There are almost 200 cases, most if them
not important, but others decidedly so.
Most Of them affect men who have been

TO RERurLp SYSTEM

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany has in contemplation the reconstruc-
tion of its lines throughout the State. As
the result of a'disagreement between the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the
telegraph company several years ago, the
lines of the latter company were removed
from the railroad property and the Postal
Telegraph Company given authority to
establish its wires parallel with the rail-
road property.
Since that time the Western Union has
had an inadequate Peninsula system, and
it was with the object of improving this
that the telegraph company applied to
Levy Court Tuesday morning for per-
mission to erect poles and string wires
throughout the State. OF course the
New Castle County Court-conld give per-
mission to do the work in this county
alone, and this permission was given.
The franchise granted will enable the
company to plant poles on many Of the
principal roads Of the county in manner
not to obstrnct use Of the highways, and
under supervision Of the Levy Court.

Army of Workman at Work
on Interior of New Harney

Twenty or more men repre-
senting carpenters, painters,
frescoers, plasterers and plum
bers are busy on the interior of
the New Harney Hotel. AS
fast as the rooms are made
ready, new furnishings includ-
ing costly carpeting will be put
in and it is proposed by Man
ager Pascoe to rush the work
so as to have the entire house
reftted and refurnished and
ready for business against
March Is. The new room fur
nishings make up a Shipment
of nearly two car loads which
altogether means an outlay of
around $4,000. This inside
work in the Harney means en-
ployment to many of the me-
chanics of the city who would
otherwise have been idle during
the cold weather.

turned this week from a weeks
stay in Chamberlain, where he
visited with his family and
friends in that city. Mr.. Taylor
reports everything over there as

should be q sufficient RECON-
mendation to the general pub
lie to do business intelligently
along these lines.

The Passing of a Soldier.

Yesterday occurred the fun
eral of Jerry Nowlen an old
soldier resident Of this city.
This old veteran of two wars
was in his 80th year and had
been i'll for some months past
as a result of a general decline
in health. He was one of the
Oldest members of Harney
Post No. %, which organiza-
tion conducted the burial SER
vice. Mr.. Nowlen was a
hero of both the Mexican war
and the war of the rebellion
having served in the latter from
'61 to '65. Everybody in Rapid
City knew Jerry Nowlen and
mono knew of this old veteran
aught but good. An impress
sive scene was that before the
post headquarters on st. Joe
street yesterday. A goodly
group of his old comrades
gathered there, to do him the
last honors and as it were to
sound the last ''taps," and they
bore with them "old glory' al
half mast. So with the soft
February sunshine upon them
they escorted the remains o1

Contesting Land.

During the first two days of
the week at the land Office, Reg
lister Bennett and Receiver
Burke became and acted as
judges Of the United States
Court, in that they heard the
evidence in a land contest case
wherein there was a contest or
question as to whether a GER
tain tract Of land up in the hills
was agricultural or mineral
land. @. L. Gillis, was the
applicant for a patent on a
couple Of mining claims in the
Lead district, John Rova came
claiming that two-thirds Of the
ground is more valuable for
agricultural than for mineral
purposes, the depositiong taken
coved more than two hundred
pages Of typewritten matter.
Geo. B. Thompson appeared
for Gillis and Judge Moore took
care of the interests for Mr..
Rova. This is one Of the most
Important contest cases that has
come before the land Office for
years, in that it is a case under
the new law, and when a home
steader and a mineral claimant
comes to a showdown under the
laws Of the United States. Mr..
Rova homesteaded this land
upon which Gillis later located
mineral claims, and it IS up to
the Interior department to say
which has a prior or just right
under the new laws. After the
close Of the evidence Tuesday,
the case was taken under ad-
visement, and the decision will
be rendered later in strict OBJ
servance of the late law covering
the grounds for such action. It
is altogether complex along
those lines and out of this de-
cision will come precedent as
to further actions of a similar
character Of which there are
Thousands that will bob up in
the agricultural valleys Of the
Hills country.

WARM DISCUSSION AS TO
DISPOSAL OF SEWERAGE
RAPID VALLEY FARMERS IN GAME
Regular Business of the CONNER
cial Club Overshadowed
Last Night

Ihe city hall was crowded to
the doors last night, and stand
ing room was wanted, this,
however, was not by reason of
any sudden influx Of enthusiasm
having been hypodermacly in
jected into that organization,
but rather from the fact that
before this important tribunal
or bar Of business was to be
tried the case of the Rapid
Valley citizens VI Rapid City,
who urge that their drinking
water will be polluted by reason
of the dumping of the city
sewerage i mt o Rapid Greek.
The minutes of the previous
meeting was given a hearing
and all committees were recon-
mended to hold over another
week as against a final report.
The committee on the collection
of funds for the maintenance
of the club, however, were
given time to say that it had
secured a membership in the
club Of upwards Of 100 which
at $24 per year means a start
of $2,40O for the purpose of
advertising greater Rapid City.
Promply at the close of this
committees report the RHETORICAL
guns on the subject of sewage
were pulled off in quick success
sion. Authorities on the lively
baccili and the elusive microbe
with his tail curled over his
back, were produced in such
profusion, that there were men
present who began to "see
things" as that they never saw
before and who mentally re-
solved if they lived to never
touch water again in any form.
It was alleged by Mayor En-
rick that a sewage purification
plant would cost the city, $50,
900, which statement Frank
Bangs attorney for the valley
people demurred, insisting that
the plant could be built for
$5, 900, quoting as his authority
a magazine. The Mayor also
produced authoritive phamplets
on drainage. A. K. Gardner
insisted that the laws Of nature
made all streams act as sewer
age to cities and that it would
be economy for the city to buy
the residents Of the valley a
private tlltering apparatus. Mr..
Thoma, Mr.. Murphy and Mr..
Sanders, ranchmen, stoutly
championed their cause. Mr..
Buell. ended the discussion by
moving that a committee OF
five be appointed to further in
vestlgate the question and that
they be instructed to report at
the. next regular meeting. It is
understood today that a COM
mittee of three from that com.
mittee will 20 to Pierre tomor-
row for the purpose of opposing
proposed legislation upon the
subject Of discharging sewage
into non-navigable streams.

A deceitful and elusive prop

it is up and away and gone like

A Mr.. Charles Meyer, of Lake

from home in the breaks, cut
