The guards believe tia: the weapon

Forrest, one Of the most desperate Of
the trio. The gun Edwards had was
taken from the Guard Tierney and

Watson, the second fugitive, had a big
nickel plated gun while Forrest had a

EDITOR lNDEPENDlNr:-
Dear Sir:
AT q full meeting Of the Sunday
School Board OF the Elko Presbyterian
church last night it was decided to hold
Christmas arrangements in allegiance
until some expression could be given Of
the public sentiment Of the community
III regard TO a public celebration Of
Christmas. Heretofore each religions
organization has gathered together it's
own people and a few friends and help
ers and tbus dividing the community
into two factions have had its "
exclusive celebration leaving out Of con-
sideratior, the well being Of h COM
munity at large. 10 Il smLu town
organizations ARE repres. uted there are
many who belong TO neither and as
Christmas celebration are not the
privilege Of a iew but the many We here
by express our willingness to cooperate
with the town in having this year a
general Christmas celebration in which
all can unite, young aud old, rich and
poor. The time is now oppurtune for
the recently erected Opera House makes
such a town celebration possible. Be-
lievjng that such arrangements will
create a better feeling among our people
and be conducive to the universal happi-
ness Of the children and all the children
We have requested this space in your
columns to rail- the attention Of u
~citizene to the importance OF this work
and appeal to then that it be left not to
a few but that it be made the reeponsi.
bihty OF the many TO bring together all
the children of the community in
Christmas festivities.
1t has been objected that il so Done
the work Will fall upon the same Sun
day School workers. We have more
faith in the public spirit OF our con-
munity than to believe that AM will
refuse a helping hand in trying to make
this the brightest and best-the happieet
Christmas We have ever celebrated.
1t will be 30 il our people take an inter-
est in it.
Allow me to suggest that notice be
given OF a public meeting TO he held
December 9Th at 1880 ut Henderson'e
Law office for the purpose Of making
arrangements for the same.
Yours for the common good

OPEN SALOON.
Tired of Fighting Blind Pigs /,
Vermillion Mayor Favors
Open Saloon.

yermillion. April GA bomb was
thrown into the camp of the temper
ance people of Vermillion yesterday
when Mayor FL l. Ferry declared in
favor of the open saloon for the state
university city in preference to the
system of drug store control now in
vogue The declaration of Mayor Ferry
causes surprise because of the fact that
heretofore there has never been hard
err worker for the temperance cause
than the present executive OF the city
affairs He has been engaged in some
hard fought battles, and always won
out
Mayor Ferry is nothing il not honest
in his convictions, ana he evinces no
desire to remain shady. He is disgust
ed with the temperance laws of the
state, he says, and believes it is time
that Vermillion is getting some revenue
since booze is and has been constantly
sold at all times. The straw that broke
the camel back was the acguittal of
B. f, Waterman in circuit court from
a charge of selling liquor contrary to
tfe city ordinance. Evidence was
taken, and plenty of proof was at hand
to show that Waterman had sold booze
to the complainant. Rollin Hart. The
defendant did not deny this. But the
evidence was not of the right sort to
convict. AT least Judge Smith charged
the jury that unless the evidence
showed that Waterman had sold the
liquor to be used as a beverage, ver-
dict Of acquittal should be rendered.
Before the jury retired for a ballot it
was very evident what the verdict
would be- And the acquittal Of Water
man virtually means that the city ordi
nance is worthless in prosecuting drug
gists for dispensing intoxicants. And
if Judge Smiths Interpretation of the
law is correct druggist OF Vermillion
cannot be prosecuted under the state
law, inasmuch as that governs cases
in cities only where licensed saloons
exist. Hence there is no recourse for
those opposed to the present meth ID Of
booze selling in Vermililon, and the
druggists can go with free hand.
They do not even have tn demand q
prescription from an applicant, ii they
nave evidence that liquor is wanted for
other purposes than beverage
One week from next Tuesday license
will again be voted on in Vernillion
The temperance people are lining up
their forces and will make every effort
to maintain Varmillion's unbroken rec
ord of twenty years for no saloons.

sented to assist as instructor. 1t is
proposed also to engage instructors

Wanted-A candidate for mayor of
Madison. Unless the underground wires
are working to perfection in the inter
est of political iatrigruers, the matter
of candidate for mayor of Madison is
IN the air-and high up at tnat. The
most thorough canvass fails to reveal
anything like concerted action on the
part of any considerable number of citi-
zens in the interest Of any particular
citizen for the place. And OH the other
hand suggestion to citizen to be-
come q candidate is met with what
leads to the belief is refusal Per
haps little coaxing might bring suita-
BILE men into line and perhaps again
there are men who would be pleased to
come into line and take the place with
out coaxing. But at the present time
the position seems to be going a.
begging. City caucuses are called to
be held tomorrow evening and no doubt
there will then be developments. and
out of all the mayoralty tim ber in
Madison candidate will be framed
But it seems out of the usual order of
things that there are not dozens of citi-
zens tumbilng over each other for an
opportunity to serve the city in the
highest Office in its gift

POPULATION.
immigration Changes Center of
Population in South
Dakota.

Pierre, April 9. I'm the great home
stead movement between 1880 and 1885,
the prairies Of the northern part of that
part of the territory now included in
South Dakota was SO geat that the
center of population which had been
practically stationary in the sonth-
eastern part OF the state for years,
when the 1885 census was taken had
moved abost 6fty miles toward the
north and west. Since that time the
center has fingered about the north
west corner of Miner county when the
next census is taken in 1910, the move
ment west from that location is likely
to be as radical as was that to the
north quarter of century before.
Especially will this be SO if the great
Belle Fourche irrigation project is far
enough along before that date to allow
filings under the irrigation act That
tract alone will bring thousands of
people to the state. That coupled with
the homestead moveAent west of the
river will be surprise even to that part
of the state along the eastern line, as
well as to the country farther east.
That movement is even greater this
spring than it has been for the past
two years. Every train into this city
is crowded to the limit, and most of
them are required to put on extra
coaches to handle the traffic, while
every freight train brings long strings
of emigrant cars. That is the move
ment here alone, and Chamberlain is
getting even more of 1t, because they
can send their cars farther west. The
movement from the east is meeting
and tapping owe, that from the west
coming by way of Rapid City, which
has increased many times over the
movement from the west in the past
years. Up in Butte county, they are
driving In along the old cattle trail
from Evarts, and Mobridge. and coming
down from the Northern Pacific on the
north, and the free homestead is soon
to be d thing not easily secured west of
the Missouri river Nearly every man
who came out and filed last year, and
who is now coming with his household
goods and farm machinery TO begin
gsettlement, brings with him friend or
relative who also desires to get some of
the government domain.
