-Serg. Maj 7. A. Dare, ofthis place,
gave the first exhibition of his Stereop-
ticon view entertainment at the Court
House to large and appreciatlve
audience last Friday evening. His
views consist of original photographs,
taken by the Government photograph
ers on the battle fields, and as por-
trayed on his large canvass bring to
the minds Of the old soldier a remem-
brance of the actual service and scenery
IN the south during the war OF the re-
bellion, and as an educator of the
younger people in war history the en-
tertainment is worth many times the
admission fee, as it brings vividly to
their view and impresses upon their
minds what warfare actually is, its
dangers and endurances, all Of which
is explained by Maj. Dare in his lee
ture on "The war for the Unlon." He
has some 70 different views, covering
almost everything Of interest on the
field before, during and after battles
1t is the most complete entertainment
of the kind we have ever had the pleas
ure of attending. Maj. Dare shows in
Blunt this and tomorrow evenings
His entertainment is given under the
auspices of Grand Army Posts, and he
IS now ready to entertain propositions
to visit any points in the state.
| Another scene in the Sheriff con
| test was enacted by Smith having
Faust arrested for "impersonating ar
officer and thereby obtaining money
under false pretenses" last week, th'
trial taking place before Justice Everts
on the 18th inst, resulting IN binding
Faust over to appear and answer to th'
Grand Jury at the June term OF thu
Circuit Court. Mr. Faust was takel
to Pierre Saturday, by Constable Lilly
handed over to the Sheriff there, gav'
bail and returned home to re-enter tn
duties of his office on Monday, mucl
to the displeasure Of the independents
who hoped to keep him locked up i
/ jail until June and by this means Gus
5 him from office. The arrest does no
bring the much vexed and obnoxlou
question any nearer to close than ha
it not been made. The only thing ae
: complished by Mr.. Smith and his ac
visors, the leaders Of the lndepender
, party, is to heap large bill of expens
upon the county. The Taxpayer
. must foot the bills when this cliqu
. wish an individual prosecuted. I'm
: Faust is not Sheriff de facto, as the Ii
dependents claim, Mr.. Smith can sto
! him from dong business in very fe
= days at but slight expense to hlmse
= and none to the county, and the fet
: OF the office will soon re-emburse hi
for the outlay-if they amount to an,
$ thing, and they certainly do. We al
d informed that a program has bee
:. arranged whereby Mr.. Faust is to |
e arrested every time he makes a for
closure sale, all at the expense OF Il
e county, and that no steps will be take
n to oust him from his office. Th
!. course looks malicious and is condem
:. ed by the taxpayers. There is OF
consolation, however, Judge Fuller w
f saw who is Sheriff de facto on June z
! at the convenlng OF the Circuit Cou
> which will no doubt settle the questit
= so far as any further legal contenti'
s is concerned. in the meantime the |
dependent ringmasters will give reg
!, lar exhibitions before His Royal Hig
:, ness, Gee Whiz, free. All bills pa
il by the county. The gang have al
- sgot it inn for the editor of the WATc
;, MAN and have announced that he is
be arrested the first time caught doiI
business with Faust We will s.
: right now and here that if we need t
, Sheriff in our business we will not el

u possession Of the office. When actil
