Lest we forget--Clarence Copple is

good and faithful service, aud that the

Mr. Copple to continue on this route,
it Is up to the patrons on this route
who are thus faithfully served to come
to our carriers relief, and make up u
purse OF at least one dollar for each box
served This will not increase Mr..
Copple's salary to anywhere near what
the service rendered is worth. There
seems to be some inquiry rs to wheth-
er our carrier cannot finish his delivery
In time to catch mail train No. west.
We believe this is quite impossible
since the Dukes valley extension has
been put on this route. 1t Is possible
that subscription paper may be circu-
lated among us in few days, so let us
be prepared to do unto our carrier as
we would like 10 have others do unto US
under like circumstances.

es Pierre with slandering the eastern

purposes as the land east of the NV

seekers, and i'm fact all people eros

owners OF lands i'm the eastern part of
South Dakota: How do you like to
nave your property mlSrepreSented
i'm order to assist Pierre in her as
plrations? Your vote should be cast
in such a way as to rebuke this SLAM
der and %falsehood, that it may react
upon the heads Of it's instlgators.
Let us all tell the truth. We be-
lieve that with the capital at Mitch
ell, where it belongs, that it will
raise the price Of land in the eastern
part Of the state So to $40 per acre.
To all that honestly believe such
slush, sell your land here for sos per

river and squat on government lands
for the taking. There is lots OF it.

REPORTS OF TWO OFFICERS
Chief OF Police and City Justice
Show. What Has Been Going
in Their Departments.

Chief of Police Keith presented his
annual report to the city council at
It's recent meeting and it contains
some matters that are interesting to
che public. In the year he has ar
rested lO5 persons. so of whom were
for drunkenness, and the others were
distributed among gambling, bawdy
house and the inmates carving con-
ceaied weapons, transient merchant
and peddlers and leaving carcass on
dump ground without burying.
The number of arrests for drunken
ness is exceedingly small for a town
with over 5000 population and With
seve saloons. 1t shows that TIL
said ms have a wholesome respect for
the law. The chief has collected IL
censes from various things that have
come along during tile year, which
includes the corn palace week,
amounting to 81 062. O5 for the year.
The poll tax collected, which is in
cluded in the foregoing, amounted in
number 35S, and 27s were paid in
cash. The chief says this is the
largest amount of poll tax that has
been collected in a number of years.
The street Improvements have not
reached any great amount this year,
as they were put in good condition
a year ago. Three cement crossings
were laid, one catch basin put in and

is the Peoples Favorite.

Alexandria Herald: The capital
removal question is becoming rather
warm these days, and as the weather
continues to warm up so will the
question OF capital removal continue
10 sizzle with heat. The arguments
in favor of Mitchell most used are
her accessibility to the people of the
state; her location near the center
of the states population; the provi-
sion Of a large tireproof building
which cal be used for a temporary
capitol building and other arguments
which should %favorably impress the
people of the state. From this point
of view it nov looks as though
Mitchell is the peoples favorite.
