tier, by Signal 1927. He is the sire of
six or more trotters from 2:l9 to 2:2O
and breed on.
The dam Of Mary, the dam of Cal
Kotch, is the High mare. Is fast
road mare of individual marit. Could
pull top carriage, with two persons in,
full mile in three minutes, but we are
unable to trace her breeding up at
present. it
Now by looking this breeding over.
you will see that Cal Kotch is from
a trotting family all through, and is q
trotter himself. He has the size and
style to go with it. He is rich bay,
16 hands high; weight, 1880 lbs.
Will make the season of 1913 at Tom
Tillson's livery and feed barn, at Mitch
ell, South Dakota, from April until
Jul Y Is, 1913.
Service fees are 1926. 90 to insure mare
with foal, $1,000 by the season, $1,000 OF
said SIS. 90 to be paid at time Of service.
Please call and look this young trot-
ter over before you book your mares, for
I think he will suit you. My brother
will have charge of Cal Kotch, so make
your arrangements for breeding with
him at Tom Tillson's office.

THE BRooklNes BREAKUP.
Brother Shannon shows Pluck and See.
Light Ahead.

Light Ahead.
Huronite: The editor of The RE-
PUBLICAN can count himself constantly
under invitation to sit at the side of
Brother Shannon" during any meet
ing OF the board, or at any other time,
and learn of all these things, and then
give them such publicity as seems to
The REPUBLICAN best.
MITCHELL REPUBLICAN: Well
speak to Gov. Sheldon about it. Per-
haps he can find a vacancy, so that we
can not only sit beside Brother Shan
non but can help him carry some of the
burdens under which he is at present
staggering just little.
Huronite: Again Brother Wheelock's
announced candidacy is sanotherremark-
able endorsement of the editor of the
Huronite. Before any nominations
were made by Gov. Sheldon we very
earnestly urged Brother Wheelock's
name, in company with the names of
Judge Moody, John L. Jolley, Geo. w.
Kingsbury, o. S. Clifford, Bishop
Hare, DR.. Shanafelt, and some others to
the northwards Of the same general
stripe. Our only objection to Brother
Wheelock is that he is good Republi-
can, when at least three men on the
board ought to be of opposing parties.
The suggestion of Staggering" is
hardly kind and "Brother Shannon
believes is not true. He feels that he
is getting on stronger footing every
day. The burden of added work, to be
sure, is sorely felt, as it came unsolicit-
ed, unexpected, undesired and unde-
served, on top of other exacting duties.
The first intimation this writer had of
the matter was when his name was al
ready in a pot boiling with war. He
is not ashamed to say thath he inherited
a spirit, which has entered since into
many younger and stronger men of the
Wheelock mould, which refuses to run
under fire. If a "hundred students, {"
and thousand ''citizens of Brookings"
were to sink the college grounds, and
burn the buildings, and swallow Nc
Louth whole, and eat up the hoss doc
tor and the buttermilk professor, and
sacrifice the blooded bull on the altar
of Fosters and Dawson's ire, and empty
the contents Of the seed house into the
paunch OF the sacred COW, and then go
off to Montana, we doubt il Brother
Shannon would be so disturbed as not
to come up confident and hopeful with a
proposition to replace the whole outfit
barn, college, students, faculty. citi-
zens and all-with a much better one.
We sincerely hope that Governor
Sheldon will keep Brother Wheelock's
ambition in mind, and if there is any
difficulty about the Vacancy" he
knows just which way to look to make
one-provided always that Brother
Wheeleck is to fill it. isb.a

