Rainbow at Noon.

People at home to dinner, returning
to work from south to north shortly
after noon Saturday of last week, saw a
brilliant rainbow almost due north of
tOWn-a, rare occurrence. The poets
write of the rainbow as "the mild arch
of promise on the evening sky" and as
chung on the shower that fronts the
golden west" but seldom, if ever, of the
one which eliminates the dark or spans
the icebergs Of the frozen north. No
one knows the elemental significance of
the event, if any, but a rainbow at any
hour of sun-lit rain should be accepted
as characterstically token of good.

The record of the homestead move

While this Is the movement at

New Law 10 Extravaqant.

The last legislative session passed a
printing bill which in one OF it's pro.
visions required all state officers and
boards to secur their printing by com
petitive bids. At the meeting of the
state printing commissioners last
week they decided after six months
trial of the new law that in many
cases the advertisements for bids on
small jobs of work cost as much as did
the work itself, and that the plan was
too expensive. They decided to "cut
it out" as unsatisfactory and expen-
sive. The advertisements for the
printing Of reports and other state
printing, outside Of stationery and
small jobs, Is being sent out, and the
bids will be opened on June 25.

TRADE WHOLE TOWN WITH ROAD
Former Largest Primary Cattle Mar
ket Of World Must Go.

The passing Of Evarts, for years re-
Earded as the largest primary cattle
market In the world, Is drawing near.
IN a few days the residents of that
own, at a special election, will decide
whether they shall abandon their
homes and accept a proposition from
the railroad which has caused the
present condition OF affairs. 1t will
cequire a two-thirds vote, but it is gen
orally understood that this will be
forthcoming.
When the Milwaukee railroad decid-
al to build its Pacific coast extension
it became necessary to secure a site
for a bridge across the Missouri river
II South Dakota. The soil at Evarts
was not suitable and the engineers
had to seek elsewhere. They finally
decided upon Mobridge, where the
/ ridge was built, and the main line of
the Milwaukee was extended from
Clenham to that town. cutting off EX-
arts completely. Then began an exc

ton. The Milwaukee built it's track
to Evarts and in the course of time
the town grew to some proportions.
Although on the frontier, it thrived
and became a great trading station.
As the terminus Of the Milwaukee it
became a cattle market for the vast
ranges west. Of the Missouri and soon
it leaped to the front as the greatest
Of al primary markets.
The Milwaukee railroad, in order to
abandon the track to Evarts, must Sc

The Commercial Bank of Shame
has published a report in which it
says that its losses through the swim
ding operations of the high tinan-
cier,' Liedholm, amount to 100000
own The bank has learned that
Liedholm was ap%prehended at Buenos
Ayres when trying to exchange Swed-
ish money. The officers found some
5000 crowns on his person and a re-
turn ticket to Sweden. He confessed
his crime at once. The government OF
Argentine has expressed it's willing
ness to deliver him to Swedish Off
GERS on certain conditions, and it is
quite certain he will soon be back in
his native country to answer tue
charges against him.
1t is believed that a large number
of SWedish-Alnericans will return to
their native country next summer.
Many have already ordered tickets
for transportation cross the Atlantic,
and ever so many inquiries as to the
price of small farms, worth from TO-
600 TO 10000 croWns, have been re-
ceived by the bureau in charge Of the
work of p~ersuading Swedish emf
grants to come home. The efforts OF
this bureau, about which | wrote sew
eral times last summer, seem to be
bearing fruit. AS will be remembered.
King Oscar, at the request of this bu-
reau. sent a touching appeal to his
former subjects in the United States
to return to "Moder Svea' and help
promote her prosperity.
The 25Oth anniversary of the Peace
of RoskilGe was duly celebrated
throughout Sweden last month. Flags
were unfurled, memorial services were
held in the churches, there were
grand Examinations and general fes-
tivity. In Stockholm the exercises
were especially notable and pompous.
They began early in the morning.
with services in the churches and the
general ringing of bells. At 10 o'clock
solemn services were held in the Rid
darholm church. whittier the remains
of King Carl X. had been removed
and where the royal family had been
assembled. The interior Of the edifice
had been decorated with shields. and
the names Of the battles in which
King Carl X. led his people to victory
were read to the great gathering.
King Gustaf placed a large laurel
wreath on the renowned monarch's
casket, and another wreath, sent down
from the riksdag, was placed by its
side.
At noon a large company proceeded
t the Northern museum. before
which stands a splendid statue of Carl
X. In this company were the mem
bers of the cabinet, the rilsdag, city
council of Stockholm. troops from the
Stockholm garrison and many other
notables. The king delivered a brief
patriotic address.
In the evening there were patriotic
concerts throughout he city and

Bad Term for Defendants,

Whether It is dut to the fact that
the plaintiffs have had unusually srong
cases, or to other reasons, cannot be
determined, but since the circuit court
term opened at Deadwood five weeks

cured a verdict in his favor. The jury
commenced with the criminal calen,
dar, convicting every n brought be,

the civil cases were reached, eight
trials have been had, and in each, with
the exception of one verdict. which

tentative of a drive of $50 miles
across country, or a trip of about 700
miles by way of Aberdeen. Huron and
Pierre, either of which will take him
about the same length of time. Of
course, before this immense county
becomes as thickly populated as the
southeastern part of the state it will
be cut into smaller counties, but
with a less dense population it would
contain as many people as now COM
prise o%ne-fourth Of the population of
the state.
The lands in this county reserved
for public school, state building and
endowment lands, with forest reserve
lands amount to, in round numbers,
100000 acres. or enough to make a
county larger than several of the
counties in the eastern part of the
state. OF this 100000 acres are com
mon school, 10000 acres public build
ing and endowment, and 10000 acres
forest reserve. Were these all grouped
yer the county, they would make
a good county Of their own.
