The council having adjourned until
Monday Speaker Carpenter announced
that he would entertain motion to ad
journ to the same date.
Mr.. Wright suggested that it would
be proper to relieve the anxiety of cam
didates for the clerkships before so long
recess. This was agreed to and at an
afternoon session the matter was taken
up after the receipt of a message from
the governor approving the concurrent
resolution providing for additional cler-
ical service.
Mr.. Barnes nominated Joseph G.

Chief Clerk Hoff has fine voice and
clear head. He will make a model
officer.
Of the ten councilmen who have ap-
peared so far, but three, Messrs. Kemp,

provided themselves with scrap books
and make diligent use of shears and
muciage in clipping items from the
territorial papers bearing upon the
session.
Councilman Nugent, who returned
last evening will be back Sunday morn
ing. His experience has taught him
that to arrive upon the day of session
is to spend day of weariness and dis
comfort.
The attitude OF the house toward lady
applicants for clerkships has been favor
able. The council is as vet unsupplied
with clerk of the fair sex. The repu-
tations of Dunlap and Edwards for
gallantry are tottering.
Probably no state or territorial legis-
lator in the nation has mileage to
equal that of Aspinwall, 1856 miles.
That is the exact distance by rail and

TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE.

South Dakota appears to have been
blessed with two thieves in her roll of
state officials. According to late re-
ports the land commissioner has been
stealing the school fund that passed
through his hands as the proceeds of
the school land sales and leases. .Asssin
the case of the treasurer the steal was
consummated through the carelessness
of other officials whose duty it was to
look after his accounts. 1t isu badness
and indicates a general state of demor-
alization in official and banking circles
in that young state. Now that the
horse has gone it is too late to lock the
door of the stable. but the thieves
should be run down to the last man of
them and equal justice meted out to
the gang. from the highest to the
lowest.-Lincoln State Journal.

The Washington correspondent of
the Sioux City Journal telegraphed to
that paper as follows: "Senator Kyle
today introduced an. amendment to
the judicial regulations for North and
South Dakota provided that the senior
judge of the circuit shall appoint Il
clerk of the circuit court of each of the
divisions of the district, who shall re-
side and keep his office at the place
fixed by law for holding court in the
division. This amendment was sug-
gested to Senator Kyle by Judge Ed
gerton of South Dakota. The object is
70 have a clerk of the court keep his
Office open in the town where court
meets during the entire year."
