He is happy man or woman
who does not forget that about the
kindes, thing a boy can remember
about his father is that he always
took us to the show. When the
bills are posted announcing the
coming OF the big show, we are
happy because we are going so see
a good, honest show when Coll
mar Bros. arrive here on Tuesday,
July 20.
There seems to be an excess Of
troublesome and hungry dogs in
town as a number of persons have
been complaining lately OF chicken
losses which have been traced to
hungry "purps.' On the other hand
q number of our citizens who pay
a license on their dogs complain that
someone is out with a gun for all
dogs-license or no license. 1t is
certainly not right to shoot a IL
censed dog. Such a dog is usually
we'll fed and consequently would
hardly kill chickens. Il he does,
however, complaint should be made
to the proper authorities. A dog sc
good-for- nothing that no one will
pay his tax is not deserving life,
liberty or the pursuit OF happiness
and the authorities should see to il
his earthly career is cut very short
Pioneer Times. F. c. Tucker
Engineer for the Black Hills &
Wyoming Railroad Company, re.
turned home on the Burlington
last evening from Chicago, where
he had been called to attend q
meeting of the directors of the
company held in that city. lr
speaking OF the meeting last eve.
ming, Mr.. Tucker had but very lit.
tie to say. He stated that the rail.
road project seems to be all right,
but everything hinges on legal de.
cisions which has direct bearing
on the Crouch Coad controversy.
AS soon as this decision is made
the work can be carried on in a
very successful manner. There
are some technical points which
the parties promoting the road are
not quite clear on, and they will
await the decislous.
Rapid City's gas plant is an as
surred success from a financial point
of view. Their force Of men have
been put to their best efforts in lay
ing pipes and fitting fixtures and
stoves for cooking purposes. Busl
ness is fairly booming with the com
pany and bids fair to keep up
While we are on the subject it seeln'
too bad that the mains are not laie
in alleys instead Of in the streets
Leaks may occur at any time apt
when they do the main thorough
fares must be dug up. This results il
not only distiguring the streets bu
may cause serious damage to team
at night. A team drove into new
ly-dug ditch near Lenharts lumbe
yard Tuesday night and it was
miracle that no one was killed
Lights had been placed on the ditto
but the wind blew them out.
