PrOpitiOuS Time.

There could have been no time more
propitiOus for the speech of a free sill
yer advocate of Bryan's eloquence
Tillman's speech had thrown the con-
"ention into an uproar and had Great
ed dissension among the free silver
men, while Hills address had brought
joy to the gold minority and had
heightened the disaffection in the free
silver ranks. 1t was at this moment
when William Jennings Bryan, then
q young man of SO, rose to address
the delegates.
He said:
MI Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention, | would be presump-
tuous indeed, to present myself against
the distinguished gentlemen to whom
you have listened, if this were but a
measuring Of ability, but this is not 4
contest among persons. The humDlest
citizen in all the land when clad in
the armor of a righteous cause is
stronger Of all the whole hosts of err
ror that they can bring. | come to
speak to you in defense of a cause as
holy as the cause of liberty-the cause
of humanity"
Bryans speech was short, occupying
scarcely 5000 words, and during it he
dwelt upon glittering generality in

At a special election at Hurley it
was decided by a vote OF 20 to 73 to
bond the city for $4,000 for the pur-
pose of extending the water mains
and installing a new pumping plant.
The water now used by the city is of
very poor quality because of minerals
but half a mile out in the country
good soft water can be secured. 1t is

and extend the new mains to a lew

The attorney general on application

The state engineers office has pre-

of Pierre has already a high turnpike

side of the deep ravine known as Hi

dam for the lake. This roadway can
be used as the dam for most Of the

A Commemorative Medal has just

the International Exposition of Hy-
giene, at Dresden, in 1911, for the ex-
hibit as displayed and interpreted by
the American Museum Of Safety in its

Medals are now being struck and
will be forwarded shortly.
This is the first instance On record
of any non-German exhibit having

grounds. The state already owns an
artesian we'll which would furnish an
adequate supply for a body of water
many times the size of the proposed
lake. Situated as it would be at the
lower end of the gulch there will al
ways be sufficient flood water to fill

summer. The water from the ar

An interesting reunion took place
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gabriel
Carlson, residents of Lennox, when
Isaac Munson, of Tacoma, Wash, I'M
e~Xpectedly appeared at the Carlson
home, Mrs. Carlson being his sister.
They had been separated for a period
of thirty-five years. Munson had kept
posted as to the whereabouts of his
sister during more than a third of a
century and finally decided to sur
prise her by giving her an unexpected
visit.
George Walker, Of Sansarc, on the
high prairie of northern Stanley coun-
ty, built two large dams on his place
last year, and this year tried an irri-
cation experiment from one of them.
He ploUed two acres and planted the
tract to potatoes. Half of this he irri-
gated by drawing water from one of
his dams, and the other he allowed to
go without irrigation. The soil and
conditions We're the same, other than
the irrigation, and both acres we're
given the same cultivation He is
now putting his plan to the practical
test OF the digger, and finds that the
acre which he irrigated is producing
just five times the crop as is being
secured from the acre which was not
so treated. The result is that he is
arranging to irrigate about twenty
acres from his dams next year and
will confine his farming operations
largely to that tract.

Wo0dmen Increase Rates.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 27.-The head
camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America adopted the proposed read
justment plan, increasing the life in
surance rates of the society and closed
the adjourned regular meeting here
today. The measure was carried by
vote of AGO to POI.
The plan adopted, which will be in
force after one year old, will increase
rates of members under 81 years by
from so to 100 per cent. Members
over 81 may not be assessed more
than SO each assessment each for
81 600, and not more than IL asses
ments and one special assessment
may be made each year. If the SO is
more than the member can pay, he
may pay 81 and the other dollar will
be deducted from the face of his
policy.

for all who may attend and take this

they should.
+ The county graduation exercises
will be held in Butler May 18th. We
are going to ask the pupils to furnish
the program this year. This is the
most pleasing part of the program
and we shall ask them to do this for
us. No one will be required to take
part but we shall depend on the pupils
and teachers to look after this.

nicely and teachers feel that they are
getting something worth while out of

say: "All enjoyed the last chapter.
We feel that we have read good
book and that we have been bene-
fitted Supt. Henderson's reports
have all been encouraging and am
sure many other teachers feel as do
the teachers of Butler.
Miss Myrtle Randall chairman of
Shawnee township, reports good
work and closes by saying, "We like
the second book fine" Several
teachers are more favorably impressed
with the second book than the first
but l hardly think this will be true of
a majority of the teachers, though one
high school teacher remarked to me
not long since that they did not know
how much high school teacher could
do on reading until after reading this
book.
