those who deserve 1t. Sometimes

A MONTH OF STORMS

Prophet Hicks maintains that
March will be a month OF many
storms and the opening DAYS indicate
that he is not far from being right.
He says:
The second storm period is central
on the 9th, extending from the 5th
to the Sth. The barometer will be
ing falling and the temperature ris-
ing in western parts by the 9Th, and
during the eth to the Sth inclusive,
more active disturbances with rain,
wind and snow will take up their
march eastward across the country.

dashes of late winter out of the
northwest along with the rising bar

which is central on the goth may
precipitate sleet storms at this peri
cd. and threatening. cloudy weather

the storm period next following.
"We will name the 10th to the 21st

the things to be looked for as this
time. General and destructive sleet

president Of the Dakota Central
Telephone Co., arrived in the city

can that work would be commenced

copper wire would be run direct from
Aberdeen to Mitchell via Huron.
which would insure the best possible
service.
Mr.. Zeitlow said that some OF the
material had already arrived in this
city for the commencement of the
work, a carload of copper wire reach
ing here Saturday. Several carloads
of other material will arrive in a
few days. The poles for the extern
sion of the line have been distribu-
ted along the right of way. This

municatIon with Huron, Aberdeen
and Minneapolis with the necessity
of transferring.

Auditor Markham made his semi
annual report showing che receipts
and disbursements for the past six
months. The report will be found
published on another page, and it
will be worth a perusal.
A resolution was introduced that
had the unanimous sanction of the
council. 1t referred to the city hall
building being used as a capitol
building for the state, in cast the
capital is removed to Mitchell.
There has been some discussion in the
papers that were supporting Pierre
that there was a question of Mitch
ell permitting the city hall building
being used for a capitol building.
The city council in this resolution
sets at rest all such unnecessary
fears. The following is the full text
of the resolution, which is signed by
each alderman, the mayor and au-
ditor:
Resolved, BY the city Council of
the City Of Mitchell, South Dakota,
in regular session OH March Z, 1904.
that should the voters of the state
of South Dakota, at the November
election give a majority favorable to
Mitchell as the permanent capital
of the state, the city will give abso-
lutely free rent the use of the new
City Hall building, now in course Of
construction, in its entirety. such
use to be continuous in its tenure
until such time as the state elects to
build, and occupy a capitol building
of its own.
City Engineer Nelson presented
the plan he has been working on for
several months in establishing an ad-
d%itlonal sewer system for the city.
His plan was gone over thoroughly
by the council members and it was
adopted. Mr.. Nelson presented a
map of the entire city which shows
the old sewer and also the extensions
proposed. 1t is a very complete
piece of work and reflects much cred
it on MIR. Nelson. Mr.. Nelson was
given an assistant engineer at the
water works for an indefinite time
while he is completing the further
details of the new sewerage. The
council adjourned.
