- Declare RenoouaIje%e


HURON, S. D.-The committees from,
Redfeld. Mitchell and Huron, having In
charge the campaign for the resubmission
of the capital question, met in Huron and
entered into mutual agreement pledgipg
support for a plan of action which will
unite the, friends Of the different towns in
an effort to remove the capital to some
point in the James River valley.
The meeting took exception to the re-
ports being assiduously circulated, that
those favoring the removal of the capital
plan an onslaught on the public institu
lions Of the state and to allay public
opinion upon that point, passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves and
our representatives to stand together for
the continuance Of all the present public
institutions at present located, and for
such liberal appropriations for their main
tenance as may be compatible with the
resources Of the state and are favorable
moreover to the removal of the capitaI to
some one of the three towns, Mitchell.
Redaeld or Huron. and for the election of
A. B. Kittredge to the United States
senate t{l.s
The towns are in earnest in this matter
and are not attempting to use the capital
removal question as a club to prevent or
secure legislation.

with hunters after big game, but the

the most daring from going into the woods
at all, as tn eabsence Of wind to blow

travelling under the low hanging branches
very disagreeable. Especially are the
moose hunters chagrined at the prospect,
as the moose season is all but over
There Is wood famine here which. if
conditions do not change, bids fair to be-
come serious. Actually no wood is to be
had and none whatever Is being brought
in as the fall of snow came before the
sWamps were frozen over.
