was hastily picking up cards that
were scattered on the floor. Oscar

sound asleep in bed with his clothes

other double tragedy Friday night.
August Nelson shot Miss Mary

Nelson had been the girls sweetheart

NJCH HARMONY SEEN IN
OPENING OF LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, S. D.-The situation at the
opening Of the fourteenth biennial
session of the South Dakota leglsla-
ture is like a meeting OF the orient
al Order of Good Fellows as compar-
ed to a Kilkenny Fair two years ago.
The leading positions are practically
going to the 'favorite' without OPP
position unless such should develop
at the eleventh hour, and with the
speakership out of the way, the menu
bers are today sitting around waiting
for the caucus this evening to settle
what few minor places are left with
contests. and then to get ready fof
the opening of the session proper to-
morrow at noon, with another wait
of a couple of days until the com
mites are appointed to get down TO
business of the session which prom
ises to be more in the line OF actual
business than of politics.
Not that there is not being any
notifies being played. But the play
ing is not of the bitter fractional kind
which characterized the opening OF
two wears ago. The leaders OF both
factions are in conference as to de-
tails of organization. and while there
is some complaint thai the progress
sives are reaching for the lions
share, they claim they are entitled
to il on account of their lead in num-
hers. There has been a little leeilng,
more locally than general over the
candidacy of r. E.. DeXheimer OF

the most convenient way to raise

named to solicit pledges for the

been raised, and the amount is
steadily growing.
