Death of Yankton Pioneer.

A special from YanktOn announces
the death of a famous character in
the early life of Yankton, and with :
all a remarkable man. Tall, ungain,y,
with back deformity that made him
walk in wabbling fashion, yet he
was one of the most noted walkers of
the age. His peculiar walk brought
him nick name and every body call
ed him "Lim ber Jim" He was warm
hearted and genial in disposition. He
filed on what is now the west portion
of the city and in order to get his pa
tent, his land being contested, he act
ually walked to Washington, d. c.,
and cinched his title. He was Obliged
to walk as he had no money to pay
fare with. Four trips to California,
to Klondike, with the Sully expedi-
tion against the Indians, and many
another trip, in the early days, all OF
them on foot, supported Wither.
spoons claim that he had walked
"a 900 miles in his time. He died In
California, after losing most OF his
property here, which failed to bring
him wealth, owing to the old pioneer
being too odd in his way to max g
money.

Mrs. Lars Killing.

Beresford Republic: Mrs. Lars Kyl-
ling passed away very suddenly Tues
day night, October 10th, at her home
in North Beresford. For some time
Mrs. Kylling had been ailing, but she
had apparently improved Of late, and
her condition was such as to encour-
age the thought that she would re-
cover her full strength. She retired
as usual Tuesday evening and som
time during the small hours, slept
away,
Mrs. Kylling was the wife of Lars
Kylling, and the mother of Mrs. Ed
Linde, Miss Ida and Messrs. Ador
and Ludwig, all of Beresford. She
was native of Norway, where she
and Mr.. Kylling were married. Lud'
wig bears the distinction of having
been born on the ship while his par
ents were enrOute to America. The
family is one of the pioneer families
of Lincoln county, and respected by
all.
Funeral services were held this
morning and the body laid to rest ir
the cemetery northeast of town. The
bereaved family have the sympathy
of all in their great loss.

Death of Mrs. H. J. Olson of Lyon
County, Iowa.

The many friends of this estimable
lady in Lyon and Lincoln counties re-
ceived the announcement OF her death
with sorrow, for they knew her as one
of the most lovable pioneer mothers
in Lyon county, where she had lived
with a devoted husband since 1863,
and during the pioneer days the home
of the deceased was the center around
which the people gathered to discuss
the affairs of the neighborhood and
promote christianity, for Mrs. Olson
was an earnest christian worker all
her life, and died with the faith of a
true christian. She was devoted
wife and mother and her home life
was pure and simple and lovable, and
a devoted husband and family Will
ever cherish the sweet memory OF
"mother.'
Mrs. Olson was born in Norway,
August %, 1888, and came to the
United States in 1859. and was mar
ried to II. J. Olson in 1860, in Winnie
shick county, Iowa, where they lived
until 1869 when the removed to Lyon
county, where she lived until October
II, 1911, passing away at the age or 10
years, one month and twenty days,
and her husband and her eight child
rem were at the bedside when the end
came.
The funeral service was held in the
Lutheran church in Centennial town
ship, on Sunday October 10, at 2:3O by
Pastor Berge, who paid a beautiful
tribute to the memory of the deceased
in the presence Of a very large audi
ence composed of friends who were
able to appreciate the pastors tribute
to her life and work as pioneer and
christian mother, and those beautiful
words of the pastor will ever remain
sacred TO those whose lives were
made so happy by her presence ana
the entire community felt that In her
death they had suffered a personal
loss.
AS the end approached she was
thoroughly resigned to the parting
here and the call of the Master found
her ready, and thus noble christian
mother passed away to join the loved
ones gone before and await the glor-
ious reunion that is to come.

Rev. Buriff Goes to Madison.

