O'ER THE GRAVES
Continued From First Page.

each succeeding year it has gathered
force, until now every loyal, patriotic
citizen honors himself by responding
heartily to it's observance.
Thus we have briefly traced the his
tory of our country during it's most
crucial period up to the present time.
Today our nation stands secure, first
among the great powers eof the civil
lied world. But what of the Republic?
What OF its futureo l am not a pes
simist! much prefer to live in con-
slant communion with hope, and am
not yet ready to yield to dispair. That
there are wrongs to be righted cannot
be questioned. That there are evils to
conquer cannot be gainsaid. But l
believe that the intelligence of our
people will be sufficient to eradicate
the evils and cling to that which is
good.
Reforms are needed, and they will
come. Not by the sword, but by the
exercise of wisdom in the conduct of
national affairs.
He then referred briefly to soma of
the evils besetting us, among which
was the indiscriminate immigration
permitted by our laws, and the ease
with which-without proper prepera-
tion-the ballot was secured by those
who come to our shores from the old
world. Our limited space will not per-
nit OF more extended notice.

Rev. Mr.. Burleigh pronounced the

Criticisms on the Rich.

Civilization is very complex affair.
So long as the laws Of the land are not
violated the rich mans private expend-
itures are as strictly matter to be con-
trolled by his own taste and judgment
as the expenditures Of the poor man.
Capital in this country in our genera
tion has been eminently and conspicu-
ously devoted to economic production
and has not to any appreciable extent
been diverted and wasted in wanton
luxury. 1t is none of the public's bust
ness how the millionaire monopolist
spends his money, but it is in the high
est degree the public's business how he
has gained it-especially how it came to
pass that he obtained the franchise or
public privilege or other favorable op-
portunity by means of which he has en-
riched himself. Review of Reviews.

HICKS ON JUNE WEATHER.

His Forecast Replete With Storms, Show
ers and Pleasant, Warm Weather.
While Hicks did not come very close
to his May predictions in this locality,
he offers something good in the way of
moisture for June. The storm con-
ditions passing from west 10 east
during the last days of May will be
subsidiDg to the eastern parts of the
country The first day or two of June.
Pleasant weather, generally, will pre-
vail during the first week OF the month,
the greatest tendency to storm condi-
tlons falling about the 4th to 9th. On
these dates the temperature will rise,
the barometer will fall and showers will
occur in various parts of the country.
Cool nights and pleasant days will con-
tinue up to about the 9Th, in most parts
OF our continent. A Vulcan storm per-
lod is central on the 10th, extending
from the Sth to 13. During this period
the moon passes from the ti-st quarter
on the equator on the Sth, to the ex-
treme south declination and full on the
l4th, passing her perigee, or nearest
approach to the earth on the l3. This
period is also coincident with the reg
ular magnetic disturbance, central al
ways about the 1 of June. 1t will be
natural, therefore, to expect much
electrical display, many showers and
sudden gusts breaking into violent
'hunder and wind storms in many sec,
tlons, from about the 10th until after
'he full moon on the 14th. Showery
threatening weather will most likely
continue during the reactionary dis

THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

The Board Passed n Resolution Against
the Adoption of Uniform Text Books.
There was not much regular business
to be brought before the meeting OF the
board OF education Friday evening and
in this line the janitors of the three
school buildings in the city were re-
elected to their previous positions.
The matter of the new school law re-
quiring uniformity of text books
throughout the county was up for dis
cussion and the following resolution
was adopted by the board
Whereas, the last legislature of the
state passed law entitled IAN act to
provide county uniformity OF text books
and TO create u county board of educa-
tion to meet June 8, 1897, for the pur-
pose OF selecting and adopting school
text books and,
Whereas, it having come to the
kno Wedge of the board of education
of the city of Mitchell, S. D., that an
effort is being made to change the
text books or portion Of them, now in
use in our schools; be it
Resolved, that we deeply deplore any
such action by the county board of
education, which action would entail q
hardship upon the citizens of our city
inasmuch as the books now in use are
satisfactory in every way and are en-
dorsed by the superintendent OF the
city schools and the teachers thereof.
The teachers who had been engaged
at former meeting returned their
contracts to Clerk Wallace signed and
accepted.

