LEHleH SEASON BEGINS
There Win be Forty tags ut Qui.tnds
ana Self Denial f"r the Oh
servants.

Wednesday was the beginning of
Lent. and the time when those
who observe its mandates will xointo
retirement from social gatherings
and practice self denial in souir way.
In the Catholic aud Episcopa
churches throughout the Lenten sea-
son services will be held. the first
Mass in the former being hello this
morning when there was a large
number present. Mass will be held
each morning and other services will
be held i'm the Catholic church dur
ing Lent. In the Episcopal church
services will be held each Wednesday
afternoon at 4:3O and each Friday
evening at 1870 O'Clock at the
rectory.
1t is said that Lent was established
in 1870 AID. and was created by Pope
TelesphOfus, who decreed that forty
hours should be kept to celebrate the
interval between the cru~cifxtion and
the resurrection. But under the pro-
gress OF the church the time has been
gradually heightened until forty days
is consumed. Lent first began on
Saturday, but as that day was al
ways held by the church to be q fes-
tival day, the Sabbaths being exclud.
ed, made the season only thirty-sfx
days. This period is also symtolieSt
of the Savior's forty days fast in the
wilderness, and to meet the require
ments OF the forty dayst the four days
previous to the Lenten Sunday are
added.
Easter Sunday occurs April 3, and
is the signal for coming out Of the
shadow that has rested over the
household during the Lenten season.

STRAW CAPITAL VOTE
One Was Taken in the Vicinity Of
Wolsey on the North Tram
Favored Mitchell.

The following from a gentleman
who witnessed the straw vote on the
capital relocation makes a good
showing for Mitchell, inasmuch as It
was taken up in that part Of the
state where it is presumed Pierre
has some friends. These straw votes
have a tendency to indicate some
thing Of the way the travelling pub
lie feels about a change in the loca-
ton Of the state capital. The fol-
lowing is the letter received by The
Republican:
Wolsey, s. D., Feb, Is, 1904.
Editor Republican: On the north
bound train this evening, a gentle
man named John Q. Tyler, Of Hart
ford, Minnebaha Co., in order to
test the sentiment Of the passengers
on:tbe smoker, passed ballots around
for a "straw vote'' on capital loca-
ton, which resulted in 30 for Mitch.
ell to 8 for Pierre.
Thinking that your people might
be pleased to know Of the friendly
feeling existing l decided to furnish.
the information. AS I am q warm
supporter OF Mitchell it gave me
much comfort to know that the zen
timent for removal to a live up.to-
date Gown vas nearly unanimous
and l predict.that the good sense OF
an intelligent people will be evl-
denced this fall by an overwhelming
majority for your city.
MI. Tyler informed me that his
only object IN getting a test vote
was to ascertain the sentiment OF
the travelling public.
Yours truly,
Hutchinson County.

How an Indian Was PardOned.


The Indians all knew Senator Quay
as their friend, says the New York
Tribune. A few months ago a pretty
Indian girl from somewhere away out
west, journeyed to Washington to Sc
cure the kindly offices of Senator
Quay in procuring a pardon for her
brother. He had committed murder.
Senator Quay listened 20 her story and
then asked
Were there any ~extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the shoot
ing?"
Eyes, my brother killed at 500 yards
said the maiden.
This brought a ray of hope to the
senator. He thought that any man
who could kill at five hundred yards
would appeal to the President. Attor-
ney General Knox was visited. Mr..
Quay, said: ct have never asked you
for anything since you nave been In
office. I now want something. I de-
sire a pardon for this Indian"
The case was carried to the presi-
dent and he was told Of the extenuat-
ing circumstances. There were prooa-
bly, others than his fine shooting, for the
Indian was pardoned.

Shah an Easy Mark.

Just to oblige deposition, the cash
ier of a bank In a Western town al
lowed him to overdraw his account
$1,000, says The Chicago Tribune. A
few days later the cashier learned there
was to be an examination of the banks
account. He sent at once for the de-
positor, told him of the impending ex-
animation, and asked him to make his
account good.
l can't do it," replied the deposition,
i haven't the money, and I. can't pcs
sibly raise it inside of three weeks.
What can I do about it?''
The cashier was in sore straits. He
did not have money enough of his own
to make good the deficit, and for a
long time he couldn't think of any way
of bridging the trouble Suddenly a
bright idea dawned on him.
I'll tell you what We'll do" ne said
to the depositor. You draw a draft
on the Shah of Persia for $1,000 and
deposit it in your account. 1t will be
at least Six weeks before Wen have il
returned protested. Meanwhile you can
skirmiSh up. the money to make good
the overdraft.'
The depisitor laughed at the idea,
but made out the draft on the Shan
and put it in for collection.
'@There'll be a hot time in Persia
when the Shah gets that" the 6epositor
said to the cashier. and the cashier
agreed with him.
IWithin three weeks the depos:tor
made some colIectios through his regu-
lar business and Strengthened out his
bank account.
About six weeks after the draft was
made o nthe Shah the cashier received
check from Teheran for $1,000 from
of hn ne
of the voucher, which accompanied Il
and above the Endorsement of the
equerry, this statement was written:
1.-The Shah of Persia requests that
hereafter all bills from the United
States ofAmerica shall be itemized.''

OF rights and privileges Independent
or the Crown, the home government
censures him.. The position Of the
Governor was therefore. an extreme
ly difficult one. and one whose duties
Ii was impossible to execute in q way
satisfactory to both the North Carolina
colonists and the English Crown
Our study OF the Crown Governor in
North Carolina is finished. It only re-
mains for US to sum up briefly the con-
clusions to which II has led us.
Royal government was not a new
system~which came into operation in
North Carolina IN 1871. The way had
peen prepared by the preceding period
OF Proprietary administration
During the Royal period the Cover
nor's powers tended to become more
limited and more clearly defined. They
were being steadily limited by the
growing influence Of the popular branch
OF the legislature through its control
or the finances Of the province His
powers became more clearly and mi
nutely defined with each new set of
instructions that was issued by the
home government. This fact viii De
better appreciated by examining such
documents as the instructions to Gov
ernor George Burlington. issued in
1870; the instructions to Governor Ca
briel Johnston, issued in 1733; and the
instructions to Governor Arthur Dobbs,
issued in 1873.
The Royal Governor In North Caro-
lima was distinctly vice-regal in char
acter, and never became a purely ex-
ecutive officer. 1t is true he exercised
many powers which were purely exec
utive, such as the appointing power,
the command of the army and the ma
Wy and the power of pardon; but, in
addition to these, he exercised many
important legislative ana judicial pow
ers. We have seen that he had the
very existence OF the General Assembly
In his hands. He alone could call 1t
into being; and when called he could
adjourn, prorogue or dissolve it at his
own pleasure. He had the absolute
veto power, and could thereby disallow
any act which was not pleasing to him.
self. In his judicial capacity he ha6
the Power of appointing judges, justi-
ces and commissioners of Oyer and
Terminer, and partial control OF the
courts. He was likewise acting in a
strictly judicial capacity when sitting
with his Council as court of Chan
cery. AS the king was a legislative,
executive and judicial officer in the
Realm. so his representative, the Gov
ernor, was a legislative, executive and
judicial officer in the province.
The government which the Crown
proposed for North carolina was not
the oppressive, tyrannlcal government
of which we are accustomed to think
Ing. In fact, the scheme was rather
an ideal one, and failed on account of
having to be worked out under unfav-
Orable conditions. The policy of the
Crown was that of an old and highly
developed country, and did not suit
the conditions Of a newly-settIed, pio-
neer country like North Carolina
