The Interests Of Dakota.

Hon. r. F. Pettigrew of Sioux
Falls delegate-elect of the territorial
council which convenes at Bismarck
on the l4th inst is at the Merchants.
Talking with a Pioneer Press report
er last night he said: ON regard to
the coming Legislative session, no leg
islation OF extraordinary importance
is likely to come up. The farmers
will probably make an attempt to Sc
cure the passage of a bill governing
the buying of grain, the conduct of
elevators and railroad transportations
but personally | do not believe these
matters can be satisfactorily regulated
by legislation. In the buying Of grain
the railroads will say to the farmers.
'Why, certainly, establish your OWE
warehouses and buy the grain;' but if
the farmers attempt it, the elevator
monopoly will at once begin to pay
from two to three cents more for
grain than the farmers can afford to
pay, making up the difference easily
in their purchases at stations where
they have no opposition. Legislation
cannot correct this practice. The
only remedy is for the farmers to join
at all stations and take the matter in
their own hands. Some in Dakota
favor the Illinois law in regard to
wheat grading and transportation;
The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1885-01-23

others prefer the Iowa law. It is
hard to tell just what will be done.
| do not consider that the Illinois law
is entirely applicable to Dakota. 1t
is probable that something win be
done to amend the law relating to
the taxation of railroads so that tiie
roads may be forced to pay q greater
share of the tax now levied. As to
political legislation, it is probable
that an effort will be made to provide
for the calling of a constitutional con-
vention for South Dakota, the idea
being to elect officers and set up al
state government as was done in Michi-
gan paying no attention to the authori-
ty of the territorial officers. But such a
movement, / do not believe, will sue
coed: at any rate l shall oppose it.
The people of Southern Dakota are
pretty generally disposed to consent
to the capital remaining at Bismarck;
this, of course, with the understand
ing that the territory will be divided,
when the southern half will have the
power to choose its own capital.
ALLOWED TO REMAIN AT BISMARCK.
"The capital matter will probably
be allowed to rest, unless the people
of Bismarck and of North Dakota
make an undue effort to oppose the
division Of the territory. If they
should do this, the capitol will be re-
moved from Bismarck at once by the
Legislature. | would not consent to
allow it to remain at Bismarck for aa
hour under such circumstances. The
people of South Dakota do not want
! to be admitted as a whole, but want
a division of the territory. IF North
Dakota does not oppose us We shall
make no objection to the capital re-
naming at Bismarck. But ! am GER
tain there is no chance for admission
at this session of congress. Next
year, however, when Cleveland will
have the distribution of patronage, l
think we will be admitted without
any more trouble. Are the people of
Dakota indignant at Vest because of
his opposition? Oh, no; they rather
pity him in bis display Of Ignorance.
l knew Vest, and he is not honest or
sincere in this matter. But it is fit
ting that such a shiftless vaga-
bond as Vest-coming from such a
state as Missouri, all plastered over
with reputation, and eager to erect a
monument to tie James boys-should
lead the opposition. Am | a eandi-
date for president of the council? l
am not, and would not accept if cleo
ted. There is nothing to be gained
by being chosen to preside ove TWEEN
ty-four men,"
Mr.. Pettigrew is confident that the
old Sioux and Winnebago reservation
near Pierre will be thrown open to
settlement before the end of Presi-
dent Arthur's term. Secretary Teller
favors this course, and there is no
reason to doubt that it will be done.

The Late E. L. Currens.

