A GLORIOUS SOAKING
The Rain That Was Needed Did Not
Fail to Come at the Proper
Time for the Crons.

The rain that has been promised
by the weather bureau for several
days made its appearance Sunday
evening, and from 7:3O until about
noon Monday it was a continuous
performance. 1t was n of those
slow rains where every drop OF water
goes into the ground and stays there
without running Off. Up to noon
the precipitation amounted to 81
inches and it certainly "a n Of
the finest that ever struck this coun-
Try. Many of the farmers in the
county have just about finished corn
planting and this moisture coming
on just as it did will be a great help
to the crop. Wheat is making a
magnificent growth. In the early
part of the season the weather was
cool and gave the wheat a fine
chance TO stool, and we are informed
by the farmers that the wheat crop
has not had as good a start in a num-
Der of years as..at the present time.
The rain is reported to--.have gone
as far north as the southern part of
Brown county, while out west it
barely reached .Kimball. None of
the western states have as good an
outlook for a successful crop, as
South Dakota. In North Dakota
there is so much water on the ground
that not one-half of the crops have
been planted this spring.

The Pierre Journal intimates that
the Northwestern road is a purer in
stitution than the Milwaukee, be-
cause the latter runs Sunday excur-
sions. We notice that in the Brook
ings Register the Northwestern car
Iies an advertisement calling atten-
ton to an excursion that will be run
to the Twin Cities Saturday night
to spend Sunday either IN Minneapo-
lis or ST. Paul. This is just as en-
c%ouraging for the people to &c away
from home to desecrate the the Sab
bath as 1T is to run a train on Sun
day, and the Northwestern can't
make the trip to the Twin Cities
without de%secrating both ends of the
day.

Pinto,s scheme.

1t was Mr.. Streeter. a London jewel
er, who was instrumental in exposing
the notorious Pinta, who claimed to
have discovered the philosophers stone.
His method consisted in having a bag
of gold dust concealed up his sleeve,
from which, by an ingenious contriv-
ance, he was able to squeeze the pow
dered metal unnoticed into the crucible.
By this means he was able to melt a
sovereign and produce three or four
times its weight In metal.

When you came right down to, the
essence Of this capital proposition
the people of the state want the cap
ital placed where they can get to it.
For fourteen years they have spent
much time in getting out to the
frontier town and during all those
years there have been loud acclama-
tions against consuming so much
time in reaching the capital Of the
state. 1t was on this basis that the
legislators decided to submit the re-
location to a vote, Our Pierre
friends assert that but few people go
to the capital anyway and that it
might just as we'll be left where it
is. True, there are not many people
go to the capital of South Dakota,
and for the very reason stated-it is
to far away. With it located within
easy access there would be ar meal
culably greater per cent of the peo-
pie make a personal trip to the cap
ital if it we're located at a town that
could be reached without spending
more time in going and returning than
they would have after reaching their
destination. Pierre people are try
ing to Lave it understood that this
is a movement to help tine growth of
Mitchell. That they are wholly mis-
taken in such an idea is shown by
the fact that Huron and Red6eld
were both candidates for the selec-
ton as the rival of Pierre and it is

THE EASTER DISPLAY.
Merchants Have Stores Dressed More
 Elaborate Than Ever.

The display of Easter goods in the show windows is well worth a trip about town, and women folks, and men, too, even though they may not do much buying, who have the time, could not spend an hour or so more proftably. There is a lot of 1nforma- ton to be had in looking over the prices and sizing up the styles, and after one has done this he knows what he wants and can step in and make better bargain than he could if called upon lacking this drilling. The trou- ble with the articles in the windows is that they never look so well any place else, and 1t is not unusual for a buyer to think after he gets home and lets out his purchase that somebody blun- dered. He cannot believe that the shoes which attracted his eye in the store are the same ones he is putting on at the house, and he is willing to make affidavit that he never bought that trousers and hat. The men do most of the fau1tfinding about what they buy, but once in a while the wo- men imagine that they don't appear to as good advantage at home in their Easter bonnets as they did when they took full length views of themselves in the mammoth mirrors at the mill linery emporiums. and when this hap pens there is bound to be trouble. But this is digressing. The different deal CTS have prepared quite neat exhfbi- tions and if the weather is favorable thousands will inspect their handiwork between now and Saturday night.

 Sn Va~AowSlIm

Much interest will be felt in the an- nouncement that Manager Poli has se- cured for a special feature of next weeks bill at the Jacques Miss Kate Minahan of Orange, N. J., who has many friends and relatives in Water bury. Her father, who was noted contractor, built the Watertown branch of the Consolidated railroad, and filled some other big building contracts here. while making this city his headquar- ters at that time, MT Minahan went into the Immaculate Conception church one Sunday and heard Miss Hattie Slater, then the organist, play and sing. ''That is simply magnificent" !" he remarked to a friend after leaving the church; "Im going to marry tnat girl" And not long after he made her acquaintance, won her heart, and car ried out his word. Miss Mtnahan has received very fine musical education and IS a most accomplished singer. She has half sister living here who is music teacher, and there are many realtives living in this city, former Town Clerk Frank O. Brett being her first cousin. Miss Minahan has had splendid success since entering vaude- vile some six months ago, and MT Keith, for whom she played in New York and Philadelphia, has predicted very promising career for her. When she appears at the Jacques next week her friends in this city, where she has frequently visited, will accord her & most enthusiastic reception.

INSPECTOR MOSES
BUSY AS A BEE.

Already Sanitary Inspector Moses or the health department has started out on his annual rounds of the back yards of the city and as a result good deal of cleaning has been done which often runs into the warm weather. This Is the pest time of the year to put backyards in proper con- dition for the summer and those who defer 1t from time to time and move only when the health authorities get after them make serious mistake
 It costs less to do the work now than later and it would seem that it would not be a bad plan if the board of health put time limit on the business
 say May l, and then take hold of everybody who failed to comply with the order. The law should be rigidly enforced in the matter of sanitation
 and it is understood that folks who
 wink at it this season will be made 1 to feel the lash. Public officials, it matters not whether they are demo- Tcrats or republicans, do not like the idea of taking private citizens into ] the police court, but 1t is safe to pre-
 dict that if nothing worse could be ! charged against an administration than that it brought people up with a
 short turn, who persisted in maintain ! ing filthy backwards, foul breeding cesspools and surface closets where
 typhoid fever diphtheria and other 1 desease germs make their headquart CTS, it would not lose any strength or ] that account Let us be clean, any : way, even though we may not be richly costumed.

Children especially arefond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food.
 As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also cake that Is health ful as well as dainty must be raised with pure and perfect baking powder.
 Royal Baking Powder Is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar light ness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc.. and what Is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.

An attempt to stuff the ballot box fin the republican caucus in the sev- enth ward at Hartford last night lent additional interest to the occasion enlfvened as it was by the spirited contests for the positions of third and fourth councflmen. There was lively competition for the nomination for third councilman, Gilbert Hurd, T. Charles Tredeau, George W. Sanford and Alfred IT. Traute running The result of the first ballot gave Sanford 45, Traute 42, and Hurd B. Tredeau withdrew, to be candidate for fourth councilman. As there was no choice a second ballot was taken. Mean while it had been rumored that some men who had no right to vote were voting. On this ballot sharp watch was kept, and two seedy looking fellows were detected in the act of placinN handfuls of ballots dn ene tellers hats. These ballots were thrown out and the men were warned not to repeat their offence. The ballots proved to be for Dix for auditor and Tredeau for councilman, notwithstanding the fact that the latter had withdrawn.
