to have originated from a cigarette stub
dropped among old papers in the Office
The ADVERTISER will give the Official
figures in short time what it costs the
taxpayers of the county to prosecute
criminals who have got into the meshes
Of the law for using intoxicating liquors
Members of the late grand jury excuse
themselves for not taking notice of the
violation of the prohibitory law by say,
ing that no complaints were fled with
the states attorney. But an inquisitive
law-abiding people will ask if they called
for any testimony, whatever, from the
citizens. The facts are, it was not nee.
essary to go outside of the grand jury
room to secure evidence to indict nearly
every saloonkeeper in town il they had
desired to enforce the law.
The attitude Of the Deadwood Times
toward Messrs. Seward & Cottle, because
these gentlemen decided to locate theil
wholesale establishment at Rapid City
was in bad taste, course liable to cause
other business men seeking new locations
to keep shy of Deadwood. Those Rapii
fellows are rustlers and because they
held out better inducements to THU
wholesale firm than the Deadwooditel
did, the Times has no grounds upol
which to make legitimate kick.
The Rev. Mr.. Fielder arrived in Stur
gis Thursday morning of last week and
in the evening delivered a lecture OF
prohibition. His speech was very con
sentative, yet convincing. In speaking
directly of the prohibitory law he sale

ance OF the law and then if it was no
shown that such measure was sue
cess it would be time enough to say SO
Mr.. Fielder is pleasant speaker, but no
radical on the temperance cause. If tn
anti prohlbitionists would listen to al
address from him whenever an opportun
ity is offered, they would find it enter
tanning and profitable.
