Before Justice Rowton.

On Wednesday afternoon a colored
woman named Ruth Butler of the
BOwery section, was before Justice
G. /. Rowton's court charged with
selling intoxicants without the for
mality of securing a license. The
defendant was bound over in the
sum of 5000 to appear at the spring
term of court. She produced the
bond. Annie Bailey, also colored
was the prosecuting witness. On
Tuesday the Bailey woman was be-
fore Judge Rowton charged with

Butler. So both are probably think
ing ere this that the way of the
transgressor is indeed a hard one.

An Historic Flag.

Pierre, So. Dak.-Henry I. Stearns
of Medary, has presented the State
Historical society with the flag which
was floated over the first fourth of
July celebration in the upper-Sioux
valley on the Fourth of July, 1873.
When the settlers began to prepare
for their celebration they found that
they had no flag for use on the occa-
sion, and the n now in possession
of the society was manufactured for
the occasion. The red stripes were
made from an old scarf, and the
white ones from a petticoat donated
for the purpose by one of the ladies
of the party. The field was made by
painting the white cloth blue after
blocking out the stars, which were
left Imprinted. The banner is four
by seven feet in size. With the flag
was an old pair of blacksmith's tongs
which were brought to Medary by
the first settlers in 1857, and which
were with other articles cached when
the party was driven out by the In
dams. Later settlers opened the
cache and took out the articles in
closed.

Take Interest in Business.

Get in touch with your employer.
Take a live interest in his business,
no matter what it is. Be pleased
when the days receipts have been
big, and let him see that you are
pleased. When times are dull rack
your brains for means of .bettering
conditions, and when you think you
have a really good idea tell him about
1T. He will appreciate your interest
even 1t he doesn't follow your sug-
gestion. If your employer is a man
who likes to talk about his business
to you, listen respectfully and show
that you admire his business ability
whenever possible, and just learn to
keep still when he brags about some
t9ltag that lseems foolish to you.
This isn't deceit. Its just good sense.

and Telegraph Assessment

Pierre, S. d., July 31.-The state
assessment board has completed the
assessment of telegraph and tele-
phone lines of the state and will
this week take up railroads, express
and sleeping car companies. The
Western Union system in the state
was increased from $4,000 to-
$4,000 and the Postal Telegraph
raised from $4,000 to $500, maxi
ing a total increase of $4,000 on
that class of property.
When the board takes up railroad
and express companies they will
have a hard proposition to look af-
ter. The new law means a COM
plete change in the method of as
sessment of railway property, and
practically a new basis will have to
be worked upon. The board also de-
sires to get a different basis for eX-
press companies if possible, as such
companies in their reports of bust
ness in the state only report business
Which both originates and ends with
in the state, making no RECORD of
their interstate business on the as
sertion Thai it is impossible for them
to divide the small charges on their
packages which are transported
Through several states. The desire
of the board is to get at some ba-
sis which will show the actual bust
mes in the state.
The report of the bureau of vital
statistics for June shows a steady
increase in population through births
and naturalizations over deaths, of
the former, 431 were female and 4S9
males. The deaths numbered 1924:
the marriages 410; the divorces IS,
and the naturalizations 1856.

Trees Cannot be Acclimatized.

Trees are fixed almost infexible,
in their habits. For centuries, in
deed as long as we have record, each
species has kept in it's beaten ways;
insisting in the same average of tenn
perature and refusing to grow where
this could not be found; seeking and
occupying certain kinds of soil and
demanding certain amounts of moist
ure and avoiding situations where
these were wanting.
The latest authorities 60 so far
as to declare that trees a not be
acclimatized; that is, that even the
integrity and perseverance of man
are unable to induce trees to change
their habits far enough to adopt a
country not closely like their native
habitat. For a time the forester may
use various devices to surround a
tree with artificial conditions, which,
SO to speak, the tree is deluded in
to feeling at home. But as soon as
the forester's ARE is withdrawn in
such cases the tree is seized with
homesicknesses and dies of it.

Display of Faith.

Not in a great many years have
two railroads given such an unex-
ampled display of faith in a new
country as the Milwaukee and North
Western in building through a coun-
try that practically was uninhabi-
ted, and with the reputation of being
only a grazing country, and their
faith will be returned in a manner
that will bring them rich returns
in the way of grain and stock ship,
ments, while both sides of the state
will feel the impetus of development
to a large degree. South Dakota is
a young state and the future that
lies before it is something beyond
human calculation. The state is
receiving the attention of men Of
means and that investments will
grow heavier with the passing years
there is no question.-Mitchell Re
