The supreme court Of South Dakota
has decided that the five year sentence
passed upon ex-Trcasurer w. w. Taylor
was excessive, or in other words, was
not in accord with the statute, and the
court fixed his sentence at two years in
the penitentiary dating from August
18th, 1895. He will be given his liberty
April 18th, 1897, providing the statutory
Communication for good behavior be OBJ
served. Commenting upon this action
OF the court in this case the Deadwood
Times says: "The supreme courts
action is not surprise to those who
are cognizaut of the law. 1t is, how
ever, matter of disappointment to the
pnblic generally; disappointment be.
cause OF the Inconsistency and absurdity
of the law applying to such cases This
action of the supreme court has been
anticipated in fact that tribunal could
not do otherwise. The statutes of this
state provide that IL an official, person
'N'NseS ~ sOAtihthtC VI GicCtlOu, Is COn-
victed Of stealing more than $40, the
sentence shall not exceed two years if
a civilian steals over 500 he may be
sentenced to five years. That is just the
difference, go there was no question az
to the decision Of the supreme court.
1t need not be surprising if Taylor's at
torneys renew their habeas corpus pleas
now and Taylor may scot free. If he
does it will certainly be the fault of the
laws, and not the courts and state of
ticials." The supreme court sent the
remittitur in the case to the clerk of
the trial court on Monday, and Taylor
started for the penitentiary on Tuesday
morning 1t is given out that he will
be assigned to position in the prison
laundry. His wife has taken up her
residence in Sioux Falls, and will re
main there during the period of her
husbands imprisonment.

A Marx of Esteem.

At Spearfsh last night there occurred
a beautiful ceremony by which Miss
Jennie Duke, daughter of Calvin Duke
Post Of Sturgis and of the Black Hills
Soldiers and Sailors association. was
mcde the recipient OF a handsome badge
by members Of the G.. A. r., S. V. aud
w. r. c. of the city. A large delega'
tion was present from Sturgis, and the
affair was one that will be remembered
by those who participated. To Judge
John ii. Burns Of this city was assigned
the duty Of making the presentation
speech, which he did in the following
words
"On June 10th of the present year
there gathered at Spearish notable
body of men and women gray bearded
aud grim-those survivors Of the DAYS
Of '6Os were, while above the heads and
hearts Of the members of the w. X. T..
there clustered still more thickly the
ripened sweetness of their maturer
years. The Sons Of Veterans, rich in
their heritage of heroic ancestry, pledg-.
ed anew To the VsteYansf association
and to the world, their undying loyalty
TO this flag Of ours. An ardent spirit Of
patriotism burned In every bosom; even
as it did in the days of old rich memo
ries Of those who have passed on TO the
higher life were in every mind.
Miss Jennie Duke, while those high
souled and chiyarous veterans, their
wives. sons and daughters. were in this
exalted and appreciatiye frame OF mind,
pursuant to a beautiful and appropriate
custom, you were chosen as their daugh-
ter, and now in token Of such adoption
present to you this beautiful badge.
BY this presentation your adoption is
complete. There is no danger that you,
Miss. will regard these ceremonies as
idle and meaningless, and let me re-
mind ali others that they have pro-
found significance. They typify our
reverential recollection Of he deeds Of
your noble sire and his comrades They
testify also that true and earnest esteem
in which We hold sweet and noble |
womanhood, and our immeasurable and !
grateful acknowledgements of the more
than Spartan courage with which women |
bore her greater part Of the agonies of
that bloody civil war.
You are rs yet on the threshold of |
life, and you will find as the years come,
that it is inherent in the very fact of |
living, that troubles and trials will come |
to you, that they may be as evanescent
and fieeting as summer showers, is the |
prayer of each one Of us. Miss Jennie, /

ed from me by my young comrades Of |
the Sons Of Veterans did l not remind |
you that the brotherly relationship this
evening established between their corps |
and yourself shall not be held n bar to a
closer and sweeier tie, which in the DAYS |
to come, some gallant son may seek to .
establish with you. And finally NAV |
your years be filed with happiness and

