1000 AT
CONKLIN FUNERAL
NUMBER OF PROMINENT MEN
PAY THEIR RESPECTS TO THE
LATE VETERAN AND
SOLDIER

Clark, S. Done of the largest
funerals ever held in South Dakota
was that at Clark, yesterday, where
several state officials and prominent
men from all over the state gathered
to pay their last respects to General
Sylvester j. Conklin.
The remains were escorted to the
Methodist church by the 4th regi-
ment band and all the officers of the
South Dakota National Guard, as
we'll as Clark Lodge No. AZ A. II. and
A. M. which had charge of the fun
eral, Past w. M, j. e. Plat, acting
as marshal.
The funeral Grafton was delivered
by Rev. G. w. Butterfield, pastor of
the church to which the deceased b.
longed, assisted by Rev. Jenny of
Yankton, a comrade of the general in
the civil war. The Eastern Star, L. o.
q. r., G. A. II. and several other og-
CARNATIONS were present in their or
der, as we'll as nearly 1000 people
who were not affiliated with any
body.
The 4th regiment band, the Ma

NOT TEST
TEXAS CATTLE
ATToNEY GENERAL HOLDS THEY
ARE NOT REQUIRED TO PASS
TUBERCULIN TEST BEFORE
ENTERING STATE.

% Pierre, S. D.-The state legal de-
'partment gave out an opinion today
in regard to live stock inspection,
which is of especial interest to cattle
shippers bringing or sending live
stock into this state. The state live
stock law requires the tuberculin test
for COWS and heifers brought into the
state for dairy purposes, and for
pure bred cattle brought into the
state for breeding purposes, unless
the shipment is accompanied by the
proper certificates from the point of
shipment. Under this law. the state
live stock department has been re-
curing tuberculin tests on shipments
of young cows and heifers brought in
from Texas, holding up several ship
ments until the inspection could be
made. before allowing them to be
distributed. In the opinion this norm
ing it is held that the law will not
require tuberculin test Of these ship
ments of Texas heifers, as while they
are being brought on for breeding
purposes, they are not pure bred"
cattle, which eXempts them from
tuberculin test provisions.

CAMPAIGN is
MARKING TIME
REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION Is
TO DO NOTHING TILL AUG.
UST.-LOUCi,S MAY LEAD
THE Mu0SERS.

Pierre, S. D.-Outside the patron-
age tangles of the democrats in their
locations for places and the posi-
bilities of the Bull Moose movement
at their Huron meeting next month,
the political situation in this state
just now is not exceedingly active.
The republican political organization
is merely keeping things in hand and
smoothing down the roughness along
the edges which appears as more or
less irritating Immediately following
the primary, and will lot take any
active part in the situation until
along about August when the cam
paign will be shaped up for the final
result in November. Fhe demo-
cratic organization is at about the
same position save for the local or
%ganization forming democratic clubs
at different points in the state, q few
of the faithful the past week organ
izing a "McCarter Club" at this city
to work up the necessary enthusiasm
for the coming campaign.
In the activity of the Bull Moose
the only question appears to be
which faction of that organization
will hold control at Huron. The one
which wants to put a state ticket, or
the n which wants TO let the state
situation alone and put up only con-
gressional and senatorial candidates.
Whichever leads, the indications at
present are that H. l.. Loucks is worry
likely to be their candidate for Unit
ed States senate against Charles II.
Burke as the republican nominee, and
Ed. S. Johnson as the democrat.
Loucks personally expressed satisfac-
ton at the nomination of Burke by
the republicans as "the easiest man
to beat and his pleasure that Burke
was to be his opponent, and so long
as he intends to stay in the race the
logic of the argument of many of the
Bull Moose followers is that they had
better take Loucks than to further
divide the vote with another candi-
date" What they will do on gov
ernor If they make such a selection
is a matter of expediency. Some of
them want to secure r. o. Richards
as their candidate if he will accept.
Others want a new man, with Hans
Ustrud willing to get into the game if
they will let him. Anything else in
the way of a ticket is an omen promo
sition.
The equal suffrage forces are get
ting things, lined up, and express a
belief. that they will win this time.
They went down under the vote no"i
campaign of four years ago, but this
time the interests which pushed the
vote no" slogan at that election have
toe many irons of their own in the
lire to attempt such a campaign, and
are likely to keep out of such al
game.

LOCAL CAMPAIGN
IS VERY QUIET

It is generally conceded that this is
one OF the quietest campaigns ever
held in Elko county. With the excep-
ton of rallies held. by state candi-
dates there has been almost nothing
ioing. County candidates are making
quiet canvass of the county and so
far nothing of a startling nature has
been developed. Although it has been
customary in the past for local aspir-
ants to hold meetings in the largest
towns, such as Elko, Wells, Metrop-
oils, Carlin, etc, it is understood that
nothing of this nature will be attemp-
ted this campaign. The Corrupt Can
dates Act passed by the last legisla-
ture has a great deal of effect in cut
ting down public speeches.

Why the Republicans Of Nevada Have
Repudiated Candidacy of
Snrin0n,aua.

Z. E..
In an address made at Kansas City
last Thursday. Theodore Roosevelt
gave utterance to the following truth /:
There are certain matters which
should never be treated as party mat.
ters. and foremost. among these is the
great and vital virtue of honesty.
There is no greater foe of honesty
than the man who, for any reason, in
any capacity, attacks or seeks to at
tack, an honest man for crime
which he has not committed.
If Roosevelt. had come to Nevada
ne would undoubtedly have singled
out one man whom these words
should apply; a man who, masked in

Of an uplift movement has gone
throughout the state defaming his op-
ponent, uttering false statements.
scattering right and left his black
words of calumny
If Roosevelt had come to Nevada
2e' would have singled out George
Springmeyer, the repudiated candi-
late of the republican party for at
:orney general, as the one man above
Ill others in this State to whom
those burning words should apply.
Two years ago a man was wanted
rs Republican candidate for supreme
Judge. 1t was conceded by his own
party that the fight would be in the
nature of forlorn. hope, inasmuch
rs Judge Talbot the Democratic can
1idate, was man whose record was
clean and circle of friendship large
But man was found willing for his
party's sake to make that fight.
You Republicans of Nevada will re-
member the campaign. that was made
by Hugh Brown two years ago. From
border to border of this State he went
giving the best that was in him to his
party. He fought the good fight, and
he fought always as an honorable
man. Never an unkind word never
word of reproach did he utter
against his opponent Simply and di-
rectly, upon the broad platform of
Republicanism, he made his fight He
was defeated. But never was there
defeat that had more honor, more
OF credit in it, for when -Iugh Brown
went back to his little home in Tono-
pah and resumed his practice of the
law he carried with him the respect
and admiration of an entire state.
This year another campaign is on.
At the beginning when men were
specializing as to the possible candi-
dates, there was one name on the lips
of every republican in this State.
