HUNDRED SEARCH ALL
NIGHT FOR LOST BABY

Winner. S. D.--Wandering over the
prairie an entire night and escaping
without any harm Detailing her, was
the experience of the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
ASA. residents of this (Tripp) coun-
ty. During the time the little girl was
wandering around neighbors to the
number of about one hundred and
the frantic parents were conducting
a search for her, this search extend
ing over a wide cop of country.
About II O'Clock in the morning the
little girl toddled to a cornfleld III
which the father was working. After
visiting for a short time with her
father she started to return to the
house. She evidently became confus-
ed as to directions, and when she dis
appeared from the sight of her father
that was the last seen of her until
about IL O'Clock the following day,
when she was found in a pasture
about two miles from her home.
When discovered she was asleep in
the grass and apparently none the
worse for having been lost on the
prairie for a period of twenty-four
hours.

The speaker did not mention the

campaign, Mr., Pinchot said:

hands OF the party that passes the
reciprocity bill with Canada. the
party that in the last session four
times voted down a measure to re-
peal the reciprocity bill and that is

ON . platform declaring that all pro-
lection. including hal ON the crops
OF South Dakota farmers, is uncon-
slitutional. That reciprocity bill was
unfair to the farmers because it pro
posed to make them buy in a dearer
market and sell in a cheaper mar
ket.

ITS ROOSEVELT OR BUST"
SAYS WIN. ALLEN WHITE.

EMPORIA, Kas., Jan. 11.-Under the
caption "A New Leader Needed" Will
liam Allen White says editorially
1.-THE defeat of Judge Martin, the Re.
publican Congressional candidate in the
Seventh Kansas District, shows just
one thing clearly: That the Democrats
had the votes. In practically every
special Congressional election held since
Taft was made President the Demo
Gratis have won. Moreover, in every
State in the Union, at every election
since Taft was made President. the
Democrats have made gains.
william H. Taft found the party
united; his leadership has left it torn
and broken. Unless the Republicans
change leaders the country will change
parties. A lot of minor things enter
into the seventh district, but they are
minor things. The important fact de-
veloped is this: THAT this country Is
going Democratic as sure as November
comes unless our party changes lead
ers.'
There is Taft baking with the con
servatives, there is La Toilette roaring
with the progressives. Someone must
take the reins who can put
pepper where it will do the most good
or the balky horse and put a kindly
hand On lie wild horse.

funct Meyers-Wolf Manufacturing

plications for patents wned by the
company. The bidder deposited 5000

sale, n had failed to pay the balance,
declared the witness.
In the answer filed by Finis f. Mont
gomery, counsel for Mr.. Kuhn, it is
c~ontended that former Judge Guild, as
receiver, had no title to the patents
and did not secure title until he be-
came trustee some time later. Mr..
Kuhn declared he did not complete the
sale, as his counsel advised him that
the receiver had no right to sell the
patents. The hearing will be continued.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Senators
n congressman are today chuckling
over the story being passed around the

by senator MARITIME, of New Jersey
last Saturday, is disclosed.

whether they would, in the future, hold
open or closed cancuses. Senator Mar

The doorkeeper did not wish to argue
The subject, but delivered his ultima
tum. The senator could not take his
friends in. Doorkeeper Sinnott, the
official keeper of the lock, was then APP
pea1ed to, with the same result.
Senator MARITIME would not be put
down, however, and asked the chair
man OF the caucus to put the matter to
a vote. 1t was decided to permit the
men to pass through the door into an
other corridor. and there examine pic
lures and things" The party did not
stay long.
