PRIMARY REFERENDUM
RICHARDS FRIEND SAY HURON
MAN NOT INTERESTED-HIS
NAME USED A. BLIND.

Pierre. Feb. 29.--The announce
ment that Il. o. Richards will make
no effort to invoke the referendum
on the amendments to the primary
law adopted at the recent special
session of the legislature, seems TO
the way for the election by the
people of delegates from this state IN
the national political conventions.
There are persistent rumors, how
ever, that will yet try TO
throw a bolt into the machinery and
that plans to that end have been
made right here in Pierre. In its is
sue of February u the Pierre Da-
kotan, "A partisan Of Charles II. Burke
republican national committeeman
for South Dakota, announced:
THE Dakotan is perfectly willing
TO go on record now in predicting
that the delegates to the national
conventions will be elected on June
6. the date of the primary election
before the governor called the spe-
cial session"
More recently the Capitol-Journal,
of similar political utilization, claimed
TO have received rumors that some
thing would soon happen" to make
the political situation more complex
Mr.. Burke has repeatedly stated
that IL delegates are elected at a pri
mary they will be elected on June 8
Whether Committeeman Burke ae
tually intends to attempt a referen
dun on the primary amendment
thereby preventing the election o
delegates i'm time to be seated in thu
convention, is not known, but IN
confident statements of himself ant
Pierre newspapers point to a fore
knowledge of some such movemen
concerning which the public has no
been taken into confidence.

RICHARDS CASE
ASSIGNMENT ON SUMMARY
DOCKET STANDS THROUGH
OBJECTION OF RICH
ARDS LAWYER.

Washington, Feb. 29.-The SUI
preme court of the United States VIII
not entertain the motion of Attorney
General Caldwell, of South Dakota,
to dismiss the appeal in the Richards
urinary election law case, having
placed the case on the summary dock
ct for argument on the merits. The
court will not entertain the attorney
generals motion to dismiss on juris-
dictional grounds. This was made
plain to the attorney who attempted
to present the attorney generals mo-
ton to the court Saturday.
The motion to dismiss, IL 1t had
come up for hearing, would nave
brought the merits of the case before
the court to some extent. For a
reason the opposition of Mr.. Rich
ards attorney indicates no particular
haste on that point. The courts re-
fusal to dismiss indicates nothing as
affecting the general standing OF the
Richards law before the supreme
court. 1t had been assigned TO the
summary docket and merely holds Its
assignment on account of objections
by Richards attorneys to taking VI
the issues before the time fixed
some time in April.

BUILD GRAVEL TRAIL
REPRESENTATIVES, OF FIVE
IOWA COUNTIES WILL
PUSH NEW ROAD.

Storm Lake. Feb. 29.-Representa-
ives of the boards of supervisors. en-
gineers and road enthusiasts from
Carroll, Sac, Buena Vista. Clay and
Dickinson counties gathered in Storm
Lake in the interests of the new
~'graveled trail running from Carroll
on the Lincoln highway to Spirit
Lake. The visitors were entertained
at a banquet at the Bradford hotel by
the Storm Lake Commercial club.
after which there were addresses by
ID. w. Norris, chairman OF Gov.
Clarke's special highway commission;
Chief Engineer Mcdonald, G.. K.
Cameron. another member OF h spe-
cial commission, and others. Mr..
Norris. who is spending most of his
time talking roads. urged the issu-
ance of bonds in each OF the five
counties interested in the new gra-
veled trail for the completion OF the
work at once. In Clay county this
is being done. He stated that Buena
Vista county could grade and gravel
every mile in the county system ana
make every bridge a permanent one
and pay out on the bonds the ninth
year, and that all of the counties
could accomplish the same thing in
but a few more years.
Committees were appointed from
Carroll, Sac and Buena Vista coun-
ties to lay out the road property, and
it is believed that the different
boards will take up the work in ear
nest as soon as spring opens. A road
mass meeting to ascertain the senti-
ment of the people Of Buena Vista
county on the bonding proposition
will be held in Storm Lake on March
90, when well known speakers will
be in attendance.
Practically all of the work on the
proposed trail is completed in Dick
inson county and a greater part of II
is done in both Clay and Buena Vista
counties, although much ~graveling Is
still to be done In Buena Vista.

Amazing Hardness is Displayed by q
Jersey Family Pet.
Montclair, n. j. Mrs. Ruth Clark
Bellah Of 4 Garfield place has a butter
fly as a household pet. The butterfly
is probably the only one in New Jer
sey that has lived through the winter.
On Oct. - last it was found in the
Bellah house under a lace curtain.
Mrs. Bellah placed the little thing in Il
small box with a netting cve it rather
than put it outdoors to freeze.
To her surprise the butterfly lived, so
she then put it in a large hat box with
netting over the top and s|prinkled the
netting with sugar and water. The
butterfly Is n dark reddish brown, with
pale yellow and blue splashes near the
end OF its wings. When asleep or
when its wings are closed it resembles
a dried leaf. Mrs. Bellah finds that
the butterfly sleeps most of the time,
but she never fails to put it in the
sunshine every bright day and to give
it sweetened water. AS soon as the
sun warns it up the butterfly opens its
wings and flies back and forth in its
cage, thus taking its daily exercise.