Last weeks Chamberlain Democrat
contained . three column sketch of
the late E. I. Currens life which was
excellently and interestingly written.
From it we learn that Mr.. Cunens
was born in Germantown Ky. in June
1916. His parents were of Scotch
Irish decent and were among the first
settlers of Virginia. His father ac-
cumilateda large fortune and E. r.
was reared amid all the elegant sur.
roundings of wealth and culture. He
was three times married, his first
marriage at the age OF %. Soon after
his wife died from consumption; after
a lapse of ten years he was again
married to another Kentucky lady
who lived but eight years thereafter.
In 1859 he was again married to a
lady in Sharon Ky. who survives him
and is living in NATION III. where his
remains we're placed in their final
resting place. He also leaves four
children, Maggie, J. Is. Currens, pas
tor of the Presbyterian church in
Woonsocked, Oak. George Crrrens
and Anna, his youngest child, who is
with her mother. Mr.. Currens was
in the dry goods business before his
first marriage, selling out after his
fathers death. He removed to Iowa
i'll 1857, returning to Marysville Ky.
at the time of his marriage where he
settled down and engaged in the hard
ware business. He returned to his
farms in Iowa again in 1861 where he
had 5000 acres under cultivation.
He exchanged this property for Gin
cinnati real estate and moved to that
city in 1858. He removed from Gin
cinnati in 1865 to Nation I'll. where
he engaged in fruit growing which
proving Improbable caused him to
leave his family and 60 to San Anton
10, Texas aud start a sheep ranch.
Separation from his home becoming
~nnbearahle he returned to NATION in
1871. He came to Kimball with his
daughter Maggie in 1880 and pre-
empted a claim neal town where he
has resided up to the time of his re-
moval to Chamberlain last fall.
Mr.. C%urrens had all of the native
Kentuckian's love for fine stock. If
he had a hobby that was the one.
Wherever lie lived he made his in
f1uence felt in this direction. He
founded several agricultural associa-
tons and vas for years a constant
contributor to journals devoted to ag-
riculture and stock raising.
During his residence in Kimball he
was a frequent caller at the GRArn1c
office and the many long and pleasant
conversations held with him by the
writer will be remembered for years
to come. He was a great reader, a
close observer, q deep thinker with
a mind stored with useful knowledge
gathered from years of travel and a
constant association with the highest
order of literature. The beauty of
his mind and heart was such that an
acquaintance with him soon ripened
into friendship, and it may be said
his friends were only limited by the
number of his acquantances. lie
lived for others, not for himself, and
the good hat he has done will be a
lasting and enduring monument for
years to come.

Shall We Meet Again?

The following from the pen Of the la
mented George D. Prentice is we'll worth
reproduction. 1t was regarded as merito-
rious when it first appeared, and age seems
to have added to its beauty: 1.-THE fiat
death is memorable. No appeal for relief
from the law which dooms us to dust. We
flourish and fade as the leaves of the for
est, and the flowers that bloom, wither, and
fade in a day have no frazier hold upon life
than the mightiest monarch that ever shook
the earth with his footsteps. Generations
Of men will appear and disappear as grass,
and the multitude that throng the world
to-day will disappear as footsteps on the
shore. Men seldom think of the great
event Of death until the shadow falls
across their own pathway, hiding from their
eyes the faces Of loved ones whose living
smiles was the sunlight Of their existence.
Death is the antagonist Of life, and the
thought of the tomb is the skeleton Of all
feasts. We do not want to 60 through the
dark valley, although its dark passage may
lead to paradise; we do not want to go
down into damp graves, even with princes
for bed fellows. In the beautiful drama of
Ion, the hope of immortality, SO eloquent
~ uttered by the death-devoted Greek,
finds deep response in every thoughtful
soul. When about to Weld his lift. a sac.
riice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if they
should meet again; to which he responds;
l have asked that dreadful question OF the
hills that look eterna!-of the clear streams
that flow forever-of stars among those
fields of azure my raised spirits have walk
ed in glory. All are dumb But as
gaze upon thy living face, feel that there
is something in love that mantles through
its beauty that can not wholly perish. We
shall meet again, Clemanthe

at every corner. He never patrols the
streets, but has lantern which he sets in
the center of the intersecting streets, and
then retires to convenient doorway and
sits silent until relieved AS consequence
there is row of lanterns in the middle of
every street. Each policeman carries a
club and revolver, and wears blanket
around his shoulders. The roundsmen
who patrol the streets are mounted, and
carry carbines and sabres, looking like cav.

An Honest Official.
Ark. Traveller,

An Arkansas coroner found a
drunken man, and, thinking that he
had a subject, summoned a jury.
Just before verdict of "cau2e OF
death unknown" was rendered, the
man got up, busted his hat and asked
"Have any of you men seen any
thing of Ted Bryant?"
The coroner was disgustcd. "This
is a pretty time to talk such nonsense
said he. "You were dead just a
while ago, and now, sir, such an
action on your part tending TO cheat
an honest official out of few hard
earned dollars won't be tolerated by
this community"
1t was not my fault, cap'n."
eyes it was your fault. You could
have kept still until this business
was over, and still there would have
been plenty of time to ask abou
your acJuaintances. You've knocked
lis out of about fifteen dollars"
'Tm sorry, cap'n. Say, will yol
set up the drinks if I tumble owe
now and let the good work go on P
eyes, we'll give you a quart"
The man laid down and the verdic
was rendered, not according to tn
facts in the case, but in complianc
with pressure of circumstances. A
a rule, the Arkansaw coroner is a
honest man.
