Tuesdays Sioux Falls Press says:
e. c. Olson of ~Brookings, who has
a string of eight different clothing
stores in the various Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota towns, was
in the city yesterday and with Charles
Delaney and Carl Berdahl closed the
deal for the lease of the building
formerly occupied by the Vreeland
Clothing store. The present occupant
the 18th of next month, and the new
firm expects to take possession and
open their store on March /.
Mr.. Olson has associated with him
Charles Delaney, who is now most IA
yorably known by nearly every one
in this city. Mr.. Delaney was former
ly connected with the BuXbaum Cloth
ing company, where he has been some
thing like eighteen years. He has had
great eXperienc in the clothing bust
ness and has a host of friends who
wish him we'll in his new enterprise.
Carl Berdahl is another popular
young Sioux Falls business man. He
has been with T. J. Fosdick & Son
for a number Of years, and is most
fayorably known in this city and sur
rounding country.
The firm name of the company will
be Olson, Delaney & Berdahl, and
Delaney and Berdahl will have active
management of the store.
M. G. Olson, a brother to E. c. Oh
son, is the buyer for the entire string
of stores and spends most of his time
in Chicago and other eastern points.
Mr.. e. c. Olson is the general man
ager for the stores and expects to
spend considerable of his time in Sioux
Falls. The same idea which has made
such splendid successes of his other
stores, will be carried out here.
'Mr. Olson left last night for St.
Paul and other eastern points and
Messrs. Delaney and Berdahl will fol.
low a week later"

II the men We have heard talk about
it express the general sentiment of the
average voter there will be no attempt
by the coming legislature to do away
with the initiative and referendum.
That has some in this state to stay. 1t
Is true that the cost of the last cleo
ton, because of a lot of fool laws
passed by the last legislature, was
enormous, but about half the cost was
due to n law, the militia law. The
referendum laws and proposed consti-
tutional amendments have been pub
lished and placed on the ballots for
several previous elections-ever since
we had the referendum-and nothing
thought about 1t or said about 1t. 1t
Is far from likely that there will ever
be again such a mess of them to pub
fish or to make the ballots as big
as the side Of a house.-Kimball

of the Badger state for $40, 600 for ad
yertising purposes. 1t is the purpose
Of the members of the association to
duplicate the appropriation out of pri-
vate subscriptions. 1t is understood
that half of the money will be used
for exhibitions at fairs and the other
half for newspaper advertising. That
Wisconsin's progressiveness is not
limited to political or governmental
matters is seen in the step that she
viii take in advertising her sources.
And if Wisconsin needs advertising,
surely South Dakota, which is still
known in the east as the state of
winter billiards and summer drouths,
needs it worse. If, while they are at
tempting to do away with some Of
the unnecessary state offices the legis-
lators would vote to turn the money
so saved into an advertising fund
there would be such an advance in
this state as we have never expert
enced in the past, marked though our
growth has been.-Press and Da-

POSTAL CLERKS WILL QUIT.

A dispatch from Tracy to the Min
neapolis Journal, under date of Sun
day, says:
Eighteen postal clerks on the Tracy
and Pierre, Pierre and Rapid City and
Brookings and Pierre divisions on the
Chicago & Northwestern road have
struck against the orders of the second
assistant postmaster general that
whenever vacancies occur on the line
over which they are routed such va
cancies shall be kept up by the reg.
ular clerks until the department makes
appointments.
All the clerks on the divisions men
toned have refused to comply with
the order. Ten Of them are In confer
ence here today with w. II. Denniston
of Aberdeen, S. d., chief clerk of this
postal division. They refuse to re
cede from the position they have
taken. and it is regarded as settled
that they and their eight colleagues on
the divisions in question will be dis
missed from the service.
The vacancy in question is on the
run from Tracy to Huron, and return.
The mail train from the west and the
one from the east meet at Tracy at
2:30 a. m. The eighteen clerks con
tend that to maintain this run with
out an additional quota of men will
cause them a loss of 5000 each in a
year. Some of the clerks live in
Tracy and some in Huron, and others
at various points along the route.
They will stand as one man against
the order, which they regard as I'M
just and arbitrary.
The clerks assert that they are
worked hard at all hours of the
twenty-four to keep up their regular
runs, without attempting to fill va
cancies. Because of the extra time re-
CURED of them the mail service along
the Northwestern in this section is de

