The Capitol investment Company of
W oonsocket seem tc be gaining ground
every day, yet, their final action will
determine whether they will cut anyl
figure in the location Of the capitol.
Should the leaders, that is, the pur-
chasing committee, purchase land !
where they think .aey will reap the !
most cash without consulting the
wishes Of a minority of the stock hold
ers, then their efforts will be of no
avail. Shonld the committee take the
matter into their own hands and buy
property in Sioux Falls, or any other
eastern location, the stock holders will
let thbir stock go and will vote for the
place nearest them, or some point to
the westward If the managers wish
to carry the stock holders with them.I
they will select q central location, sas
Pierre, or some new location where
land can be bought cheap, as Wessiny-
non Springs

in the state. Thousands of acres of
land in close proximity u the
Springs that can be used fYr town
purposes and fine tract that can be
secured, the benefits of which will &C
crue to the state, and in the midst of
are fine capitol grounds. From these
we can see lat. Vernon, AlEena VOL
sey. Huron, Mitchell, Le,cher, and
Woonsocket. These are but a moiety
OF the advantages possessed by the
tSprings and the country about them
in favor OF this place for the capitol
| Beadle county commissioners receive
the following report cot cernine an
artesian well in that county:
We, at YOUR request nave examined
carefully, the fields through which the
artesian water at Hitchcock runs, and
have noted the effect upon grass AMI
grain We find that on each side OF
the ditch the effect is seeu for q dis
lance of from four to SIX rods, accord
ing TO the depth Of the ditch, and that
the yield Of grain will be from so to
100 per cent better in said tract; that
| all ground that Was flooded in the
! spring by the water from the ditch
will yield from % to so per cent more
grain; also that the grain is green and
that the hsad Is filling plump to the
tip and that the dry weather and hot
winds have not affected it in the least
and that the water has the same good
effect upon tho grass land through
which it runs
At prohibition meeting in Sioux
Falls last week Rev. Clough is report
ed as saying: 1.-The other night here
in Sioux Falls you allowed man to
be egged," said the speaker, growing
somewhat excited, "and then you offer
ed a reward. But your officers won't
catch that rascal nor will thoy try to.
We have reached O point in South
Dakota where Sioux Falls can't run
the whole state. Just because you are
saloon Domineered here you may think
it is true all over South Dakota, but it
ain't. If you are going to defeat pro-
hibition here let me know it, and /
pledge myself to tell the story in fifty
cities and towns in the state, and will
guarantee to drive away from you
5000 votes for the capital"

good sense at the Sioux Fails conven-
ton by refusing to go into q proposed
con- bination to defeat Judge Edgerton

with MIR, Ramsey, takes pleasure in
announcing the fact that he is MAX
ing a good record in tho constitutional
convention, and one that reflects credit
upon our town and country.-Wcor-
