THE EXTRA ELECTION.
A Warm Contest, Which Returns the
Old Members of the City Council.

Warm Contest. Which Returns the
Old Members Of the City Council.
The city election Tuesday resulted in the
returning of the resigning members, the
Messrs. Brown and Horn, after hot and
well contested struggle Every vote cast
was closely watched and at the closing Of
the polls it was found that 2O4 votes were
cast, at least IS more than was ever be-
fore and goes to show that we must have
population of over 200 inhabitants.
The Messrs Clark and Reed, the gen
tlcmen who ran in opposition to the re-
signing members, received very COM
plimentary vote and need not feel dis
couraged at the result. The odds were
against them but their friends stood by
them nobly, from first to last. Both sides
did hard work and can rest on their lau-
rels, knowing that nothing has resulted
that will in the least retard to the interests
of the city. The result showed that the
Messrs Brown and Horn received | IA and
ll3 votes to Clark and Reeds 81 and SS
There is one point, however, we wish
to have explained to us and cannot see
wherein or why the opposition to the
Messrs Brown and Horn are styled the
''enemy' by the News Extra, and why
the News calls the victorious side the tax
payers The Messrs Clark and Reed
were supported by some of our heaviest
tax payers and prominent business men,
among whom are the Messrs f A Gale, Il
W Hood, Y p Thompson, T,J Fosdick, G
\ Bedford, VIM II Miller John Coloney
and SONS, Ed Rowley, VIM NJ Cuppett,
Kennedy Bros, Madole, and others.
Surely the News must have been laboring
under extreme excitement The above
following is worthy of any candidate that
ever SHE'D his castor in any field,
whether for pecuniary orprivate consider
alton.
The ADVOCATE is pleased that the cleo
ton is over, and, as stated in the issue of
last week, it had nothing to say against
the integrity or honor of the successful
candidates. All it has at stake is that the
labors ofthe council may be pleasant and
for the good of the city

A Bad Order.

A recent order of General Manager
Merrill of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul railroad is ofconsiderable interest to
sportsmen. 1t authorizes the free tran
spoTtation Of dogs and hunting equip
ments when accompanied by their owners,
and prohibits baggagemen from demanding
fee for taking care of them.
The above order is clipped from an
exchange and are sorry that Manager
Merrill has given his sanction to such an
order. Under the above arrangement
sportsmen can come to our section of
country with their double barreled shot
guns and dogs and slaughter the chickens
by the hundreds, which are as rule left
lying on the fields and the putrid carcasses
smell to the breeze. Chickens are none
too plenty and should have the protection
the law gives them. We would like to
see every farmer, the owner of land, chase
off from his premises every foreign sports
man shooting this innocent game wanton-
ly Lets shoot and protect our own game.

Charles T. Mccoy.

The Yankton Press has this to say, as
a ruling from Judge Edgerton: In
the writ of habeas corpus OF Chas. L.
Mccoy, about whom so much has of late
been said, the Judge decided that Mccoy
should be discharged. The last grand
jury of Bon Homme county brought into
court a presentment upon which the court
ordered to issue bench warrant for the
arrest of Mccoy on the charge Of secreting
the Bon Homme county bond record.
The motion for the habeas corpus was ably
argued on Monday. The discharge was
granted on the ground that the present
ment was deficient in not laying the venue.
The grand jury was legally constituted
body, the offense was committed, and it
appeared then Mccoy was probably guilty
of the offense, but as the presentment did
not show that the offense was committed
in Bon Homme county, or even in Dakota,
the Judge held that it was invalid and Of
no effect

NAV Day.

The merry month of May was ushered
in at Canton by an enthusiastic company
of young people, who have for weeks been
occupied in making May baskets. The
custom among our young Americans"
is Tor the girls to hang baskets, one even
ing to the boys, who are expected to be
upon the lookout, to catch the sly donors,
and repay them by multitude of kisses.
OF course the girls ''hardly ever" get
caught The next night the girls are at
home to receive the baskets and to pay the
boys for such favors as they may have
bestowed upon them the night before.
The rising generation seem to enjoy the
fun hugely, and by the fine display of It's
sue baskets there are some nimble fingers
and much good taste among our littlepeo-
pie Some Of the favored ones received
nearly dozen baskets and the streets
resounded with the shouts and laughter of
happy childhood. May the future of
those bright participants, in the pleasure
of this week, never be clouded by single
dark spot, causing them to forget the
golden days of youth and the May days of
1880

