THE WAVE OF PROSPERITY.

Banks Dustin everywhere,
Business getting weary,
Music in commercial air
Sounding mig hty dreary!
Faces all a growing long,
Ears are all a ringing,
Tired of listering to the song
Ole McHanna's sin gihg.
Good times coming bye ond bye
That's the yarn they tell US
Ananias couldn't lie
Long O'Hanna's fellows.
Tell us we must hold our grip,
Never ought to weaken
Keep a solid upper lip.
Though the ship is sinking!
Say whe n once Mac gets hold
or the bust ness rudder.
Soon II strike the rising grade.
Land be flush Of money;
Every artery of trade,
Full of milk and honey,
Lord! ifpromises was meat,
Bid good bye TO trouble.
All have more'u 'nough to eat
Get too fat to wobble.

notes the following ruling recently
made in Brown county, this state: "A
justice of the peace decided that the
wife as we'll as the husband could be
held for the payment of subscription
to paper. The evidence showed that
the paper had been taken and read in
the family and therefore the wife was
held liable for the payment. One of
the principal topics for press comment
during the past winter has been the de-
linquent subscriber. There is no class

Money TO Burn

The question of the gradual return Of
prosperity throughout the country as a
result OF the election of Mckinley and
the assurance of republican rule, has
been everywhere evident. but it would
appear from the following article clip
ped from recent issue of the Inde.
pendent, u prominent silver sheet Of
Deadwood, that the term gradual" does
not apply TO that city in this connection,
but that prosperity at its full tide is
already in undisputed evidence. That
paper, under the above caption, says;
Saturday night was probably the
most lively one DeadvooJ has seen in
many years. There was probably more
money spent over the bars Of several Of
the large saloons and gambling tables
than there has been in any one Light
since the days of '77.s when the boys
took it out of the placer claims by the
pan full. One sport is said to have
spent over 81 900. The festivities start
ed early in the evening and continued
AL night. Every body drank wine, and
from the appearance of the crowds that
! thronged the bar rooms everybody was
on hand. The high rollers tried to
outdo each other and case after case Of
champaign was opened and it flowed as
| free as water, and everyone who was
disposed to crowd up TO the bar could
take one OF this or that sport who was
demonstrating what good fellow he
was. The gang who was enjoying and
/ getting loaded on the delightful bever-
age at the expense of the sports woke
| their friends from their slumbers and
informed them of the ''pudden," until
the crowd swelled to such a number
that it was almost impossible to get
inside the house where the treating was
going on. From business standpoint
this kind Of money spending is not a
bad indication and shows that there is
plenty Of money in circulation"

The New Liquor Law.

If our memory serves us correctly we
have heard somebody remark that
South Dakota has new liquor law.
They tell US it was q sort Of high license
and local option, double geared affair
that was brought about as a compromise
measure to satisfy everybody. That is
all right but what 10 the law? 1t is
said by members Of the legislature that
the measure as presented was changed
over and over again until it's author
didn't recognize it and We doubt ifthere
was single legislator who voted for it
who can now explain it.
The impression was prevalent that an
emergency clause was attached to the
measure which put it in operation at
once. Acting upon this theory num-
Der Of the towns in the Black Hills have
fixed the amount Of their license.
The county commissioners considered
the matter during their session yester.
day, and came TO the conclusion that
there was an emergency clause attached
to the bill, and, therefore, there is no
occasion for any action until after the
lst Of July. They are not possessed Of
4 copy CT the law, and we doubt if there
is such thing in the whole Black Hills.
The subject was discussed at meet
ing Of the city council Monday evening.
and Mayor Star takes the same position,
consequently nothing was done nor will
any action be taken until it is known
definitely what the law is. We are OF
the opinion that the towns that have
fixed their license have been n little
too previous.-Deadwood Times.
The Times, which has always been
conducted under the supervision OF 9
man Of affairs, who has been hitherto
up to date in all matters affecting hi:
locality, must confess to being lit.l,
tardy in catching OH in this instance
The action taken by the authorities ir
this place, as We persume it was in al
other towns of the state, was based upor
thorough knowledge of the provision
of the law, copies of which, containing
the emergency clause, having been 70
some time in their possession. Upol
further consideration Of the matter, tn
Times will doubtless imbibe differen
conclusion as to the "too previous" char
acter Of the action Of the towns in fxin
their license under the new law.
