THE DIRECT VOTE.

Albany, New York, Des Mones Iowa and
Denver are elegant examples of the indaquacy
of the present system Of the election Of United
States senator's In each state there have been
deadlocks caused by the rivalry of ambitious
men who seek seats in the higher house of the
national government With the direct vote for
senators such conditions would become impos-
sible and incidentally the choice of the people
would represent the people.

has known. He is strongly opposed to
divorce as to the curtailng of the His
views will fail to harmonic with those of the
money-hungry horde of merchants who fatten
off the marital derelicts
1t is to be hoped that the colonel peppers
this fester-spot of Nevada and brings home to
the Renoites the fact that "Renoitis' is a
plague which today afflcts the body polite Of

the gang which failed in its duty when it

even more liberal laws governing divorce.

ANcEs SHOW LOW MIscEL.
LANEoUS FUNDS.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital CITY, the Various
State Institutions and Dif.
ferent Parts Of the
State.

Pierre.-The total balance in all
funds of. the state treasury, as shown
by the statement of that department
for the month Of May, is $~S34,38S.16,
a decrease of about $4,000 from the
balance for the preceding month. The
general fund shows a balance of $751;
1892, which will be increased during
June by the tax collections for the sec
ond quarter, which should amount to
about 100000. The most of the mis-
cellaneous funds in the treasury are
very low, with the exception of the in
terest and income fund of the common
schools, which have not yet been ap-
portioned. The permanent school fund
Is nearly all loaned out, the balance
at the present time being only a trifle
over 1 1000. The balance in the game
fund is $~19.126.05, after paying for the
consignment of Chinese pheasants
which are being distributed by the
game department.

Hydrophobia Kills.

Aberdeen.-Mrs. C. Hardtke, whose
home is four miles southwest of this
city, died at her home of hydrophobia.
Mrs. Hardtke received the injury
which caused her death when she dis
covered a neighbor's dog killing the
chickens in the farm yard. She picked
up a stick and attempted to frighten
the animal away, but he sprang at her,
tearing the flesh on her forehead. The
wound was a small one. causing little
pain, SO no attention was paid it and it
appeared to be healed. The latter
part of the week, however, she suffer-
ed from violent pains in her head, and
drove to Aberdeen and was attended
by DR.. Farrell. The delay in seeking
treatment until definite symptoms of
rabies appeared made the case a hope
less one before a physician was call
ed, and that afternoon she became
violent, continuing to have attacks Of
the terrible mania which marks the
disease until her death occurred.

Seeks an Inquiry.

WashingtOn.-In a communication
received by Representative Burke, T.
c. Burns, register of the land office at
Gregory, S. D., asks that an ~investiga-
ton be made of the charges of George
Silsbee, the Minnesota soldier, who in
a letter recently forwarded to Repre-
sentative Davis made statements re-
flecting on the administration of Reg
lister Burns and Land Commissioner
bennett. Silsbee charged in substance
that he had been defrauded out Of a
claim on Trip county land in South
Dakota.
Register Burns comes back with a
charge that Silsbee was used as a
eats paw" by land vultures, and he
asks that the case be placed in the
hands of an inspector with instructions
to make a thorough investigation.
Representative Burke has called the
matter to the attention of Commits
sioner bennett, and an inquiry will
doubtless be made as demanded by the
Gregory register.

Murder and Suicide.

Sioux Falls.-Jealousy and anger
were the cause of a double killing in
this city when Herman Piepho, a well
known journeyman tailor, shot and
killed his mother-in-law. supposed he
had killed his wife, and then fired a
shot into his own brain, killing him
self instantly.
Mrs. Piepho, who has been separat-
ed from her husband for some time,
and who recently secured a divorce
from him, accompanied by her mother.
Mrs. johnson, was on the way to the
Omaha depot to take the train for st.
Paul. They were confronted by the
jealousy-crazed husband who after a
few words of excited conversation,
which was not heard distinctly enough
by passersby to be understood, whip
ped out a 38-caliber bulldog revolver
and fred point blank at his wife,
Luckily the bullet went wide Of the
mark. Mrs. Piepho tainted and fell to
the ground and Piepho. thinking that
he had killed her turned the revolver
on his mother-in-law, sending a bullet
crashing through her brain. He then
turned the revolver on himself firing
another bullet into his own brain. All
this was done 70 rapidly that passers'
by were unable to interfere.

