The Journal has advocated the re-

for years, and in December, 1902 it
urged the legislature to re-submit the

since, on several occasions, argued
against the fallacy OF keeping the state
capitalat Pierre. The Pierre comittes
however has really opened the cam

newspaper men0f the state were asked
and many of them did subscribe to the
following binding contract, the writer
having seen one Of them In blank form
which read:

Some time Since the Journal con-
tanned a few remarks about Buff
talo hunt that was to take place
near Pierre, the capital of the state
a state that has been admitted into
the union for fourteen years, and at |
the time of admission had populatin
OF 325, 200 people. That population
has now increased to about 425, 900
people. And recently all those state
patriots were called upon to watch
through the newspapers buffalo
hunt on the range prairie within ten
miles OF the state capital, where the
cattle roamed at will and the coyotes
destroyed their progeny to sncL an
extent that the state legislature
deemed it wise and proper TO pay a
state wolf bounty to protect the
range cattle and sheep near the
state capital.
No one blamed the members of the
state legislature living within fifty
miles Of the state capitol for beconi-
| ing lobbyists to get this bounty Law
passed, because they wished to pro-
tect the few good people who lived in
! their home counties from loss to their
herds that roamed at large in those
counties. But the people of the state
should not generally be expected to
feel very hilarious over the fact they
are now called upon to vote to keep
their seat OF state government at
| Pierre, just becaused the cattle roam
at large and the coyote towls within
1 hearing OF their governors Office and
state treasury cash box.
| State capitals are for the accommc-
dation and convenience OF the people.
4 who maiatain them by system Of
taxation, and when you figure it over
siosels and-find not more than 10000
Of those 425, 900 people living within
fifty miles OF their seat of ofgoyernment,.
lyou wonder why it required fourteen
lyears to get the members of the state
Legislature to re-submit the question
of location to the people vino pay the
taxes. 1t is notso hard to understand
how the Pierre schemers first succeed
led in getting the seat of government
located there, since you remember
that a large state map hung up in a
building with a BIG RED STAR in the
center, places that star very close to
the geographical center" Of the map.
But after lapse of fourteen
years and the cattle still roaming at
large and the coyote still bowling, and
with court record that can be exam
inedin the state, showing that Pierre
raised fully $4,000 in the city, schoo
and water bonds more than the stat,

MESSAGES IN STRANGE FORM.
Remarkable Communication from
Many Sources.


Many Sources.
Recently English newspapers pub
lished a story about Liverpool man
who found a message written upon
an egg by the packer, a widow In
Manitoba, whom he ultimately mar
ried. In 1899 a message was found In
a barrel Of apples that had been sent
to England from New Zealand. In
this message the packer Of the fruit
a young woman, said that her ances
tors, whose names were given, had
emigrated from Kent, and she asked
the finder to ascertain II any Of her
name and family still remained In
that county. The finder was able to
give her full particulars as to surviv'
ing relatives. Mr.. Tew Of Leeds
England, member Of a Yorkshire
banking family, had at one time q
collection Of messages in merchan'
disc" some Of them being very tragic
reminders Of the days when peaceful
traders were caught by Algerian
pirates and sold into slavery. One
such message had been written in
blood on a coarse canvas bag that
had contained gum arabic; another
appeared as a sort Of tattooed stain
on a large cork that had fastened q
vessel containing altar Of roses.

that coffee.drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra

extensively, and all the inhabitants
drink 1t many times a day, intoxlca-

alcohol as he acquires the coffee
