More Election Figures.

The Sioux Falls Press has figures on the
constitutional vote from thirty counties in
South Dakota which show the following
results: Total vote, 29,439; for. 26.s23:
against. 2,6lG; majority for. 2l,2o7. These
Thirty counties cast in 1883 Il vote of 48, S2S.
Us against 29,4S9 on the constitution.
showing that little over GO per cent. of
the normal vote got to the polls May 18th.
This would make the total vote about
$500. OF which it is likely there will be
SO. 500 in the affirmative and $500 in the
negative. If every voter who staid at home
should have gone to the polls and vo. ed
against the constitution. still it would have
had majority of 5000 OF s. 900.

Dakota Win Aid the Sufferers,

Gov. Mellette has issued the following
proclamation: ITO the Citizens of Da-
kota: The appalling calamity which has
befallen the people of Johnstown ana
ether cities in Pennsylvania is SO great in
magnitude and SO destructive of life and
property that we should not calmly fold
our Lands and feel that there is nothing
for us to do. No such destruction has
ever been wrought on our continent by
foods as that which has Just swept the
Conemaugh valley. and probably never
will again. When the food desolated a
portion of our country along the Missouri
in 1881, willing hands came to our aid and
did untold good in assuaging its damages.
l recommend that all contributions of
money for Pennsylvania be sent to J. M.
Bailey. jr., territorial treasurer, at Sioux
Falls, who will forward the same to the
governor of that state. A. C. MELLETrE. !"

WOman,s Rights.

Woman's Rights is question
which for long time has foolishly
agItated the minds of the thinking
people, and just now, We are merg-
ing towards Its solution. These
young girls whom we see daily be-
hind the counters, or studying for
high professions, are doing more to-
wards establishing the true rights
of womanhood than all the umbrella
shaking Susan B. Anthonys in the
world. The noble young girl who
lays aside her shrinking and repug-
nance, and facing stern necessity,
with pen, pencil and furrule, is a
champion of the liberties of her
world, as Washington was for his.
This is the great beauty of our age.
We are growing disgusted with af-
fectation and InsIncerity, and are
making our lives real. Gradually
the world shakes off her cramping
conyentionalities, like the serpent
his old skin. Fifty years ago the
young lady was compelled to keep
her hands free from all toll, no mat
ter under what circumstances. Now,
she boldly enters the lists of the
worlds workers, and wrlngs her
beard from the iron hands of toll.
All honor and glory to them. How
much grander this heroic advocacy
of truth, than the faded dreams OF
Woman's Rights, so-called, whose
aspirations end in the ballot-box.-

Missouri State Board of Agri-
culture.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Ocr. 10, 1889.
The 22d annual meeting of
the Missouri State Board of agricul-
ture will be held In Columbia, No.,
on Nov. 6, z and 8. 1t is expected
that there will be a large attendance
from all parts of the state, including
members, of the board, delegates
from county fair associations and
leading stock breeders and farmers.
An interesting series of addresses OF
interest to farmers will be delivered
by professors of the state agricul-
tural college and others, who
have made special study of agricul-
ture. The subject of the establish
ment of state fair and management
of county fairs will be discussed.
The meeting will be public and it
is hoped that there will be a large
attendance of farmers. We hope to
secure reduced railroad rates on all
roads in the state for the occasion.

MARRIAGE Failed that Time.

Secretary Noble has decided that
husband and wife cannot prove up
homestead entries to adjacent tracts
of land, even though they maintain
separate residences for the required
time. In November j. F. Tanning
and Lydia A. Lavener made ada
cent homestead entries in the Mo-
brara land district of Nebraska. In
the April following they married and
erected house on the dividing line
between their entries, and thereby
claimed to have established appro-
pirate residences.
Mrs. Tanning also proved that she
was careful to occupy the end of the
house located on her entry. Fan
rings entry was allowed and hers
rejected.

The transition from long, linger-

the individual. Such remarkable
event is treasured in the memory

health is attained is gratefully

heard in praise of Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restora-

Even s,nce we took possession of
our Office on Sioux avenue certain
people have taken a malicious de-

Then we warned the public to
let up or somebody would get hurt.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Editors Experiences With
Human Nature.

We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
WE ARE LEFT.-Fcr the past four
weeks our friends have been eagerly
pressing US to the nomination for
mayor on the peoples ticket. We
do not crave office, and are a very
busy man, but the pressure became
so great we had to give in.
Last Tuesday evening the city
caucus was held, and instead of be-
ing nominated for mayor we received
only three votes out of upwards of
sixty cast. Our friends were mis-
taken when they insisted that We
were wanted. Instead of being the
unanimous choice of the patriotic
people, we had the pleasure of see
ing Jerry Baxter, the meanest man
in town, given the nomination.
Oh, we'll, that's human nature
right through, and an editor fool
enough to 60 into politics deserves
to be driven head first into the tan
bark as we were. We have a word
to say, however. The Kicker will
not only bolt every candidate on the
ticket, but we guarantee to have
nine-tentEs of the nominees In prison
before they are a month older. Ve1e
cum grunlSi which is Latin for say
ing: Don't monkey with newspa-
per man.

A BASE CowARD.-Thei item in the
Chicago press of recent date that we
had been fatally wounded by judge
for publishing a slander was not ex-
actly correct. In the first place, the
individual was a cowboy named
Rose. In the next place the article
was true, and in the third place, af-
ter he had fired five shots at US, with
out touching hair, we knocked him
silly with squash which we picked
up in front of Sayder's grocery.
Then we stood on HIM for about half
an hour, and when he went out of
town, our brindled dog was chasing
him at a speed of twenty miles an
hour

A BASE FALsEHooD.-We have as
certained that it was Col. Kehoe who
started the story that we had the
proprietor of the Red Star Saloon
lynched by a mob last week IN order
to avoid paying him liquor bill of
S18. We encountered the colonel
in Davis livery barn yesterday,
grabbed him by the throat and back
ed him against the heels of a stag
mule, and between US and the mule
the colonel received q drubbing
which will last him life time. He
acknowledged that he WAS a liar,
slanderer and thief, and that his
course towards us was actuated by
personal spite. At that very mo-
ment lie had on our second best un-
dershirt, our Sunday necktlt, and
pantaloons that we never wear ex-
cept on holidays, and was in debt to
us for many other favors.
AS to the lynching, we suggested
1T because Tim O'Neal, the victim,
had fallen into the habit Of killing q
man about seven times a week, and
there was every reason to believe
that the coroner was standing in with
him on the fees. We should have
suggested stretching the coroner's
neck little at the same time, but
as he brought us In club of thirteen
subscribers we didn't think it would
look exactly right.
