Tennyson's, Father Had to Fly For His
Life From Russia.

Tennyson's Father Had to Fly For His
Life From Russia.
Shortly after the assassination OF
Emperor Paul Of Russia, Tennyson,
the father of the poet, dined with
Lord st. Helens, the British ambassa-
dor, in Moscow. Several Russian Off
GERS of high rank whose names he did
not know were also guests. During
dinner a guarded reference was made
to the emperor's death.
'Why do you speak SO gingerly
about a matter so notorious% cried
Tennyson impulsively, leaning across
his neighbor, Russian whose breast
was covered with orders. 1--WE know
very well in England that the Emper-
or Paul was murdered Count Zoboff
knocked him down and Benningsen
and Count Pahlen strangled him."
There was a strained silence; then
the ambassador abruptly changed the
subject. AS the guests filed out into
an adjoining room Lord St Helens
drew Tennyson aside. Don't go into
the next ROOM" he whispered, '..but fly
for your life. The man next you,
across whose breast you leaned, was
Count Pahlen. and Zobofr was also at
the table,"
He gave a few hurried directions,
and Tennyson rushed off. threw his
clothes into a portmanteau and fled
behind fast horses to Odessa, still In
evening garb, though the cold was in
tense. He lay hidden for weeks and
at last, in the disguise of servant,
was struggled on board an English
friQate

A Funny Chase.

Lord Oxford, an eccentric English
nobleman, once had team of red deer
stays that be frequently drove to a
light coach. All went well until one
day there happened to be pack OF
staghounds on the road from London
to Brighton, along which Lord Orford's
picturesque team was merrily feeting.
There followed the strangest chase
that ever mortal man witnessed. The
hounds hunted the team and its owner
hard to Newmarket, and with such a
smash into the Ram inn yard the
whole lot went that there was no more
coach left and little more Of driver.
Lord Oxford took to horses after that.

An Inscription by Charles Lamb

My friends uncle had in his early
DAYS been a fellow clerk with Charles
Lamb. l remember his showing me
book which had been given him by
Lamb, with a very lamblike inscription.
It was '"Table of Interest" and on
the fiyleaf was written:
civilian Thomas Keith, from
Charles Lamb. In this book, unlike
most others, the further you progress
the more the interest increases. Ed

tors?
Where is Gamble upon the issue OF
trust legislation: Is he fol amending
the Sherman antitrust law?
Gamble has done one thing and one
thing only in the campaign thus far.
He has declared for Taft. For this he
is proclaimed an heroic. courageous,
fearless individual by the same string
OF newspapers which are doing their
best to make Dean S~terling'S declara-
tion for La Toilette appear as a mark
of political weakness. Fortunately
the unfairneSS and ~insincerity Of this
comment is not lost upon the people
of South Dakota.
Dean Sterling has lot only announc-
ed his belief that La Toilette is
more desirable candidate than Taft
but he has given to the people
STRAIGHTFORWARD statement of what he
believes on other live issues anc
throughout he has left a trail thai
turns not from the we'll recognized
progr essive highway.

DR.. H. F. Rate Withdraws.

DR.. Hermann f. Rate has with
drawn as a candidate for the primary
nomination against Congressman Mar
tin. His action is justified because
Judge Carpenter and Mr.. Wheaton of
Rapid City. so called progressives,
have entered the race against Martin,
but those on the inside believe that
these gentlemen are only in the race
to help Martin-not to defeat him.
The Black Hills congressman has
means of securing help from men who
do not seem to care for progressive
success although claiming TO be pro-
greSsives.
The same elements that want to
divide the progressive vote against
Martin, wanted Judge McNulty to
enter the race against Gamble and.
this divide the progressive vote and
give Gamble some show for success.
These men must not suppose the PEG
! pie are fools and can't see through
the deception, and the same political
trimmers did their best to keep Tom
Sterling on the fence. Such political
trickery indicates that there are 4
! few men left in the state who regard
treachery worth the price.

Letter From DR.. Rate.

