The Restless american.

What a restless people we are i!
Never happy unless we are doing
something with all our might. We
fail only when we attempt to play.
And yet nothing is easier now than a
visit to California over the Union
Pacific, the original overland route,
and the Pacific coast climate in winter
is unrivalled still. The Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific company, profit
ing by past experience, have spared
no pains or expense during the past
summer to perfect the roa bed and
the equipment Of the line via Ogden,
and the entire tour from the Missouri
river to San Francisco even in mid,
winter is the supremest luxu y of rail
roading without the delay SO often ex
perieLced in winter.

About the Weather.

There is an old saying about the
weather that often proves correct.
1t is that the three first days of De-
cember settles the weather for the
entire winter. According to this
rule, December should be fairly
mild month, with more than the
average amount Of sunshine. Janu-
ary should be boisterous, but wind
up very cold, and February should
be severe throughout. Weather
prophets seem inclined to indorse
this forecast, and possibly the good
old adsge may prove true once more.

Reckless Pension Legislation.

The Chicago Tribune, a stalwart
Republican organ, has some very
positive views on pension legislation.
1t says:
"Profligate demagogic congress
men who voted for the reckless pen
sion legislation Of the last session in
order to catch votes for themselves
are beginning to see great light.
They mourn because after passing q
bin ~hicI i.!ch will add over 100000
names to the pension {oIIs Of ;'de'
pL,endents," not one-fourth OF which
belongs to that class, and from $50,
900, 900 10 s1O0,OOO,OO0 10 the a.
ready fElghtfully congested pension
account, large numbers of the bene-
ficiaries themselves were not CRATE
full, but on the other hand abused
them for not also passing a service
pension act which would have ADDED
as much more to the huge expendi
ture. The contrIte congressman who
voted for this legislation now fine
that while they have bled their cou
stituents about $40 per family every
year foT generation to come to pa,
this pension grab, they have gained
no votes for themselves, but on th,
other hand have lost many. Ther'
will be more of thls kind of votin,
when the extravagant legislation 70
which they are responsible begins t
pinch the popular pocket, and wheI
the future congresses have to NEE
large revenue Deficiencies and Sc
bonds creating new war debt, t
pay the bills.

DowJUNIoR.

In the window of saloon on West
Eighth street, near Delaware, there
hangs o rusty looking old pistol and
a war SCARED scabbaId and cartridge
box. ALI three have a history. The
pistol is about twelve inches long.
1t Is one of the old fashioned Colt s
horse pistols, This story goes with
the weapon. The pistol belonged at
one time to a Confederate officer and
was taken from him by the celebrat-
ed detective, Nichols, who is broth
er of Capt. Dan. w. Nichols, of
Keytesville. Charlton county, Mo.
The Confederate was left dead in the
field. The pistol seems to have been
endowed with the power Of evil to
him who carried it. Detective Mich
OILS IN an attempt tclarrest Younger,
in Dallas county, Texas, shot Young
er with it, but Younger killed him
and took the pistol from him. And
then came Younger's turn. In st.
Clair county he was attacked by two
detectives after having killed sever
al other men. He killed the detee-
tiyes With this self same gun and
was afteFward killed himself, dying
with this fatal pistol on. The scab-
bard and cartridge box are said to
have belonged to Quantrell.-K. C.

Christmas gift to the editors and
devils of the COURIER office.
The writer contemplates visiting
friends and relatives in Kansas City
next week.
So far as we are informed all of
our adjacent public schools will ad-
journ for the holidays.
Rev. w. H. Younger will preach
at Centenary chapel next Saturday
night and the Sunday following, and
doubtless will protract the meeting
through the ensuing week.
Quite a number of our cattlemen
had their cattle dehorned last week.
Messrs. l.. II. Herring and George
Swain each a. lot, and j. T. Swan
seventy. five head. James Wren did
the work up nicely for them.
Mrs. o. G. Chapman, north of
KeytesviIle, visited her brother, T.
A. Goodfellow, of Marceline, sever
al days this week, and while there
Mr.. G. presented his sister with q
yery fine silver caster as q Christmas
present.
Before this reaches the press, per-
haps, the Prairie View dramatic So
ciety viii have appeared before the
public with lengthy programme Of
recitaticns, dialogues, tableaux, dra-
matte plays and vocal and instru.
mental music Of the most choice Sc
lections.
Prairie VieY's entertainment will
positively take place Wednesday
night. The Keytesvllle school were
to have their blowout the same
night, but learning that the View
was billed for the same time deemed
1t best to change their time in order
to get crowd.
In one OF Our social circles not
long since the question as to why
women naeded new teeth sooner than
men was being discussed. 1t was
finally decided that the early decay
and wear of womcn's teeth is caused
from the incessant use of the tongue.
Many fine Christmas turkey wII
be decoYed from his towering perch
} during the holidays and served uI
with other dainties to satisfy the
inner man. Sensible women have
long since learned that the neares
way to a mans heart is through hi.
stomach, and hence they avail them
selves of every opportunity to warn
up the old ice-bergs.

Glass Houses, Etc.

