The republicans claim the election of Pow

Notes
In South Dskota the capitol question
causes the widest excitement. and there is
no interest whatever in anything else. Sioux
Falls, Huron and Pierre each have about
10000 votes and each claims the location,
but the result is a. deeply in the dark as Is
hours ago. The vote will be very Close and
it is believed it will require Official ecu t to
settle the question.
Another election will be necessary to
select the capitol of Washington.
