CONGRESSIONA


surprising results of the

bnceded his reelection. yet Mr..
defeated him by five hundred
e member-elect is the son OF MI
FED Rives, formerly a citizen OF Ire
county, in this state, who moved 10
inois some years ago..
tn most remarkable feature of this
Election Is that Mr.. Rives, who Is d
ylaw student and only t~wenty-tnre
/ years old, and therefore ineligible to
election to is not known re-
.yond the limits Of Ldtchfield, the city
of mis- residence. He accepted n nom
nation with the understanding that he
would not have to take part i'm the am
paign and he did not do 50. He simply
allowed his friends to nominate him
and he let the people vote as they pleas
ed, without any argument or appeal for
votes from him..
Mr.. Caldwell, who is a banker, IS
very popular in his district He was
renominated without opposition N
stumDe his district, while Mr.. Rives
STAYED at home and devoted himself
to his law studies.
What will the republican majority in
the house do in his case? WIFI 1t de-
clare that there was no valid election
or will 1T seat that person voted for
among the eligible candidates who re-
ceived the greatest number Of votes?
II it adopts the first there will have to
be a special election held to elect a
congressman; if the latter, then Mr..
Caldwell will be seated. The latter
course would seem to be the proper
one. Because one of the candidates
was ineligible should not invalidate
the votes cast for others who were ELI
gible. The most sensible and the fair
est solution Of the matter would be
simply to consider as not having been
cast all those votes with the name OF
the ineligible candidate ON them and
count only those votes for the othe-
candidates. This would seat Mr.. Cald-
we'll.

LIKES HIS FARM WELL
South Dakota Farmer Has Sold His
Land Twice and Bought 1t
Again.

The following incident related by
a Clear Lake correspondent to the
Argus-Leader is not one of the stor-
les that frequently float around,
gaining in favor with each success
sive rehearsal, but can be vouched
for by the writer as being true IN
every respect:
peter Mitchell, a pioneer resident
OF Deuel. county, is gaining quite a
reputation for the number % times
he has sold the old farm and pur-
chased it back, always paying a lib
eral bonus. In this way he varies
the monotony of life and at the same
time gets rid Of his surplus wealth.
"About two years ago he became
dissatisfied with South Dakota,
where he had accumulated a fortune
by tilling the old farm, and sold the
farm. After unsuccessfully trying to
find a desirable location in another
part of the country he returned to
deuel. county and purchased his old
$500 PNJAhS wv luOuSduu uOlldES
more than he had sold it for.
Last summer he again became
dissatisfied and once more sold the
farm. The time granted him in
which to surrender the land to the
latest purchaser expired a few days
ago. and the more Mitchell thought
about the matter, the more he
thought that he did not want to
leave the old farm which had been
the scene of his success in life.
"The result was that he has for
the second time repurchased the
farm at a liberal advance over the
price he sold it for last time.
"Hls friends now jokingly declare
that he probably will not again sell
the farm until spring opens, and
that it Will doubtless not be sold and
purchased back more than two or
three times before July 1. next"

of the bride and groom, those from
a distance being Mrs. Sadee Petit,

the wedding march was played by
Mrs. Thos. Vickers and the bridal
couple entered the room, accompan-
led by Misses Polly and Sadee
Vickers as brides maids, and Messrs.
Charles and Archie Vogus as grooms-
men. They took their position in
front Of the bay window, and the
service was performed in an impress
sive manner by Rev. H. S. Wilkin-
son, pastor OF the Methodist church.
The ring service was used and at
the proper moment little Harriet
Peckham. a niece Of the groom. bore
the ring on a white rose and it was
placed on the finger of the bride.
The bride was handsomely cos
TUNED in a gown Of pole de sol, ap-
preaching lavender in color, white

the yoke, carrying a bcquet of white
roses. The bridesmaids wore white.
The bay window, in front Of which
the wedding party stood, was banked
with beautiful flowers and a floral
wreath was hung across the arch,
which made a very pretty scene.
The bride was the recipient Of many
handsome presents, things that will
be useful and ornamental i'm the
household. She has grown from her
eirlhood into an excellent young lady
and possesses the friendship and es
teen of a large circle of friends.
The groom is employed in Kratz &
Co.'S store and is a fine young gentle

tended the guests were served to a
fine supper, the tables being hand
somcly decorated with flowers.
For the present Mr.. and Mrs.
Vickcrs will live in rooms in Prof,

lican extends its hearty congratula-,
lions to the welded couple.

that he had rode his fifteen cents

saying that he would return on the

NEW SETTLERS COMING
There Have Been a Great Many

Joining Counties.

In this immediate vicinity new
settlers for the farms Of Dawson
and surrounding counties have beer
coming in very satisfactorily indeed.
No less than thirty families nave
moved into The county this spring

Ethan or Mitchell. Last week six.

were shipped to Mt. Vernon. com

man, Clayton Smith, George Lennox
Of Granger, Iowa and E. TampIin, OF
Dewitt, Iowa. These men have
moved on to farms in the vicinity Of
Mt. Vernon and hereafter will be
counted as good South Dakota citi.
zens. Ten families arrived in
Mitchell several weeks ago from
Iowa points, and these. too, have
settled OF Dawson county land.
Last week Is carloads of immigrant
goods were unloaded at Letcher and
an equal number at Plankinton.
This is simply a repetition of what
has been going on in the spring for
the past four or five years and Illus
trates the fact that this and the
southern part Of the state is keeping
in touch with the growth and dev ell
opment that is going on in South
Dakota. Our Pierre friends would
nave the state at large believe that
the alleged great settlement that is
being made on the reservation west
of Pierre that that part of the state
is about the only one getting in new
settlers, and carrying the idea that
the center of population is moving
That way. What is being done in
Dawson, Sanborn and Aurora coun-
ties In this way is being duplicated
in other counties north and south of
Mitchell. and it will be continuous
IN the years to come. There is this
difference between a settler on the
reservation: When they move into
this section, where agriculture is a
settled fact, they bring their fam
lilies and household goods, farming
implements and stock right along
with them and begin active farm
work. Whilst on the reservation the
settler goes out there and files on a
piece of land, puts up a small shan
ty, tries to live within the limit of
the law in order to prove up. Which
can be counted as the actual settler
in the matter Of population. The
reservation man gives no eveidence
whatever that he is going to be a
citizen on the reservation "a hours af-
