l.. Is. French of Yankton, who was
in the city during the week, will in all
likelihood make the race Tor the state
senate iii his county on the republican
ticket. If he does, he is sure of clcc-
ton. There is no ADLER man in Iank-
ton county than l.. b. French. and he
would make a record in the state sell
ate, as he has done before, which
would rebound to the credit OF his city
and county.
4 rather remarkable circumstance
was Developed in the trial OF the Aces

fOrcement law was one of the statutes
OF the state.
Editor Mallahan records the follow
ing in his Medalia Mimi Messenger
OF last week: \ sueak-thief entered
the summer Kitchen ut the residence
OF the Messenger editor, some time
during last Saturday night, and stole
the best coat we had, which happened
to be hanging in that room. Things
were thrown topsyturvey about the
room, but the coat seemed to be the
only thing he cared about Juggling off.
James Miller has been placed Oh the
populist ticket by the county central
committee to make the race for county
attorney. MIR. Miller less than two
years ago was admitted to practice
law, and we must confess that it is
hardly the proper thing-and without
doubt the voters will determine the
mutter-that Mr.. Miller's experience
has not been sufficient to cntitle him
to ill the important position of county
attorney.

Mr.. James Conway, the gentlemanly
proprietor of the Tremout house, hav-
ing become thoroughly convinced that
! the hotel Accommodations OF Elk Point
are not sufficient to meet the demands
OF the trade, has decided to add to the
fremont an addition equally as large
rs the present building. Along with

without doubt the public will appreci-
