Board Of Trade-Exciting Time.

Last Wednesday proved pleasant
and profitable day for those inter.
ested in cheese factories and their
output. About $4,000 pounds Of
cheese was on sale at the board Of
trade, and quite an exciting time
was had, each buyer being anxious
to buy. The bulk went for cts.
the highest price ever paid in this
section for June cheese. Il is
estimated that $4,000 pounds will be
offered or the board at It's next
meeting, to be held the 2oth Of
this upn4h.

Senator Joiner Eulogises Ably,

Senator Joiner Eulogises Ably,
At the special session of the
legislature last week Senator Joiner
of this county offered the following
masterly and touching tribute of
praise to the memory of the late
Senator Greene:
"MR. PREsmENT-I do not arise
to make any extended eulogy on
the character Of Senator Greene,
but, sir, | cannot let this occasion
pass without expressing my sense
Of his worth as man, his value as
q legislator, and his excellence as a
friend The death of Senator
Greene has deprived his community
of what no community can spare
man of irreproachable integrity,
sterling honesty and useful capa-
bility.
His death, sir, has removed from
the council of the state wise legis-
ator, a man who was in touch with
the people, man who was honored
by their confidence and esteem, and
| his constituents of a senator who
never betrayed or neglected a trust.
Ii has deprived this body Of one Of
it's most useful members, one Of it's
safest couusellors, one of those
members that we all instinctively
turn to for advice when perplexing
questions arise. 1t has bereaved us
of one of our associates, to whom
any member could appeal for advice,
assistance, or counsel with perfect
assurance that Senator Greene
would do everything he could con
sistently do, for fellow member.
Sir, his loss is to me personal
loss. When | first came TO this
chamber, ! was inexperienced in
legislation, and totally ignorant Of
the rules and forms Of this body.
In looking around among the old
members for some one who could
give me the information | needed, |
most fortunately for myself selected
Senator Greene, and at my first APP
proach To him, | was met with a
response so hearty--a willingness to
help me -- so manifestiy sincere,
that the impression was made on
my mind and remains there still
that far from being annoyed by
such requests, that it was an actual
pleasure for him to assist me.
Not a shade Of selhshnes or faint
est hint of an Interior motive ever
dimmed the disinterested lustre Of
any favor granted me by Senator
Greene. | learned to know him and
TO love him. ! had the honor to be
his friend. Although we differed
in politics, although our views on
questions not partisan did not al
ways coincide, not a shadow did III
ever throw over the mantle Of our
friendship, and never once, when
victory was on his side, even some.
, Zines after heated debate, did he
gloat over the discontinue Of his
political foe
So far As knew him, sir, his
genial nature was incapable Of re-
joicing over another's defeat, but
while he was a partisan and
Democrat and did all be could to
advance his par.y's cause, / know
that great heart Of his never felt a
throb Of simple triumph. Such men,
sir, create the amenities Of political
life, without which, politiral cam
paigns become brutal and politics
n4endurabIe.
| said be was my friend, Death,

The new treasury eight-hOur law
passed by the last congress, which
went into effect Aug. lst, in its
application to all government con-
tracts. has already raised a serious
question for the law offices Of the
United States. According to the con-
~structiOn placed upon it in the
treasury department, it will prac-
tically prevent the erection of any
federal building in the United States
until every mine owner, quarryman,
owner of a lumber camp, sawmill,
rolling mill and brickyard in the
country adopts eight hours as a days
work for his employees. The law
requires that in every contract
awarded the contractor shall be
required to adopt the eight-hOur
sytsem in the employment of his men,
and further than this he must use no
material which has been prepared
under any other plan of labor. If he
has the contract for cutting and set.
ting the stone work, his material
must be secured from a quarry where
the men are employed eight hours
only each day, and paid full days
a g fer such employment. His
stone cutters are placed upon the
same basis. Bricks used must be
made in yards where the labOrers are
paid for a full day for eight hours of
labor. In structural iron and inte-
rior finishing the same rules apply,
and according to the treasury officials
it will be necessary for the contractor
to secure a bond from each person
from whom he purchases material
that it has been prepared under the
eight hour system. 1t is a question
not yet fully answered whether il
will be necessary to &C 8ck as far as
the mines and lumber woods to secure
absolute compliance with the law.

COLUMBUS DAY PROCLAMATION.
Issued by Gov. MeIIette for the State of
South Dakota.

