F. SEARS In CITY
Webster Attorney Chats
on Matters at Web
ster and Waubay.
MIR. REXFORD BACK
Some Po1itic cal Matters of Inter.
est Both Local and
Personal.

If anyone is anxious to know where
Frank Sears of Webster is and has been
for several days past it cam be stated
positively thst he IS now III Sioux Falls
where he is meeting many old friends
who have known him since Webster
sent u its first cry for standing room
on the broad prairies of Day county.
With him is.also Isaac Peterson of Wau-
bay and from them is learned several
things which are of interest TO the pub
lie. Mr. Sears is one of the leading
attorneys of the north part Of the state
and is the nominee of the republicans
for the office Of states attorney Of Day
county. He says that his county is now
normally republican by about 400
majority, whereas it was once n of
the most radical populist strongholds in
the state, and whether that majority
will be reached depend upon the effort
made to get ont the full vote. So fara as
known at the present time there is no
organized opposition to the proposition
to bond Day County in the sum of $50,
600 to build a new court house and Jail,
and there is little doubt but the propo-
sition will carry by a very large
tmajority.
Those familiar with the history of the
state in the days of the %prohibitory
liquor law remember it was Attorney
Sears who secured the conviction at
Aberdeen of the only v~iolator of the law
who received a pe~nitentiary sentence;
the name of the man is not now recalled
but he was sent up for a term of years,
and afterwards pardoned. Mr.. Sears
also secured the conviction of the man
Burke of Day county now serving a ten
year sentence for an unmentionable
crime. ..s
1t is learned through Mr.. Sears and
Nh. Peterson that Manson Rexford is
back to Waubay to remain, being iden-
tilted with the First National Bank
recently established, and there is not a
resident of Waubay or Day county who
would hesitate about throwing his hat
in the air because Of Mr.. Rexford's
return to stay. Z. r. Thompson of the
bank referred TO is the republican no1ni-
nee from Day county for the state senate
and viii probably head the list of large
majorities. From MIR. Sears it is also
learned that G. S. Blodgett of Waubay
is back from Vermont where he has
been periodically or oftener since 1854
angling for a particular fish in one of
the lakes of that region. This year he
borrowed a South Dakota fish pole and
went with ''blood in his eye" but he
brought the fish back in just the same
manner that he did the last time he
went after it and didn't make a CATCH
Argus Leader.

When FIGURING on the new cou

When figuring on the new court
house proposition with the county
auditor we find that the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway
company "ill poy S6,000;the City of
Webster viii pay $4,000, md the
lands of the county will be assessed
about fifty cents per quarter. The
court house is something that Day
county has needed for years and all
of our people are now in the most
prosperous circumstances and the
rate of taxation upon the assessed
valuation will be so low that the
amount will not be missed by any
of the taxpayers.

For thirteen years, according to
Commissioner Shober. the average
payment for fire insurance has been
49.7 cents on the dollar of premiums
paid and for the past year the pay
ment has been 40 on the dollar. In
the face of these facts the advance OF
twenty-five per cent, on the insur-
ance rates of the state would seem
like anything but genteel robbery.
1t is the coarsest kind of hoggery,
and is liable to meet up with some
adverse legislation between o and

A special to the city papers states
that up to this year no effort was
made to secure water and wells in
the range country, it being taken for
granted that a country with SO few
running streams could not furnish
water except at a depth too great to
make it available. With the coming
of settlers this summer they have
been prospecting and have found
plenty of good water at a depth Of
from eleven to twelve feet, and
assured themselves of q plentiful
supply Of water at all times.

No intelligent person after reading
the result of the conference called by
President Roosevelt between the
miners and the operators can help
but admire the position taken by
President Mitchell for the miners.
His proposition was nor than fair
and by making it he enlisted the
sympathy Of the whole country with
his cause. The other side refused
to do anything and now all that
remains is to wait. The pesple will

now an old mau. au3 sntertalu-l
him at his larry Forest home. TIE

and chose to send for the surgeon
of his youth. They talked it over,
ard then Rockefeller asked Cor The
bill, remarking: 81 Won't keep
you waiting as l did years ago.
Things have changed since then"
"Oh, 1 am ont Of practice;
wish % fee, Mr. Rockefeller That
is all right Don't mention it.
Rockefeller opened a drawer at
his desk, disclosing few pounds
of new greenbacks Putting a few
bills in al envelope, he handed t
to the surgeon, saying: DWELL, If
you do not want to take fee, give
this to some poor young doctor Of
youl acquaintance " There was
$500 in the envelope, and after ar
rival home the Old surgeon did not
think of any young doctor to whom
be could give the money, and kept
it.

OBITUARY

HON. WILLIAM HuNrrINe JEssUP.
Mr. Jessup, the we'll known law
ser, died suddenly at Scranton
Thursday morning, Jan. l6, Of heart
failure. lie had been in his usual
good health and the previous day
twas engaged in the courts. He was
seized with a severe coughing spell
and in less than FIVE minutes he died.
Judge Jessup was born in Montrose,
Susqnehanna county, January 20,
1880, graduated at Yale college In
1919, was admitted to the bar in 1851
and Immediately began practice
which became highly successful.
He engaged in politics, was a dele
gate to the convention which nomin-
ated Grant in 1868 and delegate-at-
large from Pennsylvania to the con
vention which nominated Blaine in
1884. Though not entering thearmy
he was appointed Major OF the 2sth
Regt. Vol Militia and in 1871 was
commissioned by Governor Greary
Major General 10th Division n. G.
PA. He was also collector Of inter
nal revenue for a term. In August,
1877. he was appointed president
Judge Of the 34th judicial district to
fill a vacancy caused by the death Of
Judge Streeter and served until 1879.
In 1885 he opened an Office in Scran-
ton and became one Of the leading
lawyers at that bar.
The passage Of the Kansas-Nebras-
ka act in 1854, which forced a coal
ition Of all who opposed the extension
of slavery in the territories, revived
the republican party and Mr.. Jessup
identified himself with that organi-
zation and was all his life an earnest
and uncompromising advocate Of its
principles. AS a lawyer he was
deeply read, indefatigable in the
preparation Of his cases, quick to
compreb End the principles involved,
tenacious of every point, subtle and
acute in reasoning, clear and cogent
in presentation to the court and force
full and eloquent in delivering his
addresses to the jury. His manner
was urbane and pleasant and always
courteous to his opponent. He was
a faithful and consistent member of
the Presbyterian church and took
great interest in its affairs. His
father was for many years president
judge of the courts here, and two
brothers are now missionaries, Henry
III. at Beirut and Samuel at Sidon,
Syria. Judge Jessup is survived by
his wife, three daughters and one
son, who was his law partner.
