The county commissioners have been
in session for the past two days and
finished up Wednesday, devoting
portion OF the time to discussing some
methods of collecting delinquent per-
sonal taxes, which now aggregate quite
a sum.
A petition presented by Casper Kerr
and others for the building OF bridge
across the Jim river in Perry township
was the first matter taken up by the
board and Commissioner Helwig was
appointed to get the specifications for
the bridge and to advertise for bids to
be opened at the October meeting
The auditor presented statement of
expenses for the past year which
amounted to 3,267.12.

est and sinking fund, $4,000: insane

fund mills.

tion of all the sheep in the county was
levied for the purpose of paying the SAL
ary OF sheep inspector, under the new
law.
The jim river bridge east, of town,
was inspected by the commissioners
and was accepted. 1t was erected by
r. D. Wheaton & Co. of Chicago the
contract price being $780,

MITCHELL REPUBLICAN j. p. Carl
son of Prosper township came TO town
today and in his mail found an applnt.
ment from Gov. Lee as member of the
farmers national congress. which con-
venes in St. Paul August 81. Mr. Carl
son says he doesn't understand how a
Populist governor should throw any
thing like an appointment in his way
when he is such thorough republican
Mr.. Carlson expects TO go to ST. Paul
at the time of the meeting and will
attend it.
Argus Leader: Perhaps Mr.. Carl
son does not understand the governors
plan. He had 1000 commissions
struck off at state expense and has
scattered these appointments all
oyer the state. The governor hopes to
tickle the recipients into friendship for
him next year The appointment
does not carry with it the right to take
part in the convention nor even the
privilege of admission to the hall
South Dakota has only eight delegates:
Lee has issued 1000 commissions to
alternates. If Mr.. Carlson is one OF
the regular delegates be can secure a
seat in the convention: otherwise he
can sit on the fence and see the dele
gates go by.
If Governor Lees appointments fell
into hands generally like Mr.. Carlson's
the friends of the governor would not
be any larger year hence then they
are now. The governors work in this
respect was decidedly coarse, for a
business man.

Since Senator Kyle has returned
from his trip to Europe the Washing

with the appointments yet to be made
in South Dakota and expects him 10
take a hand in the disposition of the
marshalship. The dispatch says:
The arrival here of Senator Kyle
from his trip through England and
Scotland has renewed interest in the
contest that is being waged between
the republican factions in South
Dakota over the United States marshal
ship. The term Of the democratic in
umbent, Marshal Peemiller, has ex-
pred, but the absence of the president
prevented the papers being taken up,
and the department has issued u tenn.
awaiting action by the president on his
numerous candidates for the place is A ;.
B. Wilcox of Yankton, who has ar
rived here to look after his prospects
Elk Congressman Pickler is urging the
appointment of H. D. Cham berlian, but
majority of the committee of republi-
can politicians in the state favor the
appointment of ex-senator Kennedy of
Eureka, and it is pretty certain that
the efforts of Senator Kyle will be
directed towards inducing the presid ent
to appoint Kennedy. President Nc
Kinley is expected to return to the
capitol about Sept. 10. Senator Kyle
is going to Illinois for few da s. but
will not go to South Dakota, and will
return to see the president in regard to
the marshalship appointment. The
ser ator says he spent two weeks in a
delightful manner wheeling through
the country districts of England and
Scotland. He will not go to his home
in South Dakota until several of the
patron age questions are settled.
