SPRING CITY, OAK, June 22.-It is a

We have the assurance of a still
better wheat market than the really
good one this place has previously had
the reputation for. The Farmers
alliance purpose erecting an elevator of
1900 bushels capacity and the Russell
Miller Milling company, one of nearly
equal size, which will give to this place
1ve elevators, representing as many
different companies. This fact speaks
this region. The fall politician is
cautiously emerging from his lair and
listening for the voice of the dear people.
The average. county official recognizes
friends from the country and expresses
a deep solicitude for the welfare of
themselves and families, when wear

whether general or local, are plethoric

they take precedence of all else. The
country will be just as much torn up

WASHINGTON, June 22.-As predicted
several months ago, the public building
bills for Sioux Falls and other points in
Dakota, have been permitted, or CON-
PEELED, to die in committee rooms.
This is also the case with the bill for
the additional judges. Clifford has had
that bill on the speakers table for the
past month, and has been unable to call
it up. Now the season is far advanced,
and the members of congress, in both
houses, are anxious to get away from
here and return to their homes to fix
up their fences for the coming campaign,
and they will permit and take part i'm as
little legislation as possible. Nothing
that will delay them and keep them
here for even an additional moment will
receive consideration. Thus it happens
that the ambitious people of Aberdeen
who were recently nagging Clifford for
a public binding to accommodate their
prospective United States court, will
not be accommodated. The DaytOnS
will continue to fight over the eligible
land, which would be available for the
purpose named, and the booming of the
town will be Loyalty continued; but
there will be not even suspicion of a
public building during the present ses-

SIOUX FALLS, June 22.-The local
option law in this county has been as
great fizzle as many of the presidential
booms which are so plentiful these days.
The law has never been enforced in
Sioux Falls. The only effort to enforce
it was made some three or four weeks
ago when five injunctions were served.
The inJunctiOnS, however, were not fol-
lowed up, and the men who are under
Injunction are selling as openly as ever.
The ProhibitiOnists are scOlding at the
city council because they do not enforce
the law. The city council say it is the
duty of the county, the county officers
say it is the duty of the Law and Order
league, and the league say they will

comes round. The time has not yet
come round. There are now about
twenty saloons running openly, day

was broken with impunity, and an

favor of the retention of law which
everybody knows is violated. and which
nobody tries to enforce. Dell Rapids
gave over 400 majority for prohibition,
but the Times now says the city will
defeat it should the measure come up
again.
High license men are circulating

the county commissioners to call an
other election at which the local option
law may again be voted upon.
The petition is being signed by scores
of those who voted for prohibition, and
who have become thoroughly disguised
