Awaiting Supreme Court Decision.
The liquor dealers out in the Black
Hills who refused to take out licenses
on the ground that the liquor law of
this state was not in effect, by reason of
the dispensary law being carried last
year, have caused two.thirds of the
counties in the state to hold up the lic-
ense money that is due the state. The
liquor dealers on this side of. the Mis-
souoi did not care to question the con-
stitutionality of the law and have paid
their licenses. Up to the present time
only eleven counties have made their
remittancss to the state treasurer and
the balance are supposed to be await
ing the supreme court decision. Those
which have paid up and the amount
due the state are: Beadle, $3.50: Bon

hoped to have secured filings to fill out

years to fill out all which is due the

taken to replace tracts of common
school lands which the state is preclud-
ed from securing title to from one cause
or another, and several years will
elapse before title is secured to all such
tracts, beyond all question. Until this
is done the department will be making
occasional filings on lands.

The Warne and Frost situation wi

The Warne and Frost situation will
undoubtedly be aired through court
martial trial, and it is only right that
it should. The astounding charges
made by Major Warne could not well
stand unquestioned and no officer could
rest under the aspersions cast by a sub
ordinate. That Major Warne would
make such charges. under the circum..
stances in which he was placed, was a
surprise to his friends in this county
and they regretted the unfortunate
step he had taken. Usually Warne
was of a retiring disposition and was
tent, particularly for publication.
That he should make a confident of
Pettigrew in such a matter was as
equally surprising for it was generally
understood that politically the two men
were not on good terms. There are
but few who would attempt to condone
the otfense but they regret the major
was so shortsighted as to plunge him
self into such an unenviable and un-
pleasant position. 1t would seem that
no matter how aggravating was the
situation there was but one duty for
him to perform and that was to attend
10 his business of caring for the
soldiers, and if he had any complaints
30 make concerning his superior officer
BE should have made them to the prop
sr department instead of South Da-
kara politician. Just what the out
come of the trial will be is matter
6hat can be determined only by the
evidence in the case, and in any event
one of the two officers will undoubtedly
be forever disgraced. From the publi-
cation of what would be regarded as
private letter the indications are that
Pettigrew made the missive public
with malice aforethought, with the
idea of disgracing one OR the other.
And it is evident that the blow was
directed toward Warne. Commenting
on the unpleasant situation the Sioux
City journal has the following:
The arrest of Maj. Warne, of the
South Dakota regiment, at the instance
OF Col. Frost. viii be welcomed by both
the warm friends and harsh critics of
the latter. The arrest was made in
Nagasaki, Japan, on the humeward
voyage of the troops, and probably
coincident with Col. Frost's first read
ing Warne's letter to Pettigrew, pub
lished last month. The arrest will
certainly be followed by a courtmartial
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1899-08-25

In referring to the incident of Major
Warne's arrest at Nagasaki, Japan,
Ralph Wheelock has the following in
the Minneapolis Tribune:
When the South Dakota regiment
was organized for the Philippines one
DR.. Warne, a bellicose young populiSt
of Mitchell, that state, was appointed
its surgeon with rank of major. Warne
is an extreme partisan, going so far as
to carry his political preiudices into his
social and professional life in the COM
munity in which he lives, and there
have been rumors from time to time of
strained relations between himself and
Col. Frost, his supelior officer, who is
a strict disciplinarian and being a
West Point officer has no interest in
politics.
These rumors developed into positive
facts a few weeks since. when Senator
Pettigrew, with decidedly questionable
taste, gave to the newspapers private
letter from Maj. Warne, making a
fierce personal attack upon Col. Frost.
AS the return of the South Dakota
troops has been dragged into politics
by the course of Gov. Lee, and as Col.
Frost has not fallen in with the plans
OF the populist campaign managers, the
publication of the letter may have been
with malice aforethought: with a view
to making it appear that Frost was
thwarting the efforts of the governor
in behalf of the regiment, the men,
bers of which will vote in the next
campaign.
Be that as it may, the fact of the at
tack upon Col. Frost became known to
him when the homeward bound trans
port reached Nagasaki, Japan, the
other day, and the next chapter in
this disgraceful politic-military row is
written in the following pathetic cable
gram sent by Maj. Warne to Senator
Pettigrew on Saturday: ARRESTED by
Frost-published letter.
a court-martial will follow in which
the attempt of the Pettigrew-Lee COM
bination to drag the gallant First
South Dakota regiment into politics
will undoubtedly be thoroughly aired.

