former land registrations at different places
in this state the gambling element has
thrNed at the expense Of those who
gathered to register. J. w. Witten, the
government representative In charge of the
work is determined that this shall not
be the case in the registrations for
Mellette and Bennett county lands, and has
called upon the state authorities to assist
In the work. After a conference on the
part Of Governor Vessey and Attorney
General Johnson, they have decided to call
upon tho local authorities to use every
means to prevent gambling at registration
points, and have further notified such local
authorities that any complaints in regard
to gambling at that time will mean the
sending OF special prosecutor from the
attorney generals department to take up
the matter of law enforcement and that
the local authorities will be held RESPONSE
BILE for any failures on their part which
will require action on the part OF the state
legal department. which may be caused
by their failure or neglect TO enforce
gambling laws. In other words all the
power OF the state executive and legal de-
partments will be turned loose on the
situation where the local authorities are
either unable or unwilling to cope with the
situation.

Crop Conditions
in the Black Hills
Drouth Completely Broken and Graz
ing Lands Are Again Available
Sowing for Fall Feed Begins.

BBLLEFOURCHE, S. D., July S0.-(Spe-
cial)-The Bellefourche river, which has
been dry for the last month owing to the
continued drouth, Is running full of water
at this time, the result Of heavy rains
which have occurred in this part of the
country, and west Of here The rains have
filled all of the stock watering holes in
this section Of the state, and have made
grazing lands which could not before be
used again available. While the western
country has suffered to some extent from
the dry weather, there are thousands Of
acres which are irrigated and will yield
the usual quota of feed.
In the last two weeks rains have been
frequent, and where other crops have been
planted earlier the farmers are getting
ready to SOW corn, cane and millet, with
the idea Of getting plenty of fall feed. It
is the general opinion that the drouth Is
now over
The stock situation is not at all bad
While the grazing country up to this time
has been very short of grass, the herds
have been moved, and II there is late pas
ture, which now seems certain, 1t will be
in good condition to go through the win
ter. The usual shipments of grass fattened
cattle will be light. and the shipments Of
stock cattle and feeders will be heavier
but most Of the herds will be kept in the
country. The clip OF wool was very heavy
this spring. shipments from this city alone
being nearly 100000 pounds, and It was
nearly 100000 pounds from other points
In this part Of the state Sheep
are in good condition and now that they
can be moved again. the water holes being
filled. the situation will be much better. =

minis TO Push Amendment.

WASHINGTON, July SO.-General tariff
legislation at this session OF congress, so
as TO leave the responsibility for any delay
In tariff revision suuarely upon the presi-
dent. is the slogan of the democratic-pro-
gressive coalition in the senate and the
democrats I'm the house. The president to-
day is credited with being as determined
as ever to veto any tariff bill passed by
congress prior to the submission OF the re-
port Of the tariff board to congress at the
regular session in December Meantime the
democrats, continuing to press their revi-
sion measures are wondering what the
president will do when the wool bill, emerg-
ing from conference with lower duties than
the La Toilette final compromise, foes to
the White House for approval or Veto
1t is the most remarkable situation with
respect to tariff legislation that has arisen
in a long period. Despite the apparently
authoritative declarations that the presi-
dent will refuse to place his approval on
the tariff bills some of the democrats,
even Speaker Clark still express the opinion
that the president may yet approve revi-
sion legislation The democratic leaders,
encouraged by the effective results Of the
combination of their party with the insur-
gent republicans in the senate, are becom-
ing more confident that the tariff schedules
passed by the house will go through the
senate in some form.
The Present situation.
This is the way the government outlook
stands today:
The wool revision will be in conference
early in the week. A compromise measure
on the basis of 80 per cent ad valorem on
raw wool will be reported out, possibly.
The combined democratic -insurgent repub-
lican forces are confident 1t will run the
gauntlet of both houses and be the first
revision measure TO go to the president as
the test of his veto disposition.
The farmers free list bill' will be
voted on Tuesday in the senate under
agreement. Coalition senators and house
democrats express certainty OF its passage.
There will be a senate democratic caucus
on rne bill tomorrow morning, however, to
insure it's passage. AS the bill comes up
for vote Immediately after morning bust
ness Tuesday, the only opportunity for
debate will be tomorrow
Senator Cummins, progressive republican,
will address the senate tomorrow on his
metal amendment to the bill. Effort will
be to get the measure through without
changing it's general character as free
list measure intended to add to the num-
ber of articles that farmers use which
may come In free Of duty. It is expected
that in this shape 1t will receive practi-
cally the solid democratic and insurgent
vote.

LINCOLN, July 30.-(Special.) )-That the
lineup of Dahlman and his forces for Gov
ernor Harmon Of Ohio will eventually bring
out William ]. Bryan from his present
silence and make him declare himself for
either Woodrow Wilson or some other of
the forty or more candidates he mentioned
for the presidency some time ago. is the
belief OF number OF the party leaders
who have visited this city since the state
convention was held at Fremont.
Little credence is given to the story
that one OF the principal reasons why the
Omaha mayor is for the Ohio executive is
because Bryan is against him. but It is
thought among the leaders that the Doug
las county democrat is in earnest in the
matter and that he will attempt to swing
his entire influence for the Ohio man when
the time comes for the campaign on the
presidential preference vote next spring
under the new primary law.

Wilson Sentiment strong.

Many of the democrats who have talked
of the matter while in this city assert
that there are serious doubts as to the
popularity OF Harmon in this state. Will
son sentiment they declare, is Unexpectedly
strong and sufficiently formidable, they
believe, to override sentiment for any other
candidate. shallenberger, admittedly the
keystone of the democratic organization in
the state at the present time, is said to
have made the declaration that democratic
success in this state next year must be
preceded by a strong presidential prefer
ence vote for the New Jersey executive
and the sending OF a delegation to the
national convention with instruction to
poll the Nebraska strength for that can
didate.
While the Alma man has not been
claimed by his friends TO have done the
thing that was proper for his own sue
cess, admittedly his forecasts as to requi-
sites for party success have been unerring.
and the word that has gone out from the
camp where he has already hoisted the

to be conclusive in that regard with a
large faction of the democratic party in

Wilson has already made itself manifest
and the feeling is abroad that before the
matter is settled there may be the reopen
ing OF party wounds on account Of the
presidential preferences of the two factions,
the anti-Bryan and the Bryan. The two
factions, however, are not synonymous
with the wet and dry factions Of the
party. for there are many Of the former
who are inclined to favor what demo-

BECAUSE THEY ADVERTISE

Mary had little lamb; its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one summer day, where lambs should
never go. And Mary sat her qcickly
down, and tears streamed from her
eyes; she never found the lamb be-
cause she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother who kept
village store; he sat him down and
smoked pipe, and watched the open
door. And as the people passed along
and did not stop to buy, John still sat
and smoked his pipe and blinked his
sleepy eye.- And so the sheriff closed
him out, but still he fingered near,
and Mary came along to drop SYM
pathetic tear.
How is it, sister, can you tell why
other merchants here, sell all their
goods so readily, and thrive from
year to year?" Remembering her
own bad luck, the maiden then re-
plies: These other fellows get there,
John, because they advertise. Elm
