A special dispatch TO the Sioux
City Journal states that a secret
meeting of prominent Republicans at
Mitchell nominated a ticket for state
officers under the Sioux Falls consti-
tuition. The ticket has John II. King

ably a canard.
A scientist mentions as a remark
able fact that the locust will eat in
one day five times his own weight in
food. 1t is evident that the gentle
man has little acquaintance with the
genus small boy. Any n Of them
can do as well as that.
10. Andrews, who has for tie
past two years been a valued en-
ployee of the newspaper offices in
Plankinton, died last week. Mr.. An
drews was a young man Of sterling
worth and had hosts of friends. He
was the choice of the Democrats of
Plankinton for postmaster.
The Kimball post-otfice, like many
other offices throughout the country,
is out Of postal cards. The shortage
is caused by the failure of the con-
tractors to furnish the cards up to the
standard required and the refusal Of
the government to receive them. A
new contract is to be made.
Chief of Police Winberg went

pack up and leave. Franz set matters
straight by telling them obey vas all
darn fools"

their length and breadth for another
to draw up the papers tor his eject
ment, but they couldn't find one, and
of course he held the fort.-Pajates.

An exchange says: "Whcn a coup
lie are engaged, there is seldom any
sensible reason why all the worlc
should not know it." We will no.
undertake to pass Judgment upon Sc
important a matter, but we have NJ
hesitation in saying that ali the worlC
does know it, whether the couple are
engaged or not. Nothing, not ex
cepting the measles in a primary
/ school, spreads so fast as the news o
an engagement.
