Archbishop Kendrick presided over

with his position in the church
One day when Father Ryan was
passing the house of the archbishop.
accompanied by a Chicago priest, who
was visiting the Mound City, he point
ed out the house as the residence OF
the head OF the local church. The
Chicago priest said with surprise:
why, you should see the splendid
residence we have In Chicago for our
archbishop"
"Yes,' responded Father Ryan, but
you should sec the splendid archbish.

Howard Gass in his Missouri
School journal strongly favors the
consolidation of weak school dis
tricts, where the attendance is small
and maybe growing smaller from
yeareto year. He uses these words:
There is neither economy or wis

small, weak districts. Consolida-
ton, organization and Transports
ton are the questions that must be
rightly disposed of it the near futu-
re. Let earnest attention be given
them that no mistake may be

MAYOR JONES.
A Word Regarding the Sum
day Closing Law.

Mexico, Aug, 2S,-A few words
from me will not be ont of place in
view of the fact that the evening
papers of yesterday were not clear
in their statements regarding the
city administration and the Sunday
closing law.
The facts are, some months ago
the Mayor and City Council were
requested by the Christian ladies of
this city to have the Sunday law
enforced and this was followed by
requests from certain business men
who claimed that the Sunday law
was being flagrantly violated in
Mexico, and argued that it was
not fair for some of the merchants
to observe the law of the city and
State while others were allowed to
openly violate them with impunity.
rs Mayor of the city, elected by
the people to enforce the laws they
themselves have put upon the stat
utes, felt it my sworn duty to
call the attention of the Council to
this matter. After discussing it
pro and con at the meeting of the
Council Monday night, it was de-
cided by the Council that City
Marshal White should notify the
business men that in the future
the Sunday law which is as fol-
lows, would be enforced.
"Scction 81. Chapter NNll.
Every person who should expose to
sale any goods, wares or merchan-
disc, or shall open any ale or por-
ter houses, wine or beer saloons,
or shall sell or retail any ferment-
ed liquor on the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday,
shall upon conviction thereof he
deemed guilty of misdemeanOr
and fined not more than fifty dol
lars.
"Section S5-Last Section Con-
strued. The last section shall not
be construed to prevant the sale of
any drugs or medicine, provision
or other articles of immediate ne
cessity nor shall it prevent the sale
of fresh meat by licensed butchers
before the hour of 9 O'Clock a. m.
on Sundays"
1t will be seen by all who want
to see that this law is very plain
and, while | am not responsible for
its being on the statute, | am in
hearty accord with it and believe
this is the position of all good and
aw-abiding citizens.
The report started, that this law
closed hotels, livery stables and
restaurants and prohibited people
from purchasing needful articles on
Sunday, is not only absurd, but
such reports are started for selfish
reasons and for the purpose of in
Juring the good effect of the most
wholesome law, when enforced
with discretion, and we certainly
purpose to try to enforce it with
discretion.
| have no apologies to make
for trying to do my sworn duty il
in enforcing the law.
Two Counselmen have aesighed
Messrs. Worrell and Harper, ant
| have this day odered a specia
election to fill their vacancies.
f. Il. JONES, Mayor.

City Election

The city election last Tuesday
was the quietest thing in the
form of an election ever held in
Milbank. In both the second
and third wards there was but
one candidate for each of the
three Offices voted upon. In the
first ward there was no contest
for alderman, but for member of
board of education two names
were voted upon, but no election
ering was done. The total vote
cast in the ward was but 81, of
of which E. p. Dore received %,
and Levi Schnabel 8, in the con-
testfor member of board ofeduca-
tion. Mr.. B. D. Gam BILE iE the
first, Geo. Empson in the second
and Emil Johnson in the third
ward received the full vote
for aldermen, as did E. III. Bene-
diet for treasurer of the board
and Henry Schafer and E.
Emanuel for members of board
of education. Thirty-five votes
were cast in third ward and 81
in the second.

Notice to Citizens.

All property owners and ten
ents are requested to clean their
premises of all ashes, garbage,
tin cans and all unsightly things.
This cannot we'll be done after
the city cleans the streets, for
there is more or less droppings
scattered in the street by teams
hauling. No progress can be
made by the city authorities in
cleaning up until every one is
interested. There is nothing
that will interest strangers more
in our city, and which our own
people will more appreciate than
to have our city made and kept
as clean and tidy as possible. We
shall rake up all the streets in
the city in few days, so the
request is made that citizens do
their part by raking and clean
ing their premises. The city
council cannot, nor can any one
or two individuals put our city
in the shape it should be. It
requires every one living within
our corporation to assist, and
there is no excuse for any one
not taking immediate action.
Don t be slack about this matter
but let US go to work now; if all
will take hand, we will enjoy
knowing that Milbank is the
cleanest and best kept up city in
South Dakota. Merchants are
requested to gather up all paper
around tbeir premises, as these
blow around our lawns and are
unsightly, and serve to hinder
persons from keeping their
premises clean; l call attention
to an ordinance on this matter
which will have to be enforced
unless merchants are NOR;
particular.
