ELECTION TICKETS.

Tickets as Big as Barn Doors and Ballot
Boxes as Large as Sugar Barrels.
Many OF the citizens here as we'll as
the politicians are beginning to talk of
the coming general election which
takes place this fall The fact that
the Australian ballot law system will
be in vogue first at state election,
lends interest as to what the outcome
will be. While many seem to ack.
rowledge that republican success is an
assured fact, yet there are not few
declare that laundering surprises are
in store for some.
Any citizen, if he wishes to, can get
his name npon the ticket for any Of
fee he may desire to run for. 1t will
be an easy matter, all the law requires
is petition properly signed, and not
at all numerously either. The names
are arranged in alphabetical order,
with the party whose principles the
candidate endorses set opposite his
name. Owing to this it will be a
matter of difficulty to determine the
regularly nominated candidates. Un-
less a person is thoroughly posted
and has an excellent memory he will

from the irregular. Insomuch as
there will be in all 100 names on
the ticket and that the voter enters q
booth, which only himself is allowed
to enter, where must mark an X alter
each name he desires to vote for, the
difficulty becomes apparent.
This tall the offices to be filled run
from governor down to oroadsupervisor
Nothing is omitted from constable
to the highest in the land, national
electors for the electoral college. In
consequence of this the ticket will be
the size Of a barn door. One of the
representatives OF the largest job
printing establishments in the state
said he had figured that the ticket
would be six feet long, if all the names
were all run in single column or three
feet if in double width. As to ballot
boxes, sugar barrels would have to be
used in some OF the large wards. AL
ready some of the county commits
sioners are making arrangements for
large steel ballot boxes to hold the
tickets. The election will be fraught
with difficulties and surprises seem
certain.-Sloux Falls Press.

Kerosene Emulsion for Lice on Stock.
Press Bulletin No. 13.
This remedy is likely to be generally
adopted as soon as its merits and tine
best methods OF preparation and ap.
plication are known. An experiment
at the college farm this spring was
intended to throw light on these points.
We prepared our emulsion after what
Is known rs the Cook formula, which
is as follows: in two quarts OF boil
ing water dissolve one fourth pound
OF good hard soap, remove from the
fire, Immediately add one pint OF
kerosene and agltate the the mixture
violently by running it through q
spraying pump with q small nozzle
back into the original vessel. In
three to five minutes the liquid be.
comes creamy, and if perfectly made
no free kerosene will rise to the surface
when it is allowed to stand few min
utes. This free kerosene, if present, is
disadvantage, as when applied to
stock it removes the hair, and when
applied to plants it kills all the foliage
it comes in contact with. In our expe-
riment, owing probably to the fact
that the pump used was out of order
and would not stand q high pressure
u little kerosene separated and roset to
the top. After waiting five or ten
minutes until it had all risen, we drew
out the perfect emulsion from beneath
the surface by means of the pump and
used in our work.
OF course the quantity of the res.
pective ingredients mentioned in the
formula may be multiplied by any
number. to make enough emulsion for
the work proposed, or to have sup
ply lett on hand for future use. The
proportions given are such that one
fifth, or 20 per cent, of the mixture by
volume is kerosene (disregarding the
soap, which adds but little to the
volume.) Before using, this must he
greatly diluted. In the case under
consideration, three parts of water
were added to one of emulsion, thus
bringing the proportion OF kerosene
down to 5 per cent. Even this was
tenacious and stringy when quite cold,
and we used it a little warm. 1t was
applied to stock by means of sponge,
and was found to be instant death to
the lice. 1t did not lnjure the hair at
all. A quart is more than sufficient
TO treat a horse, as it penetrates to
the skin very readily. Thus the cost
OF material sinks almost out OF sight,
being about 3-16 of cent for horse,
and probably not over 1-l6 for a
calf. Almost any cheap spraying
pump will make the emulsion.

WILL YOU HAVE 1T.
Brookings Can Get a TwineI Factory If
She Will Have 1t.

Brookings Can Get a Twine! Factory If
She Will Have 1t.
A gentleman in this city stands
ready to establish q twine factory
here If he can get proper encourage
ment. His proposition Is to organize
q stock company with a capital Of
$25, 900 for the purpose OF erecting a
building and purchase suitable ma-
chinery to make furniture and bind
ing twine.
The establishment of such an manu-
factory in Brookings would open up
q new industry. Farmers would then
be encouraged to raise hemp, which
can be done in paying quantities,--it
is estimated that an acre OF ground
will produce $50 worth of hemp.
One hundred men would be employed
at good wages. At least one.half
OF the employees would be married
men. This would add fifty families
to the population OF the city. New
dwellings would have to be provided
thus increasing the size Of the city.
The hundred employees and their
families would use large quantity Of
farm produce, clothing, groceries and
all the necessaries of life. 1t would
greatly add to the city in every way
and it seems as though the matter
should be carefully considered and
every property should be
interested in securing this manu-
factory if possible.

