ANNOUNCEMENT.

There has been another partial change
in tbs FREE Press, W. g. Yates rctir
ing from the newspaper aud continuing
the iol, printing business, while j G..
McManima and S Ct. Dcwcl continue the
publication of the FREE PEEsS. As Mr.
McManima must necessarily devote
considerable OF his time and attention to
outside matters for the next few months,
he will not ne able to devote much at
tention 10 the newspaper except in the
editorial department during tina, lime,
and consequently the bulk of The bust
ness management and that OF the local
department will dcvolye on Mr. Dcwell.
Both, however, have an equal interest
in the newspaper, and both expect to
make i, their life work to build up -
business that vii! be second To none in

The FREE Press has been cndeavor-
ing 10 secure 81 complete list OF the
members of tue legislature and the oc-
cupation, but so far have not quite sue
cccded. From the figures we have re
ceivcd we find that 81 members are re

ents, of whom are in the Senat" and Is

TORS, | miner, / miller, educator,
real estate man, ] gardener, . doctors,
and that are classcd rs farmers and
merchants. 1t is evident from these
figures that ut least two thirds of the
members are farmers, and that the
farmers are in the majority in both
houses This adjustment will give the
farmers al opportunity to shape l"gis-
lation, though it is not believed that amy

In the write-up of county officers in
last weeks issue the FREE Press mad
vertantly omitted the office of states at
lorncy, and the omission was not noted
until the papers were all circulated.
However, rs ii is "bettcr late than new.
Ell. the FREE Press now wishes to apol.
ogzc and make amends. The retiring
states attorney, l.. L. Carly, is Il man of
much legal ability, and possesses social
qualities that make him admired and re-
>pccied by all who know him. His
standing nj the bar is second TO that of
very few attorneys in the state, and bis
practice extends over quite q large mum.
Der of counties In retiring from the
office Mr.. Gail,y does so with the respect
and appreciation of his constituents.
The incoming incumbent Of the Office is
Il young man, but one who has won Ell.
vinble distinction al the bar, both by his
clo1uence and lhe zeal which he puts
forth in the interest Of his clients. This
county has usually been fortunate in the
selection of its legal advisers, and that
is the case now, with X w Stewart in
the office of states attorney.

WAS indicted into the highest Office with

South Dakota After being sworn in he
delivered an inaugural address which
was principally devoted to recommend
ations and suggestions as to legislation.
He recommended all appropriation for
a crcditable exhibit at the Worlds fair
in Chicago this year; he also recon-
mcnded that a sufficient sum of money
be appropriated to secure the state all
the public lands due it under the enab-
ling act and various other acts of con-
grcss; he also recommended that better
provision be made for tho inspection OF
oils, and of steam boilers; on railroad
legislation he takes a conservative view,
and goes on the principle that railroads

he presented the question of the cleo
ton of railroad commissioners, but
made no recommendation; he recon,
mended conservative course as to- APP
preparations for the maintenance OF
our public institutions; also made an es
pecial plea for the soldiers home. A
Recommendation was also made to i'm

timely, and most of his suggestions are

GovExNoN MELLETrI,> MESSAGE

The FREE PRESS presents to its read
ors this week Il supplement, containing
the last official document of Governor
Mcllcttc, which was delivered to the leg
islaturc on Tuesday. Like tll his state
papers. This message is an able and com
prehensiyc document, and in fact is a
complete resume of the business of the
state for the past two years, and the
present condition. it does not 50 much
deal in recommendation for future leg
islation, as in the operation of present
laws. and theoretically pointing out
wherein changes would be beneficial to
the state.
A careful reading and study OF the
message cannot but give any citizen Of
ordinary comprehension IN insight into
the operations of Il great state, and of
the conditions of its various institutions
The chapter on assessment and taxa
ton was evidently very carefully pre-
pared, after !, careful study of our pres.
cnt system, and his recommendations
are certainly timely and worthy of care
full consideration.
State finances are discussed extensive
ly, and much credit is given to the state
treasurer for his able efforts during the
past two years.
The article Oh our school and public
lands is commended for an especially
careful reading. Some interesting sta
tistics have been compiled relative to
the public institutions of the state. and
these are matters that interest every cit
Zen.
The Worlds Fair is gwen consider
able prominence and the work that has
been done is pointed out, as is also that
of the Russian relief commission. No
department of the state seems TO have
been neglected and the message will be
of much value to the members of the
legislature.
The FREE Press does not care to let
this opportunity pass without adding its
commentator to that of others, not on
ly in regard to his message, but in all
his work during the time of his official
connection with the state. TO Governor
Mellettc. He is a man of the people,
and has been an officer of the people; the
position of no person was SO humble as
to exclude him from his presence, and
all people were met in spirit that at
once charms and inspires confidence.
The people of the the state are satisfied
with the administration of Governor
Mellette. aud if his refinement from
public life is permanent it will be his
own motion, and not because the peo.
pie would not be glad TO honor him
still further.

