Pleased to Note Scandinavians
Were Loyal to the Re
n publicans
Canton, Nov. 10. Thos. Thoraon,
republican national committeeman, in
speaking of the result of tbe election
in South Daki ta. naturally feels highly
elated over the splendid majorities ac
ccrded Tuft and Vessey.
"Before election, said Mr. Thorson,
"there were all kinds of rumors, ano
we heard all kinds of talk about the
Scandinavians, the stalwarts and tbe
liquor people generally Koing against
Mr. Vessey- and for the democratic
candidate for governor,Mr l^ee. The
result of the vote last Tuesday happily
dispels the predictions, and in nearly
every county we find that the republi
cans practically showed a united front
in liehalf of the straignt republican
ticket. Having personally been rather
sensitive to the charge that the Scandi
navians would vote for Mr. Le«-le
cause of his nationality—I am pleased
beyond expression to find in scanning
the vote ol the precincts which are
lnrgely or entirely Norwegian, that
they have been loval to tbe republi
can candidates ami voted at the elec
tion even aB they had voted at the
June primaries-for the republican
ticket.
"Many of tbe democratic candidates
seemed to rely on a deflection among
republicans and in this they were
beautifully fooled. The republican
ranks, to the dismay of the opposition,
closed in solid file equal to any cam
paign in the history of tne state.
"It is a noticeable fact that there
were more straight ballots cast at this
election than is usually the caw Tbe
large vote given cur candidate for
governor and the overwhelming major
ity that the republicans will have in
the legislature makes it incumbent up
on the incoming administration to
"make good" by carrying out the
pledges made in the republican state
platform—to avoid extravagance in
expenditures and extremes in legisla
tion- so that at the end of Mr. Ves
«ey s adniinietrati in there will be no
just cause for any loyal republican—
no matter what his past factional
affiliations may have been, to tind fault
or make a&v just criticism. We as
sume that it will be the policy of all
re| ublicans to earnestly strive to at
tain this object. With the continu
ance ot the Koosevelt policies by Mr.
Tat't there wil be a natural tendency to
puisne the safe and sane course in the
administration of state aftairs so that
it will appeal to the goodwillof all
the people of the state."

