Sure Of a Railroad.

In private letter to the editor w.
c. Walter, of Chicago, says that in con-
versation with North Western r. r.
official recently he was assured that
should the reservation be opened
which now undoubtedly will-there
will be no question but what Sully will
have a railroad, and that soon. 1t will
be the extention of the N. w. from
Gettysburg to Pierre, and will cross the
Okobojo at Clifton or not lower down
than Carson. 1t is thought that the
road will be run down into the Okobojo
valley from the north at Clifton or
above and leave it near Carson, where
there is an easy grade out to the South
The object of this company is to cut
off as much territory as possible tribu-
tary to the proposed Manitoba line
through eastern Sully to Pierre.
Clifton is yet destined to become the
metro polls of Sully County, though
the town hasn't grown much during
the past year.

The Superintsudency.

This question is now before the
people of Sully County and beginning
to be vigorously agitated. There are
several good men, well qualified, now
presenting their claims for the con-
slderation of the voters. The Potter
County 4nchor in discussing this
question uses the following sensible
argument in support of its favorite
candidate:
"The Office is one that should be
filled by a person of ability, as we'll as
booklearning Not only should they
be we'll educated, but should be pos
srsscd of sound judgment, and able to
give advice to school boards and
districts concerning difficulties that
may arise, and thus avert much trouble
and ill feeling. Above all things the
Superintendent should he good pen
man, gentlemanly in his manners, and
sound in moral character He should
he a man who will endeaver to work
for the good of the county, and the
interest of the schools, and not alone
for the size of his salary. He should
be teacher who is capable of giving
advise to teachers, lnstructing them as
to their manner of teaching, offering
suggestions here, and correcting errors
there"
Let the people of Sully see that such
a man is elected for the position in our
county, and we are satisfied they will
never regret their action.

John Stukey, a member of the
well-known firm of Stukey & McLane,
ranchmen, located on the Missouri
river in northwestern Sully, committed
suicide at Gettysburg by shooting
himself, on Tuesday last. He used a
rife, putting the muzzle In his mouth
and pulling the trigger with steel
worked by his foot. The ball passed
entirely through his head and out
through the roof of the shop. Death
was instantaneous. Mr.. Stukey came
to Sully county several years ago, be-
fore there was any settlement west of
Huron, except few ranchmen along
the streams, and together with Charles
4. McLane, his surviving partner,
started cattle ranch He was well
and tavorably known along the river
and in western Sully and Potter
counties. The cause of this terrible
deed is said to have been liquor. He
had been on protracted spree, and
being unable to procure whisky to
sober up on committed suicide. He
had been conducting a meat market in
Gettysburg, in connection with the
ranch, since last fall
