S ty. They will be two busy weeks

what Circumstances surround the

A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the trial Of the miner
leaders out at Boise, Idaho. Not in
a great many years has the country
been aroused to the high pitch tiHit
it is over the fate of Haywood aud
Mover. AT Boise the trial, it is said,
does not attract uuch attention
tlom the people for the reason it has
been rehearsed and discussed in
every possible phase. At the sane
time people want justice done for
the murder OF their deceased COVER
nor. but who is to be punished the
people have not expressed a sentiment
to indicate who is responsible for the
murder. The socialists of the coun-
try are making the greatest noise
about the trial in the interests of
the defendants, whom they declare
are being treated in a n 0

would be correspondingly less trouble

President Earline has set at rest
ali doubts about the Milwaukee com
Pany building its coast line within
the shortest time possible. The
president and other officials are
making a trip overland and from a
far western point word has been
sent by the president that there is
not the slightest question but what
the line is a dead SURE thing. 1t has
been contended in Wall street that
the road would not be built to the
coast. The president has given the
financiers another guess.

The session of the grand lodge OF
Odd Fellows at Pierre last week
was one OF the most interesting in "A
number Of years. One Of the promi-
nent matters of the grand lodge at
the present time. and which con
Germs every Odd Fellows in the state,
is the effort that is being made to
secure sufficient funds with which to
build an Odd Fellows home. This
fund was started several years ago,
and at the various meetings OF Odd
Fellows on different occasions this
fund has been added to in "A very
liberal manner. as was shown when
a special session of tie lodge was
held in Mitchell recently. A popular
donation was started by the tossing
of silver dollars in the center of the
lodge room and it reached a goodly
sum before the members stopped
contributing. The Odd Fellows are
looking around for a location for
their home and some Of these days
they are going to commence work on
the structure at sore point in the
state. 1t would be a good idea for
the Commercial COMMITTEE to take
this matter lp in conjunction with
The Odd Fellows of Mllchell and
see what can be done about S curing
the home for this city.

The Sioux City Tribune has re-
ceived another assuring telegram
from Washington that Col. Parker
has been down to the national
capitol looking after some Of the
delayed appointments that were to
have taken place in this state some
time ago. Col. Parker gave it out
that he thought that in the course
of time everything would be all
right. The appointments seem to be
slow In coming and some are being
held up-for what purpose none
seems to know. The Sioux Falls
Press gets away up on a high eleva-
tion and advises the insurgents to let
the offices go and stick to the high
minded principles which ought to
govern and control the ideas Of men
who ale engaged In the great reform
work. The Press a we'll afford to
take such high grounds when it is
not in a position to know, just &C the
present. time. at least, what it mean
to lose out on the appointments that
looked SO sure. The Press has got a
portion of its share OF insurance
statements from a republican adj
ministration, but on what grounds
that emocratic-independ
newspaper was recognized heaven
only knows. The Press of course
shot it into the stalwaIts to smooth
the way for the insurgents. but when
the campaign was on it was not
noticeable that the Press was doing
any helculean stunts to elect Coe /.
Crawford governor Of the state or
help to elect any senators or repre-
s~entatives who would vote for
Senator Gamble. The Dell Rapids
Tribune also did a little stunt for
the insurgents before the state
convention, aud then when the
opportunity came the Tribune
published an unsigned atticle which
attacked Mr.. Crawford and Senator
Gamble and caused such a commotion
In the state. And the Tribune is
being fed from the insurance state
ment crib. Brer Basford is following
the proper idea of ''to the yictors
belong the spoils," hut where in
heavens name does the Sioux Falls
Press and the Dell Rapids Tribune
get any credit for the victory OF the
republican party Of the state, when
they have been fighting tooth and

