PIERRE, S. d., March S.-The fact
has dawned on the minds of Pierre peo-
pie since last Saturday with stunning
force that this city has firm clutch on
the top shelf of first-class boom. Such
is the fact and it cannot he con troverted.
These lines are not written to give to
the public sort of lingo ring.
but can be proved by the hard
facts. With the arrival of the first
news of the passage of the Sioux bill have
come strangers from almost every city
and town west of the Minnesota line,
and many more from the Twin Cities"
and elsewhere. TO bear out this asser-
ton the records show that on Monday
of this week Pierre real estate to the
amount of Sol, 1876 was sold; ON Tues
day the sum reached SS5, 400, and on
"Wednesday the sum total of the days
sales amounted to over 100000. with
an increase each day since. If this is
not in the nature of boom the man up
tree would be pleased to know what
Is. Speculation is running riot over
Plerre's many flats and additions, while
the real estate agent has shaken from
his garments the dust of long inactivity,
and is rustling for dear life to keep
ON IdE BAND WAGON.
When Cleveland signed the reserva-
one of his last official acts that he was
something of a boomer himself, and
started the ball rolling in Pierre. But
the question has been asked, will the
present bill open the reservation in the
end? Hon. John J. kiliner has inst re
turned from Washington, where he has
been all winter in the interests of this
bill, and he says it has met all the re-
quirementS eXacted by DR.. Bland and
the Indians Defense association he rep
resents, and that they have pledged
themselves to work and use all the DOW
er at their command to influence Poor
LO to accept IFS provisions. He was
also cogniZant of the fact that many of
went there to serve other interests,
SECRETLY WORKED
against the measure and threw many
instructions i'll its way, and that the
fight was hard one until it was fin
iShed.
Pierre extends her hand of fellowship
across the great Sioux to her Black
Hills neighborS and wishes them a re-
turn of all the prosperity that is in store
for us. and that before that region casts
her 5000 votes Pierre-ward for the
capitol, the Dig barrier between them
will be removed forever. This will
come about before the October election,
which now slaves off the capital contest
for Pierre until the reservation, allow
ing fair time for red-tape process, can
be entered and held by the white men.
With the opening of the reservation. a
100000 Indian school to be built and a
capital of state now in her clutch.
Pierre Is spreading her nets to catch all
that is waited this way by the winds of
prosperity the coming year and many
more to follow. She has made her name
in the past by a pluck that knew no
failure in the face of adversely. and at
the eleventh hour of her discourage
ment, the dawn of prosperity has come.
No stone will now be left unturned to
make her all that is implied in the
name she goes by, that of the Future
Great"
