Memorial to Nittredue.

Sioux Falls.-As the result of a meet
ing held in Sioux Falls by a number
of the admirers of the late eX-United
States Senator Kittredge it has been
determined to have a life sized por-
trait of the ex-senator painted as a
memorial to him. Funds for the pur-
pose already have been contributed by
his friends here and elsewhere in the
state. The matter of selecting the ar
fist who should paint the portrait was
left to Congressman Burke. and imme-
diately after his return to Washington
during the closing days of November
he will award the contract to some ar
fist of established reputation. 1t is
thought the portrait will cost about
$500. When the painting is completed
it will be sent direct to Sioux Falls and
after being placed on exhibition here
for a time it will be forwarded to
Pierre and given permanent place in
the new state capitol building.

old man. The man also sued, and SO
large were the damages awarded him
by a generous jury hat poor Brown
found himself actually on the verge
Of ruin.

Herd Law Question.

Pierre.-The carrying of the "herd
law" of the last session to the people
for a vote at the next general election
In November, 1912, appears to be one
Of the least understood propositions
before the people of the western half
of the state. Different parties are con-
STRUNG the law to suit their W con-
venience, and there is constant clash
over the situation. To sum up the sit
uation as it stands in fact, the carrying
of the law of last winter to the people
for a vote by the referendum leaves
the conditions just as they have been
for years so far as the workings Of the
law are concerned. The only change
is that the whole question has been put
up to the people of the state for their
vote at the next general election, and if
they approve the law, then, and not
until then. will the law wiping out free
range privileges become effective.
