OF the Degree of Honor gave a very
entertaining affair for the other
members OF the Degree, the Work
men and some invited friends. The
social part was begun with a tray
cling game in which blank spaces of

followed by a very enjoyable pro-
gram, the opening number of which
was an intrumental solo by Miss
Bessie Walpole, and Helen and Mar
garet Livermore followed with reci-
tations. Misses Gladys Grace, Thel-
ma Cassem, Helen Kotz and Alma

number in costume, and she pre-
sented it in fine shape. Mrs. Henry

citing a number. The Degree of
Honor ladies had prepared an East

In the guests making purchases from

MANY TO RETURN TO
CLAIMS THEY LEFT
EXCEPTIONAL PROSPECT FOR
GOOD SEASON WEST OF RIVER
Is WELL ADVERTISED.

Deadwood, S. D.-Spriag is now
believed to have set in in earnest in
western South Dakota and farmers
are making preparations for their
this years crops. Although this
has been the severest winter ever
known in this part of the state, re
ports from every one of the agricul-
tural and ranching districts declare
that so far as soil conditions go.
this should be a banner year for
crops.
There is an abundance OF moisture
i'm the ground and the lateness of
the winter weather has prevented
any growth from danger of late frost
or cold snap. Loss has been heavy
among those ranchers and stockmcn
who kept their stock over. but most
of them were wise enough to sell
last fall and the losses, save to a
few individuals, will not come any
where neal what they otherwise
would.
What little stock there is left
may have a hard time of it until
the e grass appears as hay is so
scarce it is now selling for as high
as S35 per ton in the extreme north
west portion of the state. when it
can be obtained at all. Meade,
Butte, Perkins, and Harding counties
which were the scene of the great
est growth in this part of the state
by new settlers up to the time of the
drought two years ago, are all
making preparations for the return of
many of these settlers who were
forced to temporarily abandon their
claims. The amount of moisture
this part of the state has had this
winter and the indications for large
crops this wear, have been widely
advertised by the state publicity
commissioner and county authorities
with the result that numerous for
mer homesteaders have been located
and have sent word hat they will
return within the next few weeks.
The time limit for leave of alb
sence during the winter months for
homcsteaders, expires April IS, and
the annual exodus of claimholders
and homesteaders who work in the
mines and in other ways in the towns
during the winter, has already set
in, all four of the above mentioned
counties drawing heavily from the
IIomestake and other mines that
work all the year around and in adj
dition to these. many other men who
have put off filing on homesteads
during the past few years, are now
availing themselves of their rights
and going into the country.

was organized with the election of
Rev. w. M. Mair as president; Lau-
rice Vickers. secretary, and S. Cat
trell as treasurer. The meetings are
to be held once Il month, when sub

ed. Mayor Hitchcock, Geo. A. Silsby

nation of the club, and believed that
great good could and would be ac-
complished for the church work.

ASSESSMENT
CUT HALF MILLION
MCPHERSON COUNTY, HOWEVER.
is RAISED FOR REFUSING TO
PAY AUDITORS ENPENSE
BILL.

Pierre, S. Dat the meeting OF
the county auditors with the state
assessment board, the matter OF real
estate assessments was one of the
main issue, and while the list was
left substantially as it was last year,
there We're a few changes, the re-
suits Of which will be a reduction of
fifty cents an acre on assessment
prices we're allowed in the counties
of Bon Homme, Charles Mix, Greg
DRY, Corson, Hamlin, and Jerauld,
and twenty cents an acre was cut off
in Dewey county. An increase Of
twenty-five cents an acre was plac-
ed on Custer county, and fifty cents
an acre on Mcpherson county, and
while there was no official record
made Of the reason for the increase
in Mcpherson, it was generally ad-
mitted hat 1t was on an understand
ing that the county commissioners
refused to allow expenses for the
auditor from that county to attend
$2S5,20o to the assessment of the
county, on which the state tax will
be practically $1,000 for the year
the action of the commissioners will
not be looked upon with all the ia
vor possible by the tax payers.
On the mstter of personal prop
erty assessment the contest was
largely over the proper manner of
assessment of automobiles, in which
there was such variation two wears
ago, the state board raised some of
the counties almost 100 per cen on
their returns. The auditors express
ed a belief that they we're in a bet
ter position to know what automo-
bile values really are in their coun-
ties, than does the state board, as
values are subject to wide diff
ferences in counties where a num-
Der of old and second hand machines
are owned, as against counties where
most of the machines are new.

