Kicks on Water Rent.

Editor Free Press: In last weeks
issue of the Free Press read an item
about water rent, and think it timely.
The people on the hill who had meters
put in think they have a right to kick,
but how is it among the poor people on
the fiat? If they use one barrel per
month they have to pay one dollar per
barrel, or twelve dollars per year, when
the St. Paul corporation and the city,
after putting in the service, could at
ford to issue water at $40 per year
when it cost the $40 per day for coal to
run it Now they run it with natural
gas without any expense. Are the taxes
reduced any? Where is the money
going? think it is regular hold-up
system, or better said, robbery. By the
meter system you have to pay $12 per
year anyway, hut if you use but one
pailful per month it cost you one dollar
per month, or $12 per year.

Obituary.

Thursday night, at the nome of Mrs.
Nina Bjoberg, occurred the death of
Ole Berseven, of pneumonia. The de-
ceased had been taken sick with this
dread disease about a week previous,
but had fought it off until death claimed
him as another victim. The funeral
ceremonies were held at the Swedish
Lutheran church Saturday. and the re-
mains laid at rest in Riverside cemetry.
Ole Berseven was born in Norway
fifty two years ago, and came to this
country as youth. In the early
eighties he came to Dakota territory and
settled in st. Lawrence, where he
worked at the shoemaking trade. Some
fifteen years ago he removed to Pierre,
where he has been trusted employee
of the Star Boot and Shoe store. He
has always been an upright, respected
man, and his death is felt in the COM
munity. No information is known Of
his relatives, except brother who is
living in the United States, but whose
whereabouts are unknown.

Glimpse Of the Future.

Aberdeen News: 1t will be fine
thing when South Dakota has large
of the railroad lines which
her Importance as an agricultural and
commercial state entities her to. And
if all the rumors published in the news
papers OF the state become realities
many railroad lines will be built in the
immediate future. Railroad ruinOrs do
not always materialize into railroads.
Some of the stories of railroad extern
tensions and Of new roads to be-
built have been repeated SO often that
the people of the state have become In
credulous when the subject is mentioned
and insist upon being shown. But the
development of the state has been SO
great that the roads cannot much longer
be kept out of the rich sections now
without modern transportation facili-
ties, and it is altogether probable that
the next few years will witness more
activity in railroad construction in
South Dakota than in any other state
of the union.

been attracted to the boy by draw

rapidly throughout southern Europe
In those days it was customary for
the Dopes to send for the noted men
Of their realm, more for the purpose Of
gratifying their desires to see such
celebrities than anything else. Giotto
was no exception to the rule No

Giotto arrived at the gates Of the
pope's private grounds. according to
the account. the guard halted him and
inquired concerning his mission.
The artist made the matter plain, but
the guard was not satisfied with the
explanation, frequently interrupting

1t is needless to add that the artist
