Where There's a Will. There's Way.

The common council OF Sioux City recently
took action towards furnishing hand: One and
permanent quarters for the Jobbers and
Manufacturers Union Of that city, besides en-
tending material aid in establishing bureau
of information, where samples of the resources
of the country tributary to Sioux City will be
kept, also statistics of all kinds, such as home
seekers and investors may require. This
iberality and public spiritedness on the part
of the Sioux City council is worthy Of being
followed by every like body i'll all the live
cities of the north west. 1t is good bust
ness proposition and the results will show the
wisdom of their action
A city, no matter how advantageously To-
Gated or rich in resouces can no more expect
to grow and thrive without advertising, or in
some way drawing outside attention to its adj
vantages, than could merchant hope to sue
ceed against sharp competition without adj
vertsing and making the best possible display
of his wares. Rapid City has received fail

that there is such place. To stop or let ul
now would be equivalent to throwing away
the money thus far expended il the gooe

away that brings sure success. Our commun
ity for push and rustling energy has frequent
ly been ikened to Sioux City, and while W
have not yet reached that stage where a Job
bers and Manufacturers association is needed
yet steps should at once be taken to establis
a bureau of information. To do this will re
quire time and systematic effort besides som
expense. While this is under way, the wor
OF drawing attention to Rapid City and its III
equalled resources should be kept up. Man,
with reason, complain of the frequent cal
anade upon them for donations to public ente
prises, but IT should be remembered til:

An Important Land Decision.

The commissioner Of the general land Office
granted the application Of Charles w. Hall,
Of Olerichs, Fall River county, to make a
second homestead entry. Halls application
to do this, is based on the fact that he is un-
able to obtain good portable water on his
place. Plenty Of water can be found but the
same is impregnated with mineral substances,
salt and alcali and is therefore wholly unfit
for use by man or beast. Halls former entry
is therefore cancelled and he is allowed to
make another t---4's s-ass.1'-.

KYLE Fighting Lillibridge's Appointment.


Senator Kyle is strongly backed by many
South Dakota republicans III his opposition to
Iilibndge's confirmation as indian agent at
the Cheyenne Agency. Kyle claims to be
able to prevent the confirmation, but there is
doubt Of his ability to do so. He makes his
attack on Lillibridge on the score of incom-
potency, and if the latter is shown to be com-
petent he will be confirmed.
1t was reported to President Harrison when
the appointment was made that Lillibridge
had an excellent record as soldier and public
officer. The attacks upon him since are bit
ter but the administration and the publican
majority in the senate will stand by him un-
less unexpected proof Of his unftness is pre-
lsented.

1t is far better not to have body of
singers sitting together in church, than
to have them if they must face the audience
and if some of them must sleep and others
giggle and others look bored while the

at all is better than goddess choir

Leaning Hard Towards The Independents.
Rapid City has 4 real twentieth century
democratic club. Their declaration Of prlnci-
pies are the most advanced of any we have
ct heard of being passed by any club outside
OF independent clubs of the country. They
advocate free trade, the abolition of National
banks and the direct issue to the people of
pure fiat money by the government. On the
land and transportation question we under
stand they hold much the same views as
those held by Henry George, father OF the
single tax theory, Maybe these people are
democrats. but they lean whole lot harder
toward the independents than they do toward
| the party which bears their name.-lndepend

Women are great sufferers from nervous

hundreds of thousands wear out their nerve

especially true during the spring months
when Spring Debility makes them much
worse.
1t is a fact also that no disease in the world
has ever left such a train OF invalids in its
track-invallds who suffer from both nervous
and physical weakness and prostration.

CALCUTTA, March 81. = Dispatches
from Mandalay, the capital of Burmah,

II o'clock Tuesday night. Three-fourths
of tho city is now in ashes, and the
fire has not been checked. Among the
buildings already gone are the old pal

away. The loss of life is between one
hundred and two hundred already, so far
as known, and scores Of people have not
been accounted for.
No search has been made for bodies,
as the people have been fleeing to the
open country all day, trying to save
their household goods and escape the in
tense heat which envelops the ruins.
They are camping at a distance from
the city, without food or shelter, and
calls for help for them have been sent
out by the authorities. The fire is said
to have been caused by the Goals from a
fire in natives hut in the lower quar-
ter of the city.
There is no provision against fire in
the city, and the people did not wait to
fight it, but fed panic stricken before
it. The roads to Amarapura are crowded
with fugitives, who will seek help in
that city. The suffering will be intense.

sentenced William Hamilton, c. A,
Barnley and o. A. Fraser, who pleaded
guilty to receiving $50, 900, stolen from
the Order of the Rising Sun, to five

from the officers of the Rising Sun, for
which sum they agreed to sell out the

consummation of the bargain. and the
Rising Sun officers tried to get back the
$4,000 they had paid, and which they
had illegally taken from the treasury of
the Rising sun. Not successful in this,
they took f25,000 more from the Rising
Sun and fled to Mexico.

TO TEST THE TAX LAW.
A Case of Interest to Taxpayers In
New Jersey.

TRENTON, N. j., March 31.-Supreme
Court Judge Werts has granted writ
of mandamus to John II. Snyder, Of
Orange, which will bring before the
supreme court for review the act under
which the state board of taxation now
operates, for the purpose Of testing its
constitutionality. John Snyder is rep
resented by Leon Albeit, Jr. During
the present year Mr.. Snyder declined TO
pay his tax to the collector OF Orange
until certain deductions have been made
for debts. The matter was taken before
the state board of taxation, and after
hearing arguments they ordered the
debts to be deducted from the bill.
After the decision was rendered the
collector of Orange applied to have it re-
opened, but the state board refused the
application. Snyder then offered to pay
the tax, but the collector refused to re-
ceive it, and still refuses. The assess
ment is of course lien on Snyder's prop
erty, which he wants removed, and his
only remedy was to compel the collector
to accept the money. The matter will
be argued at the next term of the su-
preme court. The collector acted by ad-
vice of the authorities of Orange, and the
constitutionality of the tax act and the
board to interfere with local authorities
will probably be called in question at
the argument,

On April IA, 1887, Mr.. Whitman spoke
for the last time in public. He lectured
at the Madison Square theater, in New
York on Abraham Lincoln. The affair
was we'll managed, and many prominent
literary men patronized it; yet, in order
that the poet might go home with 5000
in his pocket, Rev. Robert Collyer had
to add handsome personal contribution
to the receipts. But despite this lack of
appreciation the sweet tempered old
man never felt any bitterness toward hIs
fellows. To all who visited him at his
home he never expressed word of re-
proach against the American public,
and his final address to the world
hreathes only the most feryent gratitude.
