Col. Murdock, who is one Of the

II doubt if people in the east re-
alize the wonderful change in senti.
ment now taking place among the
people of the middle and western

the free silver men will control the

contest Of the Sioux Falls university,
which took place at the Baptist church
last night in the presence Of a large

Miss Marion Thompson, whose GRAFTON
was entitled "The Ivy or the Oak

and Mss Ethel Bingham, who selected

has it from what it considers good
authority, that ex-Judge kellam has
gone to Spokane, Wash, where he will
enter into law practice with a FORMER
partner. The story Of his having been
crimlnally intimate with a young girl is
denied, also the morphine story. 1t
simply resolves itself into a case OF
adultery, with two very prominent
people as principals, and for the good OF
the supreme bench OF the state it is
fortunate that kellam resigned.
