self of a fellow being, no greater benefit
than by proving his moral courage and
taking the whiskey cure, thereby prov
ing living example to the rising gener-
atien that temperance is worthy of the
noblest efforts of christianity. There are
thousands of men in South Dakota today
who would gladly avail themselves ofthis
blessings were it not for a so-called self
pride. Every heavy drinker will tell you

After enjoying the hospitality of the
Merchants no Il for nearly month, the
writer can fra lkly state that this popular
house has no superior in the state in any
particular that goes to constitute par ex-
cellence in cuisene, sleeping accommoda-
tons or prompt attention to the wants Of
guests 1t is located just one block from
the Milwaukee depot at the north end OF
Philips avenue and is a famous resort
for commercial travellers. The Mer-
chants is monument to the energy and
business integrity Of Capt. Wiley, a
! gentleman who has done much to make
Sioux Falls the queen city of the state.
Mr.. Williams, Capt. Willey'a partner in
the management of this popular resort IS
as state Auditor Taylor puts it, the best
equipped hotel man in the state, besides
being the handsomest. Capt. Wiley has
vast property interests on the outside
that occupies his entire time. Gus. Pet,
erson, clay clerk, is a marvel in his line.
He wears no diamonds while on duty,
prefering that the guests should excel in
this 5$gticrla line: Gus can can make
a stranger feel at home in two minutes.
He is a paragon Of perfection in the
dining room and to our knowledge, we
never saw his superior in the west. The
night clerk, Albert Kiser is d young gent
leman specially fitted for the position.
There is no straight-jacket, more holier
than thou style about the Merchants,
The guests are made to feel that it is not
necessary to take off their hat before ask
ing a question at the office. The family
or an Individual will find a home under
the hospitable roof of the Merchants.
