Vessey Believes in Suffrage.

Pierre. Responding to the request
of New York paper for an expression
on woman's suffrage, Governor r. S.
Vessey wrote as follows:
l have to say that, in my opinion,
the movement is one that will ulti-
mately win. In the first place, l have
been unable to find any good reason
why men should have the right of suff-
rage that does not equally apply to
women. l have no fear that women
will be made less womanly because Of
the extension to her of this right, and
do believe that it will materially i'm.
prove the quality of conscience ex-
pressed at the ballot box of the count
ry, and also give to woman a just and
proper consideration in matters per-
tanning to legislation. In other words,
the success of the movement will &C.
complish much for our government
by more adequately equalizing justice
in the interests of the entire citizen.

WHAT is HOME?
Common Belief is That a Mans Home
is Where His Family is.

Pierre In all the uncertainties OF
what the government land department
might rule as to the requisites for
proof on a homestead, those who have
been dealing with that department for
years, have finally accepted one thing
not subject to daily change, and that
is the policy that a home is where the
family resides. On this more than one
homesteader has been told that no
matter what he may have done in the
way Of improvements, unless his fam
lily was with him he had made no
home on the claim, that his home was
in town where mis- family resided
while the head of the house was on the
claim, and on this many a claim has
been cancelled. But a Stanley county
claimant has just run up against an
other idea Of some one in the govern
ment land department. He went upon
the tract on which he made filing,
established his family on the tract,
put up good buildings, fenced the
ground, and put in a crop.
Then leaving the family on the claim
he went to town and secured work
for funds to keep the family until the
land should be in a shape to bring
financial return. He offered commuta-
ton proof, and has been turned down
by the general land department on the
ground that the location Of his family
on the land did not make it his home,
but that his home was at the place
where he individually put in most Of
his time.
While on his trip through this state
the attention of President Taft was
called to many of the difficulties
thrown in the way of the homesteader
in securing title to his land, and the
papers in this particular case will be
used to find out just how far the land
department can go in double reversals
of its own rulings to harass a settler.

MADERO PREPARES FOR WAR.
twenty-five Thousand Troops Mob.
iIized on Mexican Border.

Mexico City, Mexico. Orders to
mobilize 25,000 men in zone paral-
leling the northern boundary line was
issued by the war department. The
government is yet skeptical concern
ing the inauguration of the Reves-
Vasquesta revolution, but should it be
begun, President Madero and his cab
met believe the army would be suffi-
cieut to check it.
All these troops will be under the
order of General Geronimo Trevino,
with headquarters at Monterey. The
chief of operations will be General
Guvinio Robles, now at Torreon, in
command of 900 men who are being
held in that city as result of the

At Fort Niagara.

and much Of the stone for the walls
from Frontenac.
1t Is the tradition that the castle"
which is a very strong building, was
erected by stratagem. A considerable,
though not powerful, body of French
troops had arrived at the point. Their
force was inferior to the surrounding
Indians. The French obtained con-
sent Of the Indians to build wigwam,
and induced them with some of their
own officers to engage in an extensive
hunt. The materials had been made
ready and while the Indians were alb.

When the hunting party returned at
night the French had advanced so
far with the work as to cover their
faces and to defend themselves
against the savages in case Of any
attack.

CUTICURA REMEDIES

out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells. and
scratching them would not seem to

began, my wrist and shin itched Ike

until they would bleed before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" / used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti.
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, l felt anxious
to try to head it off. ! got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what / needed.
"The disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of it's pest. and / am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and l hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

Under cross examination, Anderson

talk at Clark's mill, the day of the
party" when Sheriff. Clark or Mr..
Simms asked me if | would take
Mary chamberlain out that night, that
they wanted to tar her. | said no."
Anderson told Of how he had ar
ranged with Ed Ricord to take the
girl for a buggy ride and of going
back to Clark's mill to notify the
gang. The night of the tarring An
derson and Delbert Kindelsparger
drove to the scene in buggy while
other members Of the mob came on
motor cycles. When he got to the
scene of the tarring. Anderson said
he was forced to laugh, for there stood
Everett Clark, the wealthy miller
of Beverly, with a gunny sack over
his head, through which eye and
breathing holes had been poked.
When Miss Chamberlain and Ricord
drove up Anderson said he and Kin.
delsparger stepped out into the road

derson said two of the men were
Everett Clark and Fitwater. The
third one he did not know. They
stripped her to the skin.
"On what part Of Miss Chamber
lain's body did they put the tar?"
Anderson was asked.
"On her lower limbs, as near as
could tell" he replied.
Anderson said after the act was &C.
complished, Miss Chamberlain was
helped into her clothes and with tar
dripping from them, she got into the
buggy and drove away with Ricord.
Alta Lendermuth, one Of Anderson's s
companions, corroborated the testi-
mony. He said he recognized eight Of
the men since arrested for the crime.
Lindermuth said he took no part in
the tarring. merely hiding behind a
fence to see the fun.
Just before time for court to ad-
journ the county attorney startled the
spectators who were struggling to
make their way from the courtroom
by calling Ricord, who told the same
story as related by Anderson.
