slant aim of Huron to have the state di-
vided on this line in sentiment on the
question ofcapital location, but if that
place should succeed in securing the prize
don't you think she would take great
pride in being the capital of the whole
state, just as it's boundries are now fixed?
We think so. She would gather the least

motherly wings and sit down on it, if it
should be big enough, and cling to it

The Latitude Of a Place.

That the latitude of place is noe con-
slant has long been suspected, but it was
only at the end of 1889 that systematic
observations, carried out at some of the
observatories of Central Europe, clearly
established the fact by eliminating all
chances of error in instruments and OBJ
servers. Professor Helmert reported in
No. 2.9e3 of the Astronomische Ma
chrichten that the ATTITUDES Of Berlin
and Potsdam, which had shown no per
ceptible variation during the first six
months Of 1889, in the third quarter OF
that year increased at first and then
diminished, the movement continuing
till January, 1880.
In Berlin and Potsdam this decrease
amounted to from five to six inches, and
This variation was confirmed by observa'
tons at Prague and strasburg. the re-
snlts at the first three observatories
agreeing to within one-tenth of a second:
According to The Scottish Geographlca1,
Magazine the subject is to be discussed
ut the meeting of the commission for In
ternational geodesy, to be held in Frel-
burg. when, it is to be hoped, arrange
ments will be made for strict exam'na'
ton Of this phenomenon.

The Sioux Falls Daily Press makes

The Sioux Falls Daily Press makes
merry concerning our friendly adj
monition to Huron, about piling up a
mountain of debt in a fruitless chase
for capital honors, and says Pierre is
in the same boat. But Pierre has the
prize and is in honor bound to defend
it. She has greater resources also and
is able to MAINTAIN herself against all
Corners, as was satisfactorily demon
strated last year. Possession is every
thing. The people gave her the prize
by their own free will and she has
done nothing to weaken their conf
dence, therefore she will again, with
out any question whatever, receive
an overwhelming endorsement of pop
ular approval. 1t is in the air. 1t is
growing and even our facetious con-
temporary will read the handwriting
at an early day, if it has not already
done so.-Chamberlain Tribune.

Cannot tolerate Hurou.

Worthwhile Advance
While Huron is advertising to the
world that nearly one half Of the state
of South Dakota, is but little better
than a barren waste and fit only for
Indians, prairie dogs and rattlesnakes
Pierre COOS serenely on building rail-
roads, encouraging emigration and
doing everything possible to counter
act the false impressions that the HUI
ron Capital committee is trying to
make throughout the east. Which
place do you think has the interest OF
the state at heart? Say by your votes
that we will not tolerate the course
that Huron has taken.

conklin's Dakotian.
Last year Watertown was candidat,
lot the temporary capital of the stat.
ana much time and money was anon,
aur'ng the progress of the heated cam
pa'gn. Every county in the state had q
greater or lesser organization in the in
terest OF Watertown's candidacy, and b,
united effort and consistent, honest worh
11'o16 votes were secured to her. There
were SIX candidates in the field and III.
verdict Of all the workers for Waterfowl
was that honest competition came from
every candidate with the one exception
OF huron. Her record then made holds
good IN the present contest. Unprin
clpled Misrepresentation was Hnron,,
STOCK in trade then, as now, and it is the
almost unanimous verdict of the people
OF Watertown, that had she received az
fair treatment from Huron az she did
from all other candidates her vote would
have been augmented so as to have
gwen her second place in the contest
1t is well known fact that the Huron
capital committee for the last ten days
OF the campaign persistently sent out re.
ports by wire, scurrilous circulars and
special messengers, that Watertown had
sold out to other towns, and the result
was damaging in the extreme. The
wrath of Watertown has not ceased and
when Huron offered her q bride last
spring to keep her from again entering
the race, it only increased rather than
diminished. The paltry sum Huron of.
fersd is nothing compared with the loss
Watertown incurred from Huron's dirty
work last year. just think of it, &c.,
600 and worthless note, contingent OF
course to remunerate this city for the
great expense of last year. An insult
that will be rebuked by at least three
fourths of the voters of Codington coun.
ty next month. Cheek has given the Jim
creek candidate many things in the past
but she cannot get the permanentcapital
OF the state through any such "argu-
ment," and that is about all the s.argu-
ment" the Huron capital committee has
edited" this year. Mark the prediction
that Pierre will receive more support in
the territory that gave Watertown 49,
O76 votes last year, than Huron. HUI
ron is a humbug. Huron is hog.
Pierre is the peerless. Pierre will be the
permanent.

OfSouth Dakota's exhibits at the Corn
Palace, the Sioux City Journal says:
"There is perhaps no group OF exhibits
in all the Palace that gives rise to 50
much pleasant astonishment as that OF
the six South Dakota counties that have
sent samples of their products tn the
great harvest festival Of the northwest
Especially does this seem true in the case
Of voters from the east and south who
all their lives have associated the name
Of Dakota with the cold wave signals and
inflated famine reports and Sioux Indians.
These misguided ones stand in open eyed
wonder before the heaped up evidences OF
peace and plenty, and speculate as to the
possibility of these fruits, cereals aud
vegetables having grown osuch splendid
maturity in what they had conceived to
be the alternately frostbound and
drought-parched home of the blizzard
and barbarian. They zee gathered here
fruits, vegetables that they supposed
were peculiar to semi tropics, grain and
fruits that they supposed were strangers
above the parallel, and usually by the
time they have examined them critically
taken the affidavits of the exhibitors
that they were really grown in Dakota,
they go away feeling that they have
been unappreciative Of the goodqualities
of the big twin that made her bow to
Uncle Sans household less than year
ago."
Certainly no other department drew q
larger crowd than the South Dakota ex-
hibit, and, while no premiums OF prizes
were awarded, South Dakota is to be
given an official certificate that her ex-
hiblt was superior to that of any of the
half dozen states represented at the Corn
Palace exposition of 1890; thus will the
Corn Palace and South Dakota's ex-
hibit thereat, prove to be one of the best
advertisements the state has ever le-
ceived.

