PooRHoUsE, BUT NO POOR.
Clark's Situation Typical of South Da'
kota Counties.


The county supervisors of Clark are
beginning to debate whether or not
their handsomely furnished and con-
veniently fitted poor house and poor
farm is necessity
Years ago the pioneers who settled
the county, having come from more
Eastern communities, thought poor
farm an absolute essential. So they
bought 4SO acres, built poor house of
elaborate proportions and had it hand,
somely furnished, heated with steam,
etc, and then waited developments.
None came. The people of Clark are
apparently so prosperous and there is
so much to do that no one finds time
to become pauper. The result is that
year after year the poor house remains
unoccupied.
While the people of Clark are natur-
ally little proud of the fact there are
no paupcrs in the county, still they
cannot help feeling the situation re-
fleets somewhat upon their hospitality,
since no one will accept it, and, as
South Dakotans, they do not like this.
The result is that with each succeed
ing year the poOrhouse Is made more
inviting, more convenient as a resi-
dence, more comfortable and luxuri-
Gus, until 1t will soon be probably the
most luxurious home in South Dakota.
In the meantime the attendants and
employees continue to be the only oc-
cupants of the Clark county poor farm.

WOULD RAISE FILING FEES.
Secretary Wipf Wants Change In Law
on Incorporation.

State Secretary Wipf has issued the
eighth biennial report of the depart
ment, and in the letter of transmittal
accompanying it he calls attention to
the matter of fees in the department,
recommending a radical advance in
filing fees for corporations and chan
gesin the laws for such filings. One
radica lchange is that the requirement
that one-third of the incorporators be
residents of the state should be cut
out of the law as it stands, but instead
that each corporation filing in the
state shall appoint resident agent
on whom service may be had, and
that the appointment of such agent be
filed with the articles.
The fee list he suggests fir the filing
of articles of incorporation is to be
based on the capital stock of the cor
poration, ranging from a minimum OF
SIS for any corporation with $3.50
or less capital stock, and from that up
to SITS for any corporation OF more
than $5,000,000 capital. Under his seal
the fee for $1,0O0,O0O corporation
would be $25; for 100000 capital.
s55, and for $1,O0O,O00 capital, $115.
He also recommends a change in the
general fees of the department.
He calls attention to an omission in
the revised code as adopted. and asks
for correction. as we'll as for the need
of a better index of the code. He fur
ther recommends that the legislature
donate fifty copies of the code to the
law department of the state univer-
sity.
He calls attention to the cramped
quarters in the old state house and the
needs fgraeter room and accommo-
dations for both the legislature and
state officers.
During the biennial period charters
have been granted to 106 state banks;
to 2O0OS remostic corporations; to 139
educational and charitable institu-
tions. One hundred and sixty-two
foreign corporations have entered the
state. The pardon board has recon-
mended pardons for fifteen prisoners
in the penitentiary. Eleven hundred
and fifty-one notaries have been COM
misSiOned.

There is, on the dump, about 1000
tons of ore that will average more

Dining it will be to shovel it into the
cars and run them into the mill. The
ore in the mine itself will go better

being shipped to the Standard smelter
at Rapid, and the brown ore to the

ever before in the history Of the mine,
and one Of the largest ore bodies ever
opened in this district is found in the
Ben Hur. The expectation now is that
the mill will be ready to run by the lat
ter part of this month. Graders are at
work tearing out the old trestle which
will be replaced by a new one for the
railroad spur. Grading is also being
done with a view to having an abund-
ance of yard room for the handling OF
ore, coal and other materials. When
the several coats of fireproof paint
have been put on the building and the
extra Chilean mill installed, the mill
will be practically completed and
ready for operations.

selves ultimately than to be eternally
helping them in the same place.
THE race problem will be settled
much quicker by putting the colored
people in a position to live independ-

training will not solve it. An artisan
is dependent, but farmer is independ-

 But we see Lincoln now no longer through the passion of those days. He stands forth the one commanding man already become historic. We see him now, not as those Hebrews of old hailed King David with songs and dancing, and shouts of joy, as he re- turned from his wars, having slain his ten thousands; we contemplate Lincoln's mighty fame, as we might gather around the great statue, and look up to Michael Ang9los David In one Of his early messages Lincoln said: Eel low citizens: We cannot escape his- tory. We of this congress will be re- membered in spite of ourselves. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose the last best hope of earth Lincoln has not escaped history. Others who stood around him have. Their names, one after another, are forgotten; as the foothills pass beneath the horizon, as the lesser lights disappear, as above the horizon at last some one mighty peak remains, so Lincoln's fame remains, like an Alpine peak-single, solitary, sublime, as the shaft of the Mater horn.
 But we did not know him at the first. Men did not know the man whom God had chosen to be his anointed servant. Tn his own home they did not know him, though God had girded him.
 Hardly four years before he became president he went home from a con- vention at Bloomington of all oppo- nents of the anti Nebraska legislation, a mass meeting was called to Tatify the convention; but only three persons answered the call. But Lincoln was one of the three. He said that the meeting was larger than he knew it would be, for he knew that his partner and himself would attend, but one other man had been brave enough 10 come, Then passing from jest to ear nest, as he often did, he said: While all seems dead, the age itself is not.

 At the morning service in Center church yesterday Rev. Dr. Newman Srnyth spoke on the topic, "Llncoln as a Prophet" in observance of the an niversary of Lincon's birth, A large congregation listened to an eloquent and impressive address. It was in full as follows:
 II. Kings it., 20:-And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen therof.
 can find no words in the Bible to express as well what we felt when Lincoln was taken from us, It was as though the whole country cried, My father, my father! It was as though we saw a prophet, in whom the voice of liberty had become articulate, sud- denly parted from us. It was as though in moment, in the chariots of Gods providence and the horsemen thereof, he had been carried into glory.
 Some present will remember, when the news of Lincoln's assassination came, the whole country had arrayed itself in the garments of joy, and in that hour it put on the garments of mourning. Among my indelible recol- lections is the memory of the way the news came to the army. We would not believe it at first, we thought the Confederates had broken the wires, and were playing with us and plaguing us. But I remember that line of men, who had never flinched in battle, how they stood with bowed heads and brave eyes filled with tears, when the order announcing Lincons death was read. And I remember the fierce outbreak of wrath, the disclosure of the ven geance pent beneath our human nature, which burst forth then like vocanic flames, in the passion of the men around the camp fires. Remembering that, and the possible fury of mans sense of justice, I shudder when any one stirs, or with reckless appeal seeks to evoke for mad purpose those ele-
