All the talk about a short ses
' sion of the legislature this winter
is sheer nonsense. The election of
a United States senator will prob
ably occupy considerable time and
may seriously interfere with the
transaction of other business.
Then there is- the problem of
meeting three dollars of necessary
state expense with two dollars of
revenue, a question in finance that
oannot be settled hurriedly. A re
apportionment of the state into
legislative districts will be neces
sary, and as this will be accom
panied by efforts to reduce the
size of both branches of the legis
lature, it can be seen that it will be
no short job. There are always
enough fruitful subjects for the
legislator to consider, and as there
will be some special ones this win
ter, it is useless to hope for less
than a sixty day session. And
when it is remembered there are a
large r u nber of independents in
both houses, most of whom are
men with radical hobbies to which
they are wedded, i t becomes a set
tled fact that a tedious and fruit
less siege of law tinkering is be
fore us.
The agricultural papers at
Springfield, Mass., have been mak
ing a systematic canvas among the
farmers of the country for the pur
pose of ascertaining the choice of
the people for presidential candi
dates. Out of 108,000 cards re
ceived from republicans, there
were 39,209 who preferred Blaine,
81,013 for
Rusk and 16,903 divided between
Heed, McKinley, Depew, Plumb
and “a farmer.” Of an equal
number of democratic preferences,
Cleveland leads off wUh 71,787,
Hill has 17,118,11,081 favor Hatch,
while Pattison, Carlisle, Bussell
and “a farmer” have tno rest

It is reported on good authority
that times were never as dull in
Kansas City as they are at present
Laboring men of all classes are
out of employment without any
immediate prospect of a better
condition of things. Kansas City
has always been one of the boom
cities, ever riding on the top wave
and it now looks as though she
hod reached a point where a reac
tion could not be avoided. These
reactions are bad things.
The Public Examiner has noti
fied all county auditors that their
terms of office do not expire until
March Ist This is in accord with
a law passed by the last territorial
legislature and which still holds
good. The arrangement is an ex
cellent one and gives the other of
ficers a chance to get thoroughly
initiated before the new auditor
steps in. It would probably be
better if the time was extended un
til April Ist
The Mormons announce that
they are going to Mexico enmasse
and establish a Mormon colony.
There will be but little mourning
over their departure and what is
our gain will be Mexico’s loss.
The leader asserts that polygamy
will not be practised in the new
settlement bnt the statement is not
believed.
Bitting Bull’s ghost is said to
haunt the Bad Lands and beckon
the warriors of his bend to follow
him on the warpath. If there is
any “bad land” in tho great here
after where Sitting Bull now is,
we have no doubt'but he Will* be
found there.
Ths Press of this week republish
es an article from tho Highmore
Bulletin reflecting nfxvn the char
acter and ability of Hobl *F . E.
Diamond, the receutlj 7 appointed
bank examiner. The article ifi
grossly false in every respect, had
as it is published without com
ment, it appears in reality a* edi
torial opinion. The facts are that
Mr. Diamond is everywhere known
as one of the most thorough and
competent business men in the
state and the appointment was
made with especial regard for fit
ness for the Ail parties
interested in any bank business
which may come under his control
can depend upon prompt action
and the most scrupulous care in
every respect •If we mistake not
the editor of the Bulletin tried
once before to “squelch” Mr. Dia
mond, but was glad to give up the
job and his whining on this occa
sion only shows him to be a sore
head.
Although the late Mr. 8. Bull
was an inhabitant of North Dokota
—his life gore oozed out on the
Grand river—which is in South
Dakota—and the crimson blood
went to commingle with the sands
of the arid region-while his spirit
—if he had one —has passed on
that journey—from whence no
traveler returns not again—any
more-according to all orthodox
theories —except the spirit rappers.
Anyhow the average Dakotan will
stand less in awe of the spirit to
come—than he did of the old man
—in the flesh. —Fargo Argus.
The fragrant history of the de
funct lnsuraqce Company of Da-‘
kota, of Sioux Falls,- is recalled by
a suit recently brought by Clark
Coats against Harry Hollister, the
president of the company. It seems
that Coats was induced 4o buy
stock as an agent and the suit re
sulted in a judgment against Hol
lister for $16,000. >
The democrats are arranging
for the nse of a large amount of
eastern money in convincing the
independents that they want Bart
lett Tripp for senator. The
scheme is a very nico one, but
Messrs. Gorman and Brice will
have to go down pretty deep in the
barrell to capture the third party
strength.
The Wright house at Huron
burned early Saturday morning,
both building and contents prov
ing a total loss. For a time it was
feared that other buildings in the
vicinity would be destroyed, bnt
the department succeeded in con
fining the flames to tU* hotel The
loss is a serious one to Huron.
The well known Chicago bank
ing firm of Kean & Co., has failed
and made a bad failure of it, too
The assets reported were small as
compared with the liabilities and
they have grown beautifully less
since their value has been investi
gated. The concern has long been
a fraud.
The De Smet News is still whin
ing about the vote in the state for
Major Bnth, and says that the
Sentinel is at fault in stating that
Buth run behind his ticket Just
take the trouble, Mac, to read the
official returns.
Henry B. Brown, of Detroit
Mich., has been appointed to the
vacant place on the supreme bench.
The appointment is said to be a
good one.
Passenger agent Teasdale of the
Omaha line was paralyzed the other
day by receipt of a letter from a
conscience stricken individual, who
once rode over that line on another
man’s pass, and who now wants to
settle with the company for taking
advantage of it The name signed
to the letter Was not Wanlalf by
tho way.—-Mitchell Republican.

