SURE CURE.

The devastating ravages of la grippe
among newspaper men is such that unless
immediate steps be taken to check it, the
state legislature can receive no more
pointers and will have 10 adjourn; the
loaning companies with mortgage sales to
advertise will have "relapse' from mat
tention sour delegation will look in vain
for the customary-[applaaseI; the rail-
road conductors will wonder what has be.
come of the "non transferable" tickets; H.
l.. Loucks will think an ominous silence
bodies him no good and capital towns
may have the gail to again solicit votes
with maps containing proposed railroads" :"
As all Of these calamities suddefly thrust
upon an unsuspecting public would be
worse than ''destitution" or another option
on the smile square," the PRESS rushes to
the rescue. This prescription will knock
ths grippe galIey-west, and permit the
world 80 reyolve in the light of liberty and
intelligence once more:

THE RESERVATION.

Ft. Pierre Herald:--"The Hand County
Press comes to us this week greatly inn
proved in typographical appearance. The
Press Is a good representative paper but
10 don't think much of the Reservation
country. Miller is bound to catch the Ft.
Pierre fever though as all intermediate
points have. The fever is rapidly spread
ing as eviuced by the kick Of many of our
exchanges"
The Herald man Is only human. When
anyone gets so ardently in favor of a cer-
tain question. all opposed to 1t are "kick-
ers, and facts cut small figure in the
discussion of it. The PRESS was, to say
the least, very tair in its recent article
concerning the reservation. We accepted
the statement Of reservation enthusiasts
that the land soon to be opened was as
good as any other Dakots land, and ar
gued that that fact, admitted. was no in
ducement for Hand county people to
cross the river simply to find the same
land. climate. or advantages OF any kind
they had found here years ago Our es-
tsemed contemporary over the river will
please take note that this stubborn fact is
not controverted by classing the PRESS
among ''Eickers."
