A School Election.

The last legislature of South Dakota
passed a law which entirely changes
the election of school boards. Under
the old method the members of the
school board were elected at the same
time as the city aldermen, and the
board was composed of two members
from each ward. This has been all
changed by the new law. The Hot
Springs board hereafter instead of
having nine members, two from each
ward and one member at large will
have only five members and will be
elected at large or from anywhere in
the district. The membership of the
school board is matter of vital in:
terest to all residents and is really as
Important as any other election, but
there has been very little interest
taken in the matter.
Petitions have been filed nominating
the following for members of the
school board: S. E. Wilson. G. E.
Brelsford, Jay Crane, r. A. Hummell,
with Henry Marty for treasurer.
The election will take place next
Tuesday.

The Academy Matter.

Rev. r. Fl. Dolliver writes Rev.
Chappell that he expects to be home
about the Dist, when he will hold the
quarterly meeting for the church. He
says that DR.. Nicholson, Rev. Hunt
and Prof. Gilliland, of Wesleyan
University, will also be here at that
time to close up the deal for the
academy property. He did not go into
any details relative to the matter. but
it is assumed that the purchase by the
Wesleyan University will be consum-
mated. DR.. Nicholson has been pro-
noted to become a financial secretary
for one branch of the church which
will take him east and away from
Wesleyan University. This is a great
loss to the school and it was feared
would temporarily effect the opening
of the academy but when they NEE t
here the 2lst the matter will be de
termined

Another heavy rain fell here Thurs
day noon, filling the cutters to over
flowing and making savage little rivu-
let's in many places. As the heavy
rain did not cover very large area
and was of comparatively short dura.
tion it did not raise the creek but
little, which was fortunate indeed, as
the work of repairing the damages
caused by the food of last week has
not yet been sufficiently advanced to
place them in safe condition to with.

No Hu,nbug.

No humbug claims have to be made
for Foley's Honey and Tar, the we'll
known remedy for coughs, colds and
lang troubles. The fact that more
bottl es of Foley's Honey and Tar are
used than of any other cough remedy
is the best testimonial Of its great
merit. Why then risk taking some un-
known preparation when Foley's Honey
and Tar costs you no more and is safe
and sure. Sold by all druggists.

County Primary Election Results.

The full vote Of Fall River county
was not out because of the rainy
weather, bad roads and high water in
streams, the total republican vote
cast being 5S7. It is estimated that
this is about 200 votes short of the to.
tai republican vote in the county.
Had this vote been out there would at
least have been $50 majority more for
the stalwart ticket.
The returns from the various pre-
cincts on the offices that we're con
tested give the following sesults:
U. s. Senator-Kittredge 447, Craw-
ford lao; Kittredge majority 3o7
For Congress--Martin 4s9, Burke
4ol; Glass IS; Hall II; Martin majority
4l3; Burke majority 324.
For Governor-Brown Ala, Vessey
l2G; Brown majority 2SS.
The remainder of the state ticket re-
ceived about the same majorities. al
though the vote upon these offices was
somewhat lighter.
On county offices, those upon which
there was contest, the total vote was
as follows excepting Duck Creek.
which cast about l0votes):
States Wilson 435. Jones
"a; Wilson majority 341.
Sherif-Jensen 81, Goddard 131.
Arnold 1913; Jensen plurality 1873. or
81 majority.
Register of Deeds-Whaley 800, Cook
l45, Phillips 176.
This does not include votes of w G
Flat and Duck Creek.) Whaley
plurality so far as heard from, 46.
Treasurer-Conger 26O, Sage 276,
(not including and Duck Creek, which
is said to give Sage more maiority. J
Sage majority SO far as actually
reported, 16.
Judge of Probate -Hedrick 1874.
Cleveland 205, Juckett 169, mot in.
Guiding Duck Creek which is
unofficially reported as giving He'd
rick 0, Cleveland 8 and Juckett o.
This leaves Cleveland Ii plurality.
There was no strife over the other
offices, and consequently all whose
names appeared upon the ballot were
nominated.
The county auditor, clerk of courts
and judge of probate constitute the
feanvassing board and they will canvass
the votes as soon as the BALLOT boxes
are all in.

TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
Such is the Political Situa-
tion in the State
CRAWFORD MAY WIN
Chances are at Least Favor
able to Martins Being
Nominated

Returns relative to Tuesdays cleo
ton In South Dakota are not suffici-
emily complete as the STAR goes to
press to give positive statement as to
which faction of the republican party
has been victorious. The insurgent
dispatches declare chat Crawford Sc
cured over 5000 majority over Kitt-
redge and that the whole insurgent
ticket has also been nominated, al
though they concede the possible VIC
tory of Martin for congress.
The stalwart dispatches declare that
the state is so close that it will prob
ably require the official count to de-
eide the result. The last message re-
ceived by the STAR Thursday noon
just before going to press, says:
"Senatorship very close, not over
1000 either way. Martin seems to be
nominated"
The Black Hills did the right thing
by the stalwarts, Lawrence rolling up
1900 majority, and the others ranging
from $50 to SEQ majority. Martin ran
ahead of all candidates on the stall
wart ticket.
Custer county gave the stalwarts
about $50 majority; Pennington gave
$50; Meade and Butte gave smaller
majorities. Fall River with over 300
stalwart majority was fine and would
have been 500 had the country pre-.
cincts cast full vote.
