NOMINATION
THEN WENT INSANE
l.. H. KING, OF LYMAN. CANDI-
DATE FOR NOMINATION FOR
TREASURER. LOST-WENT
INSANE.

A peculiar and unfortunate Incl
dent occurred as the result of the
primary election held in Lyman
county last month, in that l.. H.
King. living north of Presho. became
insane because of his defeat in the
election. He was a candidate for
county treasurer and spent a great
deal of his time and money in travel
ing over the large county in his
efforts to secure the nomination. He
was defeated. which so prcyeds on
his mind, and the fact that he sper;
about $500 in expenses. that he final
ly went insane. He went to Presho
last Monday and acted so strangely
and said such queer things. that the
authorities thought it best to make an
investigation. with the result that ne
was ordered to be placed in the
asylum. Mr.. King is said to have
had some trouble with his neighbors.
and this is believed to be one of the
contributory causes for his demented
condition.
Mr.. Kings father was out at his
home at the time, and rather than
let his o be placed in an insane
asylum he agreed to take him home
to Perry, Iowa, and try and effect a
cure. Last night the father and son
passed through the city, and while
they were waiting for the train to
pull out the son became unmanage-
able and was quite violent, enough so
hat the conductor of the passenger
train declined to permit the insane
la to board the train unless he was
manacled. A pair of handouts was
secured from the police department,
and King was made as safe as pos
sible under the circumstances.

RECOGNIZE TAX NOW
As BEING A FARCE
ATTORNEY FOR EXPRESS COM.
PANlES WILLING TO PAY 2
PER CENT OF EARNINGS
BUT STATE ASKS z
PER CENT.

Pierre. S. DIN making a plea
for a compromise of the tax cases
pending in which the different ex-
press companies are fighting the pay
ment of taxes in this state, Attorney
Bailey for the companies while de-
claring that under a strict construc-
ton of the law, no assessment other
than a tangible property of the COM
panies could be made in this state,
also admitted hat such an assess
ment is a farce. He said that while
under the constitution no earnings
tax could be made in this state, the
companies would be willing to settle
back taxes and continue from this
time, on a basis of two per cent of
the gross earnings in the state. He
said they paid -four per cent in Min
nesota, but on account of the great
er volume of business could afford
so to do. The assessment board
made a counter proposition to settle
on a basis of three per cent, and that
is pending.

the building also was unsuccessful
through the timely arrival of the
tire-fighters. The latest fire was be-
tween the ceiling and the roof, an
unusual place for a tirebug to start
a fire, but it is believed this place
was selected in order to yard off
suspicion and to better cover the
tracks of the incendiary. The build

out a gerat deal of damage being
done, the roo to the extent of about
forty feet and some of the ceiling
being damaged, the latter by water.

of a solid row of frame buildings, and
had a strong wind been blowing at

WORLDS LARGEST DRY DOCK

Ottawa, Ont.-The last proposals
for what will be the largest dry
dock in the world are being received
by the government here today. The
government will not build the dock
itself, but the company or firm whose
bid is accepted will be in line for a
subsidy of 3R per cen for 35 years
on $4,000. 900. The dock is to be
built either on the ST. Charles river,
the Beaupont Flats or at st. Joseph
de Lewis, and the proposals must cite
the relative advantages of each site.
The dock will be 1,15O feet long. 1877
feet wide and 81 feet deep. The next
largest in the world in respect to
length is at st. Petersburg, while the
Liverpool dock is the widest SO far,
