Drowned Himself.

Thos. Clark, an old citizen Of the
10Th civil district of this county, COM
mitted suicide on Monday of last
week by drowning himself in Caney
Fork river. He undressed, tied a
large stone to his neck and jumped
into water about twelve feet deep. 1t
is said that he was somewhat unbal-
aneed in his mind. His death leaves
but one Republican. voter in the 10Th
district. We reckon the old man
did get lonesome here.

county. The sheriff had John L..
Potts, a brother of Elem, in custody
on a warrant for the killing of Gus
Geer some months ago, and was GO
ing around with him trying to make
up a bond. John l.. was left in
charge of a deputy sheriff for a few
minutes, when Lince and Elem
walked off together. When in front
of the Central Hotel they were seen
to stop and parley for few moments,
when Lince drew his pistol and fired
on Potts, who fell at the first shot.
Lince then walked back TO where he
had left John l.. Potts, and several
shots were exchanged between them
without serious consequences. When
Elem Potts was picked up his pistol
was found lying upon the ground
under him. Lince claims that he
did the shooting in self defense. VIZ

PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS.

A Correspondents Who Believes in
PatronIzing Home 1ndustrIes-some
Correct Re .soning,
To. to the Press & Dakotsian:-l no.
tice that a number Of our neighborIng
towns are patronizing literally their
home papers for advertising purposes
this spring. This, it seems to me, is the
proper thing 10 do. Or course outside
advertising is no doubt beneficial, but
why not pay out this money to our
home papers? They are certainly doing
more than any outside paper for the
benefit OF Yankton and her citizens, and
much il being and has been done by them
without pay and without price. Bust.
ness men, or men in trade, do not give
away their goods, and would no doubt
feel imposed upon if your should ask
them to give You a pound of sugar or
bar OF soap, yet / have no doubt chat
in every issue OF your paper there is free
advertising enough done by you to pay
for o good supply of those articles. If
it is deemed desirable to boom our city
by extensive advertising, let it be done
through our local press, for thereby, in
my judgment, the effect and results will
befsr.better than to do it through outside
papers. Take your own paper for in
stance. 1t represents, or ought to OF
least, the business enterprise Of our
city. A boom advertisement in your
paper therefore would accomplish the
double purpose OF setting forth the
special advantages and OPP
portnnities for investments here.
and also scatter broadcast wherever SEM
q comprehensive index to all our bust
ness enterprises and show to the outside
world the extent of our business and
commercials transactions. Let rs boon
our own press, and by SO doing we viii
boom our country And city effec
tualiy than can be done in any Other
way, OBSERVER.

sioux City and Its Petty Warfare upon
Yankton-A RetOTt.
We are attracted 60 an editorial para
graph In the Sioux City Journal prefac-
ing q paragraph reproduced from the
Press and Dakotaian relative to the
petty warfare sioux City sees hs to
wage upon Yankton. The Journal says:
Tho Yankton Press and Dakotaian is
becoming violent, az of old, in mounting
it's unhappy feeling coward Sioux CITY.
The Yankton newspaper ought to quit.
1t ought to quit, for one thing, because
what it says in such evident ill-temper
is harmful to Yankton. Sioux City can
stand it Just as we'll as Ysnkton.
There Is cert ainly no violent intention
and we do not conoede any violent
language. The Press and Dskotaian has
quoted and commented upon On official
declaration, published over the M
Of a Sioux City committee, that
the tax payers of Sioux
Oity should vote the late three Ter cent
railroad tax for the reason that such Sax
would prevent the Manitoba company
from building TO Yankton-not because
it would help Sioux City so much, but
wonld ipiare Yankton. Was not that an
appeal TO prejudioe2 And if the preju-
dice did not exist, why appeal to il? The
Press and Dakotalan has followed that
publication with the publication OF q
few incidents of the outcrcppings of
petty malice in Sioux City and has sug
gested that the people of Yankton might
do themselves better justice than to
pstronize those who are forever stabbing
them. This is not violence. This is
not "m%outhing an unhappy feeling" 1t is
merely q decent defence. And this is
the privilege OF any newspaper in behslf
of it's community. It may seem to the
Journal that this is q good tune to q nit
Everybody here is ready to quit and in
fact have quit several times, but Sioux
| City maintains the old miserable stab
bing process and thus compels Yanktor
to resume. We have stood o great dea.
in silence, but there are times when i,
seems proper to protest.
