An Advantageous Settlement.

Commenting upon the settlement re-
Gently effected by the joint commission
of the two Dakotas, the Sioux Falls
Press says:
South Dakota's interests have been
most admirably protectedand furthered
She has, without paying anything there
for, become full successor to the valu-
able donations made to the territory i'm
the way Of lands for every public insti.
tuition within her borders-territorial
property worth at least Sl50.000-for
instance, GAO acres donated by the gov
ernmel.t at Yankton, 100 acres donated
at Sioux Falls, and amounts ranging
from forty TO l60 acres donated at every
other point at which an institution is
located in South Dakota; while in North
Dakota similar institutions had 10 buy
and pay for their lands out of the pro-
ceeds of their bonds-notablv the
jamestown hospital, which paid $4,000.
The most important donation" made
to the territory in North Dakota was the
land on which the capitol stands-a
donation with Il string to it"-one
which reverts to the grantor when the
donation ceases TO be used for capitol
purposes-a danger which is regarded
as imminent indeed. The territory has
sold something like 100000 ofthat DON
alton, and given warranty deeds there
for-thus creating a very serious oblica-
ton upon its successor if the capital
should be removed from Bislmarck-out
from under which obligation South Da-
kota has slid without paying a cent for
the release. South Dakota gets some
thing for nothing. Furthermore, South
Dakota has rellved herself Of any La
bility existing asainstl the territory on
account of the Northern Pacific railroad
lands-a liability estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. She has relieved
herself from any claim that her institu-
tons have received more money from
general territorial funds, III the way of
permanent improvements, than have
North Dakota institutions. She has re-
lieyed herself from any contingent
claim or liability of any sort, arising
from succession to the territorial condi-
ton. She has secured all This for The
comparativelv paltry sum Of $4,000.
Most certainly, a body Of representa-
tives that can accomplish such results
by such inconsidcrable outlay is entitled
to congratulation."

Roplng n Mountain Lion.

mountain lion, by cowboys in that
locality:
"Wild animals are still raising havoc
among stock owners east and northeast
Of here. A subscriber of the Herald
writes US hat on last Wednesday while
he and a companion were crossing at
the head Of Vantassell creek, they es-
pied four mountain lions that seemed to
be watching a small group of horses
which was grazing toward them. The
boys were not observed by the lions. so
they got in ambush to watch the actions
of the hungry brutes. They had not
long to wait before their animosity was
excited. When the horses had grazed

she gave a great bound in the air and

The Meade County Times in a late
issue is exceedingly LIQUID in its abuse OF
Judge Moody. The Judge pays no at
tention whatever to the abuse that is
being weekly dished up by the Times
and other Black Hills papers. 1t is
scarcely possible that the Judge has i'm
bibeG serious alarm from the sources
indicated, but on the other hand his
persistent silence would rather indicate,
that in his judgment, such illusions
were, in their general tendency, more
beneficial than detrimental to his poll
teal interests and the Judge may be
right in such conclusion who eau tell ?
In any event, all will admit that the
Judge is no fool ever his enemies adj

the Judge is misled in the view he has
evidently taken, with reference TO the
moral effect resulting from the publica-
ton Of the abusive articles referred 20.
