The recent comments on the poor farm report have stirred up the reform ers quite extensively, and they are making efforts to controvert the facts set forth by our Tobin correspondent last week but official figures are hard to dispute. Landlord Millham thinks that the Populist convention will bring fully 1,000 people to town, and is looking out for Mitchell's chances to sfecure the Republican and Democratic gatherings. When it comes to politics Col. Millham is cosmopolitan. Health Officer Daniels has ordered the mud hole near the Milwaukee sta tion drained. He will next devote his attention to the streets and alleys about town, which are in worse than their usual condition by reason of the heavy snows and the early thaw. Aberdeen News: S. T. Greene se cures the Mitchell postmastership, af ter a long fight. Nobody hereabouts has heard of any light. From all accounts Mr. Greene just went down to Washington and helped himself to pie. The first base ball mat^h of the sea son Monday afternoon between the University and town boys resulted in a score of 17 to 15 in favor of the former. But five innings were played but for the first game of the season the boys found this to be a plenty. There will be a return game later. Bargains every day in the week at Ferguson's Cash Bargain Store. Miss Dudley, who has been a mission ary in Japan for 21 years, spent Tuesday evening in town, the guest of Rev. and and Mrs. Bradley.

The Mitchell Steam Laundry has set up two free delivery boxes, one near the postoffice and the other near the First National.

Inquiry into the status of municipal politics develops the fact that Thos. Fullerton is the only candidate in the field for the nomination as Mayor. It may be that Mitchell will stick to her long time custom of finding some man who is willing to sacrifice himself in this position, and then elect him with out opposition.

Mitehell people who have been in Chamberlain recently, say that out good neighbors out on the Missouri are giving currency to the rumor that small pox prevails in Mitchell. This is a mistake as there hasn't been the least suggestion of the disease, unless it be in the general vaccination made necessary by the suggestion of the state board of health. Granite ware at the Cash Bargain Store. A Sioux Falls Press: Sioux Falls will not have a coursing meeting this spring, as enough people here are not interested in that class of sport, at least they would not attend the meetings called to perfect an organization. A kind of local meeting will be given to try and educate some of the people up to this class of amusement, and some of the dogs of this city will run in it. During his recent trip through Iowa Geo. A. Johnston ran across a loud mouthed traveling man from Michigan, who offered to bet $100 that he could name ten square miles in the Wolverine state that had .more wealth than the whole state of South Dakota. George came back at him by offering to bet from $100 up to $500 that there was one square mile in this state which possessed more wealth than any ten square miles in Michigan, and named that part of the Black Hills which includes the Homestake mines.

It has been said that Senator Pettigrew op posed Rowe while Senator Kyle favored him, but it is hardly probable that the former took the trouble to interfere.

Again are we called to chronicle the death of an old and esteemed citizen, Mr. C. McLane. Last Friday morning while he was helping to put a wagon box on the wagon and standing between it and the team, the horses became frightened and ran away, throwing him violently to the ground the wheels passing over the body causing injuries from which he died next day. Dr. Kirkpatrick was in almost constant at tendance until he died and Dr. Crane was up Friday afternoon but all their skill could only in a measure allay the intense suffering he endured. Con sciousness was spared him to the last and a short time before he died he call ed his children to him and bade them goodby, leaving fond messages for the absent daughter who a short time ago went east to visit friends. The funeral was postponed until Tuesday to enable Mrs. Jerdeau to return. Mr. McLane was an old soldier and all the comrades in this vicinity and many from Woonsocket attended the funeral in a body aud the casket was draped in the stars and stripes. The obsequies were conducted by Rev. C. M. Peck of Mitchell, assisted by Rev. Mr. Framer. The remains were follow ed to the cemetery by a very large con course of friends and laid to rest by the side of his wife who died about teven years ago. The children of the Sunday school, of which he was formerly sup erintendent, marched out and placed flowers in the grave. Two daughters, Mrs. Wash Bro&erick and Mrs. Steve Jerdeau and one son. Elmer, are' the near relatives. W. H.

Sherman, the young evangelist of Michigan, who arrived in this city last week, has been conducting revival meetings every evening since at the First Baptist church. The attendance has been very good and there has been an awakening among the members of that church, as well as many of the Christian people of other denominations who have been in attendance, and the leaven is spreading in the community.

At the meeting of the state hoard of health held at Vilas recently, a resolu tion was unanimously adopted recom mending a general vaccination of the people of the state, and particularly of the children of school age.

Narrow Escape of Coopers From a Burning: Factory at West Superior. i: As It Was, Over Dozen Were Iu jured, Some of Them Very Seriously. Second Time the Factory Has Burned Within a Year—Railroad Trestle Saved. WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., March 15.— Fire started in the Doud barrel factory and cocper shop from the dry kiln and completely destroyed the buildings and contents. When the fire started 40 coopers ware at work, and so rapidly did the flames spread that they barely escaped with their lives. A number of them were seriously injured by jumping to the ice 20 feet below. The men at work lost all their clothes except those they wore, and all the money and watches in them. The loss on the build ing and stock will be about (25,000, with insurance of $9,000. This is the second time the shop has burned within the past year, but this time the railroad trestle to the Freeman and Minkcta flour* ing mills was saved, and the mills will continue running day and night, having telegraphed for barrels. Those badly injured were: Philip Y'just, hands and face cut and burned Ted Chappell, injured internally and cut about the face Peter Weiss, ribs broken and head and hands cut C. J. Thompson, both legs broken A. E. Ladd, internally injured and right leg and arm broken and bruised Joseph Schultz, right leg broken. At least a dozen were injured and burned but not seriously and were able to walk to their homes. WEAR SHORT SKIRTS. Another Order Issued to the Chicago Tel* ephone Girls. CHICAGO, March 15.—The local man ager of the main Chicago telephone ex change, who a year ago promulgated an edict that all the girls employed in the Chicago exchanges should uniformly dress in black, has just issued another remarkable ukase, which reads some thing like this: "Hereafter the girls employed in the main office shall wear their skirts so that they will clear the floor by three inches." There were many impromptu indig nation meetings held in the cloak rooms but no protests were offered to the order. "It would be of no use," said one of the girls. "The times are hard and we can better afford to cut off our skirts than to cut off our wages." The manager explains that this new move is to prevent the raising of dust in the office, which settles upon and im pairs the working of the instruments. "The girls walk briskly about," he added, "their skirts sweeping alongthe floor and stirring up the dust. This lodges in the instruments and causes trouble. Our patrons are annoyed and delayed. We have to think of our pat rons you know, as well as of our em ployes." LOOPHOLE IN THE LAW. Possible That the Floyds May Escape on a Technicality, MINNEAPOLIS, March 15.—The Trib une says: It is possible that, after all, the Floyds may escape the clutches of the law. The December term of court was adjourned on Monday by Judge Hicks without consultation with the other judges, and was thus closed be fore its business had been disposed of. It is believed that the Floyds cannot be now legally sentenced before the next term of court, which does not commence until next month. The law provides that after be ing convicted the prisoner may remain ip the custody of the sheriff for a "reasonable length of time" before sentence is passed upon him. The ques tion now is, can they be held until the next term commences before sentence is passed'( It is customary for the senior judge, prior to adjourning the court, to call in his associates and inquire whether their business bas been finished. Judge Hicks did not do this, but without consulta tion on Monday declared the court ad journed, sine die. His action caused much comment among attorneys, and may cause consid erable annoyance to the county attorney and Judge Jamison. pa sub only Oregon Short Line Washout.
