REPUBLICAN, JUDICIAL TICKET
Judge OF Fourth Judicial Circuit
Frank B. Smith, of Mitchell.
STRONG CAPITAL TALK.

Canton Leader: Considering the
record made by Pierre n securing
the capital 1T comes with unblushing
cheek from TIE Pierre organs to
charge Mitchell with trying to buy
anybody or anything. In the capital
fight of 1890 the Pierre promoters
carried on the most demoralizing
campaign Of debauchery aver known
in the west. Their agents were
every where and bought every man
who would sell h%is.influence or vote.
1t was the most disgusting and de-
grading Doodle campaign ever inau-
gurated, and the vast Doodle fund
collected by Pierre and disbursed
with such brazen impudcnce did
much to give the state a serious set
back in the eyes Of honest people.
Pierre afterwards repudiated her
debts and bond obligations and her
Ograns now charge Mitchell with
trying to buy some body or some
thing.
Pierre secured the location of the
capital through open and corrupt
Doodle methods, and Doodle ..alone
gave her victory over Huron and
Huron went broke trying to match
Pierre's corruption. Had the ques-
tion been left to an honest express
sion of the people at the polls, Hur-
on would have won OUT easily, and
no man will question the truth of
the statement. Pierre bought the
capital in 1890 just as she is trying
to hold it now.
There is not a Pierre boomer in the
state today outside of a so mile
circle around her, but knows THAT
Pierre is not the proper place for the
seat of government. 1T will never
be a convenient place for the people
to reach; it will never be neal the
center of population it has never
met with the approval Of the people
since it went there and the people OF
the state will never be statified un-
til it is removed.
The capital was won by Pierre
through a corrupt combination OF
real estate and town lot boomers
and every man vino was not in. the
inside OF the corrupt deal was
skinned and most OF the other fell
lows found reputation of obligations
as their assets when the capital
proved to be a dead load and with
out benefit.
When the legislature decided ~
such a remarkable majority that the
capital should be moved, it expressed
the wish of nearly all the people OF
the state, and the people of the state
want it removed, ana it will be re-
moved.
Why should any man be deceived
by the falsehoods Of the Pierre
boomers There is certainly no rea-
son why any man should vote for
Pierre unless he lives in or close TO
it.. Lit is to the interest of every

Bamboo In CHM md .J,nan.

For centuries the Japanese and Chi
nese have raised the bamboo as a
practical crop. The natives Of tropical
India and the Malay archipelago would
be as much at a loss without it as the
American farmer without his white
pine, for they. depend upon it not only
for their chief building material, but
for ropes, mats. kitchen utensils, etc.

The Ideal Beauty In Japan.

In the Japanese ideal of beauty these
are the desired points" Her face and
figure, hands and feet and her nose
must be long and narrow, her arms
and limbs slender and her hips small.
Broad hips are the one objectionable
sin. Few Japanese women measure
five feet, SO the length of the figure is
