RUFE STILL CONFIDENT
He is Positive of the Election OF MT George
Young.

Sheriff Rufus Cone was in fine fumor
yesterday when reporter for the Eagle
called al his Office. He began his usual
roast and did 1t cleverly. 1t is a matter
of much enjoyment to be roasted by the
sheriff, he does the job so neatly and
then gives balm for the wounds in the
shape of cigar. Rufus is still betting
that George Young will have a thous-
and majority. He offered TO bet the re-
porter six thousand dollars in cash that
he would be elected mayor. The words
''in cash" stopped the reporter from
taking the bet, greatly TO his sorrow.
Rufus Cone is a mighty keen. shrewd
fellow and is cognizant OF the entire and
absolute safety of offering 10 bet re-
porter 5000 Gin cash" Rufe is wildly
and intensely enthusiastic in his sup
port of Mr.. Young

One Of the largest retail grocers IN New

70 Morse Brothers. Canton. Mass:
On February IS. 1891. there was sold
direct 70 families from our store AS
boxes of sun Paste stove Polish under
the following guarantee. namely. that Il
Sun Paste was not as good or better
than any paste polish ,hs; they had ever
used. We woul5 give them their money
back for the partly used box. Now re-

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 colec-
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, as un-
less a compromise was effected the
county would lose 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 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.

FORESTRY RESERVE QUAsHED.
President Cleveland's Proclamation Es.
tablishing Reserve in the Hills Re-
voked in the House,

President Cleveland's Proclamation Es-
tablishing Reserve in the Hills Re-
voked in the House.
Ex-President Cleyeland's idiosyn.
cracy in setting apart the timber Of the
Black Hills as a forestry reserve, has
been Knocked into smithereens b, con-
gress, as will be seen by the following
telegram:
WASHINGTON, d. c., June l.-2 p. IN.
-Lllon. q. G. Moodyl-The house has
just agreed to the report of conference
committee on the sundry civil bill on
forestry reservation subject. The bill
now goes to the president for his APP
proval.
Above is telegram from Senator
Petligrew to Judge Moody, and is re.
peal of the proclamation of February
22nd last, by President Cleyeland where
by 22,00O,0O0 acres of public lands were
placed in reserves, among them nearly
1000, 900 acres of the forests and timber
Of this part of the country. The bill as
it now stands, revokes absolutely the
proclamation Of the president Of Febru-
airy 22nd until March lst next, and gives
the president power to continue the re-
vocation after that date if he so thinks
proper. Also appropriates Slj000O for
the purpose Of making thorough investi.
CATION therein and surveys thereof.
The champion of this measure is Senator
Pettigrew, and whatever may be said
about him politically, the fact stands
that hes has in this forestry reserve
question, which is so vital to the inter-
ests Of the Hills, proved himself a
riend Of the Black Hills, and in his
efforts in this as well as other matters
of general interest he has been untir-
ing and they will not be sotten.--pio,

Decided For the Commissioners

Judge Gardner has rendered his de-
cision, says the Rapid Journal, as to
whether the board of county commits
siopers had legal authority to authorize
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.
An action was brought at the last term
OF court to decide the question, the
treasurer wishing to be sure that he was
right in receiving taxes in the manner
ordered by the county commissioners.
The resolution of the board is as fol-
lows: That the county treasurer be
and is hereby authorized and instructed
and empowered to issue receipts in full
to any person, firm or corporation upon
the tender to him of sum of money

Stop Kicking.

The Sioux Falls Argus Leader sub
mits the following sensible advice in q
recent issue which admirably fits the
situation in 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
amentations. 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 seizng them.resolutely,
confidently. No matter how rosy may
be your opportunities you can cloud
them by being despondent 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 and push and success
ont of vD,r
"And why should you kick? Why
should anyone in South Dakota berate
the fates? Is there richer soil on the
face Of the globe? Is there a more
healthful, agreeable and profitable eli
mate in five zones? Is there state in
the union which possesses SO great a
variety, SO vast wealth Of natural re-
sources? Does not South Dakota pres
ent to the settler greater latent wealth
than any of her neighbo does she not
promise huge development a vast sue
cess, and comfort merely in return for
energy, brains and persstency =?
'Is there anything to kick about in
the present situation? Is not the pros
pect as smiling as the most anxious
could wish? Is not 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
showing improvements. new buildings,
new industries, enlargements of old in
every part Of the state? Has not bust
ness everywhere been larger and more
profitable during May than for any
May since 1892? Are not the real
estate offices crowded with inquiries for
South Dakota farms? Are not the farm
ers discharging their obligations and
getting into methods entaiing thrift
and profit? Is not every indication for
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, not to
the depressing circumstances of life.
Resurrect your hope and confidence.
Put your shoulder to the wheel. Push
