The rumblings of discomfort
are becoming louder, and louder,
and they will never cease until
they are heard, and not only
heard, but needed. The time is
getting ripe very fast when the
people will rise in their might,
and forever render impossible
such a. thing as "hillion dollar
congress-" What have you to
say voters, to this fact, in such
distressful times? do you want
any more "hillion dollar con-
gresses2' do you want two dis
tinct classes of American citi-
zens; one peasant and the 9TH
er goldbug-plutocratic class?
or do you wish to have all dis
tinctions wiped out and our
country be a country of homes,
and happy ones at that? if so,
vote for the money that is good
only When used; that is the poor
mans money, as well as the rich;
that cannot be boarded or con-
trolled as sugar, or any other
commodity; but a money which
can do good only on the move,
which is better TO start factories
and workshops, and which will
find employment for our idle
workers. Don't be deceived by
this sound money" rot, or the
"honest money hogwash, for
the agitators and advocates of
such "a "schemen are either
knaves, or very ignorant people;
they are those who have never
been weaned from the party
teat, and although they are old,
they have never got out of the
old groove that their grandfath-
ers shuftled along in; SO it
stands to reason that they are
not safe guides. We know ~ here
we are at" SO let us look up this
honestly, and vote our
intelligence, vote our manhood,
vote our independence of party
Issues and come out of the fog of
political superstition.

to make an assessment Of $50 upon each

one million Of assessed valuation in the
state, which will! raise, in around numbers,
the sum of $1,000. The fifth circuit,
which comprises the counties of Brown,
Beadle, Sphinx, Marshall and Day, and
has an assessed valuation of S21, 977, 266,
can be employed to good advantage to
illustrate the system which will be used.
On the $50 basis, this circuit will be ex-
pected to contribute 81, O9S .85, of which
Brown county's amount will approx
mate 1915.
A resolution was also passed that every
non resident real estate holder be re-
quested to contribute to the fund at the
rate of 81 for each quarter section of land
so held. 1t was figured that the indi-
viduai cost to the citizens of the state
would amount to only two cents per
capita or ten cents a family.
Secretary Narregang was instructed
to at once prepare a letter to the public,
setting out the aims, purposes, methods,
ETC., of the organization, which is to be-
printed in a $4,000 lot and circulated in
the state in order that every citizen may
be well informed. Committeeman Bald
win was also instructed to prepare the
official bonds of the officers of the asso-
citation, each in the sum of 81, 900, to be
approved by the clerk of court of the
county in which the officer may reside
and to be filed with the state treasurer
at Pierre. Instructions were also given
Committeeman Brown, of Sioux Falls,
to have prepared the draft of a colored
map, for the approval Of the committee,
showing the Sioux and James valleys OF
the state, the stock ranges and mining
belt.
The foregoing will give a fair idea Of
what has been accomplished. The next
move is to raise the money to carry on
the work. The member of the board
from each circuit has this in hand, and
at the meeting each member was sure
the money could and would be raised
in their respective districts. We need
not urge this action, as all must see at a
glance it takes money for all purposes.
We shall endeavor to get a dollars
worth of benefit to the state for each
one expended. AS soon as the funds
are on hand vigorous methods will be
used to obtain the desired end and We
trust every citizen OF the state, as well
as those outside who have kindred inter-
ests with US, will put their shoulders to
the wheel. This money, in n sense,
is only loaned, as each new settler be-
comes a taxpayer, and in a few years at
most the bread now cast upon the
waters will return a hundred fold.
We ask your favorable and early con.
sideration of this subject, as slime u
money!" and we have none to spare.

Resolved, That it is the conviction Of
this body that the state of South Dako-

u IHlB DOtlI thdJ IL VI AOouLu DdhO-
ia needs 10 exaggerated and boom ad-
vertising-her vast mineral
her wonderful artesian basin for water
power and irrigation purposes, the rich
grasses of her prairies, the productive
ness of her soil, and her salubrious eli
mate, together with her excellent school
system and her churches and other ele-
ments of an advanced civilization
planted here by her c~itizens-all these
when properly and ~truthfully spread be-
TO attract to our dominions the most de-
sirable class of settlers from other parts
of the United States and foreign lands.
The cost of maintaining end carrying
forward this work shall be equally dr
vided among the counties according to
the assessed valuation.
At a meeting of the executive board,
held at the Office of the secretary in
Aberdeen, January I'D and I'D, the
treasurer introduced the following reso-
luton, which was unanimously adopted:
As citizens Of South Dakota we are
bound to each other by commercial,
industrial, social and fraternal ties.
We recognize as our duty to aid and
encourage, by all honorable means, any
movement which will benefit the whole
or any portion of the state, for the
prosperity or adversely of any portion
effects, to some extent, the entire state.
The dignity of manhood should raise
Us above the ordinary acceptation of the
name ''real estate rustler," and his
methods, and clothe us in the loyalty of
citizenship of the state of South Dakota,
having at heart the real and abiding
welfare Of our homes. In order to
properly serve IL state we must under
| stand her various Alright and
insist that this information be published
without eyaggeration or misrepresenta-
ton in any ann We have suffered
in the past and are suffering now from
tie wild and irresponsible, misleading
representations thrown broadcast until
real estate literature is looked upon as a
carefully studied batch of lies. In
attempting to inform ourselves, in order
that We may inform others in regard to
the agricultural and mineral wealth of
our state. we should consider the sub
ject with great care and thoroughness,
admitting that there is no mistake in
the economy of nature. That which
appears to US wrong is fright not rightly
understood" and that each particular
section of our state is rich in its peculiar
manner. There is no state in the union
less understood or more misunderstood
than South Dakota. This results from
the great variety of conditions. We
have extending Tor many miles into the
eastern border the p~rairies and climate
of Iowa and Minnesota. This section
is popularity known as the big Sioux
Valley" Beyond this is the artesian
basin, which We are just beginning to
understand. West Of this belt is the
grazing land, and joining on the west
OF this range are the Black Hills mines.
The state may &c divided into four
great belts and each of these belts has
peculiar advantages to which we invite
the careful investigation Of the home
seeker.
In order to secure the "sinews of war"

