WANT TO BUILD A MILL
Truax & Belts Make a Proposition
to Canton Business Men to
Erect Flour Mill.

Canton correspondence to the
Sioux Falls Argus Leader: AS per
call Of the president Fl. E. Thayer,
the Commercial Club met at the
council rooms Friday night for the
purpose Of discussing the matter of
securing a new grist mill for Can
ton. Messers TruaA s. Belts of
Mitchell, who have fifteen elevators
a long the Milwaukee line, have
made the proposition that they will
build a Sl4, 600 mill here if the citi-
zens Of Canton, will put up a bonus
Of $1,000. And this meeting was
called for the purpose of discussing
the offer. The reason the firm pre-
fers Canton is that we have the Iowa
rate on coal at this point, and are
thus a more desirable point than any
other portion Of South Dakota for
manufacturing purposes. Mr.. Belts,
of the firm was present, and adj
vanced the points which were de-
sired to be known by the members
who attended the meeting, and after
the matter was thoroughly discussed
it was generally conceded that the
$1,000 could not be raised, but THAT
it might be possible to raise $1,000,
and a committee was appointed to
solicit the funds: T. T. Smith. d.
Bremen, Jas. Lewis, G. H. Cassll
and John Isaackson. There is no
question but that it would be a
great thing for Canton to secure
such a mill as was talked Of, and il
is hoped there will be united effort
made to land the prize.

Horse Sense.

Ny maternal great-grandfather, Van
der Meerschaut, had a little Cossack
horse captured from the Russian in
vaders in 1914. The old gentleman
was lame in one leg as the result of a
hunting accident, but withal a good
horseman when once in the saddle.
When out on his trips in the country
on business and coming home at night,
he would frequently fall asleep in his
commodious Cossack saddle. The horse
would make a bee line for home at an
easy but swift pace. Arriving there, 1t
would rap at the front door with its
foot until the Waterman would open
the porch and take the old gentleman
out Of the saddle. My grandmother
told me this happened almost every
week. Horse and master understood
each other. Not being able to walk
very we'll, he would hunt from horse
back, the horse following the settlers
and coming to a standstill when one
Of them was or a point, the old gen
tleman guiding him entirely by pres
sure Of the knees and voice and having
both hands free for his fowling piece.
The horse died of old age on the place,
as most Of our servants. Peace to his
ashes.-Forest and Stream.

THE eYPs,Es.
9heir Tribe. Existed In Euro,

The1r IFlDeS Existed In Europe
From Immemorial Times.
Gypsies were found in England abou'
1914, according to "a DIALOGUE Of Sil
Thomas More Q529), but the exac'
year of their arrival is unknown. They
were present in Scotland in 1905, anG
possibly they We're the "Saracens'
whose depredations in that country
prior to 1850 are on record.
Bataillard and other authors believe
that gypsies existed in Europe from
immemorial times. for they find no &C
count of their crossing the Bosporus
and no record is known to exist of theil
passage to England or Scotland.
They were better received in these
countries than in any other, but 81
early as 1881 an act was passed re
quiring the Egyptians to quit the
realm under pain of death, a similar
edict being issued in Scotland in 1874
and at varying periods in most Of the
European states.
Transportation across the seas wa.
among the milder means adopted anl
probably was the cause Of much fur
ther dispersion Of the tribes. Under
Henry VIII. gypsies were shipped from
England to Norway or France, ant
from France, so recently as 1902, they
were deported to Africa.

Humiliat1ng a Bull.

A magnificent red bull owned by an
English farmer had an unpleasant no.
toriety as a man killer. A strip Of oak
board had therefore been bound firmly
across his forehead, and on this as an
added insult to the monarch of the
herd was painted, Dangerous" When
the beast held his muzzle to the sky he
could see in front of him, but the mo-
ment he lowered his head for mischief
or grazing all view except of his own
forefeet was cut off. "Clambering one
day down a tor lea his haunts,' says
a writer, II came on a stretch of level
green. In the center Of this sat an Inn
perturbable artist painting, and round
him in furious tangents charged the
1nefectual bull. Up went the beasts
head while aim was taken under the
board at this disturber of the solitude,
but then, with lowered horns, the
plank again shut the bull into a mis-
taken memory of where his target
was. The painter said he had spent
half a morning in fight and the next
half in laughter"

uNTIMELY CHEERS.
The Misplaced Enthusiasm of an Eek
Corpse In Ireland.

