DRUG STOCK BURNED
Heavy Loss to the Kirk Phillip.
Estate.

Deadwood, July 27.-Twenty thou
sand dollars worth of drugs and
chemicals we're consumed in a fire
which destroyed two warehouses be-
longing to the estate of the late Kirk
G.. Phillips on Charles street in this
city. Among the contents of one of
the buildings was $4,000 worth of
cyanide of potassium and a supply
of sheet zinc, valued at the same
amount. The loss of these will in
terfere with the operations of several
of the cyanide mills, engaged in the
extraction of gold. The fire is sup
posed to have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion, sulphuric acid
leaking from a barrel of that chem
ical, of which there were ten in one
of the buildings, having come into
contact with other chemicals and gen.
Grating heat sufficient TO start a
blaze. The buildings and contents
were fully covered by insurance.

Two Boys at Plankinton Will Divide
q Prize OF $40.

Plankinton, July 27.-Plankinton
has just concluded a fly catching con-
test, the first prize for slaughtering
the most flies going to Tommy Hen
derson and Albert Bauer, two boys
who will divide the $40 prize between
them. The second prize of SIS was
awarded to a group of SWEATERS" of
which Dickey Clark was captain. The
total number of flies brought in by
small boys and girls during the con-
test is estimated at 1,257,200, and
there are a few flies left in Plankin-
ton yet, though it is nearly a fyless
town. Next year the city council will
be asked to make a small appropria-
ton to reward the fly swatters for
their efforts. When the campaign to
make Plankinton a fyless town was
first started, there were those who
were disposed to laugh at the idea of
trying to free the town from the pests
but soon practically every person In
town was an enthusiastic fly swatter.

MERIDIAN ROAD
AUTO PARTY TO SPEND THE
NIGHT IN MADISON, ENROUTE
TO WINNIPEG.

A. L. Westgard, vice president of
the National Highways association, d..
E. Colp of San Antonio, Tex, vice
president of the Meridian Road from
Winnipeg to the Gulf, and a party of
ten auto loads arrived in Yankton
Saturday evening, making a tour of
the road from San Antonio north to
Winnipeg. The party spent the night
and Sunday in Yankton and is expect
ed to arrive in Madison this evening
and remain over night.
This is n of the most spectacular
and far reaching overland trips ever
carried out with automobiles. A tour
of the Meridian road was made last
summer, but the n which was
started from San Antonio July 10
and which will end in Winnipeg July
30, is on a far greater scale and will
have a far reaching influence on the
betterment of the country's highways
and the establishment of cross con-
tinent roads and their proper upkeep.
The national party is accompanied
by an Associated Press reporter, as
well as a modern fully equipped NOV
ing picture outfit. The road will thus
be produced and placed before the
public in a most realistic form and an
idea of the work that has been done
to establish this great highway and
the important part it plays in many
sections of the country will be placed
before the people by writer's who
have personally been over the route
and inspected every foot.
The National Highways association
organized to encourage good roads
everywhere and at the present time
working for the passage by congress
of a bill providing a system of gov
ernment-built highways reaching ev-
cry state in the union, is sending Mr..
Westgard over the Meridian road 10
report on the project and make an Of
fetal log of the road.

Pertaining to Postmaster Primary
VIII Not BE Observed.

Washington, July 27.-The intens-
ity of the heat caused the postpone
ment of a cabinet meeting, at which
President Wilson had intended to
submit the question of the observ-
ance of the South Dakota primary
law in the matter of the appointment
of federal offceholders. 1t now
seems doubtful If the Richards pri-
mary law eYer will be taken up at a
cabinet meeting, inasmuch as Post
master General Burleson says he will
not agree to the acceptance OF the
Richards system of making nomina-
tions for postofice appointments. Mr.
Burleson takes the position hat to
name postmasters chosen under a law
which permits voters of all parties TO
participate would be destructive to
party organization, and he wants
democrats appointed. The postmas-
ter general said he vas entirely sat
isfied with the recommendations for
postoffice nominees which have been
made to him by the South Dakota
democratic organization, and he does
not propose to change the system OF
making his appointments in that
state.

RICH TRACT OF LAND
Near Missouri River Filed On-Nay
Get Into Courts.

Springfield, July 27.-Quite a SEN
sation was caused in real estate cir
Giles by the filing on some 600 acres
of Missouri river bottom land a few
miles east of this place by Ex-County
Surveyor j. w. Wallace, his son Joe
and w. G. Parsons all of this place.
The land in question has been oc-
cupied by holders of fractional lots
bordering on the original meander
lines of the Missouri river, and there
fore belonged to the lots upon which
ii abutted. Mr.. Wallace was doing
some work a little further east,
where there has been a dispute in re-
gard to the line between South Da-
kota and Nebraska, which originally
was the channel on the south side of
Bon Homme island, which was in
South Dakota. The channel after
wards entirely filled, leaving nothing
but tall trees where the line should
be between the two states. In look
ing up the notes for this work Mr..
Wallace found that there had been
some two or three miles of Nebraska
land eaten up by the Missouri river,
and as that stream al not that wide,