Whose Was It9

A scholar travelling in the east says
that he was once in camp with his
friend Ramsay, man of kindred tastes,
in a wretched Phrygian village far from
the track of travellers. AS they were
striking tents in the morning heavy
faced boy brought Mr.. Ramsay hand
full of bronze for sale. He sorted it rap
idly on the palm Of his hand and found
among the rubbish one very rare coin Of
Hierapolis. Then he put it all back
again in the boy s outstretched palm and
offered half dollar FOR the lot. The boy
accepted the bid, gave back the handful,
took his money and disappeared while
the exultant purchaser went shuckling
off among the horses.
Ten minutes later the boy appeared
again, and, going up to the other Eng
lishman, offered another handful Of rub
bish among which was the same rare
Metropolitan coin. Th gentleman kept
the bronze in his hand and offered a
half dollar for it, which the boy refused,
though the bargain was eventually con-
cluded for dollar.
Then the gentleman, in high. glee,
nailed his companion and, showing his
purchase, informed him that he was not
the only man who possessed coin OF
Hierapolis.
''Let us compare, +" said the other,
emptyiug the pocket where his bronze
was jingling.
He sorted the lot and felt in every
pocket. No coin of Hierapolis was there.

DEPOT BONDS PREMIUM.
1t Properly Belongs to the Harbor
Commission.

When the Harbor Commissioners sold
the $500 600 worth of bonds voted by
the people of the State to erect a ferry
depot at San Francisco they received a
premium on them of 81 ,125, which they
claimed they should have and use as
they did the bonds
Controller Colgan was in doubt on the
matter, and in order to satisfy himself
asked the Attorney-General for an
opinion on the subject, which he re-
ceived yesterday, and which is as fol-
lows:
Hon. E. P. Colgan, State Controller:
In reply to your question as to whether
or not the premium of 81, 1875 realized
from the sale of the 100000 worth of
bonds issued under the San Francisco
Depot Act (Stats. 1891, p. 100 can be
expended in addition to the principal
sum of 100000 for the construction
and furnishing of the building erected
under that Act, 1 am of the opinion
that it can be so used
Section 4 of the Act in question
provides, among other things, that the
proceeds of the sale of such bonds Il
must be kept by the Treasurer
in a separate fund, to be known and
designated as the San Francisco depot
fund, and must be used exclusively for
the building and furnishing of said de-
pot (Stats 1891, 112).
From this it is evident that the Leg
islature intended the entire proceeds
from the sale OF bonds to be used for
the purpose specified and the attempt
ed restrictions upon the cost of the
building contained in the first section of
the Act, if of any effect whatever, can
only mean. read in the light of the pro-
visions above quoted. that such cost is
not to exceed the proceeds from the
colo Of tho bonds"

COTTON PLAIN FOOD.
1t is Best for Children or Adults.

Natural grains, meat and fruit will
make good blood if the digestive ma
chinery of the body is not interfered
with.
The blood when first made goes into
the arteries and is Of a bright red color.
After it has been used some in supply
ing the body it is carried into the veins
and is there a dark red or purple color.
Blood contains the elements to nourish
and build up the body, such as iron,
soda lime, alhumen, etc, etc.
When the powers of the stomach and
the bowels are reduced by lack of vi
tally or by putting coffee and tea into
the stomach, the processes which ma
ture goes through with to change the
food into rich, red blood are seriously
interfered with.
If a man could see what a wet
Blanket" he put over his hard working
friend, the stomach, by putting in cof-
fee whisky or tobacco, when il was
honestly toiling away to do its work
we'll, he would never repeat the outrage
and injustice. 1t is like striking your
friend vicious blow when he is deiv-
ing away for you with might and main.
Don't do il. One feels more respect for
himself when he acts the man and per-
mits no form of abuse to strangle and
spoil the beautiful work being done for
him in the human body. No sort Of fun
on earth Is equal to the fun of being
thoroughly well.
II one wants a pungent, piquant, hot
drink for breakfast lunch or dinner. it
can be had in Postum, the health coffee.
II is made wholly of grains by the
Postum Cereal Company Uimited) Of
Battle Greek, Mich. 1t can be truly
said. 1T makes red blood 1t brews
the deep seal brown color of Mocha; II
creams TO the rich golden brown of
Java, and has an aroma and taste that
makes a man thankful that some one
has at last made a combination of the
grains that gives such a delicious hot
drink that one can readily leave off the
coffee which has been hurting more
than one likes to think of.
Medicines are poor crutches. The only
safety is to use food and drink that the
Creator intended for man, and when
this is done the diseases and sick spells
gradually disappear.
Common sense is quite uncommon eX-
cept with those who give themselves a
shaking now and then and look plainly
at what they are doing. If a person
knows coffee don't hurt him, let him
stick TO ii till he does. then such peo-
pie thoroughly appreciate Postum. Gro

of serious Importance. All your pleas
ure in cycling depends on your wise
choice. The fact that some bicycles
can be bought for less than list price
any others for anything down and

for interest, places all such wheels on

of wheels by legitimate dealers easy.