day under the auspices of the Masonic
order. He has held several positions of
trust as the following brief sketch Of his
life will show: DIR. Shurts was born in
franklin county, Pa, in 1874, making
him D, years OF age. He went through
preparatory schools at an early age and
when he was 22 years Of age graduated
from the Washington and Jefferson
college of Pennsylvsnia. Soon after the
event he came vest, locating at Brown
willie, Neb, where he engaged in the
hardware business, in which he was
fairly successful. In 1872 he was ap.
pointed steward of the state hospital for
the insane, at Lincoln Neb,, which posi-
ton he held until 1873. when he resign
ed to cone to Deadwood, entering the
U. ). land office under DR.. A. S. Stewart,
who was receiver. This position Mr..
Shlrts held for three years, when he
yent into the First National bank Of
Dsad-ood as teller. and i'm that capacity
he served his employers with credit to
himself and satisfaction to them. In
July, 1893, the Lawrence county bank
was established at Sturgis and Shurts
was chosen cashier. In the fall of 1884
he was elected treasurer of Lawrence
county and was re elected in 1856, sery-
ing four years Owing to falling health
he then went down to Rapid where he
was clerk of the land office again, until

the courts of this county in the fall Of
1894.

What Electricity 10 Doing.

The Mining and Scientific Press thus
sums up the uses to which electricity is
applied. 1t enters into the preparation
OF what we eat, drink and wear, and
there are many articles of utility now
produced by its aid. The residents of
many cities In the United States have
their houses protected, lighted and
heated by electricity. They 60 to their
places of business in cars run bv cleo
tricity, the elevator by which they reach
their Office in high buildings, or the
machinery in their factory, is run by
electricity. The bell which sum mons
them to church is run by electricity and
the church organ is played by electricity.
Electricity brings the news to them
from all parts of the earth; stamps their
letters, automatically sounds the alarm
in case of fire, rings the door bell, cooks
the food, and fans them while eating {.
When they 60 to the dentist their teeths
are drilled and filed by electricity, and
miniature electric lamps are now con.
structed for the use of doctors in dag
nozing diseases. The patient swallows
lighted lamp. which eliminates his
person so as to enable the physician to
make correct diagnosis. The barber
cuts or singes the hair by means OF
electricity, the streets are lighted and
the farm cultivated bv it. BY means Of
it we can talS with our friends 500 or
! 900 miles away and hear their voices
as distinctly as though they were in the
same room. The telephone is perhaps
in more general use in this country than
electric lighting. Even in small towns
telephones form part of the funiture
of many private houses, and are used to
transmit orders to the butcher, baker,
etc. There are now some IS electric
railways in the United States and 5000
miles of track employing $4,000 cars.
With the aid of electricity natural forces
which have heretofore run to waste are
being turned to the service Of mankind.
The American river has already been
made to furnish motor power by which
Sacramento is lighted, and by which its
street cars and factories are run, and
new projects are in pr.gress all over the
state.

Looking After the Telephones.

-.~-A-------s o - ss-----f--
of the Black Hills system, were in the
city looking after the affairs of that cor
poration. The gentlemen spent day
before Yesterday at Hot Springs on the
same business and it is understood that
it has been decided to cease operations
in that city. Yesterday the gentlemen
were engaged in determining whether
the company could receive enough sup
port from local subscribers TO continue
to operate here or not. They received
orders for seventeen phones, but In or
der to continue business in the city at
least thirty subscribers must be had. 1t
is not known whether the necessary
number can be secured, but in case they
cannot it means that all that will be left
of the system in the city will be toll
station. The cut in the rates for local
phones to 81 80 per month for private
residence and S35O for business houses
may be the means of getting the neces-
sary number Of subscribers to still have
the system in the city.-Rapid Joui nal
