Much Indignation is expressed at Huron
by the discovery that very limited sup
ply Of fuel Is in the hands Of the local
dealers, there not being enough wood
and hard coal 10 last four days even
should the present fms weather con.
tinue, and In the event OF heavy snow or
severe cold many would be caught with
ont fuel. Orders from small towns could
not be filed. There is very little coal in
any OF the bins along the Northwestcrfi
west or north. Dealers give as an ex-
cnse for the shortage that the railroad
companies have needed the cars to carry
out wheat and bring in merchandise,
and have neglected to haul fuel, Sep
tcmber orders for fuel have not ret been
led.-Special, f2.
IT now looks - II the enforcement
league Of the state would furnish ma
tcrial for the courts for IN indefinite
time. A circular has been issued BY
President William Fielder, of the South
Dakota Enforcement league, urging the
organization to at once open war upon
salOonkccpers and violators Of the pro-
hibition law Of the state. The circular
Is very emphatic and SAYS that any
mayor, states attorney, sheriff, marshal,
policeman or other officer who fails or
ncglects to do his whole duty in carrying
int6 effect the provisions Of the state
liquor law will be requested to resign.
The decisions Of Judges Shirss and Cald-
well OF the United States circuit court
arc quoted to the effect that the law Is In
full and complete force to-day snd ap-
plies to every sale Of liquor within its
purview, including original packages,
and will be vigorously and impxrtiaily
applied In South Dakota.
As THE result OF cave In the Dead
wood mine near Terraville two lives were
lost, j. w. Baldwin and Will Mogle.
The latter was killed instantly while the
former lived over al hour after the acci-
dent They were single men and were
working together as partners. They
had just finished chambering . hole pre-
paratory to blasting, and one of them
went to the magazine for powder, the
other remaining, and just rs they were
bnrying them beneath mass Of bouiders
and loose rock.
COLLECroRs have doubtless noticed
the great number of 81 and $e bills there
are in circulation here this month. Last
month silver dollars were plentiful, but
this month the paper currency has taken
their place. The capital fight Is what
did II. Most Of the money paid out for
votes blunt statement. but true-was
in these bills. One gentleman says he
saw one man paay out $500 In 81 and q
bills. The bills were easier to handle in
such delicate business and were thus
most popular. It would be hard to pin
silver dollar to ticket, but less diff
cult In the case Of . bill. Hence the
-Siouz Falls Ayg,.s-Lcader, 10.
THERE are ninety-six persons In the
Sioux Falls penitentiary, there being
only one woman In the prison, which
certainly speaks well for woman as Z
law abiding person. Owing to the prison
having no contract on hand for work,
tho prisoners are idle. A great deal OF
the summer work hes been in the prison
quarry blasting out stone for the wall
around tho prison. Most Of the appro-
priation, g., 600, has been used already
in the furnishing Of the quarry. A new
mode Of tactics has been adopted with
reference to the exercise OF the prison
ers. An hour and half Is devoted to
military drill, special efforts being made
in the foot movements. This has af-
forded . great relief 10 the prisoners,
and on pleasant days they are marched
out on the gravel walk and given good
march.
THE loss by Tuesdays 6re at Sioux
Falls Is now placed at 823, 600 to 925, 900
with total insurance Of 310, 500. There
