Mr.. c. A. Marshall, of RAPID City, a
practical brick maker, was in the city
this week. During a call at the STAR
office he stated that he was here look
ing over the ground to ascertain the
feasibility and practib,lity of establish
ing u brick yard at this place. There
is no doubt but there is good brick
clay here and there is no doubt Of the
local demand for that product.
The public debate this evening in N.
e. Church on the subject OF TRUSTS"
will doubtless he both useful and anus.
ing. Those who lave engaged to
speak on the affirmative, that trusts

Judge Wood furnished the informa-
ton that +. NJ. Vroman, of this county,
had received adyices from Washington
to the effect that the report of surveys
in this county had been p%igeon-holcd
because Of some irregularities in the
work. 1t is TO be hoped that the cor.
rections will be made at as early a date
as possible, that the patient settlers in
that portion of the county may ge,
some tangible interest in the land.
they have held by squatter's right Sc
long.
I've stepped into j. W. Pixies photo
graph rooms the other day and fount
that he had been taking a number Of
views lately of Hot Springs and vicin
ity. He has also been up at Custer
and has some fine views of that place
Among his views is one showing thu
steam arising from Fall River. Sucl
work can not be done except with first
class instruments, manipulated by a,
artist who understands his work. TIL
result is highly complimentary to Mr.
Pike.
The latest with regard to the lottar,
scheme is i'll a dispatch of Feb. 18th ii
the Sioux City Journal, as follows: A
runor is current tonight that tn,
friends of the lottery bill will intro
duce II new measure tomorrow, TO pro
: vide for the payment to ths state o.
S2250,000 per year instead Of $4,000
One of the strongest opponents of TIT
t measure said he thought the repor
correct and feared the result, as lie di,
not think the lottery people woul,
3 make another attempt unless absolute
ly sure of their ground. Others thinl
there is nothing III the rllnor.
The STAR is under Obligations t
\ Representative GODDARD for il copy .
, house bill no 260, which is an .'act t
: establish a uniform system of publ
education in the State of South Dakot
and to repeal all previous Legislation
relating thereto" The STAR has ba
t occasion to refer to this bill before an,
a full text of the proposed law has no
in any way caused us to change on
mind upon the subject. There is to
much machinery about the plan.
4 provides FOR the expenditure of money
where there cannot he an adequate IL
turn therefor. But the princlpa, oil
a lection to The bill is that it is based ur
on the wrong system. Bring on
schools close to the people.
