The suicide of an Indiana tnan the other day rather than re main married will be seized upon with great relish by eastern paragrahers as another oppor tunity to write witticisms on the South Dakota divorce law.

The new mosqnito killer can never be recommended as a sure thing until it has been tried on the particular brand raised in South Dakota. The Argus-Leader is carrying on the profitable enterprise of writing up the different towns of the state. The editors of that paper are centainlv hustlers. $35,000 is the amount paid into the conscience fund of the United States for the last fiscal vear. There must l>e some good even in government robbers. When Mr. Bryan said that the Cleveland boom was “a comedy at present, and a tragedy if materialized ” he had evidently tor gotten the little stunt he was giving about three years ago. The wild howl that went up because of the lawlessness carried on in Indiana received a severe set-back by the promptness w ith which law was enforced and quiet restored in that state. The new Pacific cable to Man ila has been completed and President Roosevelt sent the first message over it. The time for sending a message completely around the world was about 10 minutes. Editor Tinan of the Kimball Graphic must be shy on mate nil during the hot summer months, if we may judge from the space he gives in each issue to the water question in his own and neighboring towns. ®he Press The Gazette man in a some what lengthy article undertook last week to refute the statements made by the Pressor the negro question. The whole tenor of his argument was that the law must be obeyed without regard to consequences. In theory he is right, but so long as the law and methods ofproceedure are ns they exist at present, the Gazette’s beautiful theory will not work out in the special cases mention ed in the Press. In no other case than that ofcriminal assault will the exception apply but it doe* apply there. This writer firmly believes that the southern papers are right when they main tain that it is impossible for their people to place upon their women the humiliation, shame and dis grace of telling the details of those outrages in public court rooms. Had our friend ever attended one of those trials as it was our privilege to do once, we believe he would agree with us most heartlv. It is an acknowledged fact that the black fiends who commit such unspeakable out rages, arc nothing more than brutes in human form. They do not represent the vast majority of negroes and the laws will have to be greatly changed to deal properly with them. The Gazette’s article as usual ends with a partisan denuncia tion of the Republican party. It is as follows:—“It may be the poliev of the republican party, of which our friend is a leader, to over-ride the Declaration of Indcjjcndence, which declares “that all men are free and equal’’ and the Contribution, which guarantees every man a trial by jury, but it is a ruinous one, and and one that cannot fail to bring disaster to us as a people and a nation.” Ifßro. Healey had taken time to examine statistics he would have discovered that ninety percent of the negro lynching* occur south of Mason & Dixon’s line and that there is not one man in a hundred in those states who is a republican. Yes, it may be the "policy of the Republican party.” Miss May me Bowman from Prairie City, 111. is visiting the Willett and Watkins families. A destructive hailstorm south west of l|ere Saturday evening, destroyed the crops of 11. Louzon West Nevp‘ll, U. W. Peiry, Jas. Thorne, M. laissala, Mike Pro tello, Henry Scott, Fred Bowden, Pete Nampnv and Ben Crawford. Mrs. Walker Berry is enjoying a visit from her parents, and daughter .from Shenandoah, lowa. Misses Mable Moore and May Camp celebrated their 10 and 18th birthdays, by giving a party to their young friends. Both young ladies received many hand some present. Mr. Bice’ aged mother died at Highmore Monday at the home of her daughter Mrs Kipiienbrich. The young man has the symp pathy of all, in his great loss. Miss Maud Sandford and brother who reside on the Patter son farm received a telegram Saturday afternoon, that their father had died vefry suddenly at Beresford.

Mindav night Andrew Thomp son, n ranchman in the southern corner of llvde countv, died af ter u severe struggle with pneu monia. The deceased was well known in this section, ns he at one time owned a sheep ranch east of st. Lawrence. He was seventy-four years of age and leaves a wife and two small children to mourn for him. Reg ister Hoskins and wife attend ed the funeral. The Press ex tends its svmpathv to the strick en family. Last Friday afternoon, at the M. E. parsonage, Mr. Roliert 0. Fugleman and Miss Mary J. Everett were united in marriage, Rev. Mcßeth officiating. The bride is unknown to 11s, blit the groom has long been oneof Hand county’s most prosjierous farm ers. Immediately following the ceremony the ha ppv couple drove to the groom’s, farm ten miles south ot Miller. The Press ex tends congratulations. About the only sample of the much talked of broine grass in this section is to be found near the (1. A. R. cemetery on a small held planted last vear. The new grass is something of the nature of timothy though not requiring nearly so much moisture. It came from Russia originally and is recommended esjiecially for dry regions as an excellent fodder. The farmers in the southern part of the state use great quantities of it. Saturday afternoon the re gular ball team played a practice game with the second nine, resulting in »n victory for the regulars. That is the kind of practice that, the team needs more than any other. If they ho|*» to make a showing in the games promised from how oil, thev should plav a short game with the second nine every even ing. The tea in goes to Highmore Saturday to play that team. A return game will lie arranged for. Tuesday morning at St. Charles, Nebraska, occurred the wedding of Miss Gust a Struif ami Mr. Win. Goeken The groom is a resident of Nebraska and is unknown to us. The bride, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. . J. .f. Struif, of Howell, is very well know n to Hand county people, having sjient most of her life here. She is one of our most charming young ladies and while her hosts of friends regret that she will no longer reside here, their best wishes go with her to her new home. The Press extends congratulations. At a special election last week the town of Highmore voted to incorporate Under the new city law passed by the lost legisla ture. There were but two disr senting votes, which speaks vol umes for the enterprise of onr neighbor on the west. The Press has advocated such a move for Miller many times and she wishes to reiterate what has been said before. If the town expects to progress and grow it must adopt new conditions and opportunities ns they are offered. We have reached a point where we must go forward, if at all, and we are going to do it. A city organization is the next step to take because of the in creased power and financial standing to make improvements of all kinds which it gives. Lei us :iot hesitate here, bat coutiuj ue our progress as our neighbor is doing. Harried. The committee representing the Driving Park Association has collected the full assessments on the old shares and has se cured deeds to most of the pro perty where the track is laid out. Enough more money has been promised to buy the land owned bv Harry Corbett. Now tlint the good work is under way let it move forward rapidly. Such a place of amusement is of pub lic benefit and nearly every resi dent of Miller desires to see it completed. The town must pro gress. nfid to make it a live bus iness ceriter a place of amuse ment must be furnished to those who trade here ns well ns to our own citizens. Everyone inter ested in the future of Miller should do nil possible to assist in these enterprises. A horse race, gotten up by the boys here with the herd of hor ses, was arranged for last Satur day evening. It wan mu on the quarter-mile stretch near the de pot and brought out u large crowd. Clms. Henshnw’s horse, ridden by Byron Douglass, won, with J. H. Schade second and tlie visitor third. From the race track the crowd was attracted to the stock yards to witness one of the cow boys ride nil un broken broncho owned by L. 1). Sweetland. Billy Houseman was the young cow-puncher’s nume who did the feat, giving the spectators a fine exhibition of riding. It was no trained nni mal that he had to tackle, but the real thing, and he rode like a veteran. This is the time of year v.hen ] oil taxes are being worked out by grading the roads through th*? county. The natural jtairie roads, with the exception of a few low places can not lie beaten any where. To attempt to grade these is a mere waste of time and money. The usual grading in the low places is practically useless liecame of the method by which it is done. The work is done hurriedly and without a desire or care as to the result and consequently in a majority of places the grade is avoided and a new road made. As the country tieeomes older and everything except the roads is fenced the question of good roads will liecome ns iinjiortant as it is in lowa and Minnesota today.
