Professor Watson Dead,

Professor John A. Watson, who was
principal of the Custer public schools in
1902, died at his home near Norwalk,
California, March 81, 1904, aged Sc years
A more detailed account of his death,
taken from California paper, follows:
Mr.. Watson's death came as surprise
to his friends, as he had been confined
to his bed only a few days. Quite
awhile ago he was afflicted with la grippe
which settled in his head, affecting the
bones just back Of the ears. Several
months ago he was operated upon and
these bones were removed. His eyes
were also affected, for which he was also
treated. He seemed to be very much
relieved, and it was thought be was in a
fair way to recovery. But he was taken
worse about week ago, the trouble in
his head becoming acute, rendering him
unconscious, from which be never raj
lied. His daughter Edns, who was at
tending school at Berkeley, was sum.
moned and reached home Thursday
morning, only few hours before the
end came

Died,

At the residence of their parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Perrin Of Custer, on
April 25th, 1904, Mildred Perrin, aged
one year and five months.
On the same date Raymond Perrin
aged two years and nearly eight months.
Also on Saturday a. M, April 3Oth,
Helen Perrin, aged three years and ten
months.
The tragedy ola life time condensed
in six brief days is told in the above
death notice. The death of little child
is always sad, and the loss of little chill
dren a grief more poignant, perhaps,
than any other, but to bury three il the
short space of one week is a sad, sad
destiny, and Mr.. and Mrs. Perrin have
the sympathy of the entire community
in their great bereavement.
Seldom have the sympathies of the
Custer people, always kindly, been SO
deeply stirred as by this occurrence for
these three little children by their grace,
winning charm and bright promise had
endeared themselves to many hearts,
which ache to realize that the pretty
Mildred with her pretty charm, Ray
mond with his brilliant promise and the
sweet womanly child, Helen, have van
ished from earth forever. Such losses
leave US poor. May the Father of infin-
ite comfort console the stricken hearts
of the parents in this dark hour.

South Dakota Nominees.

Samuel II. Elrod, who was nominated
for governor by the republican state
convention last week, is one of the best
known and one of the most active re-
publicans of South Dakota. He was
born May /, 1856, in Hendricks county,
Indiana. In 1882 he graduated from
Depauw university in that state, and
Immediately came to Dakota, locating at
Clark, now one of the principal towns of
South Dakota. He at once engaged in
the practice Of law, in which he has con-
tinued with marked success. He is
serving his tenth year as states attorney
of Clark county. He was a member of
the first constitutional convention, and
has been delegate to every republican
state convention except one since the
state was admitted to the union. He has
wife and two children. The man who
will be the next governor of South Da.
kota has wide acquaintance throughout
the state, and is exceedingly popular a
fact testified to by the overwhelming
vote he received in the convention.
J. E. McDougall, for lieutenant COVER
nor, one of the new men on the state
ticket, has been prominent in the legis-
ature during several terms, and is count
ed one of the strong men of the state.
Another new man on the state ticket
8 D. d. Wipf, of Hutchinson county,

etary of state. He is one of the rising
'oung republicans of South Dakota, and
las been tested in responsible off cial |

among the solid republican |
counties Of the state.
The other nominees are men who
we're renominated to the positions which |
hey are now filling, and do not require
n introduction to the people of South
Dakota. The fact that practically all of
hem were accorded denominations by
exclamation proves that they have per-
ormed the duties Of their positions to
he satisfaction Of the republicans of the
tate.

The st. Louis Exposition.

j. +. Pitcher, who has been in st.
Louis for the past six weeks or more ar
ranging the Black Hills, mineral exhibit
at the exposition, arrived home Tuesday
evening. In a conversation with Mr..
Pitcher, he said the fair itself, nor the
Pike is finished and it will be another
month at least, before it will be, what
you might call practically finished. But
it will be grand when it is done and
everybody should arrange to spend a
few weeks in st. Louis this year. Many
of the state and country buildings are
not done. The roadways and paths are
incomplete. The Pike buildings are
none Of them finished, but this, Mr.. Pill.
cher says, is not the fault of the owners,
but the weather, which has for two
months been something simply fierce
nothing but snow and rain, wind and
freeze, day after day an! he persistency
with which the fair builders have kept
at their work and fought the clements,
in the face of so much to discourage
them, is greatly to their credit.
Mr.. Pitcher says, the South Dakota
display is complete in every re-
spect, and compares more than favor
able with exhibits from other states.
He expects to return to st. Louis in
about two months to remain until the
close of the fair. During his absence,
Mr.. C. w. Pitcher will be in charge of
the Black Hills mineral exhibit.