Washington, Nov. 11.—Senator Cul

session of congress to revise the tar

posed of at the extra session to be

DIVORCE LAW
Safely Carried by Voters Will
Cripple Divorce Industry in
South Dakota
Hionx Falls, Nov. 10- Now that it
appears practically certain that the
new divorce law raising the period of
residence from six month? to one year
was approved by a majority of the vot
ers of South Dakota at the election last
Tuesday it is expected the divorce in
diiftrv of the state will show a ma
terial falling off after tbe new law goes
into effect, which will be immediately
after the state canvassing board offi
cially auoounces the result of tbe elec
on.
Whether or not tbe new divorce law
will prove a death blow to the divorce
industry ot South Dakota by no means
is ceitain. But it can Ik stated with
out the possibility of contiadictiou th.it
without doubt a good majority of the
residents of the state sincerely hope tbo
iew law will have the effect desired
and that the days of uiigiatory divorces
iu South Dakota are forever past.
That the new law will prevent
eastern people of moderate means
from coiuirg to South Dakota in quest
iif divorces is reasonably certain, but
it is Ix'lieved the six months' addi
tional residence will not in itself cut
noy particular figure with the more
wealthy and prominent seekers after
^outh Dakota divorces.
It is a matter of record that even
with the six months' law in effect
many of the wealthy and prjininent
members of the local divorce colony in
tbe past have remained in South Dako
ta for as much as one and two years,
and even longer than two years, before
instituting their divorce actions. This
was the case with Mrs. Roland B.
Molineux, Mrs. Flora Bigelow Dodge,
Mrs. William Rhinelautiei Stewart and
other distinguished former "colonists,
who since procuring their South Dako
ta decrees have taken new oameo by
annexing new husbands.
Hearing of all divorce ensns in open
court would prove effectual in dealing
with a death blow to migratory di
voices. While the new law contains a
clause inquiring that divorce hearings
must be held at regular terms of court
tbe proposed new law contains a little
joker which makes an exception, thus:
"Except such Hearings as relate to ali
mony during the pendency of this ac
tion, or the granting of an interlocu
tory decree.''
PERILOUS POSITION
South Dakota Farmer Caught in
Hole Made by Immense
Baulder
Noithville. Nov. 10 Pinned by hU
leg underneath a huge boulder weigt
nig three tons from Monday afternoon
until Tmmday night was the terrible
epxerieuce ef Hemy Bechtold, a pios
perous farmer of this place. After
horrible torture he dug bis way out
from underneath tbe giant stone. He
is now confined to his home at North
vilie, very weak from loss of fowl
and blood. He will probably recover.
A huge boulder lay where he wished
to plow and he determined to sink it to
a depth sufficient to allow the plow to
pass over it. He had almost finished
the task when the ruck rolled down up
on nim, pinning his right leg against
the side of tbe pit.
The imprisoned man called for help,
but hie cries could not reach tbe next
house which was over a mile distant
His tools were within his reach and he
set to work to dig himself out inch by
inch. For three days he worked
making slight progress each day. As
he dug the rock continued to settle
against the pinioned leg, but he saw
that he was extricating himself gradu
ally and he kept at work. In vain he
watchtd for a passerby, but no one
appeared to whom he could give the
alarm. Gradually hunger and thirst
and resulting weakness came over him
HO
that for the last dav and a half he
could work but for a hort tiuie with
out ceasing. At last he was freed
with the exception of his foot and with
the saw which he fortunately had witn
him he severed the shoe fiom his foot.
Almost prostrate with weakness and
pain he crawled toward the nearest
house. Children chanced to be in the
fields and heard his piteous cries for
aid. Examination snowed that his leg
was terribly lacerated.
BATTLE wlTUDEER
Deadwood Man Has Fierce
Encounter With an En
raged Deer
eailwood, Nov. 10.- Mrs. James D.
Hardin has a pet deer, now a voting
buck three years old, which stie nas
had since it was small. The animal
has roamed about the neighborhood all
this time witnout ottering molestation
to anyone, but yesterday a stranger
went into the yard where the animal
has had sole possession and this being
the fighting season with these animals
the buck at once sprang upon the in
truder and sought to gore him with its
pronged antlers. The man Mr. Lin
den, however, was fortunate enough to
get the young buck by the antlers and
with all his weight was able to bear
the deer's head So the ground and hold
it there, in tbe meantime calling for
help. In tbe deers effort to get awav
from Mr. Linden the animal which
weighs about 150 pound*, was able to
drag him out of the pen down the hill
side some 50 or 00 yards before help
came, and it wm only when Mr. Bar-
din beat the animal down with tbe
butt end of his heavy whip stock
that it ceased and became quiet.
This is toe first assault the deer has
ever made on a human and this is at
tiibuted to the fact that a stranger
intruded its abode. Mr. Linden re
ceived several cuts and bruises from
tbe prongs of tne deei and gives quite
an account of the animal's efforts to
use its hoofs, which it was prevented
from using by the fact that its head
was being held to the ground. The
deer iB heavier than the man and be
cause of that the struggle was made
more serious. Not a doubt is expressed
by anyone that had the deer been able
to cast itself loose from Mr. Linden it
would, under the conditions existing,
speedily have done Mr. Linden to