Whereas, At the instance Of the
executive committee of the national
public school celebration Of Column
bus day, congress has enacted a law
instructing the president of the
United States to issue a proclamation
making Columbus day a general holt
day; and
Whereas, 1t is especially desired
that the children of the land should
observe the anniversary marking the
date of the discovery by Columbus; and
Whereas, The worlds fair congress
auxiliary of the worlds Columbian
exposition has made a patriotic sug-
geStiOn that at the same time that
the exposition grounds at Chicago
are being dedicated, OF October 81,
1892, the anniversary of the discovery
of America, all the people of the
United States unite in a celebration
of the anniversary, of which Celebra-
tiOn the public schools of the Repub-
lie be everywhere the center, as
evidenced by the following resolution,
passed by that body, viz:
"Resolved, that the department Of
superintendent Of. the National
| Educational association heartily
endorse this suggestion, as serving
the purposes both of interesting the
youth of the Republic in the expOsi-
ton, and also in giving to the public

going resolutions which were adopted,
do hereby designate and appoint
Columbus Day, viz: October q, 1892,
as a public holiday, and recommend
that it be observed at the different
school houses over the state Of South
Dakota; that business be suspended
on that day; that civil and military
organizations take part in the cele,
bration, and that the day be devoted
to lessons calculated 20 inspire the
children of the land with a true
appreciation of the destiny of COlum,
bia.
This work is especially committed
to the Hon. COrtez Salmon, superin,
tendent of public instruction, and to

gress. Gardner a is well known and
highly respected citizen of Wabash.
SteYensOn's weak denialS are not
| sufficient to overtuTn the direct evil
dence of these three witnesses.
Besides the statements of these eye
witnesses, we also know that his
partner and bosom friend, James
Ewing, was an open friend of seceS-
sion, and that Stevenson himself
| stumped his state for the democracy
on a platform which declared the
war a failure.
So much for SteyensOn's warrecOrd.
On September IL, 1873, Stevenson
addressed his constituents. In the
course of his remarks he denounced
resumption and pleaded for the
retirement Of the national bank
currency and the issuance of green
backs in its stead.
AS an enemy of the labOring man
Stevenson's record is still worse. The
| Mclean County Coal Company, OF
which he is president, employs non
union miners and pays them starya-
tion wages. The objection on the
part of his miners to the dangerous
condition of the shafts led Stevenson
to declare a lockout in 1873. ''ScabS'
were brought in and since that time
| the mines have been worked by cheap
labor.
Yet this man is the candidate of
the democratic party. In nominal
ing him that party has grossly
insulted the Union veteran and the
| laboring man and bid defiance to the
conservative business interests of
the country.

THE STATE
The Plan Therefor Approved by the
Worlds Fair Management.

Chicago Tribune: Oliver Gibbs,
Jr., the secretary of the South Dakota
worlds fair commission, and w. l.,
Dow, of Sioux Falls, the architect,
fled plans and specifications of the
South Dakota building with the
director general and chiefO of construc-
ton yesterday and secured their
approval.
The general style of the building
is Romanesque. 1t will occupy a
space of 20 by $50 feet and be two
stories high. 1t will contain $4,000
feet of floor space, 0 about the same
as the Minnesota and Nebraska
buildings. The location is on the
lagoon, at the Fitfy-seventh street
entrance, fronting the park Of the
art gallery. Its main entrance will
be through a large circular porch
with a balcony on the second story. 1t
will have a side entrance on Fifty
seventh street, and a porch over
looking the lagoon. The interior
Of the building will be finished in
Portland cement, manufactured at
the YanktOn cement works, in imita-
tion to some extent of cut stone. The
state will make collective exhibits in
the department buildings Of agricul-
ture, horticulture, mines and mining,
and educational, but a large exhibit
ton hall will be provided in the state
building, which is to be filled with
the products showing the resources
of the state in all branches. There
will be rooms in the building for
the members and officers of the COM
mission and of the wOman'S commits,
sion Of the state, and ample accom-
mOdatiOns TO enable visitors from the
state and their friends to occupy the
building as a resort and resting place
while attending the fair. One
peculiar feature will be a large room
set apart to be known as the state
press headquarters, to which the
newspapers of the state will con-
tribUte all their current issues for the
purposes of a reading room. All the
convenienceS common to a state
building at the fair will be provided.
The real cost of the building will be
about $25, 900, although gifts of
material will bring the expense down
to about $4,000.
Mr.. Gibbs said: THE work on the
building will begin Immediately with
a view of having it finished by the
time of the dedication in October.
The commission will have expended
$50, 200 on the building and exhibits
up to the time of the converting of
the South Dakota legislature next
winter. 1t is expected that the leg
islature will appropriate as much
more and thus bring the exhibit up
to a grade equal to that of any of the
other northwestern states.
"The exhibit will consist chiefly of
agricultural and mineral products,
showing especially the natural
resources. The educational exhibit
is in the hands of the woman's com
mission, which is cooperating with
the state board"
