FINDS 500 WORTH OF
PEARLS IN JIM RIVER

Yankton, S. D.-The prosy old
Jim" river, which the records hold
should be called the Dakota river, is
coming into the limelight for valua-
BILE pearls deposits. Fred Huber was
in town yesterday exhibiting a num-
Der of specimens which he found,
and which it is claimed are worth at
least 500. He said he would lot
sell at that figure.
Huber's collection is the best seen
here since the display shown around
town by William II. Behrens, of
Violin, an eccentric trapper. Behrens
certainly had the pearls and sold
most of them at fair prices, although
he claims that the dealers made most
of the profit wen at that. {
One magnificent pearl, which Beh-
rens knew to, be of exceptional
value, was sold by him for $50. 1t
changed hands several times and
finally reached Queen Olga, of Greece
at a price thai makes Behrens sick
every time he thinks of pearl.
Behrens got his pearls by pick
ing them up in a Mennonite colony
hog yard. The Mennonites. during
the summer, scooped up "a large
quantity of CLAIMS and fed them to
their hogs. In his patient search of
the hog yard, Behrens got more
pearls in a few hours than he could
have secured in many weeks of catch
ing and opening clam shells.

BURGLARY WAS
700 MILES AWAY
NEVERTHELESS, THE ALARM
SYSTEM AT HUDSON BANK
ROUSED THE WHOLE TOWN
FROM SLEEP,

Hudson, S. D.-Hudson people
claim the most sensitive piece of ma
chinery in South Dakota is the burg
alarm at the bank of Hudson. A
bank at Shelbyville, Ind, was robbed
the other night, and at the very min
ute the alarm in the bank of Hudson
went off. The whole town was arous-
ed and within a very few seconds q
crowd, CARRIED mostly in its night
clothes, had assembled at the bank.
The door was opened and a thorough
search of the premises made, but no
burglar could be found. Finally a
machinist was sent for and he mal
aged to stop the alarm, and next day
1t was discovered the burglary really
occurred at Shelbyyille, Ind.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE
~ OF FAC7IONISM
(Contribnted.)

VINO desire TO make a decent contest
on thelr merits as men and republic
cans rather than be the tails to fac
tlonlsts Kites, Or pawns in the game
for the benefit of the men higher
up" The majority OF each proposal
committee could vote to leave vacan-
cies on their respective tickets for all
offices on which the two committees
agree or in cases where the cand;-
dates proposed by them express their
mutual desire to make a non-faction-
al contest in the independent column.
This would be a substantial compli-
ance with the spirit OF the law with
out violating it's letter. and would
deprive the irreconcilables of the
moral benefit of committee nomina-
tons except in cases where there
is an irreconcilable difference on prin
ciple. The ticket agreed upon by the
two committees jointly would have
the moral support of a united party
and there would be no question about
the election of that portion of the
ticket in November. The fa%ctionists
would be left to eat each other up
like the gingerbread dog and the
calico cat--or more ferociously, per-
haps. The prime purpose of this pro-
posed procedure would be CD TO OBJ
viate unnecessary factional contests,
and % to deprive the irreconcilable
factionists of the moral support OF Il
full ticket. The present law would
thus show it has at least the merit
of depriving n or two self-centered
candidates of the power to make up a
ticket for no other purpose than to
strengthen themselves, as vas tho
practice under its immediate prede.
cessor. OF curse if the f%actionists
should find themselves embarrassed
for want of sufficient or desirable
company, they might elect to file in
the independent column also, but the
fact of their failure TO receive tho
support of a majority of both pro
posal committees would be known
and Constitute Il handicap in the
race, which would afford IL fine opel.

show a readiness to help a democrat
ic executive put through his plans.
That is why it is decidedly the
practical thing for the republican
party to hold a special national con-
vention and so revise its rules as to
recognize state primaries for the Sc
lection of delegates and to base its
convention membership upon party
membership and to take away from
the national committee the power TO
change the complexion of the con
vention.
And, even If 1t were not the prac-
teal thing to do, the republican party
has a moral obligation to recognize.
1t has It's own record to consider. 1t
shout dtake to itself the credit of
recognizing the popular will in choos-
ing presidential candidates, for the
reason that the party membership
is overwhelmingly in favor of 1t. The
party owes that much to itself.

WANT PAY
FOR BLACK HILLS
BILL SOON Will LBE INTRODUCE
ED IN CONGRESS- TO GIVE
THEM DUE COMPENSA.
TlON.

Pierre, S. D.--For several years
leaders among the Sioux Indians
have been shaping matters toward
making a formel claim against the
government for payment for the
Black Hills which they claim were
taken from them at tht time of the
gold discovery in 1876, and for which
they were never compensated. The
movement has gone to a point where
a bill is being shaped up to be pre-
sented to congress at the present ses-
sion providing for such compensation.
About twenty thousand Indians were
interested in the outcome of such a
suit, and at a late meeting held at
Standing Rock it was decided to as
sess each Indian ten cents a head for
the preliminary work, with further
assessments a. needed. The last meet
ing is expected to soon be held on the
Cheyenne river reservation, in the
Fox river section. either at Laplant or
Eagle Butte, at which a delegation
will be selected to go to Washington
and look after progress of the bill
which they will introduce, and to Sc
such legal aid as they may re-
uuire.