Yankt0n journal.
The location of the cap tai at Pierre
will add one Thousand miles of rail-
road trackage to the mileage Of Dako-
ia within two years, while its location
at Huron would not add a single mile.
The success and greatness of the new
state will depend largely on the devel-
opment of the vast area west of the
Missouri river, and nothing will devel-
op it so rapidly as the permanent To-
cation of the capital at Pierre. That
done, the state west of the Missouri
will soon be as populous as the coun-
try east of the river. The states best
interests demand that the capital be
located at Pierre.

NOT ABLE TO GET ENOUGH CARS M
CARRY OFF THE GRAIN

OAlSh4 OFF THE 6RAlN.
PARK1s1oN, Oct. 14.-The grain buy;
ers of this place are complaining On
account OF not being able to get cars
to carry of the grain they buy. al
Inherent times they have been COM
pellee TO send away many loads OF
wheat, not having room to store the
same. 1t is quite drawback to
starved out Dakota that the railroads
cannot furnish cars enough to carry
away the grain as fast as the farmers
bring it into the market.
The idea of the headlines placed
over the telegram by the Argus
Leader is evidently to ridicule the
idea that Dakota is in anyway starved
out or suffering. The fact is that
while some localities in the state have
suffered crop failure and some farmers
are in want, the state as whole has
raised a good crop and is abundantly
able to care for her own sufferers.
The appeal of the Brown county far.
mer's alliance, sent broadcast through
the press, is indiscreet and unmanly.
The appeal should have been made
privately to the state authorities FOL
assistance to farmers who have beer
especially unfortunate. During the
grasshopper trouble in southwestern
Minnesota Gov. Pillsbury took the
responsibility of relieving the indi
vidual cases Of distress among the
farmers out of the contingent fund OF
other funds at his disposal, and the
legislature afterwards approved the
expenditure and provided seed wheat
and relief fund. The governor o
South Dakota could do likewise an,
the next legislature would no doub
fully sanction his course and provid,
needed relief. This would be much
better than to put forth an appea
which conveys the false impression tt
the world that South Dakota is &
starved-out state.

Fat Men Galore.

BRIDGEPORT, Sept. 12.-Charles A. Nun son, the celebrated pie baker of New York, A. H. Wallace of this city and P. H. Mur- phy of Westport, were the only charter members of the Fat Mems association who were present at the clam bake yesterday. Each of these men has attended the annual meetings for twenty-four successive years. There are very few of the original mem bers now surviving. A person unac- quainted with the gastronomic feats of the fat men would have marvelled at the quantity of food consumed by Mr. Mun- son yesterday. His absorptive powers fully equalled those of three healthily hearty appetites of the ordinary kind. MT. Munson has all the abounding joviality of the typical fat man, and by his continuous fire of jokes and witticisms, sandwiched between generous mouthfuls, left his companions at table in a war of merriment. Munson had three interesting relics With him. They were copy of the New Yerk Herald of July 29, 1886; ccpy of the Sun of Au- gust l, 1886, and copy of the Sun of De- cember 21, 1869. The latter paper gives a full illustrated account of the first fat mems ball, held at Irving's hall on the night of December 20, 1869. As compared with the present edition of that paper the contrast is great indeed. MT. Munson was one of the participants in the ball men tioned, and highly prizes the copy of the paper containing the report of it.

ND wooDBRIDGE FAIR.
Reasons Why the Exhibition Wi
 Moi he Held.

Reasons Why the Exhibition Will
 #6s Not be Held.
 The members of Woodbridge and Beth any Agricultural society have held no an- nual exhibition for several years and do not intend to hold any fair this fall, for several reasons. .-5-,.5 .....
 One reason is that there is not extensive enthusiasm on the fair subject, as there was a few years ago, when a majority of the residents of the two towns looked for ward to the date of the fair with great an- ticipation. Formerly the exhibition days of the society were estimated by many of the residents of the two towns to be among the most enjoyable occasions of the entire year. In those days many vegetables and considerable fruit was raised expressly for the fair. Now the general feeling has changed, which partly accounts for the an | nouneement that there W i'll be no fair this fall on the Woodbridge hills.
 Another cause for not holding a fair this year is a disagreement between the | owner of the fair ground and the farmers, regarding the lease of the land where the I fair was formerly held. The farmers J think they cannot afford to pay the price ! asked for the use of the premises for a l fair.
 Jacob Beseigell who became dissatisfied with some of the arrangements of the fair before the last exhibition, did not make any exhibit at the last fair. As he was formerly one of the largest exhibitors, especially in the tent, the absence of his display was particularly commented on at the last show It is presumed that MT. Beseigel would not take any articles to the fair if one should be held this season.
