STOVE MEN ARE IN TROUBLE.
Attempted to Psddle Range Stoves in
Brule County and Were Arrested.

Attempted to Peddle Range Stoves IL
Brule County and Wore Arrested.
When the steel range stove peddlerl
came into Dawson county to sell theil
stoves they conformed with the ped
dler's license law and took out q license
and they did the same thing in Douglal
county. After finishing their work ir
this county the peddlers travelled west
to Brule county and attempted to sell
their goods on the license procured il
this county. They we're successful fol
the time being and made several sales
but they were finally apprehended and
two of the peddlers were placed under
arrest, at the instance Of hardware
dealers at Kimball. One OF the ped.
dlers was fined and paid $50 and costs
while the other WAS held to the circuit
court for trial at the December term.
The hardware men out that way are
determined to make q case against
them for every stove they have sold
unless they comply with the law. 1t is
stated that these stove peddlers have
operated in several surrounding coun.
ties without having procured the nee.
essary license, and they ought to be
made to suffer the penalty for every
infraction of the law, which would be
the means of Kidding the country oi
them.
We do not deny them the privilege
of selling their goods in accordance
with the law, but it is past understand
ing why man will pay these peddlere
S69 for steel range stove of small size
when they can 60 to the hardware
dealers in any town and purchase q
larger and equally as good stove for
S45, and besides the money SO expended
remainsin the locality that is dependent
on the combined efforts of the business
man and farmer. These peddlers will
load three or four stoves into wagon
and start into the country and before
two days have passed they have dis.
posed of their goods. They get hard
after man and about all that there is
left for him to do is to take the stoYe
and get rid of the peddler. In instan-
ces that We have heard of stoves were
purchased where the man actually did
not need it but their methods of selling
were that vigorous that there was no
getting away from the sale.

O. L. Branson attended meeting of
the finance committee which has in
charge the matter OF raising the funds
for the return of the South Dakota reg
iment. The meeting was held at

gested is that of the Yankton Gazette
and is embodied in the following, adop-
ted by the committees:
Whereas; This committee has re-
oeived the report of the Yankton
Gazette on this question of special
session OF the legislature showing out
of So answers received all but three
expressed q willingness to attend q
special session without any compen.
sation except actual expenses, therefore
be IT
Resolved, that the chair appoint q
committee of three of which the chair
man should be one, to wait upon the
governor and ascertain whether or not
he intends to call special session of
the legislature for the purpose of pro-
viding means to return the First South
Dakota regiment to the state as soon as
they are mustered out of the U. S..
service and if not to solicit his personal
cooperation with this committee in
raising funds for that purpose.
A. W. Lawrence, F. A. Brown and
B. @. Woody were appointed to inter-
view the governor and they went out
to Pierre today for that purpose.
In case the governor declines to CO.
operate in calling the legislature to-
gether another plan was adopted to
raise the money. Each county will be
called upon to lean the money and be
reimbursed by the legislature, and in
this ease Dawson county will be asked
to loan $3.50 as her portion.
For the purpose of raising hospital
fund handsomely designed button,
