Judge j. X. Breeder, who has
been Judge Of the probate court of
the county for nearly six years.
or three terms, feels dissatisfied
with the result of the republican
county convention at Blunt, in
which he participated and lost
out for Il denomination, and has
fled his petition as an independ-
ent candidate. While the Judge
is a good citizen, neighbor and
tax payer, the voters of the
county will have but small symp-
athy with his bolt of the ticket.
He has had pretty good thing
in this office for the past six years,
and shouldn't expect to hold it
for Il life, time. The nominee,
Glenn w. Martens, for probate
Judge, is Il young man who repre-
sents the young republicans Of
the county, is very popular and Is
an attorney admitted to practice
before the supreme court of the
state, which is q sufficient test OF
his qualifications. While he is
comparatively a new conner in the
county, he has already established
a reputation for integrity and
good character, wherefore the re.
publican voters are going to sup
port him almost to man. which
means his election. The Free
Press is sorry to see it's old and
respected friend, Judge Breeder,
running independent. This paper
is sorry it can give him no en-
couragenent. 1t will have to
give the republican voters Of the
county advice to vote for Mr..
Martens, the regular nominee on
the ticket, and believes that
Judge Breeden's candidacy, after
he has entered the canvass both in
the caacuses and convention, was
i'll advised and induced by false
friends.

The Northwestern railroad has
increased its capital stock from
100 to 200 millions for the pur-
pose Of raising money to extend
It's line to the Pacitic coast. The
trick was turned without hesila-
ton and created very little furry
IN financial or Industrial circles.
We wonder how long it would
have taken the government to de-
eide to build this line and to pro
vide the funds necessary for it,
A us-Leader
rhe Northwestern road is going
to turn some very wonderful
tricks the next Two years This
company will build h. through line
from Chicago, via. Pierre, to
Portland, Oregon, and will make
lt, perhaps, the best transconti-
nenta! line to the Pacific coast in
the country. Pierre will be an
important division point on this
road ut the crossing Of the Mis-
sour river, and stands d. good
show Of being the principal city
between Chicago and Portland.

ped q carload Of ippies from Mis-
souri, and had to pay eleven cents
per hundred more for them under
lthis beautiful new rate law than
The did under she old arrange
J ment, which allowed the railroad
companies to make fair and
Just freight tariff. South Dakota
lilppears to be getting it where
| the chicken got the axe, under
iGhe new law. Some of our citi-
zens are already beginning to
realize that the propositions of
so-called reformers, upon which
they have beet SO enthusiastlcal-
ly bent, are turning out to be de-
4 :. &
lusions. When they come to
pay a considerable advance
per hundred on freight rates
under IA new reform law the
same loses It's glittering charm,
because it touches their pocket
books.
The Press says the rate bill is
on trial. At the present rate of
complaints sent up the verdict
will be strongly against it.
The Free Press has always in
sisted that this law was an utter
sham, and the facts are being
produced to prove 1t.
The railroads have tried to
mind their own business, as any
one should, but reformers
wouldn't let them, and the dear
people are commencing to pay
the freight.
The Press argues the govern
ment ownership of railroads, as
per Bryan theory, as a panacea,
but this would undoubtedly
prove far more disastrous than
the present condition in which the
| states Of the middle west have
been brought by this fool law
that compels a shipper to pay
more than the railroads ever
wanted to charge him for freight.

Honorable John Sutherland, of
Pierre, met the Free Press man
during the past week, and stated
| that he had letter he wished
published in this paper, which
would deny, over his signature,
that he had ever circulated a petit
ton in Sully county for the nomi-
nation of George w. Harris, a
democrat, as an independent can
didate for state senator, as was
alleged in the Free Press last
week. The editor cheerfully
agreed to publish such letter,
with Mr.. Sutherland's full state
ment and denial, but up to the
hour Of going to press it had not
been presented at the Office. We
wish to state, after an investiga-
ltlon, and in eXtenuation Of Mr..
Switzerland, that he did not circn-
late such petition amongst the
voters Of Suily county, as alleged.
We are frank to admit this much.
However, We may add, he carried
1.-THE petition for Mr.. Harris nom
1ination to Onidn, where he turned
Fit over to y certain person for cir
|culation with the voters, and has
since represented himself as the
attorney for Mr.. Harris in the
difficulty that has arisen over al
legged deficiencies in the petition
of the latter, which may invali-
1date the same and cause his name
Ito be left off Of the ballot. OF
course everybody will recognize
1 the fact that Mr.. Sutherland has
full right to represent Mi. Harris

voters are apt to shy at the fact

The writer once saw an indian kill
rattlesnake In a very peculiar man
ner. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian. who was resting the
rife on his knee, apparently taking aim.
Whenever he moved the weapon n
few inches the snake would move
around and get exactly In line with It
Then, to show how the thing was done,
the Indian moved about the snake In q
circle, and the reptile moved as II its
tail were pivot, always keeping its
head and body In line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage his
eyes and shoot the snake In the mouth.
The writer bandaged the Indians
eyes, and. holding the gun by his side
at arms length. the latter pulled the
trigger, and the ball entered the snakes
mouth and passed the whole length of
its body.
How did you take aim2" was the
query.
THE snake he take aim," was the
reply.
We have talked with an old hunter
on this proposition, and he claims that
rattlesnake will always range direct.

Anatomy of an Oyster.

To discover the heart of an oyster
the fold of flesh which oystermen call
the mantle must be removed. This
is fatal to the oyster. of course but in
the interest of science aud for the ben.
eft of the "curious" 1t Is occasionally
done. When the mantle has been re
moved the heart. shaped like Il cres-
cent or horned moon IS laid To the
view. Tie oysters heart is made up
of two parts. just like that OF hu-
man being. one Of which receives the
blood from the gills. and the other
drives it out through the arteries. Tie
liver Is found in the immediate yicin-
ity of the heart and stomach and IS
queer slRped little organ. which IS
supposed TO perform all the functions
of Il blood filter. Every oyster has a
mouth. a heart. liver. stomach and
other necessary internal organs, in
Guiding a set of cunnngly devised IN
testlnes The mouth is at the small
end of the oysters body near the
and though not readily discovered by
an Impractical eye. 1t may be easily
located by gently pushing blunt bod
kin or similar instrument along the
folds of the surface of the body ut the
place mentioned. Connected with the
mouth is the canal which the oyster
uses in conveying food To the stomach,
from whence 1t passes into the curious
little set of netted and twisted lntes-
tines referred to.-Santa Fe New Mex

Rnters. saiInbouts and Larks.

What is rater, a sailabout a lark,
is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater Is
thirty-eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib. The
half rater is thirty-two feet long, car.
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets a five minute handi.
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
ries a single large sail and is built on
graceful lines. with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail
Few larks are built now Most Of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board is often entirely out Of water
during heavy winds; hence the use OF
the double board.

A colony Of wasps made nest Ia the
dark room of studio last summer. At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company, but for Ger
tain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention to the little buzz
zers, and they came and went at their
own sweet will. After a time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him, his
ways and his dark room. One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill.
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him, but made for the
old crack in the wall Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like bullet Within
five minutes half dozen wasps came
with a rush at the stranger and two
of them located him. But the writer
has never been touched by his wasp
colony.-Outing Magazine.
