Indianapolis News: The country is
getting so used to prosperity that it
seems to take it entirely as a matter
o. course. Men have apparently for
gotten the recent era Of depression, or
if they recall it, they wonder how it
WAS possible that land which is now
enjoying such wonderful prosperity
could ever have known unfavorable
business conditions. 1t is not neces-
sary to set forth the facts which are so
clearly stated in the trade reports for
the week. They are all favorable
Business is better than it ever was be-
fore at the present season. Our peo-
pie are at work. Prices and wages are
good. Demand is large and apparently
Unsuitable. Foreign trade is all that
could be asked. Crops are good, and

Boss Croker, of Tammany hall has
returned from Europe and he brought
home q change OF heart with reference
to presidential candidates. Before
leaving this country he was bitterly
opposed to Bryan, but he now is as
strongly in favor of him. For his
change of position he offers no excuse
other than to say that he is for Bryan.
The world will move along in it's reg
ular course just the same as if Mr..
Croker was against Bryan.

THE THIRTY-FOURTH FILLED.
The Mitchell Boys May be Transferred to
One of Two Other Regiments.

The Mitchell Boys May be Transferred to
One of Two Other Regiments.
1t is probable that the twelve young
mon, who left Mitchell last Monday to be
assigned to the thirty-fourth regiment
of the regular army will be sent to
either the thirty-third or the thirty
fifth, as the following from the St.
Paul Pioneer Press of Tuesday morn
ing would Indicate:
The thirty fourth United States vol
unteer infantry is filled and q message
WAS received here by Capt, E. P. An
drus yesterday, saying that no more
men were needed. 1t was suggested,
however, that the recruiting work in
the northwest be kept up without in
Permission and that the men secured be
allowed 10 choose between the thirty
third and the thirty-fourth infantry,
both of which are in process of for
nation.
Ever since the order was issued call
ing into existence the thirty-fourth
regiment the war department has dis
PLACED anxiety to hurry it to complet-
ior, presuma bly, with the intention of
rushing Ii to the front. The men who
are to be enlistedlfrom this time will go
either to the thirty third at Fort Clark,
Tex, or to the thirty-ffth, which is
being made up from men enlisted on
the Pacific coast. The same require
ments hold in this as in other cases.
An order will be issued to-day by
Capt. Audrus recalling Lieut.. Cush-
man A. Rice from recruiting service in
North Dakota, and he will remain here
until time to join his regiment, the
thirty-fourth. Since he has been on
duty In that quarter Lieut.. Rice has
forwarded no Reports as to the condit-
ion of his Office.
So it seems from this situation will
go either to Texas or the Pacific coast
direct from St. Paul and will not have
to go to the front right away as evil
dently will be the case with the thirty
fourth.

VICTIMS OF THE GAME LAW.
A Person Can't Go Out Innocenuly With
HIS Gun and Dog without Arrest.

In previous years it has been the
custom Of hunters to make trips in the
country with their gun and Cog, two
weeks before the chicken season
obened, merely to train the dog and
with no intention or shooting any
game. Under the new game law it is
not permissible to be seen in the
country with those two necessary ad
juncts to hunting without being liable
to arrest and fined.
The first instance OF q case coming
under the new game law occurred up
in Hamlin county when William Dean
and Henry Schulke were made to
appreciate the full penalty of the
statute. OF the case . Wstertown dis
patch has this about it.: "They are
the first in the state to suffer under the
section Of the law which provides that
anyone seen driving or walking in the
country with a dog or gun in their
possession shall be presumed to have
violated the law, and shall be punished
by inc and the confiscation OF their
weapons, In the case of Dean and
Schulke, they were seen in the country
with their dogs and guns, but had not,
so far as could be asoertained, killed
any prairie chickens. w. L. johnson,
game warden Of Codington county,
made complaint against the two men.
They were arrested by Sheriff Keegan
of Hamlin county, and taken before
Justice Boswell at Castlewood for trial.
The justice fined them SIS each and
costs, amounting in the aggregate to
S25, which each OF the men had to pay.
In addition to this their shotguns were
declared forfeited to the state, and will
bs sold at the public auction to the
highest bidder"

Superintendent Tompkins is evid entity
ooing big business out at the reform
school with the finances, as the follow
from the State Register would indicate:
The new superintendent of the re-
form school starts out with salary list
OF $765 81 for the first month. OF this
amount the superintendent draws $780,
81 and his wife as matron gets SS3. .33 or
$3.50 to the family while the newly in
stalled brother-in-law draws $50. Un-
der the former management the su-
perintendent and wife received 5000 per
month. AS the approprion for salaries
is only So, 900 per annum and So, 900 is
taken by the superintendent it would
look as though there would be a good
sized deficiency at the end of the year.

