A Word About the Bolt Die Stock

No turning back over the threads after
it is once cut, is a prominent feature of the
" Duplex"
All mechanics agreeing that the turning
back against the cutting edge Injuries the
dies much more than the actual cutting.
When the - Duplex" dies become dull
by CUTTING, they can readily be renewed by
sharpening on grindstone. Thus max
ing the life of these dies longer, at least by
four fold than any other made, and at the
same time avoiding the common occur
renee of stripping or weakening the thread
and rendering the work worthless.
This tool when set" to any desired size.
can instantly be released and lifted off and
reset to same size without trial, thus in
surfing rll the threads uniformly alike. 1t
adjusts to all the variations in iron-rough.
diversified iron is shaved to standard size
and threaded at the same time. This can
not be accomplished with any other Die
Stock. The Duplex being the only tool
made allowing one set of dies to accurately
cut two distinct sizes-in the adjustment
no wrench, screw driver or any extra tool
being used-and when adjusted is as rigid
as solid die, and will do at least one-third
more work IN the same space of time. We
solicit comparison with other makes,
both as to range of sizes each tool cuts
and prices, as well as price of extra dies.

Cold. Hard Facts.

CaStlewood Republican; The fact Of
the matter is, Watertown does not stand
the ghost of a show for getting the cap
ital. The WATERFOWL capital talk was,
ut first, q scheme TO boom Watertown
real estate. No one had an idea that
there was a chance to locate the capital
there, but it proved such y bait in
catching outside suckers that it was
kept up. The real contest has been be-
tween Sioux Falls, Huron and Pierre.
Huron has gradually fallen out of the
race, so far behind that she is practical.
iy out of the fight, and the contest is
really today between the Queen City
and Pierre. A vote for Watertown is
equivalent to a vote for Sioux Falls, a
place which no in this latitude
ought to favor. A vote for Pierre is a
vote for the present geographical cen
ter and the future center of population.
These are facts, cold and hard, and the
people should consider them Pierre is
in the lend today, and is almost sure TO
be a winner.

Combine won,t work.

Dakota Exchange; The Woonsocket
Capital Investment company, which was
organized as a speculation, has created a
furry of excitement among the capital
aspirants on account Of the decision Of
its directors to invest and place their
votes in favor of Pierre. The stockhoid-
ers each voted their choice as agreed
and the understanding was that where
the choice fell the vote should be cast.
Since the decision n great racket has
been raised by the disappointed aspir.
rants and IA move has been made to
combine on some town as against Pierre.
The probability is that nothing will
come of il. If the company controls TO-
600 votes as claimed no city or combine
can control its action, and the individual
members will want their money invested
in a sure winner, and every day is add.
ing proof that Pierre is the place.

The Coming Capital city.

Bridgewater Times: II will be noticed
that the capital combine" at Aberdeen
failed to make a combination, and that
all the towns are conf dent of ultimate
success. Each is willing 70 endure
any sacrifice its rivals may make" but
none feels just like pulling out of the
race TO give its neighbor a chance. 1.
means that the situation remains the
same as Il was before, and that Pierre is
the coming capital city.
Mitchell papers were ~prophecying a
few weeks ago that rival towns would
soon begin to abuse their city, through
jealousy OF its success. 1t would be diff
ticult for one of them to excel these
same papers in their abuse of Pierre just
now, merely because the Woonsocket
Investment company has seen ft to To-
cate there.
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1889-09-28

Woonsocket Times: The company
accepted the proposition of Pierre, and
now the disappointed cities are kicking
and saying all sorts of pretty things
about the corporation that less than u
week ago was their very ideal and today
would have won the enconium of the
press and people of any of the disap-
pointed cities il IL had but decided In its
favor. OF course these Immediately
pure candidate cities who having so mi
raculoUsly escaped being stigmatized by
the support of this corrupt" company,
who would ''first organize, then sell,
then attempt to deliver the votes of q
number OF c~itizer.s OF South Dakota-did
they not know these things when they
sought the favor of this corporation?
Oh, no! They just simply offered vast
tracks OF land and fabulous sums Of
money for the c~ompany's pure, simple,
undeiiled yote-not the vote that was
purchased by u $40 share. But please
let US remark that thse same candidates
who are now finding so much fraud con-
nected with this corporation, and who
are SO solicitou5 for the "unsuspec.:.ag
stakeholder are the very oues who
were entirly familiar with the modus
operandi OF the concern, and have lain
on the trail of the company and strained
| every nerve to gain the very vote that
| they are now so universally .ienouncing
as fraudulent and which, they assert.
II allowed To succeed, would s.tarnish'
the fair name Of South Dakota

Pierre SILL Unshaken.