But the pops Are as Hungry for Office as
l3.til " Any One. b.! ;.l.U94

i3.f'l st Any One. ~
Ex-Congressman Watson in Atlanta,
Ca, Peoples Party Paper: Then
came the oes election, the fateful
November 8, 1892, the day which saw
more crime, more corruption, more
revolution against popular government
or Aaron Burr ever plotted.
Ominous were the murmurs of dis
satisfaction everywhere. High rolled
the waves on the troubled sea after the
storm. Then came oil upon the waters.
Soothing assurances that Cleveland
would at once convene congress and
stop the tariff robbery. Promissory oil
flowing freely from such natural oil
wells as Colquitt and Livingston went
out on the surface of the great deep,
calming rebellious wave. Both these
able prOmisers vowed loudly and posi-
lively that congress should meet immedi-
ately after March q, 1898, and do away
with this eliminating atrocity" which
had made the democratic bosses so mad
last summer, and which was so remorse-
lessly robbing the people.
But, ah, me! the 4th of March has
come and gonel
What do we hear?
Is it the mailed hand of the demo-
cratic warrior shifting the robber tariff?
Not so.
What we hear is the easy and expec-
tant step of the hungry officeseeker as
he lightly taps at the anteroom door in
the White House. M5.l
Do we see the valiant host of the
peoples defenders driving before them
the entrenched forces of class lepisla-
tion?
Not 80.
What we see is the mighty shock of
hungry and conteuding democrats as
they push and crowd and struggle in the
executive mansion; and the sounds that
reach US are those of dem ocrats, wound
ed and worsted by other democrats, and
ever and anon the weary breezes, fan
ming away the DUST bringing to our dis
tant ears the plaintive cry, "Who stole
my hat?"
What does it matter now that the
people of Georgia are being robbed of
$4S, ,OOO,O per year?
Small is the Importance of that ques-
tion compared to the desire to get Joe
James an Office. 1aE
What does it matter now that the
Mckinley bill is the eliminating
atrocity" of class legislation?
Little does it counterbalance the nat
ional Importance of fitting Tinny Ruck-
er with an official title.
Who are the people, anyhow?
Why should we remember them, now
that the election is over?
Scattered on their distant farms, hud-
died in the darkened wards. they are
unorganized, and they are powerless.
Let them wait!
Let the ''robber tariff" squeeze them
to the last dollar; the bosses have got
s'the chance" they wanted.
Itwas "the chance" to get Office.

A Northern Pacific Project.

" WINNIPEG, Man., April 19.-It is an
nounced here that the railway to Lake
Superior, to aid which large subsidy
has been voted by the provincial legis-
lature, will be built by the Northern
Pacific and that arrangements for its
construction are now being made. The
road will start from Portage la Prairie,
where it will connect with the North
ern Pacific branch from this city, and
will be an important feeder. 1t is
thought that this is the first step of the
Northern Pacific to reach Hudson bay
and thus secure seaboard terminus.

We are free to admit that at the time
of John r. Diamonds appointment as
National Bank Examiner we were con-
siderably in doubt as to the fitness or
propriety OF it, judging merely from his
reputation as politician. His conduct
in office, however, has demonstrated
the fallacy of estimating man by
what others said Of him rather than by
a personal acquaintance with him. Mr..
Diamond has proven himself to have
been one of the best Of the many excel

A short time ago the Sioux Falls
Press went out of its way to cast slur
on ex-President Harrison as follows:
The Sioux City Journal doesn't agree
with those who believe Harrison will
be "the logical candidate in 1885," It
will aforementioned he was the candi-
date in 1892.
The Sioux City Journal in reply ad-
ministered the following rather pointed
rebuke,, which will be fully appreciated
in this state: iasHi ...s, a,s II 't,;
The Journal has said. and is willing
to repeat, that it is not possible now to
say who will be the logical candidate of
the Republican party for the presidency
in 1896. 1t is not necessary now to
speculate upon that matter. It will not
soon be forgotten that Gen.. Harrison
was the candidate in 1892, nor that he
had established himself during his in
cumbency OF the presidential office in
the warm esteem of thoughtful .Ameri-
cans. He was the logical candidate in
1892, and the pity is that he should have
met opposition within the party on the
part of those who subordinate the prin-
ciples of good government to greed of

THE fixed stars are suns. and each
may have its own planetary system.
SosfE of the stars move with a veloc-
ity of nearly fifty miles in second.
THE fixed stars are of all colors, vio-

ASTRONOMERS claim that the tempera-

degrees below zero.
THE moon gives out heat enough to
affect e thermometer and make a differ
ence of two or three degrees.
SOME stars are believed to be so far
away that z, Zoo, 900 years are required
for their light to reach the earth.
The spectroscope tells us that the
composition of the sun is nearly the
baIne as that of the earth. We find in
1t iron, silver, zinc and other familiar
metals.
TIE planets arranged In the order of
their nearness to the sun are: Mercury,
35. 392, 900 miles distant; Venus, &c. 1884,
