POLITICAL MEETINGS
SMALL AUDIENCES GATHER TO
HEAR TWO CANDIDATES FOR
GOVERNOR DISCUSS ISSUES.

The political meetings in Madison
last evening failed to attract audi
ences. j. w. McCarter, democratic
nominee for governor, addressed a.
small audience of the faithful at the
court house, adjourning in time to
allow them to take in a portion of
the Dick" Richards meeting at Hex
ON hall. Mr.. McCarter is a pleasant
speaker and discussed democratic
principles on the old familiar plane,
with the advantage perhaps of being
reinforced by the Wilson administra-
tion which in many respects, is giving
almost universal satisfaction. Dis
cussing at the depot this morning
the political situation in the state,
Mr.. McCarter stated that apathy pre-
walls everywhere. His meetings have
been small in attendance, and he
finds this also to be the case with
other candidates who are making
speaking campaigns. Mr.. McCarter
departed for Sioux Falls and will
spend several days in Minnehaha
county.
The Richards meeting at Hexom
hall opened with an audience of
twenty-one, by actual count, but this
number was increased by a dozen or
more at the close of the democratic
meeting. Richards devoted his time
to a discussion of my taxation sys-
tenn" coddling the System" with
much affection. MY system" in eff
| feet is the taxation of real estate and
| incomes and the exemption of per-
sonal property. Herein is where the
farmer, the principal real estate own
| er, would ONE in for the burden of
taxation as the u shines on his
property every day, while the income
| proposition is somewhat elusive in
| the light. Mr.. Richards juggled the
taxing figures of the state in an effort
to show extravaganza on the part of
the existing republican administra-
ton, but his illustrations were some
what difficult to comprehend on ac-
count of the voluminous array of fig
ures which he shot out offhand.
The Daily Leader was pleased to
receive a social call from Mr.. Rich
ards this morning, and his genial
manner accounts for his ability Il
gain votes, and which has establish.
ed his reputation of being an uncer.
tain quantity in any political cam.

BURN THE VINES
How to Relieve Damage by Beetles
to Garden Vines.

Brookings, Oct. 8.-Did the striped
cucumber beetle damage your cucum-
Der, squash and melon vines this
year? If so, now is the time to take
precautions against the return of
this destructive pest next spring. If
the crop has been gathered from the
vines, the latter, together with all
refuse, should be gathered and burn
ed. This not only removes the food
of the beetles and forces them to seek
other localities, but it also does away
with convenient alternating quarters.
There Is but one brood of striped
cucumber beetles per year. Maturing
in the fall, the insect hibernates over
winter under rubbish or other pro-
lection and energies early in the
spring ready to attack cucumber,
melon or squash plants as soon as
the latter make their appearance
above ground. The beetles soon pair
and then the female begins to deposit
her eggs in crevices near the plant,
upon which she has been feeding
These eggs hatch into slender white
grubs, which after feeding about a
month pass into a rest state or pupa.
The pupa in about two weeks il
transformed into a mature beetle,
These beetles are the specimens seer
in the fall and ii is then that they
go into Internationally HI. G.. Sew

SAGACIOUS CARRIE
Homeburg Telephone Operator
Knows All That Is Going On.

In the American Magazine George.
Fitch, the Illinois humorist, writes of
THE Homeburg telephone exchange"
i'm which he describes the telephone
in a small village. In the following
extract he explains why Carrie, the
telephone operator, knows more than
anyone else in town:
When my wife wants to know If
hats are being worn at an afternoon
reception she calls Carrie. Ten to
one Carrie has caught a scrap of con-
~versation over the line and knows.
But If she hasn't, she will call up and
find out. When a doctor leaves his
office to make a call he calls up Car
rie, and she faithfully pursues him
through town and country all day, if
necessary. When we are preparing
for a journey we do not go down to
the depot until we have called up
Carrie and have found out If the train
is on time. And when our babies
wander away we no longer run fran
| tically up and down the street hunt

~vertise for a lost child seven hands

Carrie knows. Providing into our
lines while we are talking, as she
does, in search of connections to take

to turn Homeburg into a hotbed OF

But she doesn't. Carrie keeps al

women can't. She knows what Mrs

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS COM
PILED BY THE ASSOCIAT-

New York, Oct. Special: That
the battle between the allies and the
Germans to the north of the River
Disc is growing more and more vio-
lent is the only statement that has
been permitted to winnow through
the sieve of official secrecy concern
ing the conditions prevailing on that
part of the long battle line in France
upon which the eyes of the world are
focused. The report of the French
war office makes no mention of
whether progress is being made by
either side in this zone where for
days the armies have been battling
desperately for supremacy.
The statement is made that the al
lies have gained a little ground on
the northern heights of the Mouse.
On the center of the battle line com
parative calm prevails.
No mention was made in the state
ment concerning the strong forces oil
German cavalry previously reported
to be operating in the department o.
Nord, nor was anything said of the
situation at Antwerp, against which
the Germans are operating. A news
agency dispatch said, however, thai
the military governor of Antwerp haC
reported to the burgomaster of Ant
werp that a bombardment of the citl
was imminent.
Both Germany and Russia continu'
to report successes in Galicia, thu.
leaving the situation in the sphere o
warfare in doubt.
The French as an. offset to pre-
vious similar action on the part o
the Austrians have placed mines ii

REV. CHRISTIAN WILL
NOT GO TO OKLAHOMA

Rev. o. P. Christian. organizer and
manager of the Children's Home Find
ing society is to remain in Idaho. The
board of directors of the home at it's
session yesterday afternoon refused to
accept the resignation OF Rev Chris
tian, who asked to be released that he
might accept a similar position in Ok
lahoma to organize society there. He
was recommended for the place by the
national board, who urged him to go to
oklahoma at much advanced salary
and offered to furnish man to take his
place in Idaho. Rev. Christian had
made up his mind that It was his duty
to go to the new field and had expected
he would be released but finding the
board unanimously in favor of keeping
him here, he has consented to remain.
The board voted unanimously to OBJ
serve July 20 as the sixth anniversary
of the opening Of the home and a fine
program will be given there. The
home will be open to the public from
2:30 to p. m. An invitation is to be
extended to each girl who has been
placed by the home since its opening
to send in a cake for the occasion.

changes may also be made in the de-
partment, but Just what the lineup
is no one seems to know. There is an
intimat'on that the force may be some
what reduced.
There is considerable speculation
about the city today as to who WIZ be
appointed to succeed Chief Reeves.
Mayor Hodges stated that he has NOT
had tine to fully consider the matter
as the action of the council yesterday
came Unexpectedly but that he pro-
posed to look about for a new man for
the Job. There Is some likelihood that
only one detective will be appointed
and that the city will operate for
time at least with but one man acting
in that capacity. If the program works
out all right but one plain clothes man
will be used in the futu$re.

story on the fact that the murder was
in front of Body's door; that the club
with which McClurkin was killed came
from a wood pile in Body's yard; that
the murderer had taken pains to drag
the body away from Body's door; that
Pope had no one-horse wagon, while
Body had a wagon which exactly cor

a negro witness to describe his own
conduct and actions as proof that Pope
was guilty. The supreme court held
that this was an unfair and improper
way to proceed against the accused and

peal was granted on the ground that
