Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1889-06-26

Thank God the Farmers alliance is
not composed of as big pack of fools
as some would have the public believe.
Contrary to expectations, and the en-
deavors Of certain would-be leaders, the
farmers of Dakota refused to organize a
third party and enter the campaign with
an alliance ticket, but resolved to make
their fights within the ranks of their own
old parties. This is a mostsensible con-
clusion. II the parties Of the farmers
are not what they should be they can
be purified easily by the farmers them
selves. They have the strength. If,
however, mistakes are made; if men are
nominated for Office who should not be;
il measures inimical to our new states
Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1889-06-26

over to the grand jury. This was mis-
take. The court discharged him.
At the annual summer camp of the
department of Dakota to be held on the
Upper Little Missouri river twenty six
companies will be represented, included
in which will be five troops of the Sth
cavalry and three companies Of the 3rd
infantry Of Fort Meade
Grabill, the photographer, is charging
his already world-renowned Black Hills
views to uniform size, viz: 11x14
inches. Although enlarged they will be
perfect in every detail. He will visit
Sturgis and Fort Meade soon perhaps
next week-and take views of the city
and post from several different positions.
It is needless for us to expatiate upon
his work. Tt is too well known to all.
The cir-curious has sheen and gone"
The ADVERTISER called the turn. Seven
men, a boy and an elephant regaled the
assembled populace in the afternoon by
giving what they called street parade.
The parade was noted for what it didn't
have rather than what it did. The usual
country 'feller" and his girl were on
hand eating peanuts and gingerbread.
Ancient, gray bearded men. with one
foot in the grave and the other in a sa-
loon, lined the sidewalks in order to
catch glimpse of the grand pageant.
The elephant, itself, attracted but little
attention. The reason for this is, prob
ably, because the majority of Black Hills
people have 'seen the elephant before.
Perhaps it was because SO many have an
elephant on their hands, for instance, a
neighboring newspaper man who, in
fit of mental alteration, stirred up Free
man Knowles. Before "Freem" settles
down again we are liable to have big
ger circus.

Railroad Building In the South.

We pointed out the other day, from
an article In the Railroad Age, that
the greatest activity In railroad build.
Ing Is In the South. The coinpanles
have had enough of extending their
lines into the wild West, in expacla-
ton OF future population there, and
tnd 1t decidedly better to try their
fortunes III the SJuth, whore business
already awaits them; and, therefore, ~
the Age shows, nearly half ofths mile
age proposed Is south OF the Ohio.
While we hear ttat there Is to be
less railroad building than last year,
the lines Under way in the South prove
that In this section At lsast, there wilt
be no lst up In the activity that has
prevailed. Qaite the contrary, there
Will be more mileage laid than during
any previous year.
Here Ia Louisiana, there is great &C.
tivity Just at present. The people are
giving the railroads every assistsuce
in their power, and the latter appear
to appreciate this good will and TO
have confidence In this section. t'''"

Mississippi Valley (Judge IL. j.

way to traverse the parishes of M0re>

sample of the good Will OF the people
Is the action taken In Calcasieu parish,
the other day, giving the Kansas City,
Watkins and Gull Railroad bonus In
the way Of remission OF taxes for alteer
years, assuring this Important tino.
These are but a few of the roads pro-
posed or under way to which attention
has been lattcriy called, because of
some action taken in regard 10 them
In the last few days.
1t is quito evident that whstever
lull there may be In railroad building,
1t does not prevail In the South; that

new lines in this section, and are con-
tinuing to build them rs actively as
ever.

Since the death OF John Bright the
story told by the late artist Frank
Hoil Is revived: When Mr.. Holl was
taking the portrait OF Bright. the latter
said, iH speaking Of Gladstone: "To
think that after we have trodden the
same path together, shoulder to sboui-
der, and hand in hand, we should be
forced apart in the evening OF our
lives. DO you know, Mr.. uoll, Il
seriously fear that my dear old friends
mind has really become radically
undermined When HoIl was paIni-

was made to Mr., Bright. 'Ah!, said
Mr.. Gladstone, tand how did you find

cruel blow to be divided on so clear
question after life time of mutual

otd friend which would lead you to
believe that his reason was becoming
in any way unhingeb.'
