Crushed to Death.

Robert Konantz was crushed to death
between two ears in the milwaukee,
yards at Aberdeen Friday evening at
7:45 o'clock. He was employed by the
railroad company as a car repairer and
at the time of the accident was putting
a new knuckle in the drawbar in one OF
the coaches of the north train, which
had shortly before arrived at the depot
from its daily run. The whole train of
coaches had been sidetracked on what
is known as the ice house track just
opposite the roundhouse. Konantz was
between the cars, and the west train
backed in on the track and slammed
the cars, between which Konantz was
working, together. When the GERS
came together they caught him by the
chest between the bumpers and crushed
him terribly. Death must have been
instantaneous. Nothing was known OF
the accident until an hour later, when
Walter De Walt, a fellow car repairer,
happened to pass by and found the dead
body impaled between the cars.
The Reason for the slump.
Despite the great republican victory
in both the national and state elections,
Major G. Boyd Barrett, democratic
congressional committeeman for South
Dakota, is still hopeful of democratic
victory in 1906 and 1908. 1.-THE great
republican victory" said the major,
twas brought about by the the north
ern and western democracy trying to
get even with the sane and safe
democracy of the east, who brutality
turned u on a General Alger train
n a Palmer and Buckner sideshow to
defeat the regular democratic nominee
in 1896. The western democrats have
waited eight years TO get revenge on
the crowd of fasteners who deliberately
and so unwisely worked to accomplish
the defeat Of Bryan in 1896. Now that
both the democratic clans are glutted
with revenge they will unite in 1906
and elect a democratic house following
mp their victory in 1908 by electing a
democratic president. The people will
within the next two years get enough
of the 'standpat' policy and tired of the
strenuous president, and the reaction
which will surely follow will result in
the people again turning to the demo-
cratic party for relief from the party
which has impressed upon the country
an expensive colonial system and has
freely granted special privileges to
favored classes"

Gold Output Reported.
The report of the State Mine Inspec-
tor Thomas Gregory has been fled with
Gov. Herreid, showing that the South
Dakota production Of gold for the past
year was $7,090,4Sl, which is $685. 600
less than the prediction of the previous
year. The amount Of gold taken out by
the different companies operating in the
Black Hills shows that the Homestake
company's output was nearly So, 900
of this total. The report shows that no
strike or labor troubles have disturbed
conditions in the Black Hills mining
section for the past year aud that there
are $500 men employed in the various
mines. TweDty accidents are reported
resulting in the death of ten employees
and injury to twelve others.

Less Women superintendent.


The late election reduced the number
of women county superintendents in
the state by two. In Day, Miner and
Clay counties the change was from
women to men and in Clark county the
change was from a man to a women.
These changes will make the ratio
thirty-five men to eighteen women sup
erintendents after the new officers take
their places in January. The women
appear to be held in higher favor for
this Office in the western and central
parts of the state than in the eastern
part. All the superintendents west of
the river with the exception of Lyman
county are women, az are also those of
Potter, Sully, Hughes, Brule and
Charles Mix, while for the eastern part
of the state generally they are men.
There will also be quite a change in the
list of such officers from the past year
as thirty five ont of the fifty three are
new officers.