She Is Supported by the Toll Of 9th.
ers, Who Acquiesce CheerfulIy
to the Condition.
Economically the lady is supported
by the toll Of others, but while this is
equally true of other classes of socie-
ty. the oddly of her case consists Of
the ~acquiescence of those most con
cerned. The lady herself feels no un.
easiness in her eQuivocal situation,
and the toilers who support her do so
with enthusiasm. She is not a pro-
Queer; in most communities produc-
tive labor Is by consent unladylike.
On the other hand, she is the heaviest
Of consumers.
The women of the working classes
have been saved by their work itself.
In the shop and the factory they have
learned what the nursery can teach.
But the lady has had no social train
ing whatever; the noticeable weak
ness of her play at bridge is a tenden-
cy to work for her own hand. AS the
gentlemen decays, the lady survives
as the strongest evidence of his for.
mer predominance. Where he set her,
there she stays. One after another
the fabrics that supported her have
tottered, but she remains adapting
herself to each new set of circum-
stances as it arises. 1t is possible
that an advancing social sentiment
will e%xtinguish her altogether, but she
can never be forgotten.

Aberdeen.-Thirty years ago six
men now numbered among the best
known citizens Of Aberdeen drove to
the little spot on the prairie which has
since developed into the metropolis OF
the Dakotas, and, with 60 or 20 others
made this the terminus of a long jour-
ney.
Those in the party were Frank and
Henry Beard, John and David gilbert,
Murray Widdis and John Wesley Col.
Inns. All of them started early In the
spring of 1881 from Bruce county, On
tario, and spent a couple of months
in Cass county, North Dakota. Then
the first of June, that year. they form
ed a part of the long wagon train
which came south to this section, and
the six settled land in the vicinity of
Aberdeen and have been closely con
nected with the growth of this city
eve since. 1t was a drive of 100 miles
and was covered in six days. On ar
irving at Aberdeen, where the railroad
had not yet reached It that time. there
were but two sod shanties to be seen,
and it required wonderful imagination
to picture what the next three decades
had In store for the little settlement
IN the prairies.

where the baby was sleeping, when it
exploded, the bullet striking the child
in the leg above the knee. The ball
crushed through the bone and up

Many Applicants Fail.

Pierre.-The applicants for certifi-
cate in the last teachers examination
for second and third grades made a
poor showing. only about 40 per cent
securing certificates which they
sought, and the majority of them will
have to try again if they get into the
list of teachers in this state. There
was a total Of 979 sets of papers sent
in for marking, II Of these being for
primary certificates; $40 for second
grades and 143 for third grades. Out
of this list ten were granted primary
certificates, 22S second grades and 161
third grades, some of the second grade
applicants being given third grade
certificates on the showing of their
papers in trying for the higher grade.
The failures numbered $50.

Commercial Clubs,

Sioux Falls.-The meeting in this
city of the State Federation of Com.

most important action at the meeting
was the appointment of a committee
to perfect a reorganization of the state

a report at another meeting which
will be held at Huron during the state
fair in September.
The object of the organization IL
to place the state federation in a po-

suffering from gangrene of the foot,
Willis T. Potter, an early day resi-.

most active Masons in this section,

To Reduce Saloons.

Aberdeen at present possesses oven
40 salons, although the last federal
census gave the city a population OF
but 1878. The licenses of the saloon
men all expire July /, and applicants
for renewal have been made by most
of them. At the last meeting of the
city commissioners the petitions OF
five saloonkeepers-George Dietlein.
Louis Pouliot, George L. Cease, e. o.
Cooley and John p. Knight-were re.
jected, and those of :S others who ap.
piled for licenses were laid over until
the next meeting Of the commission.
The rejection of the five petitions is
taken to mean that the commissioners
have concluded to reduce the number
of saloons, but just how many will be
Topped on is not known.

Pierre.-Hughes is one of the first,
or first, county of the state to take ad-
vantage of the provisions of chapter
246 OF the laws of the last session.
That act authorizes counties to take
tax deeds on tracts bid in by the coun-
ty on tax sales, and to transfer the
same in the same ann in which an
individual may make a transfer of

is advertising a number OF tracts held
