SOME THING FORFALL
Mitchell Should Take Steps at Once to
Arrange for Some Attractions in

FOR A FALL ATTRACTION.
Steps Should be Taken at Once to
Get in Readiness for a Fall
Attraction.

1t is not likely that Mitchell will hold
corn palace this fall, the concensus Of
opinion seeming to be that something
else ought to take it's place. There has
been some talk hat fall festival or
street fair should take,the place of The
corn palace, but it basu't got much
farther than talk 1t should be thor
oughly understood chat something
along this line should be Undertaken
and work on the project should com.
mence at once. Dates should be select
ed and the Information sent all ever
the state and over into Iowa and Hi
| nois that Milcnell will have something
to show notonly the people of its own
state but those OF adjoining states as
| we'll.
The success of past exhibitions in
Mitchell ought 10 encourage the move
ment being taken up without delay and
HE REPUBLICAN would suggest that
meeting be called OF the business men
OF the city-and when we say business
men of the city we mean every man
who has the interests of the city at
heart. The work should not be put on
two or three men but every one should
take an acti, pert and stand behind
the management, willing and ready to
do everything TO further the success of
the enterprise.
Just what will be the best thing to
have can better be brought out in a
public meeting where all can express
their opinion on the matter. With the
dates announced and something OF the
general character Of the entertainment
given out the people can lay their plans
for coming to Mitchell. Let the matter
be taken up at once and pushed to a
final conclusion.

WHERE WILL 1T END?
Quarantine Regulations Violated by
Those Who Have Been Shut
in by the Authorities.

IhOre are several cases of smallpox
in the country which have been placed
under quarantine by the superintendent
of the board of health and it was sup
posed that the regulations in reference
to the quaran tines would be observed
by those under the quarantine. There
is case, however, up to the county
board to dispose of in this connection.
A certain house in the country, about
two miles, was placed under quarantine
for the smallpox and the regulations
were observed for the first time. The
house was fumigated and the quaran-
tine removed when the patient became
well. The next day another member of
the family came down with the disease
and the house was again quarantined.
The head OF she family evidently didn't
propose TO sGay away from town a1y
longer aud in utter violation OF the
law drove to Mitchell.
This was done in spite of the fact
that the law in reference to violating
the quarantine was printed in the
county paoers and it was shown what
the penslty would be for such violation.
lt ls not an agreeable matter to make
an example of any person for violation
CT the law, when previous violations
have not been punished, but it is nec-
essary that the public health should be
regarded TO some extent in these mat
ters. If one person ia permitted to step
over the quarantine regulations with
out being lnterferred with by the law,
then others can, with the same assur-
ance OF not being molested, violate the
law. The quarantine regulations are
for the purpose of preventing the
spread of disease, and where will the
public health be protected if one can
leave quarantined house and move
among other people.
Ii it Is demonstrated to every person
that the board of health OF the city and
county is going to enforce the quaran-
tine at all hazards then it will have a
wholesome effect in the future. There

ters have got to be closely watched
next fall and winter and when the pub
lie com mences to become conscious of
this fact the necessity for strict regula-
tions of the guar antine will be appar-
ent. The county board Of health will
hold meeting the latter part of the
month and this case of the violation of
the guarantee will be taken up and
some conclusion reached in the matter
The public has right 10 demand that
the regulations be observed.

HAVE A NEW PRINCIPAL.
Prof. Popham, Who Was First
Elected, Declines to Come to
Mitchell for School Work.

Secretary Wallace of the school
board received communication for
Prof. POI ham, who was elected as the
principal of the high school, that he
would be unable to accept the position
that was tered him, owing to The fact
That he had been elected at another
place where the salary was little
higher. Prof. Hough was the next
applicant toward whom the board felt
inclined to give the position. Monday
morning e1r. Wallace telephoned Mr..
Hough at Artesian. where he ia con-
Quoting q teachers institute, OF the
vacancy and rendered him the san 9
place, that being the instructions of the
board in Case MIR. Popham did not &C.
cept. Prof. Hough informed Mr.. Wal
lace that :.e would accept the offer, and
q contract was forwarded him Monday.
Prof. Hough's salary will be $1,000 a
year, nearly 5000 more than the other
mans salary. Prot. Hough is recog-
nized over the state as one of the best
teachers. He has been teaching in the
Plankinton schools for several years as
the principal OF the schools.

