IMPROVEMENT
OF Property in Our Town Would IN
VIie Capital In Our Midst.

If we were expecting TO enter
tam company we would want first
to put our house in order. The
same rule will apply to our town,
we should put our town in order.
There are a number of attract
i've building sites that should be
built up with substantial build
ings that are now used either as
an unkept vacant lot or are oc-
cupied by some worthless shack
of a building that is a disgrace in
appearance to the town.
The owners of such property
should have pride enough to tear
away such buildings and have
erected in their place buildings
in keeping with the town and
for which they could realize a
reasonable rental at all times.
1t strikes us that the proper
thing would be for the City Coun-
Gil to declare some of these
"shacks" q nuisance and have
them torn away. would be better
to have the lots vacant than to see
them occupied as some of them
are at present.
Start in on the public square
and tear away the old Court
house and build a new one to
take its place and then continue
around the entire block and re-
move every unsightly building
and have them removed and let
modern business houses take
their places. Then our town
would present q neat and invit-
ing appearance to strangers with
in our gates and would be an in
centive to capital to come here
where it could be profitably in
vested.
Let's have a general cleaning
up and make our town the pret-
tiest and most attractive place
in the mountains. Who will be
the one to make the start?

These were the words of Prof.

caught a fine, large trout fully FIVE

The court stated that he had
been reliably informed that gam

The instructions Of the court
were lengthy and forcible. He
dwelt at length upon the homi-
cides of our county and urged
that the Grand Jury and the
Petit Juries do their whole duty
and the result would be that
crimes of this nature would be
materially lessened. He also
dwelt at length upon the liquor
question and urged upon the
jury to Investigate all cases of
violation of the law that comes
under their notice.
The Court called the attention
of the Grand Jury to the neces-
sity of having a new Court House
and County Jail erected for the
health and comfort of the public
and repeated in substance the
same thoughts that we have
urged upon the people through
these columns.
After tire instructions to the
Grand Jury court adjourned un-

permit the candidates for Cong

SYMPATHY
Expressed For Caleb Powers
RV Former Governor
Of west Virginia.
ofhers write Letters or sympathy.

by the letters which he contin-
ually receives from men in diff
ferent States with many of whom
he is personally not acquainted.
These letters almost invariably
mention in the highest terms
the famous speech delivered by
Powers in his own defense, in
which he sought to establish
clearly his innocence. In let
ter from G. w: Atkinson, of
Charleston, w. Va, former Gov
ernor of that State, this speech
is spoken of as 1.-THE greatest
forensic argument ever made in
a criminal trial in our country"
Other writer's speak of it in no
less glowing terms and express
their conviction of it's authors
innocence.
Gov. Atkinson,s letter is as
follows:
Caleb Powers, Esq. Louisville,
Ky.-My Dear Sir: l want to
say that a copy of your speech
has reached me and l have read
it with genuine interest. In my
Judgment it is the greatest foren-
sic argument that has ever been
made in criminal trial in our
country. | have been in the
business myself for over quarter
of a century and ought to know
something about such things.
You have my sincere sympathy.
lam as sure as l am living that
you are not guilty of the offense
charge agaist you; and to pemit
you to be hanged for a crime you
never committed, simply to graf
ify a public political, partisan
clamor will be a disgrace to the
civilization in which we live and
a blot Oh Kentucky which time
cannot erase. am sympatheti-
cally yours.
q. w. Atkinson.
Another letter recently re-
ceived is from Lincoln G. Houk,
one of the leading attorneys of
Knoxville, Tenn, who says, in
part:
My Dear Sir: Inclosed ] send
you draft on New York for $50
as a small testimonial of a few
of your many admirers in this
city to aid you in the heroic
struggle you are making to save
your life and clear your good
name of the foulest slander ever
circulated in Kentucky.
Your three trials were farces
and travesties on the jury sys-
TEN, and you were three times
convicted on perjured testimony
of the boldest and rankest sort.
/ have never believed and do
not believe, you will ever be
executed. If you are, you will
go down in history as the Robert
Emmett of America. 1t would
be in the eyes of all iberty-lov-
ing Americans indeed, a judi
cial murder.
/ have read and reread every
word of your speech, and l con-
slider it the clearest, most COM
plete and convincing argument
in a murder trial l ever read or
heard. And / have read the
speeches of great many crimi-
nal lawyers, from Daniel Voor-
hees down, and during an active
practice of fifteen years in the
criminal courts of Kentucky and
Tennessee l have heard many
noted advocates.
1t seems to me that the Com
monwealth wholly failed to
prove the alleged conspiracy,
and, failing in that, under the
rules of law, the whole structure
fails.
Hoping you are in good health

Official Paper Of the CITY and County

The Chamberlain Democrat do.
plores mitchell knocking' in one
breath and then orders an extra ton
of coal on the strength OF the exceed
ingly satisfactory appropriation of
government lands in Lyman county
the last month. In an editorial last
week it accuses "we'uns of stopping
immigration, but in Its local columns
we find this:
During the month or September
the following business was trans
acted by the local United States
land office: Original homestead
entries. public series. BOG, for
1850 acres: entries Sioux series,
33, for 4,640 acres: entries Rose
. bud series, 6S, for I0,4S6 acres, or
Il total of 307 entries for 81, OO7
acres. In addition to these en-
tries there were Is reservoir
dcclaratories and 80 soldiers de-
c%laratorie, making a total of 445
quarters disposed of. This GER
talnly shows that there is still ii
very healthy demand for public
lands west of the river.
OF course Dan Knows that the Nit
chell campaign hasn't interferrcd Il
particle with immigration into Lyman
county. howevermuch it became en-
pedient to SHOW up the schemes of
running in train loads of packing
house men from South Omaha to
make a showing west of Pierre. Dan,
knows, TOO, that the Mitchell press
bureau has been very careful to say
repeatedly that the east half of Ly-
man county at least was Identical
with that of Brule and practically as
good a farming country. though it
must be admitted that the rainfall is
some less on the average. But the
Chamberlain Democrat for reasons
best know to itself found it exped-
lent to fight Mitchell and the Milwau-
kee road and of course the alleged
Knocking comes as a good excuse
for bucking the interests of all
Brule county, including the city of
Chamberlain itself, though 81 course
the Democrat does not look at it in
that light. If the capital goes to
Mitchell the Democrat will fluid that
that city and the Milwaukee will be a
greater factor in settling up and
building up the country vest of Cham
berlain than any other has ever been.
1t was also quickly discovered that
Chamberlain can by going at it in the
right way get as low if not lower
freight rates than Mitchell. Some of
the Chamberlain men are so afraid
that they will assist indirectly IN as
sisting another city they standin their
own light. Chamberlain has but one