"A belated report is sent in of a
delightful surprise that was given
the members of the Mitchell Art

ed in her beautiful furnished apart

Mrs. Frank H. Winsor, who spent
a part of The winter in California.
The Irish green color scheme was
beautifully carried out from the
dainty shamrock sandwiches to the

were given as favors. The whole

DEMOCRATS AGREE TO
NOMINATE CANNON
THEN CONSIDER ABERDEEN
BANKER \ STRONG C.ANDI-
DATE TO PUT UP FOR STATE
TREASURER.

Aberdeen, S. D.=While the demo-
not expect to carry the state, lever
theless, the possibility of a national
democratic victory, or something
else in the political atmosphere has
imbued them with far more energy
than is ordinarily the case in South
Dakota. 1t is seldom indeed that the
democracy of the state is strong
enough to develop factions, but this
year there are two factions. one
headed by f. S. johnson of Yankton,
who is a candidate for the democrat
ic nomination for governor, and the
other headed by p. +. Wickhem OF
Alexandria, who also seeks the CUB
e%rnatorial nomination. The two fac
tionS are divided on president, also,
one faction favoring Wilson and the
other Clark, while both are ready to
unite on Bryan should the latter en-
ter the race.
But while the democrats are di-
vided on governor and president,
they are united on candidates for a
number of state offices, among them
that of state treasurer. Since Frank
b. Cannon, president of the First
National bank of Aberdeen, a%nnounc-
ed his candidacy for the democratic
nomination for state treasurer. ten
days ago, no other man has been
mentioned for the place, and his
friends here believe he will be nomi-
mated without opposition. Mr.. Gam

81, 1851, and attended the common
schools OF Ohio until he was fifteen.
From that time on he paid his own
way, and by his own eXertions was
enabled to cur two and a half
years more schooling, and at the age
of 10 became a school teacher, and
accumulated $500, the nucleus of
his present fortune. In 1874 he en-
tered the meat market business at
Eaton Rapids, Mich, i'll which he
continued for five years, and then for
three years conducted a shoe store
in the same town. In 1882 he came
to Glendale, y. d., and engaged in
the banking business, first in a pri-
waite banking company, which later
became a state bank and in 1902 the
first National bank of Glendale, OF
which he has been president since its
establishment. On March /, 1899,
he purchased a controlling interest
in the First National bank of Aber-
deem and removed here, becoming
president of the institution. He is
heavily interested in the Aberdeen
Wholesale Grocery, the Hugger
Transfer company, and many other
enterprises, and also owns, with his
brother, w. H. Cannon OF Glendale,
one of the finest cattle ranches in
the northwest, stocked with pure
bred Herefords.

AIDS MEETS IN CHURCH.

Thursday afternoon the Ladies'
Aid Society met in the basement of
the Congregational church. The
membership and the attendance at
the meetings Of the society are be-
coming so large that the average
house Is too small to accommodate
them, and the hostesses on this oc-
caslon decided to entertain at the
church. Mesdames CLANCY, Snow,
Johnson and Sampson were the host
esses for the occasion, and they ar
ranged some very delightful refresh
ments which were served during the
latter part of the afternoon, for
which the tables were set for about
nifty. Arrangements were completed
for holding the annual Easter ba-
zaar, which occurs next Saturday
afternoon at the church basement,
and for which many attractive
articles have been made. 1t was an
nounced that now that the society is
completely out of debt that the
energies of the women would be ap-
piled to the purchase of a pipe organ
Tor the church, a very good sum hav-
ing already been laid aside for the
start. The church basement affords
an ideal place for the holding of the
aid society and it is likely that it
VIII utilized to a greater extent in
the future.

MITCHELL
SURPRISED THE PASTOR.

