The Republican Judicial Ticket.
For Judge of the 9th Judicial Circuit,
HON. A. w. CAMPBELL,
of Aberdeen.

R%einspired by the outcome of the
Investigations in the auditors Office,
the Sioux Falls Press plucks up
courage and delivers another attack
on David Williams, ex-treasurer of
the board Of regents. 1t is some
what guarded in language and
therein the Press shows good Judg-
ment. 1t admits "that Williams
was never charged with dishonesty"
and there would be a hot time
around the Press office il it dared to
so charge. The article is scarcely
worth noticing but for one statement
with which we most emphatically
differ. Il says, speaking Of the new
board, 'that board was then acting
and recognized by the supreme court
as tho de faoto authority" The old
board Of regents was a de facto
board during the pondency Of the
suit ii the supreme court, and was
SO recognized BY the court and
everyone else. The supreme court
on the first hearing Of the
regency case plainly states that
&
a doubt existed as to the legal
standing Of the new board. 1t said
'sthat the validity OF the alleged
amendment or amendments is TO say
the least extremely doubtful This
does not sound as if the supreme
court recognized the new board a:
the authority de facto. Within two
hours after the supreme court had
rendered its final decision recog-
nizing the new board, Treasurer
Williams forwarded all monies and
books TO Treasurer Phillips al
Pierre. Every dollar paid out by
Mr.. Williams was paid out legally
on legally-drawn vouchers, legally
countersigned. The Press recog
nizes the fact that the old board wa
the board do facto and as such it
every act was legal, and has reformed
its articles against Mr.. Williams by
introducing the claim Of the new
board as the de facto board. Blu
no amount of its cunning sophistr,
can make a charge, either of dis
honesty or illegal disbursement, Ii
against Mr.. Williams, and no one !
more aware of this fact than tn
Press itself.

The Study of Local History,

The precise method of instruction
and the tboroughness and extent of
the study Of the particular topic or
period of the city under consider
alton, must of course be affected by
the average age and intelligence Of
the particular classes. Most people,
however, would be surprised to know
with what great avidity the children
of humble immigrants will enter
upon local historical study If they
are properly guided. Young wor-
kingmen and members of working
girls clubs will read sta ndard his
torical works, when their interest is
once aroused, with as much thorough
ness and even much keener DELIGHT
than is likely to be shown by the
young men of Columbia college or
the young ladies Of the best private
boarding schools. These facts hav-
ing been demonstrated by exper-
fence, it may be said with assurance
that the chapters of the city history
club that are located in the thickly
populated parts Of the town, where
the working population lives, are
disposed to enter upoa the study Of
city history in quite as solid and
thoroughgoing a fashion as the mem
oers OF those chapters that are or

At the recent meeting of the
board of regents at Vermilion,
Regent Herried offered a resolution
naming September % as the date
on which the auditing committee
should meet and make final settle
ment with ex-Treasurer Williams.
This was voted down by the honor
able (?) pop members of the board
acting under instructions from head
quarters. The illustrious Father
Haire says there is no occasion for
haste. Certainly not, from a pop
ulist standpoint, for they are fully
aware that a settlement means a
public exoneration of Mr.. Williams
and this they do not propose to give
until compelled to, but if they even
dreamt hat an iota of the absurd
charges would cling to Mr.. Williams
skirts they would meet in such haste
that a gathering Of v%ultures around
a dead horse would seem slow in
comparison. Besides, by delay they
furnish additional opportunity to
that yellow organ of populism, the
Sioux Falls Press, to pour out more
slush in the vain hope Of creating a

Nobody has called attention to
any great anxiety on the part of the

except Pettigrew and Mantle under

liner Taylor and his malice toward
Auditor Mayhem were plainly shown
by his going outside of his author

er. When the insurance department
was In the auditors office, one stem
ographer did the whole work for the
office for $50 a month. Commission
er Kipp now has a separate stem
ographer for whom he drew $50 for
the last half of August; and yet his
stenographer has less work than the
auditors. Mr.. Taylor evidently
thinks this is all right, but Taylor
and Kipp are pops and Mayhem is
the one republican officer on whom
the whole pop outfit have centered
their fight and against whom they
are using every manner of misrep-
resentation. The reason is obvious.
The auditors office is the gateway
to the treasury and MI. Mayhem is
not the kind of auditor hat pop
plunderers like to deal with.

A Wisconsin man recently undertook

fawn at a water hole. After 1T had
finished drinking it lay down by a
log. The farmer resolved to capture
it alive if possible, and taking advan-
tage of the noise made by the cattle
going into the water hole to drink, he
stole cautiously up and seized the fawn
by it's hind legs. In the struggle that
ensued he lost that grip, but managed
to obtain one on its tail This he held
during an exciting chase OF quarter
of a mile. The underbrush that the
fawn then ran into compelled him to
relinuuish his hold, and he had the
satisfaction of seeing the animal rejoin

newspapers. At the same moment cable
car No. came bowling along uptown.

just as the car bound the other way

went up from the eyewitnesses. They
expected to See the boy lying mangled

at full length between the tracks, un-
conscious. Clasped tightly to his breast
was the boy, frightened half to death,
but not hair of his head hurt. The
policeman was carried into a store on
the corner, where he soon revived.
Where is the boy?" were his first
words. They told him he was unhurt
and full of gratitude for the police
mans brave act. Schreiger explained
that just as he clasped the boy in his
| arms to lift him out Of harms way the
handle-bar of car No. 8 hit him on the
shoulder and threw him violently to the
ground. Before consciousness left him
Schneider said, he made strenuous eff.
fort to fall so that he might lie between
the tracks. His head was badly bruised
and his shoulder sprained, but beyont
that he declared that his injuries were
too trifling to report himself i'll, so h,

enough to shake his hand. Schreibe
