STATE AND COUNTY POLITICS

The usual interest OF excitement
about party politics is entirely absent
this year, Notwithstanding the fact
| that election is only a full month
| away. The contest in this state is
| over a full set of state officials be-
| little more careful about the eggs he
non-partisan league parties. Repub-
licans have a considerable majority in
the state, and will probably elect the
whole ticket, although the leaguers
have endorsed some Of the democratic
candidates, and will make an effort
to elect them.
In the county the republicans have
a full ticket with exception OF Audi
tor and Clerk OF Courts. The demo-
Gratis have a complete ticket with the
exception of States Attorney, County
Judge, and four commissioners.
The non-partisan league nominated
an old democratic leader for State
Senator, and endorsed the democra-
tic candidate for Representative. and
will, of course, try to have their mem
bers vote for the democratic county
candidates. This, however, is a diff
fcult undertaking in county politics,
because the voters Of Hand County
have always been very independent
in voting for local candidates, so
much SO that during t~hirty-six years
of county existence no party has ever
elected a complete ticket at n cleo
tion.
Present political conditions are
considered very abnormal, and ever
those familiar with the game are at
a loss to read the signs of the times,
on account of the war, and perhaps
the new element of the non-partisan
league, but the average party man
expects the party voting will change
very little from previous contests.
II his opinion is correct, South Da-
kota will elect the republican state
ticket, and the county election will
depend largely upon the personal ef-
forts of the county candidates.

Wednesday, Oct. End, at the home OF
her son, Donald 8. Beals. St. Law
renee, s. d., Mrs Anna Wilson Beals,
wife OF Serene C. BeaIs, peacefully
passed away, after a brief illness OF
pneumonia. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Simons, pastor of
Miller Presbyterian church Friday
afternoon at one o'clock at the house
and at three o'clock at the Presbyter-
ian church in St. Lawrence.
Her son Carl r. Beals and daughter
Leila Beals accompanied the remains
to Polk City, Iowa, where she will be
laid to rest in the old home cemetery,
Sunday afternoon, October 9th Her
two other children, Donald and Edith
remained at home with their father
who is not able to make the trip to
Iowa.
Anna Wilson Beals was born Octo-
Der 10th, 1S43 in Delaware Co., Ohio.
At the age of thirteen, she removed
overland to Iowa with her parents.
At a very early age, she dedicated
her life to Christ and united with the
church, always living a consistent,
Christian life. During the years of
the Civil War she faithfully served her
country as a nurse in the army hos
pital at Keokuk, Iowa.
December 14th 1866, she became
united in marriage with Serene C.
Beals at Polk City, Iowa To this
union were born eleven children,
four of whom, Leila, Carl, Edith and
Donald are still living. In 1911 she,
with her husband, removed to st.
Lawrence, S. d. where they have since
made their home with their children
Donald, Leila and Edith and neat
son Carl and family who lived in Mil
Ter, S. ID.
We thank all our friends and neigh
bors who so loyalty helped us in our
hour of sorrow.
