The music on some of our roof gardens in
these summer nights is melodious and de-
lightful the waiIing of lost souls. Where do
several of the garden managers engage players
of instruments so hopelessly incompetent and
such persistent offenders against the concord
of sweet sounds? Some of these minor organi-
cations Of so-caed bands and orchestras are
little better than noisy nuisances which ought
to be sienced for the relief of the afflicted peo-
pie now tarrying in town.

Lead, S. d., March 13.-Three heaC

loss to a of Alexander C~ruickshank
of Lead, who is heavily interested in
cattle in the valleys. Last fall he put
in $50 head of young cattle from the
south and east, and entered into con.
tracts with farmers living in the valley
precincts to feed the animals for the
winter months, the contracts specify
ing that the owner of the cattle should
not pay for the feeding Of any animals
that were lost before April l.. This
accounts for the success Mr.. Cruick-
shank has experienced. He says a few
of the animals are thin, but the great
majority are in excellent condition.
Mr.. Cruickshank is wintering his cat
tie along Bear Butte creek, in Pleas
ant Valley and on the Belle Fourche
river. The winter there has been excep.
tionally mild, but fifty miles east OF

the losses among the cattle owners
heavier. Still further east, beyond the

DEMAND HIGH WAGES.
South Dakota Farm Hands Want
Little Prosperity Themselves.

Canton, S. D.. March 16.-The farmers
throughout this county are complain
ing of the high wages demanded by
farm hands this season. There seems
to exist a mutual understanding among
them that they will refuse to work un-
less they can secure the highest pos
sible wages. The result is that the
majority of farm hands. are demanding
$2S and $50 per month. which with
board and washing amounts to about
$50. Only a few years 6 good farm
hands could be got for SIS to SIS per
month. Last year the majority of de-
sirabie hands worked for $50 and S22,
while occasionally an extra good man
got s25, but this spring the wages have
suddenly gone IN to $50. Many farmers
are refusing to pay the combination
prices of the hands and express the
determination to get along without
help the best way they can, but others
submissively surrender to the extor-
Tomato demands of the hired men and
pay the $50 per month.

Homeseekers Are Pouring Into South
Dakota.
Canton, S. D., March 12.-The rush
of immigration into South Dakota,
which has been in active operation for
several weeks, seems to continue with
undated fervor. Hardly a train passes
through here on the road westward
that is not laden with immigrants,
their household goods and their farm
ing utensils. Many whole trainloads
Of them are passing through here on
the way to different parts of the state.
Most of them come from eastern Iowa,
southern Wisconsin and from Illinois.
The majority are young men who nave
seen their parents become wealthy on
the cheap lands of other states in ear
Her days, and they are coming to South
Dakota to meet the same experience.
They have plenty of money. fine cattle
and horses and an abundance of ma
chinery to carry on farming on the
most successful principles. The num-
Der of immigrants coming through here
to South Dakota this spring is said to
be vastly in excess of the number tina
came during the great rush Of 1882,
but Their are a much more. desirable
class Of people on the whole, because
they are in better circumstances to
build up the country and make perma-
nent improvements.

Governor Herreid Doesn't Agree with
the LEGISLATORS.

Pierre, S.. d. March 16.-Governor
Herreid has vetoed senate pill No. 207,
which sought to prevent the giving of
rebates to secure life insurance bust
ness. The main causes given are that
the bill was clearly for the benefit OF
life Insurance companies, and not for
the benefit Of the people Of the state,
and further that any such agreement
could only be known to the two parties
at interest, and the law would be a
dead letter.
House bill No. 1856, providing for the
keeping Of records of real estate trans
fers in the Office of the county au-
ditor, is vetoed, being characterized as
hasty and crude legislation, and not
going far enough to be of any prac-
teal benefit.
House bill No.. 245, which appropriate
ed money to pay a Judgment held by
Margaret W. Mellette, also is vetoed.
This is a part of the old Taylor de-
~falcation deal, and the veto is on the
ground that the suit is yet pending and
not finally decided.

Lead, S. D., March 12.-Some one has

during the last few weeks, and many
business men have found them in their
tills. Counterfeit scent pieces ave
been given the most general circulation,
having been used to play the nickel-in-

every coin they take in now.
Merchants of other towns in the

same imposition, and the officers are
trying to discover the source Of the
counterfeits. Investigation has revealed
the fact that coins of other denomina-
lions have also been counterfeited and
passed here, but not in any considerable
amounts.

From Yankton north the ice in the

it break up suddenly by extreme hot
weather or heavy rains, there is dan