quently carried by stations and not de-
livered for a day or so after it is due.
The clerks admit that the situation
is annoying to the public, but declare
that the blame rests upon the govern
ment department and it's parsimony.

An attack on the Sunday law is go
ing to be made in the Legislature in
so far as it pertains to baseball. But
upon what legal OF moral ground can
a Sunday law forbid theatres and ac-
cept baseball? Or is it proposed only
to forbid what the other fellow likes
and to make proper what We happen
to enjoy? A wise move would be to
have the whole question of legislation
on the subject of Sunday entertain
ment submitted to a vote of the PEG
pie, now that a trial has been given
to the present law. We suspect, how
ever. that the present law will remain
as it is.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

Cast Aside" the new play by L.. b.
Parker from a subject suggested by
Chas. X. Harris song, is a lesson
play, dealing directly with the most
common evil, viz: divorce, martial in
fidelity in the sex problems. These
subjects are handled in a masterful
manner and the lessons are impress
siye and good cannot help but follow.
Although Mr.. Parker's play deals with
three great subjects and carries a
great truth, his ann of telling his
story is one that proves most enter
tanning, IN fact his truths are rammed
home to the une Of humor rather
than tears. Here January %.
One of the most horrible accidents
that has ever happened in this local
ity occurred at the home of Claus
Hoodjer southeast of town on Christ
mas day. Dan Wiechert, an old man
of s~iXty-siX years of age, an uncle of
Mr.. HoOdjer, lives with him and the
old gentleman went to the barn that
morning and just as he reached the
door OF the barn the hired man heaved
a fork full of manure outside and the
old gentleman was struck with the
fork, one tine of which entered his
left eye and pierced the brain. He
was carried into the house and was
thought to be instantly killed but
upon examination by a doctor from
White it was fourd that he was still
alive but paralyzed. 1t was thought
that he could no. live but AS W. go
to press this week he is still alive
and it is now IT, ught that he will
recover.-Toronto Herald.

The governor in his message makes
one suggestion which the legislature
should have no hesitancy in following.
We refer to the suggestion about a
suitable home for the chief executive
of the state. 1t is not right that the
governor, whose term Of office is short
at the longest, and uncertain at best,
should bo required to go house hunt
ing and house furnishing when he is
chosen the chief executive of a great
state. Further the salary paid the
executive, taking into consideration
the demands OF his office, is a bread
and butter salary, and leaves no sur
plus for house hire and furnishings.
The legislature should appropriate for
an executive mansion with suitable
furnishings and do now.-Pierre Da-

With each part played in a very
capable manner, a compact and cred

play, Cast Aside" was given at the
Imperial theatre Sunday. The play is
founded ON Charles X. Harris SONG of

with the modern problem Of divorce.

1t is to be hoped that the legisla-
tor will give heed Of Gov. Vessey's
recommendation for d state publicity
bureau. In this day and age no insti-
tuition can grow and prosper without
a proper amount of publicity, and this
applies to a state as we'll as a groc-

Dakota as a good example for us to
follow. Our sister state has a we'll

nearly twice as much as this state.

According to an exchange the Swiss
government is about to extend an
invitation TO all governments to send
representatives to a conference to dis
cuss the proposition TO reform the cal
endar, so as to divide the year into
thirteen months of twenty-eight days
eoch, with a New Years day one by
itself without beginning in any month
and without being n of the days of
the week. One of the things that rec
ommends the change is the conven-
fence of having every month begin
