Judge Andrews was called upon,
vest erday. to settle q little difficulty
between four parties which had been
existing since July g. The complainant
in the case was Fred Dolloff of Mt.
Vernon. and the respondents were
Peter Gagne. Luke Dostie and John Lee
Clair, the latter being brought into
court on warrant sworn out by Dol
loft, charging them with abusing and
overdriving a horse belonging To him.
on July 3. Dollom was represented by
w. III. Fisher. and the respondents by
Benedict +. Maher. In his testimony
to the court Dolloff stated that he had
lent his team to Peter Gagne in order
that Gagne might go get a barrel OF
cider of Otis Littlefield, but that in
stead Of doing SO, Gagne and the other
two men had gone In an entirely differ
ent direction, got drunk, abused the
horse and finally lost him. Dollon had
several witnesses in court, but as none
of the testimony introduced tended to
show in any way that the horse had
been abused or overdriven, the court
ruled that there was no case, and dis
charged the respondents.

CAPITOL BUILDING.

The Scotland Journal is driven to
this sort of declaration in it's assaults
on Pierre in behalf of the Mitchell
knockers:
The building now used as a state
house is scarcely fit for human habi-
tation, and is practically worthless
to the state.
The present state house may not
be a marvel Of architectural splen-
dor, but it is more commodious than
any building which Mitchell offers,
more conveniently arranged, has
more fire proof vaults for records,
and the business of the state can
there be transacted ever so much
more expeditiously, as and state off
e will tell you. And the statement
that it is scarcely fit for human
habitation'' is simply a falsehood.
Furthermore, the state ows it, and
its officers and records are not liable
to be dumped into the street at the
suit of any local taxpayer, as could
be the case with the proposed build
ing at Mitchell. Ask any lawyer if
the city of Mitchell has any power
to make good the promise it has
given the people of the state with
reference to the building it proposes

sured for months and the vice presi-
dent for days, the announcement of
the accomplishment was accompanied
by ~resounding demonstrations, which
attested the candidates popularity.
The cheering was led by figures known
through the breadth of the land and
echoed by a mighty throng of enthu-
siastic men and radiant women as.
sembled in the Coliseum to witness
the browning feature as well as the
close of the thirteenth national cor.
vention that marks the semi-centennial
of the Republican party in the United
States.
No fewer than 10000 persons partici.
pated in the ratification of the party
programme and the consequent roar
of cheering and handclapping was
de~afening. The band stationed high
among the Orders of the hall was
drowned by the tumultuous, unbound
ed demonstration. Hats were tossed
In the air, state emblems were waved,
flags fiuttered from every stand as
though by a gale.

vas started for nominations for vice
president. The honor was this time
given to Iowa. and Senator Deliver,
taking the platform. naoed Senator
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana.
The speech was an eloquent indorse-
ment Of the candidates qualifications
and was received with tremendous APP
plause.
Although voices were hoarse, the
noise for the second choice was just
as unanimous as it was in filling the
first place on the ticket.
Seconding speeches were made by
Senator Depew. Senator Foraker, Gov
M Pennypacker of Pennsylvania
and Senator Carter of Montana. All
We're applauded to the echo and the
great popular demonstration which
greeted the unanimous nomination by
the convention was a tribute to the In
diana statesman whose name was thus
joined with Roosevelt's.
When Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri
and Georgia were called. announce
ment was made that the candidates.
OF favorite IONS had been withdrawn.
Senator Fairbanks was then. declared
nominated by reclamation.
The usual resolutions of thanks to
officers of the convention and to COM
mittees on arrangement were adopted
and the great body was adjourned.
Speaker Cannon came in for one of
the resolutions and he blushed like a
~schoolboy as the compliment was
given. He made eleven speeches dur
ing the day. each a few crisp original
sentences, introducing the eleven ora
tors. His audience never tired of
watching or listening to him. He was
a sauce TO the proceedings.
A general exodus of delegates to the
Republican convention began at night,

majority of them, who will be the

tainted. He was a man accustomed
to scenes which test the nerves, but
this was too much. Following this
comes the news from Ohio that the
victim had to be electrocuted three
times before death came. After the
second treatment the condemned
man was taken from the chair before
it was discovered that life was not
extinct.
1t is barely possible that this
method is more humane than hang
ing, but recent developments would
indicate otherwise. The method of
military executions in which the con
demned are shot down by a firing
squad would seem more humane
than either. This method now pre-
walls in Utah and several other west
ern states. If society must take the
life of some of it's members in order
to protect others, let it not be
attended with the scenes Of torture
which would put the Spanish inqui-
sition to shame.-Sioux Falls Argus

~COLORADO'S LESSON.