Yesterday Mr.. Jacobson's stable was
set on fire at 80 p. m. by some small
children, while he and his wife were al
church. When it was first discovered ii
was wrapped in flames, and before any
one could get there it was beyond rescue.
When they arrived from church a terrible
sight met their eyes, as they beheld a por-
ton ofthis world goods smoldering away.
Over 800 worth swept in one hours time.
Loss as follows One double team valu

yearling colt 500, one wagon $40, three
hogs $50, nine calves, for which he was
offered 500, one set harness, stabling,
hay. etc. valued at Sl0O Mr.. jacobson

have been burned if it had not been for
mother-in-law, whose health does not per-
NIT of her being away from home, but
she managed to get to the granaly and by
the aid ola broom swept away the burning
straw, for which he can thank the decrep-

which he is much elated. Mr.. Keen has
some very fine stock, which he expects to

THE NAYLOR TRIAL.
Eight For Conviction. and Four For

Acquittal.
The Sioux Falls Argus ''The Naylor
embezzlement case which was transferred
to this place on a change of venue from
Canton, has occupied the attention of the
court for the past week A large number
of witnesses have been examined, among
them being several safe experts, and every
inch of the ground has been fought over
desperately The examination of witness

ed their arguments, which with the courts
charge occupied the entire day and the
case was not given to the jury until near y
Six clock Monday evening, wheir they
retired and wrestled with the testimony
until eleven o'clock Tuesday morning,
when they came into the court room and
informed the court that they could not
agree The court told the jlTymen he
would remain in Sioux Falls until next
Monday and he thought that inside of a
week they could come to an understand
ing, and the jury was then taken back to
their quarters, where they are now dream
ing the happy hoursaway as we to 60 press.
The jury is a very intelligent one, with two
or three exceptions are Sioux Falls busi-

might be made.

Messrs J W Carter and Alex. Hughes,
and Mr., Naylor by the Messrs O. S. Gift

telegram, dated Sioux Falls, and received
at this office Wednesday morning at $50,

NO. 3.
How To Boom.

The best method of booming your town
is to boom it, says a contemporary. Boom
it witha big B. Ifyou have any business
let the people know it throughthe columns
ofyour papers Fill your papers with live
advertisements telling whereyou are, what
you are doing. This will bring you ample
returns in trade and show outsiders that
there is life in your town; some business
being done, and will convince them that
your town amounts to something and they
will naturally want to see it. If you have
real estate to sell boom it with a big B.
Don't be afraid to invest a few dollars to
let outsiders know what you have-de-
p ending upon, the few who may chance to
come along because it is these very adver-
tisement. that attract live business men,
those whom YOU wish to see in you towns
and when they see other towns and cities
largely advertised they go there and they
must invest there and the presence of
only one such man in a community is worth
to every man in it forty times over wha
his advertisements cost him. In very
large degree your newspaper are the means
Of Communication you hold with the out
side world If boom is written on every
line they contain they are attractive to
outsiders and they do the work desired of
them. If they are filled with advertise
ments from every quarter OF the globe ex-
cept that locality they are intended to re-
present what do they show? Why, simply
that the patrons are lacking III energy and
push or else that there is no business to
advertise. Every person doing business
in town is responsible in greater OF
less degree for the welfare Of the town
If he cannot see his own interests clearly
enough to induce him to advertise his bust
ness to the world, the world very soon be-
gins to see it in the same light and very
naturally soon begins to conclude that
there is no business there. The way to
have live town is to be lively. Every
city and town that has largeszed boom
on hand is reaping the sure reward OF lib
eral advertising. Towns and cities in this
great northwest are springing into active
existence every day and are let
ting the outside world know the fact and
those among them who are weak in the
back, hating, manned or blind will iueyi-
tably give way to the yigor and push OF
more enterprising rivals and go to the wall. |
Like hegets like, and if town is push
ing, active, energetic brim full OF push
and vim it will attract the like unto itself. |
Nor is this way alone the way to boom.
Public and private Improvements must
keep pace Money must not be counted |
as lost when invested in important public
for these are they which |
give permanency to town and render it |
attractive to the stranger within its gates.
The way to boom town is to BOOM it.
