and five workmen were engaged in dig

Soldiers Home inspection.

The Black Hills senators-eIect visited
Hot Springs last week, with Senator
Burke of Hot springs, and examined
into the requirements of the soldiers
home for the next two years. The
membership of the home is constantly
increasing, now having about $50 on
the rolls, thus requiring a larger ap-
~portionment than ever before. The
senator's dined with Commandant Linn
II looked owe the institution thor
oughly. The visitors were Senators @.
j. Bennett, Rapid City; o. A. Cooper,
Whitewood; l.. p. Jenkins, Lead; j. f.
Cheese man, Belle Fourche. The party
was rendered a banquet at the Evans.
Among the matters discussed by the
Hills senators while together, was the
advisa bility of advocating a short ses-
SIGN of the legislature; and they came
to the conclusion that they would favor
a thirty-day session. They are all act
i've business men, and want to have the
work of the session completed as rapid
ly as possible, thus making a great saw
ing TO the state, as well as to them
selves personally, as they have business
that they cannot afford to leave. They
believe that if at the beginning of the
legislative session ii is decided to hold
a short session, the members Will the
more quickly get down to business and
put in longer hours from the very first
day, rather than wait for the closing
days before they be in erowding things.
They believe that there is not much
legislation needed, beyond the regular
appropriation bills; perhaps a few
changes in the revenue law. and some
other legislation that seems to be de-
manded-but in all not demanding a
full session, they believe. On account
of the great saving a short session
would be to the state, they believe h a
their plan for it will meet with general
favor by both branches.

TUBBs SEEKS PARDON.
Twice Convicted of Violating the
Laws-Penitentiary Sentence.

Twice Convicted of Violating the
Laws-Penitentinry Sentence.
Friends of Richard A. Tubbs, former
mayor of Alcester, who was sentenced
to two years Imprisonment for sending
Objectionable letters through the mail,
are circulating petitions asking that he
be pardcned. The petitions represent
the signers as believing in his inno-
cence, or that, If guilty, he had already
been sufficiently punished. The case
has attracted wide attention through
out the state. Mr.. Tubbs. while mayor
of Alcester and agent Of the Chicago e.
Northwestern railroad at that place,
was arrested a year 6 on the charge
of having mailed Objectionable letters
to Miss Clara Saltnes, a young lady
then residing in Alcester, but who now
lives with her parents in Hawarden,
Iowa. Tubbs was tried in April, 1899,
and convicted. He filed a motion for %
new trial, which was granted. The new
trial resulted in another conviction, n
he was sentenced to two years in the
p~enitentiary. He appealed the case to
the United States circuit court of APP
peals, and a hearing was held in st.
Paul last spring. Some important le-
gal questions arose. In November he
circuit court of appeals affirmed the
decision of Judge Garland in sentencing
Tubbs to two years in the pe~nitentiary.
Tubbs is at present under bonds of
S $4,000. The customary sixty days from
the handing down of decisions granted
defendants by federal courts of APP
peal will expire Jan. 4, and the federal
officials have been notified that at that
time Tubbs will surrender himself and
go to thu penitentiary to begin serving
his sentence, in the hope that his appli-
cation for pardon will bear fruit.

vert starts n sensation
Through following the advice that
confession is good for the soul a pecu-
liar state of affairs exists in a town on
the Burlington railroad north of Sioux
Falls. The name of the town is with
held for obvious reasons. A reliable
gentleman who visited the town vouches
for the facts in reference to the matter.
A number of the prominent residents of
the town are in all kinds of trouble
and all on account of a series of revival
meeting recently held there by a lead
ing evangelist of the Northwest. The
evangelist had wonderful success in
securing new converts. Among those
induced TO return to the paths of recti-
tude was a woman who for years had
been somewhat noted in the criminal
circles of the place. She was in earnest
in her desire TO live a better life, and
the church members considered her
conversion N of the most interesting
vents of the series of revival meet
ings. This proved to be SO, but not
exactly in the manner that was ex-
pected. At one of the meetings, after
the woman had renounced her former
ways ana ueCldTeu ner purpose 10 iINe
in the future an upright and virtuous
life, the minister cook occasion TO re-
mine the class of onverts that open
confession was good for the soul. Then
a bombshell was thrown into the town,
for the woman in question, taking the
evangelist at his word, proceeded to
''cut loose" in a manner that has rent
the town asunder, with the probability
that the divorce courts will be COM
PEELED to work overtime in order to dis
pose of the sudden increase of bust
ness. The woman told of her many
sins, and in relating her story impli-
Gated a dozen or fifteen of the leading
citizens of the town. The married
women OF the congregation, who at first
listened listlessly to the story, suddenly
became deeply interested and began a
more systematic line of investigation
as to further and corroborative details.
Several husbands were involved, and as
a result of this particular instance of
open confession being good for the
soul, the editor, the banker and several
prominent merchants are the defend
ants in suits in the divorce courts, or
are about to be. Every effort has been
made to keep the story out of the
newspapers.

Sanity Toasted.

Rev. John f. Hill, in Presbyterian
Banner. takes the following incident
frcm a New York paper and adds a
suggestive comment:
"a gentleman was once being taken
over an idiot asylum. He asked an at
tendant how they knew when an idiot
was considered to be sufficiently re-
stored to sanity to be discharged.
oh said the attendant, 1T is easily
managed. We take them into a yard
where there are several troughs. We
turn on the taps and give the idiots
buckets to bail out the water and emp
ty the troughs. Many of them keep
bailing away while the taps keep run
ming, but they that wasn't idiots stops
the tap"
This little story. though by no means
a new one, may have proven amusing
to the readers. and ali will agree that
the asylum should not discharge an in
mate who failed upon this funny test.
But are all the people in asylums for
the insane or imbecile who keep bail
ing away hoping to empty the
trough without stopping the inflow?
Is not this precisely what We do when,
through our state and municipal gov
ernments. we make desperate strug-
giles for the abatement of the floods Of
crime and pauperism, and yet neglect
to close the saloon, which Is the ac-
knowledged source of the greater part
of those awful streams?
A city missionary. addressing the
Presbyterian Social Union of Philadel-
phia, on the 'Slum Problem" in large
cities, when asked what connection the
saloon had with the slums, replied:
Remove the saloon from the slums
and you will have no slums."
