A special to the Sioux City Journal
from Sioux Falls give the following in

from Sioux Falls give the following in
regard to the New ballot System.
A fact which has escaped general
observation so far is that the new
Australian ballot system will be in
vogue this fall. 1t was thought by the
legislature that the law would go into
operation at the next general election,
which would be a year from this fall,
but the provision requires "the next
election" and in November every
county will hold an election to chose
county commissioners. Owing to this,
the commissioners will have to prepare
booths and the various appliances for
holding an election IN accordance with
Tue secret ballot law.
A new feature Of the law is the
appointment of judges of election by
the commissioners instead of the
township supervisors and municipal
bodies. This fact is already attracting
attention and will result in considerable
wirepulling. There is but little time
left for the commissioners 10 get to
work, as the law requires that all ar
rangements must be made at the Sep
tember meeting.

DakOta's Divorce Mill.
The State Of South Dakota has of

The State of South Dakota has of
late been overwhelmed by people from
other States seeking for divorce.
The reason fo1 this appears to be not
so much the liberality of the statute
as to causes for which divorce can be
granted as the brevity of the period of
residence ninety days-after which
an application can be filed. The
obvious remedy for the evil would be
to increase the required period to at
least one year, and then to require
some evidence that the petitioner is not
a resident for divorce purposes only.
It is the plain duty OF every State to
discourage as much as possible the
formation of divorce colonies. Such
matters should be tried and decided in
the localities where the parties are
really resident, sua where the merits
Of the case are more readily arrived at.

Santo Domingo, the second largest
of the West India colonies, has follow
sd the lead Of Cuba and Porto Rico,
and by stroke of its pen becomes a
member of the American reciprocity
league. The treaty gives to this
c. untry another installment of free
sugar and coffee, and opens another
market for Northwest breadstuf and
American manufactures. The repub-
l,can program of cheap breakfast
table for the American consumer, and
a widening market for the products of
the American fields and factories, is
being carried out chapter after chapter.
Already one-half Of the people of
Sout America and the West Indies

HOT SPRINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, AUGUST H. 1891.
Shall We be Represented?

Shall We be Rcpresented2
Tue South Dakota State Fair will he
held this year at Sioux Falls, from the
2lst to the 25th of September. The
abundant crops all over the state, and
the consequent prosperity wall result
in this fair being the most magnificent
collection of South Dakota products
ever exhibited. The attendance this
year will exceed by thousands that Of
any previous exhibit. The opportun.
ity thus offered for advertising the
resources of the state will be unexcelled.
No portion Of the state can afford to
be unrepresented. This is truth Of
unusual force to the city of Hot
Springs and the county of Fall River.
The agricultural products of our soil,
the mineral products of the county
together with other exhibits from our
city would make a creditable exhibit,
and one that would do us vast
amount of good Shall we not be
there? The Board of Trade would be
the proper agency to take this matter
up and push it. A collection of the
grains and grasses from the various
portions of the county could be made.
Exhibits Of coal, sandstone, gysum, lin
the raw and manufactured state, brick,
manufactured stone, lumber, sand,
lime, statistics of our live stock pro-
ductions, of the land yet open to settle
ment, of the inducements to the hus-
bandman, and lastly but by no means
least in Importance to this city, the ad-
yantages that Hot Springs offers to
investors, health and pleasure seekers,
and men looking for business locations.
The STAR believes that the railroads
would furnish free transportation for
an exhibit as it is of importance to
them that an exhibit be made. If ac-
tion is begun at once there is ample
time to prepare tirst.class exhibit and
one that will bear rich fruitage in
practical results. Hot Springs and
Fall River county is not half known
yet and the more speedily we can
bring to the minds Of the people a
knowledge Of our marvellous resources
the more speedily will our country de-
velOp.

The Omaha Exposition.

