Decoration Day.

Decoration day was observed in Rapid
City in the good old fashioned style last
Thursday. About 1870 O'Clock in the
afternoon q procession was formed,
headed by a marshall band, followed
first by the state militia, second the old
veterans Of the early sixties, who went
to the front in the army to fight for the
flag, which ment much to an American
citizen IN those days, then came the
long line Of school children, that are SO
soon to take u places, at not only the
relns OF business, but government as
well. A very pleasing lecture OF the school
children procession was companies OF
uniformed bows representing the blue
and the gray, which gave a splendid ef-
feet to the whole affair. After reaching
Library hall a good program was car
ton day exercises. The Rev. Clevenger
delivered the grafton OF the day which
was we'll received by the entire audi
ence. He gave IN splendid and attrac-
tive language a brief review OF the origin
OF the war, its results and what it &C
complished. The Rev. gentleman showed
himself to be a student OF history and q
judge Of cause aud effect when applied to
national transactions and an orator Of
no mean ability. From the hall a large
crowd went by teams to the cemetery
and decked the graves Of both friend and
stranger with beautiful 1eaths and gar

School Board.

The regular meeting OF the Rapid City
school board was held last Friday even
ing at which meeting the following teach
ers were elected: Principal, Pref. w. A.
Fersueon (since %resigned); assistant
principal, Miss Lucey Feigel. For the
other positions, Mrs. j. w. Leedy, Helen
Bangs, Gertrude Hawks, Eliza McMullen
Kate Kehoe, Bessie Carnes, Kate Nc
Mahon, Geneyieve Patrick, Laura
Mitchell and Gina Tressler.
In the evening prior to the meeting a
writ of mandamus was served on the
board requiring them to call the names
OF Clevenger and Flower as members of
the board. A motion was made to adj
journ furthur proceedings until after the
court had passed upon the question as
to who was entitled to act as members
which motion was declared out of order
by the chairman. At this juncture Mrs.
A. D. Talent, James Brennan and C, d.
Madison left the meeting.
The mandumas vas brought by S. A.
Flower and G. S. Clevenger which came
on for hearing on Monday before the
court on demurrer by defendants. The
court overruled the demurrer and gave
them until Thursday to answer. The
law abiding citizens Of Rapid City are
liable to want to know, it this goes on
much longer who pays the cost in these
suits.

SENATOR KYLE AND FREE WOOL.

SENATOR KYLE AND FREE WOOL.
Soon after the new tariff bill passed
which placed wool on the free list, the
republican press of South Dakota filled
their columns with articles concerning
Senator Kyle for voting for free wool.
They predicted the complete obstruction
OF the wool industry in this state as
well as all others. Senator Kyle has
shown his faith in the result OF the mea-
sure, by investing all his surplus cash in
a head OF sheep, and the fact that wool
has been going up for some time, tends
to make his position on this question
prove correct; at any rate the price has
not gone any lower than under the
Mckinley law.

To The People of No1.t1
Dakota and Minnesota.

In the early part of the winter Of
'94 and 95, a prominent railroad party
in Maine forwarded to me letter writ
ten by O. P. M. Huffman, of Portland
North Dakota. making inquiries about
certain railways in the East, the party
asking me to answer Mr.. Huffman's S
questions far as possible, which l did,
thus our correspondence commenced on
railways in North Dakota and the future
development of the state. many por-
tons of which are without railway
facilities.
As it is we'll known that a large
amount of Eastern capital, especially
in New England states, has been invest.
ed in various enterprises throughout the
West in the past twenty years or more,
with heavy losses to the investor. The
financial depression and lack of conf
dence Of people one with another the
past two years or more has prevented
even legitimate enterprises to be carried
out. The building of railways came to
a stand still.
Railways in the West, many of which
passed into receivers hands, Investment
have collapsed, therefore
capital is timed as to her future invest
ments in the far west, and are looking
more for such near home and develop
ing her own industries. The old
saying is, that when a New England
man outgrows his own state of small
area, he seeks the western states where
