The Matter Explained.

A gentleman from our city was in
Omaha recently, says the Hot Springs
Herald, and asked several investors in
western securities what Fall River
county and Hot Springs warrants were
worth. They replied that in Hot
Springs a prominent banker, lawyer
or two, and several men of doubtful oc.
cupation were continually striving to
impress upon the minds of outside
buyers that our warrants are illegal, that
repudiation will eventually follow and
as o result there was no outside demand.
These home speculators are patriots in
deed. The same gang has been oper-
ating for several years to push our war
rants lower and lower to the end that
they may have a monopoly of warrant
buying and tax paying. The ring has
perfect knowledge Of the outside prop
erty owners and by persistent corre-
spondence has secured the contract to
pay practically all taxes for non.
residents. On good authority we have
it that in some instances cash bonuses
are paid to the property owners for the
privilege of paying taxes in order that
80 cent county warrants may be cashsd
at 100 cents on the dollar. II our laws
viii! not reach such scoundrelism they
must be amended. for rascality of that
kind should be punished. Many q
county or town in far worse condition
financially, sells warrants for far more
than our paper 10 worth. Lawrence
county has larger debt than we and
is on cash basis. Men engaged in such
occupation are as black az ever Benedict
Arnold. Today every dollars's worth OF
supplies purchased. or days work done,
costs Fall River county 50 or more. and
oil this fall in price of warrants has
been accomplished within the past two
years. Let every good citizen of our
county use his every effort to advertise
this gang far and wide and as far as
possible curtail their operations for the
future.

Rapid Has Another Fire

Rapid City was the scene of another
fre on Saturday morning last, concern
ing which the Journal says: "The fire
originated in the house of prostitution
kept by Lon Hunt. The origin of the
fire is not definitely known, but several
of the inmates strongly aver that it was
a deliberately planned affair, claiming
that combustibles saturated with
kerosene and placed against the struct-
ure and lighted was the manner in
which the FIRE occurred. There were
four lady occupants OF the house besides
the madam, and it is wonder that q
part if not all were not offered up as a
sacrifice to the fire fiend Two of the
girls who occupied rooms on the second
floor only succeeded in saving their
lives by jumping from the windows.
The inmates lost everything they pos
sessed in the way Of clothing and jewell
~, being placed upon the street in their
bare feet en- dishabille. The madam
suffers loss of about 500 worth OF
furniture, all her wearing apparel.
jewelry, and Sl74 in cash. OF the
money a partial recovery was had by
finding lump of gold and silver coins
melted togethers from which twenty
dollars were realized" Two adjoining
houses we're also destroyed.

A Word for Sheridan.

The recent destruction of the Pen
nington county court house at Rapid
City, is causing more or less discussion
as to the proper site for the new temple
Of cfjustice, the erection Of which is now
being held under serious contemplation.
Whatever may be the decision Of the
commissioners as to the new location, il
may be considered fairly certain that
the site favored by the Hill City News
in the following article, which is taken
from that papers issue Of last week,
will fail TO strike them favorably. That
paper says:
"If the county commissioners have
any doubts where to build the court
house, they might look up the old
records, in which they will probably
find that Sheridan is the county seat OF
Pennington county. and that there in
1877 in the month of August and Sep.
tember the first court was held, presid.
ed over by Judge Bennett. now a resi-
dent of Deadwood. The old court house
site is there yet, and as Sheridan is
legally the county seat of this county,
the commissioners might re-establish il
by building the court house there. 1t
would then be nearer the centre and
more accessible to all of Pennington
county's citizens than Rapid City. where
it was moved in December, 1877, with
out lega. vote, as far as the News man
can remember"

Memorial Day Ohaaryan ae

State Superintendent Crane has sent
out the following communication to the
county superintendents and teachers of
the state, in relation to the observance
of Memorial day by the schools, for
which space is cheerfully given in our
columns:
Decoration day, both North and
South, is becoming the great national
day. 1t is fitting and right that the
generation that shall soon become re-
sponsible for the well-being and the
perpetuity Of our national life should
reslize what il cost to preserve the
nation and to make it free. Greater
than anything else in the education of
this generation, vastly greater than any
question about how many facts and
sciences teacher may have taught his
pupil, is the supreme question, into what
presence he has introduced him before
what standard he has made his pupil
stand for in the answer TO that ques-
ton are involved all the deepest issues
of the pupils character and life. There
can be no nobler presence than that Of
Freedom and no ideal more worthy.
Decoration day not only Peeps alive
historic memories, but as teacher, this
day brings us into the presence of those
who were willing to lay down their lives
that freedom might live and become
regnsnt in this Republic. Ifthe children
in the common schools could feel the in
spiration of Freedoms magic wand, who
could measure their power! They
would become a vast, resistless host.
Think of the l21 millions Of enrolled
pupils in the schools Of this Republic.
No finite mind can comprehend these
numbers. Four times as macy as there
were inhabitants in the thirteen colon.
les when our fathers won liberties for
mankind on the fields from Lexington
to Yorktown. Twice as many as all the
great armies Of the fighting nations on
earth that preserve order to-day. AL
most as many as there were English
speaking people in the world at the be-
ginning of this century. With snch an
army, educated to know what freedom
means, nothing 10 impossible for liberty
and civilization. Therefore we welcome
Decoration day as a teacher and would
profit by its lessons.
please prepare fitting exercises for
this day and, where possible, report for
drty to the nearest G. A. r. Post II
you cannot join with the Post in Me-
mortal exercises conduct exercises in
your own school room. Let both Coun-
ty Superintendent and teacher enter
into this work with will. County
superintendent will please report on or
before June Is, the number of children
taking part in Memorial service"

Auditor Mayhem bad refused TO issue
warrants to the commissioners to cover
the personal expenses that they had
been put to until they produced receipts
to show that such expenses had actually
been incurred. The decision of the
supreme court upholds the auditor.
The dispatch further states that the
court will recognize the new regents of
education as prirna facia officers until
the constitutionality ofthe amendments
to the constitution have been tested.
The court expressed grave doubts as to
their constitutionaiity. This case arose
from an INDUCTION issued by the court,
at the instance Of members of the
board Of regents, to restrain the
auditor from issuing warrants upon the
order Of the new board. This gives the
auditor power to pay the debts con.
tracted by the new board, and the
legitimate expenses Of the state institu-
tions of learning. and will put an end to
a great deal Of embarrassment. The
court will in all probability be called to
pass upon the constitutionality Of this
amendment, bearing upon the organiza-
tion of the board of regents.-Pioneer
