reading that book which the scientific

of the Book of Jehoachim?"

Creating a Great Condition.
A Chicago man tells about a little
event in his boyhood which seems to
have been a great force in his life.
One day he was playing around the
bench of a carpenter, and accidentally
broke the workman's rule.
Not being discovered, he quietly
showed the rule to an unnoticed posi-
ton and left the place.
But later he made a confidant of his
mother, and told her about 1t. She was
able to show him his error, and to get
him to purchase new rule for the
man. The boy had mother and she
had his confidence, and the man had a
new rule-nothing unusual In this.
Yet the man nearly half century
later thought it worth while to tell
about 1t.
When a vital start Is made in real
wisdom it Is more important every
year we look back upon it. We are
more and more grateful to the parents
and teachers who did some very little
thing which created some great condi-
ton.

The Gas Belt Expo.

The editor of this paper
and son Cole visited Pierre
this week and saw a sue
cessful and well attended
exposition.
The imported attractions
were grand, the agricul-
tural exhibit fine.
The immense new rail-
way bridge over the Mis-
souri, river will be ready
for trains by Oct. /.
Work on the mammoth
new depot, round houses,
etc, is going ahead.
The foundations of the
magnifcently planned state
capitol are laid and show
the beginning of an i'm
mense structure.
Sleeping under the sky
light of the Riverview hotel
a storm at midnight We'd
nesday was a quick awaken
er. The flashes of light
ming came into the top of
the hotel through the glass,
mixing with the scared
guests, the cracks Of thun-
der and the downpour of
the great raindrops on the
roof drowning the cries to
the landlord for help. This
free attraction lasted an
hour and all were glad when
it was over.
At Blunt the thunder of
the same storm was SO fierce
that it shook the headlight
out of an engine, delaying
the train 30 minutes.
A little about other mat
tiers and things seen in the
beautiful capital and at
Fort Pierre will be given
next week.

Circuit Court.

Judge Boucher opened
court here Tuesday.
The case of Chas. CANCER
near Rockham against Jake
Lyon for damage because
the latter allowed his artes-
ian we'll to overflow on
the formers land was de-
cided by the, jury in favor
of the plaintiff. The amount
awarded was $40 while the
sum sued for was $175. AS
any sum below $50 puts
the cost on the plaintiff, the
verdict in this case was
more a victory for the de-
PENDANT, as Mr.. Sanger had
to pay the costs and the $40
went only a little ways in
doing it.
The case against Fred
Cline charged with horse
stealing is on today and
will probably 60 to the jury
tonight.
The case of Mrs. Gather
inc Dring to recover money
loaned st. Lawrence many
years ago will probably be
heard Monday next as the
Judge desires to adjourn
court and go to Sully
county on Tuesday
Other cases on the calen-
der will have to go over the
term.
The sentencing or dispos-
al of the, cases of the three
boys held for burglary is
still pending.
