WEATHER ITEM.

The 9th day of January, and the
writer of this article, minus his coat, is
sitting in an Office, without fire, a
window open near and the front door
standing ajar within six feet of him!
Can any country on this terrestrial BALI
equal the glorious climate of these grand
Black Hills? We are of the opinion that
none can do it. To find climate super
ior would be to discover heaven upon
earth.
We have had week or ten days of
cold ather-beautiful, sunny days
the mercury reaching sixteen degrees be-
low in one instance. Not more than one
or two days Of this entire winter have
been disagreeable. We have been
favored as have been no other sections of
the north. The eastern states had their
usual blizzards and gales. The south
has been visited by drenching rain
storms. The Pacific slope has had its
alternating rains and SHOWS. The Black
Hills in the meantime have maintained
their magnificent reputation for glor-i
ious winter weather. Surely the Hills
are the greatest winter resort in the
country.
We are ON the tropical-temperate belt.
We can grow the bananas of the Baham-
as and the No. l. hard wheat of our
northern sister state; the orange:of Flor
ida and the ice cream freezer of Michi-
gan; the luscious peach of Delaware
and the festive cocktail and Roman
punch of the older prohibition states;
the sugar cane of Louisiana and the
husky, hardy steer of doubtful age that
passes himself off on an innocent Chicago
public as delicate and juvenile steerlet;
the cotton of Mississippi and the cotton
tail Of South Dakota. All these things
can we raise and more too, as our Off
cials in Pierre and Washington will dis
cover if they do not give us what we
want. 'Tis great piece of furniture,
these Black Hills. They cannot be
beaten. Hurrah for the Hills.

ties are as follows: First offense, 5000
to 800 and imprisonment not less than
80 days nor more than one year; the
second and each succeeding offense is
treated as felony, with punishment by
imprisonment in state prison for not ex-
ceeding two years and not less than one

registered pharmacists to sell for medic
inal, mechanical, scientific and sacrament
tai purposes. All places where intoxi-
icating liquors are sold are declared nui-
sances and the sheriff is empowered to
arrest owners and destroy all intoxicants
and fixtures therein. The states attorney
is expected TO prosecute violators OF the
law, and, if any attorney is convicted Of
a refusal to prosecute such violations, he
may be confined in jail for thirty days.
Great Britain demands satisfaction of
this government for outrages committed
upon a citizen Of its country while living
in South Carolina. The Eng]ishman in
the case was roughly handled on ac-
count of his friendship for certain blacks
abused and punished for political activ-
ity. 1t is to be hoped that Harrison
and Blaine will quickly grant the satis-
faction asked, as it is about time some
one should be able to obtain protection
in that state. If our own citizens cannot
be given protection there for heavens
sake protect the foreigners or we may be
made to do SO.
Judge Jewett scored decided hit the
other day when in conversation with the
editor of the Tilford Times. The editor
remarked that any man who takes a
county office only awaits the opportunity
to steal all he can get. The affable
Judge replied: "How fortunate for the
people of Meade county you did not
succeed in obtaining the Office to which
you aspired." Ill! The conversation
terminated at that point.
Judge Nowlin of the Seventh circuit
has decided that there is no vacancy ex-

a democrat. This is the only decision of
the kind in South Dakota. It's validity
will be tested by the supreme court in
February.

The Proper Answers.

see you appear willing to give con-
siderable of your space to the pub
Usher of the post Office organ (the Reg
ister), and are showing up in good
shape some of his inconsistencies and
political tricks. Your farmer readers
are doubtless not much interested in
the sayings and writings of a man
whose lifetime has been spent in
political intrigue and party wire-pull-
ing; they have other matter of more
Importance to look after. With your
permission though, I would like to
answer briefly some of the questions
propounded by that policy sheet last
week in its article commenting on the
course of the Atchison Champion,
(Republcan-ED.) in opposing ingalls,.

Senator ingalls, done?" Skinned few
copperheads, drew his salary regular

feathered his nest in excellent shape.
"Only this and nothing MORE"
'What is the estimate of the United
States senate of Senator Ingalls?'' The
republican branch evidently think him
holy terror, and are willing to cater to
his ambition for self-aggrandizement
with the hope that he can still wheedle
his state into giving big majorities fol-

Mr.. EAsLEY, of Hutchinson, is
working up big convention to urge
upon congress the passage of the Will
son law, assigning to each state power
to prevent the sale of liquor from
another state. In view of the danger
GUS consequences to trade which would
follow the Wilson innovation, it would
be better for Mr.. Easley and his
friends to inculcate personal habits of
temperance. The pharaseical principle
of legislating on private habits and say
ing to the citizens of state 1--WE are
holier than you and will take charge
of your eating and drinking has pro-
duced its crop of absudities. Let them
go with the sweepings of the original
package decision. Municipal revenue
from liquor sales is regularly collected
in AtcNson and Wichita without con-
cealment, and in all the large towrs
regularly or irregularly. 1t is good
time to abandon the farce Of prOhibi
tion and keep laws within the limits OF
common sense and practicability.-

To judge by the number of headers
sold this spring, the farmers have a
bountiful crop of wheat. About one
hundred machines were sold in the
east end of the county, and every
farmer who bought one has a good
stand of grain. The harvest has COM

are busy reaping the harvest they have

AS to furnishing the probate judge

both Clafiin and Clarence had better
await their time. The alliance ticket
is not machine made, and politicians
have no chance to make states before
hand. The ticket will be the com.