Slam! Ker-jam! went the heels of that old mule against the frail sides of that wagon and it's load of potatoes, and for a time 1t fairly rained potatoes and pieces of wagon.
 The owner had just settled on price for the load of potatoes when he heard a sound as of a cyclone coming. He hastened to the door to see what was the cause thereof, He could scarce be- lieve his eyes. There, before his aston ished vision, was 9Old Pete'' working his heels just as merrily as he had done when he was a two-year-old, while the chain traces clanked responsive sym hhony to the touches of the mules heels. Visions of various and sundry saplings that he had worn to a frazzle to get Pete out of a walk rose before his astonished vision, and he ould not account for it.
 Finally a negro discovered that it was all caused by lone O dem 'lectric wires ? and he went at the wire wire with 8 hatchet to cut 1t. He was about as as- tonished as the mule when the hatchet went up in the air and he received a severe shock. But his act caused a transformation scene. All the gayety left "Old Pete'' as suddenly as it had come and he once more relapsed into a thoughtful mood, while the owner went around gathering up the fragments of the wagon and potatoes that remained.

YORK IND WAGES.

Farmer" Coffin of Fort Dodge has addressed an argument to railroad men which all men in this country who work for a living should consider. He says: We want gold; we want silver; we want paper bills These we have had without stint for the last two de- cades. The only reason any of you who are holding down good jobs have not had more of this money Is because you could not crowd more days work into each month as it passed by. La bor," days work" was what you have had to buy this money with. If we change to silver, does it increase your capacity to earn more? Will it give you more days in the month? Your rule has always been "an honest days pay for an honest days work" You have been having that all along, only they tell you that your days pay being in gold has been constantly advancing in value and will buy more now than ten years ago, and still they want you to vote that gold away and try some thing else, which, unless backed by the fiat of the government, is worth only a little more than half as much as what you now get, even without the govern ment stamp on it. Melt 1t up or pound it up, and it will buy just as much still but that which they want you to vote for if you should have lot of 1t in the house after the pay car came around and paid you your months wages, and the house burned down and it was melted, 1t would cut your months pay nearly one-half.
 A vote for Bryan means vote for lower wages. And yet he and his gang profess to love the workingman more than anything or anybody else, except free silver. {P

4 BTCYCnE FIRE ENGINE.

There were several very interesting objects in the bicycle parade last even- ing, including beauteous and bewitching beings in becoming bloomers, but there was no fire engine propelled by cycling firemen. In some future parade in New Haven there will probably be such an engine, because New Haven wants the best there is in fire apparatus and the bicycle fire engine appears to be good
 has the appearance of two tandem bi-
 cycles, coupled, with a single steering
 post. Hanging between the two bicy-
 cle frames are the hose reel and a TO- tary pump. The whole outfit weighs
 less than 140 pounds, and four experi-
 enced wheelmen can push this along faster than any other fire engine ever went The foot power of the four men propels the machine to the scene of &C., | ton, and when once there the same power pumps the water. After the ar- rival at the scene each man is assigned | to some part of the duty of making the | change. One raises the back of the | machine on leg, allowing the rear wheels to revolve freely. He also | throws the pump into working order | and the others have unreeled the hose l
 | and made the coupling connections I Then, jumping into the saddles again, | the energies of the men are directed
 to pumping About 4,5O0 gallons of wa ter per hour can be thrown between
 seventy-five and one hundred feet in the
 air. The rapidity with which the ma- | chine can be propelled to a fire and al-
 so with which it can be put into action
 are it's two great advantages. In two
 or three minutes after it's arrival all
 necessary changes can be made and the
 machine is pumping a stream over the roof
 With bicycle engine added to it's equipment the New Haven Fire de-
 partment could do even more effective
 work than it does.
