Senator n [. Lowthian writes that
the published statement that he strongly
supports the bill 10 divide the judicial
district and create an additional one, is
altogether wrong. He has not given 1t
his support and is opposed to II on ac-
count Of the additional expense which II
will necesslata. He does not believe
any advantages likely to aecure under
a cutting up and redivision Of the dis
tricts can compensate for this extra eX.

many other people think the same way
The concert of the HutchinsOn's last
Monday evening was one CT the best
thugs that the Benson people have list

official was lately on his way to Pierre
from the southern part OF the state, and
having been up most Of the night be-
fore, was taking advantage OF the ride
on the tram to have quiet snooze !.
While dreaming OF the green fields OF
Grant county, and the old folks at home,
he suddenly woke up just as the
train was pulling out OF the station.
With that intuition for which be is not
ed and which never before failed
him he knew in an instant
that the train was leaving the
station at which he was to get off
and make connection for the
vest. Grabbing his hand satchel and
oyercoat he rushed for the car door and
jumped of. He had no more than
Strengthened up and was congratulating
himself that he had not been carried by
his destination. when looking around he
discovered he had gotten oil the train at
station ten miles away from his des-
tination, and that lie would have to
make that distance Of his Journey on
foot, which be accordingly did. We
would not have said anything about this
matter but some of the boys who saw
Jack doing this ten-mile spnrt, asserted
