STATES NORTH END
MADE BIGGEST GAN.
POPULATION INCREASE THEN
ABOUT THREE TIMES THAT
OF SOUTH PART OF STATE.

Pierre, S. D.-A study of the cen
u figures of South Dakota shows
some interesting facts in regard to
the westward tendency of popula-
ton. The counties along the eastern
side of the state known e. the Sioux
valley only show an Increase of 6.S
per cent. The increase in the Jim
valley counties is thirty per cent, and
in the counties of the Missouri valley
above the Jim SO per cent, while the
entire country west of the Missouri
shows an increase of SO per cent
above the state census of 1906.
Looking at the, matter in another
way the portion of the state east of
the Missouri and south of the I'd
parallel, (the line between Brooking
and Moody extended west to the Mis-
souri) increased 10 per cent while
the portion north of that line increas-
ed 23 per cent.

The board, of which Colonel Orr

ELECT
TEAM CAPTAINS
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ELECTS
STUDENT MANAGERS OF
TEAMS-MUCH RIVALRY
WAS NOTICEABLE IN THE
CAMPAIGN.

Society politics were at fever heat
over at the university Friday morn
ing. The annual election Of manag-
ers for the football, baseball, basket
ball and track team was held at noon
in the college chapel. 1t was the cul-
mination of several days vigorous
and insistent campaigning OH the
part Of the contending parties. The
Kappas won most of the offices, de-
feating all but one of the Daedalian
candidates by an average of about a
dozen votes. "Doc'' Edwards, the ia
nous all state center on the univer-
sity football team, was elected mana
ger Of the football team for next
year, over Ellis Walters, the Daedal-
ian candidate by fifteen votes. Log"
Smith and Maynard Hardy were
elected baseball and track managers,
defeating their Daedalian opponents,
Guy Cook and V. Van Patter by a
smaller majority than DOC" Ed
wards received.
Louis Loevinger, the Daedalian
for basketball manager
managed to defeat the Kappa nomi-
nee, Corde fitzpatrick by nine votes.
4 his is Mr.. Loevinger's first year in
school and it certainly is a high
compliment to the young man that
he was able to split enough ballots
in a Kappa landslide to be elected.
AS was previously predicted the
new society, The Delta Rios, held
the balance of power, and turned the
election largely to suit themselves.
They did not put up any nominees
for the Offices this time, but in the
future they will be in a position to
dictate to the older and stronger So
cieties,

COMMITTEE
FOR SHORT COURSE
MEMBERS OF COMMITTEES AP.
POINTED TO HAVE CHARGE
OF THE SHORT COURSE IN
AGRICULTURE.

4. meeting Of the Mitchell Com
mercial Club sHes held for the pur-
pose of appointing the committees to
have charge Of the short course in
agriculture, o<be held Jan. 16 to
81, in connection with the state corn
show, and which will offer a splen-
did opportunity for the farmers and
their wives to get considerable tech
nical knowledge concerning the work
on the farm and in the household,
for 1t should be understood that a
domestic science course has been pro-
vided for during the week for the
benefit of the women. 1t should be
understood, too, that the domestic
science course is not wholly for the
women of the country, but the wom-
en- ofSthe city are as earnestly invit-
ed and urged 10 attend the course
The following officers were ap-
pointed to have charge Of the week:
President, Robert Burns; secre-i
tary and general manager, w. A.
Wheeler; treasurer, L. L. Ness; e.
P. Sand, O. E.sBrowne and other
members Of the committee will look
after certain departments; Albert
Hill, Judge of live stock; W. r. Rom
aid, advertising; Mrs. Geo. E. Foster,
science.
With the appointment Of these
work will begin in earn
est to arouse interest in the short
course and the state corn show
which will be held at the same time.
Tickets are III be sold for the
weeks course 1t the rate of SO for
the course and the corn show or 81
for the corn shaw alone; tickets to
the women for the domestic science
cours, So. The'short course will be
held in the city hall, as will the
state corn show, while the live stock
work will be conducted in the stock
pavilion in the eastern part of the
city, which will be in charge of capa-
bic men. The ! domestic science
course wills s9conducted down
town, a room for which will be Sc
cured some time later. The indica-
tons point to a great week in Mt
chell, which will have the only short
in the state, in all probable
ity, and 1t will be the first one to be
held in the state.

