THE DISTRICT ArroRHEYsH,p.
Sioux Falls Independent


We have previously expressed our opin-
ion that the above mentioned Office is OF az
much practical importance to the people of
the I'd judicial district as the delegateship
is, and we are happy to announce that there
is an excellent prospect that it will be COM
petently filed for the next two years.
Mr.: Alfred NJ. Flagg, of this city, re-
ceived the nomination at the hands Of the
republican district convention, held at " ank-
ton on the 22d inst, and his election is az
certain as anything can be in politics.
Mr.. Flagg is an Illinolsian BY birth, 80
yeare of age, and graduated at the leading
educational institution of his native state in
the classof 1872. Mr.. Flagg studied law, and
was admitted to the bar by the supreme
court of Illinois, in September, 1875. Da-
kota attracted his attention as a home, and
in October, rs, he located at Swan Lake,
Turner county. The people of Turner
county were too honest, genial and hospit-
able for litigious purposes, and in Septem-
Der, 1877, Mr.. Flagg, seeing the star Of en-
pire hover over Sioux Falls, with excellent
judgment changed his location at exactly
the right moment and cast his lot in the
Big Sioux Valley. He formed partner.
ship with T. r. Kershaw, Esq, and the
firm under the style of Kershaw & Flagg
are well and favorably known to the people
of the Sioux Valley. 1t was argued by the
supporters of other candidates that Mr.. Flagg
is too young and inexperienced to bear the
duties Of SO responsible an Office, but in the
opinion Of those best qualified to judge he
possesses the requisite legal capacity and
persevering application, and if he continues
in the course of conduct which has marked
his residence in Dakota, we predict for him
a successful and honorable career.

OUR BOLD SAILOR BOY.
Description Of the Prizes Won In England
by Sprui11e Braden.

In the show window of Heron's jewelry
store on Washington street are the splendid
prizes awarded to Spruille Braden in the
midsummer examination of cadets on her
msjesty's training ship Worcester, at Lon
don, England. In a beautiful case is in
closed solid gold medal, bearing on one
side a medallion of the queen surrounded by
the legend: Victoria, d. G. Britt. Reg. F.
d." which may be translated. Victoria,
by the grace of God queen of Britain and de-
fender of the faith" On the reverse is the
inscription: Presented by Her Majesty, the
Queen, to Spruille Braden, of H. NJ. S. Wor-
cester, Training Ship; 1875" A splen-
did sextant is inclosed in rose
wood box, plate on which
bears the inscription, Thames Nautical Col
lege, H. NJ. S. Worcester, port of London
Given by the honorable corporation of the
Trinity House to the cadet who obtains her
majesty's gold medal; awarded to Spruille
Braden, midsummer, 1878. Another ele.
CANT rosewood case. bearing the same inscrip-
ton the reverse of the medal, showing
that it also is from the queen, contains a
splendid scales, similar to those used in
chemical experiments, where great exactness
is required.
The various prizes are of considerable
value, even without the added worth of be-
ing obtained IN a contest in which real merit
was the only test.
The New York World of Thursday, in the
course of column article to youths who are
ambitious to be sailors says: Read the story
of the American boy, SDruille Braden, who
has just now carried off all the prizes in the
British training ship, the Worcester. In a
class numbering nearly hundred he was
the only American; he studied hard, was
popular with his instructors as well as his
comrades, and when the annual examina-
ton came around he was so much more pro-
ficient than the rest that he won the first
prize and received a gold medal from the
queen, together with a sextant presented by
the Elder Brethren of Trinity House, which
is the chief British authority in maritime
matters outside of the admiralty" Then
after much advice, half comic, half serious,
to the boy who wishes to turn sailor the
World ADDS: LET him do what Master Spru
lille Braden has done-get him a place on the
Minnesota and let him carry off all the
prizes if there are any to be had, or at ali
events become the most promising sailor on
board"
The prizes exhibition at Heron's,
earned as they were, are worthy of the finest
ambition of any boy, or man either. and the
people of this city should feel just pride in
the youth who has won and brought them

Missionary work among the Teloogoos has
met with great success The working force
actually on the ground does not number
much above dozen men. but in the last
two weeks of June the conversions were
more than doubled. On the oath of June
the Rev. Mr.. Clougb, the missionary, pre-
dicted that within six months fifteen or
twenty thousand would be added to the
number. At one point, Ongole. more than
five thousand were received in three weeks

man. Let it be remembered by American
Baptists that this great event has taken
place in one OF our missions Let il be
known, too, that the responsibility of taking
care OF this harvest is ours, and ours alone.
It will be a disgrace to US before God and

PUBLIC FEELING.
The excitement in the city yesterday was
extreme in its intensity, and was not con-
flned to any one class. Hundreds of times
during the day were men heard - declare
out and hung, and WITH the name of the
accused was coupled .the names
OF the other men now in Jail
for the crime of murder. Old staid business
men, who UP to the present time have been
opposed to mob violence in any and all
FORMS were not slow in ex pressing the opin-
ion that Judge Lynch should be called on to
dispose of the murderers in the briefest pos
siple way When the report came in of still
another murder at Brightwood, the excite
ment was intense, and had the report
been confirmed, it can hardly be doubted
that some desperate work. would have been
witnessed. The feeling in the city is such
that the least sign of trifing or wavering on
the part of the authorities will lead to a de-
termined effort to punish the accused, law
or no law.
NOTES.
The police were keeping lockout about
the jail last night.
1t was rumored at an early hour this morn
ing that Nerrick had made confession to
Chief Travis.
About one thousand persons visited Rus
sell " Lees while the post mortem was be-
ing made yesterday morning.
The remains of the dead woman will be
buried to-day.
