Mrs. Orr w. Lee visited Pierre

Mrs. Orr w. Lee visited Pierre,
yesterday, and will return to-day.
John W. Carpenter, three miles
west, has invested in new header.
j. NJ. May and wife left for Clyde,
Ohio, the first of the week, to view the
familiar scenes of their old home.
The barley harvest has commenced
in this section, and some of the earlier
pieces of wheat will be cut next week.
1t is claimed that gophers eat the
big fat grasshoppers. We eshould hope
there was some good in the little ras-
Gals.
Mrs. S. +. Dempsey's ponies skip
ped out last Saturday night, and were
found in the western part of the coun-
ty on Wednesday.
Andrew McFall has invested in Il
new moving machine and combination
hay rake and seeder, and will cut his
own hay this year.
The proceedings of the Board OF
Equalization, last week, will be found
elsewhere, together with proceedings OF
the Commissioners on other matters.
C. ID. Schenck, station agent for
the c. & NV. at Holabird, has been
proven an embezzler and has skipped
the country. His shortage is sad to
be about 800.
The wind capsized Mrs. Ella
Warns house north of town Thursday
morning, but fortunately, Mrs. Warm
and her sister, Miss Ida Warnck, were
ont viewing the claim, and, perhaps,
thus escaped getting hurt.
Reports reached us of cyclone in
HYDE, Hand and counties east, Wednes
day evening. One man is reported
killed at Highmore and buildings Sc
riously torn up all along the path. No
definite particulars yet received
Section Is of law passed last
winter, providing for the collection OF
delinquent taxes, says "ltis further
provided that any parties paying their
delinquent taxes prior to October /
1888, for the year 1888 and all pre-,
vious years, shall have remitted to
them all penalties and interest due on
the same" This will give several
holders of property in Sully county Il
benefit.

each commissioner district as now
composed, with vote of 317, nearly
equally divided, and each having 50
per cent. of full average
The aggregate of the figures above
equal the vote of last fall, 1912, and
equalized in the various voting pre-
cincts and the amount of territory with
corresponding number of votes trans
ferred to the commissioner districts as
now composed, and is correct as near
as can be.
The two eastern districts have AL
votes and the other three 57l. 1t is
certainly the fairest plan of division
of any proposed. The eastern
district only has q townships more
than the Clifton district, and contains
considerable university land, while the
End district, containing half town
ship of university land, only has SO
of township more than this district.
The Onida Journal ought to be sat
isfied, but, somehow, it don't seem to
be, and is bea ring out its reputation of
being a chronic kicker. 1t has all
along kicked like steer against the
project ofre-districting and didn't want
any more commissioners, and is now
trying to kick its hat off with its hind
foot because the commission didn't
force two or three more commissioners
on them.
