MITCHELL AND CARNIVAL
a Big Crowd Will go to Sioux Falls
With Several Bands During
Carnival Week.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, 30: Mr..
L. 9. Burns, of Mitchell, one of the
capital boomers of that city, takes
exceptions to a portion of the article
which appeared in these columns a
couple of days ago in connection
with the arrangements for Capital
Day at the Sioux Falls carni val.
After the article announced the ar
engagements made on the part of the
Pierre hustlers it went on to say
that while Mithcell had not an
nounced their arrangements tor the
trip to Sioux Falls. it was understood
that they would come in force with
two or o bands, one of which it
was also understood would be the
Fourth regiment band of Sioux City.
MIR. Burns called the local man of
the Argus-Leader up over the long
distance phone and announced that
he and Mitchell WOULD stand for all
the article said excepting the part
regarding the Sioux City band.
"We have not secured the Sioux
City band, neither do we intend to-
remarked Mr.. Burns. "We have
Just as good musical organizations in
South Dakota as they have at Sioux
City and Mitchell believes in patron
izing home Industries. Mitchell will
come to the Sioux Falls carnival in
force and we Will bring plenty OF
music with us, but we will not 20
out of the state after a band. Sioux
Fails has a crack band as has also
Parker, B1idgewater and other cities
and when Mitchell engages her bands
for the trip to the Sioux Falls earn
ival it will select some OF these
bands to make music for us.
"Gou can further say that Sioux
Falls will see the largest crowd from
Mitchell that has ever represented a
South Dakota town at any gather.

you will know it when we arrive"

writes me that much will be expect
ed Of South Dakota this year ia the
tight, and that we will be furnished
prominent speakers, including our
national nominee, Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, OF Georgia, who will address
our state convention at Yankton.n
MIR. Pease said that it was the in
tention of the party in South Dako-
ia to launch a state paper, of which
he Will be the editor. He said that
the point of publication had not
been decided upon as yet, but he
thought it would be either at Sioux
Falls or Mitchell. "At present We
have no reform press in tins state"
said MIR. Pease, Ito circulate among
the populists to inform them of the
progress in other states to encourage
them in their wv work of r%eyival.n
Mr.. Pease talked enthusiastically
OF the prospects of the populist par
ty, and declared that there was Just
as much need for the existence of
populism in the country as there
ever was. "There are but two polit-
ical parties" said Mr.. Pease, Nthe
ultfa-controversaties on the one side
divided only on the o%tfices) into two
divisions, called republicans and
democrats, which the great Com
moner has appropriately designated
the God of War, and the God of
Gold.' On the other side of the
lighting line stands Gods chosen
~people-the great midule classes, the
independent voter, the trades unions
and the agriculturists-all to ae
united at last into one grand reform
movement, and the peoples party
with Tom Watson n Tom Tibbels,
as the standard bearers"

First Rural Route Started Out {
Mitchell This Morning With
NJ. p. Bates as Carrier.

Monday morning at 1915 NJ. P.
Bates, who was appointed as rural
carrier for route No. ] out of Mitch
ell, began his work and started on
his drive of IS miles, which is to be
made every day in the week, Sun
days excepted, reaching this city at
6 O'Clock in the evening. 1T will be
quite a convenience to the farmers
living along this route to have their
mail delivered to them every week
day and they will appreciate it be-
yond all doubt.
The Republican has taken advan-
tage of the establishment of this
route to extend its circulation into
the country and with the beginning
of the service we have secured TWEEN
ty-tive new subscribers and Will send
a number of sample copies to farm
erS along the route and demonstrate
to them the benefits of a daily pap
er. The extension of the daily into
the country will be a great benefit to
the business men who advertise, for
it places their information before
the people at a distance each week
day. by this service The Republic
can give the advertisers of the
city the best possible returns. With
the large circulation of the daily and
weekly combined there are mighty
few homes in the county that are
not reached by either one Of the
publications. If you want to reach
the people you can Go so by patron
izing them.

BY STATE AND COUNTY
Populists Will Hold State and Coun

That an effort is being made to re-
suscitate the populist party in all
parts of the state is evident from
the conference that was held in this
city Saturday afternoon, which was
attended by a number of the old line
fellows who fought through the days
when populism gained its ascend.

WAY PIERRE is SHOWN
The Capital City Has Begun a Haz-
ardous Undertaking i'll TAX
ing People Out There.

Ever since the plan was adopted by
Mitchell of inviting people Of the
state to come here and look over the
city, to see its buildings, particular
ly the city hall building, its homes,
and all that goes to make up a fine
progressive town, the friends Of
Pierre have been agitating the pro-
p1iety Of the capital city doing the
same thing. With a great deal of
reluctance Pierre has entered on
that work.
Recently a party Of Grant county
men came down to Mitchell and in
spected the city and when they went
home they told the Pierre supporters
what Mitchell had, and in a banter
ing way declared that Pirere could
not equal the sights.
The Grant fellows took the matter
up with Pierre and insisted on being
hauled down to the capital and like
wise be shown something. After
they went home they said Pierre
bad a peculiar way of showing them
the town. They reached Pierre at
night and early the next morning
the capital committee out there had
a steamboat in readiness and they
were taken up the river on a trip
which lasted all day long, and they
had no opportunity to see the town
whatever. They expressed the opin-
ion that they thought Pierre be-
lieved less harm would result from a
river trip than by spending the day
in town. Those men said that the
trip to Pierre settled them on the
capital question and that hereafter
they would be supporters of Mitch
ell.
One thing that was against Pierre
particularly was the time it took
them to make the round trip. They
put in two full days in making the
trip and spent Il on the river, leav-
ing Pierre at the unearthly hour of 4
in the morning and putting in the
whole day getting home. They could
have made the same trip to Mitchell
in one day and had four and a half
hours here.
Those men can now readily see the
difference in the accessibility OF
Mitchell and Pierre. Taking people
out to Pierre and keeping them two
or three days is making good votes
for Mitchell right along. Keep it
up, Pierre.

ment lands. Do the taxpayers want

ment lands. Do the taxpayers want
to do this? Our taxes are big enough
now.
On the other hand, ii the capital
is removed to Mitchell, a magnificent
brick and stone building, with nine
fire proof vaults, can be used by the
state for ten. fifteen or twenty years
free of all expense to the taxpayers,
and at the end of the latter period
the endowment lands may be avail
able, and thus the people will save
Their million dollars in taxes which
they will have to pay If the capital
remains at Pierre.
This is the actual condition which
the taxpayers must decide next No
vember. Will any citizen vote to tax
himself when it is not necessary?
We lind a few men and a few papers
in Lincoln county urging this sui
cidal policy. They are doing it i'm
opposition to their better judgment.
they are doing it against the best in
terests OF every property owner in
Lincoln county, they are doing it for
spite and blind prejudice, and some
own lots over at Pierre yet, which
came in under the campaign Of 1890,
and those lots can be given away to
anyone who will take them and the
man who gives them away will be
ahead.

For Corn Palace Exhibits

Plankinton Herald: Lincoln oun
ty has appropriated 500 to be used
in collecting and furnishing an ex-
hibit at the Mitchell corn palace in
September, an example which we
think should be followed in this
county. Heretofore 1T has been the
custom to collect the required
amount from the business men Of
the town and while most of them are
still willing to contribute to an en-
terprise which is Of benefit to the
county at large, it is the general
opinion that the expense of securing
an exhibit should be liq1idated by
the county instead Of by a few indi-
viduals.
