Tux thriving city of Pierre, which has
Just been chosen rs the capital of South
Dakota. is in the midst of qualification
that eradicates the frillS from any similar
demonstration that has been seen in a long
time Nobody in Pierre has the nerve to
do ordinary business. Shops are shut. and
proprietorS are all out on the street making
speeches. letting off barrels of treerackerS
and whooping things generally. Process
Sions of rble-bodied men and women
march up and down the streets singing
songs and reiterating the choruSed query,
Nv hat 5 the matter with Pierre?" The
universal sentiment as evidenced by yrepieS
seems to be that Pierre is all right.
Whistles are still blowing. bells are still
ringing, orators are still Grating, cannon
are still booming, bazoos are still bdzzing,
there is no knowing when the rejoicing
will experience let-up. City property
has reached fabulous prices and real estate
dealers are drinking champaign and eat
ing quail at every meal. Notwithstanding
it voted for prohibition, the place has as
sumed such distinctly brilliant vermil-
lion hue that the effect is felt all over the
gritty little baby state, and the rival
cities that got left in the contest for the
capital are forgetting the disappointment
in the admiration awakened by Pierre $

body is happy and Pierre is booming.

MiIwaul<ee Ministers VIII Try to Close the
Saloons on Sunday,

saloons on sunday,
MILWAUKEE, Oct. THE Sunday
Closing Of Saloons in MiIwaukee-Is it
Feasible? What Can Be Done About It?''
This was the subject which the Minis
ters' association of Milwaukee considered
this morning The principal address was
made by the Rev. Frank Fl. Allen, of Pill
grim Congregational church. Mr..
Allen reviewed the campaign which
resulted in Sunday closing in Cincin-
matt. and said that if the effort was made
in Milwaukee it should not be in the ma
ture of religious movement. but simply
one to enforce the civil law. Our efforts, -
said he, should be lii the direction of
awakening an interest and enthusiasm in
the enforcement of a just law, In which all
good citizens must have equal inter
est, whether identified with a
church or not He believed
this sort of a movement could be made to
succeed in Milwaukee. Il would recon-
mend, said Mr Allen, in the discussion
that followed, that we hold a mass-meet-
ing during the winter and thoroughly ag-
itate his question. We should enlist the
interest and ..sympathies of the Catholic
bretheren, the German Lutheran ministers
and their churches, and all good citizens
| believe it to be a great mistake to
assume, as is often done, the Catholic and
German people are all against civil Sun
day enforcement. Wherever the question
has been taken up with vigor and energy
the Catholics and large number of Ger
man citizens have taken decided stand
in favor of enforcing the laws.
A committee was appointed to wait on
the German Luthen ministers and another
to ask the Catholic bishop and clergy to
help in the work of Sunday closing.
