Captain Miner is one Of the

has taken = prominent part in moulding
the future of this new empire Of the west.
He came to Dakota nineteen years ago from
Abel, Dallas county, lows, and took up HE
residence at Vermilliop, where he engaged
in the hotel business. In the Sioux Wal of
1862, 1868 and 1854 he commanded a com.
pany of Dakota volunteers and went through
the difficult and dangerous campaigns Of
General Sully as captain Of company B,
Dakota cavalry. Towards the close of this
frontier war he was entrusted with the
command Of three companies and rendered
valuable service in the final battles BY which
the Sioux were subdued. Captain Miner
has been three times elected to represent
his district in the Dakota legislature-frst

accidentally picked up copy Of . recent
edition Of the Yaakton Herald, I noticed
an article headed with the Interrogation Of
"Who 10 Howe." and signed BY one with
the cognomen Of Rambler" thought to
enlishten the Rambler BY informing h'm
through the columns Of your paper Who the
much sought for Howe il.
The writer of the article starts out In such
. style that one would think that . modern
Shakespeare had taken up his abode among
u, but ere it's close the style assume that Of
an escaped lune.
He says the old ladies out there held .
meetingt to find out who Howei is. He says he
was there, but they failed to find out who
"Howe is." Rambler reminds me Of q
story related by Bishop Jayne. On a GER
tain occasion a bashful young man was
preaching before the conference on the
subject Of Lots wife, but he had y hard time
of it, nearly breaking down a number Of
times during the discourse. After the ses-
sion had closed he told the bishop that he
did not know what the trouble was-that he
could preach better than that. ut was your
subject my son." said the good old bishop.
II never knew any good to com of . Meth
odist minister meddling with other mems
wives" So with Rambler. Probably the
old women met to talk of other matters, but
as a member Of the stronger sex was present
they thought to discuss the problem he was
seeking To %unravel, and as a natural conse-
quence, no good came of it.
The only show" he has ever known is the
salutation Of the poor Indian Lo. We doubt
not but that he told the truth that time, for
probably, he has been a equaw man all his
life previous to his rambling to Yankton,
and is surprised to find that a white man
has taken for a name the salutation Of poor
Lo.
Finally he winds up by saying that he
thinks Howe must be one of the last batch
Of Russians,a, the stalwarts to secure immi.
grafton, give Office to new corners. On this
point We have but q word to say, the rea.
son Why all new corners are republican is
that they are almost invariably honest and
only become otherwise by coming in contact
with men of the political proclivities Of
Rambler. And if the democrats ever come
into complete power it will be when immi.
grafton ceases and the masses become con.
taminated with the ideas of Rambler.
"Who is Howe| L. w. Howe is a far.
mer and a teacher residing in the northwes,
part of Yaukton county. He is a man o.
good sound principles, and of such a char.
acter that money can not buy him to furth.
er the Vaccinations of any clique whose
aims are detrimental to the public good. He
is also the republican candidate for county
commissioner, and Rambler may leat assur.
ed that the republicans of Yankton county
will elect L, W. Howe on the coming fourth
day Of November.
