their surmises rs to who the young
couple were that were accused OF being
married. 1t did not refer to Charley
Hroiaiord, Guy Bradley, Bob Connor,
Winnie McLiman, w. III. Wilson, or
any OF the other many eligible young
men of the town. The item was mere
ly a clever advertising dodge by the
Runaway Match Co. People were great
ly agitated about it and it was quite
the subject of conversation for ten
days. until now the bills are being
posted, and the wise ones who had
picked out several possible marriages
now feel foolish. ga Runaway Match
is a merry comedy, will be played here

Important to the People.

A good deal is being said in favor of
retaining the capital at Pierre but there
is good deal more that can be said
and will be before the campaign ends
III November. There is nothing, how
ever, OF more Importance to the people
OF the state than the subject of our en-
dowment lands. Tt is a we'll known
fact that thousands of acres of our en-
dowment lands were selected i'm CONN
ties tributary to the Missouri river and
in thinly populated counties. The lack
OF settlers made it possible, at that
time, to select some of the choicest
lands in these western counties. The
railroads and the location of the cap-
ital at Pierre have had vast influence
in building up and settling that por-
tion of the state. The value of our
endowment lands have corresponding
ly increased and will continue to in
crease so long as the tide of immigration
and settlement is attracted in that di-
rection. The soil in that section of
the state is as rich as any on earth, the
climatic conditions are changing owing
to Increased irrigation, and the time is
coming when the central part of the
state, in and around Pierre, will bios.
som like the rose. These things can
only be brought about by encouraging
immigration, actual settlers. The atti-
tude of Mitchell at this time is to dis
courage and give black eye to any
thing that is not in favor of Mitchell
for the capital. In our experience we
have discovered that the great majority
of people are optimists, not pessimists,
and they are looking to the future, not
living in the past, and Mitchell's efforts
to belittle that part of the state which
may not be quite SO thickly settled as
Dawson county, will not be successful.
The majority of the people are more
interested in the development of the
state as whole than they are in build
ing up a single town of real estate
boomers. They are more interested in
the increase of the states endowment
lands than they are in real estate at
Mitchell. High prices for endowment
lands means financial support for our
state institutions and decrease. in like
proportion, of the taxes necessary for
their maintenance.-Brookings Reg.

Something that is Needed.

There is some talk of organizing a
Y. M. G. A. and Y. w. G. A. in Hot
Springs and securing rooms for equip
ping bowling alley. gymnasium and
parlors for games, etc. This would be
move that we should judge would meet
with the hearty approval and support
of nearly everybody. There is an army
OF young men In Hot Springs who are
not drones and they long for some
place to go and something to do eve
nings-and even during the day time
hangs heavily on the hands of some.
If one.half of the parents of Hot
Springs would take an active interest
in the establishment of some such
place Fthey might establish an attract
i've. clean and most enjoyable place for
their young people. Chadron has
large organization and has purchased a
large brick block that we should Judge
might have cost several thousand dol
lars. They are fitting it up magniti-
Gently and it is the center of society of
the place, where both old and young con-
gregate for an evening of pleasure.
The railroad lends strong financial help
to the Chadron society Young men
lind it an elegant place to pass an eve
llng, Tor with {: bowling alley aud all
sorts of proper games who couldn't en-
JOY himself there? 1t is open all the
time and kept neat, comfortable and
attractive. Hot Springs should do
likewise. Such a place could also have
charge OF the city library and it would
bear inviting place for the large num-
Der OF strangers who come here annu
ally and who would enjoy place to go
and read or participate in other at
fractions there. 1t would be sort of a
club for business men-a place of meet
ing Tor any business or social organiza
ton. If some of the societies now
existing i'll Hot Springs would combine
and assume the leadership in organjz.
ing Y. NJ. G. A.-or call it auything.
only so that it has the proper object in
view-and we believe every business
firm in Hot Springs and every inter
ested resident would become a member
and would annually contribute gcner-
ously toward its support.
The STAR would like to hear from
any who might be interested in this
matter. Express your views and let
the matter be agitated for the good of
the young folks and the benefit of the
town.
