A bad ACTOR
ONE A. III. BUTLER CHARGED
WITH LARCENY OF A SUIT
OF CLOTHES.

Sheriff Butts returned Saturday
evening from Sioux Falls, having in
custody one A. H. Butler whom he
incarcerated in the county jail to
await examination Wednesday on the
charge of stealing a suit of clothes
from r. f. Lyons of this city.
Butler was about the city two or
three days last week and made him
self somewhat conspicuous, posing as
a real sport and in some instances
representing himself as a white
hope" prize fighter. Thursday he
sneaked into Mr.. Lyons law office
in the Smith-Garner block during the
absence of Mr.. Lyons and observing
a suit of clothes and no n about
he could not resist the temptation to
take them unto himself. To dispose
of the stolen clothing without detec-
ton was a problem that Butler at
once began to work out land he vas
successful at least in getting the
stolen clothing put of town and get
ting out of town himself without be-
ing caught. Taking the stolen ar
ticles to Hackett & Sutton's store he
bought a new suitcase and packed
the clothes into it. He then proceed
ed to the express office with the suit
case and its contents and shipped
them to Sioux Falls. His conduct al
the store and also at the express of
fee was suspicious, and when Mr..
Lyons missed his clothes and report
ed the theft to the police they had lit
tie difficulty in tracing them. The
Sioux Falls police were notified OF
the circumstances and a watch was
set at the express office to nab the
thief when he called for the suitcase
But Butler had not lost his cunning
when he arrived at the large town
and telephoned the express office to
send the suitcase to a certain address
1t was an easy matter for the police
to follow the suitcase and capture
their man, which they did. Butler
denied all knowledge of the suitcase
but the circumstances surrounding
his connection with it were suffi
GENTLY strong to cause his arrest ano
return to this city.
Butler is a transient in Madison
and the police are of the opinion tina
when his record is looked up he will

ALFALFA CAMPAIGN
COMES TO AN END AT HAWAR-
DEN-SUCCESSFUL TOUR
or STATE.

Hawarden, Ia, June 29.-The Hol-
den alfalfa campaign came to an end
here Friday at loon. p. G. Holden
left for Aberdeen, where he will
spend several days before returning
to Chicago.
The campaigners had travelled
nearly $500 miles on the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul and the Chi
cago & Northwestern railways: they
had held over 500 meetings-most of
them on farms: they had travelled
over $4,000 miles in automobiles and
had spoken to thousands of farmers
over the entire eastern part of the
state. In extent and magnitude, this
campaign has surpassed any agricul-
tural campaign ever held in this part
of the northwest.
While it was an alfalfa campaign,
alfalfa was used simply as the me-
dunn of urging diversified farming.
In urging the farmer TO SOW alfalfa
on every farm the campaigners also
showed that it was just as important
to plant corn with alfalfa, for corn
and alfalfa together make the ideal
ration for live stock. These two
products also neeessitate silos-ac-
cording to Prof. Holden and the 9TH
er campaigners-and corn, alfalfa
and silos mean more dairy cattle and
beef cattle and more hogs and chick
ens-real none makers for the
farmer. Special stress was laid on
the methods of preventing and check
ing hog cholera. Prof. Holden had
| special charts made showing hat by
the prompt use of government in
| spected serums, the farmer can save
90 per cent of his hogs when cholera
invades his community. The cam
| paigners warned the people against
the use of the double treatment
virus and serum. They declared
that this was justified only when the
hogs of the entire community were
| stricken with cholera.
One of the striking features of the
| campaign was the use of the Holden
| charts, which had been prepared to
| suit agricultural conditions in South
Dakota. These charts made such an
impression that several of the lead
ing agricultural workers in the state
| have announced their intention of
| using them in their work in the
| future.
The campaign was different from
| any other ever held in this state in
the fact that the visitors went out to
the farms. In this way most of the
| farmers only had to take about two
hours from their work in order to
attend the meetings. Everywhere
the farmers expressed their satisfac-
ton over this plan.

TO WOMEN WHO oyERDo.

Thousands OF American women in
our homes are daily sacrificing their
lives to duty. In order to keep the
home neat and attractive, the chill
dren well dressed and tidy, women
overdo. Soon a weakness or displace-
ment is brought on and they suffer
in silence, drifting along from bad to
worse. For forty years Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
proved a boon and a blessing to WON
en- in this condition, by restoring
their systems to a normal healthy
condition. Why don't you try it?

SUNDAY AT THE LAKE
AN IMMENSE CROWD WAS WE'LL
ENTERTAINED AT THE LAKE
YESTERDAY.

The usual Sunday crowd was pres
ent at the assembly at Lake Madison
yesterday. Weather conditions were
superb and the people were well en-
tertained all day. Sale of single adj
mission tickets amounted to $3.50,
and hat accommodating place, the
cafeteria, counted up receipts during
the day to about the same amount.
The proceedings at the auditorium
comprised Sunday school at noon,
concert by the Chicago Male Quartet
at $50 and lecture by Charles f..
Russell at 3 p. m. The lecture made
a big hit and has been the talk to-
day of all who heard it. In the even
ing the Chicago Male Quartet gave
a concert occupying the entire even
ing. The quartet will give after
noon and evening concerts today,
closing their engagement this even
ing.
Tomorrow will be another big day
on account of the second and closing
lecture by Charles L. Russell. He
has so far won the ch%autauquans that
the auditorium will be crowded to it's
capacity tomorrow evening when he
appears on the platform. The Met
ropolitan Musical Club will arrive
tomorrow and give two concerts, aft
ernoon and evening.
In the meantime the regular chau-
tauqua routine proceeds, and there is
something doing every hour during
the day. However, it is not all work,
but the people at the lake, many of
whom are spending their summer va
cations there, indulge in healthful
recreation, such as boating, bathing,
fishing and sports on land, keeping
up a continual round of pleasure.
Conditions at the assembly have
modernized with the times, and
where in the early days the time was
devoted largely to study of the chau-
tauqua course and lectures, lighter
enjoyment is now demanded and pro-
vided, which is attractive to younger
people-and all others as well.
The assembly this year is strictly
up TO date. both in instruction and
entertainment, and the large crowds
at the lake every day and evening is
the best evidence that the public APP
| preciates the efforts of the manage
ment to please.

Gathering Statistics To Enable Them
To Work Understandingly.

Pierre, June 29.-The state tax
commission is busy getting things
shaped for the assessment and equal
ization work next month. They are
securing figures and statistics from
the various state departments which
will assist them in getting a more
accurate idea as to values of all
classes of property in the different
sections of the state, and will have
information to work with when they
meet, which never was to be had by
the old state board, which worked
only at the assessment returns, which
they switched as looked most equit-
able to them on the surface indica-
tons. The commission is doing more
preliminary work than the old board
ever did in all it's efforts to get a
complete showing.
