Silcott's Detalcation

An account of the ne.-: cation and Il ght
of Edward Sicott cashier of tho Sergeant
alarms of the House OF Rep essntatives,
was published in the GILLETTE yesterday,
AS usual in such cases there is said to be
woman in the case. Persons IS 40 knsw Sill
colts habits do not give him good name.
1t is said that he Was Intimate with a dis
reputable woman BY The nsnoa CT Louise
Barrett, whom he had supported for some
time, and iJ WIS asserted that enc Is now his
companion. This statement 8 open to some
question, as IL is certain taat ;he woman did
not go with Silcott, d tboush it il true that
she has left the city. Toe real name of ST.
colts female companion is L 1uise Tblebault.
She is a French Canadian, llviog 10 @ lebec.
Last Tuesday she told the woman otn house
in which she had lived shat Silcots had ask
ed her if she would come out and live with
him after be had got Ice. ted in the west.
She tod him she would do So but that she
wanted to go homs ffst. l. is not believed
that she knew OF SlIcott's embeZz ement, "a
she said nothing Of it. Silcott also had tho
reputation of playing the races steadily and
OF lending money to his associates at tie
Capitol to back horses. Ga Saturday Lass
it was the go sip of the Sergeant at. arms
office that Silcott ha6g8on 81 400 from the
local bookmakers just beyond the city limits
The object of Silcott's visit to New York
last Saturday. it ia aaid. was for the purpose
OF collecting $4,000 from ex Congressman
Paige, of Ohio, now iivirg in New York,
which amount S;lcott had loaned him out
of the funds in bis CUSTODY. Il was neoes-
ssry to have this money in order to have
the cash balance wi en- turned over to the ip-
coming Sergeant at arms. The committee
appointed to investigate the matter was if-
formed last night that the total amount of
the defalcation would probably reach
$4,000

can clerk of the court of Scott county re
fused to sign the fl ;al certificate from that

the cause of the omission was entered on
the journal of the joint assembly. Inc
Joint session adopted resolution 10 appoint
a com mittee to 60 to Scott ana require lhe

clerk to appear before the joint assem- bly,
next Thursday, at one o'clock, and explain
his remissness of official duty. Inc sergeant

ing Scott county for both of these offices,
and the CITY of Alexandria for Lieutenant

Alexandria city, which is included in

Ter. When Alexandria is included in his
vote he will be ahead of Mckinney eight
hundred or more votes.

building was flying at hal f.mast. But, In
stead of doing 80, it seemed, If anything, to

Secretary Proctor being asked why the ueu.
al course of flying 1t at half mast at the
death of ex-secretaries of the department
was not observed, replied that Mr. Davis
wss not citizen of the country, that the
aSing of the flag at half mast on the occa.

y can be pretty safely predicted
hat the prnhih;t;,r .-.

y can be pretty safely predicted
that the prohibition amendment
will not carry in Nebraska next ycas.
-Sirux City Journal.
Whew! but the Journals tail is
down. Prior to the South Dakota
election the Journal repeatedly pre-
dlcted success for the prohibitionists
of this state; that prohibition couldn't
help but carry; it was such a g~littering
success in Iowa; it was ethe settled
policy of the state"; the idea that the
people were tired of it was preposter.
Gus; the truly good people of South
Dakota would adopt it, of course,
they came from Iowa and Iowa knew
what was good for them, etc. etc.
Oh rats! rats! rats! but the Journal
made ore tired. There was never o
greater farce in the world than pro.
hibition in Iowa, and probably no
one knew it better than the Journal.
But because forsooth the Republican
party of the state had gathered the
prohibit!onists to its bosom-made
their cause its cause-their life its
life-their hopes its hopes the Jour
nal as an organ must follow suit or
get out of the game. 1t defended
prohibition when the obnoxious, fan
atical law was on its last legs, aud
with its powerful influence through
out South Dakota was more largely
instrumental in fastening upon the
people of this commonwealth a law
that will become in time an intoler-
able burden and a curse than any
other n cause. "The people have
changed" says the Journal. So has
the Journal. 1t har got its eyes
opened-and one of the first signs of
the times it sees is that the people of
Nebraska had better not monkey with
prohibition.

The Sioux Falls Press is to be com
mended in its desire to have the leg.
islature lessened in members. The
Press shows that South Dakota with
100000 population has a larger legis-
lature than New York with 6,5oO,0 900;
or Ohio with 4,5oo,ooo; or Alabama
with 100000; or Indiana with $500
900, or iowa with 100000 or Kan
sas with l,5ls,522; or Michigan with
2,ls5, 500; or Minnesota with 1850
600; and double that of Nebraska
with her 100000. The GRAPHIC
was n of the first papers to kick
about the apportionment by the con.
stitutional convention-oh, we'll the
way things r run in South Dakota
-polltically-is a caution to snakes,
and until the two parties are more
equally divided we suppose it always
will be so.