70 the Editor: When l made the
announcement that | had Withdrawn
from the congressional race, | fully ex-
pected adverse comments from the
press and that my motives would be
garbled and twisted, however if my
being a candidate for a few weeks,
has set the people of my state to
/ thinking, | am we'll pleased and salts
fed. / have talked to hundreds of
people, since | became a candidate,
talked to democrats and republicans,
who feel just as l do, who do not care
today, If they are called democrats or
republicans, so they are cldssed as
progressives.
The republican party is split, men
are fighting with all their might, and
will fight until the June primary,
then the machine politician will get
in his work, and will urge pcogres-
sives and stalwarts to kiss and make
up, urge you to go to the poles and
vote for men, who 90 not in any way
represent your principles. | have not
the slightest objection to men fight
ing, trying to make their party con-
form to their principles. or for tradi-
tional reasons, l say l will not give
the Judas kiss and vote for a stalwart
What has been the results thus far.
Every congressional candidate elected
by the progressiveS has failed you,
Gamble has, Martin as a near progress
sive has, Crawford in the early part of
his term has, but / will say for Coe. l.
Crawford, however, that today he is
acting true to the progressive cause,
and If his convention is of the heart,
l am for him. Congressman Burke
Is the only CONSTANT representative,
he has time and again told you he
was a stalwart and has acted the part.
l certainly respect him for it. The
great majority Of the people Of this
state are progressive. Progressive in
politics means just n thing the
will Of the people as the controlling
force in government. Martin, Burke,
and Gamble are stalwarts, uuequi-
vocally for Taft and corporation men.
Therefore, progressives republicans,
it after the primaries, the opportunity
is not given to you on your WI tick
ct, to vote for a progressive, don't for
the sake OF the common people, be
republicans just because you are the
son of your father, but be true to
principle, and vote for men who re-
present these principles.
/ believe that if the progressive vote
Of the state is counted against the
stalwarts on next election day, that
every one of them will be retired to
private life, and La Toilette or Wood
row Wilson will have the aid, and
not the opposition of the South OAK
ota representation. Be patriots rather
than party men, and there will be
born, out of this struggle between
the stalwarts and the progressives. a
body OF men who will be truly and
honestly Progressive.
Respectfully

Candles "Fearlessness.

Waite rtown Public Opinion: 1t is
conceded by all in South Dakota that
a declaration OF convictions on the
part Of Senator Gamble at this time
would be a document of little conse-
4uence. because of the record of bad
faith behind it, yet in the light of
current newspaper argument over the
Gamble succession, it is interesting
to note that the LOrimer lieutenant
is before the people OF South Dakota
committed to but one thing-renew-
ed subservience to the political fort
unes Of President Taft. The people of
South Dakota do not know ever Gam
ble'S OStenSible position upon a single
vital political issue. 1t is we'll that
there is a record.
Senator Gamble is telling the peo-
Pile of South Dakota that he is a pro-
gressive. Beyond that he does not 60.
He does not even dare to cite or have
cited in his behalf the entire record.
Nor does he raise an issue by any
statement of his convictions upon
pending political issues. Literally he
is standing pat, and literally he thus
becomes a sUandpatter upon a record
progressive in words and reactionary
indeed from going to going.
Where is Gamble upon the issue of
federal primaries?
Where is Gamble upon the issue of
tariff revision downward?
Where is Gamble upon the issue of
direct election of United States Sena-

Destroyed Quack Grass on Farm.
Hans Anderson, who is farming the
old Uncle York place north of town

Sioux Falls. He called at this office

"Quack grass had made a good start
in many places and l determined to

Probably Incendiary Con- flagratiOn Destroys
 Several Buildings

Feyette August 30.-(Special.) )-Fayette was again visited by fire this morning at o'clock, which broke out in the second story of the three story brick building just completed by Walker Bros. & Co. This building, with one concrete and five temporary structures were totally de- stroyed.

 with most of its contents. The City restaurant, which has only been, in bus- ness for one week, was completely de- stroyed. The office of Dr. w. w. Stall- worth. dentist. was burned, but a quan- tity of his material was saved
 The telephone exchange was also de- stroyed. The new building belonging to w. T. Naugher was damaged consider ably and one owned by R. T. Hammer, who was 10 move into it in a few days, had the whole front end burned out. He also lost a temporary structure. The loss amounts to s15.00O or s20,OOo but nothing definite has been learned yet as to the ex- act amount. It is not known how the fire originated, but it Is believed by many to have been of incendiary origin, and many theories have been advanced.
