TO BEGIN a NEW LIFE.

Frank TrudeDi Secures His Liberty After
Three Years of Confinement
Friday night Frank Trudell arrived
home on the Omaha from Sioux Falls
where he has been confined in the
penitentiary for over three years, the
details of his crime having been pub
li5hed recently. He looks and acts
much the same as he did before he left
Mitchell and he seemed mighty glad
to get back again. His pardon was re-
celyed at the penitentiary Friday noon
by Warden Phillips, who sent a guard
out into the stone quarry to inform
Frank OF his good fortune. When the
guard approached and asked Frank if
he would like to 60 home, the boy said
yes and dropped his tools and started
for the warden's office. The document
was read to him, the necessary formal
tiles were quickly gone through with
and Frank was legally declared a free
man. He was given sufficient money
to buy good suit Of clothes and paw
his railroad fare to Mitchell. Frank
said he had for his cellmate no less a
parsonage than W. W. TAYLOR and as
Taylor lives little bit higher than
the other convicts Frank said Taylor
always divided with him, and just be-
fore he left the prison Taylor presented
him with 81. Frank says now that he
is free he intends to settle down and
make mansof himself and thinks he
will return to Sioux Falls to work in a
stone quarry where he was offered a
position before returning here.

WHAT THE CENSUS TELLS.
South Dakota Has Held Her Own and
Gained Some in Population.

South Dakota Has Held Her Own and
Gained Some in Population.
Although the census was taken by
the state under peculiar circumstances
is not particularly reliable yet it shows
that South Dakota has been able to at
least hold its own and slightly increase
its population. This, under the har-
rowing circumstances Of the past three
years, is something remarkable 1t is
an easy matter to hear of the people
leaving the state but the same public
ity is not given to the facts of the peo.
pie continually moving in, because
there is nothing particularly sensation
al about the latter fact. And it does
seem sometimes that people would
rather mention the people who go
than those who come and according to
the census figures these are in the ma
jority. In 1880 the state haQ q pOpula-
tion Of 320, 900 in round numbers and
the census taken in May and June in
creases it by about | 1000. The county
making the largest increase is Roberts.
up In the extreme northeastern part,
it having population in 1890 OF | 1897,
which has now been swelled to 1909
an increase Of 5,5l2, and the next in
rank is the county of Lawrence, in the
Hills, which has made an increase of
2,672, while our neighboring counties
Turner and Lincoln, increase over
LOO. Brown county has been the
greatest loser, its number reaching
2,Sl9, followed by Hand with 1889,
Hughes with 1864 and Beadle with
800. About 81 counties increased in
population, % decreased and three
made no returns for 1895. With irri-
cation success in South Dakota, and
there is no reason why it shouldn't be,
the unfortunate counties will retrieve
their loss in population and move
steadily forward and the more
fortunate will still continue to increase.
Give the land water and it will yield
a crop which will satisfy most any
farmer, and that will bring in enough
new farmers TO occupy the vacant
quarter sections in the state

Everything is serene and harmonious
on the chief Of police question now.
Since the council meeting Monday ev.
ening the mayor aud several members
of the council have been discussing the
matter and trying to arrange an AMIGA
bic settlement, This they have accom-
plished and the heretofore troubled
waters present an even surface. Thurs
day afternoon at four o'clock Mayor
Seaman met the Old soldiers committee,
Messrs. Robinson, Adams, Doty ana
hress, and discussed the situation with
reference TO the appointment of an old
soldier as the chief Of police. The
committee strongly insisted on one Of
their comrades being appointed and in
dulged in some strong talk in reference
TO the law on the subject Mavor Sea-
man said 10 them that he was willing
TO appoint a soldier and that the coun-
ell would now confirm any new man he
would bring up. This satisfied the
committee in every respect, SO that it
wasn't necessary for them to suggest
candidate. An hour after the confer
ence was over Mayor Seaman called a
special session OF the council which was
held in the evening. To bring about
the arrangement MIR. Hall handed his
resignation to Mayor Seaman who then
appointed w. H. Turneaure as chief
and the council very promptly confirm
ed the appointment. it being unani-
nous. The council was perfectly will
ing TO confirm any new man the mayor
cared to bring up and showed by this
action that they desired more peace
and less hostility and they say they are
thoroughly satisfied with the present
arrangement. The bills OF Mr. Hall
for October services and of his three
special policemen and also Mr. Rogers
bill were allowed, which cemented the
friendly feeling all around At the
close of the meeting a love feast was
held for a few moments over the result
OF the adjustment of the diffenences
The mayor was glad it was settled and
the council shared the feeling. Friday
morning Mr.. Rogers, the councils
chief, appeared at the auditors Office.

