The Bismarck investigation don't make much
talk here. 1t is beyond dispute that in 1882
when the capitol commission was receiving of.
fers for its location, all but one of the nine
towns That put in bids also held out pccuniary
inducements to the commissioners to locate the
capitol in their town. It is no secret in South
Dakota that money and lands have been posted
to buy votes for the capitol removal this winter

j: w; Raymond, the newly appointed terri
torial treasurer, entered upon his duties TO-
day. receiving from his predecessor in office,
A. H. McVay, $238. OO4.43 the balance in
the treasury. Mr.. Mcyay held the office fol
six years, during which time he has been q
faithful officer, and has made many friends.
He goes at once to Yankton, where he has
extensive banking interests. E. W. Caldwell,
audltor-elect, returned to-day from Sioux
Falls, where he has been for several days
past arranging his affairs preparatory to tax
ing up his residence at Bismarck. He will
enter upon the duties of his office this week.
q. L. Holt, Gov. Pierce's private secretary,
will be Mr.. Caldwells deputy. Fourteen en-.
rolling clerks are kept busily engaged in the
committee rooms in order to keep up with
the work. Gov. Pierce's duties are exceed
ingly onerous, the bills coming to him for
reading and approval being legion. AS bu,
three days are allowed by the statute for his
consideration, it is probable that severa
bills will die in the governors hands, among
which may be Pickler's woman suffrage bill