Corpse In Ireland.
1t was the rule in ireland at one
time that after an execution the body
should hang an hour, but the sheriff,
from mistaken lerity, would on some
occasions look away after the prisoner
had been turned off, while the friends
Of the culprit would hold up their com
panion by the waistband Of the trousers
80 that the rope would not press upon
bis throat.
When the hour was expired the
deceased was put into a cart, which
was driven at a gallop along the stony
road. The jolting generally brought
the prisoner to. One such recovery
was so complete that the resuscitated
man sat up in the coffin and gave three
cheers.
One of his friends was so shocked at
this indecent conduct that he hit the
%ex-corpse On the head with his shillalah
and finished him. The question then
arose whether the as%sailant could be
tried for murder, but it was ruled that
no man could be successfully charged
with the murder Of a man who was al.
ready dead in law.-Pearson's Weekly.

FOR A NEW DEPOT
Ground Being Surveyed. for a New
structure-Very Likely Will
he Constructed OF Brick.

The Omaha railroad officials have
already commenced to make their ar
Iangements for the construction OF
a new depot on a site adjacent tc
the building that was burned early
last week. II. p. Barlow, IA member
Of the surveying department of the
Omaha road, arrived in the city
Tuesday to look over the gfound for
the new structure, and Wednesday
looked over the city map to secure
the location OF the city sewers In
conversation with MI. Barlow he
said that the Omaha officials were
going to give Mitchell! a better depot
than we had before the fire, and
although it was not definitely settled
he believed that the structure would
be built of brick. He gave it as his
opinion that the work would com
mence on the new building just as
soon as the weather turned warm
enough so that the work could be
carried at not too much OF a disad-
vantage. 1t is to be hoped that the
plans Of the Omaha are for a good
substantial building and that either
brick or stone will be used. Mitch
ellis prominence as a railroad center
and the business that is transacted by
the Omaha will certainly justify the
expenditure OF a goodly sum in pro-
viding a good home for the COM
pany's business.
With the Milwaukee having prac-
tically settled on the construction
of a lei depot of the up-to-date
character a pain of new depots will
be a very satisfactory thing for
Mitchell.

Pierre Free Press: II the Mitchell
Republican editor, who knows, or at
least thinks he knows, that the ex-
hibit Of agricultural products at the

county was collected across the nv

same good depth Of fine black aluvial
surfaces the earth at Pierre and

The above from our friend, Besan.
con, was called forth because The
Republican published a statement a
short time ago that the agricultural
products that were heralded over the
state last fall as the Hughes county
exhibits were not raised in Hughes
county. We stated that the gentle
man who gave all these products to
the Hughes couaty lived in Stanley
county. According to Brer. Besan-
cons idea Hughes county may be all
ne claims for it but we have yet to
hear Of any great amount of corn,
wheat, oats, or other grain being
shipped out Of that station.

cratic State Convention for
Nominating Officers.

The Milwaukee train from 6he
north this morning brought in the
democrats from the southern part of
the state, having been up to Huron
to attend a meeting of the state
central committee. The train was
held at Wolsey a half hour in order
that connections might he made. Y.
Fl. Winsor and II. E. Hitchcock, of
this city. were in attendance at the
meeting.
The first convention was located

November election.
In conversation with several mem
bers of the committee they state
that the meeting was full Of har-
mony and that the various factions
of the party in the state, the free
silver men, those Of populistic ten
denotes and those who have different
ideas as to who would be the proper
candidate for president met in the
committee without the least dis
ruption.