Aberdeen News: For two days the
city has been crowded with the iniuen.
tial citizens of most of the cities inter.
ested in he contest for temporary CAPT
tai. When it became known that the
Capital Investment company had decid.
ed that its stockholders should cast their
vote for Pierre, the other cities strug.
Cling for the prize became alarmed. In
response to telegraphic invitations, doz.
ems of delegates and scores of citizens
from the various cities came TO Aber-
deem as n neutral and convenient point
to consult on the situation. The details
of the maDeuvers, rs far rs they could
be ascertained from the secrecy thrown
around them, have been published in
the News. 1t is safe To say that practic-
ally nothing has been accomplished.
Pierre, so far, stands apparently nm
shaken by the storm. No n repre-
sented her in the gathering. What may
t%ranspire in the future is II mere o n
lecture. Ii is probable that all compel
itors will make common against
Pierre. The situation now is the field
against Pierre.

The Field still I'm.

Aberdeen Pioneer: Aberdeen had =
large delegation of distinguished visitors
within her gates for three or four days.
A major portion Of these gentlemen
were drawn here through n call for y
conference of delegates representing
most of the towns seeking capital hon
ors. We have heard so much capital
talk and have become so tired Of the sub
iect that we are not going TO waste our
time or space to report all that has been
said at any of these meetings, let it suf-
flee to say that it is presumed from all
surface indications that the object of the
meeting was 10 enter into some combin-
alton by which TO defeat Peerless
Pierre" over on the Muddy. Ii is the
field against her but at this time 1t is ev-
ident that the field" is still in the field
none Of the candidates appear to be will
ling TO sacrifice their prospects by pull
ing out to support another.

Investors Guide (Scotland): ANY
thing to beat Pierre" This is now the
cry of the capital pollywogs who find
that their tails are not long enough to
wbiggle them out of the soup 10 the
transparent top of the capital cauldron.
They strained their promises and money
bags beyond their means of redemption,
so when il came to purchase the syndi-
cate to make sure the highest bidder for
its influence successful, they could not
put forth another acre or another dol
lar. The syndicate, well aware of its
weakness standing alone, to get out of
the same bowl of soup, and To redeem
its pledges he'd to succumb TO Pierre.
Now the wall of the fallen aspirants
goes over the land, anything TO beat
Pierre Why Because She has
taken what they Ind for. She has the
audacity, after not accepting PROPOSE
tons from the syndicate, to accept her
influence without paying for it. Wise
men from each fallen capital met at
Aberdeen 10 beat Pierre-reviving the
fable of the mountain, which, after
much labor brought forth a mouse. Ii
reminds us of our early days when the
boys at school put up q job to whip the
teacher. They We're all ready 10 do Ii
bat the trouble WIS, who would put in
the first lick. Trot out your best cham.
| pion in this capital contest and we will
give her a setback that will unable her
| for any further contest for a temporary
or permanent place for the capital.

The Black hin. for Pierre.

Rapid City journal: At the present
stage of the capital fight, Pierre looks
like 4 sure winner. She certainly must
have considerable strength, for every
other aspirant for the honor of being
the capital look upon her rs their great
est enemy. The papers published in
the aspiring towns devote a great deal
of space to the capital question, not in
setting forth the advantages their towns
possess. but in abusing Pierre. Pierre
certainly has had the better of every ar
gument yet brought up with u view of
proving why she should not be the cap
ital of South Dakota. The Black Hills
country will east almost an unanimous
vote in Pierre's favor. The people of
this part of the country
have had enough experience in the mat
ter of travelling about a thousand miles
to get to a point two or three hundred
miles distant. When Yankton was the
seat of government, people having bus
mess ut the capital experienced enough
Inconvenience in travelling To warrant
them in not voting for any town for the
capital which is stuck in some out-of-
the-way, hard-to-get-at place. The peo-
pie here will vote for Pierre, because
they know that when the reservation is
opened, a railroad will start from that
place to the Black Hills, and within a
year or two will have been completed,
and then they will be in direct communi
cation with the state capital. Yes, the
Black Hills will vote for Pierre.

aImost solid for Pierre.

