Candidates for the legislature in Sphinx
county on the populist ticket, beaten by
seventy majority. are contesting the
election. Dowdell, IN Sanborn county,
is contesting his republican opponent; /;
the populist candidates in a dozen other
counties are doing the same thing, and
all without a shadow Of foundation for
such action. They have a majority of
the members elect, and evidently the
contestants expect to be voted in right
or wrong: the populists did that kind of
work six years ago much to their dis
grace and to the subsequent injury of
their party honest men in the populist
party wi ! not endorse stealing Of offices,
any more than they would stealing of
horses.-Conklin's Dakotian.

He Had thA Nerve

The Lead Call says: "Balmoral City
is not the only townsite out at Ragged
Top, another place has been plotted and
bids fair to be a hustling town. The
name Of the new town is Nerveville and
it is claimed that the fellow who located
the ground where the new townsite is.
came from Nebraska and walked the
entire distance from the latter place to
Ragged Top. When he arrived at the
new camp he didn't have anything left
but an appetite. He had some salt in
his jacket and borrowed a nice fresh
SNOWFALL from the side hill with which
to partially satisfy his appetite Upon
the log where he held his 6rst Ragged
Top banquet he put up his location
notice and afterwards started town,
very appropriately naming it NervevilIe.
The ingenious locator is living on the
best in the land now for his location
bids fair to be hot rival to Balmoral

Senatorial Timber.

A special dispatch from Canton sums
up the senatorial contest as follows;
"The senatorial contest is becoming
more interesting daily. Senator Kyle,
1t appears, has lost the support Of nearly
all the members from his Brown coun-
ty, and III. Fl. Potter, an attorney Of
marked ability, is announced as Brown
county's favorite. 1t has been supposed
that Kyle would be the strongest candi-
date at the opening, but the action of
the members Of his county in declaring
for others, makes the indications point
to Loucks as the strongest opener.
Judge Plowman from neadwood will
probably have the following of most Of
the Hills counties, but il Knowles is
counted in for congress the judges
chances will at once fade away. Frank
NJ. Goodykoonz, Of Mitchell, has a very
strong following. Mr Goodykoonz has
for years been an ardent advocate of the
reforms asked for by the populists, but
hoped those reforms might be brought
about by or through the republican
party, but Immediately upon the ad-
journment Of the republican legislature
in March, 1895, when every plank ofthe
YanGton platform had been ignored,
and every pledge disregarded, he at
once severed all connection with that
party and took the stump in favor of
free silver, and for nearly two years has
been in The harness, an avowed popuist,
and probably through his efforts as
much at least as any one man, is due
the victory in the state this wear.
Then there is Grigsby, who has just
been elected attorney general, and
Judge Palmer, both of whom would fill
the position with honor, and neither Of
whom would refuse an election, but
both living in Sioux Falls, the home Of
Senator Pettigrew. il is probable that
their chances are slim. One Of the
brightest attorneys in the state is T. II.
Null, OF Huron. He was at one time
chairman Of the populist state central
committee. He will have some support.
Take ii altogether its great big ques-
tion what will be the outcome"

IL is burning shame, says Conkl;n's
Dakotian, that county and -chool war
rants are held at discount of from five
to fifteen per cent in so many of the
counties in this state; the men and

they have earned dollar should not be
compelled to wait two years for their

counties should pay interest on their

The recent failure of the Illinois Ma

The recent failure of the Illinois Ma
tional bank of Chicago, which was con-
sidered TO be among the sounded flnan-
cial institutions in the country, could
not we'll fail to create sensationin
business circles, and result in wrecking
other smaller banking houses that were
not prepared for the emergency created
by the failure of an institution OF such
magoi.ude and Importance. The cause
OF the failure is said to be due to bad
management and not to the election Of
Mckinley, as will be claimed by the

that Mckinley was present in the city
when the thing occurred.

The election IN South Dakota. which
resulted practically in tie on the Of

state is overwhelmingly in favor of

the Mckinley electors were believers in
sound money, while thousands of sound
money men voted for Bryan and free
silver because they were democrats and
Bryan was running on what purported

Pierce Of Sioux City, who recently Sc

claims situated on the free-millng ore
belt, adjoining the properties owned and
managed by the Homestake company

in width from | 500 to 5000 feet and
contains millions of tons Of pay ore. 1t
is proposed 10 erect a 400-stamp mill on

nent mining expert of international re-
putation, who is more than pleased with
the properties so far examined. The
numerous openings on the claims are
being measured up and already foot up
in the the thousands Of feet. Flash
light photographs are also being taken
of the underground workings, which
will accompany the report of the ex-
pert, who comedies that the properties
