CAN'T LOCATE BELCIANS
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Pierre, S. D.-There is consider
able discussion over the state as to
the advisability of this state at
tempting to secure Belgian immi-
grants to help build up the farming
opportunities of the northwest. and
the discussion is general over the
northwest. immigration Commission
er McCaffree has investigated the
possibilities along this line and finds
two or three obstacles in the way.
The Belgian government is opposed
as it declares all able bodied bel
gians left will be required to. rebuild
their w country, at the end OF the
a Next, most Of the Belgians
who would be willing to come to this
country are absolutely without any
means of either coming over or es-
tablishing themselves il they should
arrive, and as the state could not
furnish them with the means of livli-
hood until they did establish them
selves, that door is not very wide
open. The only way open is for
private donations to bring the immi-
grants to this country and maintain
them until they can care for them
selves, and unless some organized
effort is made in this direction, very
little can be looked for in the way of
Belgian immigration to South Da-
kota, or any othe. of the northwest
ern states.

DESERTER NOW
is WIFE BEATER
CHARLES o. BOWERS, WHO
BROKE JAIL At MARION
JUNCTION, IN AGAIN.

Charles o. Bowers, alias Bauer,
who got into the limelight two
months ago by deserving his wife in
Mitchell and then breaking out of Jail
after his arrest at Marion Junction
s. D., was taken in custody again
last evening because of family
troubles.
After Bowers had escaped from
the Jail at Marion Junction, he reap
peared in Mitchell, but was freed up

cute him. He has been living with
her since that time, but early last
evening is alleged to have struck her
several times. The police were call
ed to the residnce at 915 East Sixth
avenue.
The charge placed against the
prisoner is that of disturbing the
peace, but a more serious one will be
made if the wife will sign the com
plant. Mrs. Bowers is not we'll at
the present time and the alleged as
sault may have serious consequences.
Judge w. NJ. Herbert placed the
prisoner under 800 bonds, which
were not furnished.

COURT CLERKS
TO MEET SOON
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS COMING
UP AT MITCHELL SESSION
ON DECEMBER 10.

Clerks of the circuit courts of the
counties in South Dakota have been
called to meet in Mitchell on Deem
Der is, when matters to be brought
before the legislature will be brought
up. The call for the meeting has
been issued by John d. Stemler, OF
Plankinton, clerk of court for Aur-
ora county.
Fifteen out of GO clerks addressed
by Mr.. Stemler declared in favor of
holding the meeting in Mitchell, in
preference to any other city in the
state. 1t is believed that the attend
ance will be representative and that
the clerks will gain something from
their meeting.
1t is hoped by the clerks to have
the coming legislature take action
whereby a more uniform basis Of
salary may be obtained. Under the
present system, the clerks are paid
by their fees, which i'm some counties
amounts 10 verv little. The plan is
to have the legislature stipulate asal-
airy which would be paid in case the
fees do not aggregate a certain
amount.

Official Canvas Shows
But One of Twelve
Carries Vote.
|BYRNE BY 1856
Caldwell for Attorney Cen
eral Heads the Republican
Candidates.

Pierre, S. D.-Only one, instead
of two, of the twelve referred meas
ures and questions submitted at the
November election were approved
by the voters, as shown by the Off
cial canvass just completed here by
the state board. The only m to
be adopted was a proposed change
in the constitution to moderate the
interest charges on deferred pay
ments on school land purchased
from the state. 1t was thought that
the amendment to permit the SUI
preme court to call in outside judges
for cases in which any members of
the court were personally interested
or involved, had also passed. But
the official count shows it raj de-
feated by the small margin of 226
votes.
The largest adverse majority is
that cast against the law to allow
the Northern Normal at Aberdeen
to enlarge it's course in spite of the
ruling of the board of regents
against 1t. This was defeated by
nearly $4,000 votes, showing that
the state endorses the position taken
by the regents against two univer-
stiles.
Woman suffrage was defeated by
II, 915 votes, showing a considerable
gain over the vote four years ago.
The state primary system propos-
: ed to take the place of the Richards
law was defeated by 1891 votes.
Among the candidates on the
state ticket, the largest plurality
was scored by Caldwell, republican
candidate for Encouragement, who
won by 2O,424 votes over Bicknell.
The other republican candidates for
the minor state offices won by plur-
alities ranging from $4,000 to 2O,-
900 votes.
On governor, the forecast by The
Republican that Byrne's plurality
would be close to $4,000 votes was
borne out, as the official figures give
him a lead of 1886. Richards poll
ed 9,725 votes as an independent
candidate for governor, therefore
running about as he did in the pri-
mary. The prohibitionists polled
2,O72 votes for governor and the
socialists 1904!
The official vote by counties for
governor and the total votes for
the other state offices and or the
referred laws and amendmnts are
as follows. 4
