MEETING IS
NOT CALLED
Board May Not Take
Up Investigation

According to Secretary of State
! Brodigan, who is also member of
! the state prison board, no call has
been made for meeting of the
board to consider the testimony
taken before the closed-door investi-
cation of prison conditions follow
ing the escape of convict Skinner.
1t is expected the board will meet IN
a few days to allow the bills for the
month of October, but outside of
this usual session no other meeting
has been billed
Warden Cowing is now on his
way from British Columbia with
Wilson. an escaped convict, and it
is stated that no meetings will be
had to consider the prison matter
until his return to this city.
The transcript of evidence taken
before the board is now on file in
the office OF the secretary Of state
In many cases the testimony of
the various witnesses conflict and at
no place in the record is there any
one individual directly blamed for
the escape of Skinner
The whole matter sifted down
shows that Skinner had. prepared
for his leavetaking many months
in advance, and owing to the posi-
ton which he held, was in a posi-
ton to lay the plans and cary them
out successfully. He had been al
lowed more privileges than any
other prisoners from the fact that
he occupied the position of cleo
trician at the prison and the tool
room was at his command
Up to the present time Warden
Cowing has made no statement re-
garding his reported resignation,
and none of the members of the
board will say whether ne is desir-
Gus of leaving his present position
or not At any rate no resignation
has been forwaded to the board and
the whole matter seems to rest with
Cowing at the pesent time--Reno

THE ELECTION

State reports OF the Senatorial and
Congressional election are a sort Of
tag proposition and no one seems to
know exactly where any OF the can
didates are "at." One day one side
is reported as being in the lead and
the next the other is ahead. 1t will
take the official count to determine
who is elected and until then it is
all speculation. 1t is practically
settled that Pittman is elected.

 "The thing most needing our atten- tion is the perfection of political ma chinery of our life. Politics means a struggle, which we can but hope will result in the solution of our economic problems. Truly the future here looks brightest of probably any place in the nation. Here the bars to equality have been removed.

BELIEVED ORGANIZED REVOLT IN MEXICO PRACTICALLY HAS
 BEEN GIVEN UP.
GUERILLA WAR THREATENED
Revoiutionists Believe This Form of Warfare Will Prove More Vexa-
 tious to Government

Fl Paso, Tex, July 6.-Organized revolution in Mexico, so far as 1t simu- lated military campaign of concen, trated forces was by movements of the rebel army shown to have ended, and in its place there was substituted a guerilla warfare, threatening wide spread devastation in Northwestern Mexico.
 Five troop trains bore the retreating tnsurrectos from the vicinity of Chi huahua City to Juarez, opposite here, and it was expected most of the rebels would be sent southward from Juarez distance of 75 miles to Casas Grandes, from which point it was in tended to effect an entrance to the rich mining state of Sonora.
 Having abandoned Chihuahua to the federals, the rebels destroyed all bridges between Bachima, where the last battle occurred, and Sauez, 30 miles north of Chihuahua, the small station at which the rebel outposts now are gathered. The evacuation of Chihuahua means that the zone of rebel control will be greatly dimin- ished, Juarez being the only important point that remains.
 Gen. Orozco, the rebel chief, was ex- pected in JuareZ to direct the move ments of various bands into which the rebel army is now disintegrating.
 Though the invasion of Sonora means a rambling campaign in the mountains. the rebels, most of them momtaineers, believe themselves equal to it. The revolution in that form. they say, will prove more vexa- tious to the government than an ordi, nary campaign. To check the rebel in- vasion of Sonora, the Mexican govern ment is moving forces from .Agua Prieta and Western Sonora. Fully 4,000 men are believed to be under way to intercept the rebels.
 Gen. Sanjines left Agua Prieta for Frontera. Sonora. to take command of the main column, and while the forces of Gen. Sanjines are engaging the rebels on the state line between Sonora and Chihuahua, the army of Gen. Huerta is to move up from the City of Chihuahua along the Mexican Northwestern Railroad toward Casas Grandes and attack the rebels from the rear
 The next battle if any occurs, should be at Casas Grandes. At Juarez there is little likelihood of a fight, as the rebels plan to withdraw most of their forces toward Sonora

Federation to Continue Along Educa- tional Lines for Present-Is Believed Expedient by
 Leaders.

San Francisco, July 6.-The general Federation of Club Women of the United States, which has been in con- vention since Tuesday, June 25, will conclude its sessions when Mrs Philip N. Moore will surrender the presi- dency to Mrs. Percy " Pennybacker, the newly elected executive, and in- troduce the officers of the federation for the ensuing two years.
 Included in the program for the closing day will be the report of the committee on resolutions. The sup porters of women suffrage, who are desirous of having the federation in dorse the issue, are not now quite so hopeful that their efforts will meet with success, because of the vote-556 to 255-by which Mrs. Percy V. Pen nybacker of Austin, Tex, was elected president over Mrs. Philip Carpenter, attorney, of New York City. Mrs. Car penter advocated equal suffrage in an address before the convention. There remains now only the opportunity to make mOllOu IOT du luuorSeIneH, from the floor of the convention. That such a motion will be rejected is the belief of the conservatives.
 While the new president Mrs. Pen. nybacker, believes in equal suffrage, she shares with the majority of the delegates the belief that it is inadvisa. ble to commit the federation to the movement. The conservatives hold the belief that the federation's efforts lines.

leqends of the West.

Springield.-Dr. G.. g. Wenzlaff,
president of the state normal school
here, has a new book just issuing from
the press. 1t is entitled Sketches and
Legends of the West" and has to do
with stories pertaining to the west in
general and South Dakota in partic-
ular. The stories deal with a wide
range of subjects through the Indian
period and the pioneer days. The til
tie OF some Of the stories gives an
Idea of the ground covered. One sto-
ry deals with Spirit Mound, near Yer
million, another. Where the Lights
Went Out" with a place on the river
above Yankton, where riyermen of
an early day said the lights on all
boats disappeared for some time. An
other story deals with Bon Homme
island and the old town of Bon
Homme. Another is an Indian legend
dealing with a stone face in the rocks
near Running Water. The early days
at old Fort Randall is pictured in an
other story, as are the Bad Lands and
Black Hills. Aside from the interest
which this book has for people in
South Dakota and the west, it will in
terest all who enjoy good wholesome
stories. II is published by the Capital

SMALLER HATPINs COMING IN
Are Now Seen In Moderate Size and
Modified Form, Of Gold, Silver
and Coral.

From the extremely large hatpins
of the past season there has been a
gradual return to those of nor con
venient shapes and sizes. Both the
long, narrow pins and the broad, fiat
pins have been entirely deposed by
the pins of moderate size and modified
form.
Hatpins with heads quite round,
disk shaped, or OF small ellipses and
bear shapes are In highest favor, and
many beautiful new designs and com
binations of materials are to be seen
In the fashionable iewelry shops.
Here Is one of heavy gold, in that
rich old-gold color. set with fiery
green tourmalines that dance and
sparkle in the light. Another is set
with a stud OF pink coral that is al.
most covered by the inclosing gold,
the stone showing through the open
work pattern of the metal.
Lovely pins there are in silver. too.
One Of these holds a piece Of tur-
quoise matrix that Is Of remarkable
beauty, and another has a most dis.
tinctive note in its deeptoned lapis-
lazuli.
