GOV. LOWDE|v COMING
TO SOUTH DAKOTA
DEFINITE DATE SET FOR AP-
PEARANCE OF WESTERN PRES.
IDENTIAL CANDIDATE.

Sioux Falls. Jan. 28.-Definite ar
rangements for the appearance in
Sioux Falls of Governor Frank o.
Lowden, leading candidate for the
Republican nomination as president
of the United States, on the evening
of February 18, were made today.
Z. j. Morris, chairman of the Low
den-for-president organization in
Minnehaha county, received word to-
day that Governor Lowden would
speak in Sioux Falls on that date and
the coliseum has been engaged for
the occasion. 1t is expected that the
governor will arrive on the Illinois
Central at 10:15 that morning from
Chicago and will spend the day here.
Where he will go from Sioux Falls
has not yet been determined.
The appearance here of Governor
Lowden is expected to draw a large
crowd. Governor Lowden's popular
ity is spreading rapidly through the
state. AS western man, a farmer
and a successful business man whose
record has proved that he under
stands what the country needs, his
candidacy is meeting with great favor
through South Dakota and Lowden
sentiment, especially in the agricul-
tural sections, is gaining fast. The
fact that Governor Lowden is a ma
tive of Minnesota and was raised IN
Iowa, on a farm, and worked his way
through school and college, is prov
ing an asset in the campaign.

DAUGHTER HELD FOR
MURDER OF MOTHER
WEALTHY LEAD WOMAN'S BODY
FOUND CHARRED IN FURNACE.

Lead, Jan. 28.-Mrs. George A.
Searl, whose mother, Mrs. John Nemi
an aged and wealthy resident OF
Lead, was found dead in a furnace in
her home, has been arrested with her
husband in connection with the death
of her mother. The partially burned
body of Mrs. Nemi was found in the
furnace with the door of the furnace
closed. The arrest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Searl follows long investigation, in
which Mrs. Searl was active.
1t was first believed Mrs. Nemi
committed suicide while temporarily
mentally deranged. At an inquest
conducted by the coroner, however,
that official climbed into the furnace
in which the body was found and
demonstrated the impossibility of any
one closing the furnace door after en-
tering. What police declared were
bloodstains also were found on the
floor of the furnace room.
Mrs. Searl was arrested when she
went to the Lead Jail yesterday to
visit her brother, held there on an
other charge not connected with Mrs.
Nemi's death. Her husband was ar
rested later while working.
Investigation disclosed that Mrs.
Nemi had drawn $1,000 from the
bank the day of her death, and that
more than $1,000 of that amount
was missing after the discovery of the
body.
Mr.. and Mrs. Searl will be removed
from the Lead jail, officials said, be-
cause of alleged threats of violence.

Good Rainfall Throughout State.
 Rainfall over the range sections of the state has been generally sufficient to keep pastures in condition, accord ing to advice received by the Weather Bureau, and in Cochise county the range shows improvement. At Pine dale no rain has fallen for two weeks and is badly needed. However to the east, over the northern Plateau and in northwestern New Mexico water and feed are sufficient to abundant.
 The heaviest rainfall for the week 2.50 inches, occurred at Seligman and Douglas reports 1.O7 inch while at Flagstaff, Williams, Ash Fork and Pinedale little or no rain fell. In spite of the generally dry summer the prospects for winter feed are good. The rains of last winter and spring following the very wet summer of 1919 caused a free growth of the various brouse plants and shrubs which will be available for the coming winter. Cattle continue in fair to excellent condition and it is reported from the Apache Indian reservation that they will enter the winter in bet ter shape than last fall.

DARING LEAP FROM
 AIR MADE BY ARMY. LIEUT.. AT MORALES.

Nogales, Aug 19-Thirty six hun dred feet up in the clear Arizona air of beautiful Nogales morning, Lieut. enant Leroy Wolfe of the 18th Aero squadron, calmly jumped of mili- tary plane at 9:10 a. m. He dropped like plummet for 200 feet, then be- gan floating toward the earth as the Parker parachute [. .s,ened to his back opened and broke the velocity of the decent.
 This was due to the fact that 400 feet above the earth, Lieut.. Wolfe opened a second parachute fastened to his breast which broke the fall, opening to capacity within 100 feet after cut loose.
 The jump is said to be one of the most effective and successful achiev- ed in the history of modern aviation.
 Four airplanes took the air in con- nection with the Wolfe jump. They circled for nearly half hour before the spectacular leap occurred. It made a fine spectacle in the clear morning air.
 Hundreds of spectators were out with glasses watching the ships. When Wolfe stepped of and jumped there was general deep drawing of breath as the hundreds of persons watched the daring officer plunge to- ward the aviation field from which the flights started.

 SMITH

Tucson, Aug 1S-W. R. Ramsdell being in or out of the Senatorial race will not affect the fight at all, Senat- or Marcus A. Smith. said yesterday after his arrival in Tucson, where he will remain several days before con t1nuing on his trip over the state in the interest of his campaign.
 T see that Ramsdell has taken oc- casion in his fleeing shot to say that my return to the senate would be an .undeserved triumph for the big min ing companies and the railroad cor porations and deadly blow to gov ernment of the people. This gratuit- ous statement has been made so fre- quently that sensible men have ceas- ed to pay any attention to it,'' Sena- tor Smith said
 ''The labor record I have made in congress is satisfactory to any req sonable man interested m the pros- perity of the laboring people. But am too busy now to give further at tention to these often repeated and ma licious falsehoods It is enough for me to say once for Fl that never in my political life have received one dollar as aid from s,ry corporation in the United States or elsewhere"
 Senator Smith said he was much encouraged over the outlook of his campaign. He has been over the northern counties and has found his old friends promising their support He is also encouraged by the looks of the situation in Tucson. He will spend several days here and will go to Nogales and thence to Cochise and Graham and Greenlee counties in the interest of his campaign.
 Senator Sr;th was optimistic over General Cox's chances. Democrats who are we'll acquaited with the na tional possibilities have appeared to me to be convinced of Democratic ] victory. They believe /that Senator I Harding will weaken over the strain of the campaign. They see in the Re publican presidential nominee the re incarnation of that Republican party which wass headed by Mark Hanna i-and Others, the -pafty-against-. whom Roosevelt rebelled and fought. There fore many of the Republicans will be unable to support such nominee"

 Housing Problem

The Clifton Public Schools will open Monday morning. August 30th. The Junior and Senior High Schools will assemble at S:15; the elemen- tary schools at 9.00..
 AS will be seen from the published list there are many new teachers on the force. Since the housing of teachers is not the least of school problems, the school man. agement would like to have all per sons who have furnished rooms. or small apartments to rent, list the same with Superintendent Baker. Telephone 154 or write.
 Adult men who wish to form a new class in mechanical drawing or shop mathematics, or to continue the work begun last year, will please give their names to Superintendent Baker. The School term has been extended one month, making a ten months term starting on August 30th, and ending about the third of June.

 The same number of teachers will be employed as last year, one being added at the High School and one taken away from the Big Lue school which was discontinued This will make a total of AS teachers including tDe superintendent.
