THE VISIT is PERlLous

Aberdeen Democrat: On Saturday
last quite a number of Groton and
vicinity were given a free ride to
Pierre, for the purpose Of letting
them judge for themselves the adj
vantage Of accessibility which Pierre
has over Mitchell. This move on
the part Of the Pierre workers is TAX
en- with much reluctance as we'll as
misgivine, out since the large party
recently taken to Mitchell from this
same neighborhood returned from
the brief pleasant trip, enthusiast
tically challenging them to take a
party to Pierre. they have realized
that they had to do this thing. how
ever hazardous it might be. Now,
having got, started, they must con-
tinue the dangerous experiment OF
physically demonstrating Plerre's in
accessibility.
Ii these people are making a bust
ness trip to the state capital and
went to Mitchell instead OF Pierre
they would have four hours and forty
minutes in which to do business.
and would be back in Groton a few
minutes after nine. The difference
between Pierre and Mitchell as to
accessibility to the Groton man is
very graphically illustrated by his
situation at bed time of the day up
on the morning Of which he left
home. If he went to Mithcell he
could he home at OIL the same
evening while on the other hand
he would be going to bed in a hotel
at Pierre, leaving a call for 3:l5 i'm
the morning. so that he might get
the four O'Clock train, that would
get him TO Wolsey at 1880, where, af-
ter laying over nearly ten hours be
could get the Milwaukee train and
get bone at led time. He loses "a
hours of his life, a good nights sleep
and about five dollars additional eN.
pense for extra railway fare and no.
tel bill. The man who makes this
trip, it would seem, ought to have
pretty we'll impressed upon his mind
the folly of retaining longer the bur
den of this additional expense and
discomfort merely to crafty a sem
timental geographical center.

Bookings Register: Mitchell

Bookings Register: Mitchell
wants the capital removed from
Pierre to that city because it be-
iieves ii viii enhance the value Of
property of every resident of that
city. and Of every farmer for miles
around, and materially assist In fur
Their developing the county.
The Register does not put the
question honestly. The question of
enhancing the value Of property in
either city is not at stake in this
campaign. 1t is well understood
that property in Pierre is not worth
any more today than it was fourteen
years ago, not so much in fact. The
Register loses sight of the fact that
l07 members took this matter Of
capital removal into their own
hands, and decided which town
should be pitted against Pierre. 1t
happened 10 be Mitchell. These lO7
members declared by their vote that
another place would be more more
desirable than Pierre. Then why
should the Register attempt to make
it a real estate move on the part Of
Mitchell. There were so few legis-
lators who voted against the removal
idea that we presume we are safe in
saying that the most of the Brook
ings county legislators voted with
the great majority. and they GER
tainly had no particular interest in
booming Mitchell property. If the
Register feels that it must criticise
somebody why it can commence on
the members of the legislature.

j. d. Lockhart, John Nipple and
L. w. Gardner, went down to Yank-
ton to register for a qurater section
Of land on the Rosebud reservation.
The first two are members of Pierre's
capital committee, and the wonder
is that with thousands of acres OF
land lying right at their very door
which they can secure for 90 cents
an acre that they would 90 to all the
trouble of making the long trip to
Yankton to register for a Rosebud
quarter when they could positively
secure a quarter section without TAX
ing any chances of drawing. This
is the way. evidently, that the
Pierre people appreciate the Dement'S
which lie within their reach.

