Comes to Live in Mitchell.

MI. and Mrs. Henry Nicolin, and
family Of Jordan, Mimi, are among
h latest arrivals in Mitchell to
make their future home, having come
the latter part Of the week. Mr.. Mic
olin has leased the Seaman residence
on Rowley and Fifth Avenue west.
He will be engaged in the grain buy
ing business for a Minnesota Touring
mill. and he considers Mitchell a Very
advantageous point from which to
work. The Republican very cordially
welcomes Mr.. Nicolin and family to
the city. The Jordan, Mimi, indie
pendent, makes the following COM
ment on the departure of Mr.. Nico-
lin and family:
Mayor Nicolin is home all of this
week making preparations to change
his residence from Jordan to Mitchell
S. d. The move is made on account
OF the added convenience it will af-
ord him in his work as grain buyer for
the New Prague FIGURING Mill Co.
1T has been under consideration for a
long time and the decision was arriv-
ed at suddenly. 1t is expected that
by a week from today. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nlcolin and family will be settled
down in their new home, as they are
busy packing such household goods
this week as they take with them.
1T will be a decided change for
Henry to lie elsewhere than in Jor-
dan, which has been his place of
abode during his entire lifetime. 1t
VIII likewise be a change for our
little municipality, with whose hist
DRY he has been srenuously identif-
ed, being at the present time in his
second term as mayor.
Himself and his estimable wife
and the children, now grown almost
to mans and woman's estate, will be
greatly missed by their many friends
here, who fain would see them remain
in our midst. Bat being true friends
they reconcile themselves to the loss
in the belief that the change to the
South Dakota home will mean an ac-
cess of prosperity and happiness to
the family. We join in wishing Mr..
and Mrs. Nicolin and the boys and
girls the fullest fruition for their
hopes concerning their home-to-be at

With the last examinations held

both in point of attendance and in
the standard of scholarship MAIN
tanned. The total attendance reach
ed 4OS, an increase over that OF q
year ago, and the highest mark In
attendance yet reached for that term.
In the college proper the attendance
reached 1O5, which makes an aver
age enrolment in each of the four
classes of owe 25. This is the great
est increase by far that the collegiate
department has ever had. The field
agents, by good conscientious work.
have placed the merits of the school
before the high school graduates of
the state especially and the increased
attendance is the result.
During the session of the trustees
last spring the head of the Science de-
partment, Prof. Neal, was authoriz-
ed to procure a considerable mount
of apparatus for use in the laboratory
work. A large quantity has been
purchased and installed during the
term and now the chemical and ply
steal laboratories are fully equipped
to meet the exacting demands of
scientific study and investigation. A
few years ago the science department
was not all that it should have been
but now it is the equal of any in the
state. The expansion in this direct
ion is largely due to the efforts of
DR.. Dobson of the board of trustees.
In this connection it might be we'll
to mention that other branches of
the school have correspondingly
grown an new teachers added in the
schools of and of music,
This is the end of the first term

the student and faculty alike n
this feeling grows as they have be-

with him. The DR.. will continue in
his present policy of meeting the
constituency of the church through
out the state and presenting the
needs of the college through the
coming winter.

the closing day and their names
were not published again, as there
was no change in their votes.
To the young ladies and gentle
men whose names appeared in the
contest The Republican management
desires to extend it's thanks for the
efforts they Put forth in making an
effort to win the prizes, and we only
wish it were possible to make the
Acknowledgements more substantial.
Many of the candidates spent con-
siderable time in securing new sub
scribers aud urging others to pay
up their subscription, resulting in
adding largely to The Republicans
business in both directions.
The contest has resulted in a very
satisfactory manner. The Spratt
Syndicate, which had charge of the
contest during the five weeks that it
was on, gave their personal attention
to it, and conducted things in a very
fair and unbiased manner. They
helped the candidates in whatever
way they could legitimately and with
out prejudice to the opponents. The
plan on which they operate is a good
one, and does not offer much of an
opportunity to bring the candidates
into anything unpleasant through
their efforts to win out.
The circulation of the Daily Repub-
lican and Weekly Capital has been
enlarged to a very appreciate eX-
tent, and the general results went be-
yond the anticipations of the manage

The commencement address delivered
by the Rev. W. S. Woodruff of Poca-

respect. Mr.. Woodhulls' description is
vivid and pleasing, his logic clear and
concise, his delivery easy and his Ian

He argued that we are kings be-

There we are served not only by the

QUESTION SINCERITY.
Governors Session Brings Out New
Phase Of Situation.

The governors were interviewed yes
terday before leaving Washington on
the presidential preference. Governors
Gooding and Cutler expressed them
selves as follows:
Governor Cutler of UTAH must say
that it looks like Taft, and when he's
nominated he will be elected. l have
always been Roosevelt man.
Governor Gooding of Idaho-The
West is overwhelmingly for Taft and
believe he will sweep it into the Repub
lican column in Novembet. He is the
strongest man the party can vote for.
Million of Roosevelt's supporters will
vote for him,
There is a lurking suspicion in many
influential quarters that notwithstand-
ing the President s remuneration. he is
playing a strong hand in the direction
OF his own nomination. The Taft bu-
reau claims more than enough In
structed delegates on the first ballot to

meeting here every suggestion of the
Presidents name for denomination was
cheered. Also at the conference of
the Methodist ministers which the
President addressed Yesterday, shout
was raised for the denomination of the
President and he responded with a
smile that set all the ministers cheering.
Senator Dick of Ohio predicted TODAY
that the ticket would be Roosevelt and
Fairbanks. Others high in authority
in party councils believe that even If
Taft is nominated Fairbanks will be
given second place. It is generally un-
derstood that he is willing to accept it.
Senator Smoot told Jonathan Bourne
yesterday that he believed Roosevelt
would be nominated. He has said to
others that he did not believe Taft
would win. Smoot has given Knox's
friends the impression that he is in
favor of the nomination of the Pennsyl-
vania Senator. The most remarkable
influences will be exerted on the dele
gates at Chicago to convince them that
Taft cannot be elected If nominated. -
