a new stem, and both will have several new
plates put on before proceeding.

We are sorry that we have not the

what the REGISTER thought of its

The REGISTER does not know what
the Press expects to gain by an insin-
uation of that character. The editor
of the Press is welcome to come down

anything he may find in it's columns

Another County Heard From.

Under the heading Of "a Jonah On
Board" the "Howard Spirit" (rep),
publishes a long article from which
we take the following: "But in Da-
kota we are in the shadow of impend-
ing defeat. We have lost step with
the procession Of triumphant republi-
canism In our ranks there is revolt.
Revolt in Douglas county, where a
faction, barely in the minority, quit
us in a body: revolt in Hutchinson
county, our banner stronghold, where
republican demands have been ig-
nored by a paltry patronage broker;
revolt in Hughes county, in Hyde, in
Hand, in Faulk, in Sphinx, In Roberts,
in Codington, in Lincoln. Revolt
everywhere and thousands of stalwart
warriors, with traditions of republi-
can glory thrilling their veins, I'm.
able to bring themselves to open re-
volt, but skulking in their tents, their
heads bowed with shame, while their
swords rust in their scabbards.
And this is the work of one man,
fattened on the lust for power until
he has grown greater in his own es-
TEEN than the party he pledged his
honor to serve.
The Spirit bears no personal ill will
to Mr.. Phillips or Mr.. Burke. 1t be-
lieves Mr.. Phillips has made good
treasurer and would make a good gov
ernor 1t knows very little of Mr..
Burke personally-just enough to
know that he is par excellence the
Kittredge man on the ticket-but it
will no more hesitate about throwing
them overheard to save the ship than
did the sailors of Tarshish in Jonahs
case. The campaign is more than
half over. Instead of joyous shout
Of ratification there Is apathy, open
revolt, or a sullen determination of a
large number Of voters to repudiate
Kittredge methods and relieve the
party of the undeserved odium dom
ination at whatever cost"

Public Examiner Maris Taylor was

Roddle's brand record. He finds that
%, 200 was collected, of which Roddle
now has on hand about $400. Roddle
has probably converted to his own use
about $500 to $1,000, as the share re-
tanned by his office amounts to $1,000.
No vouchers are shown for the ex-
penditures except checks on the bank
where Roddle keeps his funds. 1t is
intimated that he may give up the
money and return it to the state
treasury, but since the Argus-Leader,

ing that Roddle should resign if the
accusation were true, has now under

fees, Mr.. Roddle is between the devil

The last legislature so changed the
election law as to require every voter
to mark cross in front of every can
didate he wishes to vote for. This
year there will be no circle at the top
by which the voter may vote the

must mark cross in front of every

they are all on one party ticket or
part on each of the five tickets that
will be on the ballot. Voters should

The news Of the death of ex-Gov-
ernor Sheldon at Deadwood last week
came as shock to his friends in the
eastern part OF the state, who saw
him leave from home in apparently
the best of health. He was billed for
a number Of speeches in the hills, but
contracted severe cold shortly after
his arrival, which soon developed in
to pneumonia, and in a few short
days he succumbed to the grim reaper.
In his death the state loses one Of It's
best and most loyal citizens. He was
man of sterling qualities and had a
large following of personal friends.
Mr.. Sheldon was born in Johnson,
Levoille county, Vermont. on Sept.
II, lS40. When he was four years old
his father died, leaving four small
children for the mother to rear.
There was ample property, but ras-
cally administrator secured that, and
young Sheldon, when only years old,
was obliged to hustle for himself. He
found work on a farm and stuck to
that for six years, attending school
two months in the winter. Next he
spent year as clerk in a store re-
ceiying besides two months schooling
his board and 800, from which he
saved $l2 and gave it to his mother.
For two years he attended the Le-
voille academy and worked his way by
farming in the summer and saving
wood in the winter. He then taught
school for a year for $l6 month and
board around, then hired to local
merchant for three years. In the
summer of 1861 he caught the war
fever and enlisted in the First Yer
mont, but being taken seriously i'll
was excused and later entered the
Seventh regiment Of the same state.
His service lasted four years, five
months and twenty days, and he was
mustered out on April a captain Of
Company /. During his service Mr..
Sheldon served as judge advocate Of
the district of West Florida, and for a
time was assistant adjutant general.
He was also appointed in the winter
of 1854 recorder of the board OF
officers to examine into the destruc-
tion Of property in Louisiana by fed.
eral troops. Mr.. Sheldon came to
Illinois in the spring Of 1866 and lived
in the southern counties for eleven
years, when he moved to Paducah,
kentucky, to engage in the tobacco
business. He came to Dakota in 1871,
lived in Brown county for year and
then took farm in Day county, six
miles from Andover, where he has
since resided. Governor Sheldon was
a member of the territorial council
in 1886 from Coddington, Grant, Day
and Roberts counties. In 1892 he was
elected to the highest position in the
gift Of the people of the state and
was re-elected,his own successor.