FARMERS INSTITUTES
PROGRAMS ARRANGED
SUPERINTENDENT CHAMBER.
LAIN HAS OUTLINED A SERIES
FOR SEVERAL TOWNS IN
CENTRAL PORTION.

Brookings, S. D.-The program of
the farmers institutes at Woonsock-
ct, washington Springs. Gam Valley,
Onida. Gettysburg and Faulkton
will be as follows as nearly as has
been arranged at present. The
meetings the first day will be at 1880
and at 1880 in the evening.
The afternoon program will be
addressed by Hon. Andrew Elliott OF
Ontario, one of the leading Institute
workers Of America, a Scotchman OF
much experience and a splendid
speaker. His subject in the after
ternoon will be Horses and Corn"
and in the evening he will deliver an
address upon "Home-making."
Mr.. John Robertson will speak in
the evening OF "Small Fruits" MI.
Robertson is one of the most sue
cessful fruit growers in the state,

sions might be well attended and
made very interesting. Mr.. w. r.
Gardner of. Meade county, one Of the
most successful dry farmers In the
state will speak upon the "Conser-
walton of Moisture" These men
are assigned to these meetings be-
cause Of the fact that they have
been successful along the lines

Washington, ID. C.-All signs nov
point to a loss OF n member by the
state of Iowa under the terms of the
appOrtionment that is to be passed
as a result of the new census. Iowa
is among the states that have de-
clined in population in the past dec
ade. Nebraska also will probably
lose a member. South Dakota stands
a good chance of increasing it's rep
Presentation in the house from two to
three members. Following the publi-
cation Of the total census figures for
the United States the opinion seemed
to prevail around the capitol that
the membership of the next house
would be fixed at an even 400. Such
apportionment would increase the
size of the house as now constituted
nine members. The population of
each congressional district would be
227,733. as against a population of
1872, 200 per district under the pres
ent reapportionment act. If the
membership of the house Is increas-
ed to 400, as seems likely, there will
me a gain OF nineteen congressman
by the following states:
New York, 8; Pennsylvania. q;
Oklahoma, 2; California, Q; Wash
ineton, Q; Massachusetts,, L; New
Jersey, Texas, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Minnesota, Utah and Oregon,
1 each.
Ten states would lose members as
follows:
Mississippi. Q; Maine. Virginia.
Kentucky, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas, each
Under this apportionment the
states east of the Mississippi would
gain five members, while those west
OF the Mississippi would gain IL mem
bers. The loss of ten members would
be evenly divided between the east
and west. Thus the west would make
a net gain. of five members. Under
any apportionment the west must
gain.
There will be a big fight on the
part of the states that would lose a
member of congress as the result Of
this increase in the membership of
the house to keep the basis of rep
resentation at the present popula-
tion figures.

front room he founa the body OF the
girl on the floor AMI Jacobs standing
nearby. The weapon lay on the floor.
When 4earched Jacobs had in his
pocket nothing but u pocketknife,
which was taken from him. That he
contemplated committing suicide was
indicated By the fact that three tines
vile being taken TO 1ai! he demanded
that the knife be returned to him.
At his frst trial Jacobs alleged that
the girl took the gun from his pocket
and shot herself. 1t is believed that
at the new trial the same sore Of a
defense will be made and an effort
made to convince the jury that the
girl securedspossession of the weapon
and shot herself, and that Jacobs was
in no way Responsible for the tragic
death of the girl.
Jacobs fT4t trial took place in
June Of last5year and resulted in his
convicttens and the imposing of a life

TRIAL FOR
MURDER OF GIRL
OSCAR JACOBS HAS ANOTHER
CHANCE TO CLEAR HIMSELF
OF DEATH OF YOUNG MIL
LINER HE LOVED.