NEAR A MILLION AND A HALF.
Grain Shipments of BrOOkings County
Figure Up to 81 ,467 ,827.O6.

Grain Shipments of Brookings County
Figure Up to 81, ,467, ,S27.O6.
The Tribune has looked up as close
ly and accurately as possible during
the past week the shipments of grain
from Voiga since last harvest, and
ascer tanned the amount, aside from
that necessary for seed and food, re-
naming in the hands offarmers which
will be shipped from this point. The
following figures show the shipments:
Flax, " Observation-Disclosures. 102, ,SO6
Other grain .......................... 3,3O0
The best informed buyers and far
mers estimate that onefourth (31, 90
bu.) OF the wheat and and one-twen-
teith Is, 14O bu.) fax remain unsold,
which bring the total figures OF grain
for shipment for the season up to
2S7,246 bushels. This amount, at 73
cents per bushel-which is the fair aver
age price since Aug. 15-shoWs that
our returns in Vopa from grain alone,
is 5000, ,6S9.5S. In nthls statement an
endeavor has been made to be as near
exact as possible, as we were confident
that the truth was good enough, and
in this our readers will certainly agree.
Now, to 90 little farther. In this
county there are six other markets,
seven in all-Volga Brookings, Aurora
Elkton, Bushnell, White. and Bruce
some OF which will show lighter and
some heavier shipments, so thaG
Volga may be taken as shipping about
one seventh OF the product Of the
county. Therefore, multiplying by Z,
and we have a total for Brookings
county of 81 ,467, ,S27 .O6 nearly q
million and q hall.
As compared with last year, the
number OF bushels is more than
double, but, owing to lower prices
prevailing for the 1891 crop, the
actual amount in cash received is just
about twice that of the previous crop.
Then. to this, add the scores of cars
OF cattle, sheep, and hogs sold, to.
gether with the immense amount Of
butter and eggs sent eastward, and
the many good dollars received for
flax fiber-well, we are not ashamed
of one county of this poverty strick-
en- country.

it, or has desire to?-Volga Tribune.

The Acouittal of Baker.

1t seems that DR.. BAKER was not only ac-
Quilted, but at the close of the trial bad
something Of an ovation. If We may believe
the newspaper correspondents. and in q
long experience we have found that they
usually hit near the mark.
We take It, however, that IL was the
liberation of the public mind from a ten
sion that found relief in cheers and in en-
tbusiastio efforts Of the spectators 10 grasp
the hand Of the accused rather than any
disposition TO make q hero Of the Doctor.
We have known the same thing to happen
here. 10 will happen anywhere that the
bubble mind is suddenly released from q
great strain.
At this distance from the trial, it looks
as il the verdict Of the jury was right and
the newspapers had long ago foreshadow-
ed II.
The Commonwealth undoubtedly failed
10 make out its case. 1t was asking too
much OF jury that any one should be
hanged upon the testimony Of Mrs. Gil
n,EE. and that was about all of the direct
testimony that the prosecution had. Upon
this last trial the defence adopted new
tactics entirely and overwhelmed the
prosecution with surprise and confusion
when after examining few experts 1t an
nounced that its case was closed None
of the members of the BAKER household
who were present when Mrs. BAKER died
were put upon the witness-stand. and the
adoption of this course was equivalent TO
saying that the defence made mistake on
the first trial IN offering them as wit
nesses. The prosecution had already SUI
fered q serious blow in the disclosure OF
the fact that Mrs. GMlNEg had written a
loye-like letter to DR.. BAKER in JAIL and
TINT the marital relations of herself and
husband had been resumed since the pre-
vious trial. These reverses when capped
by the new plan of defence left the prose-
cution little to rest upon. SO the verdict
was not unexpected and as far as we know
Is not disapproyed.
BAKEB and Mrs. GuMER are now left to
? their consciences.

Let Us Keep Our Plants.

