cate on the state game reserve in the
Black Hills. There are yet several
bands of these animals ranging in the
northwest counties of the state, and
regardless of the absolute prohibition
against killing them, the bands are
growing smaller each year, and it is
hoped that enough of them can be
captured to allow them to increase on
the state preserve. Beside the bands
in the vicinity of Belle Fourche sew
eral others are reported farther north
in the Harding county country, the
Camp Crook Gazette reporting one
band of twenty-five staying in the
brush along the Little Missouri, prac-
tically in the edge of the town.

STATE NEWS.

WatertOWn - The snowfall the
present winter has not been eQualed
for twenty years in this locality, and
some apprehension OF danger Of high
water when spring opens up is al
ready being felt, especially i'm the
lowlands. Owing to almost impass-
able country roads which have prac-
tically prevented the hauling of hay.
this commodity is increasing in price
on account of its scarcity in the city.
Carthage-The local board of cdu-
cation has sold bonds in the sum Of
$1,000, which recently were voted
here for the purpose Of building an
addition to the public school build
ing. The bonds were sold at a good
price. The addition to the school
building will be constructed in the
spring.
Pierre-The National Farm Labor
exchange has again chosen Immigra-
tion Commissioner McCaffree, of
South Dakota, its president. Mr.. Nc
Caffree has just returned from this
meeting, and reports that very extern
sive plans are being made to take
care of the harvest hand question
next fall to secure an effective dis
tribution of such labor. Secretary of
Labor Post and Commissioner Gen
eral of immigration Caminetti were
present at the meeting.
Mitchell-Charles Weller, state
representative from Dawson county,
is detained at Pierre by the smallpox.
He was stricken after arriving i'm that
city for the special session of the leg
islature, but before he had opportu-
nifty to enroll. Pierre seems to be a
hoodoo for Dawson county men.
Last winter Representative Charles
Boreson was i'll there several weeks
of pneumonia. The voters of the
county were far sighted in electing a
physician as senator from the county
to look after his associates.
Beresford-A controversy extend
ing over a number of years between
the farmers whose land adjoins the
public highway between Brooklyn
and Pleasant townships in Lincoln
county, near here. finally has been
adjusted TO the satisfaction of all con
cerned. The difficulty arose over a
survey made in the pioneer days. 1t
was determined by the farmers inter
ested that the old homestead survey
made in 1876 by Horace Austin
should be the standard in future.
The claim of the residents Of Brook
Ign township was that they We're
short about a rod of land. which cuts
a great deal OF figure now that farm
land in this vicinity has become so
valuable. In the pioneer days a few
acres more or less made little differ
ence.
Tyndall-A gang of grafters has
just victimized several hundred resi-
dents of this county by the old clothes
swindle. Dressed poorly and appar-
emily in q shivering condition the
swindlers made a sweep through the
county begging old clothes TO keep
them warm, and 30 generous was the
response that they must have secured
nearly a carload Of clothing, much Of
which was almost as good as new.
Just before pulling out for other pas
lures a Tyndall man saw one of the
gang flash a roll of bills big enough,
as he expressed it, Ito choke a COW. :

clothing at good prices 10 second

The Courageous States Attorney
Would Make an Ideal Candi-
date for Vice President.

Maclay HOyne Is the one Democrat
In the West who has attracted the
attention OF the country on account OF
his fearless administration OF his great
office.
The New York states attorney has
frequently attracted nationwide at.
tenti0n by his attacks on grafters.
Chicago, the central metropolis OF
the country, holds the attention OF the
American people to a greater extent
than any other city.
That is why Maclay Hoyne is today
National Character.
His fearless prosecution of crooked
policemen, who believed themselves
to be all powerful, has won for him
a place in American politics that will
grow with time.
This was only one of a hundred VIC
tories won by him for the cause OF
right and justice.
Illinois could have no stronger can.
didate for National honors to offer
to the Democratic party at st. Louis
next summer.
There Is no IllinOisan named In any
party for high national preferment
now, whose record can at all compare
with that of Hoyne.
He has done things.
And what he has done has been for
the public good.
Wilson and Hoyne would be an In.
