STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
1t Gets a Valuable Addition to Its
Store of South Dakota Pro-
ducts.

DR.. S. H. Riggs, of P%lankinton, |
has done the State Historical Society
a great service in loaning it his
valuable collection of mounted birds, |
reptiles and animals. They are neat
ly and artistically arranged in two
very large glass cases and make a dis
play that is very attractive. DR..
Riggs. since his residence in the
state, has been making this collection
and has brought it to a point where
it contains a representative Of every
kind OF bird, small animal or reptile
that has ever been seen in the state.
He has done all the work of mount
ing and it is a great credit to his
skill. In the two cases are about $50
specimens, although some Of the
same kind of animals or birds are
duplicated. Among them is a whist
ling crane, which: is a very rare bird
to find in a collection Of this kind.
| Doane Robinson arrived in the city
Wednesday with the two cases and
took them to Pierre that afternoon
and they will be placed in the rooms
set apart in the state house for ex-
hibits of this character. The society
is making very fair progress in in
creasing its possessions and the people
are showing a liberal spirit in con-
trlbuting Of their relics. The officers
of the society hope to interest the
members of the legislature in pur-
chasing the specimens from DR.. Riggs
SO that they may become the per-
manent property Of the society.
The ownership Of the collection would
certainly be a valuable thing for the
society and the state, and it is to be
hoped that the legislature can see
the matter in the right Zig hit.
DR.. Riggs had the specimens on
exhibition at the corn palace which
was held in this city last September,
and they were seen by a good many
people from all parts of the state,
and they attracted a great deal OF at
tenion.

at the price made until their time
expires, when they will come un-
der the new rate.
Again, the rates of the paper
will remain as above until the CIR

when you win agree with us that
it should be higher.

OUR SEWERAGE.

Tho useless talk of some of our
citizens Of giving up the work Of
completing and perfectiDg the
sewerage system of the city is
folly and should cease. 1t is true
there has been a large sum Of
money expended in its construc-
tion, and viii take more before It
it is successfully pat in operation,
but it will pay the city to spend
it if then it can be made a success,
as engineers assert. The sanitary
condition of our city, which cans
not be changed without sewerage,
places its completion above money
if health and the future of the
city Is to be considered.
Our duty as citizens today in
this question is to support the
mayor and council in their actions.
There is no question as to the
hundred thousand dollars being
honestly expended. The respon-
sibility of the condition today is
not due to them but to the engi-
neer who laid it out. You cannot
deny but what If you had been on
the council your action would
have been the same as theirs.
Take today the public clamor
along our street and the men who
criticse the most, as is alwsys the the
case, know the least. 1t is true,
be a few whoknow, that
criticise the actions of the council,
but the duty of such citizens is TO
advise and not criticise. 1t should
be the interest of every citizen
who has the welfare of the city at
heart to want to see a successful
completion of the sewerage, and not
its failure simply to get revenge,
on the officials whose election they |
or whose downfall they |
courted.
To remedy the present break or
stop the sinking of the manholes
we have no suggestion to offer, but
leave it to the competent engineers
who have it in charge, and we
trust it can be done and our clti-
zens will give the mayor and coun-
cll.the encouragement necessary to
10 il.

EASTER.

The day which commentaries
the resurrection of Christ is now
passed and beautifuland glorious
day 1t was. Everything that
lived seemed to enjoy its glory
and fullness of life. The day
which comes after the first full
moon following the venal equinox
which occurred on the 23rd. was
Sunday, so last Sunday was East
er. The day was q little cool but
an ideal Easter day. The day is
the birth of carols, and one of the
simplest but most beautiful we
heard Easter was composedby Mrs.
Mai Bastron, of New York, which
Is as follows:
King ye, the church bells loud and clear,
Send forth your heralds far and near,
For He once dead. now lives again,
Der Heaven and Earth our King to
reign.
Ring We the bells,
Glad Easter bells,
Bells, bells, bells
Bring forth your offerings rich and rare,
And watt your carols on the air,
No more the tomb or death holds
away,
Your Saviour lives, He lives today.
Ring ye the bells,
Glad Easter bells,
Bells, bells. bells.

WEAK OFFICIALS.

There is lesson to be drawn
from the recent political fight for
the Memphis Judgeship. Improves
that a weak man in Office, poIit-
ical camelion who can change his
position for the sake of gain or
power, is dangerous official for
any city, and to turn him down, q
tyrant may be selected. Judge
DuBose, a man who was impeach--
ed some ten years ago for his ty-s
ranical methods, his disrespect of
law, was brought out for Judge
against Jno. Moss. The fight for
DuBose was made on the grounds
of the Williams Administrations
which is claimed, is not only weak.
but corrupt, and had it not been
for the personal enmlty made By
DuBose with members Of the Bar
and the strong fight carried on BY.
the Commercial Appeal he would
have defeated Moss by great odds.
The fight is lesson to Memphis
and while the administration is.
victorious in this case, unless they
change the whole power will be
oyerthrown in the next election
and new men putin their place.
