be a Great Amount of Bust
ness During the Week.

Under the law passed by the recent
legislature circuit court in Dawson
county will be held about three weeks
earlier this spring than in former
years. The term will commence on
Tuesday morning of next week. Sher-
If Kintlgh has just finished serving
the jurors with their summons to at
tend the session, and it took him
four days to make the rounds over
the county.

seven cases, but it is likely only one

a settlement. There are two liquor
cases, and two against Fred L. Stev-
ems, that are held in allegiance await
ing the decision of the supreme court
on the first Indictment. George

another individual.

AFTER PERSONAL TAXES
Mead County Commissioners are sui,
%ficlently Radical on the Mat
ter of Personal Taxes,

A"ANot
Evidently out in Meade county in
the Black Hills country there has
been a disposition on the part OF
some people to list their personal
property at a very low sum-, and it
has aroused the county commissioners
to a point Of action where the per-
sonal taxes must be shown up. The
following special from Sturgis indi-
Gates the plan that has been adopted
to give publicity to the amount of
personal assessment of each individ-
ual in that county:
The commissioners of Meade county
passed a resolution concerning per-
sonal tax matters that is radical
enough to suit anybody. In order to
afford each taxpayer an opportunity
to make COR plant against any other
taxpayer for failure to list personal
property for taxation OR for listing
the same at less than actual value
the board has ordered the publication
in July next of the 1903 assessment of
personal property, such as live stock,
goods and merchandise, moneys and
credits, as listed by each taxpaeyr in
Meade county for said year. The
board also will raise all assessments
which are known or deemed to be un-
just to the county, and gives notice
that all attempts on the part Of tax
payers to evade taxation by made
quate listing of property will be
prosecuted for perjury to The. fullest
extent of the law.

THE ELECTION TUESDAY
The Election Was Quiet on the Sur
face But q Great Deal of
Hard Work Was Done.

The candidates for aldermen, men,
bers of the board of education and
school treasurer had an easy time
during the election Tuesday, and
they had no cause to worry ove their
possible defeat. There was no opposi-
tion along any line. Owing to the
fact that there was no opposition the
vote on candidates as a rule was
lighter than on the license question.
The main work of the day was
/ done on the license question, both
sides having out a force of men that
looked after the voters and saw that
they got to the polls. Several mem
hers of the w. g. T. q. were in the
vicinity of the polls and distributed
! cards to the voters as they went to
cast their ballots, the interest of the
ladies being against licensing the
saloon. But very few we've looking
for such a large majority for the
license question, as in previous
years the issue was won by a margin
| of from SO to Is.
The following is the result Of the
election in the city:
First ward-Alderman. Corles-
Newbury, 1859; G. G. Halphide, school
board, 1913; L. L. Dawson, treasurer,
1913. For license 95; against license
116.
Second ward-Alderman, Martin
Gleason, 1852; school board, Gottlieb
Scheurenbrand and VIM. Herbert, ST.,
1872; N. L. Dawson, treasurer, ISL:
for license, ia, against license, 80.
Third ward-Aldermen, Geo. E.
Foster, 115. G. E. Reeves, 107: school
board, H. l.. Bras las, W. H. Conyes,
149; for license, "a, against license,
40: N. L. Dawson, treasurer, l49.
Fourth ward-Aldermen, j. E.

| 22l ; for license, 14O, against license

ceived 443, and anti-license 282, max
ing the majority for issuing licenses
| 161. This is the largest majority
that the issue has received in this
city since the days of state prohibit
ton.
The members elected on the council
Will take their places at the first
meeting IN May. which will take
place Monday, the 4th.
The gentlemen who have been
selected to represent the citizens on
the council and board of education
are we'll known citizens, and there
is no questioning of the matter but
what they will do their best to for
ward the interests Of their respec-
tive bodies in conformity to the
wishes of the people.

LICENSE CARRIES EASILY
The License system Received a Larg
er Majority Today Than for
Several Years.

We're it not for the fact that the
license question was voted on Tuesday
the annual city election would have
been a very tame affair. On the
aldermanic candidates there was no
opposition, and nothing of impor-
lance developed in the matter Of the
board of education. Consequently
ali the energies of either side was
directed to getting out the vote fol-
or against license.
The contest was carried o. in a
good natured manner, and things
were very quiet on the streets. By
the noon hour over half the vote in
the four wards was polled, many o.
the men who r engaged in daily
work taking advantage Of the hour
to cast their ballots.
The University vote did not de
velop a very large nmuber and it is
thought that not to exceed twenty
five students voted during the day
On the license question both side:
worked hlrd for a victory, but thu
vote shows the license people were
successful.
Following is the vote in the variou!
wards:
First ward-License, 95; against
116.
80.
Third ward-License, 81 against
40.
Fourth ward-License, 40; against

Elections in Other Towns

Woonsocket, which has had a fight
on hand for the past year over the
granting of saloon licenses, held its
election on the proposition Tuesday
and perhaps to the surprise of the
people up there the town went license
by a majority Of 81.
Canton also voted on the license
question Tuesday, but the license
people lost the proposition by a ma
jority of 81.
At Dell Rapids the license question
was lost by a majority of AZ, every
ward in the city voting against the
sale. Last year the majority was il
favor of issuing licenses.
Faulkton which has been a prohibi
tion town for the past fifteen years,

Our ..citizens are all holding their
breath in anticipation of Mltchell's
success in the race for the state hub,
and of course eventually we will all
breathe easy and loud, with three
cheers for the victory, and we will
all take a ride into the capital and
indulge in the biggest blow out that
ever went anywhere.
L.. A. Mabbott, of southeast Hopper,
has put in most of the past week
since seeding at putting out fruit
trees and berry pushes. Last year he
made a deal with l.. Fl. Smith
Nursery Co., of Iowa. and put in a
sample and test orchard on his farm
put out more this spring. He has
now about 100 apple and crab trees
% tame plums, and abundance of
wild plums, 200 gooseberries, IS black
berries, also currants and straw
berries-all doing finely. He has
also added 1000 mixed forest trees
to his thrifty groves.
Every farmer should put out trees.
There was a time when we found it
difficult to raise trees here in Dako-
ia; but conditions are changing f; our
soil is better adapted to their
growth now than in the early days.
The wild nature and sourness and
sod are more subdued now than then,
and If our farmers who have become
DISCOURAGED in their efforts to raise
trees in the long ago will make the
same effort now we dare say that
they will be satisfied with the result.
We are pleased to see our old time
neighbors and friends, Joe Ryan and
family, again on their farm in North
Dudley. Joe is making some inn
provements in the way of buildings.
He also has put a nice bunch of
cattle in his pasture. Success to
you, Mr.. and Mrs. R.
All the farmers tributary to Mt.
Vernon will attend the Farmers

country are booked as members,
there being something like $50 mem
bers listed.
Parties driving over the roads
should be cautious about crossing
bridges just at present, as the em-
bankments to many of them are cav
ing down at either side and in many
cases the small bridges are about to
drop in, the frost having gone out of
and the high water and recent rains
and the lack Of time Of our road
overseers to repair them make it
dangerous to drive onto some of the
bridges. We came near getting
trapped in a large washout on the
township line nea Knutson's one
day this week, but we think Overseer
Jake Weick will attend to it before
any damage is done or accidents
happen. It's just like Jake to see to
: it in time.
