$40 FOR A CIGARETTE
That IS What it Costs Under New
Law to Smoke Papers on
Streets.

In view Of the fact that the
new cigarette law is IN force
and for the further reason that
very few people are familiar
with the text Of the law, we
print the following brief ex-
tracts from the bill as passed
by the recent legislature: Sec
ton one provides that q heavy
penalty shall be imposed upon
any manufacturer who sells or
offers for sale in the state of
South Dakota any cigarette
that contains any substance
whatever foreign to tobacco.
Retailers are prohibited from
selling cigarettes to any minor,
and for violation of the law in
so doing shall be fined for the
first offense $25 and the fine is
to be doubled for each subse-
quent offense.
Another section provides
that any minor caught smok-
Ing cigarettes in any public
building, street. alley or in fact
any place outside Of his own
home, shall be fined in the sum
of $40 for the first offense, the
amount to be doubled for each
subsequent offense.
The attention Of parents and
school, teachers is called to this
new law, which was passed with
the emergency clause, was duly
signed by the governor and is
now in operation. .-Deadwood

own manuscripts or obtained
his ideas from Mrs. Eddy. Mrs.
Eddy when accused Of having
appropriated Quimby's theories
has always declared that her
system had not the slightest
similarity to his. Christian
Science heals by direct power
of god, precisely as did Jesus
himself. They regard mes
merism or hypnotism as the
supreme error; but the author
shows, by facsimile letters and
and other proofs that years ago
Mrs. Eddy denied that Quimby
healed by mesmerism, and
further claimed in a letter writ,
ten to the Portland Courier in
1862, that Quimby healed us
did Christ. Attention is also
called to Mrs. Eddy's early
statements that sh 9 was
Quimby's student and that she
taught the Quimby system.

In each room was roll Of brus-
sells carpet ready to be put
down, and along the halls were
stacked the rich carpeting that
is to be laid there.
"You can see," said Mr..
Pascoe, "that there is nothing
cheap in this inside furnishing
Of the Harney," as he kicked
open a roll of rich carpeting
that was made to fit the second
floor Railways. "You can say
in the Union that the refurnish-
ing of the Harvey meant a ship
ment from Chicago Of two car
loads of goods, and that when
we are ready for our opening
which will take place sometime
prior to the stockmeeting in
April, that the Harney will be
the best equipped hotel west or
north Of Omaha"
Gcing down into the old lob
by, there was a revelation. The
old Office desk had been moved
to the west end Of the lobby,
and the stairway leading down
had been repainted and guided,
and to the right was being fitted
up a ladies parlor and reception
room which although connect
ing and opening upon the gen
eral lobby will be reserved
exclusive for ladies'.
All the lobby floors are being
laid in blue-tint linoleum to
match the tint Of its wall, as is
also the floors and walls Of the
buffet, billiard and sample
rooms.
When the New Harvey Hotel
shall have been finished as to
its interior it will certainly be
the best hotel in western South
Dakota and fully up to the de-
mands of Greater Rapid City.

Opening for a Greenhouse Here

There is a splendid oppor-
tunity for some enterprising
market gardner and florist to
put. up an up-to-date green
house in Rapid City. One which
would supply the winter market
with all the early vegetables,
and flowers the year around.
AS it is now, the merchants
have to ship all their early truck
from Omaha and with the high
freight rates added makes it
very expensive for the consumer
and when anybody wants flow
ers for wedding and funerals
and kindred purposes they
either have to depend on some
kind neighbor, who, has a few
house plants, or send to out-of-
town houses, running a chance
OF not getting them on time.
Good irrigated land may be had
cheap here and with one of the
best water systems in Western
South Dakota a green house
would pay from the start.

MR. ". IT. PRICE TAKES OVER
THE MARSHALL BRICK AND
TILE WORKS
TO Be READY FOR ANY DEMAND
This Means a Great Factor In the
Up. Building of Greater Rapid
City.

A deal was consumated this
week by which V. I. Price, a
local capitalist and former lum-
herman becomes the sale owner
of the Marshall Brick Works.
Heretofore the output OF this
plant has, by reason OF an IN
sufficient capital to cope with
the local demand made uponit,
for quick-action orders, and this
in turn has retarded the advance
of contractors on hurry-up
work. 1t is to meet any emer-
gency that Mr.. Price is laying
plans for, and to that end an
entire new outfit of machinery
will be at once installed, which
at once will make the largest
and most extensive brick and
tile plants in Western South
Dakota. Everything about the
plant will be up to the latest
methods in every, and all de-
tails, so that it's products as
haretofore. will be the best in
the Hills, but it will be on tap
at any time TO: any and Il de-
mands that may be made upon
it.
Mr.. Guy Marshall Of the for
mer company will be retained
as superintendent Of the new
company, which will be known
as the Rapid City Brick and
Tile Works. The cost Of the
new plant including new ma
chinery is estimated at close
around $25O0O, which will mean
employ men mt to proba a b y
twenty-five men who will all
have to do with the growth of
Rapid City.
'Our company asks no bonus
or remittance Of taxes from the
city," said Mr.. Price to the
Union. We are standing alone
on our own capital and we are
amply supplied with that neces-
sary article, and are ready tc
furnish the brick for the quick
building up Of Greater Rapio
City, and also to supply the
general demand Of the Hills
territory.