over the situation and said that he was
greatly pleased that the affair was set

toward any member Of the council nor
against Mr.. Rogers and would have
been satisfied to have appointed him to
the Office but under the existing cir

body will be glad to learn that the war

ception Saturday afternoon. About 75
invitations were sent out, the hours for

ly. Mrs. Beckwith's little daughter,
Miss Oracle, attended the front door
and ushered the guests up stairs where
the wraps were removed and then pro-
ceeding to the parlor Mrs. Beckwith
received her guests at the south end of
the room. in which she was assisted by
Mrs. F.. NJ. Hammer and Mrs j. r.
Gilbert and after q few moments Mrs.
j. O. Walrath conducted the ladies to
the sitting room. Mrs. n. c. Nichols
presided over the tea table and assisted
each guest to cup Of tea and a dainty

the pleasant afternoon came to an end.
The rooms presented a handsome and
inviting appearance, white chrysan-
themums being used exclusively for
decorations. Mrs. Beckwith proved
herself very entertaining hostess and
she was ably seconded by her assist
ants, who by their agreeable presence,
removed all restraint usually dominat-
ing at affairs of this kind. The sat
home" was a grand success and the
ladies who were present were unstinted
in their praises of the reception.

Kershaw saw that she was outnumber-
ed and gracefully gave possession to
the gay intruders who deposited their
lunch baskets until needed later in the
evening. The time was spent pleasant
ly enough until late in the evening,
when somebody suggested refreshments.
The baskets were brought out and un-
loaded of their good things, while the
merriment increased. Mrs. Kershaw
is one OF the leading members of the
Rebekah lodge, having been one of
charter members, and is also secretary
of the local lodge and grand chaplain
of the grand lodge. The visit to Mrs.
Kershaw's by the Rebekahs shows the
kindly feeling they have for the lady
who has done so much for the order.

sioner of the general land office has
filed two claims on behalf of the state

Y. NJ. and Y. W. c. A. Services.

Sunday evening the NJ. E. church
was filled by members of the two asso-
Citations and some who do not belong to
the societies. Rev. Mr.. Bradford de-
livered a sermon on the associations
that was very interesting. Miss Nc
Donough, president of the young ladies'
association, offered fervent prayer in
behalf OF the associations. These two
societies are connected with the Uni
versity and are beneficial to the stu
dents Of the college, as they furnish a
resort for Sunday afternoons and the
time is thus profitably spent.

oldest retired United States senator liv.
ing, and the contemporary Of James
Monroe, John Quincy Adams and An.
drew Jackson, is about com plotting his
long expected biography and will have it
ready for the press in few weeks. The
announcement will strike the country
with lively interest, for the epochs Gov
cred are so far back as to be fresh and
new to readers OF to-day, and Jones is
known to possess greater fund of per-
sonal "reminiscences of public men and
things of national note in that epoch
than anybody else now Surviving.
Unlike Senator Shermans new book,
dealing with statesmen both living and
dead, ex-senator jones' forthcoming
memoirs, which promise to be equally
interesting, will treat altogether of states.

is still very much alive. Though nearly
80 years old, he is in health and strength,
and his mental vigor is unimpaired.
