Delegates Are Loyal.

After the Shafroth debate. there were
newspaper rumors that the minority
would bolt the convention and the Ma
tional Association. These rumors ap-
parently grew wholly out OF the fact
Of the departure of Mrs. Blatch and
Mrs. Weed the night after the vote was
taken. Instead of a bolt. what happened
next day was the unanimous adoption or
resolution offered by Miss Laura Clay.
Of Kentucky, TO the effect that the Con-
gressionaI committee be instructed to in

This was a measure TO which Mrs. Nc

glad to work for, and the resolution as
presented to the convention was signed
by Miss Clay. Mrs. Mccormick. Mrs.

Every Man Should

Cedar Rapids Republican: We once
knew of a young man who actually
saved 5000 one year. But he did not
drink, nor. smoke much, and he did
not pay a dollar for a chance to dance
the tangothe tango had not been
invented, thank heaven for his sake.
He took that 5000 and bought a lot
we believe it was a $3.50 lot. He
paid the balance, $3.50, the next year
and had the lot paid for. He held it
a year or so and sold 1t for about $780,
and then. he said he began to feel
like capitalist We have lost track
of him, but one of his friends told us,
some time ago, that that boy had a
home. several babies and was worth
$4,000. He had kept up saving and
investing It may have taken him
fifteen or twenty years, for he had

Couple Of Local Artists
Rolf Man for $40

Frank McAleer and Fred Middleton,
two young men of the city were ar.
rested the other day charged with
robbing a man by the name Of Martin
johnson of S4O4in cash.
Johnson says he was intoxicated
and that the young men enticed him
into the old barn back of Fred Cooks
harness shop on north Maple street
and touched" him for his roll. He
claims the boys did not use violence
in obtaining the money but simply
picked his wallet out of his pocket
aid relieved it Of its contents and
replaced it where they found it.
Both Middleton and McAleef were
arrested the same night. 1t is un-
derstood that Middleton turned states
evidence and was given his liberty on
bail, but young McAleer hung tough"
and was bound over to the next term
OF the circuit court. @
It is said that young Middleton has
been out of work for some time and
that his young wife is in delicate
condition which probably prompted
him to commit this rash act. He
has always been known as the best
one of the Middleton boys and his
friends were shocked to learn of his
getting into this trouble.

South Dakota is the most favored

before the students in Brookings MOI

that the assertion is correct. Ii Ii
lone thing to make an assertion like
that, and it is quite another thing to
prove it. Doane Robinson assured
his hearers that he has always been
very conservative in every statement
he has ever made and that no one
must think the above statement de.
parture from the usual caution and
trufhfnlness found in his declara-
tions. OF course he was speaking to
South Dakotans, and they cheered his
statement heartily. Then the distin-
guished speaker went into his sub
5ect Which was the Missouri river,
and showed every hearer why the as
sertion should be eheered.
Doane Robinson showed himself a
brave man when he attacked the Mis-
souri, river with the purpose of re-
strafning, conserving and utilizing IT..
What he intends to do with this river
made some of his hearers fairly gasp.
He is familiar with every foot of the
river, knows where all the deep holes
treacherous currents, sandbars, and
1arrow channels are, and he knows
90 what can be done with ii. The
