The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-02-15

Sioux city Journal, IA: Some South
Dakota populists are trying to create
trouble in the state by claiming that
the manner OF the selection Of judges is
irregular. Attention is called to the
fact that two OF the three members Of
the governor in the. manner usual
in filling ~vancancies, and that
thew took their offices without
there being any confirmation by q sem
ate or other body. In a letter to the
editor of the Deadwood Independent
Attorney Kennedy, OF Canton, says;
1.-The constitution of the United States
requires that all the states shall adopt q
constitution which is republican in form
and the thought suggests itself to me
that q form Of government which would
allow the entire judiciary OF the state, IN
possible emergencies, to be the creature
Of the governor, and that the Legislature
| of the state has no power to in any
manner participate in the creation OF the
Judges when the vacancies between
regular appointed elections occur, Their
we have not a republican form o.
government, but a government by on
man called a governor. 1.-THE msjorit!
lot the supreme court can be the creature
OF the governor alone, without any adyic'
either OF the people or the legislature,
is an appalling position in which to plac
a free and independent people,"
The matter is really not SO sppallln
rs at first it might seem, because in low
and nearly all other states o
tne bench are tiled at once by appoint
ment OF the governor, and this bas nc
suggested to others the idea that r.
publican institutions are thereb
endangered.

Fire broke out at the house of
George Stineman, on East Street at
about 7.3o on Monday night. The
alarm was sounded and the lower end
of East Street soon became perfect
jam of people. The fire started by
an explosion of coal oil lamp, which
was knocked off the table while Mrs.
Stineman was ironing, and by the
time assistance reached the house,
the fire had got pretty good start.
1t was soon outcned however, before
it had done great deal of damage,
nothing being hurt very much except
ing the kitchen.

made enough of the medicine, (Which
he claimed would cure most anything
to last him awhile, he left the house

against any possible adverse result of
the suit. The American News Com
pany themselves have been sued by

patents, and an injunction has been
recently obtained against them by Mr..

consent of the defendant and not upon
any proof or evidence deduced in a

Three weeks ago Stella, the "a
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Smith, of Lock Haven, was bit
ten by the old house cat. The girl
was playing with several kittens when
the mother jumped at her and buried
its teeth in the forehnger of the girls
right hand. Three days later, the old
cat showed unmistakable signs of
hydrophobia and died.
The bitten girl was, under advice
ofa doctor, placed in dark room,
where she can neither see water nor
hear it running. AS yet no symptoms
of rabies have appeared, but the girl
will be kept quiet for at least fort
night yet.

THANKSGIVING.

Again the year has rolled around
and another Thanksgiving Day is be-
fore us. AS we call to mind the
blessings showered upon us during
the past year, do not let us forget
those less fortunate than ourselves.
The Ladies Union Benevolent Society
is still in existence, and asks the good
people of the town to remember the
thank offering as heretofore given, at
the union services, for the sole pur-
pose of relieving the destitute sick Of
our town. Last Thanksgiving Day,
this contribution amounted to over
fifty dollars, nearly doubling the
average of the last twelve years and
even that was exhausted before
December. We need one hundred
dollars this year, and if each one con-
tributing will call to mind what he
gave last year, and just double it this
year, the work will be done. Seven
teen families received aid from the
fund last year, and others equally
worthy, and equally needy, did not
receive what they should, for the
reason, that our funds gave out. Let
each one give (conscientiously) as
he has received from the giver of all
good, and the hundred dollars will not
be wanting, and no worthy suffering
ones will go unaided.

Chairman of Committee.

Native Miners Pleased.
Think Accidents Will Be Lessened by Dis
charging Foreigners.

The order of the mine officials to
discharge all foreigners holding re-
sponsible positions about the mines at
Ashland was hailed with delight by the
American miners in that section of
the coal fields. Almost nine-tenths of
the mine accidents that have occurred
the past few years have been caused,
it is alleged, by the carelessness Of the
Polish and Hungarian laborers.
The hospitals are crowded with this
class of workmen and it is believed
that the number of mine accidents
can be reduced considerably by en-
ploying none but American laborers.

for the town of Bloomsburg and the

country. 1t is thought that an ap-

will receive the commission.
