Pierre weekly free press. (Pierre, S.D.) 1889-19??, 1906-10-04

made nominations by petitions for
these three places, and call them repub-
iican, but the candidates nominated reg
uiarly at the primaries to be held will |
go on the ballot as the republican nom
inees. The insurgents, it appears, in
their effort to save the board of county
commissioners for their interests, out of
the wreck of their political fortunes in
this county, have been somewhat too
previous i'll getting out petitions when
The law says such nominations shall he
made by the primaries The Dakotan
may have to Tull down part of its tick
ct if it still wants to remain republican.
Returning visitors to the corn palace
last week in several eases say they met
people in that town who are not salts
fled with the $1,000 majority Pierre
rolled up on the capital fight, but want
the matter resuhmitted to another vote
two years hence. Those who expressed
such ideas, however, were considered
either fossils or gralters. The level
headed business men of Mitchell are
satisfied they want no more capital con
tests in theirs, and the issue is dead for
all time to come. ANY talk of another
capital contest must be considered in
the nature of josh.
A locomotive engineer, in charge Of
one of the gravel trains at work OH the
new line up Bad river, near the new
station Of Teton, was scalded to death
and his fireman injured seriously,
Tuesday. The latter was brought to the
hospital in this city. The train was
backing in on a siding when the en-
CINE left the tracks. A broken steam
pipe caught the engineer, John Pinkert,
in between the engine and tender,
where he got jammed. He leaves q
wife and three weeks old baby at his
home in Huron. The freman's name
was John Heiny.
Some of the city aldermen of Pierre
are evidently staggering under too big
a load in managing the affairs of the
city. Either this or their heads are
getting sWelled. When a constituent
approaches one of these gentlemen with
a courteous question and he commences
to swear and rant 1t don't look first
rate, This is the experience citizen
and taxpayer had with an alderman on
the First National bank corner the
other day. Probably one of the alder
men can tell who it was.
The government LAM office, which
was to have moved last week to the
new federal building, has decided to re.
tain its present quarters OH Pleasant
Drive for the present, or until the heat
ing plant is installed. 1t is likely the
postottice, land office, weather bureau,
and other government offices in the city
will not go into the new building until
sometime next month when the heat
ing apparatus il in working order.
John Laughlin has on exhibition in
his real estate office on Dakota avenue
a lot of vegetables and grain that were
grown in Stanley and Hughes counties
that are simply immense. One beet
brought in from Stanley county weighs
twenty seven pounds, and it must have
taken stump-puller to have gotten il
out of the ground. These are speci
mems of crops raised this year, ano
show how this country can produce
when it gets good fair chance.
