official pap-suckers have their nos.s
so close to the public udder that the

handed.......A Census

IdIlOeO.......A lenSuS
The taking of the present census
promises to be farce of more than
ordinary hilarity in this county.
If the thing were not so painful
it would be positively funny, and
when the writer considers the mat
ter he is sometime undecided
whether to swear or laugh.
We were talking with one of
the enumerators at Cottonwood,
Mr.. G. N. Boyd. He tells US that
he has small matter of ten town.
ships to cover, and the officials in
charge have allotted to him just
thirty days, or three days per
township. in which to complete
the work. Henry Picker, an en-
umerator in the territory north of
here, has twenty townships to
complete in the same time It
is notne cessary to suggest that
he svill have to step around a bit
to complete township every other
day.
Ut course the enumerators can
not get all the population in the
territory they have received in
the prescribed time and it could
not be expected of them. There
are something less than thousand
questions to be asked and answered
at each domicile and it takes some
time to get from one house to an
other. The territory is usually
large enough to take thirty days
of the enumerator's time to visit
each house and learn whether the
occupants are at home, much less
to ask the questions and record
the answers.
A short time ago the government
was holding examinations in this
part of the state for enumerators.
From the long lists of questions to
be answered and the amount of in
formation to be tabulated one
might have supposed that it was
desired that the applicants ability
to fill q clerical position might be
obtained. Developments would
indicate, however, that it might
have been we'll to have tried the
applicant out at foot racing or in a
trotting buggy handicap on the
race track.
1t all results in handing Stanley
county pretty sour lemon. Here
we have hoped for good showing
in the present census, and the sit.
uation indicates what we will likely
get. We had hoped to increase
our representation when the state
was redistricted SO as to give US {
voice in state affairs commensurate
with our population and progress
Our census will, in fact, be skinned
over, and We will get what we vii
get.

An aggregation of Weta people
decended on Belvidere in company
with Uncle Sans peace officer.
The bunch lined up before Judge
Reeves and told stories that resem-
bled a muddy road on a springy
day. Truth was so roughly used
that it fed from the witness chair
and huddled itself behind the Judge.
1t seems that a local row had de-
veloped among the Weta brethren
and the gall and bitterness of the
scrap was heaped upon the head of
Ed Fremole. Possibly because Ed
is a broad minded fellow and able
to gracefully sustain so responsible
a trust. Whether Fremole sold
the booze, Judge could not tell, but
as the prosecuting witness showed
so vindictive a spirit the gentleman
was relieved from further prose-
cution--Belvidere Times.

Tuesday was election day in
kadoka and was another red letter
day for our city. Every qualified
voter with but one or two excep-
tions voted at the poles and seventy
three votes were recorded. The
full ticket nominated at the caucus
was elected except the council man
from first ward. j. A. Jones, f.
N. KEELING and A. G. Zemanek
were elected as alderman from the
three wards. Oscar Stuart as
treasurer, Otto Sharon as clerk,
Louis Detterman as assessor, w.
A. Schwitchenburg police justice
and B. L. McNally as justice of
peace. Kadoka can justly feel
proud of the newly elected officers
and with the solid support of the
men who elected them, great things
can be looked for in the future.

BY the number of blowing out

which are continually passing on

would not take so very long to
turn over all the land in the coun-
try in South Dakota west of the
Missouri river. But there is a
good deal of it to turn over. A
drive over the country to the north

prairie by far than cultivated land.

Frank H. Kinney stopped off for
a short visit with his many Fort
Pierre friends Saturday while re-
turning from a trip to Aberdeen.
Glenn w. Martens was over
from Pierre Wednesday in the in
terest of James E. Griffen, whose
hearing was on for illegal voting.
Marty seems to be the only wet
attorney left on either side of the
river, and he has consequently fal-
len heir to Buck Thayer's clientele.
Jim Griffen was arrested Tues
day for illegal voting at the city
election. His hearing was held
before Judge Dinsmore at the
court house and took nearly all
day VI ednesday, a number of wit
nesses being examined for the state,
but the defense introducing no tes-
timony. He voted in Tammany
and Judge Dinsmore, who sat as a
committing magistrate, was con-
vinced that there was enough evi-
dence to show that crime had
been committed, therefore bound
the defendent over to the next
term Of court. Claude Baker was
arrested on similar charge, but
his hearing was continued until
Friday April, 20, at 9 o'clock.
County politics have been OBJ
scured in the numerous towns of the
county for the past couple of weeks
on account Of local issues in the mu-
nicipal elections. Candidates on
the various tickets have not been
making much stir but we may
look for something doing from this
on. The republican candidates
for the various offices so far as we
have learned are as follows:
Circuit Judge,
John F. Hughes, Fort Pierr e
Lyman T. Boucher, Pierre.
State Senator,
John G.. Bartine, Oacoma.

On the democratic side the only

EVENTS AND WINNERS IN AMATEUR ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.-His-
tory was made in the annual ANA
teur Athletic union senior and
junior championships here despite
adverse conditions.
The heat was intense during the
two days meet and the competitors
from the north and northwest suf-
fered, some losing eight and 10
pounds.
Then, too, the track, owing to.
heavy rains, was loggy and the time
recorded in most of the events was
remarkable, under the conditions.
One of the big surprises was the
defeat of Mel Sheppard. holder of
numerous records, by young Gis-
sing, in the half mile. The young
ster passed the veteran the last few
yards, Shep having been run
squarely off his feet. One of the
prettiest jumps ever witnessed at
an A. A. U. meet was that of e. E.
Stevens In the junior event, shown
in the photograph clearing the bar
all speed OUT at five feet nine
inches. Bob Eller was the low
hurdles after a slashing race in
26 2-5 seconds; not fast time, but
wonderful on the soggy ground.
But the big surprise was the per-
formance of youngster-Gwin

the meet that he could do 100 yards
