Bryan Dooited In Party War.
Washington , March , 27. When Wll-
llnin JHiinlngH llryan wan decisively
benton lit thu liiHt campaign , It was
mummed liy tlio country nt largo Unit
the Democratic party would duvoto It-
Hulf at once to DID Important tiiHk of
u -'organization ( on an entirely now
llllfilH.
.Mr. Ilryiin did not seem to join In
with tlilH plan with iiny great iimotint
of unthuHlnsin , and ho announced ho
would hold himself In rendhioss at any
tlmu to respond to the 'call of his
country IIH expressed In any loguiarly
organized Doinocratlc national convon-
tlon. On the ether hand , the northern
and eastern loadeis generally as-
HiuiH'd that , a ft or having been beaten
throw Union hy coiiHinnlly IncicaHlng
pluralities , Mr. Ilryan might fairly ho
countoil out of the miming HO far IIH
avallahlllly WIIH concerned.
There was , therefore , a gioat deal of
talk about coming unity In the Demo
cratic paity and u icoiganlzntlon
which would center nioiind the noinl-
natloii of some popular or conserva-
tlvo man IIUo ( loveinor Johnson of
Minnesota or Governor Harmon of
Ohio.
Lenders Drifting Farther Apart.
Recent events liuvo proved extieme-
ly disappointing to the Democratic
leaders. IiiHtead of getting together
on a harmony basis they an * actually
drifting farther and farther apart. The
ttpllt hotween Tammany and the south
IIIIH hecome slgiillleont slnc * the open-
Inn of the special session of congress
and the light on rules , and there are
developing ether lines of cleavage , par
ticularly over the tariff and the tieat-
ment of trusts , which do not make for
unity In the party , at least at the
present time.
There are some years to elapse bo-
foio the next national campaign , and
It may he that the warring elements In
the Demociatlc party may agree to
hury the hatchet. It docs not look
that way at the present time , however ,
nnil the most conservative men In both
wings of the party now say they do
not see how they can possibly get to
gether lu time to carry the next eon-
uressional election , as they hnd fond
ly hoped to do.
It was the plan ot the Democratic
leaders to do everything the Insurgent
Hepubllcans wanted In the way of a
revision of the house rules , with the
Idea that the regular Ucpubllcans
would retaliate. Then there would
he strife among the Hepubllcans lu a
number of the congressional districts ,
with the possibility of two candidates
in that party. The result would be , as
a matter of practical politics , that a
Democrat would slip Into the house
from the districts which were normal
ly Republican.
Well Laid Plan Goes Awry.
By Increasing the disaffection
among the Republicans and fomenting
In the west a campaign against that
condition of affairs which Is mysteriously
the oldest
iously known as Cannonlsm
est and sanest of Democratic leaders
believed they could elect n majority
In the house In 1910. Thereupon they
would be In control of legislation , be
cause they could dictate to the ad
ministration in the matter of appro
priations and general policy.
This plan of campaign involved the
permanent shelving of Mr. Bryan mid
the choice of .Johnson or Harmon or
somebody of that type from the mid
dle west who would make a rattling
campaign against Tuft two years
thereafter.
All of these plans have been smash
ed by the serious split among the
of rcpresentn-
Democrats In the house ui | * i v-w
UeiUOLIill
tlves. They are getting farther and
farther apart , and bad blood seems to
between the two factions
be cropping up
tions to such an extent that any
successful campaign for control of the
next house Is almost out of the ques
tion. There now is no Democratic
leader In the lower house of congress
who can draw after him more than a
respectable fragment of his party , and
the situation in the senate is not much
better.
JOHNSON NOT IN HIS SET.
Jeffries Asserts He Will Not Discuss
Fight With Champion.
Boston , Mass. , March 27. When
shown the dispatch from Chicago stat
ing that Jack Johnson was coming to
Boston for a conference which hoc
been arranged with him Jeffries said
today :
"Even If 1 make up my mini
whether or not I will fight him I wll
have nothing to do with him. I have
no business to discuss with him , and
certainly I would not receive him
socially. " ?
