| SHALL we HAVE SEWERAGE Sys
TEMP

Mr.. r. D. Perkins d Mckinney mskei
Prepesltiea-Msyer Bstisr To-
terested ssd Seoe Actles
Psobsble.
Mr.. F. d. Perkins of Mckinney
owns the sewerage system of that
city, and in conversation with the
Pilot editor recently, stated he
would put in system in Bryan II
the city would provide an adequate
water supply. He does not require
any company to be organized and
so much of the stock subscribed
here; he proposes to do il himself,
the only stipulation being that a
water supply be secured sufficient
to operate the plant.-Pilot.
The above clipped from the Pilot
of yesterday afternoon relates to a
matter in which all the people Of
Bryan are vitality interested, and
which means more for the welfare,
growth and prosperity Of Bryan
than any other one problem now
confronting this city. To the Eagle
the proposition looks like the gold
en- opportunity to secure this long
needed public utility. Mayor But
Ter, who has been out of the city
a couple of days. was seen by an
Eagle reporter last night. and is
much interested in the matter. He
states that he desired to hold a
conference with Mr.. Perkins, and
that he believed the city would do
all in its power to secure the sew
erage system. He is of the opin-
ion that that the we'll in the city
park, on which work is now going
forward, may furnish enough
water, and if not another we'll can
be put down. His estimate of the
water supply necessary is based on
statements made by other parties
who have made sewerage PROPOSE
tons here. He is in hearty accord
with the the effort TO secure an up
to-date system, and il is the opin-
ion of the Eagle that the city will
take the matter up without delay.
And may the Lord prosper and
bless the effort.

Col. THOs. FITCH received
word the first of the week from
Gov. Crawford that the latter
had removed him from the
soldiers home board, and ap.
pointed A. B. Nelson, of Pierre
in his place. Col. Fitch had yet
two years to serve on the board
before his term of Office would
expire, and it is regretable that
the exigencies of partisanship
were such that he should not be
permitted to serve out his term.
T. G.. DeJean, of Plankinton,
another member of the board
was also notified that he had to
make room for a new man. Col.
Fltch's friends and old soldier

move him from the board with
out cause and without hearing.

A Communicate From Strand.

Strandburg, S. D. March 4, 1907
Honorable Bismark of the Grant
County News: Having read your
worthy correspondence about myself,
| take the liberty to answer. When
you are speaking about my self being
sly candidate for a certain Office
and sOrehead and that I was lacking
just three votes to get the nomin alton,
l can state positively there was no
shortage of votes, and if the Honor
able Bismark wants to investigate I'll
bring him, the antis face to face, that
no one could change against me- If
| had intended to run for the Office be-
forehand l don't believe Mr.. Bismark
could have deprived me of the dele
cation from Troy at that time. 1t was
demonstrated at the primary the dele
CATION had no choice nor any candi-
date. The reason why l made up my
mind not to enter into the race was
because it would have defeated Mr.
Dingsor, for whom l had the greatest
respect, and furthermore l would have
been blamed for Joe Hedman's defeat
They were the only persons that |
knew out of the whole shooting match
worthy of any consider alton. You'll
know Mr.. Bismark something about
the political situa alton in Troy if you
ever enter upon the race, and whether
the machine is dead or not, and you
will find out about the resurrection
stated by the local espondent
about two weeks ago. If you come a
little closer to our town you will
learn considerable more about the
situation. And furthermore, I'll
promise you if | should get into such
bad way as to become a candida
for an Office, I'll notify you in time so
that you will have chance to demon
strate your prophesy. | won't sail
under false flag either. / hope you
will have patience until you see
whether your prophesies are correct
or not. You probably will find out
there are more things in heaven and
earth than you ever dreamed of in
your philosophy.
With great respect,

The Anti.Ciearette Law.

The anti-cigarette law has
passed the legislature, and will
likely be signed by the governor
before this gets into print. The
law provides penalty for any per-
son selling, giving, or in any way
providing cigarette tobacco or
wrappers to persons under the
age of twenty one years. 1t also
provides penalty for any minor
found using them. While the
law is not what we asked for. it
is far better than the old one,
and all that is necessary for
great improvements in present
conditions, is to see that the law
is enforced.
Doubtless the law will not be
in effect until July 1st., of this
year, but the success of the law
depends on the kind of officers
the various communities have.
See that the may or or candidate
for mayor in your com unity is
com mitted to the enforcement,
then see that the aldermen are
likeminded. 1t is decidedly es-
sentlai that the mayor be wise in
appointing the police, for upon
this officer will depend the Of
ficiency of the law. Above all,
let the officers understand that
you believe in them, that you
will stand by them, and then ex-
pect them to do their duty If
they do not measure up kindly
refresh their minds, and if neces-
sary, do so repeatedly.
We have made progress so
far as the law is concerned, now
let US get the best results posi-

STRAY CLIMPSES AND SIDELICHTS.
(Crowded out last week. J


Milbank has a new debating club.
1t congregates at N. J. Bleser's drug
store evenings. 1t is trying to solve
the question as to how the hole gets
into the macaroni, and how does the
macarOni get on the outeide of the
hole. Mr.. A. j. Bleser says the hole
is pushed into the macaroni and the
macaroni pushed onto the outside of
the hole, which latter is then held in
place in the center of the macaroni
until it dries. Mr.. George Middle
bvook'has tried to change Mr. Bleser's
ideas for long time, but has finally
given up the effort. He told friends
before he departed for the east he
would look the matter up. Mr.. Pad
dock arises to bring the other de-
baters to a point of order. Every
time one of the members gets to prov
ing to the other fellow how the won
derful act is done the balance of the
club calls for cigars and when the
vote is taken, "cigars" win. Mr.. N.
j. Bleser just smiles and passes out

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and well set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
TO enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives It free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents 1t bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, q little
prominent and the eyelid fac and thin.
The ear should be small and erect and
quick in motion. The lop ear indicates
dullness and stubbornness. When too
far back, there is a disposition to mis-