that will be watched by the public with
keen interest, in the hope of learning
the exact truth in regard to the
charges that have been made against
this fighting colonel.
The letter that furnished the basis
for the arrest was written before the
South Dakota troops were ordered
home. 1t told of the unanimous desire
of the members of the regiment to be
recalled, and asserted that Col. Frost
was "holding up the applications for
discharge with the deliberate intention
of keeping the boys on duty for pur-
poses of self exploitation. The follow
ing extract illustrates in what strong
language the epistle was couched: X
The courtmartial that is sure to come
will disclose what grounds Mai. Warne
had for making such unsoldierly
accusations against superior officer
while yet in the service. In the inter-
ests OF the truth the investigation is
justitiable. Certainly Col. Frost can
not be blamed for resenting such
language and directing the attention of
the war department to it. 1t is un-
fortunate that the matter has come up
after all cause for clashing between
the officers had been removed and just
as the people of South Dakota were
preparing to welcome home their
heroes. The incident cannot dim the
brilliant record in the field made by
the fighting South Dakotans, but it is
calculated to dampen the general en-
thusiasm that would attend the return
of Il united regiment. In defense of
Maj. Warne's good sense as well as
good taste it may be hazarded that the
offensive letter was intended for private
perusal only. and that Senator Petit
grew made a bad break" in causing it
to be published.

THE MITCHELL CAPITAL.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1899.

To the extent of two columns does
Brer. Whitcher, of the Gazette, un-
burden himself in reference to the
manner in which the reception to re-
turned volunteer was carried on, and
we really can't see the necessity of his
two column criticism over that affair.
Brer. Whitcher intimates that it was
strictly a republican affair and that
the populists were shut out entirely.
1t is passing strange that a newspaper
man isn't broad gauge enough to see
ordinary matters is not coupled with
the fact that he happens to be re-
publican, democrat or populist. He
certainly should have the privilege Of
divorcing himself from politics when
he participates in any public gathering
where there is not the least semblance of
partisan politics. In this instance several
citizens arranged for a reception to a
returned volunteer and invited two
other citizens to make brief speeches,
not as members of any political party
but simply as every day citizens of
Mitchell. Can the Gazette man grasp
the idea: simply citizens. Undoubtedly
Brer. Whitcller heard the addresses of
the two speakers, and he certainly con-
not say that they were in any way
partisan, for not one reference was
made to any subject that could be con-
strued as tavoring any party. The
gathering was simply one of the peo-
pie. bat the Gazette unwarrantably
insisted on making it a partisan affair.
presumably to work up some sympathy
for himself and his fusion party. Erer.
Whitcher evidently would not let a
man do any public act unless it be
branded as that of a republican, dem
ocrat or populist. 1t is too narrow
plank for a man to walk on and retain
his equilibrium.
Brer. Whitcher evidently felt hurt
the worse because he spent Sl3 year
ago in trying to raise company here
for the second regiment, should it be
organized, and he got a promise from
the boys not to 90 to war unless the
company be taken as a whole. After
Brer. Whitcher spent some time in
trying to secure commission from the
governor as an officer. and was un-
successful, for the reason that the gov
ernor took the aspiring captain at his
own word that ''he was ready to take
his place in the ranks where his brains
and military ability entitled him. and
let him remain at home-then it was
that the u young men demonstrated
that they really wanted to go to war
by going over to Sioux Falls and en-
listing. while he remained at home.
There was Just as good an opportunity
for Brer. Whitcher to 90 as any other
man who went.
The narrowness of Brer. Whitcher's
views as expressed concerning the re-
ception does him no credit and but for
the reason that he was desirous of max
ing some political capital out of it he
would never have criticized the re-
eeption so harshly Whatever of par
tisanship has been made of the
affair Brer Whitcher is responsible for
it.
