A new magazine devoted to the

The latest venture in the world

The contents are divided between
facts and fiction; under the former
heading are articles by Doane Robin
son called, South Dakota's Great
Gushers," and another on the In
dian situation by Mr.. Bailey. South
Dakota Affairs at Washington, forms
the subject of a discourse on events
at the national capital by Walter Ed

Good Cheer Which 1905 Offers.

Although less than half of the first
month of the year has expired, 1908
is telling a decidedly pleasing tale to
the business world. especially to that
of the United States. For the first
time in several months the Associ-
ated Banks of New York report a sur
plus. The margin above legal re-
quirements in their reserves was &c.
O0u,SO0 on Saturday, which will un-
doubtedly be much more, than doub-
led before the present week ends. "A
few weeks ago there was a deficit in
those banks of $53,0OO,OOO. The
Bank of France has just reduced its
discount rate, bringing 1t down to
3h per cent from the four per cent
mark at which it stood during the
recent scare. lhe Bank of England
is expected to make a like cut in its
rate this week, as a further conces-
sion to the improvement in the A.
nancial situation. That institution
reports the strongest reserve which
it has had for ten years past. Evil

ENTERTAIN AT THE MANSE.

Presbyterian Church Have a
Fiue ITEM.

Between forty and fifty members
and friends of the Presbyterian
Christian Endeavor society attended
an "at home in the manse last
Friday eve ming. The occasion was
one of the most enjoyable affairs oc-
curing recently in the city and ev-
eryone, big and little had a good
time.
Among the stunts provided as a
means of entertainment was an ad-
vertisement guessing contest. A
number of we'll known pictorial ad-
vertisements held up for public ap-
prevail, were displayed in conspicuous
places and the game was to see who
could figure out the largest number
of commodities represented. 1t
sounded easy at the start, but later
the fact developed ,nat young folks
evidently paid but little attention tc
the advertising. 1t was also noted
that the young ladies were far ahead
of the young men in picking out han
and soap advertisements.
The ancient but always new game
of charades next held the attention
followed by other forms of amuse
ment until the time for refreshments
arrived. The good things to eat
met with a summary execution ant

UNDESIRABLE RESIDENTS.

This city contains a certain ele-

dispense with, and the sooner the
day of their departure dawns the
better it will be for Rapid City. They

public making the dangerous in1u-
ences emanating from them doubly

However the ever tenor of their
rottenness was punctuated this week
with a couple of rows in one of the
resorts, causing them to appear in
the limelight for inspection by an al
together too negligent public.

G STAKE

Have you noticed any signs Of
somnolence on the part Of Rapid
City recently? If the heading of an
article that recently appeared in the
Deadwood Telegram is founded on
fact, we are all fast asleep down
here. Fortunately this was not the
opinion of the man who wrote the
article, but merely some news he
CLEANED from a local saloon keeper
who evidently felt a little more blue
than the situation warranted,
We wish the man from up the pike
had devoted a little of the space
taken UP by the scare head, TO tell
his subscribers what he really saw
and heard in Rapid City during his
stay within our gates. 1t would in
terest them to know that most of the
residents of this busting community
are not spending their time worry
ing over the chances Of arrest for
i%nfraction of the Sunday closing
laws nor are they indulging in any
daytime snoozes. There is too much
going on in this vicinity to permit
anything like that. The Telegram
reporter must have discovered that
one must be an early bird who gets
out O. mornings before the man
behind the saw gets into action and
the hammer starts to beating its
merry tattoo.
No, kind friend, we are neither
dead nor sleeping in these parts. Our
present occupation is keeping step
with the music Of the engine whistle
and the sawmill's hum, and already
the pace is quick time. Just keep
your eye on Rapid City from now on
and you won't observe many people
taking siestas around here.
we hope the eDadwood pencil
pusher can arrange to get down this
way more often in the future. There
are a lot Of interesting t hfngs
around town he ought to see which
should serve to thoroughly convince
I'm that the city with the brightest
future in all western South Dakota
is decidedly alive and wide awake.

was Is to csc, and as prices declined
fully that much the past two or three
days, the close is not materially diff
ferent from a week ago. In general
the outlet for the killing stock has
been broad and there has been a
good, healthy undertone to the trade
throughout. Business in stockers
and feeders has been Of fair proper
lions, and prices have stiffened up
al. along the line, although the close
was rather weak than otherwise, and
quite a good many cattle were left
in spectators hands.
HOGS.
Supplies were tolerably liberal
again this week and indications are
that the January run will break all
PREVIOUS records. The demand has
held up remarkably we'll however.
and prices advanced steadily after
d weak opening on Monday. For
the past day or two the trend has
been lower again and the close is
not so very much different from a
week ago. Packers evidently want
the hogs around prevailing prices,
and there is a steady demand for
eastern shipping account showing a
broad outlet for the stuff. Nothing

holds prices down. All classes Of
buyers prefer the strong weights and
pay a premium for them, while I'M
derweight stuff is selling at a dis
count everywhere. For good hogs
O! all weights, however, the range OF
prices is rather narrow, as will be
seen from the range of prices and
average cost of the hogs for the past
week.
SHEEP.
With fairly liberal supplies Of
sheep and lambs ard a moderate de
r>and from all sources, the trade has
been rather Quies all week and the
trend of prices hes been lower, the
weeks decline amounting to IS q
25c for nearly everything. The re-
cent advance in prices had a ten
dency to shut off the demand to
some extent. and this reaction is
natural. Excessive receipts are
hardly possible at this time of the
year, and prospects are favorable for
Improvement in both demand and
prices next week.

THE RACE

From the day he first set foot on
American SOIL, the negro has fur
nished one of the most perplexing
problems confronting the people Of
this country. TO what extent he is
to receive the treatment accorded
the ordinary human being has long
heenAa matter of debate. Men Of US
ually' sound judgment often allow a
natural antipathy for the race to
enter.into and make practically val
itiless their opinions concerning the
grave question of the white mans
duties ttoahis less fortunate brother,
the black man.

er and .men4hmore wise, saner views
take the place. of the former radical
convictions and in the, Southland ex-
~pressions from its prominent citi-
azens tend. to show that broadening
influences are at work.
Illustrative of this fact is the adj
dress delivered In the interests of
Tuskogeep University by Colonel Hen
~ Watterson, at New York recently.
The keynote of the famous Kentuck-
ianfs speech was a plea for the ed

and egotistically declaring him a fit
subject for the abysses of ignorance.
That the negro can be educated
is patent, his progress since enter
ing this century is amvle proof of
that. What he needs is further op-
portunity to grow and it is up to
the folks with the lighter skin to
give him the chance as a matter of
necessity if 10. in the %obeyance of
