MlNARD FOUND GUILTY
Charged With Taking a Trunk Q
Paul Robro, Justice Reeves
Found Him Guilty.

Justice Reeves was busy the greater
share Of Wednesday in listening to
evidence that was brought out in the
case of the state against Dave Min
ard. who was charged with having
stolen a trunk from Paul Robro. The
state was represented by II. E..
Hitchcock and Minard's attorney was
L. Q. Hardesty. The state set up in
its evidence that the trunk belonged
to Robro, and that it was checked to
Sioux Falls by Minard, the witnesses
claiming that he claimed the trunk
at the depot as his property. The
defense sought to show the fact that
the trunk was owned by Mrs. Keihm,
and that Robro had turned it oyer
in settlement Of his board bill. Mrs.
Keihm claimed that she requested
Minard to take the trunk and have it
chez ked to Sioux Falls. The whole
case seemed to hang On the ownership
OF the trunk, the state claiming that
Mrs. Keihm's lien did not give her
the ownership. The two attorneys
made an argument before the court
and afterwards the justice rendered
his decision He found Minard guilty
as charged in the complaint and as
sessed a fine of $50 and costs, which
will bring the whole amount up to
about 800. Attorney Hardesty gave
notice at once Of IN appeal to the
circuit court and Minard put up a
cash bond Of 500 for his appearance
at that time.

The Alaskan Boundary.

London Daily News: Thirty years
are a big chunk out of a mans life,
as Lord Rosebery would say. It is a
long time even for the processes of
peace, and suggests Jarndyce and
Jarndyce more than anything in
which America is concerned. But
even thirty years is we'll spent in ar
irving at a.friendly agreement, and
we may congratulate ourselves onthe
close Of the dispute as to the Alas
kan boundary as one more evidence
of the strong feeling which has
sprung up between England and
America of late, and which has
been unimpaired so far even by our
absurd frolic with Germany off Ven
zuela. In our news columns we pub
lish from our Washington cores
pondent the full erms of the treaty,
which provides for a tribunal which
will meet in London, and from which
there will be no appeal. 1t is grati-
flying to see the removal of at least
one of those barrels Of gunpowder
which seems distributed about the
globe for the temptation of the
nations and to the peril Of peace.

n CANDLES SUCCESSOR
Anna Eva Fay, the Spiritualist,
Names Timon Spangler as
CANDLES Successor.

When Timon j. Spangler read a
copy Of the Sioux City journal We'd
nesday evening he discovered that he
stood in the line Of succession to the
seat of Robert j. Gamble in the
United States Senate.
In Sioux City this week is a lady
by the name of Anna Eva Fay, who
is a spiritualist of the most pro-
nounced type, and a lady who is re-
garded as being DIT the top of the cult,
and she is credited with being able
to foretell and describe with accuracy
events for the future. She has been
tested in this respect and she rarely
fails in her work. Miss Fay gave one
of her performances In the opera
house in Sioux City tuesday evening,
and after giving a number of her
features she responded to a great
many questions that were asked her.
&c. H. Cassili, of Canton, was in the
audience and he asked of Miss Fay as
to the successor of Senator Gamble.
Miss Fay made the following reply !:
"Ihe new senator from South Dakota
will be a surprise. He will be a young
man, and his home is in little town
named Mitchell. He is ambitious and
capable. He is backed by money and
by what is better, ability, and his
name is S%pangler.n
The publication Of the statement of
Miss Fay has caused quite a good deal
Of comment and Mr.. Spangler is hav-
ing to reply to all kinds of queries
and congratulations in view of his
possible elevation to such an honored
place. Mr.. Spangler is not taking the
matter seriously to hears. but if the
spiritualistic medium insists that she
is right in her choice of CANDLES
successor, why, it is presumed that
MI. Spangler will not disappoint her.
II Miss Fay's prediction comes true,
and We all hope it will, she can call
on.Mitchell for anything she wants.
1t is often the case that some impor-
tant things happen from a source Of
this character, and in four years.
time n cannot always tell what
changes will take place. /.

Citizen Opposes Gas Plant.

-.
1t seems to many of the citizens
that it would be a mistake to put in
a gas plant in this city. This would
force many Of them to throw away
their electric fixtures and buy gas fix
lures, or put in n or other of the
many plants, whereby citizens supply
themselves with light, and it is
probable that many would prefer to
do the latter, il the electric light
should be discontinued. The thing
for the city to do is to provide an
efficient electric light plant and
charge for the service SO as TO make
it pay for itself in 5 to 8 years, and
it would seem, that the citizens
would rally to a mar for this. We
do not want gas. Citizen.

The profit Of a gold mine depends,
not on the amount of rock crushed
under the stamps, but upon the
amount of gold which can be extract
ed from the rock. In similar way
the value of the food which is eaten
does not depend on the quantity
which is taken into the stomach, but
upon the amount of nourishment ex-
tracted from it by the organs of nu-
triton and digestion. When these
organs are diseased they fail to ex-
tract the nourishment in sufficient
quantities to supply the needs Of the
several organs of the body, and these
organs cannot work without nourish-
ment. The result is heart "trouble,"
liver strouble,' and many another
aiiment. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, acting on every organ
o. the digestive and nutritive system,
restOres it to health and vigor. 1t
,.:ces diseases remote from the
stomach through the stomach in
which they originated. "Golden
Medical Discovery contains neither
alcohol or narcotics.

Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded BY
Clfcna Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, sl.o0.

The agonizing itching aud burning Of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering Of infants and the anxiety Of
worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand a REM
edy of almost su%perhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty Of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface Of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. "A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disfiguring and h%umiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss Of hair,
when all else fails.

Auditors Get Short Term.

Pierre State Register: The term
of all auditors elect will only be u
months, as the new code provides
that their successors shall qualify in
January instead Of March. This
cuts off quite a part of the term, as
well as perquisites Of the county
auditors elect, and while it does not
give them a full term it cuts them
short of a third term. The only aid
for the officer elect is to get an in
crease in salary. and this should be
done anyway, IS the auditor is as
much entitled to good compensation
al any other county officer.

Remedy For Negro Question.

Philadelphia Ledger: It is much
easier to criticise the granting of the
suffrage to the negroes ir the light Of
experience than to say what should
have been done at the close Of tine
war, or what should be done now.
Some persons have great faith that a
division of the vote would settle the
question, but it seems likely that it
would aggravate the difficulty and
danger. The Delaware instance
shows that a corrupt faction has
wrecked the republican party largely
by the use of the negro vote, and if
the democrats and the republicans in
the South should ever begin to bid
against each other for the negro vote
in order to get control the outcome
would probably be two corrupt and
degraded parties and a situation
simply intolerable. There is and can
be no safety in a free government
where there is a. great mass of lgno-
rant and degraded voters who can be
moved in a compact mass, and there.
fore, for a solution Of the problem
we must rely on the method of Booker
T. Washington and his Tuskegee in
stitute, which seeks to educate the
negro; to train him in thrift, indus
try and morality: to enable him to
become a self-supporting, a self-re-
speeding and moral citizen.
This method requires time, pa
thence, self-devotion, on the part Of
public-spirited and philantrophic
men, and in the far future, when the
problem shall be solved, the verdict
will be that the Southern Education
Board and the other agencies which
are laboring to help the negro on the
way to self-help and good citizenship
are not the least valuable allies which
the republic now possesses.
