the style of running that they had adopted
two days before The low cards were paired,
but nobody was able to catch two picture

For eleven hours the cards were dealt,
and nobody had been able to open the jack
pot The pot had increased in value more
than $500
Finally, Traverse brought his fist down
on the table with a thump, and said:
Boys, let's send niger to Mays Land

The proposition was favored, and negro
was dispatched on horseback for the cards.
1t was long and tedious journey in those
days. and 1t was several hours before the
negro returned When he did the men sat
down and opened the game once more. Ira

Duncan.
Everybody whstled.

Everybody took five cards excepting Dun

Duncan saw the $4,000 and raised it the

MANY WOMEN MENACED.
They Find strong Defense Against
Danger That Moves Near.

"Consumptlve Wasting away Losing
hcshl Tired OUT ENhaustedr
These are all different ways of describing
one great form OF weakness from which
thousands OF women are suffering. They
are nervous, thin-faccd women who lack
brightness vvacity and seem to be con-
tinually weak. exhausted and worn out
They are usually sallow, dyspeptc and
never have a fresh healthy color, Many
OF them realize that they are in danger of
contracting quick consumption and would
gladly learn how to gain Increased vigor
health and strength. II Is for the beneht
of such women that the following words
have been specially printed:
Mrs. NJ. Necson, 272 nth ST., Brooklyn
~ Y, writes by the use of Duffys pure
malt whiskey have gained increased health
ard strength, and today am feeling better
than l have felt for many years. 1t is an
excellent preparation and can strongly rec
ommend It,"
Thousanda Of opinions similar to the
above have been constantly received from
ladies whose health has been restored and
whose lives have been saved by this great
stimulant Their words prove beyond ques-
tion that Duffys pure malt whskey cannot
be equaled. Nothing so speedily creates
healthy appetite, tones up the digestive or
gans and purhes the blood 1t gives
strength and nourishmeLt when everything
else fails. All grocers and druggists keep
Duffys. but care should be taken to get
the genuine.

SCHOOL hoard DECLARED voID.
Negligence In Its Issue Renders IL
Entirely Invalid.

PIERRE, S. d.. Nov. .-(Special)-In
the case OF G. Livingston against School Dis
trlct No Z, Brookings county, which was
decided by the supreme court last week, the
question at issue Is the validity Of bond
issued by the district. Under authority OF
a special act OF the legislature Of the terri
tory in 1879 the school district was author
lied to Issue bonds In a sum not to exceed
81 600 and that IN the issue OF such bonds
they should not be OF greater amount
than $500 nor of lesser amount than 500.
The district contracted for the construction
of a school building and in payment for the
erection of the same issued a bond for
81 400 In the opinion written by Justice
Haney the holding OF the court is in sub
stance:
No question of fact is involved; nothing
hut mere question of law. What construc-
tion shall be given the sta;ute2 The bond
does not comply herewith. Is the pro-
vision In respect to denomination limi-
tation upon the power conferred or merely
a direction as to the manner Of It's eNer-
else. Assuming $500 was required to pay
for defendants school house, and as al
legged In the complaint, such house WAS tur-
nished by the original payees, by whom the
bond was taken without discount, 1t may
be suggested that the district could not
be affected by the fact that payment was
made with, a single bond of s,4oo; when
there should have been two of $500 each
and one of 500. Doubtless In this particu-
lar instance the materiality of the differ

requirement does not concern this court.
There are occasions in which the denomina-
tion of municipal securities is q matter OF
vital Importance a matter peculiarly within
the legislative discretion. Should the court
disregard the plain provisions of this spe-
cial statute and substitute its own notions
of public policy for those adopted by the
legislature, a way would be open for the
annulment of all restrictions upon the exer-
else of municipal powers.
Defendants officers and the original
payces of the bond sued upon either wan

power to issue bonds of :, certain and

such a bond as the one sued upon; there

vention all political equality clubs are in

Simmons of Huron, Eva G. Myers OF Ornis-
tota, Hannah V. Best of Miner, NJ. j. Shell
don of Sioux Falls, Rev. Henrietta Lyman
of Pierre and Alice NJ. Pickler of Faulkton,
has issued the following address:
The aim of this convention shall be to
arouse that divine discomfort which shall
be to make women ashamed to remain
longer in the attitude OF wards in their
own country; to stir the dormant sense of
justice which shall make men unwilling to
monopolize all power, as II women were
not to be trusted.
We cannot, as women, be considered free
moral agents until we are enfranchised.
The influence of their own children is ham
pered, their attempts at work of philan-
thropy enfecbled, their position in the in
dustrial world endangered, so long as they
remain political minors constrained to
obey laws which they have no voice in
making
The mission of the South Dakota Equal
Rights association is to aweken public
opinion to the necessity of bringing the
practice of our state government into har-
mony with the professed principle. Pro-
Tossing itself a government of the people
when II is actually an oligarchy of the pre-
ferred class. Processing that the citizens
of the state shall be entitled to all the priv
ileges and immunties. and says in the bill
of rights section 81 THE blessings of a
free government can only he maintained
by n firm adherence to justice" and yet
deliberately permits one-half of it's people
0he women people) to be deprived OF the
government-the use of the ballot. We seek
to bring to the notice of the people such
gross Inconsistencies between profession
demned in the interest of public morality.
In laboring for enfranchisement women
work, therefore, not only for themselves.
but for the establishment of state honor
and the elevation of the whole human race.

ECONOMY IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS

Every effort possible is being made by
the city government to reduce expenses

Evans show that the present administration
has met with some success. The follow
ing decreases have been made in the vari-
Gus departments since March l, compared
TO tho same time last year: Salaries Of

ment, 500; printing and supplies, 1896;

decrease of si,765.
The sewer department shows an increase
of $3.50, damage and right of way S1SS,
public buildings and grounds $3.50, city
pound 5000 which, with some other small
increases. leaves the net decrease in the
expenses for the six months, about $4,000.
1t is expected that the second half of the
fiscal year will even make a better show
ing and that the expenses for the whole
