Prohibition: lts Enforcement.
Vermillion Republican.

In anticipation of the early tax
ing effect Of the p%rohibitory law, a
brewery and y few saloons are pre-
pairing to establish business on the
Nebraska side of the Missouri river
opposite Yankton. There are others
who seem TO think that they will be
allowed to sell liquor without mo-
lestation. While some are inclined
to think that laws cannot be enact
ed to take effect before July, 1890.
John R. Gamble, one of the alb
lest attorneys in South Dakota, and
who was strongly opposed to the
adoption of the prohibition clause,
is authority for the statement that
the Territorial laws are sufficient to
reach all violators. He said:
"If I were in in the sal Don bust
ness I would close up Just as soon
as the president issues his procla-
nation"
Some of the anti Prohibitionists
have thought Of contesting the le-
gality of the election On the
ground that a separate ballot
box was required in voting upon
this question. Representative Spring
er, who framed the enabling act,
was called upon for an opinion on
this question, and replied that the
election was legal.
The best legal talent of the State
has been sought on this prohibition
in its many phases, and the con-
clusion is given that with the ad-
mission OF South Dakota by presi-
dental proclamation, the State con-
stitution prohibits the liquor traffic,
and all licenses become void, even
though they were granted until Jan.
|. Pending the enactment Of laws
for fulfilling constitutional provis-
ions, all the territorial laws not re-
pugnant to the constitution, are con-
tinued in force.

A. Described by David Aekssson IN
1Q11.

Washington had large thick nose, aad
+ was very red that day. giving me the
impression that he was not so moderate IN
the use Of liquors a. he vas supposed to
be. found afterward that this was =
popularity. His nose was apt to turn
scarlet in a cold wind. He MAS standing
near small camp fire. evidently Lost in
thought and making no effort to keep
warm. He seemed six feet and . halt in
height, was az erect as an Indian, aud did
not for a moment relax from military
attitude
Washington's exact height W - six feet
two inches in his boots He was then .
little lame from striking his knee against
a tree. His eye WAS so gray that it looked
almost white, and he had u troubled look
on his eoloriess face. He had piece Of
wooden tied around his throat and was
quite hoarse. Perhaps the throat trouble
from which he finally died had its origin
about then.
WashiDgton's boots were enormous.
"rtt w Iits
shoes were No. II. His hands were large
in proportion, and he could not buy
glove to fit him and had to have his gloves
made to order. Hi. mouth was his strong
feature, the lips being always tightly
compressed. That day they were CON-
pressed 80 tightly as TO be-painful to look
at.
