NECESSARY TO USE
A MAGNIFYfNG GLASS
1t is anticipated that several days will
be required in which to check up the peti-
tions of Wood and Allen. The clerks,
equipped with magnifying glasses city
directories. telephone directories, index
cards and other convenienees worked on
Woods petition for several hours yester-
day. Many of the names were ilegible
to the naked eye, and for that reason,
the magnifying glass was employed.
The object Of the clerks Is TO ascertain
whether or not In all the names attached
to the petitions, 800 registered voters are
included They will not be able to state
bow many illegal voters have signed the
petitions unless it should happen that
the number Of legal voters was less than

ed, the list is marked 20. k" and the
work is pronounced finished. On the
petition of Mr. Ward, the only one COM

WILL BUILD CREAMERY

A sufficient number Of enterprising
business men are behind the Com
mercial club in its effort to build q
creamery in Pierre. The creamery
will be located just east Of the Steam
Laundry, across Pierre street. Mod
ern machinery will be installed and
the plant is to be up-to.date in every
respect. The dairy business in the
central and western portions of the
state is fast becoming the most i'm
| portant industry among farmers and
ranchmen, and while thousands of
cans of cream are shipped to the pro-
duce markets to the east of US every
week from stations along the North
Western, many clippers appear to be
dissatisfied with the prices they have
received for cream. and as q conse-
quence shippers in the vicinity OF
Pierre, have induced business men to
make the butter for shipment rather
than ship the cream.
We hear that F. j. McCalmont is to
conduct the business of the new inn
provement. He is a good business
man and has had some experience in
the making of butter. Possessing
business push to run the government
of a state, we are confident that the
institution will be a success from the
very beginng.

FULFILLED EXPECTATIONS

f.Lrt
Huron Huronite: Some amaze
ment has been expressed the Senator
LaFollette, q republican. should have
cast his vote for the democratic
tariff bill. Some Of those who are
amazed are disposed to argue thathis
vote was his notification that he is no
longer q republican. Two democra-
tic senators voted against the bill.
Yet 1t is not even suggested that they
are no longer democrats.
An extreme high protective tariff is
the demand of the reactionary ele-
ment in congress and the progressive
Mr.. LaFollete is not at all in sym
pathy with the excuses of that ele-
ment. He voted against the Payne
Aldrich tariff and was entirely con-
sistent in voting for the repeal of
that law.
The progressive element of the re-
publican party, outside of congress,
is with him in his position against
the tariff his vote helped destroy and
as republicans they will stand by
him, even to the extent of e~leyating
him to the presidency.

to a little politics themselves, a much
talked of possibility being the candi-
dacy of r. E. Dowdell of Artesian,
for the United States senate. It has
been generally understood that Mr..
Dowdell will run for congress from
the first district of the state. and he
was considered q certainty. Now,
however, his friends seem anxious to
send him to the senate. Mr.. Dowdell
refused to say anything either way
when asked as to the truth of the re-
port.
1t was also decided by the demo-
Gratis here that a two day mass meet
ing of members of the party would
be called at the corn palace, the dates
to be announced later.

BULL MOOSE GET TOGETHER

Yesterday, shortly after the arrival
of Coe I. Crawford from the east,
Governor Byrne caused the announce
ment to go out to those OF the bull
moose political faith that in some
dark recess in the city, where no
stalwart or nasty democrat would be
permitted to enter, the simon pure
bull moose would assemble, make
and unmake men, fix the political
destinies of the moose faithful, and
choose for the people an entire state
ticket.
Early in the evening those who
cling to the frosted faith might have
been seen going in the direction of an
office room, and by $50 about thirty
had assembled there.
But few minutes was given oyer to
discussion of candidates for posi-
tions on the bull moose ticket. The
machine support was pledged to Coe
i. Crawford for United States sena-
tor; to +. NJ. Byrne for governor; to
John b. Hanton for lieutenant gov
ernor; to Royal G. johnson for mem
Der in congress from the second dis
trict. It was urged that no fur
Their pledges be made until March 10,
for the reason that the several candi-
dates for each office might be led to
believe that each had the support Of
the machine, and one influential in
moose gatherings, had his way.

They Raised Their Heads as If to Bid
Adieu to Africa,

In his book "Africa of Today Joseph
King Goodrich tells Of the shipment
Of a number of mummies from the
banks of the Nile to various museums.
"They were put on board a lighter in
the river" he says, land arranged side
by side. AS the boat was moving
away from the bank many of the mum
mics seemed to come back to life.
Certainly they moved and the heads
seemed to rise as If the bodies were
turning SO that their eyes might take
a last look at the place where these
old kings and queens had lain in peace
for W two thousand years.
"The effect upon the boatmen was
most panicky, and even the unsuper-
%stitious foreigner felt as If something
uncanny were occurring.
"The explanation is absurdly simple.
The heat of the sun had caused the
expansion Of certain parts, but it was
never a satisfactory explanation to
those Nile boatmen, who were for a
long time loath to handle mummies
as cargo"
