Women Not DISCOURAGED

The women of South Dakota will
not cease their efforts to secure suf-
frage until the victory is won. AL
though the measure was defeated
again this last election, the returns
show a large gain over any pre- Jious
year when the question has been
voted on.
The South Dakata Equal Fran
chise League will enter the next
campaign with the same enthusiasm
and much more experience than
they had when they began the one
just passed.
The women of Hand County wish
to thank every man whose vote
helped to sV ell the majority for suf-
frage. We are proud of our county
and the fact that we are back.o by
a majority of its voters gives us
courage, and faith to believe that
we shall win in the state next time.

GERMAN CRUISER
EMCEN SUNK
Terror of Seas Meets Fate at
Hands of Austrian Warship

London, Nov, 10.-The German
cruiser, Emden, the terror to British
shipping, has been destroyed by the
Austrian ~battleship, Sydney, the ad-
miralty announced this afternoon.
The Emden was driven ashore on
the Cocos Islands, and was burned
to the waters edge.
The Emden has contributed to the
history of the war one of the most
remarkable chapters. For sheer
audacity and success it has few par
allels, certainly none since TIE Ala,
bama, the famous old Federal war
ship roamed the sea. Twenty ships,
mostl, British, have been sunk, and
one captured by the German cruiser.
So far as is disclosed by the Off
cial statements the situation in the
war theatres, both east and west,
remains virtually unchanged.
In Belgium and Northern France
the allies and the Germans apparent

Austrians in front OF them,
England's attitude and determin-
alton to continue the bitter struggle
until all the demands of the allies
are satisfied were strongly set forth
by Premier Asquith at the lord

premier made the declaration that
Great Britain would not sheath the
sword until Prussian military dom
ination was destroyed and he furth-
er announced that Turkey, by her
entrance into the strugg lie, had dug
her grave and committed suicide.

The national democrats are much

courage. The recent election re-
suits have caused a serious tremor

democratic spine. The big demo
cratic majority in the House was re.

cratic governors of New York and
Ohio, especially endorsed" by
President Wilson. were defeated. II

The Cattle

The quarantine against the foot
and mouth disease now extends oyer
twelve states, including Michigan,
Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Delaware. The origin of the
present epidemic was Michigan and
while the disease has been discover
ed in a number of states the prompt
action of the federal authorities in
placing these states under quaran-
tine and the killing of animals as
soon as the disease is discovered will
no doubt stamp out the epidemic.
The death toll in not large, the
greatest toll beng in the Chicago
yards, where cattle were killed as a
preventive measure.
Prices of meat have not generally
raised, and no meat shortage is ex-
pected.
On account of the quarantine there
is no cattle market at Chicago or
Sioux City,
LATER-A general quarantine
was today extended over South Da-
kota stopping the importation OF
cattle for a time as a preventive
against the entrance of the disease
into the state.

ton musical comedy. Alma Where
Do You-Live?" with many of the
original New York Company,
The play is described as a French
vaudeville, which is the only des-
cription phrase which Mr. Weber
could hit upon, as 1T is a musical
comedy. a farce with music and a
comic opera all combined. 1t has
all the characteristics and popular
features of all of these. In adapt
ing the farce and in composing the
fourteen lyrics, Mr. Hobart has elm
mated all the Objectionable features
Of the play. retaining only enough
of the story to build the series of
farcical complications which gave
the piece its vogue in a run of near
ly three seasons in Mr. Weber's
Theatre in New York. Alma is a
fascinating milliner, who lures an
unsophisticated younp man to pro
pose to her in order to make him
lose a fortune of four million francs

provision that he does not make
