Then the Leader goes on to say that
only II cents is allowed by law for the
printing OF the same, although two
years ago by file bill No. 923 in the
auditors Office the Leader charged 2
cents piece for printing both official
and sample ballots.
Now let US see how little truth there
is In the Leader statement. In the

AN ALcEsTER ROMANCE.
What Transpired in Sioux City with Ref.
ercncc to An Alccster Couple.

What Transpircd in Sioux City with Ref
ercnec to An Aiccster couple.
Sioux City Journal: After q search
Of over a year L. NJ. Smith, whose home
now is at Alcester, S. D., has found his
runaway wife in Sioux City. she APP
parently was as tired of separation
from her husband as he, and they have
become reunited and are happy as
doves.
The story of Mr.. Smith s marriage to
his proud wife, her desertion of him
and their reunion contains much OF the
romantic. Back in tie sos Mr.. Smith
lived for several years in Sionx City.
He was q carpenter by trade, and al
one time lived in West Third street
with his wife and three children, the
latter OF whom are now grown. Hfss
wife became i'll with consumption and
finally died. During her illness o young
girl worked for the family. She was !
German girl, whose parents lived and
still live east Of this city and are quite
wealthy. She became tired Of country
life and came to the city. Some time
after his wife's death Mr.. Smith mar
ried the girl. She was then but Ies
years Of age, while he was 36. Thxf
was six years ago. Mr.. Smith and the
new Mrs. Smith lived hi f1iopx City, ,fut
about two years. and stiA1 moved
to Hurley, S. D.. From tlsel 1h1f Z
went to Centerville, and then to a AfSoss
ter, where for time Mr.. Smith ran =
hotel. Then Mr.. Smith became . con-
tractor and engaged in building grain
elevators.
Something over year ago Smith
came home one day, after being absent
for some time and found note from his
wife saying she had left him. The only
reason she had for going was that slaa
was lonesome in the small South DakO-
ta towns, particularly with her hus-
band absent much OF the time. Mr..
Smith at once began search for his.
wife, and kept it up until he found her
in Sioux City Friday. through the aid
Of a friend. Mrs. Smith has been here
for about . year, and has been living III
East Seventh street. near the Efoyd
bridge. When told her husband Wse
in the city looking for her she was very
anxious to see him. They met and be-
came recOnciled. Mr.. Smith will re-
main in the city over Sunday, and then
he will 60 to Alcester and make
arrangements to move to Sioux City.

In printing the ballots The COURIER
editor had nothing to do with the num-
Der. The editor told the auditor that,
on the days they were printed he could
stand by the press aud watch the count
ing machine and when the required
number was run off, for each precinct,
to check the same In compliance with
this the auditor sent his deputy who
stood by the press and kept track OF the
number from beginning to end. We had
no more to do with the number than
any other citizen. The auditor did his
bounden duty in the matter. readiug
the law as any honest man would and
complied with it's terms to the letter.
1t is not exceedingly strange that
the Leader should make such charge
when one of the stockholders, Com
missioner Merrill. allowed and ap-
proved the bill himself. Mr.. Merrill
understood fully that the law pertain
ing to printing the ballots was COM
piled with in every particular and that
the auditor had secured better con-
tract than the one made with the
Leader two years ago. He considered
that saving had been made by thu
offer OF THE COURIER to print for less.

THE LEADERS, ATTACK.
An Unjust aud Vile Attack Made by
The Leader Hyenas Upon the
Courier.

