FISCAL COURT.

This morning fiscal court met for
tbe second Gay of the present term
and the most important thing done
possibly WAS the report Of Justice r.
J. Barbsr, who engineered the refund
ng Of the 100000 county bonds to
4lsybolte & Company, IN New York,
ana the burning of the old cancelled
bonds.
The burning Of tbs bonds was rer.
formed IN the circuit clerk Office in
the big stove and every bond was
burned in the presence OF all members
Of the fiscal board, the county Judge,
county clerk and the deputy circuit
clerk. There were 100 bonds to burn
and the paper made hot fire indeed.
Justice BARRIERS report was a min
ute account of his trip to New York
and what was done in refunding the
bonds. His work of rofunding the
bonds with Kley bolte was satisfactory
and the board was better pleased with
the Job than had the refunding been
done with White g. Company, who

FALSE OR IGNORANT.

When Judge Parker says in his letter
of acceptance that the Dingley Law
contains many duties imposed for the
express purpose only, as was openly
avowed, of furnishing a basis for reduc-
tion by means of reciprocal trade trea-
ties" he states a falsehood and he makes
an assertion which, we believe, he knows
to be a falsehood. Not only does he
make this statement once in his letter
but he reiterates il in the following
words:
AS already mentioned by me, the
exorbitant duty imposed on many an
imported article by the Dingley Tariff
was avowedly intended by its author
not TO be permanent, but to serve tenn
porarily as maximum, from which
the federal government was empowered
TO offer a reduction, in return for an
equivalent concession ON the part of
foreign country"
MOI once, but many times, has II been
declared upon the floor of the house OF
representatives that this assertion is I'M
qualifedly false. II is very safe for
Judge Parker, now that Nelson A. Ding
ley is dead and buried and unable TO re-
flute his statements, to bring up again
this very absurd assertion; and yet
members of. the ways and means com
mittee who helped frame the Dingley
law have stated too many times that
no such duties were imposed for any
such purpose for Judge Parker not to be
fully eonversant with the situation il he
has kept abreast of the news of the day.
If Judge Parker pleads ignorance for
making this misstatement, then he does
not help his ease, but shows most de-
cidedly what the American people are re
alizing more and more every day, that
he is entirely unfit to occupy the highest
position in the gift OF the people

How indian. Int.rpre. Dreams.

According to n authority this is the
Interpretation Indians give to certain
dreams:
Ii you are a young man or woman
and dream Of flying low il is a sure
sign you are short lived, and it is time
you were preparing your little bush
ness to do your flying at some other
place. If you dream of flying among
the house tops or just above, you will
reach the fifty or sixty notch.
Ii you dream that you are away
above the tree tops, then you are good
to live up into the nineties, and ii you
dream that you are humping the stars
with your gourdhead, then you will
reach the century notch. To dream
that you are solid with a black eyed
beauty is a sign that you will kill a fine
buck deer before you sleep again. To
dream of blood means also meat in the
pot. To dream of your would be moth
er-in-law breaking a bow over your
head is a sure sign that you will not
be her dear beloved son-in-law. Ii
you dream Of eating sofky with a de-
ceased friend, make your will before
another sun goes down.-Kansas City

to drive his carriage over it.

SOME REMOVAL REASONS.
The Mitchell capital committee

The Mitchell capital committee is
sending out blank slips to "promi-
nent citizens and voters over the
state, asking them to jot down "three
reasons why the capital should be
removed from Pierre. The Herald
has not received one of these
inquiries, but takes the liberty of
answering them with full permission
to that city's boosting committee to
make use of its remarks in its press
bureau campaign:
~ The capital should be
removed from Pierre because the
South Dakotan is not a man of his
word. He submitted the question
of capital location once with the
understanding that the site chosen
should be permanent, and with this
in view Pierre made a strenuous and
expensive campaign to capture the
prize, and since has expended great
deal of money in its support. Now
he desires to repudiate this agree
ment.
(2) Because a few real estate
dealers and politicians of Mitchell
see an opportunity to do some graft
ing at the expense of the state gov
eminent. These men have already
been the cause Of several hundred
thousand dollars extravagant and
useless expenditure to the state in
forcing their removal measure
through the Legislature, but the
South Dakotan is not satisfied with
that. He desires to e the capital
on wheels, travelling about the state
like a street carnival, exhibiting its
political curiousities to the cities
which are able to raise the largest
bonus from year to year. 1t may be
an expensive luxury, but the South
Dakotan pays the freight, and if he
says he wants the capital carted
about the state occasionally his
authority should not BE- questioned.

reconciliation That Failed.

James vi. of Scotland-afterward
James l. of England-in 1857, being
much perturbed by the constant quar-
rels among his mobiles, determined to
end all disputes by a summary process
Of reconcilia ton. Accordingly, having
assembled the mobiles on Sunday, May
II, at Hollywood, In the lodging of Sir
James Maitland Of Thirlstane, he
drank to them and caused them all to
shake hands. On the following day,
after banqueting them in Holyrood, he
caused the earls of Angus, Montrose,
Mar and Glencairn, also the master of
Glammis and many others-all deadly
enemies to one another-to march hand
in hand two abreast from the abbey to
Holyrood along the Canongate and
High street of Edinburgh to the town
cross, where the provost and bailies
had a table spread with wines and
sweetmeats. Here the company once
more drank to their eternal amity and
separated. But a few weeks later they
were lying in wait, as Of old, to kill
one another.

Stale Bread,

1t is generally supposed hat the
staleness of bread arises from it's be-
coming actually drier by the gradual
loss Of water, but this is not the
case. Stale bread contains almost ex-
actly the same proportion of water as
new bread after 1t has become COM
pletely cold. The change is merely in
the internal arrangements of the mole
cules of the bread. A proof of this is
that If we put a stale loaf into a close
ly covered tin, expose it for half an
hour or an hour to a heat not exceeding
that of boiling water and then allow
1t to cool, it will be restored in appear
ance and properties to the state of the
new bread.

Residents of a certain block which
boasts a long sustained responsibility

verted into a blacksmith shop. The

when 1t saw the bold signs which
the proprietor put upon his walls. Pres
emily a tailor's shop was opened on the
block. This was the final stroke.
Property began to exchange owners
and furniture vans were busy for a
time. Then the blacksmith shop and
the tailor's store suddenly vanished.
What had happened? Nothing more
than that some designing real estate
dealers had attained their ends. They
had bought a few houses and had pur-
posely set about ~depreciating the value
Of the adjoining property so that they
could get II at bargain rates. The black
smith and the tailor were allured by
the bait of cheap rents in the houses
which the dealers had bought, and per-

were to make themselves as obnoxious
