COMMISSION PLAN
At Mitchell Said to Be Influenced BY
Telephone Company.

Mitchell, Sept. 19.-While there
has been little said on the outside
about the basic reasons for the agita-
ton started here for the commission
form of government, local citizens
understand quite well that the at
tempt of the present city officials to
bring the Dakota Central Telephone
company to terms Is the principal ele-
ment in the case. A considerable
amount of feeling is being injected
into the contest.
On an untrammeled issue the ma
jority of Mitchell citizens would be
strong for the commission plan, but
there are a large number who will
balk on allowing this issue to be used
as a mere pretext to discredit the
present city officials.
The Dakota Central Telephone
company attempted to enforce a
heavy raise In service rates here

OLDEST MAN IN STATE
Lars TysdaIe of Lead Celebrates
1O5th Birthday Anniversary.

Lead. Sept. 19.-This city claims
the distinction of having the oldest
living man in the northwest, and
probably one of the oldest in the
country. He is Lars Tysdale, who
has just celebrated his 105th birth
day. Family records and other doc
uments in his possession indisputably
prove his age. and his memory of in
innate events just a few years after
the war of 1912 are vivid.
Mr.. Tysdale, who Is still as hale as
many men of forty years his junior,
has full possession of his senses,
makes his owl bed, chops wood al
most daily and does many chores
around the home OF his daughter,
Mrs. w. w. Taylor, where for years
he had made his home. A Norwegian
by birth, he has spent many years
In this country and now considers
himself an American. He has a
strong dislike for publicity and for
years has steadily refused every in
ducement to sit for a photograph or
permit himself to be snapped by the
camera, and local photographers long
ago gave him up as q hopeless task.

election permits and putting the in
itiative for locality expressions on
the antisaloon forces. 1t was initial
ed by the saloon interests.
2. Is a primary law initiated by
the state democratic organization, but
generally regarded as a very desir-
able substitute for the present Rich
ards primary law. It's adoption
would automatically repeal the Rich
ards law. This initiated measure does
away with party declarations. All of
the party ballots are printed on one
sheet and the voters, on going to the
booth, can take his choice. He is
prevented from voting a mixed ticket
by a provision hat markings on more
than one party ticket i~nvalidates the

3. This is a measure put through
at the last legislative session by Alb
erdeen interests, and referred by op-
opposition to 1t in the legislature,
but the Brown county forces made a
social fight for 1t, and won. 1t is
claimed by opponents of the law that
il practically makes a second state
university out of the Aberdeen nor
NAL. A negative vote on this meas
ure will leave the normal school con-
ditions as at present.
The third special BALLOT, as stated,
will contain only one proposal-that
of calling a convention to amend the
state constitution. Opponents of this
measure claim that the principal pro-
moters of this convention are infiu-
enced by desire to raise salaries of
state officers. This question aside, it
must be conceded that a properly dis
posed convention could perform a
great service in shaping the state
constitution to present day needs.

a visit to Kimball by a man named
O'Brien, who is the owner of a bull
dog with a long fighting record. He
offered to bet $50 that his bull dog
could whip any animal of its same
breed in Kimball. A Kimball man,
who is the owner of a bull dog which
he believes Is the greatest fighter in
the state or northwest, covered the
bet. 1t is probable the authorities
will step in and prevent the spec
tacle.
Custer-Entering a plea of guilty
to the charge of obtaining property
under false ~pretenses, James Thomp-
son, a Custer county rancher, was
sentenced in the state circuit court of
Custer county to a term of six months
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. His
crime consisted of giving a chattel
mortgage on two head of horses
which he did not own for the purpose
of securing a sum of money. After
securing the money he attempted to
make his way put of the country, but
was captured before he could leave
the Black Hills. Complaint in the
case was made by Edwin Swanger,
another Custer county rancher.
Thompson already has been placed in
the penitentiary.

field committed suicide by drinking a
mixture of strychnine and whisky.
He had offered a neighbor named
Smith a drink from the bottle on
Monday, and after taking the drink
Smith became violently i'll. A doctor
was SEN for, who pronounced 1t a
case of strychnine poisoning. When
Mack was accused Of trying to poison
Smith he became very angry and went
home and drank the remainder of the
contents of the bottle, dying shortly
afterwards. 1t is believed Mr.. Mack's
mind was unbalanced, as he had
brooded considerably over the death
of his wife. which occurred about a
year ago.

S. D.. BALLOTS
VOTERS WILL NEED TO STUDY
THEIR LESSON BEFORE
VOTING.

Pierre, Sept. 19.-The special
propositions TO be submitted to
South Dakota voters at the election
on November 8, in addition to the
election of officials, will be twelve i'm
number, printed on three separate
ballots. These special measures will
be identified by numbers and alb
breviated titles, making 1t quite adj
visable for voters to post themselves
In advance. In many cases a reading
of the complete measures, to be pub
lfshed In county newspapers, will give
inadequate information without some
additional research.
One of these special ballots will
contain eight proposed amendments
to the state constitution. Another
amendment question, that of calling
a constitutional convention, is sub
mitted on a separate ballot. The
third ballot contains three referred
laws.
The eight proposals on the consti-
tutional ballot, with their official
numbers, are as follows:
1. The question of woman suf-
frage.
2. Question of reducing interest
on school land payments from 6 to 5
per cent.
g.. Rewording of an existing law
SO as to abolish the present two-term
limit for county school superintend-
ents.
A. Proposal to raise the present
petition limit of s per cent on initia-
tive, referendum and recall. 1t is
|r1aimad that avporjopna hos .b,wrr
these limits should be raised to pre-
vent petty manipulations.
S. This number provides for a
state board of control, of three mem
bers, to have jurisdiction over the
states educational and other institu-
lions, and eliminates the board of re-
gents, now fixed by constitution.
s. Changes legislative terms of
four years, half of the membership
being elected every two years.
4. Authorizes the legislature to
provide of ~disposing of SUI
preme court cases, in which regular
members of the court are parties to
matters at issue.
8. Allows the creation of irriga-
tion districts, similar i'm effect to the
general system of creating drainage
districts. While this is Of
special interest only to the northwest
ern part of the state. the enabling
amendment must be adopted by the
state as a whole.
The three propositions for decision
on the referred ballot are as follows:
