THEY DIED FOR US.

Could there be anything more fit
ting than this, the sOth day of May
be made q national holiday, a day to
be set apart by the nation for a proper
observance of the debt we owe the
dead heroes who died that we might
as a nation better live; who died in
defense of the dear old flag, which
has written upon it: Liberty, Frater-
nifty, Equality-the three grandest
words IN all the languages Of men.
With most of us memory goeth not
back further than wal times and in
the midst of our busy life and forget
fulness there stands one event perma-
nent in the minds of many-when
father, brother, or sweetheart
went to war. We could Motive
younger ones-understand all that
war ment in those days. Looking
dimly back through the vista of a
score OF years we see ourselves play
ing truant and tagging block after
block at the heels of recruits march
ing bravely down to Washington to
fight for "Uncle Abe" Laboriously
spelling ont the infammatory head
lines above dispatches from the seat
of war. Pestered to death by sisters
upon q return from the p~ost-ofice
who expected a pocket full of letters
from absent loved ones at the front.
And how many of US remember a
day of all days, when the dread dis
patches came detailing the news Of a
great battle and the long list of killed
and wounded, many of whom we had
watched SO gaily march away SO
short a time before, and of the mourn
ing and sorrow when all that was
left of them was brought home and
laid away, each in his window!css
palace Of rest, over which we with
loving hands strew our beautiful
flowers to-day And now looking
back through all these years, mem
cries of those events SO sadly inn
pressed upon our boyish hearts be-
come h%allowed, and we young men
that go up and down and around
town should with all heart do rever-
ence to this day set apart for honers
to the memory of those dead heroes.
They died for liberty, they died for
us. They are at rest. They sleep
in the land they made free, in the
country they loved SO well, under the
flag they rendered stainless, under
the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks,
the fearful willows, the embracing,
vines. They sleep beneath the
shadows of the clouds, careless alike
of sunshine or storm. Earth may
run red with other wars-they are
at peace. In the midst of battle, in
the oar of conflict, they found the
serencty of death. Let us have but
one sentiment for the soldiers living
and dead-cheers for the living and
tears for the dead.

Good News From Tory Township
Water in Abundance.

Having had numerous questions asked me By
parties Knowing l was trying the experiment of
getting a good well, and as it is a question which
concerns the welfare of Dakota in general, will
state that have gone down 21O feet at present
writing and have lis feet of water. Struck blue
clay at 80 feet down, went 148 feet in blue clay
then struck a hard quality of chalk stone. Wa
ter began coming in and soon reached the depth
OF lis feet. I am still going down for a flowing
we'll. The water Gems to be of excellent quality
and 80 far l feel more than satisfied with my ex-
pertinent. The work is being done by Smith a.
Durham. They drill nothing but a six inch hole
and parties wanting work done in their line
should give them a call and examine their outfit
as they are prepared for deep well drilling.

tended it is a large saving in expense
and will be an immense improvement
upon its present ragged appearance.
Last week Major j. E. jenkins
swore out a warrant for the arrest of
a yonng man living in Buffalo county,
the charge being stealing a setter
bitch belonging to MI. jenkins. The
young man (whose name is withheld
by request) was brought iuto town by
sharif Ochsner. Through advice of
his attorney he demanded a jury trial
which was held before Justice Stuart
on Thursday and the defendent
acquitted. While we do not say the
young man was guilty we do say that
his lawyer advised him to plead gull
ty, before the hearing as we'll as other
lawyers whom he went to for advice,
and Justice Stuart said to a reporter
of the GRAPHIC that all the evidence
showed that he was guilty and that
any Justice IN town would have SO
decided upon the evidence. Another
singular fact in the case is that the
defendant made no defense whatever.
Major jenkins was not actuated by
spite or malice but through the KIM
ball Kennel Club wished to make an
example of some of the :sneaks who
have been stealing dogs out Of Kim
ball, and would if necessary, gladly
paid the fellows fine himself, had it
come hard on him.

A Midnight Tragedy.
Chapter /.

1t was night.
Not last night, nor tomorrow
night, but simply night; in fact q
genuine, unadorned night from Nj
treville.
1t was a dark night.
If any n has a darker night they
can call at this Office and take the
gate money.
The stars brooded in the sky.
So did the chickens in the coop.
Two men skunk furtively along.
They skunk fur-tively not because
they had fur to go, hut because it was
midnight and their wives had been
waiting some time.
One vas a dispenser of justice.
The other a dispenser OF Book
beer.
The former carried a lantern.
la, they dodge in alright! Was
it the rattle of musketry?
Chapter II.
No, it was only a Kimball ma1dens
snore rumbling out upon the death
less stiffness of the night.
1t was a still night not a thing
stirred, not a leaf stirred, not a tree
stirred, not even a horse stirred.
All, they halt.
What do they see.
Ajack-rabbit.
Atlood of flight from the lantern
falls across the pathway.
The fall don't hurt the flood OF
light a bit.
One draws a revolver.
Did he draw it in a rattle? No, he
drew it from his pocket.
He aims. A lond report rings ont
upon the midnight air and with a
hollow laugh they fee into the dark,
ness.
Chapter III.
When the sun in the east
(mind IN the east) on the morning
following the terrible tragedy, awak
ing the children to their play, the
birds to their songs, the ant to hlt
labors, the world to its toll, and ths
editors to morning prayers. two mer
might have been seen examining {
white rock for marks of a bullet.
The end.

Business CHANGE.

Park and Llchty have dissolved
partnership. Mr.. Parks brother who
has been a popular salesman for the
old firm since thry commenced bust
ness in Kimball succeeds Mr.. Llchty
in the firm which will nov be Park
and Park. Park and Llchty started
in business in November last under
many disadvantages. They had to
meet the strong competition of old
established houses, but by q liberal
use Of printers ink-to which they
openly admit they are indebted Largely
for their success i'll building up their
trade and a careful attention to the
wants of their customers, together
with low prices for first class, fresh
goods they have succeesed in build
ing up one of the best trades of any
firm in South Dakota. The business
has been under the sole management
of MI. Budd Park who has proved
himself to be a gentleman of rare
business qualifications, who always
does just as his advertisements state
and drives business instead of lett ng
business drive him. A like policy
will govern the new firm. The Park
Brothers will make things hum.
Watch their advertisement in the
GRAPHIC and don't forget Red Letter
Day.

During the vote the following pairs were
announced: Beck, aye, with Hale, no !;
Cameron Wis.,, aye, th George, no !;
Miller N. ", no, Wit Camden, aye !;
Plumb, no, with Vest, eye; Sawyer, no,
with kenna, aye.
The motion TO go into executive session
was agreed to, but while the doors were
being closed, it was discovered that the
preamble to the bill had not been passed,
and motion to secure its immediate pas
sage was made. Edmunds, however, in
sisted that the Senate first go into execu-
tive session, 50 the doors were closed and
were Immediately reopened.
The preamble then passed-yeas, S3; /;
nays, %.
During the vote Senator Miller n. Y. ]
expressed wish to vote, and without OBJ
lection transferred Camden's pair to Al
drich, who was now absent. Senator
Miller then voted no. Before the bill was
passed Senator Hawley expressed the
hope that the majority would spare the
Senate from vote annulling decision OF
the court-martial, which was as lawfully
constituted as the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Senator Conger remarked that it was
disgrace enough to have been a member
of the body which would pass such a bill.
The preamble to the bill as passed re-
cites that the board of officers convened
by the President to examine and report
upon the case of Gen. Porter, stated that
Justice required the President to annul
the findings and sentence of the court
martial in Gen. Porter's case, and restore
him to the position of which the sentence
deprived him, such restoration to take ef-
feet from the date of dismissal from the
service. The President had remitted so
much of the sentence as disqualified Gen.
Porter from holding Office, and that, in
order to do justice to Gen. Porter. it was
enacted, etc. Then the bill authorizes
the President, by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, to appoint Gen.
Porter 10 the position OF colonel in the
army with the same grade and rank held
by him at the time of his dismissal, and
authorizes the President, in his discretion,
to place Gen. Porter on the retired list as
of that grade, Porter, however, to re-
ceive compensation or allowances prior to
his appointment under the act.
The bill, as reported from the Senate
committee, was amended by striking out
the provision for the restoration OF Porter
''to all the rights, titles and privileges of
the rank held by him at the time OF his
dismissal from the army" This is the
amendment which necessitates the return
of the bill 10 the House

Suffering by the Recent Cyeione-The
Principal Losses.
Special to the Appeal
STARKvILLE, March 13.-Your CORE
spondept has just learned that the people
living at and around the little town of
Whitefield, eighteen miles ives, of Stark
vile, suffered by the cyclone of the 11:h
instant. Mr.. Dan Thomas, wealthy
farmer, was damaged to the extent of
$4,000, blowing his barns, stables and
cabins away, all of his fencing, and killing
a great many COWS. 1t is asserted posi-
lively by parties that were in the place
at the time that some OF his cows were
blown quarter OF mile. Perry Stanton
suffered heavily, blowing his dwelling
and all or his outhouses off; damage.
$1,000. A great many others suffered
of which we cannot give any account.
White6eld is in the interior, not connect
ed with any place by wire or railroad. All
the reports we get are from the mail-rider
and other parties from there. We have
heard of no lives lost but the two which
telegraphed to you in my special of the
18th. Everything at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College is now quiet, and all
are at work clearing the debris away. The
college has asked an appropriation from
the State of $4,000 to repair damages,
which, we think, will be appropriated
The estimate is small.