IT was about three years ago that
Dr.. and Mrs. j. S. Hoagland came
to Mitchell, when he accepted a
call to the pastorate of the Metho-
dist church. They have been work
ing constantly and faithfully in their
chosen field and have won a high
place in the esteem of the people.
TO commemorate the coming of the
pastor and his wife, the Official
Board of the church arranged a
surprise party in their honor Fri
day evening which was carried to
a conclusion that was pleasurable to
all. DR.. and Mrs. Hoagland and one
or two other friends were invited
over to the home of DIR. Bobb for
supper, and while the party was ell
1oying a social hour a%fterward, the
telephone summoned DR.. Hoagland
home to perform q marriage cere-
mony, which was a natural enough
to not raise suspicion in the mind of
the pastor. He took his little son
along for a witness, and went to the
parsonage. Ut was clothed in dark
ness, but the moment the pastor
stepped inside the house there was
a fiood of light turned on and he
stood with gaze transfiXed as he
looked in the smiling countenances
OF a great many Of his parishioners.
Greetings were exchanged, eXplana-
tlons we're offered and DR.. Hoagland
hurried to the telephone and called
Mrs. Hoagland to come home and
act as a witness to the marriage cere-
mony. Her surprise was as great
and complete as in the first instance,
The evening was passed informally
in social p leasures and Mrs. j. l.,
Seaton gave two piano selections
and Mrs. Samuel Weir sang twice.
Late in the evening the ladies got
out the abundance of good things to
eat and the refreshments were serv.
ed. The occasion was a very pleas
ant one indeed and a deeper bond
OF friendship and good feeling pre-.
vailed, If such We're possible.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
Says the Hurley Herald:

Says the Hurley Herald:
"A number of papers chiefly
organs Of some political clique
or candidate, are making sar-
castle assaults on the Mitchell
Republican because it persists
In a non-committal attitude regard
Ing various candidates. now pend
Ing before the voters. The Herald
will venture the opinion that the Re-
publican is following the right
course. Editor Ronald is trying to
make some money out Of the news
paper business and to that end is not
running his paper as a tail to any
body's political kite. He Is too busy
to waste his time fighting over per-
eonal ambitions that do not even re-
MOtely concern him. The public will
be we'll served II any one of the
prominent candidates are chosen to
serve In official capacity. The diff
ference between the various candi-
dates is largely one of antagonizing
personal ambitions. There is no
reason why any editor who posses
es q mind Of his own (and Is not a
candidate for office himself) should
concern himself with their fortunes.
The Republican represents a type of
new and intelligent editorship-the
wrathful critics r the survivors OF
q benighted past"
For the compliments Of our friend
1t Hurley, The Republican wishes to
make due acknowledgment.
When the present ownership took
over The Republican, it was remark
ed that 4, after a period of years, the
readers OF the paper should recog-
nize that 1t was sincerely edited, the
ownership would feel we'll repaid for
years of effort. 1t Is the ambition of
The Republican to become known as
a newspaper that speaks its mind on
all subjects without bias and with
out partisanship. II 1t can obtain
the confidence of It's readers, The Re-
publican will be gratified most
highly. II they can feel that it is
e~ndeavoring to give to them the i'm
portant news Of the world, without
Withholding any OF it and without
cOloring It to suit any ends whatever,
The Republican will feel rewarded
for all its attempts.
The Republican believes it to be
more stultifying to be obliged to see
all events in the light of some mans
candidacy than 1t is to be known as
no mans organ. In the presidential
campaign now in progress, why
should any newspaper refuse to pub
lish that which may be to the adj
vantage to one or the other of the
candidates? Is that fair the read
ers? Is any newspaper dealing hon
estly with Its subscribers when it
NILS Its news columns with plate
matter supplied by some campaign
committee and presented as If it
were news?
Despite any sarcastic remarks be-
u of its unconventionality, The
Republican prefers to go on speak
ing its genuine opinions of the i'm
portant issues without regard for the
fortunes of any candidates, but with
an ~ single to the development OF
that form of government which will
assure the greatest good to the great
est number.