But meantime we would call the
attention of the labor unions to one
feature of this affair, which is
possessed of deep and warning sig.
nificance to them. The great major.
ity of the people of the United States
are probably as little disposed as
ever to give themselves over to arbi-
trary power and surrender even for
a moment those safeguards to indi.
vidual rights and liberties which
have been established in the consti.
tutions and laws and judicial pro.
cesses of our Anglo-S Saxon civiliza.
ton. Nevertheless we find the
high-handed course Of the Colorado
executive authority being viewed
widely with complacency if not with
open and emphatic approval. And
if there is any other reason for this
than that the people of all classes
outside of the labor unions have
become thoroughly wrought up over
the vexatious, ~intolerable, inconsid
crate and equally handed
course of the unions OF the past few
~years-if there is any other reason
for the fact, we don't know it. The
rest of the people-and they consti,
tute a vast majority1simply will not
long endure the conditions which the
unions Of late have been forcing
upon them.-Sprinield Republican

TWO UNSOUND GROUNDS FOR
REMOVAL.

Mitchell argument is thus crystal
lized by the Sioux Falls Journal:
The removal of the capital of the
state from Pierre to Mitchell is asked
for practically on two grounds, to
get it from an inaccessible to an
accessible place and to reduce taxa
ton. Every one knows Pierre is out
of the way for every one, but if the
capital is voted there again it also
means the expenditure of a million
dollars for a state building, and at
once for it is badly needed. A suit
able building, good for at least
twenty years will. be provided free
by Mitchell"
Neither one of these grounds for
removal is good logic.
Does the..Journalss mean that. the
capital ought to be located with ref
erence to conditionsSof accessibility

ROOT MAKES AN ADDRESS
PRINCIPAL FEATURE or FIRST
DAYS SESSION OF THE
CONVENTION.

Chicago, June 22.-Without disturb
ing element to impede smooth opera
ton, the first days programme for the
Republican national convention, the
thirteenth in the party's history, was
carried out like clockwork. Not a
Earring sound was heard, no a false
step taken. II was an assembly Of non
combative delegates which carried in
to effect, without the thunderous
demonstration usually attendant upon
political conventions, a purpose that
had been a clearly defined.
An organization was perfected pre-
paratory to the adoption of a platform
and the making nominations on the
succeeding days of the convention.
From the enthusiasm provoked by
Senator Fairbanks arrival at the Coli
scum, his nomination for vice presi-
dent is little less assured than the
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for
president.
The keynote to the campaign OF
1904 was sounded by Elihu Root In his
speech as temporary chairman. His
address was a review of the accom-
plishments of the present administra-
ton and a defense of Republican
policies in general. When that had
been delivered and the various work
ing committees dispatched to their
labors, the business of the first days
session was completed.
Another picture vas presented by
the opening day SO different from the
customary convention scene as to at
tract marked attention. 1t was the
failure of the delegates and the specta-
tors to warm up to the spirit of the oc-
casion. Mention of President Roose-
vent was responded to with hearty,
though not prolonged, applause. The
lack of contest eliminated the neces-
sity for enthusiastic display Of feeling
and the mild cheering and rather list
less handclapping, which were the
greeting given impartially to national
figures of the party, was all, probably.
that could be expected under the cir
cumstances.

CONVENTION is CALLED
TO ORDER BY CANNON.

Chairman Cannon called the conven-
ton to order at 1890 o'clock, and after
prayer by Rev. T. A. Snively, Mr.. Can
non announced that the next order of
business will be a roll call of the states
for the nomination of president of the
United States.
BY agreement Alabama, the first
state on the roll, yielded to New York.
That was the signal for the first out
burst Of applause. In the midst of
the cheering Former Governor Black
made his way TO the platform. Speak
er Cannon took him to the front and
enthusiastically introduced him 10
the audience. The delegates gave Mr..
Black a rousing reception before per-
hitting him to proceed.
Mr.. Black entertained his audience
by a discussion of party principles.
He compared Republican standards
with those of other parties. With
his keen sense of humor and the
deep thought displayed in his adj
dress the orator fascinated al
ways, and frequently electrified his
listeners. He led up to the nominal
ton gradually by defining the type OF
man best suited for the party color
bearer. AS he named Theodore Roose-
welt as the best example of that type

delegation led In the cheering, which
almost Immediately spread t. every
part of the floor. to the galleries and
to the crowds which filled the en-
frances and overfowed into the streets.
For twenty-five minutes the great
throng showed its appreciation of the
conventions choice for president. The
name Roosevelt came from every
throat. When quiet had finally been
restored speeches seconding the NOM
ination were made by Senator Bever-
idges of Indiana. George A. Knight of
California, Harry Stillwell Edwards of
Georgia. Ex-Governor Bradley of Ken

and Harry s. Cummings. a colored

CRUELTY OF ELECTROCUTION

Those states which have adopted
electrocution as the most humane
method of execution of condemned
criminals have reason to be staggered
at recent developments.
lit was not long ago that the
scenes attending such an execution
in New York were so narrowing that
