A. A. Bartlett returned last night from
a long abserce in Arkansas, Oklahoma,

teresting descriptions of the country to
give. According to his account immi-
grafton is tending thitherward rapidly.

their oldest child, a lovely daughter Of
ten summers, from scarlet fever, Mon

Mitchell Republican, %: There seems
to be an organized movement in this
town to steal valuable bird dogs. Clerk
OF the Court johnson, Frank Baugi,man
and several other owners OF blooded
stock have been victimized but az dogs
are not property in this state, the only
remedy seems to be to lay for the thief
and fill him full of fine shot or something.
VIM. Tobin and Glenn Farley went TO
Sioux Falls to-day TO attend the meeting
OF the democratic state central COM
mittee, which decides the apportionment
time and place OF holding the next
state convention OF that party. Barney
O'Neil, Of Howard, s. A. Ramsey, of
Woonsocket and other prominent demo-
Gratis were also aboard the train with the
same destination in view.
The first Light OF the Midway Plias-
ance, judging from the favorable COM
meuts passed upon it, has proved q
grand success both as an ingenious dis
play and q profitable venture. The re-
ceipts OF the evening were very nearly
500 hence the attendance must have
been very large and the prestige gained
will doubtless insure another large at
tendance to night. The unique repro
duction Of many of the original Midway
is something marvellous and the ladies
are deserving of the highest ecomiums
that can be passed upon them.
Sioux Falls Argus Leader, %: There
Is too much namby-pambyism among
the news papers OF South Dakota.
Doubtless they do more for the promo
ton OF the states prosperity than any
other force, bat it is their duty to do it,
it is 70 their personal interest. They do
just as any other thoughtful citizen does.
And in so doing they undoubtedly OBJ
tain much support which they would not
otherwise get. But they have no more
claim on the community for patronage
than has q merchant or lawyer whose
enterprise helps a city to grow or a real
estate agent who brings immigrants onto
the farms. The best rule is ''every tub
must stand on its own bottom"

Minnesota q short time will come to
Madison, arriving at a date OF which /
will notify YOU. Dir. Hudson, the monied
mogul of the gold mines in which w. f.
Smith is interested, left here the first
week in April for the Black Hills to see
for himself. w. H. Jones is still in
London, and I think he will be there
for some time yet before he finishes the
business in which he is interested" 1t
10 understood Mr.. Mckay and family
win remain in this country permanently.