REHEARING "DENIED IN
STANDARD OIL CASE
Matter May Be Taken to Fed:
eral Supreme Court
Chicago, Nor. 11.—The intern
ment's petition for a rehearing of the
case in which the United States cir
cuit court of appeals reversed the
trial court in fining the Standard Oil
company of Indiana $29,240,000 for al
leged rebating, was denied in the
court of appeals. Immediately upon
the overruling of the petition District
Attorney Sims applied for a stay of
mandate, which was granted, thus
leaving the case still before the court
of appeals pending the government's
attempt to have the case taken before
the supreme court on a writ of cer
tiorari.
The court sustained its original
ruling reversing the decision of Unit
ed Stales District Judge Landls and
if manding the cose to him for retrial.
The government in its petition for
a rehearing intimated that If the opin
ion of the judges ot the appellate
court—Grosscup, Seaman and Baker--
were allowed to stand it would nullify
nearly every shred of rale reforma
tory legislation accomplished by the
Roosevelt administration. In summing
up its position counsel for the gov
ernment said that the opinion of the
court of appeals as it stood errone
ously stated material portions of the
record did injustice to the trial
Judge (Landis) left doubtful, in a
new trial, the rule of law to be ap
plied both as to knowledge on the
part, of the shipper that he was ac
cepting an illegally low rate did not.
make it clear what was to constitute
one offense—a trainload, a car lot or
a whole series of shipments for which
but one settlement of freight charges
had been made. It was further al
leged that the language of the appel
late judges appeared to be in conflict
with the language of the supreme
court and with language used by the
the presiding judge, Grosscup, in
a previous similar case. The petition
closed with a statement that if the
opinion of the court of appeals were
permitted to stand unmodified it
would "tend to encourage disobedi
ence to law, to impede the enforce
ment of salutary statutes and largely
to defeat their purpose."
ON FLAGLER'S RAILROAD.
Cassa 4f Alleged Peonage Finally
Called for Trial.
New York, Nov. 11.—The cases ot
alleged peonage in building Henry M.
Flagler's Florida East Coast railroad,
which have been pending in the Unit
ed States courts of this district foi
nearly two years, were put on trial
before Judge Hough in the United
Stutes circuit court. David E. Har
ley, an employe of the Florida East
Coast Railway company Francesco
Sabbia and Edward J. Triny, employ
nient agents of this city, and Frank
A. Huff are accused of conspiracy to
keep employes in enforced peonage.
Huff had not been arrested at the
opening of the case. It is charged
that Sabbia and Triny hired men in
New York, took them to New Jersey
and turned them over to Harley and
that he took them to Florida to work
on the railroad. The complaint al
leged that the workmen were kept
there in a state of "peonage, slavery
and enforced servitude."
It was learned that the government
has nearly three hundred witnesses,
many of whom, it is alleged, were In
duced to go to Florida by misrepre
sentation.
After the selection and swearing In
of the jury counsel for the govern
ment declared that 3,000 men in 1905
had been forced to work on Mr. Flan
ler's railroad. "These men," he as
serted. "were held there in slavery.'
THUMB MARK ON STATIONERY
Pad Said to Be Taking Plaoe of Mono
gram on Not* Papar.
According to a Philadelphia station
er, the thumb mark (s taking the place
of the monogram on note paper. "The
thumb mark," says this authority, "is
engraved In gold or silver and has all
the value of a Bertlllon mark of identi
fication. Some people prefer to have
the thumb mark printed in red or blue,
but tbe metal colors are generally ap
proved.
"It has several advantages besides
its novelty, familiarizing oue's friends
with a personal sign manual wbicb
cannot easily be duplicated. Many of
the thumb marks are also surprisingly
picturesque, and it is not difficult for
the writer to Rnncx a fresh thumb
mark in Ink, and this can be compared
with the engraved mark when one
wants to establish the Identity of spa
dal writings.n
ATTEMPTING TO
DIVIDE LABOR
Leaders Express Opinion of
Roosevelt Dinner.
GOMPERS FEELS HONORED
Considers Mia Exclusion fpow the
List of Invited Guests a High Trib
ute to His Honesty of Purpose.
Mitchell, Duncan and Keefe, Asked
to Attend, Expect to Be at Denver
on Date Named.
Denver, Nov. 11. Considerable
comment was caused by that portion
of the annual report of President
Samuel Oompers, read to the conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor, in which Mr. tlompers said
that President Roosevelt had issued
invitations to a number of labor lead
ers to meet with prominent lawyers
and jurists at a dinner at the White
House on Nov. 17 for the purpose of
discussing labor legislation. Presi
dent Roosevelt, said the report of Mr.
Gompers, had excluded from the list
of invited guests the officers of the
American Federation of Labor, Includ
ing its president.
Mr. Gompers, in an interview on
the subject, refused to discuss the
question from a political standpoint,
but contented himself with a state
ment to the effect that he deemed
himself honored by the exclusion and
considered the president's act a trib
ute to his honesty. He said:
"I am honored by the president
when he excluded me from his guest
list. It is a high tribute to the man
ner in which I have represented the
interests of the millions of working
men and women banded together in
the federation, both in the matter of
pressing the administration for fair
labor legislation and in the political
campaign just ended.
"This is the first affair of the kind
that I know of at the White House to
which I have not been invited, but
despite the fact that I have frequent
ly been asked to meet the president
and his friends socially I have never
availed myself of such an invitation.
Met on Business Basis Only.
"My dealings with the president
have always been on a strictly busi
ness basis. I have frequently request
ed an audience with him regarding
matters of import to the federation
and its membership and have always
been well received and treated cour
teously. There, however, my rela
tions with the president ended.
"I, by virtue of the trust imposed
upon me by the federation, represent
the millions of people of the country
whe toil with their hands—the hirei
men and women, so to speak. If the
president or any other person cares to
say that I do not represent the mem
bership of the American Federation
of Labor so be it I doirt care to be
come involved in a controversy or
criticise such a stand.
"When such needs present I shall
meet President Roosevelt or any
other president or public man as the
representative of the workers, if they
re-elect me and care to have me rep
resent them."
The other officers of the federation
declined to discuss the matter, but
many labor leaders gathered in Den
ver declare that the action of Iht
piesident is simply a part of a plan to
divide the forces of organized labor so
they would be not effective in future
contests.
John Mitchell, James Duncan and
Daniel J. Keefe, who were invited
the president, said they expected to
be In Denver at tbe convention ses
sion next Tuesday, but would decldt
whether to accept or reject the in vita
tion when they received the presi
dent's letter.
