HOT SPRINGS STAR.
A Nut fOr Oelrichs to Crack.

Sioux Falls, April 1st.-Specfal:-
Judge Palmer, attorney for Columbia
in the Brown county seat contest, to-
day received a telegram from the clerk
OF the United States supreme court af-
firming the decision Of the Dakota su-
preme court. This decision is final and
settles the question that the records Of
Brown county must be taken back
from Aberdeen to Columbus.
This decision ought to furnish the
restive citizens Of Oelrichs, food for re-
Fiction. The county seat Of Brown
county was moved from Columbia to
Aberdeen under so called general
law" but which under the conditions
specified in the law, could only apply
to a very few counties in The territory.
The law was adroitly framed with the
idea that it would avoid congressional
enactment, prohibiting special legisla-
ton in the territories. The law en-
acted last winter by the legislature,
and under which the ambitious people
of Oelrichs seek to again involve the
people of this county in the turmoil Of
a county seat war, is exactly the same
kind of special legislation under the
guise of general law that the SUI
preme court of the United States has
in the Brown county case, decided un-
constitutional and void. If the people
of Oelrichs would devote the energies
they are wasting in vain attempt to
steal the county seat, to securing the
establishment Of industries in their city
and the influx Of immigration and for
eign capital, they could make their city
in short time one Of the best cities in
the Hills, but so long as they continue
the worse than useless practice oi
"throwing their money at BIRDS and
the senseless attempts to do the impos'
sible, just so long will they prevent
their own material prosperity. Ho'
Springs is still the county seat Of Fal
River county and such she will remsil
until a,uaore suitable and proper plas'
is selected " the people, and that NOR
suitable and proper place is not nov
and never will be-Oelrichs.

HALsTEAD's CHANCE.

The way for Ohio to avenge Hal
stead's rejection is to elect him to The
senate. The Cincinnati editor is not Z
popular man at home. and wonld prob
ably cut sorry figure in the senate.
But when it comes to IN issue between
the Standard Oil company and the freq
dom Of the press. the people will moi
haggle about personal qualifications
Mr.. Halstead has now the advantage
Of posing as . martyr to popula,
cause, and If he doesn't utilize his ad
vantage to secure his election TO The
senate, he is q dumber man than VIZ
take him to be. His presence in tn.
senate cham Der at this time would b.
an awful rebuke to tho corporations

We see from the Times that the dis

mended three districts for the Black
Hills at the delegate election in May.
Why was the member from this coun-

Fall River county within the next two
years is liable to be the most populous
county in the Black Hills and it is moi
we'll to always snub her. The decision
may be all right but we would like t.
be consulted any way.

March 25, 1889.

EbfroR STAR:-This letter is written
from the now stone city, from town
that has grown one may say, in a night.
Bat for all that this new town has como
to stay. The town Of Odell is stone
city thereforesdoes not ask or want to
be the county seat. In taking a trip
upthe canyon We found things just 81
booming. Hof and burst have large
gang Of men at work building road.
They also have contracts for hauling
stone. Tho yerges company are going
70 work the quarr;ss in this canyon on
. largo scale this summer. and Kxve q
large gang Of men at work putting in'
machinery, defricks, boarding house
&c. This company has on the road .
large amount Of machinery Of tho best
and latest improved styls for qaarrYine
and cutting stone. Steam drills, saws
&c. All this.work is under the imme-
date charge Of Mr.. Chas. B. Fox who
is general manager Of thSI company, as
sisted By Chas. w. Fruke, treasurer.
Both of-these gentlemen are from Lin
coin, Neb., and are thorough stone
men that understand their Business,
who will soon have their steam saws
SGT up ready to saw ont sandstone by
the wholesale. w. N. Thorn, another
Nebraska stone-man, is also here on
the ground. A. w. Odell, one Of the Co.,
is on I flying trip to eastern Nebraska.
From the looks Of things the writer has
made up his mind that this company
mean business and that too on . large
scale. We will have more tosay about
this at another time. In the new town
We found new houses going up all
around and moro to come. A. w.
Odell has a fine large house ON Fox Ave.
and believe there are soon to be built
a store and post Office. Last Sunday
being very;pleasant, Messrs, Fox, Fluke
Odell and wife with some 16 or 1s
more Of the citizens Of Odell took a trip
to the celebrated Hot Springs; all were
pleased with their trip. A large mum.
ber Of claims have been taken near
town, and steps will soon be taken te
have school house built in the town,
and last but not least, is this: Fall
River county sandstone will soon have
a name throughout the length and
breadth Of the land, for it Is a vel
known fact that for beauty there is n,
/ sandstone on the market to-day that caz
compare with it. So with company
that have the money to put this fin
building material on the market, ther'
can be no such thing IS fail; our sand
stone boom has been sometime cominI
but guess she has struck us at last.

Buying Historical Chairs.

An incident of Gen. Sheridan's visit to
Europe during the Franco-Prussian war
is omitted from his article in the Novem-
Der Scribner's, perhaps, through ignor-
ance of the facts. When the general
reached Berlin he asked the American
minister to recommend to him some
young American, who could speak Ger
man fluently, to act as en- interpreter.
The minister recommended Mr.. Charles
F. MacLean, better known TO New
Workers as police commissioner than as
an Interpreter, and he followed Gen.
Sheridan through the campaign. The
general relates in Scribner's how Bis
marck the great and Napoleon the little
sat on rude wooden chairs in front of a
cottage near Sedan, discussing the stu
alton, and there Is picture showing the
two men. one triumphant, the other
downcast, in the peasants garden. A
few days later Gen. Sheridan dined with

There was a general laugh at this re-
mark. but one officer had more to laugh
at than the others. and gave his reasons
TO Mr.. MacIean afterward. You zee"

that the meeting would be historical. SO
the very next day rode over myself and
got the chairs for five francs for the

There are 100000 more women in
Great Britain than men. Thirty-seven
per cent. of all the women of marriage
able age in England are unmarried.
Fully one-half of the women of the edu-
Gated middle class - gentlewomen = of
marriageable age are without husbands.
Economy is the watchword of the day
abroad. British fortunes are shrinking.
Ways and means of contracting expen-
diture are every day topics in British
papers. Estates will no longer stand the
charges upon them involved in the main
tenance of such horde of maiden sis
tiers. Women unused to lifting finger
for themselves are being thrown in ever
increasing numbers on their own re-
sources. They have been brought up to
no remunerative occupation. They have
no business experience. They have no
business ideas. They shrink with pain
full sensitiveness from contact with a
rough and tumble world. There are
thousands on thousands of them.-Phila-

for the successful applicant for this lu-

tain places-of course it is not here,
but way off yonder-well no matter
where-that a dance cannot be held
without the presence Of a half dozen

ladies to dance with them-not with
the bottles, which would be prefer
able, but with their own charming y
selves. Now we have a suggestion
to make, or more properly, per-
haps, a question to ask, and it is
this, only: Can a self-respecting
Young lady afford to attend such pla-
ces? Please give it serious thought,
