How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will examine
q solid Gold Watch, that aside from the necessary
thickness for engraving and polishing. large pro-
portion of the precious metal used. Is needed only
to ssifeu and hold the engraved portions in place,
and supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless SO far az ut-
ity ard beauty are concerned. In JANE BOSS
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste OF
precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity
and strength produced at one-thi1d to one-half OF
the usual cost Of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: plate OF
nicle composition metal, especially adaped to the
purpose, has two pl ates of SOLID GOLD soldered,
one on each side The three are then passed be-
polished steel rollers, and the result is strip
OF heavy plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, etc, cut and shaped by
suitable dies and formers The gold in these cases
is Efficiently thick TO admit OF all kinds OF cfas-
ing, engraving and enamelling the enRrav I'd cases
h,ve been carried until worn perfectly smooth ny
ssy..This is the only case made with two plates
Of SOLID GOLD, ind warranted 10y special certin-
cate.

CAPITAL Removal.

1t is rumored that a bill will be Intro
duced at the coming session of the LeglS-
lature, providing for the removal Of the
Capital from Yankton t" Alexandria. Ii
there is tru,h at the bottom of the rumor,
it does not seem reasonable that 1t can be
expectcd to meet with success, for the To-
cation, facilities, and surroundings Of that
place are Of themselves feeble attractions
for tie Capitol OF what is soon to DC one
Of the most thriving States OF the new
west. It probably, If attempted at all, is
but a feclcr for other movements tina: Will
be made N due time.
But aside from any question as to ellg'-
Dlity OF site, ar the people of the Terri
tory prepared to properly decide at THIS
time upon the location. We are not yet
State, and it may be some time before
we become one. 1t we are to be admitted
as a whole, then certainly a removal to
Alexandria would be far from central
geographically considered. II the divis-
ion is made upon the 4jLb parallel, and
the change is made with the view of a
desirable selection for the accommodation
of the residents Of those who will be with
in the southern portion, chen should not
the selection be made by them without
the interference Of the northern mamoers.
Is it right as a matter of justice 10 the
voters, that their representations should
assume the responsibility Of SO important
a measure, without having been made an
| issue in the election. TO us it certainly
| would be considered an unwarranteu as
sumption of forcing what the constituents
have been deprived Of expressing an opin-
| ion upon.
1t is true member is to be held res
ponsible for his acts to his constituents,
| and the presumption Is that he is reflect
! ing their sentiments upon every measure
he advocates or supports, but we venture
he prophecy, that whoever ventures to
agitate the removal Of the Capitol from
| Yankton this winter, will BE- actuated by
motives other than those prompted ~ the
desire to correctly represent the wishes OF
a majority of the people.
No member eau, at heart believe noU Is
the proper time to nloye IL this matter.

has displayed an extensive knowledge
and competency for the position of Treas
urer during the time he has held the Off ce,
and who has so faithfully and courteously
administered its duties without mourning
the least suspicion against his integrity,
surrendered his desk and safe to A. G.
Huetson. This gentlemen, whose quiet
retiring way has prey nted an extensive
personal acquaintance throughout the
county, brings to his position an cnviable
reputation for integrity and business Ca
pacity, having been formerly cashier of
a bank in some State east. One feature
worthy of note is, that two Of the leading
bankers at Sioux Falls who had known
him years ago, voluntarily protlered to
90 upon his bond and secure him what
further sureties needed With this record
our people can safely predict careful
distribution and guarded care of their
funds Sheriff Dixon succeeds himself,
and if he proves as comp etent and faith
full an official as his illustrious preiecess-
or OF 1851, there VIII be no reasonable
cause for anti-third termcrs to regret his
reelection. Judge Virgins leaves
pure record as Probate Judge, furnishing
safe precedents for his successor r Z.
Bennett, who will undoubtedly fill the Of
flee ably and satisfactorily. Mr.. ALI
bone, the Superintendent of Schools, is
highly spoken Of as being possessed of
the qualifications essential to make sue
cessful Superintendent. His predecessor
Mr.. Mckay, having so far as we haye
heard given excellent satisfaction.
In short we are assured that the Lincoln
county o!liclary for the cemlng two years
will make an acceptable and commenda-
BILE rec ord.

County Jail.

At the last December term on the 18th,
the Grand Jury at the close of their labors
presented their report upon the condition
Of the county Jail. AS is we'll known to
every voter IN Lincoln county, the apollo
gy prctcnce, or hole called a jail that we
now have, is not only unfit and insecure
but it is disgrace to q civilized commu-
nifty AS question of humanity, as
matter Of security, as matter OF economy
and as d matter OF public necessity, and IN
the interest of justice, a Jail Of sufficient
CAPACITY and that will hold secure, Offend
crs that are placed there, is imperativcly
demanded. Two criminals who were
charged with high crimes, have already
escaped through the inellicicncy of the
old mosquito bar trap. No person can be
kept there without the constant attendance
night and day Of a guard, and when
number Of prisoners are confined at once
more than one guard is needed, as has
been proved within the past few weeks.
The county have been subjected to large
outlay and a payment Of tribute to Mime.
haha county officials for the keeping OF
Lincoln county prisoners, besides the cost
OF transporting them back and forth.
One criminal (Husk, convicted OF lape)
is now at Sioux Falls, and is liable to re
main there until May or June next.
The Grand jury in their report earnest
oI; ,to l.a
taken towards building q Jail, and the
Court with commendable promptncss Or
dercd the Clerk to inform the Co. Com
missioners of the action Of the jury, ana
:;2id that if they did not proceed within
80 days to arrange for the construction or
lil that the Court would issue an order
instrucling tie Sheriff to provide for the
erection of one. This means business,
as II should under the eXigencics OF the
case. Now, how do the people or tax
pavers of Lincoln county want this thing
done, by direct taxation, thus forcing an
immediate COLLECTION Of the full amount
required for the purpose? or by the lsSu-
ing of bonds payable IN ten years, ana
thus be relieved from what many would
CONSIDER an Oppressive burden when add
e, to the present current taxation, as
we'll as making the final payment ten
years hence much easier, and upon a
lighter scale of taxation to each indivldu-
al by distribution among larger and
more able population.
What bonds would he sufficient for Jail
purposes can be negotiated at par, and at
the low rate Of per cent interest. 1t to
US seems the best and advisable
course to obtain a legislative enactment,
authorizing the county Commissioners TO
issue bonds in such an amount as will be
required, and then let the Jail be built
under their directions and watch. Some
thing will have to be done without delay,
and that which will relieve from a present
taxation the most, and distribute the bur
den on the greatest number IS certainly

of the people will experience at the pre-.
mature act, and the unfair and uDjustifiabIe
agitation of the question before the
people are prepared to assent or have been
allowed to manifest their choice through
the ballot box, the more than probable
cause of immed late action being a desire
to win little prominence, or crafty
selfish and disho norable ambition, all
combined ought to induce the members
to discountenancc every measure present
ed their body that seeks to accomplish
removal or put the capital On wheels be
fore the people are prepared to say where
the proper location is. We believe there
is too sensible an clement IN that body to
permit undue and hasty action in this
matter.
