RAPID CITY, S. D., June 24.-The
sheep shearing season has commenced
In those parts of the Hills where sheep
raising Is carried on. 1t is rather late
owing to the difficulty in getting
shearers as soon as they are needed.
The clip will be unusually large this
year on account of the cold winter
The sheep ranges are in a fine condi-
ton and large numbers of sheep have
already been brought in this season
and have commenced to fatten. The

IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
Has just Been Established for CaIifor-
mia Fig SYrnn Co.

mia Fig Syrup Co.
An important decision has just been
rendered in San Francisco in the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
Of the "California Fig Syrup Company
vs. Clinton E. Worden & Co., ct al"
The principal defendant is a large nom
secret manufacturing concern. A per-
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name-Syrup of Figs, or Fig
Syrup-and ordering them to pay the
costs and account for damages. The
decision is of the greatest value, not
only to manufacturers Of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it aff1rms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex-
tensive and legitimate advertising, is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title OF the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu-
Inc and most valuable remedy, Syrup

The Temperance Lecture.

Rev. w. H. Hubbard delivered a
temperance lecture at the COngrega.
tiOnal church Thursday night; he was
greeted by large audience. The
lecture gave general satisfaction, and
was quite interesting. The speaker
gave a scientific explanation of the
process Of distilling whisky, and its
effects upon the human system. His
advocacy Of plans for fighting the
liquor trade contained no new
thoughts, though his presentation of
the temperance cause was forceful
and eloquent.
The speaker showed the small per.
Centage Of the church population who
were earnest and energetic workers
for temperance, and deplored the ex-
istence Of such state of affairs.
Until the church awakens to the
momentOus question of temperance,
little progress in the crusade against
liquor could be made. Rev. Hubbard
made strong plea for a union of the
temperance element, and commended
the Efforts If the National Anti .Sa
loon league, of which there Isl branch
society in Wellington.

In THE THIRD DEGREE
This Was the Jury'S Verdict in the
Mutt rlurder Trial.

The jury in the Mutt murder trial
reached verdict last Thursday
night, finding the defendant guilty Of
manslaughter in the third degree.
Five ballots were taken before ver-
dict was reached. On the first ballot
the jury stood six for manSlaughter
in the third degree, one for man.
slaughter 10 the second degree and
five for acquittal, On the second
ballot the jury stood eight tor man
slaughter in the third degree, one for
manslaughter in the second degree,
and three for acquittal. Ga the third
ballot the jury stood ten for man
slaughter in the third degree, and
Two for acquittal 'fhe fourth ballot
showed eleven in favor OF manslaugh-
ter in the third degree, and one for
acqulttal. A verdict was reached On
the fifth ballot.
The maximum sentence for man
slaughter in the third degree is three
years in the penitentiary. The mini
mum senteuce is six months in the
county Jail. The court stated in its
instructions to the jury that if the
defendant was found guilty Of
manslaughter in the third degree
he could be sent to the Hutchinson
refurmatOry. Many think Judge
Mcbride will sentence the defendant
to the refOrmatOry. Nuts attorney,
Judge Ray, gave notice that night
that be would file motion for new
trial.
NIT was apparently not affected
by the verdict. During the trial
he conducted himself in an indif-
ferent manner, which may have i'm
pressed the jury with the fact that a
term in the refOrmatory would do him
no harm whether he was guilty or
not. The verdict of manslaughter in
the third degree was surprise to
those who had watched the trial. An
acquittsl was looked for.

SEVEN APPLICANTS.
Large Number of Towns Want the
New Insane Asylum.

There are now seven towns in the
field working for the location of the
new insane asylum The chances are
that the list will be increased before
the scramble is through. Topeka,
though not an avOwed candidate, is
working hard to prevent the bill
establishing new asylum from pass
ing, in the hope of securing an appro.
prialiOn to enlarge the Institution at
Topeka.
Each succeeding day seems to com.
plicate matters. The entrance of
every new town into the contest les
sons the chances Of each town already
IN the race. When the bill locating
the asylum comes up in the legisia-
tuFe there will be a strong rivalry,
and the facilities offered by the diff
ferent towns will be carefully weigh
ed. The only thing that Wellington
has to fear is the question Of water.
There is no doubt that supply will
be secured by Wellington 10 time for
use at the new asylum should it be
located here, but the fact that the
supply is not already secured will no
doubt work to the disadvantage of
the city. We are informed that rival
towns have already taken up this
phase Of the situation at Wellington,
and are making use of it. The at
mOSphere should be cleared concern
ing this question, and the fact that
Wellington has plenty of water with.
in easy reach should be impressed
upon members of the legislature.
1t requires great deal OF water to
run an insane asylum, necesSitating
the construction Of water system
solely for the use of the many build
ings and extensive grounds. Accord
ing to the analysis of Prof. Erasmus
Haworth, state geolOgist, there is no
purer water in the state than is with.
in easy reach of Wellington. There
fore the question of a pure and sub
stantial water supply should not
influence the legislature in choosing
Wellington as a site for the new asy-
lum, except to impress that body
favOrably with our claim.

A merchant, who has been thinking
writes: 1T is good thing to have
friends, but a bad thing to depend on
friendship for business. People in
this era will not pay more in one place
for goods than they can be bought for
in another, even for friendship. 1t is
well to bear this 10 mind In calculat.
ing upon friendship as factor ia
business. A man may join all the
societies 10 existence, and may be
popular in all classes OF society, but
he must depend upon the merits Of
his goods and his ability 10 sell at a
reasonable price to retain the custom
that friendship brings. Friendship is
often more OF a curse than a blessing
10 business. Usually it is a mans
friends that stick him. Many OF
your readers will agree with these as.
sertions, that they have lost more
money through friends than they ever
made out Of them. There is little, il
any, sentiment in business and the
merchant who relies to any material
extent on friendship, is leaning on a
broken reed"
