WAS IT FOUL PLAY?
This Was at First Charged Touching
Death OF Fred Martin.

Pierre, S. D.. March This city was
excited yesterday by the finding of the
dead body of Fred Martin lying by the
railroad track near the east side sta
ton. The cause Of the death is q mys-
terry.
Foul play was charged by the rela-
tives of Martin, but the examination
of the remains, so far as reported by
the, physicians, shows no indication of
any bruise or wound of any kind,
which has put an end to any such the
DRY as to the cause of death, about
the only foundation for his charge in
the first place being a quarrel between
Martin and a relative in regard to
loading certain property In n car for
shipment to Seattle.
1t is supposed Martin was running
to catch a train. Martin leaves a wife
and one child.

ENORMOU CAPITALIZATION.
In February South Dakota Granted
Charters Aqqreaatinq q Billion.

Pierre, S. D., March THE business
transacted in the way Of interpretations
by the office of the secretary of state
for February consisted of the Issuance
of charters to 124 domestic corporations,
with a combined capital of 1891 ,35l, 700.
Charters to six state banks, with a
combined capital of $50, 900, n Il
charter to a railroad company with a
capital Of $3.50. 900.
The total fees received by the office
for the month amounted to 81, ZIG. so,
which is $170 in excess Of January,
making it of the heaviest months
for the office. The immense capitali-
cation of domestic corporations Is
largely accounted for in the filing of
articles by the Abbatoir company,
which was filed principally by New
York parties, with a capitalization of
5000, 000, 900.

Compact to Agree on Federal

tlonal capital, would indicate mat the
compact between he South Dakota
delegates in congress regarding APP
pointments at the opening of the pres
ent session of congress has received a
jar which is liable to result in a total
abrogation of the agreement.
At the opening Of congress IT was
given out that the two senators and
two congressman from this state had
made a compact whereby it was nee.
essary for the unanimous Endorsement
of ali four to be obtained before h
name of an applicant for any of the
federal offices in South Dakota should
be sent to the president. Everything
worked tremendously until the huron
land office was reached The terms of

office expired the fore part~of F'ebru-

Westdahl and c. A. Blake, the present
receiver and register, were candidates
for reappointment. Within the past
few days it has been given out from
Washington that Westdahl had with

South Dakota delegation had united

ter. Senators Kittredge and Gambl
and Congressman Martin are for Mr..
Blake, while Congressman Burke hangs
off for "A. w. Wilmarth. 1t is well
known here that during the last ses-
sion of the state legislature, when the
capital removal bill came up, Congress-
man Burke was long on promises for
support to kill the bill, and at that
time he promised A. w. Wiimarth,
who was a member of the legislature,
the position Of register Of the Huron
land office. Wilmarth's action in ADAM
doning the capital removal party is
well known.
Now Burke is determined to repay
the debt and is standing out against
the other three members of congress.
1t is reported by parties returning from
Washington hat Senator Kittredge
and Congressman Burke have had a
number Of stormy sessions over this
position and that recently Senator Kit
tredge has informed Congressman.
Burke that he must come to the sup
port of Blake or he will not get any
thing further himself. hittredge will
stand by Blake to the last and every
one who knows Kittredge knows that
he is no gutter. Burke has anything
but smooth sailing ahead of him. He.
would like to use the federal appoint
ments to strengthen his fences. While
Kittredge would undoubtedly like TO
nave the delegation unite on Blake n
have him reappointed and confirmed,
Blake, certainly has the best of the sit
uation as he has the office and will
hold on until his successor is appoints

SOUTH DAKOTA HEROES.
Plan to Commemorate War Records
Of State University Students.

Vermillion, S.. D., March 11.-Presi-
dent Garret Droppers of the state uni
versity here, together with John L..
Jolley, O.. w. Thompson and F. w.
Medbury, have issued an open letter to
the people of South Dakota, asking
Them to contribute by private subscrip-
ton the sum of :, 900, which is intend
ed to repair a room or a at the
state university commemorative of the
patriotism of the students Of the uni
vCrsity and the citizens of South Da-
kota who participated in the Spanish
and Filipino vars. The room will be
on the third floor of a new building at
the university, which will be known as
Science hall. 1t is proposed to fit up
this room with inscriptions and me-
mortal tablets In honor of the citizens
of South Dakota and the students Of
the university who participated in the
a mentioned above, The principal
tablet Will be Of white marble, with
the dedication in black letters. In adj
dition to this there are to be the names
of all the officers and men from South
Dakota who fell in the war against
Spain inscribed on mural tablets on
the different sides of the room. There
are, Furthermore, to be busts and bias
reliefs of those who attained distinc-
ton in the late war or other military
achievements of the state. Lastly, it is
intended to provide some few military
decorations, such AS crossed sabers,
crossed bayonets, flags, etc. The letter
concludes as follows:
We especially make an appeal to
the friends and relatives of those who
died in the recent war, so that some
memory of those who contributed their
lives may remain permanently in the
state. In many states Of the union
such immortal rooms have been estab-
lished in connection with their chief
educational institutions, and we trust
that those persons who have been con-
nected with the recent war, and those
| who are Interested. directly or indi-
rectly, in the maintenance of true pa
triotism and in a permanent memorial
for those who shed their blood in de-
tense of their country will contribute
generously toward his object"
Contributions are directed to be sent
to OrNille W. Thompson. cashier Of the
First National bank, Vermillion. The
Legislative appropriation was too small
to make allowance for the suitable fit
ting up of the proposed memorial room.

