Death ut Mitchell.

A travelling painter narrowly es-
capped with his life at Mitchell sun
day while attempting to paint an ~
foot smokestack at the butter plant OF
the Turner Produce company He
had managed to throw hook over
the top of the stack and had climbed
a distance of about sixty feet when
the hook slipped off. He fell. striking
the roof of the engine house and then
onto the ground, which in measure
broke the force of his fall. 1t was a
miracle that the man was not killed
outright. but he escaped with brok-
en- hip and a number of bruises on his
face and arms, He was unconscious
for several hours, but refused to give
his name when he came to. The
county officials took charge of the
case. as the man had no means of pay
ing his medical attendance.

TIE promoters of the Farmers Ma
tional Congress, which is to meet at
Rock Island. H., Oct. 2. have called
upon Gov. Elrod to name not less than
one hundred delegates from South
Dakota TO attend the convention. The
question is whom to select for this
who would care enough about the
matter to attend, and any resident Of
the state who wishes to take such a
trip at his own expense as a delegate
to this congress could. no doubt. have
his name placed on such a list by no

ITALIAN DEAD ONES.
Local Officers Must Notify the Denver
Consul ii There Are Such.

Secretary Root has notified Gov. Ell
rod of the provisions of the agreement
between the United States and Italy,
that whenever a subject of Italy dies
in this or any other state of America,
and there are no heirs at law in the
section in which the death occurs. 1t
is the duty of the local officers to nou-
fly the nearest Italian consul as to
the facts in the case. The consul for
that country who is in charge of this
part of the United States is Pasquale
Corte. who is stationed at Denver.
This matter is of importance to South
Dakota since the large number of
Italians are being brought in and en-
ployed in the state, and Gov. Elrod is
having a circular letter prepared to be
sent to the different probate judges OF
the state, covering the regulations in
regard to this matter.
