been the greatest causes in inclin-

are the feeling that farming is not

ton and the fact that as the ordi.

much drudgery compared with the

LOR|MER WANTS PAY
FOR DEFENSE EXPENSE
HIS FRIENDS WILL TRY TO GET
AN APPROPRIATION OF $25,-
900 FOR HIM.

Washington, ID. C.--f the men
who voted to retain William Lorimer
in the United States senate have
their way, the feelings of the dis
graced Illinoisan will be solved by
an appropriation of at least $685.
900.
This appropriation will be advo-
Gated on the ground that Mr.. Lorimer
should be reimbursed for a part of
the expenses to which he has been
put in defending the fraudulent title
he had to a seat in the senate.
1t is recognized that the appropri-
alton will not cover the sun spent by
Mr.. Lorimer, Edward Hines, and 9TH
ers. 1t is reported here that the two
years fight in which he has been EN-
gagged has cost him and Hines about
100000.
In behalf of the proposal to make
this gift to Mr.. Lorimer, attention is
called to his argument that the
great Tribune conspiracy" sought
not only his political but his financial
ruin.
1t is not likely, however, that the
majority of the senate will be dis
posed to be as generous as ne the
men who we're anxious to have Lori
mer retain his seat. The senators
who voted him out hold that Mr.
Lorimer is entitled to nothing; thai
for nearly three years he drew salary
and allowances to which he was not
entitled.
1t is their view that, if there is te
be any reimbursement the treasury
of the United States should be the
beneficiary.
AS it is. the government has spent
about %$15O,OO0 in investigating ant
disposing OF the Lorimer case. To
make an appropriation to pay Mr.
Lorimer's expenses would, it is claim
ed, result in the establishment of ;
precedent hat might come back tt
plague the senate.

first inkling that members of the
family had that i'll had befallen the
boy was when his pony returned
home without him. A search revealed
his body lying in a field where it
had fallen. 1t is believed that the
side of his head struck an old con-
cave, for when found his head was
resting upon it. Physicians are work
ing hard over the boy in the effort to
save his life.

Canton, S. D.-To have an automo-
bile in which they were riding back
through the railing of a bridge and
drop fifteen feet without injury to
any of the occupants of the machine
was the experience of five Lincoln
county residents. The Occupants OF
the automobile were Mr.. and Mrs. j.
Welsh and their daughter and her
two children. They were crossing
the Big Sioux river when the acct
dent occurred. Mr.. Welsh, who vas
driving the machine, in changing
from high to low speed to run up
the grade to the bridge accidentally
reversed the machine. Before he
he could regain control the. automo-
bile backed upon the bridge, crashed
through the railing and dropped a
distance OF fifteen feet, striking the
ground within IA few feet of the wa.
ter's edge. Had it dropped into the
river it is probable that all five oc'
cupants would have been drowned
Although the car turned turtle the
occupants escaped without injury. Ii

leading Methodists from that part of
the state lying east of the Missouri
river will attend the annual con
ference of the Black Hills Mission of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
which will be held in Edgmont COM
mencing Aug. s., and continuing for
several days thereafter. During for
mer years the conference has been
held in September, but this year it
was decided to hold it in August.
The presiding bishop at this years
conference will be Rev. Napthali
Luccock, ID. D., of Helena. Mont, one
of the new bishops elected at the re-
cent general conference held at Min
neapolis.
All Methodist clergymen in the
western half of South Dakota are
members of the mission. and the
Methodists of Edgemont are making
elaborate preparations for their en-
tertainment during the time the con-
ference is in session and they are
guests of the city. The members of
the mission will arrive in Edgemont
on the evening of Aug. Z, and as now
planned they will be given a recep-

Vablen, S. D.-With the death. at
the age of rs years OF Frederick La
Croix of Neblen, S. D., another link
connecting the northwest of the pres
ent with the northwest of the SOS is
seXered. Mr.. LaCroix was an Indian
scout in his younger days and took
a conspicuous part i n the rescue
of white women and children in the
Minnesota of 1862. He was a
member of the Eleventh Minnesota

several children survive him. His
death was due to Bright's disease
and complications due to old age.

Still another needed change in the
express business is found in the pro-
vision permitting shippers to desis-
nate the route their parcels shalt
take and compelling the companies
to deliver to each other when nee
essary to obtain the quickest line of
transportation.
On the whole it is a most import
ant and far-reaching decision and if,
as it promises, it instills a measure
of justice into the relations of eX-

will have presented to the public one
of the most impressive of testimon-

TAFT AMI

President Taft's extraordinary,
partially to the judiciary is such as
might easily lead him into serious
mistakes. His belief that a judgship
is the next thing to heaven, as pub
licly expressed by him, is such as to
blind him to charges against the in
tegrity of a member of the j%udisiary.
His elevation of Judge Archibald to
the m court Is an Illustration
of this. The Republican does not be-
lieve that Taft would knowingly
honor any judge unfit for his posi-
ton, but his extraordinary admira-
ton of the ermine has in fact be-
come a weakness with him.
1t cannot be said that Taft was
ignorant of the opinion OF Judge
Archibald held in many quarters at
the time OF his elevation. Out of the

When the matter of consolidation

obtaining an expression from the sub

and as to whether, if there was to be
only one system the manual or the
automatic plant should be installed.
A report of the vote, which was
obtained by postal cards, was made
to the city commission at Sioux City,
Wednesday evening. The total vote,
counting those using the automatic
exclusively and those with both sys-
TENS, showed 2106 preferring the
automatic and 1910 the manual.