The finder Is probably honest s
advertise your loss !
New Statesmen Very Modest.
Washington , March 11. Some of
the autobiographies of new members
in the congressional directory are re
freshing.
Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash
ington , who wltn Senator Burton ol
Ohio was promoted from the house
pays a warm tribute to his wife , an un
usual contribution to an official publl
cation. The sketch of Mr. Jones says
he "was married to Mlndn Nelson at
Knfleld , 111. , in the fall of 18S6 , and
whatever success he has attained Is
duo to her earnest , faithful help and
cheerful self-denial. " Mr. Jones also
unfolds an unusual professional ex
pcrlencc "has never acted as attorney
noy for any railroad , telegraph , or
express company , or for any public
service corporation. "
The house ot representatives of the
sixty-first congress embraces In Us
membership the champion of leglsla
turo In America history , for Kdward
Thomas Taylor , representative at large
from Colorado , says of his twelve
years' service In the senate of his
state :
"Has the reputation of having been
the author of more important laws am
constitutional amendments than an >
person that over sat in any legislature
of any state of the union during the
history of thq government over forty
general statutes and live separata con
stitutional iiinendmentH that were
adopted by n vote of the people. "
Saved Nation $10,000,000 , a Year.
While serving IIH postmaster at
I'arutherHVlllo , Representative Crow of
Missouri , relates that "several times *
ho called the attention of congress to
the manner of weighing malls ; con
gress llnally revised the method ,
whereby It Is estimated that a saving
of $10.000,000 a year was effected. "
An Interesting figure In the house
Is Delegate Cameron of Arl/ona , Re
publican. Ho defeated veteran Mark
Smith last fall , whoioupon the story
went the rounds that this result WIIH
a part ot a scheme to ser-uio stale-
hood allaying the Republican oppo
sition by the Idea that two Republi
can senators would bo chosen by the
new state. Hut Mr. Cameron has a
hotter claim to fame than any based
on politics. He located and built the
"Bright Angel" trail Into the Grand
Canon of Colorado and still maintains
It.
The baby of the house Is Palltte 131-
vlns of Missouri , who was sworn In
on the day on which ho completed his
thlrty-llrst year.
Secretary Dickinson of the war de
partment makes no reference to his
politics In the sketch of himself. The
one political fact ntutod In Secretary
MacVeagh's biography Is that he was
a Democratic candidate of the United
States senate In the ' 90s.
"Bill Club" Banquet Proposed.
A bamiuet unhiue In the history of
official Washington may be held here
before congress adjourns. The new
congressional directory has disclosed
that there are forty-four men In the
house and six In the senate who re
joice In the Christian name of "Wil
liam. "
The "Bill club" of congress already
has been organized and the sugges
tion has been made that It should sig
nalize Its existence by holding a din
ner with Wliuain H. Taft as the princi
pal guest. Men with the Christian
name of "William" predominate In the
house .
Class Honors Are Awarded.
The class honors at this spring's
ilgh school commencement have been
von by Miss Helen Lobdcll and Miss
lattlo Adams. According to the
grades for the four years' work an-
lounced today by Miss Amy Leigh
Paine , principal of the high school ,
Miss Lobdcll will be the valedictorian
while Miss Adams will deliver the
class salutatory.
Miss Lobdell who wins the first
loners has a grade for her four years'
work of 911.92 per cent. Miss Adams ,
vho shares the class honors with her ,
ms a grade of 93.21 per cent. Miss
Lobdell makes her home with her
Hint , Miss R. V. Mason on South
Tenth street. She took the Latin and
lormal training courses In the high
school. Miss Adams Is a daughter of
S. T. Adams and lives on South
Fourth street. She took the German
and normal training courses.
Class Ranks High.