Sheldon does so under favorable con
ditIons: the state is just recovering from
the bad effects of series of bad years,
aud capital is once more looking this
way; instead of people leaving our state
the tide is now coming this way; the re
publican party is in full control of both
houses of the legislature and should,
and we believe will, cooperate with The
governor to bring about II better state
of affairs, and correcting any errors that
may have crcpt into the laws orrcmain-
ed as a heritage from the territory, The
new governor has the best wishes of the
people of the whole state. and the FREE

SIMPLICITY IN LANGUAGE.
Plain Everyday Speech for Plain Every
Day Folks

What a pleasant thing it would be if
people would make practice of using
more simple language! Every little
while one picks up book or a paper
in which are articles on everyday top
les, the language of which is as stilted
and out of the common as a careful
scanning of the dictionary can make it.
There is something rather absurd in
the habit that many persons fall into
of using far-fetched expressions and
out-of-the-way terms to describe the
commonplaces of life. 1t does not add
in the least to the interest of a subject
if one has to look up the dictionary and
find out what half dozen words in a
short article mean.
One may say that it is in so much an
educator, but that argument scarcely
holds good. Simple, short words. put
together without effort and affectation,
are much more pleasing to a we'll
trained intelligence than the compli-
Gated and obscure phrases so often en-
ployed. Uneducated people can COM
prehend articles written in simple Ian
guage, and the most learned professor
infinitely prefers them There is
great demand for simplicity and direct
ness in all lines, and in nothing is this
more to be desired than in the every
day literature on which we depend to
a great extent for informa ton and en-
tertainment-N.Y y. Ledger

RIOT AND DISORDER.
Enemies of the A. p. A. at Kansas CT
Attack q Meeting.

Attack Meeting.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept e3.-There
was riot and disorder as the result of
the meeting of the branch of the Amer
lean Protective association at the hall,
Twenty-fourth street and Bellevue
avenue. last night A week ago at a
similar meeting several shots were ex-
changed between men supposedly Cath
Ole and men pronounced anti-Catholic,
and last night the A. p. A. asked
police protection. Twenty patrol
men were sent to the scene. About
sixty members of the A. p. A. entered
the hall, jeered roundly, but saved
from personal violence by the
presence of the police. One COM
pany of ten marched up and into
the hall headed by a man carrying
a shotgun, the others with revolvers in
their hands. Others who came carried
revolvers. The police did not deem the
weapons concealed and SO no one was
stopped.
The meeting lasted an hour and a
half. The big crowd of A. P. A. oppo-
nents outside was very orderly until
the A. p. A. IS began reappearing. Then
there were derisive cries, yells and a
general closing in of everybody. A. p.
AS were surrounded, with cries of
Kill him. Canes and umbrellas were
fourished in air, but no real violence
was done for time. The police began
stopping and searching some of the A.
p. AS, whose revolvers, if they had
any, were not shown. The men surged
down Belleview avenue, when sudden
ly six shots were fred in quick success
sion into the crowd.
There was a wild scramble. A man
named Brown. an A. p. A. and an en-
ploye of the Santa Fe shops. was seized
by the police with smoking pistol in
his hand, but he broke away and es-
capped. c, NJ. Reed. also an A. 2. A.
man, was seized and his pistol taken
away. He was started toward
the police station when the
crowd closed in on officer
and man and there was a desperate
struggle in which Reed received three
severe scalp wounds and the officers
shoulder was injured by stone. John
Connors, packing house employee, was
shot in the left hand, and Brown it is
claimed, fired this shot. The wound
is slight
Rocks were thrown indiscriminately.
A. p AS were chased as far as Eight
eenth and Main streets and stoned
without serious result. There was
terrible street scramble and many
were injured, but none fatally or seri-
ously. 1t was a narrow escape, how
