wife. who was then in Kent. That
letter is dated March %. 1899, and was
sent to London by messenger.

When l.. v. Schneider, of this city,
was out in the Hills, be made it a
point to feel of the people on the
removal proposition. On his return
he told the Special that the Hills
country was against removal as the
people could see no benefit they
would derive by changing it to
Mitchell or any benefit to the state
at large. And now comes the Black
Hills Mining Review, published at
Deadwood, with an article r%eiterat-
ing and endorsing Mr.. Schneider's

"WORSE THAN ROT"

This talk about a new capital
building at Pierre if that town wins
out this fall is worse than rot. In
order to secure a building, two.
thirds of the house, two-thirds of
the senate and the governor must be
favorable, and all sane men know
that the present capitol building is
large enough for many years to
come. Parker Free Press.

At IN examination in an English
school the teacher was so pleased with
his class that he said they could ask
him any question they liked.
Some were asked and replied TO. See
ing one little fellow in deep thought,
the teacher asked him for a question.
The boy answered. with a grave face:
"P-please. sir, If you was In a soft
mud heap up to your neck and l was
to throw a brick at your head. would
you duck?"
The answer is not recorded.

WOULD GO AFTER MITCH
ELLIS SCALP.

What we want sometime in the
future is a permanent capitol build
ing that will compare favorably with
any building of it's kind in the United
States. The state would be very
foolish to build such a building on
wheels. 1t is reasonable to presume
that if Mitchell should win out,
some other town would itch to bond
itself and 60 after Mitchell's scalp,
there is absolutely no doubt that if
the people say Pierre this fall the
capital will stay there, and the
state will run no risk in building a
building that will be a credit to it. -

PIERRE SUPPORTERS NEAR
MITCHELL.

Last week we were talking with
an insurance agent about capital
matters and he said that he stopped
at Spencer, very near Mitchell, about
three weeks ago, and there was a
crowd at the hotel, and the capital
question was brought up. Out of
thirty five, there was only one man
who favored Mitchell, and he was
an editor Of that place. Okobojo
