IN A FLoURIsHING CONDITION.

From all appearances the gang of
stock rustlers that have been operating
along the Reservation line, is still in a
f1ourishing condition. A bunch of
horses belonging to the Sieger boys, Is
head in number, which have been in the
habit of running in the black draws and
watering at the river, suddenly disap-
peared. This bunch of horses was seen
on their usual range on the morning OF
July 4th, and in spite of days of hard
riding were not seen or heard of again
till last Sunday when they were found
far over on the Reservation. 1t is not
the habit of horses to leave their range
of their own accord and it would be i'm
possible for them to cross the Reserva-
ton line without assistance. Along with
this bunch belonging to the Seigers,
were found AZ others belonging to Joe
Gamet, John Maxson and II. T.. Haw-
thorne. 1t appears as though somebody
hasn't taken the hint and it may become
necessary to show someone that there is
always room for one more at Leaven-
worth.-Buffalogap Gazette.

POLITICS MUCH MIXED.
Latest Scheme Sprung for the Clearing
Up Of the States Political
Muddle.

Pierre, 5. d., July 23.-The latest pro-
position to be sprung for clearing up the
political situation in this state is that an
extra little ballot" be furnished to
each republican voter, on which shall
appear the names of William HI. Taft,
and Theodore Roosevelt for president,
to themselves, and that each voter be
given an opportunity to express his
wishes on that ballot, with the under
standing that the electors of the state
be pledged to cast their votes for the
one who secures the highest number of
votes. OF course the objection which is
raised to this is that Roosevelt is not a
republican candidate, but the candidate
of an entirely new party, and that his
candidacy has nothing to do with the
republicans of the state, this coming
from the Taft followers. Then again
Roosevelt has been quoted as saying
that he will object to any combination
of any kind with the old republican or
ganization, and he may also object, but
that is the latest proposition to be
sprung, and is one which will be urged
for time at least.
Of course there is a lot of talk coming
from both sides in regard to new
"tickets." But any move of this class
rubs up against the question of what
part of what would compose the ticket
of either faction being on the regular
republican primary ticket. There would
be no way to make a clean cut list of
either faction unless some of the prima-
ry selections should voluntarily with
draw and allow vacancies to be filed
1t is not likely that any of the primary
nominees will take any such action, and
unless they do so, there can be no com.
plete line up, or "ticket" of either fac
ton under one comprehensive head for
all their selections. Without this each
ticket would be split between the regu-
lar nominee and the independent nomi.
nee to fill the places each wants to reach
and that would mean a tangle which
would leave so many voters in doubt
that they would just punch the circle"
at the head of the regular ticket to be
certain that they would get their votes
counted for the men they knew they
wanted to vote for, even though that
list might contain a few names not Just
to their liking
While the factional leaders are mill
ing, Geo. Egan is standing back sicking
them on as he is out of it, and evidently
from his remarks not inclined to stand
on party regularity as he did two years
ago, but ready to help stir the mess at
any opening he can find.
And then the democrats are accusing
Coffy, the man selected for their state
chairman as being so new a recruit to
democracy that he can hardly be called
a probationer, much less a democrat,
and citing his actions in the republican
field two years ago, as foundation for
their charges. Altogether the situation
is interesting, and the "plot thickens"
as the days roll along toward the time
when some one has to do something if
they ever get beyond the talk stage.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR.
Preparations for Great Exposition of
1912 in Full Swing--Attraotions
Greater Than Ever.

The State Fair board is exerting itself
to the utmost to make the fair of 1912
the greatest in the West, and judging
from the manner in which the work is
shaping up these expectations will be
more than realized. With attractions
already secured and exhibition space al.
ready demanded, the board can now
guarantee that the coming South Dakota
State Fair will be the star attraction of
the West.
The aviation meet will far surpass that
of last year. Three different types of
aeroplanes, two biplanes, Curtiss and
Wright, and French Newport mono
plane, will be in the air simultaneously
twice daily. This will mean six flights
each day under an iron-clad contract.
The daring work last year by the un-
fortunate Cromwell Dixon called forth
unanimous praise, but the flights of this
year will be still greater and still more
amazing.
No other fair in the country will pro-
vide stronger speed program. There
are already thirty more entries than last
year in the stake races, total of l75. in
Guiding the best racing stock of Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
Illinois, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Louis
lana, Washington, North Dakota and
South Dakota.
The board has secured an excellent
list of attractions, most of which have
never appeared before in the west. A
marvellous exhibition of wireless tel
egraphy will be in actual operation, Civ.
ing visitors the privilege of sending and
receiving messages. Young men opera
tors will give complete explanations of
wireless service on ships, and in army
and nav2 warfare. There will be the
customary Indian village of fnative Sioux
Indians with full regalia. officers of
the Indian agency report that they will
bring the old warrior who killed Gen
eral Custer. Horne's Wild animal show
will present complete collection of wild
animals, birds and reptiles of various
kinds.
There will not be a dull moment be-
tween races at the grand stand. Sensa-
tional vaudeville acts will be presented
on stage in front of the grand stand,
including the famous funny Marco
twins, of international repute; Provost
and Brown, comedy novelty entertain
ers with their corkscrew kid; Kalin-
owske Brothers, equilibrists Casey and
Milligan, the pantomine base ball laugh
ing hit; Patterson Troupe, world re-
nowned lady aerialists; and Bartelle
and Murphy, Americas foremost COM
edy acrobats.

With three candidates in the field, the
possibility that no one candidate can get
a majority vote in the electoral college
and the possibility of deadlock in both

Philander q. Knox, secretary Of state,
may become president under the law OF
