The township elections in this county

The township elections in this county
passed off very quietly, says a recent
Watertown, S. d dispatch. In some Of
the towns the republicans and populisfs
had separate tickets in the field and
the republicans were successful in all Of
them. One thing noticeable was the
dissatisfaction expressed at the legis
lature. Even the populists rant about
the business governor" and his "sinker
legislature" Many voters who bolted
the republican party last fall, To vote
for silver and Lee, have returned to the
republicans, thoroughly disguised with

The London Daily Mail of the 10th
inst. says "The vagaries of certain
continental sovereign are causing pro-
found anxiety to his family, especially
to diplomats, who recognize that the

what Was Done at Pierre.

The following communication, ad-
dressed to the people of Fall River and
Custer counties, was received early in
the week, with the request that it be
given publicity through the medium Of
| our Columns, with which request We
cheerfuily comply:
Representing you in the state senate,
1 deem II my duty TO make brief state
ment OF " hat was done by the legislature.
There were more than six hundred
and fifty bills introduced in both
branches OF the legislature. OF these
| only w were enacted into laws. The
most prominent Of which were the ap-
preparation OF money; the railroad. the
liquor license, the election, the appor-
tionnIent, the uniformity Of text books,
and the anti trust and monopoly acts.
The acts Of local interest 10 the Black
Hills are az follows: Creating a state
registry of brands 10 begin 10 record in
the office of the Secretary of State on
and after January lst, 1898. To remove
fumes and gases in smelters 10 require
iron covers for cages in shafts for a
sheep inspector in counties having at
least 2,0O0 head of sheep TO assess live
stock between May and November; to
require county commissioners to build
da.ss and store surface waters on petit
tion Of a majority Of tie legal voters TO
prohibit the killing of deer and other
big game for four years; to authorize
supervisors TO construct dams and store
surface waters.
The senate committee on appropria.
tons reported for the Soldiers Home as
follows For salaries, fuel, lights and
maintainance, S26,500 for each year.
The senate, without opposition, agreed
to my motion TO amend the report Of
committee SO as TO make the same S27,-
800, although the argument was made
that in view of increased and increasing
purchasing power of money $26 800 was
greater sum than had ever been ap-
propriated to the Soldiers Home. For
in 1898 the total sum for the Soldiers
Home was S25, ,725. in 1894 il was $22 ,725,
in 1875 it was S26 $50, and in 1896 it was
S27 $50 Now the House committee on
appropriations reported S2G50O, but give
all increase over all appropriations tor
salaries and wages, OF $1,000 per year.
The legislature also appropriated 81 ,OUU
TO pay AN Old bill OF Paige d Company
for plumbing done at the Soldiers Home
five years ago. When the hard times
are considered it will readily be ad
mitted that the legislature dealt gener
ously with the Soldiers Home.
The specific words and figures of the
annual appropriations for 1897 and 1895
are as follows:

pairs and expense Of COM

TRUE TO INSTRUCTIONS.
He Had Been Taught to Follow Copy
and He Did So Like rlan.

Ny friend the newspaper man told
me a funny little story which happened
during the last election in a certain
newspaper office in this city.
They were pressed for men. and had
to take on some of the old printers that
went out of office with the arrival of
the typesetting machines. One of the
editorial writer's wrote what he consid-
cred fine effort of rhetoric on Mchin-
ley. Every page was sorely crowded,
and the fiat had gone forth that nothing
should be loaded. not even editorials.
In the midst of the editorial effusion oc-
Cured the following sentence: "Mckln-
ley's name led all the rest
This piece of copy was turned over to
one of the old discharged men. To
everybody's astonishment half of the
editorial in point was loaded, making a
very offending column to the eye.
The old printer was sent for. He de-
clared that he had followed copy ex-
actly. Asked to bring the proof he hur-
ried upstairs and from a bundle of writ
ten sheets extracted what he wanted.
In the meantime the editorial writer
had discovered that led all the rest"
had been omitted entirely, and he was
madden than ever.
Where is the rest of that sentence?'
he growled, when the ancient fossil ap-
peared with the copy you've chopped
this off at 'McKinley's name,'"
There is the copy" said the aged file.
Right after McKinleys name you
wrote led all the rest''-and loaded it,
of course
The editorial writer had nothing more
to say after that.-St Louis Republic.

Causes of Terror.

Professor G. Stanley Hall of Clarl
University says that thunder and light
ming cause terror to more children thar
any other one thing, and following il
the order named come reptiles, stran-
gers, darkness, fire, death, domestic
animals, water, ghosts, insects, rats anC
mice, robbers and high winds 1t is
pleasant to notice that the fear Of
ghosts comes very low on the list. Some
special forms of dread are to be found
in all parts of the country For in
stance, the thought of high winds ex-
cites no alarm in the East, while in the

apprehension.