"This governments should recall every
soldier il the Philippines Immediately,
apologize to the world for the error we
have made and turn the island over to
the native government. This 'civiliz-
ing war talk is all sham. Any people
can maintain as good government as
they have right to have, and you can
not give them better one."
Senator Pettigrew is credited with
having made the above statements in
Chicago while passing through, and
they were sent out by the Associated
Press. That is a remarkable statement
for man in Pettigrew's position to
make, and while he assumes to repre-
sent the people of South Dakota such q
sentiment has no place in the hearts of
nine-tenths of her people. Mr.. Petit
grew speaks principally for himself.

According to the Dead wood Pioneer
Times matrimony is active in the Black
Hills. 1t says:
Lawrence county furnishes some in
teresting statistics this year so far in
the matter of marriages and divorces.
The matrimonial market has been OK
ceedingly strong since the beginning Of
the year, and the divorce mill has also
done thriving business. The records
in the office of the clerk OF courts were
Eeferred TO yesterday, and the fact was
revealed that since January of this
year l20 marriage licenses have been
issued, including three that were issued
yesterday. OF these. 50 have been
granted to Lead couples, "a to Terry
and 1S to Deadwood parties. The
others have been taken out by parties
from various parts Of the country.
Twenty-four divorces have been granted
during the year so far, and have be-
come matters of record, and still others
are in sight.

Orphans home at Sioux Falls and do
mated 50, 900, but before it was paid
over, Joe Kirby applied for an injunct-

ground that it was devoting public
moneys to private uses contrary to the
spirit OF our constitution. Joe hasn't
been heard from in some time but he
proposes now to block q home for the
orphan children OF the state, an insti-
tuition that is being supported by pri-
vate subscription.

If Senator pettigrew wants to retain

If Senator Pettigrew wants to retain
his standing in the populist party he
wants to cut the company OF the rail-
road company. he has been riding
over the country too much of late with
railroad presidents fc. his owo good.
The senator is more than likely'laying
the foundation for big farmer vote by
promising them railroad before the
tine for the election Of United States
senator rolls around. It is conceded that
the Great Northern has as little idea OF
extending its line from Huron south
west as could be imagined, but the an
ticipation gives the senator fine op-
portunity to make the play before the

TWO VIEWS OF A DOLLAR.

Hartford, Conn, Courant: A dollar
never saw the day when it would buy
more food, clothing, transportation
and other necessities of life than now.
On the other hand a dollar never saw
the day when it could earn less than
now. These are points for the consid-
GRAFTON of those who discuss the relat-
ions of capital and labor. The change
in the rate of interest on money has
come gradually, but it is one of the
most remarkable events in financial his
tory. 1t is easily enough explained,
now it is here, but nobody could have
predicted it. 1t amounts to cutting the
rate in two within qnarter OF a CEN
tury.
For example good many people will
remem ber in 1873 the railroad stations
between here and New York were pla-
carded with the advertisements of Har-
lem River and Port Chester railroad I
per cent bonds, guaranteed by the main
road. These had to be very extensive
ly advertised to secure their sale at
par. Today if the same road wanted to
sell 3 l-2 per cents, it could get slight
premium for them. That indicates q
shrinkage Of ono half. 1t means that if
in 1873 man had $4,000 IN cash to ir-
vest he could have bought these bonds
and got an income of 81 300 a year.
Now the man who had s2A, 900 to invest
could get but $500 from the
same security. There are funds in the
hands of trustees that have not been
changed in twenty years and are worth
double what they we're worth at the be-
ginning, and that do net yield any
more income. That is smother way of
showing that in productiveness it takes
two dollars now to equal one twenty
five years ago.
The dollar cannot earn what it used
to. Time was when 10 per cent was not
considerd high interest, when our saw
ings banks paid depositors I per cent,
and when the average discount rate at
the banks wac per cent. Today the
savings banks are squeezing out 4 per
cent to depositors and discussing the
advisability of making the rate 3 1-2.
But while the .dollar caonnot earn
what it once could, it can buy vastly
more OF what is needed. At the time
alluded to for the interest comparison
coal was at SO per ton, now $3.50: flour
was at SO Is to $3.50 a barrel, now S5.-
%: sugar was at Is cents a pound, now
4 IA cents; hay was at S29 a ton, now
SlS.
A days work put into getting bread,
clothes and similar necessities will pro-
duce more than twenty-five years ago,
but days work saved up and turned
into capital will not earn more than
half the money it used to-
