More Candidates.

You will find Frank S. Richa rdson's S
announcement this week IN the an
nouucement column Of the Pioneer as
candidate for the Republican nom
nation of Commissioner of the First
Commissioners District. Mr.. Richard
son is one of our most successful
homesteaders giving special attention
to the cattle industry. He was one
of the first settlers of the county after
the county was opened and he has re-
sided here continuously and has great
faith in the future of this country. If
nominated and elected he promises
the people of this district an ecopom-
ical and business like administration
so far as it lies within his power. He
is live wire and if elected we have
no doubt but that he would make the
district good commissioner.
Della Ward, one of the lady home
steaders of the Pure Water District
this week announces her candidacy
for the office of County Superintend-
ent of Schools of Mellette county on
the Republican ticket. Miss Ward
proved up on homestead and is one
who is sticking by the country. Last
year she was employed as one OF the
teachers of the Berkley school, more
recently she has been employed at
the Boarding school at Mission. From
what we can learn she is thoroughly
competent to fill the position to which
she aspires and should she receive the
nomination at the May primaries she
would no doubt give good account
of herself at the November election.

The Wise Candidate

The seeker for public office who
pos sesses the wisdom necessary to
qualify him for position is alive to the
fact that the voter of today has to be
shown, that deeds count for more
than empty words and cheap cigars.
A few years ago the candidate circu
lated around passing out rag weed in
the guise of cigars and declaiming
upon the glories of the republic in
general and the voter in particular.
He promised everything and delivered
little or nothing. Today he goes to
the editor OF the local paper, contracts
for liberal amount Of legitimate dis
play advertising space, and talks to
the voters in an honest and manly
way. In the old days he reached
only few of the voters, whereas by
the present method he talks through
the medium of his advertisement, to
every voter in the community. What
he says is on record in cold type, and
carries conviction. 1t is the method
that produces tangible results, that
gets the. votes, that appeals to the
intelligence Of an honest people.
Keep your eye on the advertising
colums of this paper, and see what
your candidstes have TO say.

When Everybody Works

A movement seems to be spreading
over certain sections of the country
notably ia some of the southern
states, whi,h has great possibilities
when properly pushed.
The idea is to select certain road
way, for Instance, which is in need OF
improvement and is of vital interest
to all of the people.
The next step is to arrange for a
holiday cn a certain date, at which
time the people all turn out, by the
hundreds and thousands, and all take
off their caots and pitch in and build
the road, or whatever the object
sought may be.
Often the ladies declare a picnic
aud go along and take the dinner for
the men and cheer them with their
presence.
1t has proven great success in
every case that hae come under our
notice.
And if it is successful in other
places, why not herei
Why can't we of this town declare
three or four such general holidays
and everybody turn out and make
some improvement that is greatly
needed in our midst'
Why can't we do something that
will make this a more attractive place
for the farming community around
Whv can't we do something that vii
be of commercial and civic value &c
our community
We need few get together picnic.
aud we need plenty OF improvements
and we know of no better way OF get
ting them than by means of some
thing of this kind.

COMMITS SUICIDE


This community was somewhat
shocked Tuesday morning when the
news was pretty generally passed
around that Mrs. Frank Sykora living
four miles west and five miles south
of Wood had committed suicide Mon
day evening about half past five or
six o'clock by shooting herself with a
single barrel shotgun. Here is the
story of the sad affair as near as we
can get it.
1t appears that Mrs. Sykora had
been suffering from a headache for
several days but outside of that APP
peared to be in her usual health and
seemed to be quite cheerful. Monday
evening she and her husband were
talking at the house and then he went
to do the evening chores, while the
three children were out near the
house playing. 1t appears as soon as
her husband left the house, Mrs. Sy
kora made preparations to commit the
horrible deed, she took the shoe and
stocking off her left foot and then pro-
curing single barrel shotgun kept IN
the house she took up position at
the door of the home and evidently
pulled the trigger of the gun with
her toe and thus put an end TO her
earthly existence. The result of the
shot was practically instantaneous
death, blowing the entire upper left
side OF her head off, her brains and
other particles of her head were scat
tered over the walls and the ceiling
and the body fell in the doorway in
such position that the door could
not be closed. The children hearing
the shot went to see what happened
and found their mothers lifeless body
lying in the doorway.
The Oldest son, some seven or eight
years of age then went to notify his
father of the tragedy, and when the
father came to view the terrible deed
OF his wife, be Immediately notified
the neighbors, and the Coroner and
the sheriff were notified of what had
happened. Coroner Brown and Sher
if Stone Immediately came out from
White River. and DR.. Reed of Carter
was also summoned to the scene of
the crime, and after viewing the re-
mains it was decided that it was a
clear case Of suicide and no inquest
was thought to be necessary. There
seemed no reason fo7 the rash act.
The Sykoras came here from Greg
ory county, where they proved up on
homesteads near Dallas, about three
years ago, and apparently were doing
quite well and were laying the foun
dation in this county for a comfort
able home ia years to come. The de-
ceased was 20 years of age and leaves
to mourn her sudden and tragic death
her husband, Frank Sykora, and three
children, Emil aged 8, George, aged
6, and Blanche, aged 5 years, and two
sisters, Mrs. James Sykora, who lived
neighbor to her and Mrs. Mary
Mania of Elson, Minnesota.
The funeral services were held yes
terday Thursday and the remains
were laid to rest in the Catholic cem'
etery west of town.
1t was very sad affair and an es-
pecially severe blow to the father and
his three small children, who have
the sympathy OF all who know them.

Griffin s League Seems To be Unpopular

The newspapers of Arkan- sas have handed Ben l.. Grif- fin bunch of very neat pack ages as a result of the cards sent out by him solicitingmem- bers for the so-called Local Self Government League" !"
 The following from the Stos phens News is a fair sample of what the papers are saying about Ben:
 "The editor of The News is in receipt of a letter from Ben l.. Griffin, Acting President" of the Local Self Government League" or to be more specific, the 'eiquor league" of Arkan- sas, requesting that we join his order and become a member.
 Ben wasted his time and stamps when he mailed us that letter. We have no time to fool away with a man who fell from the high estate of Secre- tary of the Farmers Union to Acting President" of the .Swilltub League" of Arkan- sas. People who know Ben won't follow him for his paths lay in uncertain places, and as a rule people don't travel that way. It would be interesting to know who the real president" of Ben's shebang is. If they have one they ought to put him forward if their cause is wor- thy of consideration. It can't go nowhere hitched on to Ben Griffin."

If there is any chance to get the proposed government ni- trate plant locaced on White river, the people of all North Arkansas ought to get in be- hind the movement and go af- ter it good and strong.

The erec- ton of twenty million dollar plant on the upper White riv- CT will be boost for this sec tion that will be worth some thing to Arkansas.
