Type Form Pied.

Just as the work Of the day was
concluded in getting out The Repub-
lican Thursday evening, and Foreman
Scoyille picked up the heavy ma
terial to carry it to the press his foot
slipped and he and the form went
down in a bunch. Foreman Scovllle
saved his form from very much dis
tigurement but the type form went
all to pieces, and it was the finest
bunch Of pi we have seen during the
whole OF the 26 years we have been
In the business. Body type. display
type, rules, leads, slugs, ETC., lay
there in one homogeneous mass while
the office looked ON with saddened
faces. The foreman in falling struck
against a sharp orne of the press
making a wound on his cheek bone,
and if it had been an inch higher,
doubtless it would have been all day
with him. There vas nothing else
to do but to gather the material up
on a scoop shovel and I'LL the page
out with plates and that accounts
for the absence of the local page in,

In probably no other army in the
world would 1T be possible for Il pri-

is not pleasant to think what would

a sergeant presumptuous enough to
act on the belief that even the fresh

him in INJURY.

ON SPACE ADVERTISING

Suppose that two clothieIs-mer-
chants of about equal standing
should divide equally between them
selves a very large purchase Of goods,
thus being able to offer to the public
stocks OF approximately ever value.
Suppose that the advertisements
of the two merchants were practical
lv alike in text-prices and descrip-
tions Of goods actually duplicated.
But suppose that one merchant
confined his advertisement one col
umn of space in this newspaper,
and that the other used a whole
page. Is there any doubt at all
about what the result would be?
Would any n imagine for a moment
that the merchant who used a col
umn of space would do as much bust
ness as the one Who used a page
even though everything else were
equal?
Most experienced advertisers will
agree that in this kind of a cast the
results would be very nearly in direct
proportion to the space used.
Size is still so much a factor in the
world-it decides so many things
In business as well as in statecraft,
that the advertiser who gives too
little consideration to it handi-
caps himself in the race.
In many an instance the mere
doubling Of the space occupied by a
store-advertisement in this newspa-
per would double the store-sales re-
sultine from it. An advertisement
will not 'sstand out.n in an eye
catching way, if it is crowded for
space-if it lacks 'selbowroom.''
The advertiser who has 'learned
things about publicity is as careful
to provide space in which his ad-
vertisement may leone out and be
separate :, as he is to make his text
matter dignitied and, convincing.

ON MONEYS AND CREDITS
Decision of Supreme Court in Test
Case Affects all Cities and
Towns in the State.
Towns III the State

Nermlllion, special; One of tho
most important decisions of the SUI
preme court in recent years has just
been hanued down. 1t relates to the
taxation of moneys and credits.
The higher authority reverses the
decision of Judge Smith, which was
TO the effect thas the board OF county
commissioners had no right to assess
certain moneys and credits owned by
residents of Clay county. This de-
cision will mean that the city of
Vermillion alone will secure about
ST., lGO for taxes OF 1904. 1t has
more than a local significance, for it
will affect nearly every town. city,
and county in the state. In the year
OF 1904 there was a general move
ment to assess mortgages and moneys,
but the proposition met with stub
born resistance.
AS a test case G.. Il. Salmer, a
wealthy citizen of Vermillion, went
into court with his trouble. He
was represented by Dean Thomas
Sterling Of the state university law
department, and the county board
employed Attorney 81. &. Tilton Of
this city and Attorney 9. Fl. Dillon
e Yankton for counsel. Arguments
we're heard before Judge E. G.
Smith in this city during a term of
circuit court.
The contention of council for Mr..
Salmer was that under the present
law it was unconstitutional for the
board to make any assessment OF this
nature, since no return had been
made by the various township asses
sors. "he boards attorneys argued
that If the present law were uncon-
stitutional, then the old law was in
force, and il the old law could not be
used, then the court was in a position
to do the assessing itself. Judge
Smith held that the board was IN
error, %whereupon the commissioners
appealed to the supreme court.
Many of the citizens who will be
obliged to pay taxes on mortgages for
the year 1904 will not be caught
mapping again. There has been a
general assignment OF mortgages
since the question arose, and when
time forth next assessment comes it
will be discovered that most of the
mortgages are owned by Iowa and
Nebraska people.

Sly the people will expect it. If that
us done the cost of preparing granite
would be altogether cut of proper
.tion with the provisions for building
a capitol. tt is true the commission
might fan to follow the statutes and
neglect to build the wing of the new
structure, but the Imperative de-
mands of the state officers makes it
absolutely necessary that they pro-
coed. If they proceed they will do
so ioi the good Of the people, and
while they will no doubt accept bids
from all state quarries, we feel GER
tain that the proposition of using
South Dakota stone is out of the
question. At any late there should
not be any fault founn with the COM
mission so long as the people have
voted through their legislature, in
Guiding the members FROM M%innehaha
county, to build only a $4,000, 90 build

erect a capitol. This question is n
that is OF much Importance, but the
fact that the plan for procedure is
practically laid out, makes 1T, unfor-
t~unately. a j%ughandled proposition
only one side for the commission to
grasp. The cheapest to fill he bill.

Indian Commissioner Leupp is OPP
posed to the system of educating the
Indian and in favor of permitting
him to live GU this own life, assisted.
only by harmonious suggestions from
the white man, says the Portland
|Oregonian. This solution of the In
dian problem will hardly be agreeable
to those who have been %endeavoring
for generations to make a white MIN
out of the red brother. AT the same
time there is merit in the suggestion.
In most cases the Indian receives just
sufficient education to awaken u!
him a desire for something better
than he has known. With this de-
sire comes a realization of the m
possibility in his short lifetime of..at-
tanning equality with the paletace.
The result is an educated, dissatisfied
Indian, who is of less value to socie-
" than a satisfied, uneducated men,
Der Of the race. Generations hence
the Indian problem will be worked
out by assimilation Of remnants
of the race by the whites. the
''squaw man. Of ..the reservations,
%detestable as he may be, having all
ready begun the work. Meanwhile
education has probably brought more
trouble and sorrow for the Indian
than can be counter balanced ny the
good that has been accomplished.

INSURANCE INVESTIGATION.

The investigation OF the big In
Surance companies, in which their
business methods were pretty thor
oughly sifted. is a step in a direction
that fifteen or twenty years ago it
would have been thought impossible
TO take. yet the necessity for it at this
time was abundantly apparent. The
poltcyholders have rested on the as
sumption, mostly. that all they had
reason to expect vas the face Of
their policy when they died. What
the big companies hive been doing
with the money has aroused the peo-
ples OF the country to the condition
OF knowing more as to the reason for
the expenditure of these fabulous
sums, which seem to have been going
on for years. In touching upon the
possible practical results that will
come from this Investigation, the
New York Tribune has the following
q say:
1t will be impossible for some time

Live Stock Market.

+ Denver Union Stock Yards, June 25.
The supply Of beef cattle was light
last week and packers bought every
thing fit for the block at good strong
prices. About l4,O0O head Of cattle ar
rived, but as usual at this time of year,
q good many were southerns going
through. Average quality of the offer
ings were good and trade was brisk
from start to finish. Some choice corn
fed steers sold at $500, the highest
price, with Others at $3.50 and any
thing in the killing line showing
quality brought better than $40.
Packers still prefer the light weight
steers but heavy kinds are still selling
to good advantage. Cow supply was
very light and nothing good here Best
brought $3.50, quality just fair, but few
were good enough to land above 1896.
A bunch of. choice cows this morning
sold at $4.00. Common cows continue
In light demand and dull. Veals are a
little higher. top today bringing $3.50.