M. L. Roeder, general agent of the
National Life Insurance Company Of
Vermont, who has been in the city for
the past week. is representing the
Omaha Exposition, which will be
opened about the middle of September.
Mr.. Roeder has been interviewing our
people, number. of whom have be-
come interested and it has been decided
to send a carload of specimens and such
other articles and data as will tend to ad-
vertise Hot Springs and the Black Hills.
The Omaha people are spending large
amounts Of money in preparing for the
exposition and are especially anxious
to have large exhibit from Hot
Springs and the Hills generally. Am
pie space will be allotted to South
Dakota exhibit and advantage should
be takea Of this means of advertising
our resources.
Messrs. Sidey & Moore will have
charge of the exhibit from this section
and their we'll known ability in man.
aging display of this kind is guar
antee that it will be we'll done. Much
interest is already manifested by our
citizens in the enterprise and Hot
Som e will be sure to do herself JUS
tice. The Elkhorn railroad is taking a
lively interest in the exposition and
will advertise it extensively. A rate
of one fare for the round trip from
points in Sonth Dakota in promised
and it is estimated that from three to
five thousand reople will daily visit
the building. 1t is to the interest of
everyone to aid in advertising our city
and all should help little in making a
creditable display of the resources and
products of the Black Hills.

prevailed in Windsor. Canada. last
evening. Citizens who have leaning
toward American principles and gov:
ernment decorated their places Of busi.
ness in honor OF the Grand Army of the
Republic celebration in this city. Min
lister Of Militia Caron was telegraphed
by Windsor loyalists, who were wrathy
because Canadians made 80 much of
what they termed I'D American
ism" and requested that he instruct tho
authorities at Windsor to remove dec
orations. flags, etc. This order was tel.
egraphsd to Windsor and the aid Of Es.
4ex county fusileers had to be called
upon. When Windsor Americans saw
that the law was imperative and they
must obey flags were removed, but not
until several squabbles, in which stones,
ETC.. were hurled. The burg across thS
river is quiet, and g. A. r. men who
were billeted there by Detroit's commit.
tee have came on this side.

the cartridge exploded. l had hold
of her ankle, and the bullet went
upward. Then l could not bear to
see her agony, and l fired another
bullet to kill her, to end her pain.
Amy sticks to the statement that
Christie loved him and would have
married him but for his shady past.
He says that the young woman al
lowed him to kiss her, and even re-
turned his caresses, but told him
she would never marry him unless
he told of his past life.
He would not reveal that secret,
for he knew that she would not
marry him then anyway, and he
hoped to win her love and consent
to marriage by living an upright
life and showing the sincerity of his
reform.
John NJ. Fuller, whom Amy called
up for the conference says: "Almy
said he had been here ever since June
IA, and that he had been to the
grove as often as twice a week. He
expressed the deepest love for Christie.
He gave me roll of papers and
a ring. l have not examined the
papers yet. Amy said when they
found the empty fruit cans on Mon
day, he took it into his head to leave,
and went in the night down beyond
Hartford, Vermont, a little way,
but he felt as ii he could not leave
the place and come back again"
He saw them from his hiding
place in the barn. He had full
view Of the house at the time of the
funeral. He says he has been about
the premises ever since, making fire.
uuent visits to Christie's grave by
night and moving about for necessary
food.
OF his second talk with Amy in
the haymow, Solicitor Mitchell says:
'Almy was hourishing his shoot
ing irons in a manner even more
dangerous than before. AS he put
them under my nose the expression
on his face led me to think that my
life hung on a very slender thread.
He said TO those within hearing:
Stand back, gentlemen, hold Nit
chell's life in my hand, and if you
wink I'll shoot him After some
reference to our talk at the first meet
ing he again asked me if l would
guarantee protection and a fair trial
in the courts. | assured him that he
should have both. He then called
again for John A. Fuller, who came
up where we were. After going
over the same talk again, he handed
one of his revolvers TO me and the
other to Mr.. Fuller l have since
learned that Sheriff Brigham, who
had secured position unknown to
Amy, had his gun levelled on the
parleying murderer. and was at one
time at the point of pressing the
trigger"
