Capital Talk
No Reason For Change

The editor of the Eptome was res.
#ident of South Dakota during the TWO
other capital contests, and was sup.
porter of Pierre. We have lived here
ever since and fail to see any good rea
son why we should change our mind
AT that time we believed that Pierre
was the proper place for the capital
aud The developments OF the past four
teen years have onlyss strengthened us
in our first opinion The state has
made wonderful growth since thai
time and the country between the jim
river and the Black Hills has received
the largest influx Of the new immigra.
zion. The past two years have seen a
great change in the country west of the
Missouri river. No one can deny but
that part is settling up fast. AS the
state deveIopes the claims of Pierre for
capital grow stronger. Platte Epitome

aud Russian fleets during .he last ten
days. The Port Arthur feet came out
of the harbor aud attempted to escape,
hut was overtaken aud attacked by the
japanese f,et aud the best Of the Rus
sian ships were so badly crippled that
they were useless as iIhting machines.
The part OF the Russian feet tha,
could escape was scattered to the four
winds. The Russians lcst tae hest of
their ofiice and many men. In this
battle the Russian fleet had the advan
tage in the nun Der and size of way
ships, but the Japanese aect seems to
have been hut slightly punished.
On the l4h, Vice Admiral Kami-
mora unlered the Russian Nladi-
vostuk feet in the 3Iraighls of Korea
aud attacked it at once. The battle
las,cd five hours, and resulted in com
piele japanese victory.
The fighting at Port Arlhur has been
fearful, hut The Japs have crowded the
