TAFT TO HEAD
PARTY AGAIN
Sherman named as Vice Presi-
dent BY Republicans AT
Chicago Convention
ROOSEVELT CHOSEN BY BOLTERS
Democrats Now in Session at
Baltimore may name Bryan
Or Wilson
ROOSEVELT CHOSEN BY BOLTER,

William Howard Taft was nomin-
ated for the presidency to succeed
himself by the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago.
Sunny Jim Sherman was renonlin-
ated as vice president.
This action was taken Saturday
evening after a week Of the stornli-
est sessions in the history Of the Re-
publican party.
Steam Roller Triumphed
The Roosevelt men fought the
steam roller all down the line until
it became evident further fighting
was useless.
When the nominations were made
347 refused to vote at all and 107
voted for Roosevelt in spite Of his
protest against such action.
Boilers Choose Roosevelt
After Taft and Sherman had been
nominated about 400 of the Roose-
/ yelt followers held a meeting and
organized a new party with Roose-
welt as the choice for president. 1t
lis likely another gathering will be
held in August at which time the or
ganization will be perfected.
Democrats at Baltimore
Meanwhile down in Baltimore the
! Democrats are at work and doubt
less will name their man about FRI
day. "A. B. Parker has been selected
as temporary chairman but Bryan
opposes this and he may be with
drawn.
Bryan Still Dominant
Clarke, Wilson, Harmon and ind
er wood are the bona fide candidates
| but in the background stands the
figure Of the biggest man Of them
all, Bryan and he is sure to be an i'm
portant factor before that conven-
ton. His reception In Baltimore
proves him still the idol Of Demo

Efforts will be made to put Red
wood Falls in the Spotless Town
class before the park and chautau-
qua openings on Friday and Satur-

This can be done only through the
assistance Of every citizen Of the
place.
A little attention to this matter
and a little work will make Redwood
shine like the morning sun when the
hosts descend upon it next Friday,
Also decorate.
Every business place and every

TYSON PRAISED
FOR PARK WORK
). G. Cheyney Of State Agri-
cultural School Says Ram
sey Is Beautiful
CAME TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS
Finds Superintendent has done
/ Exactly Right AT Every
Point

Joseph Tyson, Superintendent of
the Ramsey State Park may be carry
ing his head tribe high but he has
a good excuse for doing so.
MIR. Tyson has labored early and
late on the park in his effort to get
it in good shape for the opening Fri
day.
Last week there appeared on the
scene a slight young fellow of mod
est pretentions who strolled out to
the park and looked things over.
Later Frank Clague loaded him into
his auto and took him around while
Mr.. Tyson kept on at work.
Sent Out BY DIR. Vincent
When the identity of the stranger
was made known it was discovered
the was E. G. Cheyney, director Of
the College Of Forestry at the state
university. Moreover he had been
sent out by President Vincent to
look things over and make sugges-
tions for improving the playground.
Put O. TX. On Tyson
Mr.. Cheyney looked them over.
He found that Mr.. Tyson had done
Exactly the right thing at every
point and every suggestion he made
fitted in perfectly with the plans Of
the superintendent. He said:
Il had no idea you had so beauti-
full spot in this prairie section. 1t
certainly should be preserved as a
park. No one could make any sug-
gestion for an Improvement Of the
road system mapped out and par
TALLY built by Mr.. Tyson. tits ideal.
Cut Out Overtopped Trees
The brush and overtopped trees
should be removed from the picnic
ground. The cottonwoods and brush
should be cleared away from the
/. foot Of the granite cliff though the
cedar should be left, and no work
should be done on the cliffs.
The underbrush should be cleaned
out for about two rods on each side
of the roads, but where the road
doubles back down in the valley the
brush should be left.
Open Up The Views
The trees should be thinned out
so that every picturesque view would
be opened up. No use having the
views if you can't see them.
The weeds should be cleaned out
of the entire park. =
In this connection Mr.. Tyson sug-
gests that sheep would do the work
better than anything else, an opinion
with which Mr.. Cheyney agreed.
White birch, Norway pines anC
every other rare and beautiful tree
that can be grown here should b
planted in the small clearings. II
time they will add greatly to The
beauty of the park.

Hospitality OF Prominent
Renyille County People

Speaking of old time hospitality:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Schlueter embody
that delightful virtue.
They were host ana hostess to two
auto loads Of Redwood Falls people
on Sunday and justified their repu-
tations.
The Schlueter farm is one Of the
best and most attractive ia Renville
county. The residence which stands
near an extensive piece Of wild
woods. is thoroughly modern, having
been remodeled last fall at which
time gas and a hot air furnace were
installed.
Mr.. Schlueter has 400 acres in the
farm upon which his father settled
fifty years ago. The old log house
in which the pioneers lived is stand
ling, emphatic warrant of the pros
perity that has been won by Mr..
Schlueter and marking the chasm
that separates the new from the old.
No farm in Renville county has bet
ter improvements than the Schlueter
farm.
Mrs. Schlueter has fine bed Of
Strawberries which is bearing I'M

her cherry trees. The visitors sat
down to sumptuous dinner and
supper. Those who went out were:

Nothing But Special Delivery Letters Deliy.
cred on Sunday.
In accordance with law just passed
by congress all post offices of the first
and second GLASS must hereafter keep
the general delivery, carriers windows,
and look boxes closed to the public on
Sundays. This. however, does not pre-.
vent the prompt delivery of special
delivery letters. The law reads as fol.
lows:
"That hereafter postoff1ces of the
tirst and second class shall not be open
on Sundays for the purpose of deliver.
ing mail to the general public; but this
provision shall not prevent the prompt
delivery of special delivery mail"
Postmaster Stanley received b Q
above instructions from the FIRST As.
sistant Postmaster General on Tuesday.
1t seems that in many places public
sentiment opposed the opening of the
post.oftice on Sundays, and in these
localities the closed pokt.office on that
day has been in practice for some time.
This is the first time any general order
has been made to that effect however,
and it is now compelled by law. It is
thought this order will be of but little
inconvenience to residents of Hot
Springs, especially after they have ac.
oustomed themselves to the change.

Engineer Lea to Hot Springs Tuesday
over the road thru the heart of the
Hills, which has received much favora.
ble discussion lately. The trip was
made for the purpose of getting the
opinion of this road expert in this
route, for extensive improvements are
to be made on this roadway by the
three counties thru which it passes and
there should be no mistake in making
the outlay.
Mr.. Lea was enthusiastic over the
trip thru the Hills, from Deadwood via
Pactola, Hill City, Custer. Wind Cave
and to Hot Springs. This trip gives
one glimpses of every sort of scenery
mountain and vale, woodland and
meadow, jungle and plain. For scenic
beauty it is unsurpassed. The epgi-

cult court.
Only one was jury case and this
was the case Of Jennie Parrott vs. f..
M Stewart for the possession of seven
cattle sold to Mr.. Stewart by man
named Hunsicker, nephew of Mr..
Parrott. Hlnsicker had bill of sale
for the cattle Rived by Parrott shortly
before the lstter's death, and il there
was any wrongful action 1t was evident.

sides we're agreed that Stewards FORE
man who made the purchase; was an
innocent purchaser. w. b. Dudley re-
presented the plaintiff and l., H. He'd.
rick and s. E. Wilson the defendent.
After being out for about six hours
the jury brought in a verdict for Mrs.
Parrott and it is expected that Stewart
will be able to recover from Hunsicker
who is banker of Ohio.
An important case was that of the
Boston Investment Co. vs. Hot Springs
Independent School district No. 10
There was dispute as to the manner
OF computing interest, which made a
difference of about fourteen hundred
dollars. Both sides were agreed as to
the facts. The plaintiff was represent
ed in court by Judge A. s. Tibbetts of
Lincoln, one of the ablest lawyers of
Nebraska. S. E. Wilson was attorney
for the school board. About 1899 the
Boston concern bought a judgement
OF about S45OO. Fifteen hundred dol
lars have since been paid and the
plaintiff contends that this should be
applied on accrued interest, while the
school board desires that it be credited
to reducing the principal of the ao-
count. The Judge took the case under
advisement and no decision has been
rendered.
Several cases came up on change of
venue. One from Custer county was

home and wrote three column story
of the Black Hills which is pu b.
lisbed in the Binnt Advocate, the lead.

scribes the plunges, the hotels and the
sanitarium and says of the latter, "Of
all the useful and artistic government
buildings, this for the old soldiers, is
the best in America F" He comm ends

GAME PRESERVE IS ASSURED

residents of the Black Hills as an at

ating these animals is now an assured
fact, thanks to the efforts of Congress
man q. w. Martin.
Mr.. Martin has been at work for
some time on the agricultural appro.
priation bill which has just become a
law by the signature of President Taft,
to have inserted an item creating the
Wind Cave National Reserve. In this
he was successful and not only was the
reserve crested, but an appropriation
of 600 was made which is available
at once and until it is used.
1t is proposed to commence work Oh
this reserve at once and to rush it to
completion. A portion of the Wind
Cave grounds will be surrounded by a
suitable fence and the water system
will be put in shape making it All ideal
home for wild game. The American
Bison society has offered to don ate
thirty head of buffalo, the monarch OF

card for the Hills. He says that both
this road and the valley road from Hot
Springs to Rapid, thru Fairburn and
Hermosa should be available, as it is
impracticable to neglect these towns.
In regard to the valley prairie road,
which comes directly from Rapid City
here, touching Hermosa, Fairburn and
Buffalo Gap, improvement of this
thorofare is up to Pennington county,
and no disposition has been shown to
give it any attention. Judge Levi Mo-
Gee, who is now here, states that Pen.
ningtou county has had all she could
do to put in the bridges at their east
ern boundary, which cost $50 600, and
make necessary repairs in the roads in
the various directions just outside
of Rapid City, which have cost $4,000
more. But the judge says Pennington
will do all that can be expected of her
in the end, and that as matter of fact
her investments along good roads lines
have done more for the Black Hills in
general than the work of any other
county, for without the construction
of these bridges, the cost of which is
being borne entirely by Pennington
county, it would be impossible for
automobile tourists from across the
State to get to the Hills at all without
great inconvenience.
