wild Excitement

The Kelley institute of Sioux Falls
was the scene of much excitement the
other night.
E. E. McPeek. a one-armed man
whose home is at Garry, S. D., and
who has been a patient of the insti-
tute, abandoned his treatment and
took away his effects, preparatory to
returning to his home.
He became intoxicated, it is claimed,
and, returning to the institute, opened
fire with q revolver on members of the
staff and patients who were seated on
the veranda. One of the bullets struck
William Skewis, a patient whose home
is at Inwood, Ia. The bullet entered
his back between the shoulder blades
and about an inch and half to the
the right of the spinal column.
Physicians say that the wound is
not a dangerous one. McPeek eluded
the officers all night, but went to the
police headquarters in the auditorium
in the morning and surrendered to the
authorities.

he succeeded Garfield there would be a
clean slate by this time. and most Of the
cabinet officers would have been changed
months ago. AS 1t is. we still have Will
son, Hay, Knox and Enthusiastically
one half. And ofthese who retired, Root,
Smith and Long left only after repeated
solicitation from the president to stay.
There is no other case on record where
the policies of one administration have
been continued through another SO con
sistently, and where Eve the men Sc

under another chief the work originally
planned by them.
When Mckinley was shot he was sur
rounded by only three Of the advisers
whom he had with him at the beginning
Of his MISUNDERSTANDING, Gage and
Wilson. He had seen o changes In
the makeup Of his own cabinet than
Roosevelt has seen since the assassina-
ton. And in addition Roosevelt has
made q cabinet minister out Of McKin-
ley's private secretary just as Mckinley
had planned for him.
Since Mckinley became president
there have been three secretaries OF
state. two secretaries of war, two secre-
taries Of the navy. two secretaries Of the
treasury, three attorneys general. two
secretaries at the interior, three post
masters general and n secretary of ag-

Faulk County Wins.

Inc South Dakota state fair proved
very satisfactory to Faulk county. Its
exhibit was the best and secured first
prize by thirty-one points. The Arst
report from the state fair grounds
stated that Faulk county was placed
! N a lower position. This report was
caused by an error in casting up the
points for the different exhibits.
When the first figures were given
out they had not been revised and an
error existed which the judges and
board will hasten to correct. The to-
tal figures on-the standing and rating
OF the several counties which had a
rating ut all were as follows, out of a
possible 1000:
Faux county Isl Sphinx. .69s
Dawson. So. ZIG Bon Homme . . $40
Hughes .......7O5 Gregory........4ls
The points Of award are a matter of
record and will stand in the final ad-
justment Of awards and settlement of
the records. The fact that Faux
county has taken first place is a credit
to that part of the state, and speaks
well for it's committee, Messrs. Vinton,
Chambers and Steele.

They wished to get married without

but the young lady's father was bitter

cause of the insignificant name OF the
intended bridegroom. He did not like
the idea of his daughter reducing her
nam to only two letters.
But De was not to be defeated in his
purpose to marry the girl. He whipped
The father Of his sweetheart and then
took the girl to Ethan. where the cere-
mony was performed. The father OF
The bride then had his new son-in-law
