ed as the south's best representative
among the business interests of the
north, which have so great an influence
in legislation.
1t is pretty hard to classify Maryland
either as a southern or a northern
state. The predominating sentiment
is undoubtedly southern, although its
commercial alliances are with the
north. German is about as hard to
classify as his state. His sympathies
are undoubtedly with the south, al
though his business interests are with
the north and his associations are
largely northern. He is without ques-
ton h shrewdest politician on the
democrat side in congress-, and he is
recognized ss the legislative leader of
his party.
German is a sphinx. He IL canny OF
speech and nobody has ever yet sur
prised him into an indiscreet utterance.
And yet there is nobody in Washing
ton whose personal relations with
newspaper men are closer or of a more
confidential character. He began as a
page in the senate and his entire life
mas practically been passed within the
shadow of the capitol. For he was as
slstant postmaster Of the senate after
ne became too mature for the page
ship and he had not long returned to
Baltimore before he was elected to the
senate.

entire district when he gets his fight
ord in two wars, but he was for years
the most pugnacious correspondent on
newspaper row, fitting fearlessly at ev-
cry perceptible abuse and making enc
mics right and left in the pursuit OF
his calling.
When he was appointed president Of
the school board he supposed that II
was to be a place Of more or less rou-
tine and that for the moderate allow
ance of $500 a year he was to preside
over the meetings of the board with
dignity, and enunciate his findings
with solemnity. He hadn't been there
a fortnight, however. before he was en-
gagged in a scrap and he has been in
some sort of a scrimmage ever since.
First he tackled 1.-The school histories.
He happened to find an incorrect his
torical allusion in one of them and he
proceeded to examine them all. He dis
covered that they were TuiI OF mistakes
and he ordered them all out Of the
schools until the mistakes could be cor
rected. Of course that angered the
writer's and publishers, but he didn't
mind. He o his point; Then he
learned that the contractors for coal
were furnishing the school buildings
with an inferior article at an exorbi-
tant price and that they were selling
badly u~nderweight. He stopped that
and made every coal dealer his NOR
tai enemy in consequence. A little Ia
ter he fell afoul of a personal scandal
that vas keeping the schools in a tur-
moil, and he went at that with a vim
that startled the community and re-
suited in the elimination of the cause.
And yet Gen. Boynton personally is
n of the gentlest and most consider
ate Of lei 1t is only when he scents
an abuse that he vaults into the arena.

Weather Prophets,

This viii be a mild winter" Is q
prediction by the prophets at Miller.
The fowls are refusing to moult as
early as they usually do if the win
ter is to be severe, while the fur on
the muskrats and minks is thinner
than ever before-a sure sign of mild
weather. Then the skunks are so
plentiful this fall that it is unsafe
to drive over the prairie at night, as
they seem to take to the roads, re-
fusing 70 get out. In this latitude if
the skunks refuse to hole up early
the winter is sure to be mild. These
~prophesies, by a white pioneer settler
on Elm creek, r given for what
they are worth, although they are
vouched for by the older Indians of
Grow creek, recently here.

No More Booze

ahe house for a great many years,
sbut these rules have never been en-
forced. 1t has been assumed as a mat
For the sake Of appearances and that
they were not to interfere with the
comfort of statesmen or with the facil-
ity with which they might entertain
themselves or their friends.
Every little while there has been a
bluff at one end of the capitol or the
eother about shutting off the booze al
together. by law, the understanding
being that il such a bill passed at one
end of the capitol it would be quietly
smothered at the other, thus giving
Everybody a chance once in awhile to
go on record without interfering with
fbibulatory freedom.
Last winter the game was tried in
the house. They got into a sharp de-
bate on prohibition during a debate on
the immigration bill, which contained
a clause forbiddng the sale OF beer or
wine at immigrant stations. One mem
Der dared another to offer an amend
ment prohibiting the sale of liquor in
the capitol. The dare was taken and
the amendment was adopted with a
rush. Nobody had the hardihood to
vote against it. Then it went over to
the senate and the expectation was
that it would be heard of no more, but
the senate last winter was imbued with
a spirit of mischief and the amendment
was retained exactly as It passed the
house.
So at last the law is firmly fixed in
the statutes and there It is likely to
stay. For nobody is ever going to risk
his political future by Offering an
amendment allowing the sale OF liquor
in the capitol and nobody of conse-
equence would vote for such an amend
ment If it were offered.

