The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-08-23

A Yankton correspondent of the
Minneapolis journal imparts the
following information, as semi
official:
The last and final slate agreed
upon by the old politicians for
South Dakota is as follows: Mel
lette for governor; G. G. Moody
and r. f. Pettigrew,U United States
senator's; John r. Gamble and
Charles L. Mccoy for congress.
We don't know who come un-
der the head of old politicians, but
we do know that this reiterated
talk about states is going to hurt
the men whose names are coupled
to it. IL there is anything the
people of Dakota really enjoy, it
is making football Of a conven.
ton slate.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1889-08-23
ton slate.

We protest right now against
the nnderhanded attempt OF the
Sioux Falls Press to arouse en-
thusiasm for Frank Pettigrew, on
the ground that fifteen OF twenty
years ago he belonged to a base
ball club and caught behind the
bat. Judge Edgerton himself is
not an active figure on the dia-
mond, but his son Will is one of
the smoothest players in the
Mitchell league; and they do say
out in the Hills that Judge Moody
often gets out with the boys Of an
evening and bats the tar out Of
the ball in a game of "work-up."

similar property in any other of the
adjoining the city is beautifully rolling
prairie, elegant for plating, so that
there will never he any lack Of suitable
grounds for public buildings or the ex-
tension of the city by additions in any
desired direction.
III. Mitchell has ample accommoda-
tions for tho legislature and state offices,
both in the matter of halls and offices,
and her hotel accommodations will
accommodate all who may have oc-
casion to visit the capital for business
or pleasure.
Mitchell is today one of the bright
towns of the Jim river valley, having
a population of over 1000 people with
superb brick business blocks and many
beautiful residences. 1t is on the main
line of the g.. M. & st. p, which is
completed to the Missouri river at
chamberlain, from which place it will
be extended to the Black Hills within
a year, giving the Black Hills the first
and most direct railroad route to
the east. The Jim river line of the
same company crosses the main line
at Mitchell, at which place the COM
pany has the finest brick round house
west of the Mississippi. The c., st. p,
M. Il o. railroad comes into Mitchell
from Sioux Falls, and lines have been
surveyed southwest to Wheeler and
northwest towards Forest City, which
will be among the first railroads built
in the state. The round house and re-
pair shops of both these lines will be
maintained at this city, making Mitch
ell the center for South Dakota of
these two great railroad systems. The
immense quarries of Sioux Falls Jas
per, red sand stone, and chalk stone at
Mitchell affords plenty Of stone for
building and for expectation. Mitchell
will make a capital city of which every
voter in the state will be proud. If
every voter at the coming election
casts his vote as his interests shall die
tate we are confident that Mitchell
will be selected for the capital, for she
is nearer the home Of more people Of
the new state than any other candi-
date town, and the nearer the capital
is to you, generally speaking, the more
it will enhance the value of yourprop-
erty.
Ashton Herald: Another feather in
Sioux Falls capital hat is that she sup
ports her home papers in this special
work, handsomely. Other of the can.
didate cities do not do this.
What's the matter with Mitchell
whose one daily and three weekly pa
pers show signs of the most hearty
support? The factis, no other town
in the race has so systematic a news
paper plan of campaign, at home and
abroad, as has Mitchell, and the solid
arguments which such papers as the
Alexandria Herald, kimball Graphic
Yankton Journal, Salem Pioneer-Reg-
lister, Harrison Herald, Spencer
Journal and others are advancing edi-
torially as we'll as the intelligent work
which is being done through the adver-
tising columns in every direction, are
making themselves felt in the conver-
sion of the voters of South Dakota.

now looks as though she were going t
be the winner.

Hon. a. M. Bowdle interviewed by
the Aberdeen Republican:
Chow does Mitchell stand in the race
for capital honors?" asked thereporter
OF Hon. A. M. Bowdle of Mitchell yes
terday.
Mitchell stands we'll. You see our
people confidently rely on the support
of Aberdeen in this race. Mitchell is
the center of population of all towns
east of the river, and her railroad facil-
ties are all that could be desired. If
we secure the capital of the state, Alb
erdeen people can leave home in the
morning, visit the state capital, have
four hours to transact business, and
return home the same evening. This
is probably one reason why your peo-
pie all speak so favorably of Mitchell.
Y Yes, our city is growing and improv-
ing in steady and substantial man
ner. The university building now in
course of erection will be magnif-
cent structure and is being rushed to
completion as fast as possible. 1t is
expected the school will be opened
about October 1st. The population of
Mitchell exceeds 1000 and its growth
the present year is extremely gratify-
Ing to those interested in the future of
the city. Well, good bye," said Mr..
Bowdle, 'and when you come down to
the capital, be sure and call on me-
and in the meantime-just remember
that the future state house of South
Dakota will be located in the progress
slye and energetic young city of Mitch
ell.

DEAR SIR: People i'll this section of
Brule county, who have been a little
undecided up to this time regarding a
choice for the capital location, have
come to this conclusions: They feel
friendly to Chamberlain as an aspirant
and would willingly support her If she
really had the slightest prospect ofsuc-
cess; but they hardly feel justified in
throwing their votes away, and allow
ing some town in the distant part of
the state to carry off the prize. Plerre's
claims are that We will get an addition
al railroad-a river road-if the capital
is located at Pierre. This argument is
all we'll enough, but we shall get the
river road just as quickly, no doubt,
if the capital should not go to Pierre;
and it is far better for this section to
have the capital some where on this
line of road, because it is easy to see
that we would then always be on
the main thoroughfare from the
Blac,, Hills east through the state. The
only town that this section can reason
ably support is Mitchell. She is COM
ing to the front in great shape, and it

The killed are as follows:
