The Rnlinn Passion

Nanny Liza has lived with the
family long enough to acquire
words and expressions, which, used at
second hand, are sometimes fatal to
the family gravity. Recently a men,
Der of the little circle had occasion to
call for the horse and surrey from
the livery stable. After waiting &
long while the order was repeated,
with no immediate result. Nanny,
having heard the conversation, and
knowing the impotence of her mis-
tress, expressed herself thus:
Huh! Dey's jes' no use countin' ON
dem libery stable folks, dey's SO dill

DISCARDED FROM PRACTICE

George w. Egan, the Sioux Falls
attorney who has been in the lime
light ever since his dramatic advent
into South Dakota, has been dis
barred from the practice of law in
the courts Of this state by a decis-
ion of the supreme court. The dis
barrment proceedings hinged on the
actions of Egan in the O'Grady case,
the facts of which are familiar with
the reading public. The supreme
court found, after all the testimony
had been submitted, that Egan's
actions in demanding a fee of $780,
600 and taking all the property of
Mrs. O'Grady when she was not
mentally competent to tranact her
own business, as such that was UNI
an attorney and that he
not a fit person to represent a
client at the bar of justice. The
opinion was handed down by judges
Haney and Corson, and it supports
Judge Frank b. Smith, of this city
in his findings. Egan is the re-
publican candidate on the Mime
haha county ticket for states attor-

didate on the ticket is elected. There
II no reason for dividing the strength
OF the republican party with the
democrats in the least, and it should
not be done in any instance. ny do
ing SO this simply paves the way to
even greater things for the demo-
cracy, and which they can only hope
to obtain through the generosity of
republican voters. The legislative
ticket is composed of George A.
Johnston for the senate and C. F..
Drake and G. H. Helgerson for the
house. three men who will we'll and
thoroughly represent Dawson coun-
ty in the law making body of the
state. Geo. H. Miner for county
treasurer, H. b. Anderson, for audi
tor. s. Cattrell for clerk of courts,

two years and have made good in

1t is possible that the fact will be
overlooked that a congressman for
the short term must be elected in
November to fill out the unexpired
term of the late Col. Parker, who
died in the spring. For the vacancy
e. W. Martin was named by the re-
publicans at the state convention
held here in July, and MI. Martin
is also the regular nominee for the
two-year term. The democrats are
hoping to land their candidate in the
place for the short term and gain a
little foothold in state politics which
they are not entitled to by right of
numbers or any other ground. A
separate ticket will be provided to
vote for Mr.. Martin for the short
term, and this must be remember
ed when you go to the polls.