left out before by mistake. II the rain
keeps up with the same regularity for
the ensuing ten days as it has for the
pact two weeks the $50 inches that fell
during the month OF June, 1891, will be
put in the shade. There has been
thirteen days in this month when the
water has fallen.
The reports from the country are to
the effect that the wind did q little
damage to grain, particularly to rye
and other grains that have attained q
higher growth. This was blown down
in many localities, but it is hardly
thought the injury will be permanent.
South Dakota is making record
this year for rainfall and practically
every part of the state sends out the
same report OF the great amount of
water that has fallen. There is one
thing about the soil-it can stand q
great deal of water and at the same
time it can get along in very good
shape without very much, as has been
shown in past years. This ought to be
q record breaking crop year, if the COR
dltions remain about the same until the

TO REPAIR BUILDING.
Mrs. sickler States That She Will
Have the Opera House in
Order by Nov. L.

According to the statement by Mrs.
Sickler. who owns an interest in the
Grand Opera house building, she will
have the building repaired and put in
fine shape for an opera house by Nov. 1.
Mrs. Sickler will go to Milwaukee Nor
day morning to consult with Mr.. Peer
less in reference to the proposed re-
building, and she says she feels conf
dent that after conference with him
personally that there will be no delay
in making the Improvements. Mrs.
Sickler has So, 800 invested in the opera
house and Mr.. Peerless has $500 in
the structure and che says she can see
no reason why the building cannot be
repaired and put to the use intended.
Neither one, she said, could afford to
let the building stand Idle any longer
with the amount of money invested In
it, and she feels pretty safe in saying
that the partially destroyed structure
will be rebuilt by the date mentioned.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY.
DR.. Crane Suffered Broken Finger
and Number of Bruises in
a Runaway Thursday.

Runaway Thursday.
DR.. w. E. Crane and mis- driver, Will
Huffman, ,came in last Thursday mig ht
from a trip south of Mt.Vernou by team
and the DR.. was q sorry looking object.
A few miles south of Mt. Vernon one of
the horses commenced kicking without
any apparant cause and started to run
away. In the antics4the animal cut up.
the necky oke broke and then the two
men were at the mercy of the horses.
DR.. Crane said the situation was get
ting too warm for him and he jumped
from the buggy. In 80 doing he placed
his crippled hand upon the st at arm and
jumped but the grasp of the doubled up
fogers did not release and ne was
dragged about 200 yards through mud
and water. The hand finally tore loose
when the fore finger was broken. Hult-
man hung on 10 the team for little
distance when he WAS thrown from the
buggy and dragged some distance.
The two men went to Mt. Vernon,
where the buggy was fixed, and they
got into Mitchell little while before
the storm broke. DR.. Crane said that
this was the third runaway he has been
in since the first of the year and that
they are getting little too numerous
for him.

There was grest game of ball
played at the river Sunday between
Mitchell and Salem, the latter being
strengthened by good players from
Alexandria. The errors were conspic-
uous features of the game on both sides
and on one or two high throws to first
the ball went into the river. The left
hand batters had a chance to put the
ball into the river and two of Mitchell,s
mon put the ball in soak, and home
run was scored while the ball was being
fished out of the water. Dott did the
pitching for Salem until the fourth in
ming, when he was knocked out of the
box for seven runs and he retired for
another man. Miller pitched the game
for Mitchell. After nine long innings
the score resulted 10 to in favor OF
Mitchell. Neither team played game
OF ball that any body could be proud of.
DeCelle umpired the game and tried
to be as fair for one side as the other.

CLEANING OUT CUTTERS.
Main Street Looks Much Better Since
the Chief Had the Cement
Cutters Cleaned Out.

Chief Keith had small force of men
out Monday cleaning out the ce-
menS cutters along Main street. They
were pretty dirty and made the street
look anything but attractive. II would
seem that it would not be very much
trouble for the business men TO have
the cutters swept out every morning.
1t would not take over five minutes
extra work and the cleanliness of them
in front of store would far more than
repay for the labor. There are some
business men who have this done now
but it is not sufficiently general to
make much OF an impression.
