Quite IN interesting, case. came az,

piece of land in Charles Mix county.
The land was quite valuable, but by
reason. of its size, being. only a tract

WANT DRAINAGE
County Commissioners are Wrestling
With the Drainage Proposition
in This County.
in This County.

The exceedingly wet weather of
last spring has turned the attention
OIL the farmers in various parts OF
the county to the question of drain
ing their land, and this week the
county commissioners have been
wrestling with this problem. Just
where to begin and where to stop is
the situation which confronts them.
The commissioners have been in
session several days, and ON Wednes-
day the members went out to the
farm OF the Dakota Improved Seed
Co. to inspect the proposed drainage
oltch. All season long the company's
land along the road and to the south
mas been under water and many vialu-
able a"res have been Withheld from
seea..ss The commissioners con-
s1dered the drainage of this farm a
good portion of Thursday but took no
definite action.
Thursday afternoon the petition of
q. w. Downs, residing near Mt. Yer
non, was presented but it was put
over until the October meeting upon
the suggestion and advice of States
Attorney Spangler.
. Another petition embracing Blen-
don and Badger townships from f.
A. Mccormack was received by the
board. The proposed site of this
ditch is very extensive and the board
took the same action regarding view
ing the site in the e future. 1t
Will be passed upon at the October
meeting.
There are several intricate legal
phases to be considered in digging a
county drainage ditch and the board
of commissioners is loath to take
steps that will involve them in any
serious difficulties. The proposed
Mccormack ditch is almost as ex-
tensive as the ditch in Sanborn
county, against the construction of
which Judge F. B. Smith recently is
sued an injunction.
The board also at this meeting ap-
to the city Of Mitchell,
$1,000 to defray part Of the expense
incurred in constructing the two
bridges over Dry Run.

HEMENWAY EXPLAINS
HIS FIRST DEFEAT
Says Indiana People Lost
Sight of All But Tenn
perance Question.
WILL STAY IN POLITICS.
SENATOR is NOT CAST DOWN BY
THE RESULT OF ELECTION AND
SAYS PRESENT ECLIPSE IS ON.
LY TEMPORARY.

Washington, Nov. 19.-- Senator
James A. Hemenway, of Indiana, has
arrived in Washington. The Senator
is not cast down by the result of the
election in the Hoosier State, which
means his defeat for reelection. He
takes the accepted view of the cause
of Republican defeat in Indiana and
said that the failure of the Republi-
cans in the state does not mean his
withdrawal from active politics. 1t
was the first time since Senator
any office that he has suffered defeat.
He has qualification OF knowing. he
says, that his own county, normally
Democratic, gave a Republican ma
jority this year
THE platform of the Democratic
party in Indiana was satisfactory to
the temperance Democrats" said Sen
ator Hemenway while the Republican
platform was not satisfactory to the
liberal Republican element, and this
caused our defeat. The liberal Repub-
licans were mad and refused either to
vote or voted the Democratic ticket.
The voters of the state lost sight of
every other issue except the temper,
ance issue, and the result shows that
the people did not approve of the at
titude of the Republican party on the
temperance question. 1t is only tenn,
porary eclipse"

he then declared. II think American
criminal law today in large measure
fails Of its purpose"
Mr.. Bonaparte made the assertion
that "of all the peculiarities Of our
modern criminal law which are help
full to undesirable citizens and harm
full to the public, in his opinion it's
gravest and least excusable deficiency
is found in its endless delays.
Law Must Punish Quickly.
I'VE have small judicial districts"
he said, intermittent sessions of our
criminal courts, judges sometimes ov-
erworked, sometimes indolent, prose
cutors sometimes overburdened by
their duties, sometimes politicians
rather than lawyers. All this makes
for delay, and all that makes for de-
lay makes against the efficiency of
the criminal law.
When the people of an American
state or the American nation decree
death to whomsoever shall do thus
and this, and let the transgressor live
for months and years while lawyers
wrangle and juries disagree. and
| judges reverse each other. there Is
room for doubt and doubt in fact
whether the state or nation does in
truth mean business. That sovereign
| Furnishes with double efficacy and
with triple certainty who Furnishes
while the crime is rank and recent"
