The Sentinel last evening, referring TO
The DAILY LEADERS article announcing
Hon. II. P. Smith for mayor, says:
The Sentinel can join with many cit.
izsns in endorsing the commendable
things said OF Hon. H. p. Smith"
Most assuredly. There is not a word
to be said otherwise. Mr.. Smith is big
enough. and broad enough ia his views,
and possesses the business capacity to
successfully perform the executive du-
ties OF n city several times larger than
Madison. His manner and suggestions
IN public meetings Of the city held for
the discussion Of commercial questions,
long ago brought out remarks that he ia
possessed OF the right qualifications and
views for a good mayor. Few men in
any community are just like II. p.
Smith, and SO situated that they can
carry out plans for the betterment OF q
community it given the opportunity.
First. he is enterprislDg in a marked de-
gree: recognizes the good in education,
social u%pbuildlng and commercial ad-
vancement. Second, he is energetic and
ready to do and does do any public work
assigned him; no stammering or hating,
but moves right ahead and accomplishes
whatever he undertakes; liberal IN pub
lie contribution to every good cause.
Third, he isI possessed OF financial means
to crafty all his desires in matters OF
public moment, the performance OF
which is his pleasure. And withal he
has had broad experience in executive
affairs. Madison is to be congratulated
upon it's opportunity TO secure Hon. H.
P. Smith for mayor.

Ia his letter OF acceptance to the eight

Yes, certainly; that is what each citi-
Q would desire; but would he expect it
in view OF Mr.. Porter's past record in
office? Hardly. MI. Porter was once
states attorney before and though much

The ugly rumor that attached to Mr..
Porter's reputation at that time as the
cause OF his sudden change OF action has
never been publicly explained away. nor

1t was during that same a%dministra-

The federal court at Sioux Falls was
treated to a surprise Tuesday morning
when the Kirby case was called G. II.
Winsor, attorney for Kirby challenged
the legality Of the jury on the grounds OF
bias in drawing, sdducing af1idavits TO
show that the court commissioners who
drew the Jury were Of the came political
party when they should have been OF
different parties. and many other defects
that are perhaps best set forth in the
following affidavit OF Mr.. Kirby:
This affidavit was very lengthy. It set
up that the counties OF Minnehaha,
Lake, Moody, McCook, Lincoln. Union
and Miner had been excluded / n drawing
jurors when the law said that the jurors
should be drawn ,ndiscriminately from
the district. That the clerk and Jury
commissioner who were biased and pro-
JUDGED against defendant had mani
pulated matters so that % republicans
were drawn on the jury against - Of all
other political parties. That while in
the district there was 40 per vent OF
Catholics, but one Irish Catholic-,he
nationality and religion of the defendant
was drawn on the jury. That the re-
publican press of the state, particularly
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, had
printed scurilous and untruthful ac-
counts OF the case to the retirement OF
the defendant; that Clerk 0. s. Psndar
was prejudiced against him on account
Of lawsuit which defendant conducted
against said Pendsr in MoCook county
some years ago, at which time said Pen.
dar told Kirby he would regret his work
that the United States District Attorney
]. E. Elliot was p~rejudloed against de.
PENDANT on account Of tn part taken by
defendant in exposing corruption and
.chicanery on the part OF certain republi.
can politicians.
Judge Munger asked District Attorney
Elliott il he would like to make any
answe and that official stated that he
would like time to secure afidavits in
rebuttal and court took q recess until
p. N. to allow such afidavits to be pre-.
pared.

At last the final moment came. HI
had attended the service at ST. Pauts
and sung the national anthem until ne

the back by hundreds of warm heart
ed citizens. He had even fought hli

Bunhil Row to Nine Elms. where no

them to Southampton. There. TOO,

only a few articles of furniture bsans

a providertial change in the direction
of the wind that the fiye houses be-
tween that of Gen. White and the point
were saved from destruction. AS IL
was the adjoining houses were
scorched but not damaged TO any ex-
tent. The wind. which, when the fire
broke out came from about north
northwest. changed to the northeast,
blowing off shore. and carried the
sparks and embers into the water
The lightning hit large tin ball on
the cupola of the house and in an in
stsnt flames danced from several
points on the roof. q. w. Doane, who
occupies a house nearby, saw the
flames and at once smashed window
on the ground floor and proceeded 10
save some OF the furniture. Seeing
that the flames were increasing he ran
