Roy Caesar, the young man who
was conyictedof larceny . few
months ago, and given = sus-
pended sentence with the hope
that he would reform If given
another chance. instead Of en-
bracing this opportunity to make
good he jumped his parole after
a few weeks and skipped out of
the country. Search was made
for him and he was found to
have enlisted in the army med.
ical corps and was stationed at
Fort Logan near Denver, and af-
ter considerable correspondence
the government turned over the
culprit to the state for punish
ment. The sheriff brought Ceas-
ar to Sioux Falls and left him
there to serve his sentence of
two years.
The mercy extended to Roy
by the Judge, appears not to have
been appreciated, and the young
man thought that he was just
smart enough to outwit the law.
but like many others he learned
that his ability in this line only
brought him to grief.

Not Entitled to Seat.

The nOnpartisan league held a
convention at the court house
Tuesday afternoon for the nom-
ination of Legislative and county
officers, and as we had gotten
the habit of attending conven-
tions,- republican, democratic,
woman S rights or any other old
kind, we meandered down to the
court house for the purpose of
getting a report of the proceed
ings of the convention for the
readers of the Herald Advance,
but it was noticed that as soon
as a temporary chairman was
elected different ones of the elect
would approach the chairman
and whisper something in his
ear, and at length that gentle
man arose and commenced to
read the call for the convention,
which among other things said
that none but members of the
league should be present at the
convention when nominations
for public officers should be
made. AS we had no receipt for
our SIC dues, and we we'll knew
that if a rigid examination was
insisted upon about the only
thing we could give would be the
sign of distress, we apologized
to the assembly for intruding
upon q private meeting, and with
a half q dozen others who with
US had been accustomed to the
American plan of having open
conventions when nominations
for public officers were made, we
retired. It will take some Of
US quite . while to get accus-
toned to the new plan Of govern
ment by guilds.

proceedings as furnished by the

Smile Farewell 10 Drafted Boys

Sioux Falls Agrus Leader: Smile
don't cry. when the boys entrain
on Friday.
This is the message to parents and
relatives Of the 521 members Of
Minnehaha s draft for Camp Fun
ston, direct from the boys them
selves, for soldiers typify strength
and courage and tears denote weak
ness. No soldier wants to go to
battle with the lurking fear that
some loved one is grieving, but
rather that he fights to free the
world and all that he holds dear
while folks at home are bravely
working to maintain their end and
with stout hearts are facing what
h " can't avoid. Lieutenants Of
the boys who 60, met Sunday to ar
range the details of the final day.
Roger Brown, captain of the draft
edimen. in speaking for them said
'Farewells of relatives must be
said before Friday morning at 8
o'clock when the boys are instructed
to report at the coliseum After
that hour parents. friends or any
one else will not be permitted on
the floor Of the coliseum where the
boys assemble. but can be seated
in the balcony. The drafted men
will be kept in the building or its
immediate vicinity until nearly
train time when they will be shown
the cars to which they are assigned.
Parents, relatives and friends
should make it as easy as possible
for the boys to go and try to avoid
all semblance of tears or heartachea
in public. Every boy has someone
he cares about, but he is going at
the call of duty and he wants to
feel that a smile sent him on his
way and that the last glimpse was