SIOUX FALLS GRANITE
Mitchell Contractor Will Use Large
Quantities Of the Rock in
Buildings.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: Gottlieb
Scheurenbrand, one of the leading
contractors of Mitchell was in Sioux
Falls today and was rubbed up
against by an Argus-Leader reporter.
Mr.. Scheurenbrand stated that the
building boom which Mitchell has
been enjoying the past two years
was bound to keep up. He said that
he knew Of at least three large bust
ness blocks which would be construc-
ted in that city the coming summer
and his visit to Sioux Falls at this
time was in connection with the
proposed improvements. For the
past few years he has been using
Minnesota stone for trimmings for
buildings. Recently he had brought
to his attention the recently dis
covered black granite Of Sioux Falls
and he spent considerable time at
the quarry inspecting this rock and
also devoted more time to figuring
with the owners for a large amount
Of the rock. He informed the re-
porter that he was greatly pleased
with the granite and was cofdent
that be could use a good quantity of
it in the future building improve
ments Of Mitchell.
Mr.. Schuerenbrand said that while
during the cold winter business at
Mitchell like other places had been
rather dull, still a decided improve
ment had been noticed in all branch
es of trade during the past two
weeks, and he thought with a mod
Grafton in the weather the improve
ment would continue.

ldg MITCHELL CAPITAL
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1904.

With the warning factions in the
east the sympathy of the people OF
this country has been freely extend
ed to the japanese, not because of
anything great that Japan has done
for the United States but because
she is the weaker nation against
Russia, and because Russia's .atti-
tnde toward the powers in the orient
has been rather o%verbearing. 1t
seems, however. that ii the people
of the United States are going to
follow traditional history that our
sympathies should go to Russia.
This was made clear in a speech de-
livered on Lincoln's birthday by Sec
reaty Moody, in which he made a
graceful reference to Russia. Dur
ing the civil wal Gar Alexander
sent a Russian squadron to the
northern waters of this country and
m so doing ranged himself and coun-
try against English and French
schemes to recognize the independ-
once of the co%nfederacy. Secretary
Moody believes in times like these
that such acts on the part of another
nation should not be forgotten.

Leave. ana color..

Bright colors assumed by naples,
sumacs and ampelopsis during the au-
tumn months are the result Of the oxi
dizing of the color compounds, or color
generators, of the leaf cells. Long pro-
tracted cool weather is most favorable
to the production of autumn tints, and
slight frosts that are not severe enough
to kill the cells hasten the display of
beauty by producing an engine that
brings forth the bright puppies, oranges
and reds. Leaves containing much
tannic acid never give bright autumn
dnts, while those containing sugar give
the very prettiest.

The Pierre Dakotan makes the
statement that II the capital is re-
moved to Mitchell that the state
will be called upon to expend several
hundred Thousand dollars for the
erection OF state capitol buildings.
That is just one point that Mitchell
is impresslng upon the minds Of the
people Of the state that in removing
the capital to this city that the state
will be saved the expenditure Of an
Immense amount OF money for a per-
iod OF six or eight years. And how?
1t is a conceded fact that the pres
emit capitol building at Pierre is no
more fit to house the records of the
state or a place where a legislative
assembly can congregrate than a
barn. The building is a frame struc-
ture and the valuable records are at
the mercy of the flames should a fire
ever start. Notwithstanding the as
sertlons of Pierre this city stands
ready to present to the state the free
use of it's city hall for a capitol
building, and Notwithstanding what
the opposition papers say the build
ing is large enough and a room
enough to accommodate the iegisla-
ture and all the state officials, with a
. fire proof vault In connection with
every Office. If there is any doubt
ing on this score the thousands of
people who will come to Mitchelps
corn palace next fall will have full
opportunity to see the completed
hui 'aing that Mitchell offers to the
state and there will be no getting
ABOUND the proposition but what
Bitchell's offer is genuinely good.
ina case ike this we will have the
goods 70 deliver and they are open to
the inspection Of the people. With
the capital remaining at Pierre will
be the cause for the expenditure Of
an immese sun Of money. There is
no gainsaying the fact that a new
state house is needed-Pierre will
admit that themselves, and they are
setting forth the argument that a
new state house erected at Mitchell
will be a great expense. They are
very reticent as to what will happen
In the way Of structure building if
the capital is left at Pierre. On
this score alone it would be
economy for the people to move the
capital. We do not believe fol one
moment that removal of the capital
from Pierre will be a reflection on
the real estate in the western part,
for the reason that the capital was
never put there in the first place in
order to build up the country, and
If it was it was an injustice to other
portions of the state, but the geo.
graphical center was the hobby and
the dollars the influence that won
out in the contest. At this election
both these factors will be eliminated
from the campaign. People have