Washington Springs Herald: During
the campaign nearly every town in the
capital race have had representatives in
Jerauld county. They all say that the
contest for capital honors lay between
their city aud Pierre. Pierre being
acknowledged by each as second in the
race, it looks as though location at that
place is fixed beyond a doubt. Although
Pierre has had no representatives in the
county yet; still the county is almost
solid for Pierre. Our authority for this
was taken from a conversation we had
recently with "a Huron button-holer.
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1889-09-28
Virtually settled.

Aberdeen Appeal: The location Of
the capital is virtually settled. The only
thing needed to insure the success of
Pierre beyond question was the failure
of any combine of the other aspirants
for capital honors. The recent meeting
OF the representatives of these cities,
showed conclusively that it vas impos-
sible to concentrate Il strong vote on
any town but Pierre, and nothing was
done toward a combination against that
city. This is II natural outcome a. the
central city" has decided advantages
over every opponent, which is generally
acknowledged. Ii was at least n good
advertising scheme for the several cities
i'm the ~ace IT, remain there as long rs
there was a shadow of q chance of sue
cess. Further than this, none were pre-.
pared To go, rs the advocates of each
city was almost always ready to admit
that Pierre was their second choice.
The Appeal is glad to see Pierre's SPLEEN
did location and general advantages so
universally admitted, as it Will remove
much of the bitterness from the close of
the present campaign. The writer has
received considerable abuse for his sup
port of Pierre from a few supposed
~wiseacres, but can afford to forgive
them on this line on account of their
ignorance. Pierre's friends should not
relax In their iabors but work rs earn
estly "a If there was q doubt. Let the
majority for Pierre be a decisive one.

Tlseir Plan Wont work.

Roscoe Herald: Peerless Pierre" il
very clearly leading all competitors in
the capital race. This is tacitly admit
ted by the action of the other candidates
in meeting in secret session 10 devise
ways and means of beating Pierre by
a concerted action on the part of all
other aspirauts. Another thing was
tacitly conceded by that action, and
that was this: Perre's claims for the
capital are so strong that if she secures
the temporary capital she will be sure
to hold the permanent location. Hence
the determined effort Of the losing can.
didates 20 place the temporary capital
at some other place, and thus give a
chance for another fight over the per
manent location. The plan wont work.

Pierre VIII Garry the Banner.

Douglass County Chronicle; 1t does
beat the dickens how bad the capital
aspirants wanted the Investment COM
psuy and when they slipped up on get
It how they yelled fraud. From an IN
preiudiced stand We think the yelling is
merely advertising Pierre and the In
yestment company.
Anything to beat Pierre has been
the war cry throughout the territory the
past two weeks. Our candid opinion is
that Pierre Is too far in the lead to be
beat. Had the combination been made
ut Aberdeen and the contest narrowed
down to Pierre and some other town,
then there might have been some show,
but under the present layout, II way
of thinking, Pierre will carry the ban
ner.

Pierre's Defeat "a Misfortune.

Gam Valley Chief: The contest for
capital location in South Dakota is rap
idly drawing TO a close. But a few days
will elapse until the people will render
their decision. The Chief hopes and
believes that the decision will be rem
dered in favor of Pierre.
The farmers of South Dakota should
settle the capital question now, per
manently and for all time. What pos,
sible reason is there for desiring another
temporary capital? Has not Dakota
had enough of temporary f~oolishness?
Isn't il about time TO settle the question?
The city of Pierre is the only candi,
date that is seeking the permanent cap
ital. The other towns are only asking
for the temporary location. Pierre
offers ~permanency.
Let no voter be mislead. The con
test lies wholly between Pierre and
some eastern town-probably Sioux
Falls. Your ballots decide between
them. Pierre's victory Will be a mighty
triumph for Central Dakota and q glor.
ious achievement for every Missouri
river county, Her defeat will be our
misfortune.
Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1889-09-28
Unanimous for Pierre.

