Tha flgbt for tha republican nomination
for mayor will carried Into the city eon
esnttoa Thursday afternoon aa tha precinct
primaries Tuesday night to aelect delegatea
to tha convention failed to settle it.
A rough estimate made last night of the
strength the aeverai candidates will have
n the first ballot was aa follows: Dell O.
Morgan, ti votes; William F. Sapp, li;
C. W. McDonald, 19; Charlee R." Hannan, 9;
S. F.Hsnry. -This estimate, however,
was largely guesswork, aa many of the
delegates are not pledged and had not de
clared their preference. The injection of
8. F. Henry's candidacy Into the fight yes
terday, after It had been announced that
fca waa net a candidate, complicated mat
ters. .
Dell Morgan succeeded in carrying hla
awn ward and will have tha solid support
at tha delegations from both precincts. In
the orst precinct there waa a Sapp and a
Morgan ticket. In the second precinct there
were three tickets, Bapp, Morgan and one
framed by the Non-partisan league.
, la the flrat precinct of the Second ward
Gap secured the delegation with tha ex
ception of one delegate, W. J. Leverett. who
was put forwsrd by the Non-partisan league.
In the aecond precinct Sapp lost out and a
ticket, which la aald to be not committed
to any candidate, won out.
In tha flrat precinct of tha Third ward
there waa only one ticket, a compromise
one, and the delegatea ars mixed. In the
aecond precinct Dell Morgan captured tha
delegation.
The first precinct of the Fourth ward gave
two delegates to Henry and Ave to McDon
ald. Tha second precinct delegation la said
to be mixed and not committed.
In the flrat precinct of the Fifth ward
.Hannan got six delegatea and Morgan four.
The second precinct delegation Is mixed,
but Morgan has two for certain. It la eaM.
- Tha first precinct of the Sixth ward aent
'a mixed delegation. Morgan'a friends claim
five of tha delegatea and McDonald two.
There will be eighty-four delegatea In the
convention, ao forty-three votes will be
necessary to secure a nomination.
It was atated laat night on what waa aald
ta be good authority that In the event of
Morgan'a failing to secure tha nomination,
,ae would throw hla strength to Hannan.
Tbla would Insure Hannan'a nomination.

Senate Proceedings.
Senator Courtrlght secured reconsidera
tion of the vote on m bill to gtva additional
revenues to the State "Board of Health.
The , bill had been defeated laat week. It
glvea to the board one-half of tha feea
received from Itinerant medical men. The
bill alsd provides a change In the man
ner of revoking certificates, so that It wilt
be Impossible for. ant member of the board
to prevent the revocation, of a certificate.
It waa explained by Seoator Courtrlght that
since tbe feea from those, who pass examina
tion have been reduced tha Income of the
board has been Insufficient to meet ex
penses and unless this bill Is paased the'
Shortage will have to be made up by a di
rect appropriation. Tba feea received from
Itinerant doctors last year were $2,750. Sen
ator Oarst raised a question as to whether
or not the deficit of 11,200 In the finances
of tha State Board of Health was caused by
tbs refusal or tha board to grant medical
certificates to osteopaths., Following this
suggestion Senator Arthaud offered an
amendment to strike out all of -the first
section which declared that the main pur
pose of ths bill waa not to provide addi
tional Income, but to change the lawa and
make It possible for the board to abut out
osteopaths. Ha offered hla amendment ao
aa to leave tha additional Income feature
but to avoid any change la the general
law. . Tha Arthaud amendment waa adopted,
II to 12, and ths bill waa paaaed. 26 to 14.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.
Tou have good reason to fear an attack
of pneumonia when you have a severe cold,
accompanied by pains In the cheat or In tbe

attack. Among the tena of thousands who

grippe, wt have yet to learn of a single case
that haa reaulted In pneumonia, which
ahowa that tbla remedy Is a certain pre

JUDGE BURTT MUCH ESTEEMED
Rew Atterney General for "oath Da
kota Haa Record aa aa
Able Lawyer.
HURON,. 8. . D., March 18. (Special.)
Judge A, W. Burtjjnaf thla elty, whose ap
pointment aa attornTy general of South. Da
kota to succeed' the lata John L. Pyle was
announced by Governor Herreid, haa been
resident of ; Beadle county sines 1881.
He wss born In Warrentown, N. Y., and at
the age of 8 yeara removed with hia par
ents to Rochester, N. Y., where he
waa later admitted to the bar and where
hs practiced law for some time.
Prior to coming to Dakota Judge Bum
had held many' positions of public trust.
Among tbe more Important was that of a
member of the building committee which
supervised tha construction of an asylum
for ths lnsans for eastern Michigan, when
the disbursements were $250,000. He re
sided In Pontine six yeara and waa as
sociated with Judge M. E. Crofoot. father
of Judge L. W. Crofoot of Aberdeen.
From Pontine Judge Burtt moved to Bea
dle county In 1881 and haa since lived in
Huron. He waa a member of the firm of
Burtt, Ayera A Crofoot and later became
associated with William B. Sterling from
1891 to 1895 aa counsel for the Chicago A
Northwestern railway company, when Mr.
Crofoot waa made attorney for the Elkborn
system of the Northwestern, and moved to
Omaha.
Judge Burtt was city attorney of Huron
In 1885-6 and In 1889, and represented
Beadle county In the atate aenate In 1893,
when Governor Herreid waa lieutenant gov
ernor. Aa an attorney Judge Burtt stands blg
in the estimation of ths bar of the atate.
It ia altogether likely that Alva E. Taylor,
the present assistant attorney general, and
who baa held the position during Mr. Pyle's
life aa chief officer, will be Judge Burtt'a
assistant.
