the lavishment of design shown in
most of the accessories of the toilet

less for part of its popularity.

Of the boys who attempted to get away
from the institution when the change
in the superintendent occurred, and by
this action the new superintendent
evidently admits that he cannot control
the leaders of that crowd. This fully
substantiates the statement in THE
REPUBLICAN Monday that the SUPER
intendent intended to release some of
the boys. The board passed through
here for Yankton and We ascertained
that it was practically settled that the

derstood that DR.. 8. Ross would sup

the asylum.

letter from his nephew, Horace G.

OF June 26. Young Bates lives at Elan

sergeant and on arriving in Manila
was promoted to lieutenancy, as first
we believe. Mr.. Kress has permitted
US to make fow extracts from the
letter as follows:
"About three weeks ago We were
relieved from the firing line and came
in from Fernando and was establish
ed in camp at sante Mesa. Mycomrany
is quartered in an old Spanish church.
We are about q mile from any other

chance to enlist and not conscript
them. You don't need to lose any
sleep over the flag being taken down
from any place it is put. You people
in the state do lot Of talking about
things you know nothing about. If the
fireside patriots in the state had kept
their mouths shut we would meyer have
had an insurrection here or if we had
been sent ahead when the thing first
started we would have wound it up be-
fore now. We have always done onr
duty and will probably continue to do
so."

Time unbll the neAt meetlng WAS grant,
ed. This agitation will undoubtedly
be the means of giving light to the
residence portion Of the city, either by
arcs or inoandesoents.

the council as the city's apportionment
to the county for the purpose OF supply
ing the jury list: G. II. Kibbee, j. E..

Alderman Wells reported that the
fire alarm system was in . disordered
condition and that it had not been in
working order for year. The coun-
Gil ordered the same repaired at q cost
not to exceed $15.
Alderman Stout brought in request
from his south side constituents re-
questing the council to remove tho
watering trough near Murphy & Wade's
grocery to some less conspicuous place,
and the matter was taken under ad-
visement.
One thing of Importance performed
by the council was further reduction
OF the city's indebtedness, and this
action is certainly to be higly COM
mended. The statement of the city
treasurer that there was $4,000 in the
treasury suggested to the mayor that
half of this amount might be utilized
toward reducing the.city indebtedness,
consequently $4,000 was transferred to
the sinking fund and the treasurer WAS
authorized to call in four bonds of $500
each. AS these bonds draw per cent
interest it will be noticed that years
interest is we'll worth saving. With
the payment of this $1,000 the bonded
bebt, outside OF the school, amounts to
2,EOO, $19, 800 being refunded ati4a per
cent. and the balance, which draws I
per cent, will undoubtedly be refunded
this fall at an equally low rate.
The council adjourned to the next
regular meeting in September.

Not Much Left In Mitchell District Except

There are seven United States land
offices in South Dakota and recently
the registers OF each made q report to
the commissioner of the general Office
showing the amount of vacant land in
each district, the aggregate of the
whole amounting to 100000 acres
which is subject to entry. From Reg
ister Fosters report we ascertain that
the Mitchell district contains total of
20,941 acres of vacent land which is
now subject to entry by qualified appli-
cants. This land district embraces the
older portion of the state and the re-
port shows that government land is be-
coming decidedly scarce in many Of
the old settled counties. For instance,
Aurora county contains only 160 acres
OF vacant government land which is yet
subject to entry; Bon Homme county,
40 acres of grazing land; Clay county,
Sc acres OF grazing land; Douglas
county, 68 acres of grazing land;
Hutchinson, 49 acres of broken land;
Jerauld, 1,200 acres of grazing land 1;
McCook, acres swampy land; Moody,
40 acres swampy land; Sanborn, "a
acres swampy land; Union, II acres
swampy land, and Yankton, 81 acres
swampy land. OF the 20,941 acres
subject to entry in the Mitchell dis
triot 19, 200 acres are embraced in the
land oeded by the Yankton Indians in
1895 and is situated in Charles Mix
county. The total acreage of lands en-
tered in the Mitchell district during
the last year WIS about 20, 900 acres.

THE WHOLE DEAL FINISHED

The Yankton Insane Asylum the Last to
Pass Into the Hands of the Fusionists.
AT last have the obligations been set
tied which were the price OF the elec-
tion of the governor last year by means
of fusion. The governor was able to
appoint board of charities and correc-
tions which would do the bidding of the
state administration, regardless wheth-
er competent official would be sup
planted by another of inexperience.
The state penitsntiary and the re-
form schools have both been supplied
with new head officers and there wasn't
80 much trouble in distributing this
patronage, but the superintendency of
the Yankton insane asylum was not 80
easy Of adjudication. 1t was under
stood that the place was to be reserved
for DR.. Warne, of this city when he
should return from the Philippines
with the South Dakota regiment, but
evidently something has happened to
disarrango the plan, although DR..
Warne had started plan 10 leave his
regiment, when his services were most
needed, before it was mustered out.
The board OF charities and corrections
met at Ysnkton last week to carry out
the injunctions Of their chief. DR..
Mead was removed and DR.. S. Ross was
appointed in his place, the change to
occur Aug. 20. No charges of any kind
we're preferred against DR.. Mead, and
it is understood that Kingsbury was
not in favor of change in the asylum
and his righteous indignation got the
better of his populism. Other changes
we're the removal Of the two assistant
physicians, who 60 Sept. l. G. l..
Parks, who was established as foreman
of the new buildings by Mr.. Kingsbury,
with the understanding that he was to
remain there, WAS removed. For sew
eral months the populist members of
the board have endeavored to put F..
L. Ward, Black Hills man, to work
| as superintendent Of construction, even
after the buildings were nearly COM
pleted, and he was finally given the
place Of Parks. Jake Nissen was ap-
pointed rs steward, in place OF Frank
Wyman removed, who has filled that
position with great satisfaction for q
number of years.

After it was all over and the board had
adjourned .Klngsbury and Steere walked

evident that the former WAS pretty
indignant over the action of the
board. Mr.. Steere said that Kings

man who helped the other two popu

that one OF its strongest supporter
must apologize for the action taken.

The City Council Transacted Some Busi-
Every member of the city council
was present at the regular session
Monday evening and Mayor Fullerton
was there to preside over the deliber-
ations of that body. Auditor Smith
read the minutes OF the previous meet
ing which were approved. The first
business taken up was the letting Of
the bids for the construction of con-
demned sidewalks, which were con-
demned last fall and although bids
were asked for at that time no contract
was let as it was then too late in the
year to do much in that line of i'm
provement. There was some disposit-
ion to postpone letting the contract at
this meeting until the September ses-
sion, but inasmuch as the same difficult
ty would be encountered in the lateness
of the season il was decided to open the
bids. The contract was awarded to
Chas. Havlatko at 32a cents per lineal
foot and furnish the material, The
resolution awarding the contract con-
tanned provision deferring work on
the contract beginning until ten days
had elapsed, which would permit parties
to build their own sidewalk. At the
end of that time all walks not con-
structed under the condemnation notice
will be laid under the contract.
The report of the city officers was
listened to next and Weigher Nielsen
reported that the receipts of his office
for July amounted to- Sl6.6O. Judg ge
Abbey had three cases before him,
which were of disorderly nature.
City Treasurer Kibbee's report showed
that there was s4, ,000.S3 in the various
funds on Aug, l. His report for July
and June were accepted.
The following bills against the city,
which were audited by the committee,
were allowed and warrants ordered
drawn for tha amo,1nts.
