One Safe Side.

We find ourselves quite often puzzled
as to the issues of right and wrong in
the practical questions of daily life. We
have 4 strong inclination to some course
of procedure concerning the wisdom or
prOpriety or lawfulness of which we can
not help entertaining j doubt. Will it
do for us to 90 forward. or will it vio-
late some standard of duty by which
We ought to be governed? MAY we
CRAFTY our desire. or will such self-in-
diligence strain and weaken our ALE
glance to the purest morality? MAY we
safely take some step quite agreeable
10 us. or will the act exert an unwhOle-
some influence upon those whose esti-
mate of good and evil is affected by our
example, We wish we could see clea.-
ly the merits of the ease, and we can
not assume the affirmative in the prob
lem of privilege without some slight
misgiving As to the vindication of our
course. We do cot mean to do wrong,
and we hope we have not gone astray
for nothing would induce US to tramp!s
upon any positive law OF rectitude.
Still there is 4 little cloud broOding the
whole transaction. within which there
may lurk above our head a shadow OF
condemnation. How can we be guided

The following from the Sioux Falls
Press, may remind some Of uurley's
citizens of the party who didn't engage
in the banking business here last sea-
son: 1.-The current statement of the
case was that, among other things,
Maj. Smith had discovered that the
junior member of the firm had drawn
on its Chicago correspondent for $500
without making any account thereof
on the books of the company. Previous
episodes of the partnership, and gen.
eral feeling which had arisen between
the partners, made this discovery
altogether exaspepating to the major,
who demanded of Clampet restoration
of the funds secured upon the draft,
and compelled hlm to turn them over
or suffer unpleasant consequences.
The outcome is, of course, a rupture
which will be generally deprecated in
SO far as it may in anywise affect an
enterprise which has been of such sig
nal benefit to this whole country as has
the Sioux Falls packery." The Press
says further that Clampet's reputation
in the community has not been height
ened by his disposition to generally
consider IL creditor as not much better
than q highway robber."

OBITUARY..

JgDSON.At q Hurley. Monday, March II, Rev.
I. II. Judson, aged 81 yrs and 8 mos.
tt IS indeed sad duty which falls to
the lot of the historian of local events
to this week chronicle the death of one
of Turner county's leading and most re-
Ispected citizens. MIR. Judson breathed
his last at about half past nine Monday
morning, the immediate cause of his
death being fatty. degeneration of the
heart. the end being hastencd by pneu-
MONA.
During Mr.. Judson's residence in the
territory he has been an active worker
in whatever cause he felt himself called
upon to espouse. There was no hesi-
fancy or halting when duty called. and
he was always to be found in the front
rank. In the death of Elder Judson the
community loses good citizen and the
family kind and devoted husband and
father.
The funeral services took place mt the
Baptist chapel Tuesday afternoon and
were attended by q large assemblage of
former friends and neighbors. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Sill,
assisted by Rcvs. Edminister, Newell
and Coffman.
Arrang ~ments have been made for
| an extended notice of Mr.. Judson's
good works, which we hope to present
! to our readers next week.

Profitable Investments.
Mitchell Republican.

There is no more inviting held IN tne
United States for the investment OF
capital safely and protitably than in the
rapidly settling portions of the west.
And there is no section OF the rapidly
settling west that offers better oppor-
tunitics than southern Dakota. The
reasons are very plain, and may be
stated as follows, viz: No purely agri-
cultural country ever settled SO quickly
or by so entcrprising people as south
eastern Dakota. No section of country
ever presented a more beautiful sur
face with rich soil. good water and IA
vorable climate; calculated to captivate
the settler, and fill him with desire to
own and cultivate at least one quarter
section of it. No section of country
ever so fully met the high expectations
of its occupants by producing such a
succession of bountiful crops from year
to year as to fully justify the great ex-
pectations of its people. In no section
of country in America, or perhaps not
in the world, have so many people of
limited means more than doubled their
capital in so short time as in southern
Dakota within the past three years.
The price of land here is now very low
compared with the excellence of the
land and its favorable location, and it
is quite sure to double again within a
very few years.
1t may be asked why we are so conf
dent of this rise in Dakota lands? Our
answer Is this. The lands are good,
they are well located, railroads are
traversing every section of territory,
they are near to markets. There is
very little of the land held by specula-
| tors, consequently nearly every quarter
tsection has an occupant who is ready
\ to assist in opening roads, building
bridges, erecting school houses, and
planting trees, etc. Spectators cannot
buy large tracts of land at one pur-
Achase. Everywhere else but in south
llern Dakota there are railroad land
Jgrants. Another reason we heve for
4 expecting our lands to increase very
n rapidly in value is that the good gov
Aernment lands are nearly exhausted.

The following from an exchange
shows how items are sometimes twisted
out of shape when they get away from
home: "A few days since Oliver Lane,
wife and child, arrived at Parkins, Da-
kota, from Viola, Iowa, and drove to
his claim a few miles. at the shanty
man jumped out of the door and
struck Lane and his wife with an axe,
then terribly kicked the child. This
done, he ran off over the prairie and
has not been arrested. Suffering terri
bly,, Lane with great effort crawled on
his hands and knees mile to a neigh
boris and told the-occurrence.'
