Roswell Miller and a. j. Earling-
grand old Alexander Mitchell, But
if a line were to be drawn between
| the friends and the enemies OF Col.
Hunter throughout the state, the
cause of Mitchell might lie IN the
majority.
Those Pierre fellows and Caldwell
seem to think that Mitchell and
Dawson county committed some
fearful chime by not attending tn at
convention. The whole thing is SO
absolutely foolish on the pant OF
Pierre to bring out at this late day.
1t has not the slightest bearing ON
the capital question, The Repnbii-
can and Mitchell people fought fol
division and admission from 1851 to
1889 just as strenuoasly as any town
or community. There we're several
other counties in the state tina
were not represented in that con-
venlion, which were not particular
ly in sympathy to make Frank Pet
tigrew or any II else a senator.
After all when the state was adj
mitted to the union and the past
actions reviewed concerning the
convention it was generally admitted
that we-are-a-State-moVement rath-
er retarded than aided admission.
This is borne out by tie fact that
it was four years after this conVen-
ton was held that tine state was
admitted to the union. 1t seems
now that about all there is left of
the Pierre end OF the campaign is
to work on the ~prejudices of the
people against Mitchell, 1t is un-
necessary to point to the many ways
in which Mitchell has contributed
to assist in building up the state
with her corn palaces chat have
heralded the good fortune of South
Dakota far and wide, has attracted
immigration hither and assisted in
bringing her fair name into good
repute again after the years OF SLAM
der from the east. What has Pierre
ever accomplished to bring South
Dakota into prominence during the
fourteen years she has had the cap
ital? There is not the first thing
that place can point to as assisting
in the building up of this common
wealth, and Mitchell does not feel
at all like she was buttin' in as a
candidate for the capital. 1t was
the expressed wish of 100 mem bers
of the state legislature that pla ced
Mitchell as a candidate for this
honor.

Feels Indignant About 1t.

Mitchell, S. d., June l6.-To The
Press: History furnishes US with
many startling examples of per-
sonal bravery, and we have count
less pages of both ancient and
modern fiction to peruse simply
teeming with chronicles of adven-
turous and daring deeds. But sell
dom is it given to us ordinary NOR
tails to satisfy the something which
lives in the minds CT ala sort of
craving to view with ones own eyes
a being thus gifted.
How fortunate are then the pres
ent citizens of Mitchell in being
able to behold daily one who, it
must be safe to say, possesses in his
own person enough courage, in a
condensed form, to satisfy any rea.
sonable person.
This wonderful being is no less a
parsonage than the chief CT police,
and if the graceful mantel of fame
has not already descended upon his
faithful head it certainly is not
through lack of strenuous effort on
his part to deserve it.
Such comparative small deeds OF
bravery as the arrest of the numer-
Gus hoboes and tramps who lnfest
the city and whose moments Of ele-
CANT leisure are passed in unmolested
repose in their cosy but built of
railroad ties. is 20 tait for the fas-
tidiouS appetite of this daring man.
No. indeed. His unparalleled So
licitude for public veal and safety
revels in such deeds of glory as
shooting little fox terrier puppies,
six months old. or the arrest of some
unfortunate, who, forgetful of the
watchful eyes looking for such hard
cases. happens to fall asleep in a
doorway.
Just think of the awe-inspiring
courage Of a strong man to stand up
with a gun and shoot a little white
puppy who had strayed two blocks
from home! The fact that scores
OF mongrels and dogs of all sorts
are running about the city mmuzzl-
ed makes it more wonderful and
can be explained in no other way
than that they belong to persons
who, though but ordinary mortals,
are possessed of courage of another
kind.
Let some of US thank God that af-
ter all we are but ordinary mortals.
Mrs. j. d. Thwing.

Gus reflection on Mitchell and Dav-

delivers himself of a little bit of
ancient history. In an article sent

Seal" makes mention Of the consti-
tutional convention which was held
in the summer Of 1885 for the pur-
pose Of getting South Dakota into
the union as a state, and comments
on it by referring to Mitchell and
Dawson county not having enough
interest in statehood to send dele
gates to the convention to assist in
carrying the alleged burdens of state
hood and admission. Cal then goes
on to criticise Mitchell for aspiring
to the capital Of the state, without,
as he says, making an effort through
the convention to bring about the
result. That was somewhat before
the time of the editor Of this paper,
but we quote what Ralph W. Wheel
ock, of the Minneapolis Tribune, had
to say on this very proposition a few
days ago in reply to Calls idea abou
tine constitution convention:

The San Angelo Hotel building
was erected by l.. b. Harris in
1884, and afterwards became the
property of the Lasker Real
Estate Association. At the time
of its erection it was the only
business house north of the Cor
ner saloon. The brick of which
it was built was manufactured in
San Angelo and was of poor
quality. A quality of clay that
would withstand water was hard
to find with the facilities they
had for obtaining it at that time.
The original cost of the structure
was in the neighborhood of S75,-
600. 1t has been the property Of
the Lasker Real Estate Associa-
ton since 1893. The walls were
cracked in many places and it
was in II very dilapidated condi-
ton and has been considered un-
safe in great many respects for
a long time.
1t is safe TO say that the
burned district will be rebuilt
with modern and up-to-dute
structures. The old site is one of
the most centrally located in the
city and San Angelo people have
too much energy and get-up-and-
git spirit to let this ground lay
vacant for any length of time.
1t would he paying investment
for any one of means to replace
the burned portion with buildings
of two or more stores. There is
talk of rebuilding and there is
no doubt that ere long handsome
brick or stone structures will
stand where once stood the old
San Angelo Hotel.
WORK OF FIRE COMPANIES.
Exceptionally good work was
rendered by the fire companies
with John FreeIand as their chief.
One company carried II string Of
hose to the top of the Harris
drug store building and kept u
stream of water constantly play
ing on the burning building
This together with the new hose
on Chadbourne and another in
the rear, both playing on the fire
wall where the flames were uIti-
mately checked, prevented the
conilagration from spreading to
the adjacent parts of the building
and probably from destroying
that whole side of the business
district. Many compliments are
being given the fire boys. Many
of them took great personal risks,
some Of them becoming overcome
by heat and smoke, and George
Norton received severe iaiuries,

has reason to be proud of her fire
boys. They are hard workers