This year's graduating class , con
sisting of seven boys and an even
dozen young ladles , has probably
for scholarship
established a new record
ship in the high school. Ten mem-
jers of the class in their four years'
work have secured an average grade
of 90 or above. Of the remaining
nine no one falls below 85. In the
local high school 75 Is the passing
mark.
Ballasting to Start Monday.
The Northwestern Monday will be
gin the work of ballasting seventy-
six miles of track on the Bonesteel
line , mapped out as the chief track
Improvement In this section In 1909.
The track to be ballasted this year Is
that part of the Bonesteel line be
tween Norfolk and Verdigre and be
tween Spencer and Bonesteel.
First Work at Foster.
The work of track ballasting will
start at Foster , the Foster bottoms
being the first part of the line to re
ceive attention. The crews will work
out of Foster in both directions. The
Foster bottoms are the scene of an
overflow of water during each spring
and summer. This , together with
heavy fills , demands the first atten
tion of the ballasting crew.
A Big Year's Work ,
The work outlined above , which was
forecasted In The News some months
ago , constitutes an important year's
work. Ballasting a track means rate'
ing the track eighteen inches In addi
tion to further raises which may be
necessary to equalize It. For sonic
years the Northwestern has been en
gaged In ballasting Its tracks between
Chicago and Deadwood.
Last year In view of financial con
ditions all work of Improvement was
given up. This year It Is resumed.
The fact that the work Is to bo done
on the Bonesteel branch Is n recogni
tion of the growing Importance of the
traffic over that line , which has shown
rapid development In both the passen
ger and freight departments. Heavy
engines are already used on the Bone-
steel line hut better tracks of course
means better service.
Means Fifteen Crews.
The work of ballasting will call for
the service of fifteen extra train
crews In addition to the actual force
of laborers. Last year the lack of the
gravel trains was felt by the train
men.
Atkinson and Long Pine Pits.
The material used In ballasting will
he obtained from the gravel pits at
Atkinson the first thirty days. After
that the supply will come from the
Long Pine pits.
Excavator Here.
The gravel excavator has been In
Norfolk for the past day or two and
was ordered to Atkinson this after
noon. Six men are required to run
the big gravel digger , while the total
force at the pit numbers about fifteen.
Pierce Call : A. .1. Col well , general
foreman of the Northwestern railway ,
was here last Saturday and In com
pany with Mayor Duff looked over
railway property. Ho Informed Mr.
Duff that It IB the Intention of the
company to build a side track just
ciiHt of the main track to accommo
date their Increasing business In
Pierce. The main track trom Norfolk
to Dallas Is to ho ballasted this year
so as to permit the company to use
tholr largo engines. A company of
olllclals are expected hero In a few
days to look at their property. There
Is a possibility that the stock yards
may be moved out of the corporation
and the depot moved. It is rumored
a now brick depot will be erected and
the old one either torn down or a
warehouse made of It. Pierce people
will welcome any of these Improve
ments on the part of the North
western.

Gregory , S. D. , March 2G. Special
to The News : The rush of the land
hungry has begun in earnest. More
than 1,500 men and women from all
parts of the west are here to buy the
rough lands along the Missouri whlcli
the Indians and the homesteaders had
left. They had been gathering for c
week. Judge Wltten arranged by spe
cial authority to grant the acceptance
of drafts in lieu of cash but Issued
no receipts till they were paid. One
hundred tracts were sold yesterday.
The sale will last five days. The
first tract went at ? 4 an acre but as
there was a dispute among the hid
ders as to who had bought It , It wae
put up again and sold to J. H. Scls
sons of Bonesteol S. D. , for $5.10 an
acre. The lowest priced piece wap
$3.30 and the highest went at $8.
The great crowd Is being cared foi
In good shape and the best of ordet

ted to accept drafts and checks In
pajment for land bought at the sale
A receipt is given but no certificate

best In conducting the sale. Such exchange -
change cannot bo paid at the bank *
because of the difficulty of Identifica
tion.
