Mrs. Annie Louise Hof gave a unique
entertainment TO the Sioux chiefs at her
home 1913 Rhode Island avenue, last
night. Fifteen OF the braves chaperon-
ed by Agent Mclaughlin were prelent.
Last summer Mrs. Hoff was very de-
lightfully entertained by the Indians at
the Sioux reservation and she took ad-
vantage of their presence at this time to
reciprocate the courtesy they had ex-
tended TO her. The Misses Hank of
Boston, who are guests of Mrs. Hoff
delighted the Indians with their cornet
playing. They were also well pleased
with Mr.. Krutch's piano manipulation,
though in the softer passages it was
illustrated that music has charms TO
sooth the savage breast" for several of
the big men were lulled into a gentle
sleep. After the music the Indians had
a Christmas tree. There we're hand
kerchiefs, bright ~scarfs, tobacco pouches
and silk handkerchiefs to delight the
heart of each and every brave, and to
form a pleasant souvenir of their Fl st
social recognition. After the tree they
had an elaborate supper. John Grass
sat at the head OF the table. The braves
sat down in a rush when supper was an
nounced, and they cleared the table in
short order.-WashIngton Special.

Don't Want Them Closed.

In the press of the 22j | notice an ar
ticle using my name for authority for a
proposition to temporarily close two of
our educational institutions as a meas
ure of economy. | am puzzled to know
how this got into the papers in this
shape, for it is not in accord with my
opinion. l have heard the proposition
discussed and it is probable that | have
spoken Of it somewhere, but l am not in
favor of closing any of the public
educational institutions. / don't think
it the fair and wise way of dealing with
the financial problem. Even if there
should be little demand for an institution
now, congress has made a large grant Of
land to each with the expectation that
it shall be sustained, and doubt if We
have a legal right to close any one of
those named in the omnibus bill. The
running expenses of all may be cut, and
probably will be but | believe all must
be kept open. The grants of land for
the future maintenance OF these schools
reaches nearly 100000 acres. If this
land is wisely selected and managed, in
a few years these schools will be nearly
self -sustaining ~Sixty-four sections are
already located. There are several
hundred thousand acres east of the Mi
souri, river yet open, and a much greater
area west of the river, outside the res
ervations. These lands will be selected
and located this summer, probably, and
if We can run our schools for the next
two orthree years, after that the expense
will be constantly lessened.-J. Ill.

The Way.

The agitation in certain quarters of
the prohibition question, makes timely
the observations of a gentleman who
recently visited Davenport, Iowa. the
place described by ID. C. Bell as whiskey
soaked, though in a prohibition state.
The experiences of this gentleman
makes plain the modus-operandi of the
law evaders of Davenport. Dropping
into Q saloon connected with a hotel the
gentleman noticed what appeared to be
a printed license framed and hung be-
hind the bar. and upon his expressing
surprise at the open way in which the
business was conducted was Indignantly
informed by the bar tender that the
saloon was legally selling liquor under
a license. Consulting an old business
acquaintance wholesale boot and shoe
dealer ard a prohibitionist, reared i'm
the old Maine nursery and grated on to
Iowa prohibition stock-he was inform
ed that there was no sentiment in Iowa
to back the law, that so or 80 per cent Of
the population wanted open saloons,
and that the city government in re-
Spouse to this feeling had voted to issue
victualers licenses for 500 a piece with
the understanding that the sale of IL
quors was. not to be interferred with.
This was the way in which the Iowa
prohibitionists had "ontlawed" the II
quor traffic in Davenport-Minneapolis

North Dakota politics are in their
normal condition. Deprived of the
modifying influence of the presence of
South Dakota politicians, who have al
ways held the north down to some
semblance of propriety, the various ele-
ments within that state are engaged in a
free for all monkey and parrot time.
Accusations of bribery. corruption,
breach of faith and general cussedness
emanate from all quarters, and if the
legislature carries out its announced in
ton to fully and fearlessly investigate
the numerous alleged iniquities, there
will not be enough Of them left free
from the faint of suspicion to constitute
an investigating committee. The wrath
of the defeated senatorial candidates
find vent in charges of henious viola
tons Of the laws of morality and the
state, and parties charged are retaliating
with counter charges. 1t is not strange
that Jud Ia Moure. in his wrath against
Ordway, should go back to the days OF
lSSl-S2-S3-S4. Upon the tablets of his
memory the record of Ordwayism is
written and he draws from a prolific
fount. LaAloure knows a great deal
about Ordway and does not need TO
depart from the truth to create a sensa-
tion.-Yankton Press.

Mining Outlook.

