made them wealthy, have never the

Two More Held.

After we had gone to press last Friday
young Harrell and Jas. Kuykendall. =.
who had been arrested as accessory to
the shooting of Daugherty near Alma,
were taken before Esq. Wells at Alma
for preliminary hearing. After hear
ing the testimony in the case Justice
Wells discharged young Hsrrell and
placed Kuykendsll under 5000 bond to
appear befort the next grand jury. On
Thursday the special grand jury found
an indictment also against, Harrell and
he was re arrested Tom Harrell, the
principal in the shooting, is still at
large.
Leaving out the question of guilt or
innocense of any of the parties under
arrest for this crime, we think severe
punishment should be dealt out to the
party or parties proven guilty. Although
prospects are that Daugherty will re-
cover, yet the intention was there to
kill him if he interfered with their plans
of robbery. A man 8 crop is something
he cannot put under lock and key, as he
can his money or other valuables. and
when par ties are proven guilty of steal
ing such product of his labor the punish
ment, we think, should be proportionate
ly heavier.
This matter of pilfering melons is as
rule considered in the light of joke,
but when men engage in it armed it is
time that lasting example be made of
them, and we feel that should the
evidence convict anyone. Judge Evans
will do his duty in passing sentence.

Blacl; sea "A Poison.

The explorations of the Russian
scientist, Andrussow, have established
a very curious fact. The black sea,
which in some parts has a depth of
more than $500 feet, is poisoned by
sulphuretted hydrogen wherever the
water is deeper than 1900 feet. This
accounts for the curious fact that there
in no organic life below that depth,
excepting, perhaps, some bacteria of
very low order, impregnated with sui
nhnr. The causes for this phenomen-
on are explained by the quick outflow
of the fresh water through the Bos-
Alhorous. while salt water coming from
the Mediterranean enters through
deeper current into the depths of the
Black sea. The waters. on the surface
are. therefore. controlled absolutely by
horizontal currents of considerable
force. and vertical currents which
might carry the noxious g6ses from
the bottom to the surface and fresh
oxygen from ,e surface to the bottom
are hardly ever noticeable. The water
mt great depths is now SO. saturated
with sulphuric gas by the disintega-
ion of organic matter sinking to- the
ottom by reason of its weight that no
sh or other living being, which needs
xygen for its organic system, can ex-
IT beyond a stated depth.

to the need of a railroad connecting
the eastern part Of the state with

however, as if the time had come
when something other than talk
should result from the unquestioned
demand for this enterprise, and the

MIR. Walker Explains,

TO The BLACK HILLS UNION.
That green eyed monster, Madam
Rumor. has been especially vigilant
in spreading the news in this city
and country calculated to reflect on
the action taken by the board of
county commissioners on the bill
authorizing the county treasurer to
pay fifteen dollars for the purpose
of helping 20 pay the railrord fare of
the two girls that were sent back to
their mother, living in Minneapolis,
Mimi, bv the ladies Of Rapid City.
The rumor was calculated to i'm
press upon the minds of the people
the idea that the ladies had present
ed to the board Of county commits
%sioners the whole bill incurred in
sending the girls home to Minueapo-
lis, amounting to fifty dollars, and
that said board had allowed it.
For that reason I feel justified in
asking Tor a small space in your
paper to %acquaint the public with
the true history Of the facts, which
is as follows:
When the ladies rescued two
girls from d den of vice in your city
Commissioner Mccain wrote to me
that several ladies of Rapid City had
solicited him to contribute fifteen
dollars out Of the county funds to
add to the amount they had pre-
viously collected, amounting to
thirty-dve dollars, to defray the ex.
pense Of shipping said girls to their
home in Minnesota, saying he would
explain more fully at the next meet
ing of the board. In my answer to
him | justified his action in a moral
as well as philanthropic point of
view.
After the meeting of the board
the bill came up for action. In the
meantime Commissioner Mccain
had informed us that before the
girls were sent home they we're like
y to become u public charge and in
fact he had been requested to pro-
vide means for the maintenance of
one of them and a three year old
child. This presented a different
aspect to the case. Instead of a
moral and philanthropic action it
becomes a business proposition in
volving the interest Of the tax.pay.
ers. The question then arose which
would be the cheapest: to pay ohe
fifteen dollars to take them out ol
the country or to provide for their
maintenance an indefinite length .ot
time, mourning perhaps an expense
largely increased.
The board, was unanimous in al
lowing the fifteen dollars asked fo1
by the ladies. Yours very truly.

National w. C. r. U. Headquarters to
BE Located in Miss Willard's
Rest Cottage.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 23.-The national
headquarters of the w. C. T. U. will be
removed from Chicago to Rest Cottage
at Evanston, Ill. This move is provided
for in an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the organization adopted at
Saturdays session of the national con-
vention. There was long and heated
debate over the proposition, which was
supported by all the national officers.
The vote, taken shortly after noon, was
174for the amendment and % against it.
Sentimental reasons had much to dc
with the feeling created in favor OF
Rest Cottage, where the national tenn
perance movement was given its great
est impetus and where Miss Willard
planned and carried out a great part
of her life work. 1t was thought fitting
that the house consecrated, as it were.
by her presence should be the place
where future campaigns against the
liquor evil were evolved, and the ma
tional officers of the w. c. T. q. were
quick to take up the guerdon in favor
of the new project.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. 23.-The leaders
of the National w. C. T. U. spent Sun
day in addressing large congregations
in the churches of the city. Mrs. Kath-
crime L. Stevenson, president of the Mas
sachusetts w. c. T. u, delivered the an
nual sermon. The church was crowded.
