SOUTH DAKOTA.
South Dakota. will have 8 state fair
for the next six years, and Sioux Falls
will be the location of it. The enterpris-
ing people there competed with Mitchell
and other towns for the privilege and
secured it by agreeing to pay the per
diem and mileage and expenses of meet
ings Of the board of agriculture, also all
expenses for printing aud advertising,
also to furnish the necessary buildings
and keep the same in repair, and to pay
to the board 81 500 in cash the first year
and 81 900 in cash each year thereafter.
The next best bid was that of Mitchell
which offered to pay the expenses of the
fair for two years for the privilege of
getting it the other four. I.
Numerous queer instances have been
brought to light at Chamberlain in con-
nection with the seed grain distribution
and relief for the poor throughout the
South Dakota counties where the work
is going on. In Jerauld county one
man, after trading out an order given
him by one of the county commissioners,
went to store. and paid cash for $50
worth Of stuff, including $40 cloak for
his wife and S. cap for himself. An
other man told a apitiful tale, got an order
for some -four and beans, and at the
same time had bill Of lading in his
pocket for 200 pounds Of flour and gro
ceries that he had rdered shipped to him
from another distributing point. In
Alexandria one man got an order for coal
from the county board, and when he came
to get it, complained OF the quality; he
he wanted Ohio coal. He asked the
difference in price between Iowa and
Ohio coal, and, On being informed, calmly
paid for and took the Ohio A good
many queer things have transpired
in this county during the distrlbu-
tion Of these goods As an illustration,
one farmer who haunted the relief com.
mittee for days and finally got some
coal, went into one OF the banks q short
time later and laid down . s2O gold plecs
Ito cave the interest on his personal
property tax. It is also reported IN some
quarters that some Of the seed grain
issued has already been taken 70 mill q