Benefits Derived,

The advance of settlement in the
northern and western part of. the
state has begun to show it's effects
on the different state institutions,
which are to derive a portion of their
support from revenues from state
land grants.
The coming of new people has in
creased the demand for these lands,
and the lease money collected by the
state land department for the past
two months from this source has lust
been sent to the institutions which
are entitled to receive it. OF course
the revenue from that source is not
yet large. but the fact that any
amount is being derived from this
source is an Indication of a changed
condition.
The amounts just sent to the in
situations are: Aberdeen normal,
$114.6o; state university, $2o6. 2e; agri-
cultural college, s623.sS; deaf and
dumb school, $500; reform school,
$121.22; Springfield normal, $s3,97;
blind asylum, $3.50; school of mines,
500; Madison normal, $176.O5; Spear
fish normal. $l7s.05. These amounts
are only for the lease collections for
August and September.

Badly Scared,

The village of Egan was given a
scare the other evening. A band of
men rode into town and the report
was circulated that it was, a holdup
gang that was operating in the small
towns. Bankers, merchants, postmas-
ter, ETC., dubbed together to guard
the town. Two young men were en-
gagged to remain in the telephone
office all night, that at a moments
notice the town might be aroused.
Men We're secured to sleep in the
bank building and merchants slept in
their stores. Morning dawned and
no alarming circumstances were re-
ported. The many reports that come
in from other towns have been
enough to put all on guard.

been impossible to
get anything stronger than beer at the
senate restaurant and the lack of
stronger stimulants has not o%ccasioned
the slightest complaint. The counter
at the other end of the capitol has been
gpatronized, it is true, but almost wholly
by visitors and not to any great ex-
tent by members.
The capitol has really for years been
a temperate place. The day has long
passed when a senator or representa-
tive could appear in q state of inso-

able comment and perhaps running his
reputation.

nowadays seriously and temporarily.
The same standards prevail among
public men that prevail among bust
ness men, and if the shutting of liquors
out of the capitol will only help to dis
abuse the public mind of the contrary
impression it will be a very salutary
thing even though it makes no real
difference in the conduct of senators
and representatives.

Successful Eruitsne

Box Elder valley is rapidly making
q reputation as the most prolific
center of fruit production in the
Black Hills, and the crop of apples,
winter pears, plums, cherries, grapes
and small fruits raised there this
year has supplied the demands OF the
local markets, besides leaving a large
amount for export.
Six miles north of Rapid City, on
Box Elder, is situated the fruit farm
and nursery OF Chris Thompson,
which are under perfect cultivation
and contain thousands of trees, which
for ten years have been a source of
profit. 1t is over twenty years since
the first apple tree was planted in
this orchard. but since that time MI.
Thompson has increased the stand
ard of his orchard until it contains
only the choicest varieties of apples,
hardy pears and cherries.
This year Mr.. Thompson has picked
and packed over 1900 barrel of early
apples, while there are still on the
trees many hundreds of barrels of VIM
ter apples. Besides these he mar
keted a large quantity of cherries,
plums and grapes, and many thou
sand boxes of small fruits which
came earlier in the year. He has
about 100 acres of apple trees alone.

and influence upon public affairs.
1t was through Boynton that the
galleries of the senate and house were
set apart for the use of the newspaper
correspondents, not to be intruded on
rel by order of the speaker or of any
other power. Speaker Keifer's down
fall was due to his attempt to ignore
this rule, and crowd guests Of his own
into the press gallery on a spectacular
day. Boynten stood at the gate then
and barred all intruders out, and a Bit
ter controversy developed between Kei-
fer and the newspaper men, which re-
suited in Refers political undoing and
his retirement from Office.
As speaker he tried to have Boynton
punished and the doughty general was
hauled before a congressional commit
tee. but Boynton fought it out-and
won, as always has been his custom.
1t was Boynton who rid the town OF
notorious pension sharks is or 20 years
ago, when INSCRIPTIONS attorneys were
preying upon dependent veterans. He
was threatened for his life more than
once In those days, but he never went
armed, except sometimes with q stick
and he thrashed n burly antagonist
who came clustering into his Office
