in full:
"'Oh thy great and most worshipful

Candidates Expenses.

Thus far only four candidates have
fled their statements OF election expen
ses with the county clerk. The law re-.
quires that they must be in before the
3Oth OF November. Here is how most oi
the ofhceseekers managed to spend from
$40 70 $500 in..the conduct OF their cam
paigD:
L. c. Todd the successful candidate
for county surveyor only spent $40. This
was contributed to the central commit.
tee. Mr.. Todd's expense account was
the smallest Of any filed. hut when one
takes into, consideration the fact that
that sum is more than be will make out
of his ONCE during the entire term per.
haps its not to be wondered at that he
WAS not very extravagant.
According to Thomas Cody's state.
ment it Just cost him s40O to retain the
position OF sheriff. He spent the
amount in this wise: Central commit
tee, 800; cigars and other treats, (most-
ly LowDey's bon bons for the ladies)
500; conveyances on election day, 5000;
expense OF party workers, $50.
Judge Ashbaugh claims he only spent
in the neighborhood OF $500 which was
distributed about in the following man.
ner: Campaign assessment, $50; cigars,
Regulation election cigars) 800; work.
ers election day, s15.0O; candy and ice
cream, BIS.
County Clerk Alvater spent money
like horse owner. He had no trouble
ia getting rid OF 5000. When asked how
it was his campaign cost more than the
rest be said he didn't know that it did,
but in making out his statement he had
more regard for the truth than some OF
the others. This is how he spent the
sum above mentioned: County central

ably wet goods $3.50; workers and char

Steele, N. D., Feb. 2s.--Gold mining at

shafts being flooded with water. In ths
Elliott shaft the water is twenty-five feet
deep. When the auger had reached "a,
depth of ten feet water was struck, and
when the anger was pulled out the flow

There is little doubt but that the well

Professor Willard OF the Agricultural
college was here last week, and made eXE
animation Of the soil and drift taken from,
the shafts. His conclusion was that there
it would be extracted with the greatest
profit thru the medium Of the dairy in

dustry encouragement, but thought that
the digging of shafts that resulted in an
unlimited supply of good water was os3e
encouraged.

Shepard, the keeper Of a bowling alley In

of c. j. Mcleod, editor of the Daily News,
on the charge of SANDER, the proceeding
being what lawyers know as arrest and
bail. Mcleod lays his damages at $4,000.
The allegation is that Shepard repeatedly
made the statement that 10 per cent Of
the profits of a. slot machine gambling de-
vice owned by a Sioux Falls man and
operated in 4Shepard's place, went to NC
Leod as rake off. /"
Mcleod declares that there are one or
two more persons in the city who have
repeated similar statements, chiefly by
innuendo and insinuation, that he will have
arrested at the proper time He says that
the stories ALI emanated from old-time
bitter political campaigns and too gem

The arrest caused a decided sensation in
the city. Shepard is son of City Justice