The independent organs have made
consi' erable bunkum out OF the as
sertion that 5. o. Nordvold, Republi-
can nominee for representative was
not a property holder in Brooklngs
county. 1t has been discovered by
searching records that Henry Heintz,
candidate for representative on the
independent ticket is not without
fault.
December Is, 1888, Henry Heintz
and wife sold to Chas. w. H. Lentz of
Brookines, the southwest quarter
section Sal lO-47, 100 acres. for the
consideration a of So, 800, subject to
mortgage IN the sum Of $5SS. On the
same day and at tho same hour
Chas. w. II. Lentz transferred the
same tract of land to Susan Helntz
(wlfe of Henry Heintz), for the con-
sideration of $2,5 500 subject to mort
gage in the sum OF 1888. The county
records at present show that Henry
Heintz does not. own any real prop
erty in Brookings county. This is
not all. The fact is that Mr.. Lentz
gave Mr.. Heintz 81 when he received
the deed and when Mr.. Lentz decided
the land to Mrs. Heintz the 81 was
returned to Mr.. Lentz. Why was this
done you ask? It was one or those
cases where men wish to transfer their
property to avoid the payment OF
their debts. Is Mr.. Heintz any more
Trustworthy than Mr.. Nordvold in
this respecti The same cannot be
said against Mr.. Nordvold that the
above facts prove against Mr.. Heintz
at any rate. An inspection of the
county records will disclose the above
facts to any one doubling the
statement.

The Harp String Busted.

For some time the Pierre. for. capital
papers have been harping, "Locate
the capital at Pierre and get cheap
coal" get q market for butter and
eggs" "Jhe railroad be at once ex-
tended" but their harp string has
been severed. The DeSmet Leader
truthfully says:
'It is now certain that the c. & N.
w. railroad will never be extended
west from Pierre. That company
failed to take advantage of the act OF
congress which allowed them six
months in which to establish their
line by definite selection OF land for
road and depot grounds. Not only
have they failed to take steps to
build this line, but they have ordered
u line surveyed from Forest City,
which will no doubt be their route
when they do build across the reser.
walton. There is no opportunity of
building q bridge at Pierre because
rock bottom cannot be found as at
Forest City, and at Chamberlain
where the Milwaukee will cross. That
a road will never leave Pierre for the
Hills is tact which time will es-
tablish."
We verify believe now that Forest
City is better place for the capital
than Pierre, but there is still another
reason for voting for Huron. 1t is u
we'll known fact that tne business on
the railroad west OF Huron does not
pay expenses and people on this side
OF Pierre have to pay higher rate on
freight because of this. People here
say they do not want to pay any
higher freight rate than they do now
and surely the road west of Pierre
would not pay expenses at present.

state Building on Fire.

Last Sunday night as the bell was
ringing at the Agricultural college to
announce the hour OF 10 o'clock.
Flames were seen to burst from the
northwest corner OF the root OF the
gentlemen's dormitory and the cry OF
fire sounded. The whistle blew and
the fire department started tor the
building, but the students formed q
bucket line and a very few moments
extinguished the flames,
The fire was caused by one OF the
students having q large sized ROches-
ter lamp placed on a bracket near the
ceiling. The heat was so intense that
the lath and roof timbers ienired
through the plastering and without
breaking the ceiling it worked Its way
out through the roof. 1t was lucky
that it broke out SO early In the
evening as in q short time all the
occupants would have been in bed
and the flames would then have
gained such headway tina. nothing
could have checked complete de
struction OF the whole structure.

Provide Houses.

At present there is an influx of
people who are coming to BrooKings
county seeking homes on our fertile
soil and We as citizens must put forth
every effort to encourage these peo-
pie. There are plenty OF excellent
farms to be improved and owners of
real estate standing idle will do we'll
to build houses on this vacant land.
1t will increase our tax payers, en-
hapce the population of the county
and in every way tend to advance the
prosperity of our people. We have
room for ten thousand more people
within our borders and people seek
ing homes where no such thing as
crop failure is known will do well to
visit this county. Already they are
coming and our capitalists must put
forth every inducement to keep this
progressive movement going. Brook
ines county today is the banner
county for crops-let US make it the
best in every respect.

EDITORS REGISTER
l notice in last weeks Brookings
Press, statement purporting to
have been made by me which might
lead readers estray. While walking
down from the court house to my
hotel with gentleman ! casually re.
marked that p. c. Murphy had
secured more convictions than any
other district attorney IN the circuit.
/ might have added that many more
criminal cases were brought in the
court at Brookings than at any other
place in the circuit. might have
added that in the railroad burglary
cases Mr.. Philo Hall was employed by
the company to assist Mr.. Murphy in
conducting the cases. might have
also stated that Mr.. Murphy's sue
cess was largely due to the legal
ability of Mr.. G. A. Mathews, who
has given his attention to all cases in
charge OF the district attorney. l
recognize Philo Hall as being one OF
the brightest attorneys in the circuit
and the voters OF Brookings county
will make no mistake in placing him
in charge OF the office Of district
attorney. Respectfully,
STELLA WINsLOw.

Democratic Pursuation.

The independent party started out
with tn declaration that they would
fnee with no one. but would fight it out
from the standpoint oil principle.
How well they have adhered to their
text is we'll known. Tney have
entered iato conclusion with the
democrats in nearly every legislative
district in South Dakota. Why did
they not endorse the Republican
nominees in some instances? Just
because the bosses were OF demo.
cratic pursustion and would not
allow such combine. 1t Is anything
to beat the Republican party and
place the democrats in power.
Truthfully deny this if you can.
