WILL BRING IN ADDITION
The Green Addition East of the City
Limits Will Become a Part
of Mitchell.

The Republican was informed by a
member Of the council that at a meet
ing Of the city council on Monday ev.
ening of next week that a resolution
will be introduced Incorporating the
f. M. Greene addition, which lies
east of the city, just outside the lin
its. Some years ago the addition was
in the city for all purposes, but it
was withdrawn and remained in con-
nection with the city for school pur-
poses only. In the past year or two
there has been a large amount of
building going on out there, property
having been bought cheap and resi-
dences erected with a view OF cScap-
ing the city taxes. For some time
there has been a discussion among
the members Of the council as to the
wisdom of bringing that addition
into the city and permitting the res
idents to pay their portion of the city
taxes, and the above action has been
determined upon. Previous notice is
thus given SO that the Inhabitants
out there will know what is going to
be done.
There are 80 acres in the tract of
land and it is divided into p blocks.
and with the numerous houses that
have already been built will make
quite an addition to the taxable prop
erty of the city.
1t has been the %supposition of
many Of the residents on the addi-
ton that it could not be made a
part of the corporation without the
consent Of the owners of the proper
ty. That there might be no misun-
Outstanding Of the situation The Re-
publican quotes the following from
section 1873, Revised Code, 1903,
which relates to this point:
All lands laid out, plated or re-
corded as additions to any city in
this state may be included within
the corporate limits of such city by
a resolution Of the city council there
OF. passed by a two-thirds vote of
the entire council-elect Provided,
that said lands are adjacent to the
existing limits thereof.

Bromley is Consistent.

Ralph W. Wheelock in Minneapolis
Tribune: Repl sentative N. P.
Bromley, Of Redtield, n Of the pio-
neers in South Dakota and promi-
nent politically and professionally in
that state, passed through the city
yesterday on his return from an east
ern Tip Of recreation. Mr.. Bromley
was a factor in the negotiations last
winter which brought Mitchell into
the field as a candidate for the state
capital and considers that his town
is under obligation to stand by the
result of the caucus action at that
time. In this connection it is a mat
ter worthy of note that representa-
tlves OF the town Of Huron were most
inslstent on making the agreement
between Mitchell, Redtield and
Huron, binding through the entire
campaign. and yet the only signs of
breaking away from that agreement
comes from the last named place.
This situation as stated by Mr..
Bromley does credit to himself and
the city Of Redteld, and is but the
result of a man who, conscientious
in having made a bargain, is willing
to stand by it, ever though he was
a loser in it. Little has been said of
the compact of the three towns of
late, but the position as stated nv
Mr.. Bromley gives Huron room to get
on the rand wagon.

Charles GOrdinier Hadn't Seen Some

G. II. Gordinier, Of Letchcr, and

his younger days at Albion. N. Y.
and on bis. arrival there he had a

recognize him. We received a copy
OF the Albion American, which de-
tailed to some extent Mr.. Gordlnier's
advent into that place and the man
ner in which he revealed his identity
to his sisters and step-mother.
Mr.. Gordinier went into town az
rayed in the garb Of an agent solic-
itlng orders for charging pictures,
and called upon his sister, Mrs.
Sccor. but the lady turned him down

Mr.. Gordinier placed his hand affec-

resented the advances of the Strang-
er with much Indignation and ord
cred him from her millinery store.
Just as he reached. the door Mr..
Gordinier revealed bis identity and
the lady was Don weeping on bis
shoulder. After thirty-tive years
separation the brother and sister
were again united. Mr.. Gordinier
proceeded to call OH another sister
and his stepmother in the same
manner and with the same results.
The Americans account winds up
by saying that Mr.. Gordinier was at
once received happily into The fami-
lies Of his old acquaintance and
that he was having the rarest time
Of his life.

Mississippi State News
No Lynehinas This Year.

Mississippi is now in the middle
of the fourth month of the new
wear. and thus far not a single
iyuching has occurred. The unusual
length of the interval since an in
stance of mob violence occurred has
given rise to much speculation and
Comment among students of crime,
and some interesting theories are
advanced therefor. 1t is asserted by
some that the scarcity of lynchings
is due to the plenitude Of legal hang
;nss: that the two forms of execu-
tion act in an antithetical manner
toward each other, and as one mode
increases the other must decrease.
The official records apparently sup
port this theory, for more death sem
fences have been handed down in the
courts of Mississippi during the past
wear than during any two years Of
the States history since the war, and
the courts have been more prompt in
disposing of cases involving capi-
tal punishment. While of course
there is no telling when or where
mob violence may break loose, the
showing thus far made for 1908 is
one of which the law-abiding citi-
rens Of the State are justly y'proud.

A WonderfuI old MAN.

Capt. Lafayette Montgomery of
Madison county is going to attend
the laying of the cornerstone Of the
new million dollar state house on the
Sd of June, and he intends to ride to
the capital city on horse back. Capt.
Montgomery is 81 years of age, yet
the twenty mile journey on horse
back will be very ordinary event
for him, as he is accustomed to TAX
ing such journeys on the faithful old
mare he has been riding for the past
twenty years, and who, like her mas
ter, is quite spry and active in spite
Of the weight of advancing years.
Capt. Montgomery is one of the few
persons who. witnessed the laying of
the cornerstone of the old state
house in 1889, and he has been ex-
tended a special invitation by the
capitol commission to be present at
the coming event. Although now in
his 92d year, he is one Of the most
active farmers in Madison county,
and raises a good crop each year.

Indians still Movlno.

In spite of the reports Of unsatis-
factory treatment at Ardmore, and
the fact that many members of the
tribe have returned to the State
without waiting for their claims to
be allotted, the Choctaw Indians con-
tinue TO pass through jackson en-
route to the Indian Territory. A
coach load Of Indians, chiefly squaws
and children, passed through the city
last week in charge of one of the
attorneys who is engaged in the
speculative venture of furnishing the
members of the tribe until they are
located sufficiently long TO sell off a
portion of their newly-acquired
lands.
