RICH ATTRACTIONS FOR
LABOR DAY CELEBRATION

Wagner, S. D., Aug. 12.-The head
liner for the Labor day celebration In
this city September 2 is a flight by
Hillery Beachy, in one of the latest
Curtiss bi-planes. Two exhibitions will
be given. The other free attractions
will be a baseball game, horse races,
foot races. Indian war dance, a comedy
and vaudeville entertainment on the
streets almost continuously during the
entire day.
For the last u years Wagner has an
nually celebrated this day. Coming In
the fall of the yea when there are no
other celebrations, it has been very
largely attended by the people from
tn surrounding towns and country, and
the city has become of more than state
wide reputation owing to the splendid
programs furnished. This wear will
surpass any heretofore held. Possibly
because Wagner will be the candidate
for the county seat Of this county at
the coming election, the people of the
city have determined to give the people
OF Charles Mix and adjoining counties
a more splendid entertainment than
heretofore.
The Milwaukee railroad will run ex-
cursion trains from Yankton to Wag-
ner and also from Platte east, and II
is expected that large crowds win be
here from adjoining counties, as we'll
as from Charles Mix county. The peo-
pie are making elaborate preparations
TO entertain the people in every way.

were surrounded and that the water
was knee-deep in their house. The
water kept rising steadily and they
finally We're compelled to take refuge
on the roof. Fortunately, their house
held fast to its foundation.

cued them. Several Of their smaller
buildings and live stock and other

Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 12.-The un-
expected resignation of Mayor Jackson
at the last meeting of the board Of

litical fight between the several fac

more THAI two years ago whenthecom-
mission form OF government was insti-
tuted, defeating Fred H. Rugg by the
close margin OF three votes. At that
time the alignment was odd timer
against new comer.' Jackson repre-
scented h latter. In the coming cleo
ton of a successor to Mayor Jackson
the same division will mark the strug-
gle and several candidates are being
groomed for the race. Among them are
DR.. q. {. Redfield, recently elected COM

a delegate to both of the Chicago con-
ventions and although he is a Roose-

COMMISSIONERS NO ciecRETion
FOR MAKING NET TOWNS DRY

Iiteasg D., aug. Is.-An import
ant isquof license case has been de-
eided on one Of the points at issue in
WiiHiot. 5. D.. by Judge McNpitv. OF
the Aberdeen circuit. The city COM
ell granted a license to T. j. Maiy. but
the county commissioners refused 10
accept his bond The case was carried
70 the circuit court and Judge Nc
Sulty stated that the county commits
toner's erred in assuming the advis-
fpiiity OF whether Intoxicating liquors
should be sold at Wiipot, and that they
further erred in not attempting to act
on the s~uiiicieacy of the bond. but at
tempted to defeat the action of the city
1ouncil on ~untsnable grounds. The
U directed the county commission
ers to assemble and take action on the
sufficseacy Of the bond as to whether
the plaintiff shall engage in the sa-
loon business. The supposition al.
along has been that the county COM
missioners could use their own judy
ment about accepting a liquor license
bond and that they could not be re-
quired to act on it if they desired to
defeat the action of the council or the
voters,

GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP
IS A FAILURE

Winnipeg, Man, June 1.-TWO
years ago the Manitoban government
went into the grain business on q
large scale by purchasing and building
172 elevators in all parts Of this prov
ince. The event was heralded through
out the United States and the plea of
"the government own the grain ele-
vators" was made a card with which
to draw thousands Of American farm
ers to the Canadian northwest
Some days ago the grain commission
of the province made the flat an
nouncement that the government OPP
GRAFTON was complete failure, Or
dered the discharge Of practically all
the employees, and offered the entire
line of 172 elevators for sale The
government elevators will go out OF
business on August 81 and thousands
OF American farmers in western Can
ada will lose their 1912 wheat crops.
Millions Of bushels Of 1911 wheat are
said to yet be lying on the bare ground
in the western provinces, wet, soggy
and ruinned, and many more millions
win this ear go the same route 1t
took the state Just two years TO dem
onstrate its inability to successfully
compete with the privately owned ele-
vators and II is charged by the oppo-
sitlon that the entire investment, OF
more than 81 900 900 will be lost to the
people Of the province who will have
TO pay the bonds when they fall due.
The statement is made by grain men
that the plant is worth not more than
25 per cent Of the sum for which was
loaded on TO the government The
business has been carried on at a
heavy loss from the beginning and
there has not been at any time a clear
prospect that the venture would be
converted into a definite success. The
announcement that the affairs Of the
state concern are to be wound up on
August 81 was made by the chairman
D. W. McCuaif
