RIVAL DEMOCRATS
RUPTURE BRINGS TWO CONNEN.
TIONS TO MITCHELL.

Mitchell. Feb. 22.-One of the In
teresting features in political circles
this week will be two rival state con
v%entions of democrats, both of which
will be held in Mitchell, one On We'd
nesday and the other on Thursday.
The calls for both conventions state
they are for the purpose of selecting
a list of delegates to be placed on the
primary election ballot for election at
the primary election on May %, as
representatives of the democratic
party of South Dakota at the demo
cratic national convention at st.
Louis in June.
The gathering to be held on Thurs
day was called by United States SEN
ator Johnson and Congressman Gan
dy, while the convention for Wednes-
day has been called by DR.. Rock, OF
Aberdeen, chairman OF the demo
cratic state central committee. DR..
Rock alleged that Senator Johnson
and Congressman Candy usurped the
functions of the state committee in
calling the convention, and accord
ingly issued the call for the rival
meeting of democrats.
The division in the ranks of the
democrats of South Dakota quite nat
urally is not at all d~ispleasing to the
republicans.
The democrats, however, contend
the division is not at all serious, that
ii is due more to a misunderstanding
than anything else, and that ii cannot
affect the interests of President viii
son, as the democrats of both South
Dakota factions favor his renomina-
ton.
The division is due simply to state
issues, according to the claims OF
leading democrats, the DR.. Rock fac.
ton being dissatisfied with the dis.
tribution by the majority faction, as
represented by Senator Johnson anc
Congressman Candy. of some of the
federal offices in the state.
There is every possibility that as
result of the two democratic state
gatherings two lists of delegates fol
election to represent the democracy
of South Dakota at the national con
vention at st. Louis will appear OF
the primary ballot.

TIME TO ACT
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages Of
Kidney Illness-Profit by Madi-
Sol Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache, ir-
regular urination, headaches and dir
zy spells are frequent symptoms OF
kidney disorders. It's an error to
neglect these ills. The attacks may
pass off for a time, but generally re-
turn with greater intensity. Don't
delay a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep up their use
until the desired results are obtained.
Good work in Madison proves the eff

STOLE FOR FAMILY
PATHETIC CASE OF MODERN
JEAN VAL JEAN DISCON-
Erred AT LEAD.

Lead, Feb. ga very pitiful case
of the Jean Val Jean variety has
been developed here through the ar
rest Of a local man for petty thievery
about the city. For several weeks To-
cal merchants have been missing
goods, principally groceries, clothing
and the like.
A suspect was arrested, but the
condition of his home substantiated
his statements that he did not steal
for personal gain, but simply in an
effort to stall away the wolf from the
door until the winter had passed.
He has been out of work the great
er part of the winter, his physical
condition being such that he could
not work in the mines, although a
position was opened to him if he
could pass the examination.
Cellespino Genera. the heaviest
loser from these thefts, has absolute
ly refused to prosecute the case, and
none of the other victims will sign
complaints. Instead all have Clipped
in, and with the aid of other friends,
are going to see the man through the
winter and try and get him work that
his feeble constitution will permit his
doing.

DRUGGISTS ARRESTED
ABERDEEN PHARMACISTS Nab
BED IN CRUSADE AGAINST
SALE OF LIQUOR.

Aberdeen, Feb. 22.-Papers were
served yesterday in five more actions
started by the states attorney against
the three local druggists who are al
ready facing numerous charges of al
legged illegal sales of intoxicating IL
quors in both municipal and circuit
court.
Two actions are brought against
the Rasmussen Drug company, one
against the corporation for engaging
i'm the business of selling intoxicating
liquors as a beverage without a Ii
cense on or about January IA, and
the other against Roy Rasmussen, one
of the proprietors, for selling liquors
as a beverage, he being a registered
pharmacist.
Two actions are brought against
Charles G.. Casey, of the Parden-Casey
drug store, for engaging in the bust
ness of selling intoxicating liquors al
retail without a license, one case al
leging sales on and before February
Is and the other on and before Feb
ruary 5.
The fifth case Is against Gust Pom.
tow and j. Falkenstein, also charged
with engaging in the retail business
without a license on or before Jan.
uary IA.
Injunctions were served against
these three druggists several day:
ago restraining them from selling OF
giving way any kind of intoxicating
liquors for any purpose whatsoever
AT the time this was also said to pre-
vent the defendants from even filling
prescriptions, but a later advice from
Judge Bouck, who granted the re
straining order in the form of a tenn
porary injunction. is said to have per
mitted the druggists to fill prescrip
tions.
One state case is nov pending
against Gust Pontow in circuit court
while two cases against Rasmussen
one against Casey. n against Pom
tow and another against Gussie Pet
rick, clerk for Pontow, are pending
on the municipal court calendar, a re
straining order having been served OF
the Judge of the municipal court pre-
venting further action in these cases
until a demurrer is argued before
Judge Bouck in which the defendant
hold that a city organized under thu
commission form of government can
not pass ordinances prohibiting thu
sale of liquor, and therefore have M
jurisdiction in this matter.

SENATOR JOHNSON
RIVAL MEETING WILL AT
TRACT MANY DEMO
CRATIC WORKERS.

Sioux City, Feb. 22.-Senator Ed
S. Johnson, of South Dakota, arrived
Saturday morning from Washington,
ID. G.. He left in the afternoon to at
tend to some business affairs in
Charles Mix county. He will be on
hand for the democratic conference
at Mitchell on February "a, as called
by himself and Congressman Candy,
and may journey into Mitchell a day
ahead to observe the rival conference
called by DR.. II. j. Rock, democratic
state chairman.
Senator Johnson does not think the
state legislature had authority to le-
galize the former county and state
committeeman, and, for that reason,
is not inclined to assign any author
ity or significance to DR.. Rocks con
ference. He feels certain hat the
meeting of February "a will be the
main show and that the event of Feb
ruary % will scarcely be able to quail
ify as a side show.
In discussing affairs at the nation
al capital Senator Johnson expressed
the opinion that the German subma-
rine question should not be discussed
publicly in congress at this time. be-
cause ii can do no good. The adj
ministration's strength abroad" he
said, depends somewhat upon its APP
parent strength at home. Congress
should have little TO say publicly on
this question now. or on any other
question which might embroil us with
foreign nations"
Senator Johnson declares that most
of the criticism directed against the
administration, in speeches, publicity
pamphlets and in newspapers, are pc
litical buncombe.
do these people want war?' he
said. IF not, what do they want?
If Root and others would offer some
thing in the'way of a definite policy
there might be something to argue
about. 1t Is easy to criticize. but not
so easy to furnish a definite remedy

COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Feb. Especial: The
Russian army which captured Ere
rum in Armenia is e~ndeavoring to cut
off the retreat of the Turks. Petro-
grad dispatches report the capture
after heavy fighting of the towns of
Mush and Achlat, to the south.
Along the Black sea coast Russian
warships are %harrassing the retreat
ing Turks. The northern wing Of the
Russian army has captured the town
of Wide and is driving the Turks
back i'm the direction of Gumish
Khanes which is on the road to Treb-
izond, while large Russian forces are
moving westward from ErZerum with
the object of cutting off these Turk
ish troops before they can reach a
new line of defense.
The Germans have been operating
vigorously against the British and
French along the User canal in Bel
GUM to the north of Ypres. From
the British $50 metres of a position
were captured and held despite eff
forts to recapture it. After a heavy
bombardment the Germans attempted

German positions, while in the Ar

ed TO the locality adjacent TO Avlona.
That progress is being made by the
