IMP OR'T'ANT DEAL
The Congregational Church
Goes For a Good Big
Price

Items Of Local and Personal
Interest During the
Week.
The trustees of the Congregational
church, with the permission of the mem
bers, have sold their valuable property
at the corner of Capitol avenue and
Pierre street for $1,000 in cash and an
exchange of three lots on the corner of
Highland avenue and Prospect street,
which is west of the Winner cottages.
Thissis one of the most important real
estate deals thaCshas been transacted in
the city for years. The church will be
removed, and it is said that big new
block will GO up next spring, on its 10
cation, which is across the street from
the new Hyde opera house and the big
new business blocks Mr.. Hyde is com
plotting. The church people intend to
begin the erection of a much larger and
better editce on their new location,
which is within one block of the state
house, and most desirable location.
!. 1t is also said that the Gund Brewing
company will now put up a big brick
warehouse on Pleasant Drive near the
Clifford store, the legal objection being
removed OF having saloon or beer
warehouse within block Of a church.
4 These improvements are only few
4 among many that are going up as. fast
!. as the plans can be made and the ma
( terial can be had, which is causing
Pierre to grow and expand with every
breath of the prosperity the city is ex-
periencing.
The county convention at Blunt last
Tuesday resulted in the nomination of
every county official who has served his
first term, and the only contest OF the
convention was over the nomination of
probate Judge. Judge Breeder, who is
now serving on his third term was
pitued against Glenn w. Martens, and
the latter won out by vote of about
Is to 6. Judge Breeder has made a good
official, as no one will deny, while his
successor is young man of ability, re-
Gently admitted to practice law before
the supreme court, and quite popular
wherever known. He came mere about
two years ago, as a stenographer for
Judge Fuller, from Milbank. His
nomination is meeting with favor from
our citizens, especially the younger ele-
ment of the republican party, who in
sisted on some recognition on the ticket.
The Free Press will print the entire
ticket next week, and will cordially en-
dorse the same. The stalWart element
Of the party controlled the convention
almost entirely, and will soon reorgan-
zethe county central committee.
Congressman Burke appears in an in
terview in a Washington special, in re-.
gard to the congressional campaign all
over the country, which he has charge
of as chairman of the national commit
tee. He predicts republican success
and that the majority of the party in
the next congress will be no smaller
than the present. He will make trip
west to Pierre this week with his fam
lily, his wife and daughter having just
returned from tour through Europe,
and will accompany him home to this
city. Our congressman is one of the
leading men of the country today, and
tae vuters of this state are now begun.
ming to realize their folly in retiring
such valuable man for this state and
the country at large from congress.
It is to be hoped that two years from
now Mr. Burke, if he so desires, may be
returned to congress, Rpd serve the
D state with the distinguished ability he
has always displayed.
The city council has heid several adj
jnurned sessions the past week, to con.
slider the matter of Sidewalks and the
grade on the streets over tile fiat. At

Kehr introduced$a nasolution which re-
cited that it was common report that
some Of the gambling houses were

have its license revoked. After some
discussion this resolution passed with
Ssonly one dissenting vose, and the police
eere instructed to notify the different
places.