Woonsocket special Sioux Falls Press:
The Press has commented on the fact
that for first choice Pierre was only
slightly in the lead over Mitchell among
the stockholders OF the Capital Invest.
ment company, and that it lacked Il
good deal of having a majority over all
the towns. and drew the conclusion
therefore that Pierre was not the true
choice, etc. The Press. however, should
be informed that Mitchell's vote for
first choice was somewhat swelled by
about two hundred votes from Aberdeen
which all arrived the same day, all
written in the same hand, and it should
not be overlooked that Ordway Johnson
lives in Aberdeen and is a friend to
Mitchell. And again more important
than all, the second choice of the stock
holders was nearly unanimous for
Pierre. In view of this fact the chimera
of Il combine fades into thin air. No
combination can be made that can dellv.
er the second choice of these stockhold-
ers to any other place but Pierre. And
again the $500 votes cast represent that
many individual stockholders, not sim
ply shares of stock.

Pierre II All Right.

Queen City Mail: The location of
South Dakota's capital is at present at.
tracing more attention than the cleo
ton of state officers. The Sioux Falls
schemers have discovered now, when ii
is too late TO retrieve, that all the money
squandered on the Black Hills editors
20 secure their influence in locating the
capital at the extreme eastern border of
the state has been wor than wasted.
More than this, the schemers were too
bold in announcing the amount of their
corruption fund and the use they in
tended to make of it. 1t has blasted
their hopes in the Hills and thrown a
cold chill yer towns outside of the
Hills where they reckoned on getting
some aid. But the most crushing blow
TO Sioux Falls aspirants is the decision
reached by the Woonsocket Investment
company to locate at Pierre and use all
honorable means to secure the capital
location for that city. This company
was organized for the pun pese Of locat.
ing the capital, and has among its OFF,
GERS aud organizers some of the heaviest
bankers and realestate men of nineteen
counties east of the Missouri, and will
control not less than 5000 votes. This
movement practically settles the ques.
ton and gives most positive assurance
that Pierre Is to be the winner in that
race. The Black Hills will poll in the
neighborhood of 10000 votes, and pres
ent appearances indicate that nine.
tenths, IL not more. OF this vote will 90
for Pierre. The sole object and hope OF
Sioux Falls Is I get the vote of the Hills
divided, or In some way diverted from
Pierre, well knowing that every vote
cast for Chamberlain, Huron or Red
field ism effect one for sioux Falls. They
know that no one Of these towns can
get enough votes 10 secure the prize,
hence 1t Is apparent that Pierre Is tho
one and only place that Sioux Falls
stands in fear OF.

no Not be Trtcked.

Tyndal Tribune: The strength Of
Pierre is fairly indicated by the recen
attempt TO form a combination against
her by rival towns. These towns are
becoming alive to the fact that some
thing must be done 10 secure the desired
number OF votes IN October. No g
ment more convincing can be advanced
in favor of Pierre than the fact that
ii requires all the scheming and trickery
to overcome the sentiment in its favor
among the majority of the voters.
These towns well know that Pierre
would be the first choice Of the people IL
there was nothing done 10 influence
them in another direction. Do not be
tricked into throwing away your vote
for mere personal advantages bat vste
for Pierre.

Deadwood Pioneer: The long lead
Pierre has in the capital rac is begin
ming to have its effect on realty thereat.
Immigration has set in, the city's popu-
lation is rapidly increasing, and with it

pany, who owns II business block in the

realize the fact.

Combine Don,t win.

Claremont News: Rivil cities, aspir
ing for capital h%onors, seeing Pierre so
far in the lead, held two days session
in Aberdeen striving to combine against
her, but all TO no effect as the comblna-
ton failed TO materialize. This shows
beyond a shadow of a doubt that Pierre
is in the proper place for the capital
and also the choice Of the people of
South Dakota. These other cities know
it, or they would not be trying to form
II combination against Pierre. Their
trying TO form combination Is self
evidence of weakness, and also shows to
the people that they know they are not
the place in which the majority of the
people want to see the capital located

Backed With solid Cash.

Washington Springs True Republican:
Among the Jerauld county people who
have visited Pierre this week are Roth
brothers. These boys-shrewd business
men, Both of them-went, saw and were
infatuated, and invested quite heavily in
Pierre real estate. They have 40 inten-
ton Of leaving Jcrauld county but are
solid for Pierre for the capital, believe
she is going TO get it-and are backing
their opinion witt solid cash.