Jui)GE EdgekTON has lately vis
ited Washington, aud it is now as
serted that he would like ft chance
to try his luck agaiu provided
Moody cannot be elected.
It is reported that the Beadle
coun,ty legislators will not support
Moody for re-election. It is un
derstood that they will make au
attempt to elect Melville, the not
ed Huron criminal lawyer.
It is worth nothing that the vast
revenues of the government during
the past year —over $450,000,000 —
were handled by republican offi
cials without the loss of a single
cent This fact alone is a sufficient
reason for opposing tho restoration
of the democratic party to power.
—Globe-Democrat
The best way for the farmers and
for everybody else to solve this
cheap money question, is to get
out of debt and keep out of debt
Debt is a terrible burden and it
would be just as heavy a burden

Christmas exercises were a splen

Christmas eve. The church was
crowded, the exercises were interest

gant. Old St. Nick, is invited to
come again.
Another fire 1 Last Monday even
ing the alarm rang through the town
that the elevator was on fire. VY'heii
first seen, the flames were blazing
from the root at the west end of the
cupola, and it looked as if the fate of
the building was sealed. But some
one succeeded in bursting in a door
and climbing to the cupola with a
pail’of water, which was dashed from
the window on to the roof. A few
pailsfull of water extinguished the
blaze, which was found to be alto
gether on the outside Of the building.
This is the fifth time this elevator haa
been afire.* 1 *
And still another! This time at
the tow mill. Early Christmas morn-,
ing the Ibw mill was seen to be in
flames, and so evident was it that the
fire could not be checked that no
general alarm was given. The en
gine and all the machines, as well as
the building, were lost.

G. H. Lien, of Brookings, was in
our neighborhood last Tuesday on
business.
Mrs. E. Anderson died last Friday
of consumption. The burial took
place ou Wednesday.
A merry Christmas and a happy
New Year to the Skntinkl's man
agement and its many readers.
Jonas Lien, teacher of school No.
2, has adjourned for a two weeks va
cation which he will spend at his
home in Brookings.
Misses Carrie and Agnes Stens
land, who have been in Watertown
during the summer, returned last
Thursday. Agnes will remain home
during the holidays, while Carrie, af
ter a thr*e days stay returned to her
duties at Watertown. Her many
friends extend their best Christmas
and New Year** greeting to the de
parted friend.
Last Friday evening a spelling
contest was held at school house No.
2, where the following teachers and
their scholars were present: C. H.
Linn, teacher of said school, J. H.
Lien, No. 2, J. M. Riytnond, No. 4,
G. B. Froiland, teacher in Scandi
navia township, Deuel Co., also a
number of John Dokken** scholars of
that township were present. The
scholars of the different schools
took part in the spelling, and after
a long and skillful spelling, the first
trial ended in a tie between schools
No 2 and 4. It was then decided
that the two best spellers of these
schools should proceed and decide
the contest. Miss Della Christopher
son of No. 2, and Mr. Andrew An
derson of No. 4, proved to be the
leading spellers, and the noxt two
trials ended in a tie, both being
spelled down on the same word. The
third, however, ended in victory for
Della Christopberson of No. 2. Miss
Christopherson, teacher and school
returned home proud of the honor
which they bad won. C. H. L.

The enrollment has been 85 more
than during any previous term.
The regularity in at tendance has
not been all that it should be.
Some have been detaihed on ac
count of sicki'es*, but far too many
have been kept out to work and for
other causes that we believe could
and ought to be avoided.
Some have been out or school so
much that their studies have sutfered
very materially. As a result their
interest has diminished. Trouble is
very apt to follow for which the
teacher is often blamed. In almost
every instance of the kind the biatne
belongs to the parent and not to the
teacher.
Parents who find it difficult to get
along with one or two children at
home should be very cautious how
they censure the teacher who has a
whole room full to (leal with.
Parents should be positive that
the reports brought home are trtw to
the very letter before they side in
with the child and condemn the
teacher. Great injustice has been
done from these causes right here in
Brookings during the past term.
