Expresses His Satisfaction.

Since election there have been some
changes going on in the hearts of men
who supported and endorsed the silver
cause, but it is not every man who will
own up that he was wrong in his opin-
ions. The other day 81. f. Kilbourn,
a farmer living up in Blendon town
ship, stepped into THE REPUBLICAN
Office and in the course of conversation
the recent election was touched upon.
Mr.. Kilbourn said that during the
campaign he thought there was moth
ing in the world would save the coun-
try from ruin but the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver. and that he work.
ed and talked for it, Since election,
however, he had undergone a change
of heart and was we'll satisfied that free
silver had been defeated. He was
confident that under republican ad-
ministration times would be better and
prosperity would not be long in coming.
Mr.. Kilbourn is strong prote ctionist
and believes that the policy will do
more for making times more prosper
GUS than would free silver, which in
his opinion would have been a bad
thing for the country for at least a
period of two years. The admission of
Mr.. Kibourn was frankly made and
probably there are others who feel
much the same way.

OF the opposition securing the flying
pigskin, made remarkable run OF 35
yards after two downs, with loss OF 10
yards. Gregory, securing the ball,
broke through all opposition and oar
rying it distance OF 60 yards to the
goal line, secured touch down, there
by making one OF the most noted plays
OF the game, and scoring 4 points for
the high school side, failing 10 kick
goal. Ball was put in play by kick off
and Smith securing it, made a run of
20 yards and was downed by
McGovern. University formed wedge
by which gain OF 20 yards was effect
ed. Ball passed to Smith and again to
Robinson who made a Is yard run to
goal and touch down. Smith kicked
goal, and side scored points. End OF
first half
Smith kicked off and sent ball to
high schools yard line. Cotton caught
return kick, passed ball to Smith who
succeeded in running goal, and making
touch down. bat failed to kick goal,
scoring 4 po.u.s. Gregory kicked off
from center and after closely contest
cu pattle for some minutes the univer-
sity forced its way to the goal line. and
secured touch down, scoring points.
Two notable features at this point in
the game was some free hand swinging
and much talk, and Gregory's success
full bucking against Cotton, in SO far as
he dislocated this gentleman's broad
understanding and sat squarely upon
him.
Smith on kick off sent the ball to
high schools 10 yard line, ball was
passed to Richards who made run of
161 yards and was downed by Larson.
Put in play by pass to Gregory who
made gain of yards through center.
When again put in play it was lost by
the high school on pass to right,
Smith securing possession was escorted
to goal by flying wedge, but on foul
the score was lost.
In all total of IA to points in favor
of Dakota university Witnesses say
it was a thoroughly exciting and inter-
esting game and it certainly speaks
much for local foot ball in the future.

WE'RE LOST ON THE PRAIRIE.

e. Spangler and Two Sons We're Lost In
the Fog and Slept in Haystack.
Sunday morning T. J. Spangler, ac-
companied by his father and brother,
drove up into Sanborn county and hav-
ing transacted his business started to
drive home in the evening. When
darkness came on heavy fog settled
down over the country and it was near
ly impossible for them to see distance
of ten feet ahead. The horses finally
got off the road and for some time they
wandered around aimlessly over the
prairie, finally bringing UP against
haystack. Timan had hold of the
lines and started the team eff again in
the vain hope of reaching the road,
but they got to going in circle
with the result that they pulled up in
front of that same haystack. The men
made up their minds that it would be
useless to try and make any further
progress and decided to abandon them
selves to the warmest part of the hay
stack. They went to work and dug
out quantity OF hay making hole
large enough for them to crawl into
and remained there until the dawn of
day, when they drove home, ARRIVING
here at o'clock. Timan said that it
was impossible to keep warm, although
provided with sufficient blankets. The
situation was not made any more pleas
ant by the possibility of snow storm
or blizzard, in which event the result
of their trip might have been disas-
tfous. Mr.. Spangler, the elder, is q
rheumatic sufferer and his experience
in the cold has caused him consid cradle
pain.

