Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 4, 1908,
A Question Of Distance.

A Question Of Distance.
The question of locating the
seat OF government where the
business of the state can be trans
acted with the least Inconvenience
and expense to the people Of the
state is a simple business propo-
sition which it is to be hoped the
voters of the state have sense
enough to settle in . business like
way. People who live in tho
vicinity of the rival towns will
likely be governed almost wholly
by local considerations, and in
fact the majority of the voters
will be swayed by the mere ques-
ton Of distance by railway from
their homes to the one or the
other Of the contesting towns.
This is a reasonable and valid
consideration and the voter is
fully justified in acting upon it.
From Aberdeen to Pierre by
the North w eatarn Il ia 2O1 miles.
and as the trains run now, in
Guiding q lay-over of 8 hours and
IS minutes, it takes II hours and
30 minutes to reach the capital.
Returning it can be made in 8
hours and Is minutes. From
Aberdeen to Mitchell by the Mil
waukee it is 1913 miles and as the
trains run it takes even four hours
to make the trip; returning the
time is twenty minutes longer.
From Aberdeen to Mitchell by
way of the North Western via
Salem, the road is not 90 direct
nor the connections as close as
could be desired; still it can be
made in 3 hours and 50 minutes
less time than it takes to 60 to
Pierre, and the distance is
twenty miles less.
IL the old friend of the writer,
and fe'low-farmer, who was in
this Office the other day and who
gave a very specious reason for
voting for Pierre, wero to be I'M
der tho necessity Of selecting one
town Of the several in the county
which he must patronizo exclu.
sively for all time, neiter place
having any advantage as to prices,
he would certainly decide on the
nearest town, especially if the
road to it were more passable
tho year around. The same cold
business question confronts him
in selecting q town in which his
state business must be done. His
hired man who makes laws for
him at tho capital must be paid
mileage, q mere trifle, though, in
comparison with the advantage Of
having him as close under the
eye as possible, Eand whore his
master can occasionally 60 and
inspect his work, with as little
expense IS possible and no risk
Of being snow.bound from home
. week or moro longer than the
period Of absence calculated on.
Also when he is obliged to send
his attorney to the supreme court
he will find that time, hotel bills
and railroad fare will count up in
tho expense account.
Asa moro question Of distance
to the Brown county voter, it must
DO admitted that Mitchell pos
ssssss : decided advantage over
Pierre.

THAT NEW COUNTY MAP.

p. N. Bland, of the Alma Record, has
Just completed and is now Offering the
citizens of this county a new map of
Gratiot, which is the best thing in its
line we have ever seen. 1t is far better
than the new county atlas, for several
reasons. The atlas cost $40 and is full
of errors, some of them very glaring.
The map is absolutely correct and costs
from 81 to 81, the paper being 81 and
cloth map 81. But for the farmers, or
anyone having dealings with them, it is
invaluable. Every acre OF land in the
county with the owners name appears
on the map, and if you want to find a
farmer OF know how much land he owns,
just look in the township where he re.
sides and you will soon locate him and
learn his possessions. Agents will soon
call on our people for the sale of these
maps and we predict Bro. Bland will
soon sell all he has printed, and the man
who docs not get one will ever after be
sorry Step in and look the one over

SUNDAY MORNING BLAZE.
Gasoline Stove Explosion Started n Small
Conhagration at the Hotel Fern.

On Sunday morning at about O'Clock,
just as the early Sabbath risers were be.
ginning to stir in their beds, an alarm
of fire was turned in, q gasoline stove
at the Hotel Fern being the cause Of all
the trouble. The fire department was
out in short order, but as the man who
turned in the alarm did not know where
the fire was located, his only source Of
information being given by a man who
ran out on the street near Vermeulen' s
store and yelled Fire." il was some
time before the firemen ascertained
where they were wanted, and by that
time the boarders had the flames extin-
guished with buckets Of water.
The detachable tank to the stove was
first discovered by the cook to be on fire
from leaking gasoline, and in attempt
ing to throw the thing out doors it was
overturned on the floor and in seconds
time the whole wall was in flames.
Luckily the boarders were quick to re.
spond and it was extinguished with only
about $50 damage to the building and
furniture, which was covered by in.
surance in the Hall and Spinney agen.
cies.
The event was very distressing on &C.

Thursday, was the same one he has

gave an exposition of his theories and
made the usual attacks on the corpora
tons and legislatures. Ever since
the invitation to speak was extended
to the Governor there has feen consid-
cradle difference of opinion through
out the county as to the propriety of
introducing politics at the annual
gathering of the old settlers. The
Governor was evidently aware of this
for he took occasion to point out that
his letter of acceptance clearly indi-
Gated the character Of the address he
was to make and intimated that if
there was any dissatisfaction the
blame rested with the people who ex-
tended the invitation and not with
himself. Whether or not the annual pic

WHO WILL SUCCEED KATzER
No Information Obtainable In Regard to
Archbishop's Successor

No Information Obtainable In Regard to
Archbishops Successor
TT question of the successorship to
the late Archbishop Katzer is at pres
ent the subject of much speculation
among the clergy and laity, says the
Catholic Citizen of Milwaukee. No
official information has been given out
on the subject nor will it be given
out. The consultors of the province
who chose three names to be submitted
to Rome for the appointment are
pledged not to divulge the names aud
will give no information on the SUBJ
iect. The bishops of the province who
also selected three names are equally
reticent. The clergy have not received
any information form either the con-
sultors or bishops.
The two lists of three names each
were sent from Milwaukee to Mgr.
Falconi, the papal delegate, who in
turn sends them to each of the arch
bishops of the country to get their
recommendations regarding them. In
asmuch as the arcnbishops are not
bound to any secrecy IN this matter
it is usually through these channels
that lists of the character reach the
public.
From information received, though
it is not official, it is likely that when
these lists are made public they will
he fouud RI he az f011nwS.
On the bishops list:
Ri. Rev. S. G. Messmer, D. D., Dig
nissimus.
Very Rev. A. F. Schinner, Dignior.
Very Rev.Joseph Rainer, D. D., Dig
nus.
said to be as follows:
Very Rev. A. F. Schinner, Dignis-
sinus.
Ri. Rev. S. G. Messmer, D. D., Dig
nior.
| Very Rev. Joseph Rainer, d. D.,
| Dignus.
I AS to which of the above mentioned
will be chosen for the position, or
whether any of them will be, will not
be known until Rome speaks. Bishop
Messmer undoubtedly stands in a IA
vorable light. Father Schinner, it
must be remembered, is the first choice
of the consultors of the diocese. Re.
garding Father Rainier, it may be said
| that he is in i'll health and it is hardly
thought he cares for the appointment.
Bishop Schwebach Of La Crosse, it is
understood, is not on either list and
does not wish the appointment and
probably would not accept it. OF
course there is no necessity of Rome
limiting itself to the names suggested
by the bishops or consu1tors and if
thought advisable, an outsider could
be appointed to the position.

FORMER sons and daughters gathered

of having day set apart by a city for

for years to devote an entire week to
the entertainment of former residents