as follows t'Section 81 Before the opening oi
the polls the county auditor SHALL CAUSE TO
BE DELIvERED to the judges Of each election
the election is held at the polling place OF the
precinct one hundred (lOO) ballots for eaen fifty
voters or major fraction thereof as shown by
the returns OF the last proceeding election"
Can anything be plairer than that
the auditor followed his duty? Had 1t
been the intention of the legislature to
reduce the number to be printed they
would have amended section Is instead
OF 81. Furthermore, supposing there
we're just to one printed. how in case
of ballots being destroyed could the
auditor furnish any more. No printing
Office could get them out in the day
remaining even If all that time was at
its disposal.
The Leader states:
''The law allows one cent and half FOR
printing the ballots"
The Leader cannot produce scin-
ti.la OF law to prove the statement
There is no such law. Two years
ago the Leader charged 2cents piece
for official as we'll as sample ballots.
While THE COURIER sold sample bal
lots TO the populst central committee
this year for l! cents piece-the same
as it charged the county. For the Of
fetal ballots the charge was l.S cents a
piece-2O cents per hundred less than
the Leader charged. Their dirty work
is SO palapable that 1t would bring the
blush q shame to a snake.
Further on the Leader goes to say
that there was an error Of figure in the
printing of the proceedings by which the
charge for publishing the proceedings.
list of nominations, notice OF election
and other items should have read $685.
so instead of slO3.5O. That is correct.
The error was made in proof-reading
and THE COURIER editor is so innocent
of the charge that he was not in the
city at the time 1t was read, or printed,
but being in Sioux Falls. The error OF
the figure 81" instead Of ''2' is one Of
most likely to occur in printing Office
as both boxes adjoin each other in
printers case. If it had been .s3'' i'm
stead OF ''2'' the howl would not have
been as big and have as ugly a smell
to the Leader. The auditor secured
proof sheets from the printers In THE
COURIER Office for the Beresford News
and Alcester Union, and the error not
being noticed, the list Of bills being so
long it was easy matter for it to escape
the attention Of all except the diseased
mind Of the Leader bunco outfit.

Never in his experience Of journalism
has the editor of THE COURIER met
with such an infamous, dastardly as
sault upon his character and good
name as made by the Leader OF last
| week. Never was there such vile
slander placed upon the name of any
one with so little foundation. Language
fails to describe the infamy Of such
an act. Jealousy, envy, and a hatred
for anything which is fair and honest
can be ascribed but fails to meet the
situation. It was the act of the as
sassin, sneak in the grass and the
prOtuding of q snake-like and ven-
omus tongue whose very breath would
cause dog 10 rise up in holy horror.
The COURIER, as before stated never
In it's experience met with such bare
faced attemDs to SANDER and villify
the character of anyone. And if the
courts OF this land will not bring forth
justice it will be travesty upon the
name OF honest manhood. The head
lines OF the article read as follows:
STOP, THIEF.
Union County is Being Robbed by the Private
Secretary.

Of government which derives 81 its authority
from the consent Of the governed.
The Civil Service.
That the American people are not In fsFoF OF

the feet that they, as rule, make frequent
changes In their official representatives when
those representatives are chosen by ballot A
permanent once holding class is not in har-

The Territories.
The territorial form of government is TEN

soon as the territory is sufficiently advanced to
take its place among the states. New Mexico,
Oklahoma and Arizona are entitled to statehood
and their early admission is demanded by their
material and political interests The demand

am also heartily in sympathy with the declara-
ton that all public lands should be reserved
for the establishment Offree homes for Ameri-
can citizens.
Water Ways.
The policy OF improving the great water ways
of the country is justified by the national char
acter Of these water ways and the enormous
tonnage borne upon them. Experience has
demonstrated that continuing appropriations
are, in the end, more economical than single
appropriations separated by long intervals
The Tariff,
It is not necessary to discuss the tariff Ques-
ton at this time Whatever may be the in
dividual views Of citizens as to the relative
merits OF protection and tariff reform, all must
recognize that until the money question is
fully and finally settled the American people
will not consent to the consideration Of any
other important question. Taxation presents
a problem which in some form is continually
present, and a pOstpOnement OF def
mite action upon it involves no
sacrifice Of personal opinion or political
principles but the crisis presented by financial
conditions cannot be postponed. Tremendous
results will follow the action taken by the
United States on the money question and de-
lay is impossible. The people Of this nation,
sitting as high court must render judgment
in the cause which greed is presenting against
humanity. The decision will either
give hope and inspiration to those who toll, OF
shut the doors OF mercy on mankind In the
presence of this OveFshadOwing issue, differ
eHces of opinion upon minor questions must b.
laid aside in order that there may be united
action among those who are determined that
progress towards a universal gold standard
shall be STAYED and the gold and silver coinage