Sturgis, S. Done of the most in
teresting murder trial to take place
in South Dakota this year will be
the new trial of Oscar Jacobs, a
young man who is serving a life
term in the Sioux Falls ~penitentiary
for the murder Of his sweetheart,
Miss Elba Roberts, which will COM
mence in the state circuit court of
Meade county on Tuesday of the COM
in. week.
Jacobs is charged with having at
about $3.50 o'clock on the evening Of
January 10, 1909, fired the shot
which killed Miss Roberts. The girl
met her death in the millinery estab-
lishment of Mrs. John F. White,
where she was employed. Jacobs
and the girl were alone in the front
part Of the building at the time, but
the shot was heard by persons in the
rooms back of the millinery estab-
lishment and by other who were
passing along the sidewalk in front
of the building.
At the time Oscar Jacobson was
only "a years of age. He arrived at
Sturgis less than three weeks before
the death of Miss Roberts, coming
from Steel, S. d.
He was a sutton for the hand of
the girl, having known her several
years before either went to Sturgis.
The theory of the authorities always
has ben that because his habits had
become such as to meet with the
strong disapproval of the girl she
had refused to marry him or have
anything further to do with him, and
that when she so informed him in the
millinery store he shot and killed
her.
White Chief Witness.
One of the important witnesses for
the prosecution at the first trial, as
, he will be at the new trial which is
to commence Tuesday, was John F.
White, husband Of the woman by
whom Miss Roberts was employed.
White, who was in the living apart
ments Of himself and wife and Miss
roberts, in the rear of the building,
was suddenly aroused by q scream,
a shot and a noise as though some
one had fallen. Running into the

Estimates for Cities.
1900

OF curse these figures for 1900
are but estimates, hut they are not
far from right. 1t will be een that
Mitchell, Lead, Watertown and Hur-
on will have about the same popula-
ton figures, with the chances favor
ing Mitchell to lead the other three.
Lead had 6,210 ten years ago.. but
Lead has not been growing as much
as Deadwood.
The counties about Mitchell have
all shown a healthy increase, Auro-
ra has gained 2,132, or about SO per
cent; Sanborn, 2,143, or about a
third; Hanson, 1900, or about a
fourth; Hutchinson 1872, or about 8
per cent; and Douglas 1927, or
about one fourth.
The largest actual gain among the
counties was made by Stanley,
which grew from 1,341 to 1895.
But it is hardly fair to compare it
with the counties east of the river,
as it was practically unsettled a dec
ade ago and besides is big enough to
be a state in itself.

Populations Estimated
From Figures Return

1000
Is City's Population.-Coun
tvs Increase in Ten
Years is 4,142.

AS nearly as can be estimated from
the population figures for the coun.
ties of South Dakota, Mitchell haa
moved up from fifth to third place
among the cities of the state, in point
of population.
The population Of Dawson county
has increased 4,142 in the last ten
years ana of this number probably
three. fourths, or 5000, belongs to
Mitchell. This would make Mitch
ellis population approximately o.
900. Dawson county is small, con-
tanning only 432 square miles, and
tue country was we'll settled when the
1900 census was taken. 1t seems
lat not owe 1000 of the gain could
belong to the county outside of the
city.
. Aberdeen has undoubtedly made
the largest gain of tn ecities Of the
state, as Brown county has among
the counties. The gain in Browns
population is 1851. But Brown
county contains 1,728 square miles,
or Just four times the area Of Davi-
SON county. Furthermore it is
known that the north part of the
state was sparsely settled ten years
q o and that over half the increase
for Brown has been made in Aber-
deem, which would give that place
10000 people.
Minnehaha county has added 5,7O7
to her population. It is a big couhAA
ty. but was we'll settled ten years
ago, so that Sioux Falls has probably
gone to 1900.
Estimates for Cities.
Estimating the population Of all
the cities on the same basis, gives
