THEY WILL VOTE.
The Residents on the Reservation will
Surely Have a Chance to Vote.

| The Residents the Reservation Will
Surely Have Chance to Vote.
We notice a special in the Sioux City
Journal which states that the county
commissioners of Brulecounty refused
to establish voting precincts on that
portion of the Sioux reservation west
of that county, on the ground that
they were advised by District Attor-
ney Porter not to do so. The commits
sioners of Hughes county established
voting precinctslin Nowlin and Ster-
ling counties after submitting the
question to District Attorney Gaffy
who carefully studied over the law
and decided that the settlers in those
counties were entitled to vote. This
opinion was confirmed by the written
opinion of Attorney General Dollard,
and no higher authority exists in
South Dakota than his. Now if Dis
trict Attorney Porter. of Brule coun-
ty, advises contrary to the opinion of
ATTORNEY General Dollard, there must
be something wrong in the matter.
We learn also that Governor Mellette
comedies heartily in the view taken
by Attorney General Dollard. Huron
is making a desperate effort through
her attorneys to have these voters dis
frauchised. Now if it is true as HUI
ron says that there are NO voters on
the reservation, why go to the trouble
and expense of having them disfran-
chised? They have already made one
effort before the supreme court to this
end. which was decided against them.
They arc at this writing engaged in
having another writ of certiorani
granted, asking the county commits
sioners of Hughes county to show
cause whather these men hava a right
to vote or not under the law. The eff
forts being made by Huron to disfran-
chise them shows extreme weakness
on the part of that candidate, for the
reason that they are afraid to have
their cause submitted to a fair vote of
the people, and think it necessary for
them to have cause to show that they
must disfranchise all settlers who
move away from Beadle county and
counties adjacent into the counties
west of the Missouri river. She will
probably fail again inner efforts which
come up on the 10th of the present
month, in which case it would seem
that her last hope is goAe. Pierre is
willing to submit her claims to the
voters of all sections of South Dakota.
and will cheerfully accept results.

More Artesian Wells.
in Tribune.

Chamberlain Tribune.
The deliberations of the South Dakota
Board of Irrigation that has been in SEES
sion for the past two days in this city.
resulted in this: To receive bids to put
down ten different wells in Brown, Sphinx
and Beadle counties. Said wells to be
six inches in diameter. To furnish allow
of 100 pounds pressure. The party put
ting down the wells to furnish every
thing and complete the wells ready for
use. For particulars apply to r. b.
Coffin, Huron, South Dakota. -Huronite.
1t is the settled determination of Mr..
Coffin, who is state irrigation commits
sioner, to confne all these favors to HUI
ron and vicinity, and the western part
of the state would never get smell of
an appropriation was made to assist in
this work. This is as plain as anything
can be, and if the voters of this part Of
the country should be short-sighted
enough to help Huron in her selfishness,
they would regret it all the days of their
lives. Why not give Brule county some
kind ofshow? The farmers in the east
part of the county, many of them, are
hauling water fourteen miles from the
Kimball artesian well, and they need
accommodation as well as any deserving
people in the state. The inference is
plain, they live in the alleged ''arid belt"
that is SO much spoken of in the Huron
organs and do not deserve considera-
ton. This is the size Of it and the
quicker the people realize the fact the
better it will be for them. They should
take measures for their own protection
and not depend upon Huron for any,
thing now or hereafter. Actions speak
louder than words, and the cloven hoof
has been revealed enough to show that
Huron knows no other region than the
Jim river valley.

in fourteen cases of young girls now
under treatment, the constant movement
OF the mouth causing too great strain
on the head.-Ladies' Home Journal.
Girls, if you would preserveyourm mental
faculties in their full strength, quit the
nasty gum habit and chew tobacco.
Your strong minded male friends do and
you know, if you should do the same
thing he cannot grumble, neither can
you notice the horrible odor from thar

our advice is to quit the nasty gum
hablt; smoke or chew tobacco, or drink
beer or whisky as they do, but gum chew
ing is too apt to injure your brain. See?

A blast fred by workmen on the Burling-

about four pounds across the gulch and

CA Mt SADDLE IT on PIERRE.

OdN SADLLE IL Wv AASASAs1S'
The Huron-for-capital organs,
having seen the error of their way
in slandering the reservation coun-
try, are now trying to saddle the
act upon Pierre. "Sad'll'' be their
fate on the fourth of next month for
their dastardly blow at South Da-
kota's progress and sadder still will
be the long and tedious years of
bankruptcy following; and while
we often have great sympathy for
a fallen foe, it is when her purpose
has been one of tenacity to princi-
pie, when he has been battling for
what he thought was right; not
when he would rob the poor who
seek to earn their bread by work
ing on the railroads; not when he
would ruin the whole land in which
he expects to live; not when he is a
traitor to the state he asks to tole-
rate his vile presence. We have
sympathy for foe who fights
boldly and manly to accomplish his
ends, but for dirty libeler, for IA
sneaking credit destroyer, for gang
of disfrancbisers, for horse blanket
bribers, never. These H-f-c papers
have made too many "brilliant' as
sertions about the "barren waste
and sAarid lands" tc ever palm a
single item off on the city of Pierre
and all their crawtishing only shows
to their readers too plainly that
they knew they lied. They are in
deed making splendid argument for
Pierre by this act and haven't brain
enough to know it. Give us more
Of this sort.

Failed.
Aberdeen Republican.

Aberdeen Republican.
The scheme of Huron to secure through
the state supreme court writ that
would disfranchisc the residents of the
reservation counties has failed. The
court has denied the application andhas
refused to lend it's aid to the Huron
boomers even so much as to consider the
question. The decision of the judges is
that the court has no Jurisdiction, and
now if those fellows want to distranchise
a portion of the state they must proceed
by regular and ordinary methods.
Nothing has bean done during the cam
paign to better illustrate the unfortunate
predicament ofthose desperate Huronites
than this movement. All summer long
they have been sending broadcast the
statement that no one is living west of
the Missouri river. This lie has been re-
peated SO often that they had begun
to believe it themselves, when the appli-
cation to the governor for the organi-
cation of the counties came like a thun-
der clap. 1t revealed even to their dull
understanding the fact that there are
settlers west of Pierre, and that they
propose 20 vote. Ofcourse they will not
vote for Huron which has slandered
their country and even denied their exis-
tencc, and the capital managers of that
village started the scheme to disfranchise
them en- masse.
This pretty scheme has failed and the
people of the state will show next month
just what they think of such dnstardly
tactics.
When the capital or Iowa was at Iowa
City and the move was on foot to place
it in more central part of the state,
the old settlers well remember that in
the legislature when the question came
up the western part of Iowa was assailed
as "barren waste" That most beau
tiful corn country was called worthless
and those favorable to Iowa City would
have the part lying west of thirty five
miles of Des Moines cut off from the
state, but on a vote the people said "as
near the center as possible" and put it
where it now is.
Huron papers are saying a good deal
about the one lone settler on the reser-
