sented bill for $29.33 for lights for
one-third of a month. The council,
however, laid the bill over until 3
further meeting. Some few weeks ago
the council passed resolution declar-
ing the franchise null and void, but
when the company got ready to resume
business after the fire it commenced its
franchise. The council didn't reject
the bill but committee was appointed
to confer with Mr.. Duffie in reference
to new contract. Whether the coun-

Amount Necessary to Run the City.
The meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening was in the nature of
an annual session, when the usual
appropriations we're made for city ex-
penses. There were five aldermen
present when Mayor Fullerton called
the council to order, as follows: Alder
men Beckwith, Burnside, Grace, Koch
and McLaug him. Auditor Smith read
the minutes of the last regular and
three sp.cial meetings, which stood ap-
proved as read. The first matter
of the business was the reading of an
amendment to ordinance l4l, which
was placed on its first reading.
The council then proceeded to make
the appropriation of money for the
various funds to meet the running ex-
penses of the city. Last year the ap-
preparation amounted to SIS, $40, which
was also a reduction from 1896 of sever
al thousand dollars. The amount ap
preciated for this year is Sl4,510, just
81, 900 less than in 1897. The alder
men felt that it would bs the proper
thing to lower the appropriation in the
funds wherever possible and this was
done in several instances, and to show
where the reductions were made the
appropriations for 1898 and 1897 are

MUST STAMP GRAIN CHECKS.
These Arc Regarded in the Same Light
as Bank Checks.

These Arc Regarded in the Same Light
as Bank Checks.
1t seems that grain dealers will not
be exempt from contributing to the
war tax. Collector Houtz, of Omaha,
has sent out letter in reference to the
matter, in which he says: 81 am inn
formed by parties that grain companies
throughout the state of South Dakota
are not stamping grain checks. You
will please investigate and see that the
same are properly stamped, These
slips are orders for the payment of
money. The usual manner of doing
business by these grain companies is
that they issue these checks to farmers
who take them to the bank and tho
bank pays them what the slip calls for.
These slips are used for the same pur-
pose that bank check is and must be
stamped accordingly" The penalty
for failing to stamp the wheat check is
the same as for failing to fulfill the re-
quirements as to bank checks. >

grounds to see the match game for q
purse of $50 between Mitchell and the

lucky and made five rune, three OF
which were on errors. Mitchell drew

IN TROUBLE WITH UNCLE SAM

South Dakotan Will Probably Forfeit Cat
tie Under the Revenue Laws.
A Sioux Falls special says: The
United States district attorney for
South Dakota, through Marshal Ken
nedy, has seized GAL head of cattle, the
property of E. b. Hineman, of McPher-
son county. These cattle were purchas-
ed in Manitoba and entered this coun-
try through the port at Pembina. The
valuation placed on them by Mr.. Hine-
man WAS much less than the govern
ment thought they were worth and q
new appraisement was ordered. The
new appraisement raised the value o1
the stock some Sl0,955, which, with the
fine for undervaluation, will make nice
sum for Mr.. Hineman to pay the goY
