equal in amount to the sum due upon
the personal property assessed to the
person, firm or corporation making such
tender of money in payment therefor,
which tender shall not be required to
include the penalty or interest charged
theron for any year prior to 1896.
This action with regard to the collec-
ton Of personal taxes bears on its face a
partial relief at least for the adjustment
of affairs in this line. The action was
made imperative in many cases, rs I'M
less a compromise was effected the
county would lose n large amount that
could be gotten in this way but that
would otherwise be lost. The law pass
sed at the last session of the state legisla-
ture governs the collection of personal
taxes in a very effective manner There
is every reason at this time to believe
that the action taken by the commits
sioners in this matter was for the best
interests of the county.

A Burglar Fooled.

A would be burglar, presumably from
Deadwood, where they are reported as
recently having become a disturbing
element, made a dual effort to gain en-
trance to the residence of NJ. A. Willis
at a late hour on Tuesday night. The
first attempt was made near the hour Of
midnight, when Mr.. Willis was awaken
ed BY a slight noise at n rear door, and
upon getting up and going to IL window,
he plainly discerned the form ola man
at the door trying to effect an entrance by
means of key. Mr.. w ventured an in
quiry as TO the nature of the intruders
business at his door a. that unseemly
huor OF the night, and receiving no re.
spouse supplemented the inquiry by a
brief, but poin,el warning of the danger,
and probablefa'al consequence ofthe fur
ther continuation of his visit, when the
! intruder quickly vanished from sight.
Surprising tins to be the end Of the mat
ter, Mr.. w again retired, and to his
surprise, before he had closed his eyes
in slumber, the william in the midnight
drama was again at the door seeking to
accomplish his previously thwarted pur.
pose. This second attempt on the part
of the maraudcr intensified the ire of
Mr.. w, and arming himself with a load
ed rifle, he proceeded to a window, and
drawing the curtain asi,le he plainly
saw the burglar who was making siren.
nous efforts to effect an entrance. lie
then presented his gun, and the bore in
the barrel being in such position as to
make it an easy matter for the burglar
to determine the critical situation lie
was placed in, he did not wait for any
further explanation, but presumably
having urgent business elsewhere, i'm
mediately decamped, was soon lost to
view in the darkness of the night and
not afterward seen. In view of the
reported presence of a large number of
crooks in other towns of the Hills at
this time, it might be well for our folks
to be on their guard and provide them
selves with a gun, which is the most
effective means Of protection against
these vile and lawless characters.

Memorial Day

Was appropriately celebrated in this
place on Saturday under the auspices of
Gen. Steele Post No. o., G.. A. r. The
exercises at the opera house were large
ly attended where the excellent pro-
gram prepared by the committee was
presented, as were the beautiful and
impressive services at the cemetery,
where the graves of the dead soldiers
were deliberately decorated. during
the twelve years embraced in the life
Of Gen. Steele post, there has been no
failures on its part to provide for the
proper observance Of Memorial day,
and it is pleasing to note, ms an indica-
ton Of the growth of patriotism, and a
proper appreciation Of the great service
rendered the na'ion by its brave defend.
ers, that upon no former occasion has
there been so much interest manifested
upon the part of the community as was
noted on this occasion.
The city was literally a sea of flags
which kissed the passing breeze from
almost every housetop, and myriads of
flowers bright and fragrant lent an adj
ditional attraction to the grand and
solemn scene The Memorial address
by ii. ID. Reynolds of this city, who has
on former similar occasions so eloquent
ly and appropriately addressed the
people Of this community, was in line
with his former efforts in its eloquent
and patriotic character, and was greatly
appreciated by his auditors. Others
taking part in the exercises are entitled
to much praise for the ve:y able man
ner in which they rendered their re-
spective parts, and, without detracting
from the credit Of others, we cannot re-
frain from making special mention Of
the able rendition Of "The Angel of
Buena VISTA" by Miss Elsie Kleemann,
which was exceptional in its rendering,
eliciting, as it did, the highest encomi-
ums Of an appreciative audience. The
quartette, which furnished the music
for this occasion, embraced the follow
ing popular local singers: Mesdames
Burton and Wood and Messrs Bailey
and Willis. The songs selected were
appropriate, and their harmonious and
faultless rendering was delightful and
charming to the large audience who
gave an attentive ear to each recurring
number. The procession headed by the
Custer Drum Corps, with the Custer
Guards next in the order, as an escort to
the Grand Army post, which followed.
and the carriages, horsemen and foot
men which were in line. was q very
imposing feature, and in the order
named proceeded to the cemetery where
the exercises Of the day were fttingly
closed by the decorating Of the soldiers
graves as above stated.

Another Legislative Blunder.