The annual conference Of the NJ. f..
church made many changes for the
pastors and among them Canton is
called upon TO part with DR.. Buril,
who goes to Madison with an increase
in salary. Rev. r. E. Hunt comes to
Canton from the Black Hills, where
he was Superintendent of that district.
Rev. Buriff was well liked in Canton,
everybody was his friend, and he had
done much to build up the church,
and was in shape TO accomplish much
more had he remained here another
year. We do not blame him for TAX
ing a promotion, and we are satisfied
he desired to remain in Canton for
another year, but Methodist confer
ence some times knocks the ambition
out of a whole church by power that
is sometimes used without what we
consider due consideration.
1t does not seem right to remove a
preacher from charge when he is
getting everything In shape to over
come past troubles and place the
church on a solid foundation. lie
could have finished up his work in
another year, but he was not permit
ed to do that.
The LEADER congratulates him
over his promotion, from a financial
point Of view, but he will never lind
congregation in the state any more
loyal than his Canton charge, but a
minister, like soldier, must obey the
orders of his superior.
From the standpoint Of church sue
cess we believe mistake has been
made, for no matter how brilliant his
successor may be, he cannot pick up
the threads in much less than a year
and weave them into a harmonious
whole through which membership
grows and finances balance. DR.. Buriff
had entered upon the broad road to
success in uniting all the elements
that make a church strong when he
is called away but we trust his sue
cessor will be able to pick up and
carry forward the good work. We say
goodby to the departing brother and
family and extend welcome to his
successor.

A Chinese Republic is among the
possibilities of the present rebellion
in the Flowery Kingdom. The en-
pire has been ruled for many years
by..Manchus, not recognized as Chinese,
and many uprisings to overthrow the
Manchu dynasty have taken place.
The present rebellion seems to be
we'll organized with able leaders and
plenty ofmoney, and Chinese Repub-

RECALL WINS IN CALIFORNIA
The People in that Big Republican
State Refuse Taft's Advise and
Also Give Women the Ballot.

Caifornians don't seem to think
the recall is a dangerous weapon IN
the hands of the people, for In voting
for constitutional amendments last
week, one of which embraced the
recall for all elective officials in the
state, including judges, was carried
by over three to one vote, ana thls
in the face of strong opposition by
those who indorse the Presidents
stand in the matter.
A very large majority OF the Call
fornians believe that as they have
the power to put man in ONCE they
also believe that they should have
the power to remove any man they
put in Office who proves unworthy or
the trust imposed in him.
The voice Of the people rules the
nation and the state. and why are
they not entitled to the recall II they
want that additional power?
The power that makes should never
be without power to unmake.
Honest, upright officials will never
be called upon to face a recall, the
other kind need 1t.
very important government of11-
cial said recently that the people
can't be trusted to judge between
right and wrong-they must be con-
sidered as a mob, but this so called
mob makes presidents, ard elects
representatives to govern the nation.
A French King once told starving
people to 60 eat grass, they refused to
eat grass and they recalled the King
and put him out OF business
The time will never come In this
country, we hope, when it Will not
be safe to trust the people. If such
time should ever come the people will
not be responsible for it. 1t is a
goveroment for and by the people, ana
none but those who violate law fear
it.
Law violations have been covered
up by men high up in the official life
of the nation, and the recall principle
was born of desire to remove Such
men from power.
Impeachment is farce.
Take the Lorimer fraud for example.
1t has or will cost the people about
500, 600 to finish the grandstand act
and Lorimer will hold the purchased
seat. II the people of Illinois had
the recall in working order they
would have disposed of Lorimer In
short order.
And there's Senator Ike Stephen
son Of Wisconsin who says he spent
slO7. 600 to win seat in the senate,
and if the people of that state had
recall handy they would take the In
yestigation farce out OF the hands OF
the senate where other men have
found seats through bribery, fraud
and whitewash, and to come little
nearer home.
Suppose south Da kota had the re-
call power how long would it have
taken the people to remove 4. J..
Gamble from the senate?
The recall is mighty weapon Tor
good, and the people can be safely
trusted with that power The pre-
sident trusts the army and navy but
ne wouldn't trust the people with the
privilege uf the ballot to determine
the guilt or innocence OF man &C
cused of official crime or misdemean-
or, vet we trust twelve men to deter
mine the guilt or innocence OF one
charged with crime.
The recall is jury of all the people.
The recall will go into every state
constitution and in time will cover
eyery official in the nation except the
president and his cabinet.

Scotch Mixtures

Most of these materials
are in Scotch mixtures, some
of them in two and three
color effects. These bright
colors are put in by means OF
tiny threads, indistinct
stripes and almost invisible
plaids. There is just enough
color put in to give life to
a suit made from this mate
rial, to make it becoming and
individual looking.
Aside from these attrac-
tive weaves and the becom-
ing touches of contrasting
color, the new materials have
enough body to "work up"
we'll. They hang perfectly
straight, hold their shape
and are especially adapted to
the narrow, straight hanging
skirts and short jackets that
are to be worn this season.
