thanks and their appreciation of the
splendid service of Mrs. Claude Nc

DR.. w. f. Daniels, president of the
state board of health, returned from
Canton, where, with the board OF
health of that place, an examination
was made of water in the Sioux river
between Sioux Falls and Canton.
Complaint had been made to the state
board of health that the river water
was polluted by sewerage from Sioux
Falls which was emptied into the
river. Conditions equally as bad as
had been represented were found,
the water in many places being filthy
from sewerage and refuse dumped
into the river from the Sioux Falls
packing plant. DR.. Daniels is unde-
cided as TO how the state board of
health will proceed in the matter, but
it is his opinion that a detailed report
of conditions found will be prepared
and placed before the incoming leg
islature.
Pierre dispatch. Papers in the
northern part of the state are agitat-
ing action by the coming Legislative
session for the setting aside of the
old Fort S~isseton reservation as a
bird refuge. This is a tract owned
by the state and we'll adapted fol-
both water fowl and other game
birds. and has been used as a shoot
ing preserve by eastern sportsmen
who have the building leased. The
argument is put up that the state has
established a large game preserve In
the southwestern part of the state
on the state forest reserve, and thai
action toward a bird refuge should
be taken. and that the Fort Sissetor
reserve is the ideal spot for such
reserve. In fact. it has been sug.
gested that the state make all state
lands refugees for game birds, where
they can stay in safety and which i
is claimed. would go a long way to
ward helping to restock the state
with such birds.

WILL LET BRIDGE
 CONTRACT MAY II

County Judges J. w. Johnston of Conway county and J. w. Holt of Faulkner county yesterday afternoon reached an agreement as to the de- tails of the new bridge to be erected across Cadron creek at Gleason and announced that they would let the contract for the structure at Conway on Monday, May II. Judge Holt ap- pointed as commissioners J. Il. Bailey, R. B. McCulloch and F. u. Halter and J. w. Johnston will name his commissioners later.
 The estimated cost of the bridge IS between $4,5O0 and $5000. Of this amount one-third will be paid in cash by Conway county, but that county also agreed to construct good road through the Cadron bottom from Gleason to Menifee. Of the remain der, $1,0OO in cash will be paid by citizens of Conway and Gleason, which will leave approximately $2,- 900 to be paid by Faulkner county. Judge Holt stated he had arranged to float the county scrip for this amount on the basis of 80 cents on the dol lar. This is a higher figure than Faulkner warrants have commanded for several years.

 "The committee has decided that no matter what laws are violated or ir- regularities committed in holding a primary election, none of these things can be investigated" said MT. Clark today. Tt has decided that the only question the party can look into is whether the certificate of the returns is properly made out and signed. With these restrictions it is obviously impossible to contest any primary election, no matter how great fraud might have been committed or how strong proof might be brought of such fraud"
 Bearing credentials which recited that no Democratic convention was held in Faulkner county, but that the "Democrats of the county" met and elected delegates to the various con- ventions, William H. Prince and Leo Hamburg, supporters of Judge Trim ble, left today to attend the Stuttgart convention.
 It is not probable that any of the regular" convention delegation will attend the convention at Stuttgart.

 FIERCE FIGHTING AT VERA CRUZ

 Information that President Huerta was counting on receiving from the steamer Ypiringa of the Hamburg American line, du etc arrive today a big consignment of ammunition rifles and machine guns, was respon- sibie for the occupation of the GUS toms house somewhat earlier than might otherwise have been the case. The Ypiringa is outside the harbor. She has on board, among other sup plies, 0000 rifles and 15,000 ,0OO car tridgeS.
 President Huerta has been making every effort to safeguard this con- signment, and had given order that it be unloaded immediately, placed on a special train drawn by two locomo- tives, and rushed to the capital.
 Washington, April 22.-Admiral Fletcher's report is as follows Tuesday, in face of approaching norther, landed marines and sailors from Utah, Florida and Prairie, and seized customs house.

Vera Cruz, April 22.-The Ameri- cans have captured Vera Cruz, but at the cost of the lives of several men and much larger number of wounded The MeXicans, under Gen. Gustavo Maas, the commandant of Vera Cruz, put up stubborn resistance. Gen. Maas challenged the advance of the Americans almost from the first and made it clear that the Mexicans do not propose to permit a peaceful oc- cupation.
 Less than half an hour after leav- ing the side of the United Staes transport Prairie, the marines had landed and the absence of resistance at the water front and failure of the Mexlcans to contest the taking of a position somewhat in from the water front caused the curious spectators in the street to laugh, and when one Mexican peon ran for cover, having had the temerty to shout at the top of his voice, Viva Mexicow loud guffaws came from the onlookers. But the full was not indicative of compliance. A few shots came within a few minutes and later a brief ex- change. After another brief interval, fighting in earnest began, and an hour afterwards the Mexicans con- tlnued to oppose the Americans fierce ly in some quarters, although the main body apparently seemed ready to quit
 Most of the firing was done by out post parties from the roofs at various points of vantage.
 The guns of the Prairie assisted the landing party. Toward evening the fighting continued but it was more of desultory housetop character than a determined organized resistance.
 Finally, the Mexican soldiers who had not been captured, killed or wounded, retreated westward.
 The American forces have taken possession of the cable office and hold the American consulate and part of the city in the vicinity of the wharves. The demand for the surrender of Vera Cruz was made by Rear Admiral Fletcher through Consul Canada at 9 o'clock in the morning The consul called General Gustavo Maas, com mandant of Vera Cruz, by telephone, and presented the demands, saying that the United States forces were about to occupy and hold the town. He called upon him to surrender in the name of humanity and assist the Americans in restoring order.
 Gen. Maas replied that compliance was impossible and asked the consul for personal barley. The consul informed Gen. Maas that he had no instructions to grant barley and ended the conversation. He then call ed the jefe politico and the customs collector by telephone and informed them of the prospective landing and asked for their cooperation in the maintenance of peace.
 The customs collector requested time in order to attend to certain du- ties, and neither could promise assist ance.
 Rear Admiral Fletcher, aboard the flagship Florida, by this time was in communication with Rear Admiral Badger, commander in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, who was speeding to- ward the port with five warships. Admiral Fletcher decided to take ac- tion and marines began leaving the side of the transport Prairie shortly before II o'clock They entered ten

The most popular girl in the

wonder why this should be the ease.
The reason Is that TO play most