The Spearfish Register has the follow.
ing concerning the mining outlook in
the Black Hills
Never has the mining outlook of the
Hills looked brighter than it does at
this time, except possibly during the
stock boom of three years ago. But, I'M
like that the feeling now is a hca thy
one, free from any excitement or fever
ishness. founded on the proper appli-
cation of science to the reduction of our
mountains of low grade ores. Two
weeks ago we chronicled the innitial
run of the new pyrites smelling in
Deadwood, the result of which has been
kept a profound secret but the fact
that its promoters have been looking
over the Bald Mountain aud Ruby dis
tricts, examining their possibilities and
acquiring interests, coupled with the
additional fact that quantities cf both
ore and pyrites have been contracted
for another run, would indicate that
the management Is satisfied with the
experiment.
The last run or the Iron Hill smelter
on the pyrites plan was the most success
full and satisfactory yet made, and the
plant will be blown in again to day or
in the fore part Of the week for a long
run, the experimental stage having been
passed. We are assured that the Iron
Hill alone has ore enough in sight to
keep the plant in blast for two years.
The change from the pyritic to the lead
principles Of smelling in this plant has
been found to be SO easily made, that
as fast as lead ores accumulate they will
be treated.
"The COLONIZATION plant in Deadwood
is so nearly completed that it, too, will
be adding its quota to the bullion out
put o ftbe Hills early in the new year.
There will be no experiment on its pro-
bable success, the principle having been
thoroughly and satisfactorily establihed
by Col. Keith's COLONIZATION plant at
Garden City.
"The latter works have passed the ex-
%perimental stage, have given returns
more than satisfactory to the lessees
the only drawback being their limited
capacity. and the lack of new and im-
proved machinery, drawbacks which
will disappear as soon As the outoat of
the mines will warrant.
"In Bear Gulch more tin ore has been
extracted, more valuable lodges exposed
in the past three months, than in as
many years before, more general de-
yelopment done than in ali the previous
history Of the camp-so say well inform
ed miners of the district.
In the Central Hills active prepera-
tons are making for the systematic de-
velopment of mines that haye proven
valuable by careful mill tests, good pro
perties have been purchased by capita
lists with means enough to properly
deve!ope them, and several mills are
in cours Of construction.
"The Custer and Hill City tin districts
are proving TO be all that was expected
OF them by careful inve .tors. and will
be ready to supply reduction works W
another season.

PIERRE, ). d., Dec "a, 1899. !
DEAR SIR:-Iour favor, requesting the
opinion of this Office as TO the right Of
county commissioners, after January LIST,
1890, TO issue licenses for the sale Of in
toxicating liquors, is received. Article
"a of the Constitution provides: "No
person or corporation shall manufacture
for sale, any Intoxicating liquor; no
person shall sell o. keep for sale, as a
beverage, any Intoxicating liquor. The
legislature shall by law prescribe regula-
tions, for the enforcement Of the provis-
ions of this section, and provide suita-
bic and adequate penalties Tor the vio-
lation thereof" / am of opinion that
the %prohibitory provisions of this ar
ticle are self-exacting, 81 far as they
operate upon the state or any of its gov
ornamental instrumentalities. AS / I'M
derstand the situation, since the adj
mission Of the state into the Union, the
power to license the sale of intoxicating
liquors in violation Of the terms of this
article has not existence in the state,
county, municipal corporation, or other
wise, and | do not see how the mandate
therein directed at the legislative con-
science, commanding that il shall pro-
vide for the enforcement of the article,
changes the phase Of it. do not mean
to be understood that persons holding
licenses for the sale of intoxicating
liquors prior, to the adoption of the
constitution, which, by their terms did
not expire until subsequent thereto,
could not legally sell hereunder, on
that proposition that part of section 10,
article l of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, which provides that no state
shall pass any law impairing the obliga-
ton on contracts, may have an impor-
tant bearing. Respectfully.

There is a scheme on foot for the ex-
tension of this division of the B. & NJ.
from Newcastle to the National park and
thus connect the B. & NJ. and Northern
Pacific roads. Burlington officials deny
all existence of such a scheme but say it
is very probable. The gap between the
end of the road and the Northern Paci-
fc is about 800 miles. This line would
give the Burlington an access to the
Puget sound country and the Northern
Pacific, a southwestern outlet. The
distance now by the U. p. and n. p.
railways is 2.460 miles and by this new
route 23l0 miles, thus making it the
shortest and most feasible. If this line
is built and it is very probable it will be.
Crawford will be on as good a through
line of railroad to the Pacific coast as is
the Union Pacific. The advantage OF
this can hardly be estimated, as the
transfer of business at this point would
be immense.-Crawford Times.

An important statement was made be.
fore the ways and means committee re-
lative to the South Dakota tin mines.
W. c. Cronemayer, a tin plate manu-
facturer of Pittsburg, stated that with
the recent development of tin mines in
South Dakota it now seems practically
certain that this country, with some ad-
ditional protection for tin plate, can
manufacture all the tin plate required
for use here and also make it for other
parts of the world. The tin mines of
South Dakota, he says, are now believed
to be sufficient to supply all tin required
not only for this country, but for the
world, and with small encouragement
there could be tin plate works establish
ed which would furni sh employment to
$4,000 persons. Washington special, 81.
