Wilmot Loses School Building by Fire

While we were at Wilmot
Thursday evening of last week
with a party Of friends from Big
Stone City, the good people of
the town did everything possible
to make the occasion memoir
able one, going even so far as to
start fireworks celebration and
burning down their public
school building. The night hap
pened 10 be without wind and
this probably saved the town
from a more extensive. confiag !.
ration. The loss Of building and
contents probably amounted to
$4,000, with an insurance of
$4,000. The Wilmot people are
planning to erect a much larger
brick building to take the place
of the one destroyed.

for short responses from Thad
L Fuller and w. w. Downie the
former presenting the church
case from the stand point of the
lawyer, and the latter from that
of the newspaper man, after
which Bishop Biller, the honor
guest of the occasion, made a
brief but convincing presenta-
ton of the claims of the church
upon the men of the com munity
who are attempting to build up
city, the obligation they were
under to society to promote its
best welfare and the fact that
by putting into the church not
alone their money, but right
full proportion of their time,
their sympathyand their energy
they would be more than repaid
in moral anc spiritual returns.
The occasion was an altogether
informal affair and was greatly
enjoyed by all Rev. Siegfreidt
has half a dozen other points in
connection with the Milbank
parish where he is conducting
services, and is making COM
mendable success in his field OF
work, and was commended by
the bishop for his earnest and
successful labors. In connection
VIII. his work in Mllbank he is
organizing mems club for the
study of church history, and ex-
tends a cordial invitation to all
interested to enroll as members.

CHARLES H. BURKE
Republican Candidate for United
States Senator. The Homestead
Maker Of south Dakota.

StUtOO O009tOFs Ne nOM6SteoQ
Maker Of south Dakota.
The greatness and the wealth
Of South Dakota and the large
increase of it's homes is largely
due to this tireless worker, who
has served the people of South
Dakota for seven terms in Con.
gress. While O her officials and
citizens have done their part this
man is recognized in Washington
as one whose word cannot be
questioned regarding right or
justice on Indian land ques.
tions and homesteaders' trou-
bles. The opening of the Sioux
reservations and the Rosebud
country, in particular, and the
subsequent modification of rules
regarding proofs are achieve
ments that Mr.. Burke is entitled
to great credit for. No man
ever represented any people in
the congress of this country
more satisfactorily than has Mr..
Burke. Every section of the
state and every interest has re-
ceived his untiring and telling
attention. His standing in Con-
gress is such that at the present
time he is the republican whip
in the lower house. and was the
unanimous choice of republican
congressman for chairman of the
republican national congressio n
al committee, but he declined
the honor. This standing is the
higest guarantee that the people
of any state can have as to ability
of member in the houses of
congress. The people of South
Dakota need the continued SER
vice of this valuable worker in
order to continue the develop
ment of our public lands, the re-
clamation of unsettled lands, and
the development of our great
waterway that borders the SO
called homestead country, and to
secure to the state its just trecog.
milton in The building of national
highways which is now admitted
ly soon to come. Mr. Burke in
all his terms in congress has
been constantly on the job. No
fault has ever been found with
his work and his acquaintance
and the high esteem in which he
is held by the leaders Of all po-
litical parties, and the officials
who preside over public depart
ments, makes his election one of
the paramount needs of this state
in order to insure it's continued
advancement and prosperity.
Without detracting from the
merit or ability of any other citi-
zen in the state, Charley Burke
is the one man whom the people
should vote for this year. It
means much for the state, it
means more to you. Do your
part toward securing the best
man for the place, and put a
cross in the square before the
name of Charles H. Burke for
United States senator on the re-
publican ballot in the primary,
March "a. Remember there are
but few men out of nearly one
hundred million people who are
Unitad States senator's. The
man who has the standing at
Washington in this great body is
the man who can do the most for
South Dakota. Every settler
from the Missouri river to the
Wyoming line is vitality inter.
ested in sending Mr.. Burke,
the homesteaders' friend and
worker, to the United Safes SEN
ate.-CaDital Journal.
