MIR. and Mrs. w. N. Meloon left
yesterday for visit of few days with
Pierre friends.
Joe Butler of Blunt came up
Wednesday to attend a birthday party
given Miss Susie Miller at the Onida
House by the Onida young people.
MIR. Tazwell M, Simmons, promi-
nent barrlster OF Onida, Sully Co., was
in town last night looking for a resi-
dence. He contemplates returning to
Pierre soon.-Pierre Capital.
Treasurer Johnston is at his farm
in Western Sully this week getting
things in readiness for putting in a
large crop this spring. He has en-
ployed Homer Stone of Okobojo to re-
main upon the farm this season.
Misses Hannah and Laura Ander-
son arrived home from Pierre last Sat-
urday, where they have been attending
school Miss Hannah will commence
a spring term Of school in the Water

Last week cyclones visited Indi-
ana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missis-
slppi. About the same time South Da-

are low as you will admit If you call
and price them.
Water was struck in the Dry Run
Artesian well, being bored 6 miles
northeast of Pierre, at a depth OF 1900
feet. The water pours out over the
top Of the we'll, but an effort is being
made to sink it 100 feet deeper so as
to make a gusher of it. This settles
the fact that the Artesian basin ex-
tends west to the Missouri river.

county, S. d., arrived here on Monday

Last week we published the new
tree claim law on our inside pages. 1t

desiring to make final proof under the
new law can do so before the Clerk of
the Court or County Judge for the
same fees as are charged IN homestead
cases. No advertisement is required.

a conspicuous place where his senli-
mental optics might rest on the gilt

Concerning them we gather tho sol-

This morning the S2l.55 one-way rate
to Chicago, announced by the local lines
on the n aud Sd, became official, aud,
in connection with the round trip tick
cts, $3.50, are on sale at all local Offices,
together with the reduced fares, both
single and rUund-trip, TO 81. Louis and
Missouri river points. So far as any
change in these rates are concerned it
is not thought that the Chicago meeting
to-day will have any bearing upon the
situation.
The resolutions passed by the meet
ing before adjournment Saturday after
noon are viewed by local officials as Il
full concession and an ultimate accept
ance Of the rates as they now stand aa

of the association, it is said, will now
be given undivided to reorganization
and the discussion of its plans for the
future.

How is Business :!

This query IS heard on the streets,
and thinking it might interest the
readers of TIE HERALD to know Just
how business really was. IA scribe made
tour of the business houses in town
and obtained the following information:
Stopping first at Watson's general mer-
chandise store we found tie new man
ager-Wm. Welch-at work in the Of
Gce who. in reply to the above question,
said: "Well, business is picking up.
Money is more plentiful than it was
last year and. all things considered,
business is good"
Calling next at the meat market we
found the popular and gentlemanly
knight of the cleaver, Louie IIatzen-
buhler. and held him up for the follow
ing: Business is much better than it
was last wear in our line of goods. We
kill from four to SIX beeves per week
besides doing cash business, or nearly
so. Oh yes, times are better than they
were last year.
ence, only the people hadn't such long
faces as they had last year and conse-
quently not much terrltor to shave.
At Hugus' we were informed that
their sales were much larger this year
than for the corresponding number of
months last year, trade steadier and
money not so scarce.
p. i. Welch says: "Our cash sales
are about sixty per cent in advance of
what they were last year. Business is
better than it has been for several
years
At the City Drug Store q. Barthol-
omew expressed himself thusly: Bus
mess is increasing every day. The re-
ceipts are far in excess of those of last
wear.
r. Hartke said: My business is
,ushinr am handling twice as much
money this wear AS last. | haven't got
time to talk to Won now. but come in
after working hours and I'll tell ycu all
about it.n
The attention of Joe Kooney being
called to the query which heads this
article welded MS the following inform
alton: " y Though somewhat dull the
past week. we can't seriously complain.
Our books show an increase in the re-
ceipts of this wear over those of last of
about forty per cent"
IL. II. Bergh said: "Blacksmithing
is much better this wear than last. Nv
