A Startling Decisiou.

Judge Plowman of the county court
raised Sheol. with a capital 8, with the
theories Of the temperance rcformers to-
day.
The liquor cases of the State vs.. J. A.
Smith, Of this city, and Henry Rosen-
krants. Barney Franklin. and Thomas
Harker, of Central, were before him for
hearing some time ago and the argu-
ments Of attorneys were taken under
advisement. Today he acquitted the
defendants on the grounds Of unconsti-
tuiionality Of the prohibition law. The
judge decided that the law covered
several subjects, both in title and text,
in direct violation Of the constitution.
J.B. Moore, the rising young lawyer OF
this city, conducted the defense for
Smith and is entitled to considerable
credit for securing the decision. Mr.,
Moore seems to know something about

This Office is in receipt Of commnni.
cation from the secretary of the Sioux
City Corn Palace association, in which
inquiry is made as to the feeling of the
people Of Custer County in the matter
Of making an exhibit this year, and of.
fering such space, in a desirable part OF
the building, as may be required for
the proper display OF the same. The
importance ofsuch and exhibit can not
be questioned, and early steps should
be taken to complete the necessary ar
rangements. An opportunity is thus
offered for exhibiting our varied re-
sources TO vast number of people,
representing nearly all of the states OF
the Union to many Of whom. our super.
ior and diversified products would be q
veritabie revelation. The year promis-
es to be favorable for agriculture, and
our recent silver discoveries make i.
possible to present q more varied and
attractive mineral display than could
haye been heretofore produced. BY all
means, let Custer County be represent
ed at the Corn Palace.

Ex-senator Moody, most persistent
and untiring worker in the interest of
South Dakota, who never fails to sub
NIT good word for the west when op
portunity offers, in a recent interview
with Washington reporter, per,inently
said: "The west is great country and
the people in the east do not appre ciate
its immensity. Our farmers will this
year raise 100000 bushels or more of
wheat in South Dakota than they did last
year. Let me call your attention 10 one
thing about the west Five-sevenths of
the area Of the United States lies west of
the Mississippi river, and the central
line Of the nation is the Tooth parallel,
which runs through the center Of South
Dakota. That is the halfway point
and Chicago is 700 miles east of it. The
western half OF the country, with all its
mountains and so called desert lands,
can support denser population than
the eastern half, and its resources are
are vastly more prolific and apparently
inexhaustible. Unless you think Of the
matter seriously you fail to realize the
magnitude Of our country"

An Estray Child.

wednesday morning. Mr.. Johnson,

his door step basket containing a girl
baby few days old. 1t was packed in
cotton and seemed to be more happy in
its soft bed than Mr.. Johnson was in
finding it. Nothing in the basket or op
the child could be found that would
lead to the discovery of her unnatural
mother, or where it was from. Mr..
Johnson being an old bachelor and liy-
ing all alone in his house, did not know
what to do with it so he went over
to Capt. Wizards for advice. As re-
suit of the conference the child was
taken to the latter's house and Mrs.
Willard is caring for it until some pro-
vision can be made for its future wants.
The baby is strong and healthy and had

A Disastrous Storm.

: Rapid City and vicinity was visited
by disastrous hail storm on Sunday
last OF which the Journal of that place
has the following account:
On Sunday afternoon between three
and four o'clock Rapid City and the
Rapid valley for distance of about
twenty miles were visited by destruc-
live hail storm. But little damage was
done in the western portion ofthe city,
as only three or four of the residences
IN Boulevard addition suffered by hail
breaking the windows. while the two
story building Of G. Getchell. on West
st Joe. street was the greatest sufferer
in that portion Of the city. The hail
broke in the large plate glass Of Thomas
Sweney's building in the Flormann
block, and several other windows in the
block were broken. The wind crushed
the large sign of the Pennington county
bank, and in several parts OF the bust
ness portions Of the city slight damage
was done. On the north side, in the
Feigel addition the greatest damage was
done, - all the residences suffered loss
by the the storm, all glass on the west
and north side were broken. In the
eastarn part Of the city considerable
loss was sustained. the gas works and
the two school OF mines buildings losing
each over one hundred and fifty lights
OF glass. The repairs to the school Of
mines buildings will require some time
as under tho present order Of things
nothing can be done to repair the dam
