Punching His Ticket,

They were telling experiences the
other night, and Col. Granniss told one
of his. He made the trip through the
southern country here just after the road
had been opened. The festive cowboy
had just begun to enjoy the sport Of
running the train in the rough region,
and at one of the stations formidable
specimen of that tough human boarded
the cars The conductor came along
punching the tickets, and this cowboy
did not pay any attention to him. At
last tho conductor laid his hand on the
cowboys shoulder and said, "Ticket
please" Tho cowboy turned in true
cowboy style, pulled out his revolver
and pointed it at the conductor.
"Here's my ticket"
The conductor walked on and punched
everybody else's coupon. Then he dis
appeared. The little incident had been
forgotten by almost everybody on the
car The cowboy was in quiescent
state and the car was quito still when
the conductor came in. He walked leis-
urely up the aisle and suddenly stopped
before the wboy, placed q great big
knife dangerously contiguous to his vital
part and said, quietly:
s'Lemme see that ticket again"
Tho cowboy paid his fare.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Huronite; Just how county govern
ments are to be supported in the re-
gion now occupied as the Sioux reser-
vation when it shall have been opened
to settlement is not clear. The law
provides that the lands shall be sub
ject to homestead entry only, and that
the settlers must live upon the land for
five years, and then pay S1.25 per acre
for it. Now the question naturally
arises as to what property is to be
taxed to pay the expense of county
government, schools, etc. 1t is certain
that any attempt to raise any consider
able sum from the taxing of personal
property will only result in failure,
and as real estate can not be taxed un-
til the claimant has title, it looks as
though there might be peculiar circum-
stances in connection with the opening
of the reservation.

Deafness Cart be Cured

by local application. as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the eus-
tachian tube. When the tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will bo destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ton are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an iniiam-
ed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give five hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catar-
rh) that we can not cure by taking

lars, free.

The future of Mitchell will be very
largely shaped by the history and the
events of the year 1889. 1t will be we'll
for our citizens to bear this constant.
ly In mind. AS every man is to
great extent the architect of his own
fortune, so is every city the author of
its own destiny. AS boy may never
arrive at strong, vigorous and well
developed manhood unless during the
earlier years of his life he is given the
advantages which are necessary to the
accomplishment of this end, so is it
ever with the upbuilding of great
cities. This year will be worth more
to the future of Mitchell than the next
five years. In fact it may not be es-
timated the benefit which should be
derived from an united, energetic and
intelligent effort on the part OF our
citizens at this critical period in the
history of our city. There are null
! titude of interests which demand i'm
mediate attention. The territory is to
don the habiliments of statehood: a
constitution is to be adopted; state Of
1cers are to be elected; {; temporary
capital is to be located. In all these
affairs the city of Mitchell has y vital
Interest, and she should be represent
ed by strong men and good men-not
men who are good citizens merely, but
by men of experience and judgment
fearless, trustworthy, shrewd and re-
liable: men of positive convictions,
and who esteem no labor too arduous
which will tend to the advancement of
the best interests of this city. Let US
lay aside all fact1onal interests and
work for the common good of all con-
cerned. No city in the new state pos
sesses greater natural advantages than
this. 1t is we'll born and has strong,
robust and symmetrical development
thus far, but the time has come in
which it needs the best efforts OF its
citizens, and we are confident that
such efforts will not be Withheld.

An Editors Resolution.

Iowa Falls Citizen: Having given
the subject considerable thought of
late the Citizen editor has come to the
conclusion that, let come what may,
he will not in the future so demean
himself as to enter into any contro-
yersy with contemporary that shall
be in the least tinged with personalities.
If brother editor sees fit TO attack
the personal character of the Citizen
editor he shall be ignored as not
worthy of notice, believing that If
harm comes to anybody by such at
tacks it will not be to the person at
tackled. but rather to the attacking
party.

There is probably no question which
Is agitating the minds of the western
farmers more than that of the increase
in prices of binding twine, and thereis
no subject which is SO little under
stood except it be the tariff-(and
which, by the way, cuts no little fig
ure in the discussion of this same
question: Binding twine is manu-
factured chiefly from manila and sis.
al, both of which are not and cannot
be successfully grown in the United
States, and yet there is tariff impos-
ed upon its importation of-as we re-
member-about 25 per cent. This of
course operates to raise the price just
that much above what it would other
wise command. This, however, is
simply incidental, as the tariff is not
at present higher than it has been
hereto fore. But the demand for these
products has increased during the
past few years almost beyond concep-
tion. During the past year there has
been shipped to this country $4,000
bales, as against only $4,000 bales dur
ing the year previous. OF course the
demand largely rules the price, and
yet in this caseit has not governed it
In the absolute. lns18SS the Water
bury and national Cordage Company
and several others, anticipating short

K and though there are trusts in almost
every branch of business, it does not
necessarily follow from the increased
cost of twine that there is any trust

1t Looks That Way.

Sioux City Journal: Sioux Falls is
not sweating itself to secure the loca
tion of the capital at Mitchell or at
Huron or at Pierre. Istherefore Sioux
Falls-to use the logic of the Sioux
Falls Argus-Leader-the enemy of
South Dakota because it wants the
capital for Sioux Fails?

1t speaks very we'll for John j. In
gals popularity that when in choos-
ing president pro tenn, a few days
since the democrats were found to
have-a majority in the senate, by rea-
son of republican absences, they (the
democrats) refused to put up candid
ate against him. But ingalls, voted
against the confirmation Of Murat
Halstead and for this he will not soon
be forgiven.

South Oak ota's arbor day, April oath
is near at hand, and it is to be earnest
ly hoped that the people of the new
state will still further demonstrate
their enterprise and public-spiritedness
by a general observance of this occasion.
Make your arrangements with reference
to this matter. 1t is of the greatest
importance that you should do so
Even Minnesota, which is perhaps the
most favored of any of the western
states in the possession of groves of
natural timber, feels the necessity of
setting apart one certain day every
year to be devoted to the sole purpose
of increasing her supply of timber, and
if Minnesota has need of work IN this
direction, how much more Dakota?
Perhaps it might not be out of place
just here to offer criticism upon the
manner in which arbor day was OBJ
served by many last year. 1t seemed
to the writer that there was too
much of disposition to be Pharisai-
cal in the matter. Many planted one,
two or half dozen trees with the view
of conforming to the custom of the
day, and thought no more about it.
The result is, that the country is little
better off today than if they had failed
entirely in its observance, Possibly it
is worse off, for doubtless many not
ing the failure in the growth and de-
velopment of these trees will attribute
it to the unfavorable conditions of soil
or climate and so will be deferred from
making an effort in this direction. Re-
member that what is worth doing is
worth doing well, and if any good re-
suits are to be derived from these
efforts they must be made IN the proper
spirit and then followed up with a de-
termination to make them productive
of good. BY strict observance of
this rule great benetits may be expected
without no good result can possibly
follow. Be as systematic and formal
as you wish and the more unity of pur-
pose and work the better, but do not
let your efforts cease with this day.
Take every possible precaution, both
before planting and after, to give the
trees an opportunity for growth and
development, that you may see and
enjoy the fruits of your Jabors in after
vnars
