to beat and life apparently was ex-
tinct while under the influence of
ether on an operating table in st. Jo-
seph's hospital here, the young son
of T. j. Morgans. secretary of the
Mitchell Commercial club, was resus-
citated and reported to be in good
condition. The boy had just gone
under" the anesthetic when he choked
and life apparently left the body. The
two surgeons present dropped their in
struments. One grabbed the boy by
the feet and the other started res
piration by blowing into the mouth.
In a short time the boy vomited vio-
lently and began to breathe. Ether
was administered again and the opera
ton concluded.

known nationally among theatrical
people and travellers as Daddy
Dick died at his home here. For
many years he kept a unique restau-
rant here, which was frequented by
show people, and many famous actors
and actresses were among his init
mate friends. He was at one time a
member of the board of city commits
sioners. Mr.. Dickinson had not worn
a hat for a quarter of a century, and
he affected the dress of the Siberian
peasant. He was a student of mystic
cults and a worshiper of the sun. His
quaint costume, flowing white hair and
unusual ideas attracted strangers who
visited his restaurant and they sought
his acquaintance. He came to Sioux
Falls from England thirty years ago
as a baker.

Pierre.-That order of filing, initial
letter, nor no other provision except
the individual desires of the county
auditors of the state can have any
effect upon the arrangement of the bal
lots at the primary election is the
holding of the state legal department
on inquiry from Meade county. The
holding is that when the Richards law
was adopted, the act which required
rotation OF names of candidates was
repealed, and the only law left upon
the subject is the section of the gen
eral election law which requires the
county auditor to make up the ballots
from the names filed with him, and
those certified to him by the secre-
tary of state. This ruling gives each
individual auditor the right to shape
up either the list of state candidates
or those from his county as his indi-
vidual fancy dictates, and in counties
where the auditors are second term
ers" or candidates for reelection, if
they follow their views as expressed
at the time of their meeting here, the
different candidates for county and
state offices who are asking renomi-
nation, will be given the head of the