We take it for granted that the people
II Richmond will never consent TO sell
their wa.er-wOrks or their gas-works. And
he members of the Common Council have
1ist voted that we should own an electric
liant to light the city. Perhaps they feel
too, that they ought not to have permitted
the electric roads or any other street rail
roads TO pass beyond their own ownerhip
If them. Natural monopolies are not to
be safely entrusted TO the hands of private
companies.
Our attention was recalled to this inte-
resting subject, which we have often here
iofore touched upon. by paper No. so Of
the publications Of the American Acad-
envy of Political and Social Science.
This paper was prepared by MICHAEL A.
MIEKLESsf.s, of Johns Hopkins University.
He takes the ground that electric lighting
ismuch cheaper than gas. and uses for illus
tration street-lighting in Chicago, because.
90 he says, the administration of munich
pal affairs in Chicago, more, perhaps, than
in any other city Of the first-class, Is con-
Quoted on business principles. To mea-
sure light by candle-power Is, he admits,
not exactly fair yet II IS worthy OF men
ton that the cost per candle-power OF arc
lights IS 4 cents as against 81 per candle
power for gas. This, we repeat, is no fair
way of measuring results. We give the
fact as a curious one. We now give the
conclusions TO which Mr.. MIKKIEnS's in
yestigations have led him. In paper No.
81 he says
"From the figures given above II is evident
shat saving will accrue TO Chicago by the
adoption OF her electrlc-ghting system. She
viii be better lighted and her actual expenses
lessened. While she has been paying 100000
annually 10 private gas companies for lighting
her streets she win In the future be able to light
the same territory for q third OF that sum.
"Taking Il for granted that public lighting ii
cheaper than priyate-ior no private corporation
will be found TO undertake the enterprise with
out proat-two points remain 10 be considered
II has been objected that municipal ownership
Of elec,ric-lighting systems breeds corruption
and encourages ineniciency. Both Of these Oh
jections may, In view OF the results of the ex-
pertinent In Chicago, be dismissed with n single
sentence. Tho clectric-lighting service OF Chi

1t il singular with what pertinacity the
would-be owners of gas-works and water.
works and electric plants insist upon the
point that private company can do q
citys work better than the corporation OF
the city itself can do it.

What II Means.

There Is no explanation OF the vote an
tho House OF Representatives on Monday
on the silver question which can destroy
the fact that large majority OF the Dem
Gratis in Congress and elsewhere in the
Union are in favor OF the free coinage OF
silver. The Washington Post OF yesterday
says:
"There seems TO be no doubt OF the passage
OF the freo-slycr bill after It has been discussed
for three days, beginning March 22d. There
were forty Republicans yesterday In favor oil
consideration, but Of course oil Of these Will not
be for the bill"
Its passage will not change the fact that
silver will necessarily be sidetracked at
Chicago for even if both houses OF Con-
cress pass it it will be vetoed by the Presi-
dent. But as the bill showed such great
strength in the House of Representatives
it may be that President HARRISON may In
duce tho Senate to vote it down and thus
save him from the necessity Of writing an
unpopular veto message. There Is cloud
over the subject just nowswhich Will DIS
appear after the passage Of the bill.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-03-09
The Vote and the Veto.

The Baltimore sun is not pleased with
the proceedings Of the House of Repre-
sentatyes on Monday on the silver ques-
ton. IL says:
"Tho country. it Is TO be feared, win consider
yesterdays acs The act Of the Democratic party
and hold that party responsible Everybody
knows that the Bland bin cannot become law
at this session Of Congress. The Senate might,
perhaps pass II, though that Is doubtful But
even n the Senate should be 30 blind politically
as 10 pass II the President Is pledged 10 veto IT,"
The members OF the House of Repre-
sentatives know what their constituents
want. and voted accordingly. The people
will applaud them for that vote.
Nevertheless, the BLAND silver bill can
not become a law during the present ses-
sion of Congress. But the fact that two
thirds OF nine tenths Of the members Of
tue Democratic party favor free coinage
would seem 10 call upon the Democrats
who voted for free coinage on Monday last
70 say whether they are really in favor of
that measure or intend TO try TO nominate
man for President of the United States
who Is. they know. prepared to veto it.
The congressional elections viii come of
next fall. and this matter will be thorough
ly ventilated upon the stump.
Let US be for or against tree coinage.
Let us not attempt to mislead the people
into false belief as TO our position.

Our Own Plant.

The city Of Richmond owns its gas-wcrks
and water-works. and ought, Of course. to
own an electric-light plant. All natural
monopolies should belong 10 the public,
rays Professor Ely, Of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity To tie the hands Of city by long
contracts Is as unwise as il is improbable.
Nobody can foretell what sort OF lighting
contracts will be demanded by the condi-
tions of Richmond even ono year hence.
II IA certain that there are hundreds, not
to say thousands. Of electric experts en-
deavoring 10 improve upon the electric
lighting systems now in vogue. SO the
Common Council acted wisely on Monday
night in beginning the work Of providing
for the construction in Richmond OF an
electric-light plant under the control OF
the corporation; or, in other words. under
the control Of the people themselves. We
commend the Common Council for thus
placing itself where IL will be in line with
the front rank of modern city fathers. II
these works once get into hands not IN
touch with the public there will be DO
remedy for the wrong.
