BEST THEATRE.

"The Making of Bobby Burnit," to appear at the Best theatre today, forms one of the prettiest of moving picture stories.
 Bobby Burnt, by his fathers will. jnherits three hundred thousand dol lars, which the will stipulates he must invest. Having had no business eX- perience Bobby is at a loss how to proceed until his sweetheart, Agnes Elliston, persuades him to take over the John Burnit stores. Sam Stone, a schemer and dishonest promoter, learns of Bobby's inheritance and through the conivance of Bobby's law yer, sells him the Bright Light power plant. Silas Trimmer, owner of the Trimmer stores, has long cherished a desire to gain control of the Burnit stores and induces Bobby to consoli- date the two corporations. Immedi- ately the consolidation occurs, Trim mer issues new stock and gains con trol of the enterprise. Bill Bates, an old pal of Bobby's overhear's Stones plan to wreck the Bright Light and only by taking matters in his own hands is he able to frustrate Stone. Stone and Trimmer combine to rob Bobby, but Johnston. trusted clerk of Robby's father. secures the aid of the Daily Bulletin and the following day the Bulletin prints a story of the doings of the two crooks. Bobby plans with Biff Bates to pick quar- rel with Trimmer's son. Biff pre- tends to be fatally injured and the younger Trimmer sells his stock to Bobby to prevent bis being exposed as the murderer of Bates. Agnes ov- erhears a plot between Stone and the men and warns Bobby. Bobby res cues Agnes, secures control of the stores, causes the arrest of the bribed politicians. Agnes then delivers a letter to Bobby, written by his father,

One of Their Important Fsa-
 lures Is Accessibility.
RECREATION FOR MASSES.
Every City Should Have at Least One Park Witkin Easy Walking Distance of a Considerable Part of Its Popu. Iation.
By FRANK HOLSTER,

Author ot Modern City Planning and
 Maintenance"
 One of the most important features of a park system is accessibility The greatest attention should be paid to so arranging the parks and transporta- tion lines that the public may be pro- vided with quick. cheap and convenient means of getting to the parks. for otherwise they lose the greater part of their usefulness.
 Every city should have at feast one large park within easy walking dis tance of considerable part of it's population. and it's other parks should be within easy reach by surface or other lines of transportation at q single fare. River and island parks should be reached by bridges or by boats operated by the city.
 In character. the parks of city should be varied. those of small size, surrounded by buildings of nrchitec tural interest. of more formal character, that is. laid out on regular plan. with walks. terraces. avenues. lakes. foun. tains. flower beds. statuary. ornamental electroliers and other features of d similar sort. than those situated in more distant portions of the city.

ORPHEO TODAY,

Francis X. Bushman, most popular of all players, has very fine role in the two-reel Essanay drama Sears of Possession" dramatic subject that gives full chance for the splendid abilities of this sterling actor This is one of the most beautiful and touching love dramas ever presented. It deals with the sudden loss of wealth and luxury by Payne For sythe, who, when his money is gone, becomes tramp. How he gives his life's blood to save a beautiful young girl from death and the romance that grows from that is told in a most charming manner in this fine photo play feature.
 Kathlyn Williams and Charles Clary have the leading roles in "Her Sacri- flee" a strong Selig photodrama that is most excellently acted by these two most popular players.

latter should preferably be of a more rural character. primeval and undis- turbed in general effect.
 The main park of the city may par take of both these characteristics, DOT tons being adapted for enc purpose and portions for another.
 Appealing to q large class of users, 1t should therefore contain number of features calculated to make it an interesting place of recreation for the people.
 The entrances to such park may be of monumental character and there may be ill it Il central mall, laid out in formal manner and tlanked with statues. Promenades and walks. large flower beds. botanical gardens. zooiogicai gardens. lakes, with aquatic birds, facilities for rowing in summer and for skating in winter; artificial geysers, small streams and rivers with paths, music stands. summer houses, shelter houses. drinking fountains. re- freShment stands, concert pavlliOnS. tennis and crOQuet grounds. wading pools for children. playgrounds with swings. carrousels and the like. sun dials. ornamental bridges. free sing ing birds. squirrels and other small animals, driveways. bridle paths. res ervoirs, observation towers, dccOra tive kiosks and other features all go to make such park attractive to visitors of all classes.
 An additional feature. which is very popular abroad. particularly in Ger many and Austria. and which could be introduced by American cities in their parks, though until Its advan- tages became familiar it would prob ably excite some opposition. is that ot concerts to which an admission is charged.
 Such concerts are given by orches- tras of the finest musicians and are held in hedged inclosures. The ad- mission fees serve to pay large part Of the expenses of the park. and also to exclude the rougher element of park visitors,
 Another feature of the continental park system which is of the greatest usefulness and which undoubtedly adds to the healthfulness of the public by making the parks and excursion grounds more attractive is that of hay ing on sale. wherever the demand may exist. adequate supplies of good food at prices to suit the pocketbooks of all.
 The city should erect the necessary buildings. plan the parks and grounds accordingly and lease the privileges to competent restaurateurs. Such build ings are also, of use in the winter as we'll as in the summer. when skating and sieighing may be enjoyed and res taurants and concerts patronized as well.

