SALOON FIGHT ON.
Sioux Falls People Trying to Move
Saloon Near School.

saloon Near School.
There is law on the statute books
of South Dakota which says that "it
shall be unlawful for any one to en-
gase,in the sale of intoxicating LIQUORS
at retail in the same block in which
public or private school is located
or in the block adjoining" Prior to
the granting of a license by the city
of Sioux Falls on July /, number of
business men together with the pro-
prietor of business college which is
located in the block where P. Euger
conducts saloon, filed a protest with
the city council against the granting
OF license to Enger. The city coun-
Gil ignored the protest, when the par
ties aggrieved went into the state
circuit court and secured a writ of
prohibition to prevent the operating
of the saloon. Judge Frank r. Aikens,
who was retained by Mr.. Enger, filed
a demurrer to the writ of prohibition.
Judge Jones of the circuit court sus-
tanned the demurrer. Thus the saloon
is the winner of the first two rounds.
But the fighting blood of the business

attorneys to take whatever steps they
deem necessary to put this particular
saloon out of business. While only
one saloon has been attacked it is
known that the prohibition element,
while not taking hand in the pro-
ceedings SO far instituted, are watch

law be declared good and Enger put
out of business, the prohibitionists
will at once commence similar pro-
ceedings against eighteen of the TWEEN
ty-six saloons in the city, all of whom
are within the block where the bust

block.
1t is also understood that prohibit

When the blight of the night presses

Coming on of the dawn in the town finds
the heart of me low:
When the gray of the day is the shade
of the gray of a shroud-
One that Grapes phantom shapes as If
made of the mist of a cloud
Then thought goes for Haught and the
mind cannot frame a deceit,
For a balm that will calm it or blind It
with dreams that are sweet;
Then the soul in its dole stands all
stark. unprotected and bare.
And the hour of the power of the dark
ness descends on it there,
Then the weight of a fate that is strong
er than life, or than death.
Seems to rest on the breast that no long
e. holds pulses or BREATH
But, To- AS the woe of the spirit Is
deepest. a word
OF release and of peace-can YOU hear
it? The song of a bird,
The dawning of morning is here-the re-
prieve of the day
And the sunshine has won over fear and
has driven him away.
But, oh. it is slow--and l wonder some
times. what if fate
Should forget or should let the gods
blunder-and dawn come too late?
