IF SNAIL, Proprietor.

In the case Of the five, indictments
against Mayor Stutenroth of Water
town and City Attorney Cove, the court
fixed the bonds at $500 for each indict-
ment-three against the former and two
against the latter. The city attorney
furnished a cash bond although many
business men came forward to go surety.
In the case of the mayor sixty-eight
business men to show their approval! OF
the mayors policy iii allowing the sa-
looms to run, insisted on going on his
bond to the extent Of nearly a quarter
million dollars. In view OF the fact that
two of them on the bond would have
been sufficient, 1t is not at I'LL creditable
to the good. name OF Watertown and it's
people that 80 many OF them should
make such an exhibition Of zeal in SO
unholy a cause. Running saloons In
South Dakota is la~wlessness, say the
best for it you may. and whether the
law be right or wrong. popular or un-
popular, it is not to the present credit or
future good Of any community to mani
fest openly such a brazen defiance OF the
law Of the state. Such acts are closely
akin to mob violence, lynch law, footing
banks and similar acts destructive of
public and individual safety.

How He Was Nipped and the Famous
Goethe Medallion Recovered.
The superb medallion Of Goethe by
the famous sculptor, David of Anglers,
was recently missed from the Paris
Louvre. Watch was set upon the other
art treasures in the room In which it
had been shown. At length an old man,
respectfully dressed, was discovered try
ing to open . case by u~nserewing the
hinges. On being arrested he declared
that>he was tightening the screws Of the
hinges, not taking them out. he was
detained in custody, and a search was
made Of bis rooms. Here was found the
missing medallion, together with a large
number of other art treasures and bits
Of bric-a-brao There were also tools not
unlike q housebreaker's.
The kleptomaniac, who is a>bachelor
Of 50, has been as~certained to be q man
Of considerable fortune, who spent large
sums in artistic salesrooms. 1t is pro-
posed by the magistrate to keep him in
custody for q few days and then release
him, his friends depositing 10. 900 francs
a. security for bis good behavior.

TO a compromise. Overtures, however,
we're made to Attorney General Craw-
ford but he declined to entertain any
proposition OF that sort. He gave Tay-
lor's friends to distinctly understand that
the state must be reimbursed, every
cent made good and the law allowed to
take it's course. Taylor must stand trial
and receive punishment the same as any
criminal. Mr.. Crawford will insist upon
this and so notified the parties who
made overtures to him.
As for Governor Sheldon, Mr.. Lock,
hart says no agreement to pardon Tay-
lor has. been made, and anyone who
knows Judge Galley ought to know that
he would not be so unwise as to state
what sentence he will pronounce upon a
criminal in advance of his trial.

Reports Of crop conditions from At
counties in the state to the Huron
weather bureau for the week ending
Monday, the 18th, show that the rainfall
was about normal. The heaviest rains
were in Bon Homme, Brookings, Ham
lin and Minnehaha counties. $50 to l.75
inch. Charles Nix, Moody and Turner
counties, LIS to 2.25 inches. Douglas
and Aurora counties, $50 to 800 inches.
1t is very probable that the four south
ern tiers Of counties east Of the Missouri
river received generally from l to 3
inches Of rain during the week. The
temperature was above the average with
two very warm days.
Wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, flax
millet and grass were very favorably
affected by the general weather condi-
tions. Wheat and oats have made
marked progress, in many localities are
heading, and ONE wheat is reported in
the milk. Rye is rapidly nearing condi.
ton for harvest. and barley is mostly
headed. Potatoes have done nicely and
promise well. The late fax and millet
has made satisfactory growth. Corn
has improved considerably. but it is still
backward and needs uniform warm days
and nights for best results.
Grass is doing we'll and will be much
benefited by the recent rains.
In some localities the wheat and oats
stand so rank and tall that a period OF
dry weather Is desired. In some other
localities these crops are beginning tc
head on short stems, but on general
average the condition Is very satisfactory
and promising. ga.
