The friendly, letter written by DR.. Duis
in behalf Of County Commissioner Valen-
tine, and published In Dur issue on Friday,
seems to be construed by a few as 40 effort
to instlgats the nomination Of Mr.. Valen-
tine a. q nonspoiaical candidate. While We
do not p~artcipatssi IN this view of the case,
it Is but justice To Mr.. Valentine to state
that he has no desire for a nomination out
side the republican party, with which be
has always been identified. He authorizes
US to state that no will only be q candidate
for county commissioner BY consent Of the
republican party and upon the republican,
ticket.

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS.

From the various sources through which
We gain early infofmatioptegsraing railroad
movements In southeastern Dakota We
have obtained returns, alnce our last issue,
sufficient 10 enable Us to assert that the
Milwaukee road is to be built to Yankton,
and that the grade will be finished inside
of two months. Our Information upon this
subject We deem reliable. The company
has decided to run q line to Yankton, and
the only Circumstance which might 10
dissppoint our people would be an entire
change 10 the plans of the company. The
contemplated line is to come neither from
Lennox nor Max well, but from Rock Mills.

miles east of Canton, in Iowa. Starting
from this Intersection it will follow down

and the Big Sioux. at Eden. and from there,

hills he returned over the line, passing
through Eden last Saturday on his way to
Rock Mills. A very few days will develop
something of dscisi.e nature regarding

Newspaper Investigation.

All the Testimony in-The Result of the
Newspaper Investi tigation.
After considerable newspaper agitation the
public has finally obtained the minutest facts
concerning the good fortune of Mr.. L. ii. May,
of South Washington, who received the $4,000
prize at the recent drawing of the Kentucky
State Lottery. Even the certified check for
the amount of the prize given to Mr.. May by
Williamson & Co., the lottery agents in New
York, has been unearthed aid fac simte
printed for the benefit of the public.
All this was brou ought about because Mrs May,
the wife of the lucky man, happened to say to
q REPUBLICAN reporter that she knew moth
ing about the prize and the reporter printed it,
THE REPCBLIcAN has been charged with "eat-
ing crow" because 1t continued Its investiga-
tion and printed yesterday morning the result
of further interviews. establishing beyond p
doubt the fact that the prize was drawn and
paid, and rontradicting the Inference which
naturally followed the first series of interviews.
THE REPUBLICAN also created something of
jar between Mr. May and his good wife by
making one contradict the other, so the whole
investigation has been productive of a number
| of humorous situations, besides in the end
coming out IN favor of the lottery company,
| and making for them huge gratui tous adver-
| tisement. Mr.. May has his 900, less 80 900
due to his two partners, and 1t is expected that
| the new church which he is represented rs
having resolved to build will soon be in course
| of erection.
1t is fur to presume, however, that Mr..
May will take advantage of his improved cir
cumstances to indulge more extensively than
ever his weakness for lottery tickets, having
received substantial evidence which should
strengthen his faith. The effect of the whole
