RECOUNT DUE
ON ELECTION
SUPREME COURTS DECISION Is
RECEIVED on CONTEST OF
JOHN ALTHEN, JR., AGAIST
CHAS. FOWLER.

That a recount should have been
ordered by Judge Frank B. Smith, in
the contest instituted by John Anthem
Jr., over the election Of Charles Fow-
Ter to the office of county treasurer
last November, is the opinion of the
supreme court III reversing the cir
cult court of Dawson county. The re-
suit of the decision was announced
yesterday in The Republican, the text
arriving this morning.
According to the decision, which
was handed down by Judge G. S.
Whiting. of the South Dakota SUI
prem ecourt, the contestants offered
poll books and ballot boxes with ther
petition that the court should order
the same opened and the ballots
cunted. Objection IA made to this
on the ground that no proper foun3
dation had been laid for the intro
duction of ballot boxes in evidence,
that the ballot boxes had not been de-
livered into the proper hands by the
election judges, that the boxes had
not been locked at all times, tEat
the boxes had not been kept in a Sc
cure place and had not been cared
for in a to keep them above
suspicion in contest case. The SUI
preme court stated that the record
failed to show why the objections
we're sustained.
There was evidence showing that
one OF the ballot boxes had been i'm
properly opened by The county aud

mink this fact, in view OF the ex-
ylanation offered. was sufficient to
have justified the trial court in re-
using a recount of the ballots there

Of the contents of such box, nothing
additional, tending to throw sus-
picion thereon, were disclosed"

Pierre, S. Dan agricultural en-
hibit for South Dakota at the San
Francisco exposition is the final de-
cision of immigration Commissioner
McCaffree, OH the statement of the
exposition commission appointed by
Governor Byrne finally deciding that
it will not be possible for them to
raise funds for a showing. This de-
cision was reached Saturday at a
meeting of the Board of immigration
and the shipment of grain products
for the showing will be made in about
a week. The space for this has been
made possible by the fact that the
state Of Massachusetts finally decid-
ed not to attempt to use all the space
assigned to them, and seventy feet
of wall space in the agricultural
building, near one of the main en-
frances is thus opened up, and this
opportunity will be taken advantage
Of. The exhibit will be composed OF
the showing which a used in the

by corn decorations which will be
placed in position by the decorators
of the Mitchell corn palace. Grains
will be entered in the agricultural

sion to Panama, Neb., where she had

nouncing the death of her sister,
Mrs. John T. Marshall. wife of a

denly expired in the Burlington pahs-
enger station from heart failure.

day afternoon OF last week in the
Presbyterian church at Panama.
Wednesday morning the funeral car
arrived at Lincoln bearing the re-
mains of Mrs. Marshall. accompanied
by q special a containing ove 40
floral pieces from friends over the
state.
Mrs. Marshall, together with her
husabnd, had been a devoted worker
in the Presbyterian church in Pan
amn for owe "a years. She was a
woman OF beautiful Christian char
acter, revealing the sacredness of
life, and the preparedness for death.
As n memorial to her life work, she

dren Of Vermont parentage, but were
valves of Mississippi. The deceased
was a charter member of the Ladies
Legislative league, and during the