LESS EXPENSIVE TO STATE

One OF the arguments presented by
Mitchell in the capital campaign
that is attracting the attention oil
the voters is the fact that by remov-
ing the capital here it will be a saw
ing in the matter OF taxes and also
in the way Of expense to the people
of the state who have business to
transact at the state capital. This
latter expense is something that has
to be reckoned with on a larger scale
than is usually given credit for. In
the way of transportation at every
session Of the legislature the state
will save an expense Of over 81, 800,
which in the course of years will
amount to an immense sum OF
money. But this is the smallest feat
ure. 1t is unquestionably true that
ii the capital remains at Pierre that
the state will be called upon to erect
a new capitol building. The condi-
ton Of the present state house is
such that 1T is not a safe place tor
the records. We have the word OF
Ben P. Hoover, a strong supporter OF
Pierre, for that, who a little over
a yea ago could not speak dlspar-
agingly enough of the state house in
an interview with the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader. 1t is conceded that
an appropriation running all the way
frnn, Sonn ann To G-nn Ann min L.
asked for by the legislature, and
when that appropriation is passed ii
will be d heavy drain on the people.
What business man or farmer in the
state would net consider it good
business judgment to avoid a debt of
$500, 900 and the payment Of interest
on the same for years to come. This
Is just what Mitchell offers the peo-
pie OF the state when it tenders the
free use CT the entire city hall build
ing as a temporary capitol home just
This tender renders it unnecessary
for the state to build a state house
until the lands set aside for the pur-
pose reach a price where it will be
source Of profit of the state to sell.
In the matter of transportation Of
material for the construction Of the
building at Pierre the state will
have to pay freight rates $50 miles
farther than at Mitchell, which OF
itself will be quite a large item Of
expense. Attorneys who have bust
ness at the capital will make a great
saving to their clients in mileage
and the expense OF staying at Pierre
from n to three days, and in the
course of years this will reach a large
amount. AS an instance an attor-
ney from Sioux Falls, WATERFOWL or
Aberdeen going to Pierre will con-
sumo nor mileage and two days
more time than with the capital at
Mitchell. This expense comes out
of the client. and there are hundreds
Of them over the state who will
have to pay the increased expense.
In these matters it is impossible to
caluclate the expense in the years to
come.

The Aberdeen News is supporting
Pierre at the present time for The
retention OF the capital. When the
capital removal resolution Vas befole
the legislature the News and its
editor We're working in harmony
with Mitchell. In the weekly edi,
ton of the News of January 10, 1903,
Editor Mcleod penned the following
lines:
The passage of the capital re.
moval Joint resolution by a vote OF
10 to Is in the house and 80 to 5 in
the senate shows that there was
something more behind the move.
ment than the clever manipulation'
about which there has been much
glib talk. The vote shows that the
people Of the state demanded an
other opportunity to vote upon the
question and TIC locate the capital
elsewhere than at Pierre in the event
OF there being no change in the rail-.
road situation-in the event that
there is not probability of Pierre
emerging from its inaccessibility."
We fail to see wherein the condi.
lions are any different concerning
the removal Of the capital now an6
then. How does Editor Mcleod har.
monte his opinion of January. 1903,
with his attitude of today?

A Ru.e nf wnr.

This happened In 1T97, when Colonel Rate, with the Legion Noire, landed near Fishguard, intending to march on and burn Bristol When the expedition appeared off the coast there was only a handful of volunteers available to Op- pose them. and Lord Cawdor. who was in command, mustered all the Welsh women he could gather together.
 Each of these wore a long red cloak descending. petticoat fashion, almost to her heels, and thus attired they were made to march and countermarch among the hills. presenting themselves at different points to the view of the enemy in such a way as to give the i'm pression of red uniformed troops taking up position. The French were so pug zled by their appearance that, although they landed. they could not make up their minds to advance until sufficient time had elapsed to raise the country and bring forward a real force strong enough to beat them back.-Pearson' 8 Weekly.

When he was apparently dying at Mad rid. she found her way to him through prlvation and danger and succeeded in efecung his deliverauce. When he was iu at distance from her, she went ev- cry day and sat down on a stone in the middle of the road to catch the first glimpse of a messenger afar or. And she said:
 "Ah, whoever shall come to announce the recovery of the king my brother, though he be tired, jaded, soiled, d. sheveled, l will kiss him and embrace him as though be were the finest gen tleman In the kingdom
 When he died she seemed literally heartbroken. and she did not long sur yive him.

After the body of a Brahman hai been anolnted with sesamum oil the two toes are bound together and the two thumbs. It is then iashed to a
 litter made of two long parallel poles, io which are fastened seven transverse pieces of wood. The shroud is very simple, a large piece of cloth wrapped round the body and bound with ropes of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves a will his face is not covered; other wise the shroud is brought up over the head The burning ground, or ghat, is usually near river, that those who have taken part On the ceremonies may purify themselves as quickly and as easily as possible. Before erecting the funeral pyre a shallow pit is dug and partially filled with dry wood, the body is covered with splinters of dry wood and sprinkled with panchagaria, an indammable liquid, and placed on the pyre and covered with branches and roots, like a hut. The nearest relative or heir then takes a lighted taper and sets fire to the four corners of the pile and leaves at once to perform the cere- mony of purihcation. The carriers, be- ing of the lowest caste. remain until the body is entirely consumed.
