PRINTING OFFICE BURNED
Fred L. Harris Has a Fine Outfit
DESTROYED by Fire

The Milbank Review says Fred Har.
ris at one time a Brookings printer
recently lost his Office by fire and re.
ports the burning as follows:
The Mclean County Miner print
ing Office and residence building, at
Washburne, n. ID owned by Fred l..
Harris, formerly Of this city, was tot
ally destroyed by fire the last week in
January. Mr.. Harris was away from
home at the time. The loss was $4,000
with insurance of $4,000. The origin
of the fire is a mystery. 1t broke out
during the night while Mrs. Harris
was asleep. Mr.. Harris has been in a
hard fight with sundry local parties
and the war became quite bitter. He
had been threatened a number Of
times with dire vengeance, and there
is presumption that his building was
set afire by some Of his enemies.

Record of Capital Contest

Probably the best test of the popu
lar sentiment of the state in regard to
the location Of the state seat OF
government was the election for the
location of the temporary capital hello
in 1889.
At that time every town that con
sidered itself, fer some local or special
reason, favorably situated for becom
ing the capital Of the state was free
to become a candidate, and at that
election every town stood upon its own
particular merits.
The result was that Pierre received
-, 266 votes, while Mitchell received
only 1898 votes out Of total vote OF
77,115. Or, over one-third Of the
state voted in favor Of Pierre as
against all the other towns in the
state, while the vote was approxi-
mately ten to one against the town OF
Mitchell.
In this election Pierre carried 2f
counties, while the remaining candi-
date towns carried only "a COMMITTEES
between them, of which Mitchell car
ried only outside of its own county
Of Dawson.
In the contest Of 1890 for the loca-
tion of the permanent capital Of the
state, the city of Pierre lost the vote
Of only one of the 26 counties that
had supported it the previous year,
% of those counties remaining still in
line for their first choice; while 5 of
the counties that had given majorities
against the city Of Pierre at the elec-
tion for the temporary capital the
previous year, gave heavy majorities
in its favor in the location of the per-
manent capital. In addition to this,
Stanley county, which cast its first
vote in 1890, polled solid vote for
the city OF Pierre, without one oppos.
Ing or scattering vote.
Thus, at the election for the selec-
tion of the permanent seat of govern
ment held 10 1890, the city of Pierre
carried 81 counties, out of the 81 coun-
ties constituting the whole state, and
received 4l,969 votes against 34,6l0
votes cast for the city of Huron,
which, as shown by the previous cleo
tion in 1880 was more than two-fold
stronger rival than the town of Nit
chell.
Now, all the conditions existing in
this year 1904, which are calculated
to affect the question of capital loca-
tion, are very much more favorable to
the claims Of the city of Pierre than
they were in the years 1889 or 1890.
Why, then, should it be presumed
that the people of the state will
reverse their previous judgment and
decision to favor the candidate town
which was shown, in the year 1899, TO
have the least strength Of almost any

Minnesota Wants Him.

1t is reported that Jas. Temple has
been offered the position OF trainer
for the University Of Minnesota. The
REGISTER would regret very much to
have Mr.. Temple severe his connec-
tion from the Agricultural college
because it would mean that the track
team was to loose an important factor
in it's success. We believe the South
Dakota athletes are as deserving of
having a good coach and trainer as
the "U" OF Minnesota.

"LAMB FESTIVAL"
A Little Celebration at the Home
of Frank Sherwin, Sr.

A Little Celebration at lne Home
Of Frank Sherwin, Sr.
Considerable publicity was gwen
Frank Sherwin, Sr., last fall because
Of his arrest for the alleged crime #
stealing sheep" which is said to have
occurred at Miller while this we'll
known dealer in live mutton was
shipping several carloads Of sheep from
that point to Brookings
Mr.. Sherwin and his family enjoy a
good joke about as we'll as anybody
and, while this no doubt proved an
expensive one at the time, they are
not done with 1t yet; it still forms a
subject for jest and merriment at the
Sherwin home. AS further reminder
that there is "black sheep in every
flock, Mrs. Sherwin invited in a num-
Der OF friends and neighbors last
Thursday night and killed the "fatted
lamb"
We are not told that the hostess
brought forth a robe and placed a
ring upon his finger, but we do surm1se
that all who were hidden to the
"feast" made merry at the expense Of
the "prodigal''
We are Informed, however, that
when the guests took their seats at
the table each one discovered at his
plate a souvenir white lamb, not
cooked, but carved in cotton flannel
and appropriately mounted. The single
exception was laid at the plate Of
mine host" his being a "black sheep
the significance Of which was duly ap'
preciated.
1t is not necessary to mention the
variety Of dishes denominatei "lamb'
that were served at this feast but the
following verse, read by his young
daughter, will convey to our readers a
slight idea of how the host was
toasted and "roasted;"
Papa saw little lamb
It's fleece was white as SHOW,
'I'll just swipe that lamb" he SAID,
A nd how he d you all well know.
He quickly got into the car
And shut the door all safe;
Then jumped aboard the cattle train
And pulled for home post haste. I
And so with many other lambs
He turned this lamb so white,
Into the big sheep pasture
Where he'd be out of sight.
Papa did not sleep that night,
But walked all night the floor;
And many, many times Mama she said
what makes you watch the door,
Papa went down town next morn
To get the mail, he said.
The Sheriff dropped on him soon
"Where's that blue marked sheep"
he said.
I've sent it back" Pa wildly cried
dido t think the OWner'd miss it,
But if the Miller aheriff's coming
I think I'd better 60 and hide.
On next train the sheriff came
Pompous, and with warrant too.
So Pa and he took the next tram
And for Miller bought tickets thru.
When explanations in full we're made
The Miller men repented,
Just pay the costs they kindly said
And we'll be friends contented.
So when they'd figured up
Sheriff, Justice and lawyers due,
Papa looked quite scared
And drew his check and flew.
Pas kept away from Miller since,
He don't say lamb no more,
But pays for all the lambs he gets
AS he should have done before.
And now Papa's dear friends
Take right hold and eat,
Mas cooked for you lamb
But not the stolen sheep.