Be Sioux Falls and
Early.
MANY DENOMINATIONS
MANY DENOMINATIONS
Governor, Congressman and Sec
rotary of State Slated for Con-
tlnusncc-SpecuIatlon as to
Other OffIcas.

Aberdeen, S. D., March 11.-Frank
Crane, chairman of the republican
state central committee. has called a
meeting of the committee for Sioux
Falls on the Goth, to fix time and place
for holding the state convention.
Watertown and Sioux Falls are the
only Known candidates for the conven-
ton, and the chances seem to favor
the latter, though WATERFOWL will un-
doubtedly make a stubborn fight. AS
to the time of holding the convention,
an early date, say about June 10, will
be generally favored in this part Of
the state. So far as the United States
senatorship is concerned. the present
incumbent, Senate kittredge, has
given such general satisfaction hat he
has the field entirely to himself and
no other name has been or will be
mentioned. There is a very decided
sentiment in favor of his Endorsement
by the state convention.
Governor Herreid and Secretary of
State o. c. Berg of Redfield, each serv-
ing his first terju, LAY performed the
duties of their offices so well that their
denomination would be a foregone con
clusion even without the unwritten law
in regard to giving the incumbent q
second nomination.
congressman Burke and Martin will
both be renominated, probably by ac-
clamation.
For state treasurer, sentiment seems
to be crystallizing in favor of c. B.
Collins of Groton, while S. H. Elrod. of
Clark county appears to be in the lead
for railroad commissioner for the
northern district.
The fight in the convention will be
on attorney general, commissioner Of
school and public lands, n superin-
tendent of public instruction, for all of
which positions there are a legion of
candidates and some of the back coun-
ties still to be heard from.
Governor Herreid has taken no ac-
ton as yet in relation to appointing a
successor for Attorney General John L.
Pyle. The place would probably be
rendered to. Philo Hall Of Brookings
were it not for the fact that being a
state senator renders him ineligible.

inesota champions of forest preserva-
ton have been somewhat dashed by
recent DEVELOPMENTS in connection with
the Chippewa Indian reservation. 1t
was proposed at first to save the whole
tract Of ancient pine lands for sclen-
tific care as a national forest. Inc
vaccinations of lumbermen, some
pressure from other quarters to open
the lands for settlement, and the will
ingness of Minnesota representatives
TO truckle to both sorts of self-seekers
have led to a considerable modification
of the original plan. The segregation
of forest lands is to be limited, accord
ing to present proposals, to 225,oOl
acres, and these are not to be turned
over to the department Of agriculture
until the pine timber, or all but b per
cent Of it, has been removed.

The Hepburn Nicaraguan bill

probable that this route, and not the

tied upon. In either case, the COM

the two oceans will materially change
the commerce Of the world The
commerce of the United States will
be greatly increased, and closer re-

The average wo.nan's life is monot-
onous. The daily routine OF house
hold duties is not calculated to
broaden the mind; there is not
enough Of change in environment.
Both mind and body require change,
rest, recreation. Perhaps the women
are themselves largely to blame
They do not work Systematically.
They do not plan to have leisure
time. They allow themselves to set
tie down into mouotony that is de-
structive to health and happiness.
Surely by a little determination time
could be found each day for half
hours reading, and for an hours ex-
ercise in the open air. An hour
spent out Of doors each day would do
much towards enlivening the mind
and envigorating the body. The
| average woman needs more of sun
| shine, less Of drugs; more of mental
stimulus, less Of drudgery; and it is
the woman's own fault il she allows
herself to be deprived OF her share Of
diversion and recreation.

CHARACTER AS CAPITAL.

There is notion lodged in the
minds Of some men that the paths
leading to success are necessarily
crooked. Because many ,upprinci-
pied men have accumulated money
or become political leaders or built
up large mercantile establishments,
many come to think that it pays to
depart from the paths Of rectitude
But is this really true? Is it not n
fact that the best capital an aspir-
ing young man can have is good
character and good name? Is there
3 business firm in Union that would
advance Or even retain Il clerk known
to be guilty Of theft? There are SER
wants receiving double the amount Of
pay it would take to put some one in
their places who would be just as
efficient in SO far as the matter OF
work is concerned. Why arc these
high priced servants retained? Sim
ply because they may be trusted.
They have shown themselves TO be
honest, as well as good workers. In
every calling good character forms u
good working capital. Let yourg
man establish good reputation and
let that reputation be founded upon
a good character, and there is little
doubt of his ultimately succeeding.
Let it be understood that there are
higher grounds upon which we may
plead for an upright life, This is in
deed the lowest ground upon which
we may base the appeal. But even
here, the weight OF the argument is
on the side Of right.
