Elbon for the past four years,
having offered proof on his claim
some time ago. He is young
man of many good qualities, in
dustrious, energetic, capable, and
wins the confidence and respect of
all those with whom he becomes
acquainted and we believe, will
make a good husband to the
woman he has chosen as life
partner to love, honor and protect.
The News joins with the host of
friends which these young people
have made since residing in this
vicinity, in wishing them health,
wealth, happiness and contentment.

R. D.. RICHARDS PRIMARY BILL
Speaks to Attentive Audi
ence on the Merits of His
Proposed Primary
Bill

In one of the most interesting
political speeches ever given in
Philip, r. O. Richards. of Huron,
auther of the Proposed Party
Primary Law which will appear on
the referendum ballot at the next
general election in November,
showed in a clear. distinct and
practical way the many advantages
gained from the new primary
proposition, greatest of which is
the doing away with the spoils
system, election of postmasters
and the pre- domination of princi-
pie over party. Mr.. Richards took
our present primary law and liter
ary tore it into shreds. bisected
it, dissected it, and we might
say disipfected it. holding up
the battered and tattered rem
nants to the gaze of his at
tentive audience, while he punctur-
ed it through and through with
sound argument and logical reason
ings. More than twenty-five we'll di-
ected blows were aimed at the pre-
sent method used in this state to
nominate candidates to Office, most
any one of which would be suffi-
clent argument against the present
system of nominating candidates.
Mr.. Richards is not silver
tongued orator, who, by his
personal attraction and gift of
oratory, carries his audience
irrestibly along the channels of
his own thought, but on the con-
trary, his statements are support
ed by undisputed facts, and sound
common horse sense, backed by
arguments which cannot be refut-
ed. A large man physically as
we'll as mentally, the speaker
thundered his words from the
platform with conviction which
showed how deeply he was interest
ed in creating a better plan to in
sure impartial justice to all.
The speaker defended himself
against the attacks of Senator Coe
|. Crawford, mentioning his chal,
lenge to the Senator to meet him
in public debate, but Mr.. Craw-
ford suddenly found that be had
imperative business in Wisconsin,
and packed his grip and left on
the morning train.
We believe that the Richards
Primary Bill, as explained by
him last night, met with the
hearty approval and almost un.
animous appreciation of those who
heard him speak, and that it
should have the support and CO.
operation of the people in the
coming election fipht.

BOOSTER MEETING IN PHILIP
One of Harmony and Attended
by a Large Number of Dele
gates from all Parts of
the County

Grand opera house Friday evening
to talk over the prospects of
dry farming, good roads and dam
building. Over one hundred
farmers and business men of Stan
ley county responded to the call
and the hospital citizens of Philip
greeted them with a splendid re-
past that was appreciated by all,
After replenishing the inner
man, the toastmaster, E. l.. Keith,
called the meeting to order, and,
after making few appropriate
remarks, introduced the following
speakers: States Attorney Alvin
Waggoner, William WalpoIe, Sr.,
Anderson Michael, John Dunlevy,
H. j. Mcmahon, Attorney r. A.
Bielski, Attorney p. j. Gallagher.
of Philip: Tom Harty, of Miles
vile; Attorney A. q. Granger,
George Decker, Benjamin Hughes,
Frank Coy, Editor +. T. Nellor,
George Inman, of kakoka; AL
bert Norby, editor of the Stock
Growers, j. S. Whit, of Fort
Pierre; and Charles Royer, of
Wellsburg.
The remarks of these gentlemen
we're listened to with great inter-
est and many good suggestions
we're presented by the different
speakers. However, many i'm
provements were omitted that left
gap III the proceeding which we
hope will be filled at the next
meeting.
Our respected townsman, Mr..
Anderson Michael, made by far
the best speech of the evening. He
covered the ground in such way
with sound talk and good sugges-
tions that he was applauded by
the audience to the echo.
Some speakers that have irriga-
tion on the brain limited that to
farm successfully in Stanley coun-
ty we had to have irrigation.
William Walpole knocked this
hint into a cooked hat during his
speech when he produced two po-
tatoes that weighed five pounds
and two parsnips that measured
five inches at the crown. He ask
ed if the farmer that raised those
"murpbies" was in the audience.
Mr.. Joe Reyneck stood up and
said he raised them on Deadman
Creek, ten miles northwest of
Philip and that they were never
irrigated. This reply was salts
factory to Mr.. Walpole, and rails
ing the ''spuds'' over his head, he
said, these vegetables give those
doubling Thomases the lie and
prove to the world that Stanley
county can compete with any state
in the Union for agriculture, and
do it with less rainfall" The re-
mark brought forth a generous
applause from the farmers who
knew they were not listening to
hot air.
| Jud Pepper, our jovial auction
eer, came to the front at intervals
and rendered some excellent Irish
comic songs, and it is needless to
say they we're appreciated by the
audience, as Jud is a professional
at impersonating the rollicking
Irishman.
| A little stunt which was not
billed on the program was pulled
off by r. A. Bielski and p. j.

young lawyers, displaying their
legal talent in debate on the seed
question which was omitted by
their predecessors. These lega

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD
How to Wash waite Pique Walstcoats
and Make Pretty Neekties
at Home.

Washing a White Pique Waistcoat
Remove the buttons with a sharp
Ratchet, and wash the waistcoat with
any soap that is advertised. If there
are spots on the garment which do
not belong there, use a small scrub
brush and white sand. If this does
not take them out, dip the waistcoat
into hot naphtha. The principal
time to be careful is in the drying
Of the thing. Waistcoats should new
er be hung on a line or clothes horse,
but, to preserve their shape, must be
dried on the person. Put on the
waistcoat while it is wet and stand
in front of the fire. Revolve very
slowly until it is partly dry, and
then 90 into a dark closet and shut
the door. White goods must be dried
in the dark. Keep on revolving. AS
the material shrinks, initiate your
lungs to the fullest extent, or, if you
are sufficiently pulled up with pride,
this will not be necessary.
Homemade Neckties-Very pref
ty white neckties may be made from
ordinary lamp wicks. Choose the
fiat kind, buying a sufficient num-
Der to make the necktie long enough.
Join the ends neatly with a drawn
work stitch, and tie in a four-in-hand
or butterfly bow, according to taste.
A delightful fob chain may also be
made from a single lamp wick. The
natural color of the wick may be
used with duck or white serge suits,
but for evening wear the wick should
be dyed black.-Judge's Library.

HOW WAR HELPS A NATION
Sir Reginald Hart Says IL consolIdates
People While Long Peace
10 pIsIntegratIne.

Peace for a nation is like a sleep
for an individual, it gives time for
rest and recuperation. But we must
not sleep too long or we infallibly
deteriorate. Peace is a disintegrat-
ing force, whereas war consolidates
a people. War is no doubt a dread
full ordeal, but it clears the air, and
refnes the race as fire purifes the
gold and silver in the furnace. Ma
tions, like individuals, ultimately
benefit by their chastenings-this is
one of the mysteries of nature.
So long as any people, white,
black, brown or yellow, hold weapons
in their hands we must not commit
the folly of beating our swords into
plowshares.
The sufferings of man and beast
in war are horrible beyond descrip-
ton, and yet, is it not true that it is
not in war, but in peace, and in
great commercial prosperity that our
worst vices are developed, fostered,
and grow rank? With our material
prosperity we become self-indulgent,
luxurious, inconsideraate, selfish and
even unmanly. In war many of the
.noblest traits in human nature assert
themselves and a high sense or honor
comes before everything.-Sir Regi-
nald Hart. B. c., in Nineteenth Gen.
