A QUEER MIX UP.

With Long and Moran on first and
second, a pretty mix-up resulted in the
base-running business. Moran's vision
must have been temporarily impaired,
as he started to run Long OF second,
and got too far along to turn back in
safety. Catcher Warner had tn ball.
and Immediately went chasing Moran,
who stopped short half way to second.
After finally closing in on Moran, Long
was on third before the Giant could
stop him. During all this time the
home plate was left without guardian
and when Long reached third there
was nothing to prevent him from scor-
ing; but the lynx-eyed Van Haltren,
who was in the party that gathered
around second, spied the opportunity
and FASTENED to the plate. While the

The people of Day county aer
called upon to elect a states attor-
ney to succeed Mr.. Taylor. This is
no trifing matter and the voter
should give it mature attention. The
first term of the circuit court under
Taylor's successor will find a large
criminal calendar with many of the
most important cases that have ever
come before the courts of Day
county. Here are a few of the cases:
State of South Dakota VS.. +. M.
Bean, charged with embezzlement
from the Singer Sewing Machine
Company.
State of South Dakota VS.. Reed,
who is charged with breaking or
attempting to break into a store at
Bristol.
State of South Dakota VS.. Joseph
Levinga, charged with house break
ing.
State of South Dakota VS.. Block,
charged with grand larceny.
State of South Dakota VS.. Albert
and Peter Davidson, chatged with
the murder of Rael Sandal.
State of South Dakota VS.. Joseph
Carter, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon.
These are but a few of the cases
already upon the calendar. The
question that confronts the voter is:
Whom do you want to prosecute
these cases?" II you want to sec
the criminals get their deserts
according to law and we're hiring an
attorney yourself, would you 60 out
and employ an attorney who has had
absolutely no experience in the
prosecution of criminals, a mere
student, in fact, before the bar, or
would you get the very best legal
ability possible to secure?
Mr.. Anderson is a lawyer Of little
experience in civil cases, and practi-
cally none in criminal cases. On
the other hand, Mr.. Sears is one OF
the leading criminal lawyers of South
Dakota. He has been states attor.
ley of Day county beforehand during
that time secured more criminal con.
victions than any attorney Day
county has had before or since. He
is admitted on all sides to be the
best jury lawyer in Day county and
has been prominently successful in
the cases that have been appealed tt
the supreme court.
Criminal cas- cost the county q
great deal of money any way, and
the county cannot afford to prosecute
unless it has an attorney that is
sufficiently yersed in the law and
practice to secure convictions.
Another reason for electing Mr..
Sears rs that if the county has an
able attorney there will be less crime
than if would-be offenders knew
that the states attorney was a weak

COMMISSIONERS

The choice of men to take charge
of the county's business for the next
two years was a matter that was
given the most careful attention by
the republican caucuses of the four
commissioner districts, and in each
district the man chosen was one who
had been successful in his own pri-
vate business and one who could
afford to give the time and attention
necessary to the county's affairs.
They r all farmers and men who
have lived in the county for years
and are thoroughly acquainted with
the county's needs. The first dis
trict nominated j. S. Waganowski,
of Kosciusko township. The second
district nominated Matthew Tracy, of
Webster township. The fourth
selected w. III. Goodrich, Of Andoyer.
In the fifth district NJ. b. Long was
the nominee.

to say that ne mad been a good
officer. Mr.. Rich is one of the old
and has always borne a
splendid reputation as a man. He
is a lifelong republican. We believe
the voters of Day county will say
by their ballot on November 4th,
you have made a good officer for
one term and we are not going to
change a certainty for an uncertainty.
JOHN II. LUND.
At the last election the republi-
cans nominated and elected John III.
Lund as county judge. During the
tenure of his Office he has given uni
versal satisfaction. Always com
modating and pleasant, and possess
ing a splendid legal education he has
given the Office the most satisfactory
government it has had during the
history of the county. 1t is no
wonder hat his denomination was
made by reclamation, and we predict
that his election will be almost as
one-sided.
M. G. scHENEcKER.
Going Oh the theory that an officer
who faithfully performs the duties
of his Office for one term is entitled
to a second the republican conyen-
ton renominated M. G. Schenecker,
of Bristol, for the position of county
coroner. DR.. Schenecker is a physi-
clan and surgeon with a large and
lucrative practice. BE has given the
office close attention during his first
term and will continue to do SO for
two years after January LIST.
WILLIAM ICELAND.
Two years ago when the present
incumbent of the county auditors
office was running for the first time
the republicans opposed his election,
but he was successful. This year it
was different. The republicans in
convention assembled realized that
William Egeland had made the very
best auditor that Day county had
ever had. He was competent and
accommodating, had also used less
clerk hire than any of his predeces-
sors, they therefore put their stamp
of approval upon his past term by
nominating him as their candidate,
and he runs without opposition.
JosEPHus ALLEY.
The present incumbent of the
county Surveyors Office stands alone
as the only Surveyor in the county,
and he is a capable one, too, For
these two reasons the republican
county convention nominated
Josephus Alley for county Surveyor.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
For these important offices in the
county the republicans have nomi
mated Carl Malmberg, of Webster,
L. w. Lewis, 0 Andover, d. w. Hus-
song, of Waubay, and E. B. Marston,
of Pierpont. These men are all
thoroughly competent to preside
over the justice courts of the county
and are sound minded, sensible men
who r just the kind to deal out
justice to the letter of the law.

When the convention came to the