ANOTHER DOWNpOuR ON sAyyJR.
DAY EVENING COVERS MUCH
TERRITORY.

Another drenching of rain fell
over South Dakota again on Satur-
day night. covering the entire state
and leaving theg round in splendid
condition for the spring crops. Fol-
lowing the rain, the skies opened
bright and clear this morning.
The western part of the state, west
OF the Missouri river, was treated to
heavier rains than in the eastern
portion. Reports from the Black
Hills and in the range country indi-
cated that the rain had started Satur-
day evening and came down without
cessation until Sunday noon.
Al the Milwaukee offices today, the
reports indicated that westSof the
river the rainfall varied from one TO
two inches in depth. Along the Iowa
and Dakota division, there had been
rain on Saturday night from apid
City to Sanborn. Ia. The rain was
steady during the night, with occas-
ion gusts of very heavy showers. No
damage was reoDrted.

PROPOSED LAW
ADMITS MOOSE
PRIMARY
PRIMARY ACr sSBMiTTED FOR
VOTE NEXT NOVEMBER WOULD
ALLOW THIRD PARTY TO
GET PLACE ON BALLOT.

Pierre, S. D.-As the policy of the
primary election is to be one of the
features OF the season campaign in
South dakota, those interested in this
doctrine are beginning to get bnsy
either in support of the present policy
known as the Richards act, or of the
substitute proposed in the new act
which was initiated by the democrats
at the last legislative session. These
two acts are radically different in
their workings, but the new act leay-
es out the party registration feature.
which is one of the leading parts of
the present one.
But the discussion is not apparent
ly 10 be confined to merely these two
propositions, several .others being in
process OF incubation, one already
getting into the open, which attempts
to slide between the oud caucus sys-
TEN and the primary idea. It's author
is j. NJ. Miles of Redfield, and his
plan in summary is tina. on a specific
date the voters shall meet in their
various precincts, and vote by ballot
on their choice for a list of delegates
TO a county convention, the votes to
be cast in a ballot hox and %canyassed
as any other election. The delegates
so selected meet atthe county seat of
their various counties on a set date,
at (which meeting ballot boxes with
judges and clerks in charge are to
be provided, in which boxes the dele
gates shall by secret ballot select
their candidates for county official
places, and a list OF delegates to the
to the state convention, which is to
meet at the state'capital On q fixed
date, at which ballot boxes are to be
provided and ballots received for the
whole of that day for the selection of
state official party candidates. This
the author claims would eliminate a
| great deal of the objections to the
present primary act, and would sim
| plify action of ali parties in selecting
! candidates, and yet would, through
the ballot box system give every dele
gate an opportunity to voice his OPP
inion without any possibility of a
charge of pressure or Influence.
One feature of the proposed Bull
Moose" movement which will have
to be considered, is their tanner of
getting a showing. They did not get in
under the proposed features of the
primary law, and the general law
provides only for independent candi-
dates outside the regular party nom
nations. Just how they will locate
themselves Is the open question. The
only act which aver has attempted to
authorize a new party organization in
this state since early days of state
hood. is the new primary act, which
will have to be voted for at the No
VemheT election. this oiyinp any Marty
Il legal standing either through a vote
of ten per cent ofSthe total number
cast for governor at the last proceed
ling election, or by petition of ten per
cent of the voters of the state.

Some time ago, the Milwaukee
railway company put in a siding at q
point between Tyndall and Spring
field in Bon Homme county giving
.the siding the name of kingsberg.
The towns which might be affected
by a business location springing up
at this point made a protest against
the action OF the road in putting in
this new siding, but the work went
on regardless Of the protest. Now
that a few business houses have been
built at this point, the residents are
petitioning the railway commission
to compel the railway company to
give them a depot and an agent, to
meet their requirements as a trading
point.