The state board Of charities and
corrections has just announced that
there will be no changes in tie heads
of the state Institutions under its
control. Ever since the convention
last summer the faction in the
republican party which was successful
in landing on top and after the
election efforts have been made to
turn out the republican officials who
were holding Office to make room for
the successful faction. There was no
particular reason for turning those
officials down. There were 10 charges
filed against them; there had been
no kicking on the administration
of their Office; everything hau gone
along smoothly, but the idea seemed
to prevail among the insurgents that
"a stalwart republican shoul5 not be
left in Office. Had the democrats
been successful at the election it
would have been the natural sup
position chat all republicans would
have been turned out of Office, but
with the republican party successful,
there was no apparent reason that
would be justitiable for the incuE-
bents to be removed. The only
possible reason that could be assigned
was that the insurgents needed these
official positions to strengthen their
hold on that faction of the party in
order to make their position as
leaders of the republican all the
stronger, and from past events that
have taken place in their career it is
likely that they will need the assist
ance. Where could better men be
found to conduct these Institutions
than DR.. Meade at Yankton, Super
intendent Young at the reform
school lin Plankinton. Warden Par
mley at the state %penitentiary,
Superintendent Kutnewsky at the
Red6eld asylum, etc. They are all
men of %undoubted ability and have
conducted the institutions under
their charge with the full idea Of
giving the best possible service to the
state.
And under the care of these gente-
men each intuition is in IA very
prosperous condition and they will
be kept so as long as they are left in
charge. 1t is really necessary that
lei of experience should be placed
at the heads OF these institutions to
render The best service to the state
and to give the proper attention to
the unfortunate inmates of them.
The state board of charities and
corrections is entitled to the con-
CALCULATIONS OF the people of the
state for not needing the insistent
requests made for the removal of the
neads of the institutions merely TO
give a supporter of the faction a job.

That was a tough wav to treat a
preacher when that congregation
demanded its pastor to return to
William Corey the 81, 900 bill that he
received for marrying the steel king
to the Mabel Gilman. The pastor,
who was not highly paid for his reg
ular services, saw visions of af1uence
for a time that the $1,000 would
bring, but he had a rude awakening
when his congregation took UP the
matter. The preacher felt that he
was entitled to the money, for the
courts had legally divorced Corey and
there was no reason why he should
not we'd again. He returned the
money to the steel kings office and
he will 90 OH earning his small
stipend right along-if the congrega-
tion does not turn him out OF the
church 1t is rather a peculiar act
for the congregation to insist upon,
for doubtless there we're men in the
congregation, in a city like New
York, whose money cones a long
way from being as honest as that
what the preacher earned by per-
forming that ceremony, and if Corey
wanted to make the fee a big one
that was his business. 1t could
not be taken that the minister was
paid that amount as a conscience
fee, but rather as a generous gift.

This week we will decorate the
graves OF the dead soldiers who gave
their lives in the defense of their
country's flag. This is a beautiful
custom, and it is a day that every
body should join in commemorative
the deeds of the dead and show honor
to the living. The cid soldiers are
getting a little too old to attend to
those duties and the custom is now
being taken up mor every year oy
the civilians, and really it is their
duty to do this, and the old soldiers
should be the guests Of honor. When
they are all gone, and the day is not
far distant, either, this duty will
fall wholly upon the civilian. We
hope that the citizens of Mitchell
next Thursday will make it a point
to turn out in large numbers and
express to the living old soldiers
their commentator for the deeds of
the past while commemorating tile
memory of those who have gone
before.

later OF the Watsessing church,
bloomfield, and certain members Of
his present flock at Arlington.
Rev. Mr. Jackson is now pastor of
the Arlington NJ. f. church. and the

ated Monday night when Ralph r. v

ton OF boys, disbanded the guards

ed TO lead them near God. but that
owing to difficulties under which he
was working he could not continue TO
be their commander any longer
Goble and his relatives, who are all
members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. are at swords points with
Mr.. Jackson, and Goble said all of
them would withdraw from the
church. Coineident with Goble's ac-
/ tion in disbanding the Epworth
Guards. President Hoele OF the En-.
worth League of the church resigned
his position. Though it is generally
understood Hoole gave up his charge
because he could not get along with
Mr.. Jackson, he would not admit as
, much. He merely said he had other
matters which demanded his time.
The strike between the Goble FAM
! lily and the pastor began in October,
when the Epworth Guards committee
gave permission to Colonel Goble
! to hold a concert for the benefit OF
! the guards. The committee fixed the
/ dates for the concerts as November

called on Mr.. Jackson 70 talk over

Jackson uneeremoniously forbade
him TO hold the concerts because the
