pledges from what they considered a
majority Of the possible members who
would favor capital change, and then
used Huron and Redfield as catspaws
to help them gather chestnuts, with
certainty that in the caucus they
would be left out, and Mitchell be
the winner. Mitchell was pushed early
in the session, and one Of the peculi-
arities of it was that it came to the
house from the senate in time to be
passed on Friday the 18th day of Jan
Iary, in a year which had thirteen for
it's numerals. The thirteen followed
by Pierre receiving thirteen votes in
Mitchell at the time of the election,
and Mitchell receiving thirteen votes
in Hughes, IN which Pierre is located
at the same election
The fight which followed was one
of the most spectacular campaigns
ever. held in the state The North
Western road backed Pierre, and the
Milwaukee backed Mitchell, and
passes were issued without limit, to
any point in the state.
It's Pierre's Fight.
The saane argument Of centrally
ard future development which had
been used by Pierre from the begin
ming Of its existence was again potent
in this campaign, and the final vote
was $500 for Pierre, and 10000 for

LAYING CORNERSTONE OF NEW CAPITOL
TERMINATES TWENTY=FIVE=Y YEAR CONFLICT
Spectacular Are Portrayed History of Long Battle Over
the Permanent Location OF State House.

In that year the move for division
and provisional statehood was placed
before the people Of the south half Of
the territory, and a vote was secured.
With the question of possible division,
came also a question of capital loca-
ton, and Pierre, Sioux Falls and Alex
andria entered the lists. While but
little attention was paid to this cleo
ton in many parts of the territory
and a light vote was cast, Huron won
in the vote.
Matters, so far as the south half of
the territory was concerned, were al
lowed to go in this way until the final
statehood bill was secured in 1889. At
that time Huron interests demanded
that as they had secured majority
of the votes in 1885, that town should
be made the capital of the south half
by the provisions of the bill. Con-
gresham Springer of Illinois opposed
naming any town as the capital OF the
new state. but demanded that it

the votes cast for a capital, that at
the following election the two towns
which were in the lead in the first
fight for permanent capital should be
submitted, the town securing the ma
jority Of the votes to be the t.perma-
nent capital of the state. This, he
explained, was to prevent continued
dispute over capital location.

To dance cotil1on on skates the
participants should be fairly good
skaters. 1t is necessary to know the
forward and backward strokes as well
as all the little turns to get through
the figures successfully.
Nearly all the figures which have
been given at the club cotillons have
been adapted from dancing figures.
They lend themselves readily to the
skating features, merely requiring
more space than the dance does Fav-
ors play their part in making the af-
fair success as we'll as giving it a
picturesque air.
Every woman who joins a cotillon
club is pretty sure to flnd 1t one of
the most entertaining as well as ben
eficial pastfnes of the season. Think
of the pleasant way she has of reduc-
ing her hip girth. 1t is not every ex-
ercise that has so entertaining a
phase as this roller dancing and few
accomplish their end SO readily. Su-
perfluous flesh disappears and 1t does
not return If dancing is kept up two
or three times a week.

| A nut decoration is always effective
for Halloween party and a "nut
tree" is very pretty for a centerpiece.
Take sturdy potted plant of any
| kind or a small evergreen tree or
branch of one and cover nuts with
silver and gold paint and hang by
means Of baby ribbon on the tree.
| Within the nuts have little slips of
paper on which must be written some
prophecy or fortune for the guests.
Fill cocoanut shells with bonbons or
shelled nuts and tie yellow ribbon on
the cocoanut shells. Another is to sus-
pend from the chandelier a leafless
branch and hang upon it some black
paper bats and funny old owls. The
leafless branch can be rubbed with
phosphorus and hung heavily with
gilded walnuts, producing very pref
ty effect. Witches, black cats, little
kettles, half moons and jack o. Ian
terms are all used in decorations and
as favors. OF course, red apples are
always in evidence. The old trick Of
going down cellar backwards with
lighted lamp and holding a mirror us
ually discloses the face of the future
husband or wife. Anyway, 1t would be
a very queer sort of a man that would
not be on hand down cellar IL he knew
that the maid. the lamp and the mir
ror were on their way down. Another
Halloween trick is to fill the mouth
with water and go around the block,
and the first man one meets and has
to speak to will be the future husband.

vidual the other day. Now, perhaps

our neighboring ravines. However, II
one is fortunate enough to own pal

boy will be out in all his glory, with
soap and tar to embellish the windows
in the city and to mutilate as many
clotheslines as he can, but this par
ticular holiday belongs to the small
boy and those who wish to retain their
clotheslines would better take time by
the forelock and put them snugly away
in one corner of the basement. All
sorts of uncanny noises are expected
this evening and only the cranky indi-
vidual will complain of the little fell
lows throwing beans and potatoes at
his doors and making the evening hid