Congressman Gamble and Treasurer
Phillips passed through the city Mon
day morning on their way to Yankton
In conversation with them they stated
that the count on electors and congress
men showed that Mckinley had carried
the state and that the two republican
congressman were elected. In making
this canvass the board did not count
the returns from Lawrence, Butte and
several unorganized counties, the re-
turns of which had not been made ac-
cording to the law. Secretary Thor
son did not want to issue the certi6-
Gates OF election, not caring to take the
responsibility, and the supreme court
was appealed to to issue mandamus
compelling the secretary of state to
issue the certificate. The decision in
the case will be rendered by the su-
preme court on Saturday of this week.
The state ticket will remain in the
same situation, awaiting the corrected
returns from Lawrence, Butte and the
unorganized counties. If these are
made by the 17th of this month then it
is conceded that Lee, Grigsby and the
railroad commissioners on the populist
ticket are elected. The balance of the
six Offices will go to the republicans.

Most interesting services were held
at St. Mary's church Monuay evening.
Bishop Hare arrived in the afternoon
and it was understood that the services
in part would have reference to the
Rev. j. H. Babcock, whose departure
from Mitchell has been the subject of
concern to so many OF its people. A
large cons regation OF people filled the
pews ..nd aisles and the whole aspect
bure testimony to their deep interest in
the occasion. After the evening prayer
had been said and bishop had preached,
a class OF eleveu persons presented
themselves for confirmation,-a most
touching tribute to the faithful pas
toral labors OF Rev. Mr.. Babcock.
The bishop then announced that Mr..
Babcock had some months ago placed
in his hands his resignation OF the pas
toral charge Of ST. Mary's church, to be
accepted whenever the bishop in con-
ference with the people, should consid-
er it advisable. The bishop gave no
tice that he had accepted the resigna-
tion and he proposed that the members
OF the church present elect Mr.. Bah.
cock to the position of emeritus pastor,
and that the persons present, not mem
bers of the church, should join with
them in this vote as an evidence of the
acceptableness of the proposed action
to the community at large. Mr.. Abra.
ham Boynton, warden. put the question
to vote and the whole congregation
Immediately arose to their feet. 1t was
a most impressive scene. That there
might be no mistake in the meaning o1
the word emeritus" the bishop rea6
the definition of the word as follows
"Emeritus-hon discharged from
public duty on account Of age, in6rmity
or long and faithful service"
The bishop then announced that the
Rev. Frank Durant now of Chadron
Nebraska, and lately OF ST. Paul, Min
nesota, would take charge of the
church early in January. The bishop
spoke of him as one known to him per
sonally and highly esteemed and reat
the following testimonial from th'
Rev. John Wright, D. D., rector of st
Paul's: she is far above the averag
as preacher and feel convinced h
will have bright history. He is full o
sympathy as a pastor and will endea
himself to any congregation. I mad
an effort to get him to ST. Paul, but
see you have anticipated my move
ment. You are to be congratulated.

Button TiIuepieces.

A buttonhole watch is obviously q
very useful and ornamental fashion.
This unique timepiece can always be
kept in sight and tables one TO answer
question as to the time with the min
imum amount of trouble. Large guam
titles of these miniature watches were
imported from France for the Christmas
season. The buttcnhole watch fad orig
mated in France. They were first worn
by bicyclists in the sleeve or in one of
the lower buttonholes of the coat. They
enabled the cyclist to see the time with
out inconvenience while riding at full
speed.
In America they will be worn, how
ever, in the lapel of the coat. The or
binary form of buttonhole watch has
face about half an inch in diameter,
or even less. It may readily be seen that
when these tiny faces are tastefully dec
Grated they will be highly ornamental
to the lapel Of most coats. AT distance
they might readily be mistaken for a
badge of the Legion of Honor or some
similar device.
The works Of these novel watches are
about the size of an ordinary lady's
watch. The face, which is about one
fourth the diameter of the works, is con-
nected with the mechanism by thin
neck. The buttonhole watches may be
bought for $40, although some of the
most elaborate designs are worth ten
times that figure. New York World.
