TO 1EcAL1zE TAN OF THIS COUNTY
Wilson and Dickoyer Introduce Bills fo,
That Purpose-Other News.

PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA, Feb. 9TH
Representative Dickover has intro
duced bill in the house and Senator
wilson similar one in the senate
legalizing the assessments and tax
alton of all property in Fall River
county for the year 1889, 1880, 1891
1892, 1893 and 1894. providing, however,
that the act does not affect the raise as
made by the county commissioners
upon the taxes of 1893.
Several billsare now beginning to meet
their fate daily. In the senate there
have been 269 bills introduced, and
the house has about the same num-
ber. Should no more be introduced,
about nine a day in each body must be
disposed of-either enacted into laws
or be killed. 1t is altogether probable
that the number introduced will reach
nearly 400 in each body, SO that an
average of about fifteen per day will
have to be finally disposed of each day
till the close of the session. This means
an immense amount of work, together
with other routine work.
Bills that went to the governor to-
day for his signature are house bill No.
13. prohibiting unauthorized insurance
companies from transacting business
in the state; No. % providing for
circuit court in Stanley county; No. "a
amending section 1896 compiled laws
1887, relating to administrators render
ing annual statements of accounts.
Senator McGee has introduced a
bill providing for stenographic report
ers, and fixing their per diem at 50 a
day for each day actually and neces-
sarily employed, and allowing five
cents for each mile travelled in going
to the place of employment.
Representative Patton has introduced
u bill to regulate DOCTORS fees and
charges for putting up prescriptions
by druggists. 1t provides that doctors
shall not charge more than g for each
professional visit for ordinary sickness
and twenty-five cents for each mile
Travelled in making such visit; so for
each case of obstetrics and for each
amputation. 1t is not thought the bill
will pass.
Senate bill No. 265 provides for the
duties of the register of deeds relative
to land titles and is very elaborate
and exhaustive bill.
A bill has been introduced locating
the state fair permanently at Aberdeen,
but will hardly pass.

The Love Tale.

Never does the recital grow weari-
some. 1t possesses and unfailing novel
ty and charmed spell, which draws all
within the magic circle of its influence.
Aye from the fair springtime of "sweet
sixteen" through all the succeeding
lustrums and decades, away up to Ten
nyson's ancient heroine, the refrain Of
whose unforgotten love story was: /
Seventy years ago, my darling-seven-
ty years ago."
Oh, hallowed be that sweet and ten
der memory, faithful unto death.
Even male humanity is sometimes in
terested in this love-lore, unless we ex-
empt that period when the bucaneer,
the scout and the border-ranger held
unlimited sway and love is nowhere. A
little later, and would we judge by the
subjoined jeu d'esprit, they take equal
| rank.
"War and love are strange compeers-
| War sheds blood and love sheds tears;
| War has spears, and love has darts,
| War breaks heads, love breaks hearts,"
And ah, fair young maiden, if SO en-
thralling to peruse the joys and sorrows
of the heroine, whom fiction has clothed
with such deep interest, how mucl
nearer to glimpse of Eden is that old
old story when read in some loved one
eyes and whispered in that loved one
voice.
Yet there is another word, the mobiles
in the catalogue of social virtues, who's
name is loyalty" and without whic'
love is but an earthly passion.-Ex.

quently convey very indistinct con-
ceptions to the mind. For this rea-
son it is customary to estimate star
distances in "light year." A light
year is the distance that light, NOV.
ing at the rate of 10000 miles per
second, travels in one year. This
amounts in round numbers to {, $780,.
600, 900, 900, miles. The distance of
Alpha Centauri is 4.35 light years;
that of Sirius, the dog Star, is al
most exactly twice as great, or 8.4
light years. In other words, light
requires SO years to come to us from
Sirius. And these are among the
very nearest OF the stars.
Some, whose parallaxes have
been rather estimated than measu'
red, appear to be sitting at a dis
tance which light could not traverse
in less than one or two centuries
The great star Arcturus, for instance
has, according to Dr. Elkin paral
lax of only IS 1000 of a second. Its
distance must, in that case, be
about IS1 light years, or more than
a thousand million million miles.
Aud if its distance is 30 great then,
since light varies inversely as the
square of the distance from its
source, it can be shown that Arctu'
rus must actually give forth 5000
or 5000 times as much light as the
sun yields. Yet Arcturns is evi

The Sphere of Silence.

There are things too low to be
spoken of; which indeed become
low by being spoken of. The ap-
petities are of this kind. They
we're meat to be the beginnings of
action rather than the end of speech;
and under the dropping of words
they are as wholesome food anal
yzed into constituent poisons. God
lights that fire and does not want
our breath to blow it. The inferior
impulses in man are glorified by
being placed at the natural
disposal of higher sentiments; they
are submitted to the transforming
power of the generous aspiration
and great ideas. Welded by these,
they are far above the level Of sense,
and are not only controlled by con-
science, but dignified by the light
of beauty, and ennobled by the light
of affection. Their just action is
secured far less than by nourishing
the strength of the humanities that
use them; by keeping them wholly
inattentive to tbemselves;eby break
ing every mirror in which their
own faces may be beheld.
Purity of mind is forfeited, less
by exceeding rules of moderation
than by needing them; by intuition

With their rich and radiant flowers
A wreath I'd Gull and crown her
This Southern Girl of ours.

Paint her picture with my pen,

In the may walks of men;

With eyes the brightest, shyest-

She's we'll poised, queenly creature

And graceful as4the lily
OF her own soft sun-kissed cline,
With an air half pride, half pathos,

With ways that haunt and hold one

And fresh as heavenly flowers
Whose fragant pearly petals
Mark the ages--not the hours;
Ills heart sweet-tuned, responsive
A heart that throbs and thrills
With the tenderest emotions
A Southern bosom fills.
Hers the mind for plan and action,
Hers the will to dare and do,
Hers the courage of conviction,
Hers the soul of all that's true.
On the pvge of art and science
Her bright-winged thoughts furl,
Keeping mental pace with masters
Our brainy Southern Girl.
Duty calls and soft she cometh,
| Not, 0 men, 20 take your place;
Not unmaidenly and mannish
| Would our girl with your keep pace;
Not her wish to rule or rob you
Nor one right to take away,
But she needs to work as men do,
And, as men to win her pay.
HERS sire ye loved and honored =
AS ye battled side by side;
Brave was he and kind and courtly
With the high-born Southron's pride
And to-day his proud-souled daughther
Trusts to ye-her fathers friend
For the same chivalric honor
Ye gave him to the end.
Then, o help her, noble Pressmen-
Ye, of Gods best of men
Come, help her with your wisdom,
And help her with your pen;
And perchance, some wintry morning,
| When your hopes lie dumb and dead,
When your life seems all reverses
She'll give to ye instead.
Then, o aid her in her efforts
Ward off the rude and rough
And kindly smooth and soften
The road is hard enough;
In the shop, the store, the office,
The printing rooms mad whirl,
Stand by and guide and guard her
| Our brave-soulsd southern Girl.
God blessed her proud endeavor
To do strong mans part,
To work her hard way upward
God bless her plucky heart!
We fondly watch her footsteps
Thro' all life's busy whirl,
And ever pray, God bless her
Our own, sweet Southern Girl.