Another legislative blunder has been
discovered In the work ofthe legislature,
says q Yankton special. A bill was in
troduced in the senate detaching Union
county from the First judicial circuit
and attaching it to the Second circuit,
and fixing the time for holding terms OF
court in each county of the two circuits.
This bill was amended in the house by
changing these dates. There is no re.
cord that the bill was returned to the
senate for its concurrence in the amend.
ment, or that it was again acted upon by
that body. Now it is announced that
the validity of the law will have to be
passed upon by the supreme court be-
fore another term of court can be held
in Union county.

Stop Kicking.

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader sub
mits the following sensible advice in q
recent issue which admirably fits the
situation in Il number Of restless COM
munities where the suggestions offered,
if needed, cannot be otherwise than
exceedingly beneficial, end the CHRoN-
IcLE takes special pleasure in commend
ing it TO the attention of its local read
ers: "Stop kicking. If good times are
about TO return you can retard them by
looking sour and filling the air with
Ia lamentations. If times are hard you
can make them ten fold harder by dis
heartening the energetic and confident
and cheerful. If you are not successful
yourself it is the height of selishness,
it is criminal to attempt to drag others
down into the slough of despond.
Moreover no matter how hard the con-
ditions which surround you they will
be lightened by Selling them.resolutely,
confidently. No matter how rosy may
be your opportunities you can cloud
them by being respondent and dissatis-
fed; by complaining and decrying fate
you can sap your own energies, destroy
your own chances, make your friends
dislike you, make customers avoid you,
so far as your influence goes take the
life and enterprise aud push and success
out Of your community.
"And why should you kick? Why
should anyone in South Dakota berate
the fates? Is there a richer soil on the
face of the globe? Is there a more
healthful. agreeable and profitable eli
mate in five zones? Is there a state in
the union which possesses so great a
variety, SO vast II wealth Of natural re-
sources? Does not South Dakota pres
ent to the settler a greater latent wealth
than any Of her neighbors, does she not
promise huge development a vast sue
cess, and comfort merely in return for
energy, brains and persistency
as there anything to kick about in
the present situation? Is not the pros
pect as smiling as the most anxious
could wish? Is not a larger crop spring
ing from the ground than the state has
known for years? Is not the ground
soaked full Of water, the weather per-
fectly fitted for the proper growth of
grain? Are not reports coming in daily
CHI urIn n inn trnt, 40 ,nnt ,na,. l,.Il..-a
new industries, engagements of old in
every part Of the state? Has not bust
ness everywhere been larger and more
profitable during May han for any
May since 1892? Are not the real
estate offices crowded with inquiries for
South Dakota farms? Are not the farm
crs discharging their obligations and
getting into methods entailing thrift
and profit? Is not every indication for
a large forward movement for this state
and all its communities?
What is there 20 kick about? Kick
ing can only serve to retard the good
times coming, to make you and your
neighbors miserable, to prevent the
very accomplishment which we desire.
Stop kicking. Look cheerful. Give
your attention to the encouraging, moi to
the depressing circumstances of life.
Resurrect your hope and confidence.
Put Jour shoulder to the wheel. Push
for every ounce of strength you have.
Encourage those about you who are
weak. Then the good times will come.
Then you will help your fellowmen.
Then you will prosper yourself.

Decided For the Commissioners.

Judge Gardner has rendered his de-
%cision, says the Rapid Journal, as to
whether the board of county commits

the annulment of interest and penalty
on peronal taxes due previous to 1896.
His honor found that the commissioners
were legally sustained in the procedure.

right in receiving taxes in the manner

The venerable editor of the Keystone
Miner is evidently very much dissatis-
fed with the isolated condition of that
place, and extremely desirious of hav.
ing the camp placed in railroad connec-

vital topic: 1--WE want u railroad! The

II KEYSTONE.
All the tedious exasperating prelim.
inaries in the great Keystone deal have
now been settled and Col. Cecil Morgan
is now ready to begin the serious, but
to us much more satisfactory and tam
gible business Of further opening up
the mine and building mills. The Min
er is authorized to say that this work
will actually begin on the first day Of
June, next Tuesday, and before the next
issue Of this great moral and meta
physical paper, the busy hum of indus
try and the wave of prosperity will have
struck and transformed the town. Col.
Morgan is authorized to build an addi-
tional mill of sixty stamps, whenever
the development will warrant, besides
refitting the present forty stamp mill
with new machinery, and also building
q twenty five ton smelter. All this
work, in addition TO the underground
work Of mining, is to be pushed forward
as fast rs possible in the expectation Of
having everything in operation by the
middle of August. With the additional
openings which will have been made
and with the aid Of a double deck cage
in constant operation Col. Morgan is
confident that from the large ore body
now exposed that one hundred stamps
can be supplied at a cost Of mining and
milling Of less than one dollar per ton,
This small cost, compared to the value
Of the ore. will constitute q business
proposition to satisfy the most exacting,
and as the extent of these large ore
bodies is almost limitless in the Key
stone district and are as yet almost un-
touched, the demonstration of such a
business proposition will incite other
capital to like efforts and will make of
this the busiest and most prosperous
section Of the richest hundred miles
