TO LANCEL TREATY.
MADE WITH ME-

1902 marked the relations OF the
United States with Columbia while
the isthmus Of Panama was Q part
of that republic. Sailors and ma.
rines were landed BY request OF Co
lumbia to preserve neutrality.
The accession Of Panama from Co.
lumbia and the selection Of the frst
president Of the infant republic
were largely due to q quiet sort OF
diplomatic intervention.
The very FIRST Intervention was in
1901. The pasha Of Trtpoli learning
that the United States navy had been
reduced to six ships began selling
American merchant vessels in the
Mediterranean.
In 1866 q detail Of sailors from the
Wteree, an American warship. Quell-
ed an instruction of Chinese coolies

In the same year United States ma
val forces landed at La Union, San
Salvador. to protect American inter
ests during a revolution.
An American merchant vessel. the
Gen. Sherman ventured up a river in
Korea in 1867. The ship grounded.
the crew was murdered and the car
go stolen. In 1871 a feet went over
to get satisfaction, but all they got
was several days of sharp fighting in
which they destroyed several forts
and killed a lot of Koreans.
In 1888 n of the fleeing presi-
dents Of Hayti was captured by sew
eral vessels with his navy of two
armed tug boats.
Great Britain proposed in 1895 to
seize disputed territory between Ven
zuela and British Guinea. President
Cleveland wrote a letter to Great
Britain that so aroused the war
spirit in this country in support of
the Monroe doctrine that the English
agreed after having refused at first
to submit the matter to arbitration.
United States influence was a fac
tor in the overthrow of Liliuokslanl,
queen of Hawaii and the annexation
of those islands in 1898 to this
country.
Incidentally the United States has
been credited with Intervening
president Castro out of Venzuela;
president Zelaya out of Nicaragua;
in adjusting a squabble between the
Dominican republic and its creditors
and in settling the recent disturbance
in Honduras.

LEGISLATURE MIXES
JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
TWO DIFFERENT COUNTIES
PLACED IN TWO DIFFERENT
CIRCUITS BY DIFFERENT
ACTS OF LAST SESSION.

Pierre, S. D.-Attorneys who have
cases affecting Washabaugh clients
will have some moving to do to look
after the interests of their clients
properly for a while. The late legis-
lature passed House bill 252 with an
emergency attachment which made it
Immediately effective, placing Wash
abough in the newly created eleventh
circuit. this law being sent to the
governor some time in February, and
Washabaugh was located. Later an
other law, Senate 281 without the
emergency attachment, was passed,
which located Washabaugh in the
seventh circuit. but that does not go
into effect until the first of, July. At
ter than date the county will be in
the seventh circuit, and cases which
arise between now and July first will
have to start in the eleventh circuit,
and if not completed before July will
have to be transferred to the seventh
circuit for further consideration. The
new county of Ziezach, by two differ
ent enactments was placed in both
the tenth and twelfth circuits, both
as emergency laws, but as the
twelfth circuit law was the last to be
enacted, that county is safely an
chored in the twelfth.
Another feature which is puzzling
just at present is that unorganized
counties owe the state were attached
to certain other counties for judicial
purposes. In the creation of new cir
cults, no attention appears to have
been paid to this, and some of the IN
organized counties are attached for
judicial purposes 20 counties which
lie in different judicial circuits than
those in which the counties are now
located in the changing of boun-
daries, and this will likely mean
more or less tangling of legal pro-
cedure before it is all Strengthened
out.

HELP TO BOYS
IS ORGANIZED CLUB
BOYS AT ASHTON MEMBERS OF
CLUB THAT is GOVERNED BY
MILITARY LAW AND THEY
OBEY 1T.

Reddeld. S. D.-The Boy Club idea
has been developed to a marked ex-
tent in the town Of Ashton. S. D..
through the fundamentally and
perseverance of Rev. j. H., Kilbon,
late pastor of the Congregational
church. He began in a small way to
interest the boys Of his town in the
better things and now after four
years they are all staunch supporters
of the pastor ana his methods. The
officers of the club are: President,
Paul Moulton; secretary, Edward
Hawkins; treasurer. Robert Small;
librarian, Hiram Jones; football cap
tain. Arthur Weiland; policemen.
Leonard Coleman and Harry Moul-
ton-and the lads have use for the
policemen, too, to take are of the
incorrigibles until they are we'll
grounded in the constitution and by
laws, which governs their body quite
rigidly.
The rules OF the band are simple.
The members are o permitted to
use tobacco, intoxicating liquors,
profane or indecent language, and
they shall seek to be gentlemanly in
their conduct at all times. The ages
range from nine to fifteen years. The
club meets bi-monthly on Friday ev.
enings in the lecture room of the
church. Reports and business are
first attended to and then follows a
program for the evening, which va
ries at times in debate, solving of
puzzles, wrestling. athletic exercises,
military drill or a court martial,
when the occasion requires, and one
was held just recently, where one of
the lads violated one of the rules of
the club. The regular procedure OF
a court martial was followed with
much earnestness and justice was
meted out to the refractory lad, and
it is safe to say he will not violate
any more rules of the club. There is
less and less of the desire to violate
the rules Of the club as the boys
come to learn more fully and appre-
ciate the principles on which the or
g~anization is founded.
The big feature of the club is the
annual picnic at the Jim river in the
summer time, a time of pleasure,
wholesome. vigorous and keen. It Is
military camp, and an atmosphere
of discipline pervadcs the place. The
boys ems it and heed 1t. Breakfast
