the docket was very large. twelve per-
sons being tried for misdemeanors
Four were fined for lettering, six Tor
being drunk and two for exceeding the
speed limit. The latter two were
caught by plain clothes man on
Saturday and Sunday and It Is said
that there are number more to be
tried as soon as proper identification
of their cars can be made.
We are glad to see that the authori-

breaking up the practice of speeding
on the streets. Only by catching the
offenders and giving them very heavy
fine can the practice be broken up.

PEOPLES WAREHOUSE Co.
Holds Annual Election Of Officers Yes.
terday - Directors Chose Same
Mer for the Positions.


The directors of the Peoples Ware
house Co., held meeting in the ware
house on Bank street yesterday after
noon and reelected the following Of
ficers and directors for the ensuing
year:
President and General Manager-R
l.. Turner.
Vice Presidential. b. Wood.
Secretary-T. A. Keith, Jr.
Treasured. X. Wood.
Directors-R. l.. Turner, III. B.
Wood, Robert Wells, James Rees and
DR.. A. o. Taylor.
The directors were so well pleased
with the manner in which the bust
ness was conducted during the 1862
season that they felt that change
would be the most unwise thing they
could do.
The Peoples Warehouse Company
is the youngest in Maysville, having
been organized last summer. Their
house was removed from Manchester
and was ready for the opening of the
season. At once the house became
popular among the growers of tobacco
which is shown by the large amount
OF tobacco sold there, 2,Ol5,055
pounds. This was certainly a good
record for a house in its first year.
The directors are looking toward
the coming season as being even
greater than the last and if possible
to double their sales. They feel that
it can be done.

Pierre, Feb. 10.-The military bill
to offer the old Fort Sisseton military
reservation for sale, thus securing a
portion of the fund TO purchase a new
state military camp and rifle range,

buildings and the general sentiment
was that these should be retained by
the state for future use.
Among the house bills introduced
was one by Buchholz, providing for
auxiliary election boards in all pre-
cincts which cast more than 100
votes, the auxiliary board TO begin its

PLAN OF CAMPAIGN
ALREADY OUTLINED

Washington, Feb. 9-From authentic
sources the following outline Of the
military policy that would be pursued
by the United States In the event OF
war with Germany has been obtained:
The army and navy war college has
planned. with the approval of the two
general staffs, a complete line of cam
paign, predicated on the presidents de-
sire in the matter.
This campaign would be based en-
tirely on this principle: that IL the
United States enters the war it will be
because of Germany's violation of the
rights of the United States on the high
seas and not primarily because of a
desire on the part of the United States
to accomplish the complete defeat OF
the Germans to bring victory to the
allies.
Consequently the chief activity of
the United States in the event OF war
would be in protecting rights on the
seas. To this end part of the United
States navy would be sent to English
wsters to help keep open the steamer
routes travelled by American ships
The rest of the navy would be kept
near the United States to do the same
duty and to patrol the seas adjacent
to American territory.
An army OF 100000 men would be
raised, not for. the purpose of sending
ii abroad to fight in the trenches of
Europe but to be used in the defense
of the United States.

LODGE CIRCLES.

Sioux Falls, Feb 10.-Col r. J.
("Dick") Woods. insurance man and
fraternal lodge figure OF national ac-
quaintance, died at his home here of

the United States Upon being sent
to South Dakota in 1880 with other
orphan children he worked on what

as life insurance man, of which
business he made a brilliant success.
For eight years he was president
of the state league of republican
clubs; twice president of the state
Elks' association, and twice president
of the state firemen's association
He also had been prominent in Ma
tional Republican league circles. 1t

taken more than his share of initia-
tions In the many social and farternal
organizations represented in his
state; had been president or vice
president. secretary or treasurer or
director. in more leagues and associa-
tions and societies and clubs, frater-
nal or business or social or political
or patriotic, than any other man in
South Dakota. He never failed to
put his shoulder to the wheel in any
enterprise for the benefit of the city,
county and state.
