Sioux Falls MayoraIty Campaign.

Sioux FAILS. 5. D., Feb. THE
mayoralty campaign in this city has
already been precipitated by the an
nouncement of Roy Williams that he
is a candidate for the place and that he
will remain in the fight to the end.
Williams is now city auditor under the
Peck administration and it was re-
ported that Williams had gone into the
fight in order to retire at the last mo-
ment with promise of two years more
in the auditors Office. In letter TO a
local newspaper Williams declares that
there is no truth in this story. There
will probably be three candidates in
the field if not four, or more. The pro-
hibitonists will have candidate IN
the field, who stands good chance for
election with the anti prohibition vote
divided.

VIII Test the Ordinance.

SIOUX FALLS, :. D., Feb. flames
Hetily, a saloonkeeper, was yesterday
tried for keeping a disorderly house
and fined s75 and costs. His attorneys
gave notice of an appeal and in the
upper court will test the constitution"
ality of the ordinance under which the
saloons are fined as disorderly houses
The custom for the past year hos been
to fine the keepers SIS per month and
to cause them no further trouble during
that month, but no protection under
the ordinance is guaranteed or prom
ised and the ordinance distinctly states
that each and every day constitutes a
separate offense for which the keeper
may be arrested and fined. Even IL
the ordinance is declared invalid it is
probable that the saloons will keep on
paying the fine rs the police will not
let them run without it. Public senti-
ment seems TO be strongly in favor of
the fine system as the only feasible
way Of securing revenue out Of saloons
which otherwise would run without

fainting spell which seized him while he
was in his Office IL the Ledger building

that within an hour the patient was able
to be taken home. His physicians issued
a statement that Mr.. Childs' illness was
On attack of vertigo arising from i'll
digestion, from which he would soon re-
cover. On the following Saturday
night. however, the physicians admitted
that paralysis of the lower limbs accom-
panied the attack, which was in reality
second attack of apoplexy.

Gresham, Secretary OF State-Dear Sir
On yesterday at q 80 p. m. / received the
Hon. y b. Dole's answer to my letter o,
January !, requesting him ''at his earliest
convenience" to give me the specifica
tions contained In prior letter. His
answer is about fifty pages OF closely y
written official paper, and has
been delivered to me too late to either
copy or reply to in time for the steamer
leaving at p. IN. today. There Is one ex
tract, however, to which think your at
tention should be called, wherein Ii Is
stated "this government has been and
now Is subjected to the necessity OF in
creased watchfulness, and large add-
tional expense, which. but for such atti
tude would have been unnecessary"
In previous letter of December "a, Min.
ister Dole had stated: "The government
offices have been placed and still continue
in condition of defense and preparation
for siege ana the community has been put
inte state OF mind bordering on terror.
Ism" The emphasis above is mine. Some
portions OF the letters from
which these extracts are made
confirm the above statements while
others seem to negative them. With this
explanation, / submit them for your con.
sideration. The next steamer leaves here
February 3, which would place you in
possession Of Mr. Dole's letter and my
proposed reply thereto, about February
18th. Very respectfully,
ALBERT >. WILLIS.
The letter was transmitted to con.
gress by the president in a brief mes
sage without comment.
