STOCK GROWERS
ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD
AT HOT SPRINGS.

Hot Springs, March 20.-The
twenty-fifth annual meeting of the
Western South Dakota Stock Grow
ers' association will be held here
April 10 and IL. This organization
was formed in the early days Of the
open range when stock was permitted
to roam at will throughout the year,
for the protection Of its members by
a system of inspection on the range
and at all market points in the mid
die west.
During its lifetime the %organlza-
tion has recovered strayed or stolen
stock belonging to its members Of a
value OF over $4,000, 600. Even with
the passing OF the large herds and
the settlement of practically every
portion of the range the work OF the
organization and the benefits accru-
ing to its members are proportionate-
ly as great as at any time in its his
tory. The location OF this convention
at this place is greatly appreciated by
local citizens, and the Commercial
club will put forth every effort to
satisfactorily care for and entertain
its guests.
Railroad, stock and commission
men are expected here from Chicago
st. Paul, Sioux City, Omaha, st. 10
seph, Kansas City and Denver.

SPEEDERS HAVE OWN WAY
Juries Free Offenders Due to Unpop-
u~larity of City official.

Spearfish, March 20.-A peculiar
situation exists here with reference
to enforcing the automobile speed
limit laws. During the last few
weeks a large number of automobile
drivers have been arrested on the
charge of running their machines at
an excessive speed, but in each in
stance the juries have declared them
innocent. This action Of the juries
Is said to be due to the alleged un-
popularity Of the official charged
with enforcing the speed limit laws.
Owing to the frequent acquittals the
city authorities have practically
abandoned all hope of having the
speed laws enforced. Under present
conditions it is said a jury cannot be
secured in the entire city which Will
convict anyone arrested for violating
the speed laws. Leading citizens in
innate that unless the unpopular Of
ficer is removed from office, the
voters at the annual election in
April will make a complete turnover
i'm the city administration.

Charlottesville, Ind, March 20
Miss Helen Elston Smith, of this city,

Mrs. Henry S. Lane, both of whom

in New York city recently of finding

Europe. Miss Smith was in New

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS As
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March 20.-Special:
The German offensive in the Nerdun
region, now nearing the end of its
fourth week, has again slackened de-
cidedly, both Paris and Berlin report
ing the continued absence of infantry
operations by either side. The big
guns here and there along the front
in the vicinity Of the fortress are in
termittently pounding opposition po-
slons, but the chief activity just at
present seems to be by the airmen.
Numerous raids by French aviators
are reported by the Paris war office,
the points bombarded including the
railway stations of Contains and
Metz. The showers of heavy shells
dropped are declared to have been
effective in causing numerous eXplo-
sions and fires.
Elsewhere on the western front
the artillery Is the only military arm
that has been busily occupied and
even this has not displayed more
than ordinary activity. In Russia
there has been only sporadic fight
ing, although there are signs of prep
arations for movements OF probable
importance practically along the en-
tire northern end Of the line.
The Austrians have turned on the
Italians along the Isonzo, where the
initiative has recently been for the
most part with Gen. Cadoma's force.
Vienna announces a successful attack
north of the Tolmino b~ridgehead, in
which Italian positions were cap

WOLVES NARROWED
THREE LARGE ANIMALS FINAL
LY ESCAPE by SWIMMING
TO SAFETY.

Fort Randall, March 20.-One Of
the interesting features in cOnnec-
ton with the recent high water in
the Missouri river was the NARROWING
of three huge wolves near here.
When the river rose rapidly because
of ice gorges the bottom land in this
vicinity was speedily flooded and the
wolves were cut off from escaping to
the highest land. They were ma
rooned on a little knob of high bank
and for a time it was believed they
would be engulfed and drowned.
with almost human intelligence the
wolves looked about for some means
of escape, and finally decided to swim
for it, Notwithstanding that the aver
age wolf is a poor swimmer and is
practically lost when in the water.
The strongest appearing wolf was the
first to strike off through the water
from the knob for the mainland, and
was closely watched by his two COM
rades who had remained behind.
When the first wolf made the main
land all right, another yentured in
to the water and soon joined it's fell
low wolf on the mainland. Then the
third made the trip through the wa
ter in safety. All landed on the
mainland deliberately and without
apparent excitement, and after shak-
ing the water from their shaggy
growth of hair, scampered away to-
ward the region back from the river,
evidently deciding that they wanted
nothing more to do with the treach-
erous Big Muddy"

braces all the beauties that era one
should. The third era is unquestion-
ably the greatest of all. To those who
are truly ideal ii means preparation
FOR the day to come. To those who
are not ii means relief and succor
from the day that has gone.
should the man in matrimony give
UP his rights to a club? AS head
quarters-yes; as a place for relaNa-
tion-no. His rights to friends? As
an obseSsion-yes: as 4 means to keep
ripened the sweetness of existence

detriment of his wife's health-yes !:
