The Aiken Dispensaries.

According to the report of the Aiken
county dispensary board, for the quar-
ter ending on Sept. 80, the county has
received in profits the sum of SIS, s,O51.-
IS. This sum was distributed by the
county board as follows: Town of
North Augusta, S3,16s.o7; town of
WAGNER, $274.4S; town of Sally,
s2s4.S7; city of Aiken, s2,279.s9; All

704.S1. The aggregate profits little
more than 5000, is for the quarter,
considered the dullest in the year for

it would appear that the dispensaries

How Wonderful Thou Art.

My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
By prostrate spirits, day and night,
necessarily adored.
Oh, how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears; ;
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
Yet I may love thee too, o Lord,
Almighty as thou art;
For thou hast stopped to ask of me
The love Of my poor heart.
No earthly father loves like thee,
No mother half 50 mild;
Bears and forbears, as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.

About Printing a Newspaper.

Editing newspaper is nice thing.
If we publish jokes, people say we
are rattle Drained. If we don't we are
fossils.
If we publish original matter they
say we don't give them enough selec-
tions. If we give them selections they
say we are too lazy to write.
If we don't 60 to church we are
heathens. If We g. y'o are hypocrites.
If we remain in the Office, We ought
to 60 out and hustle. If we 60 out,
then we wear old clothes they laugh
at US. If we wear good clothes they
say we have a pull.
Just as likely as not some one will
say we stole this from an exchange.

NEWSY STATE NOTES.

The Black Hills district convention
of the Epworth league closed at Sturgis

penitentiary for forgery committed in
Gregory county, has died at the peni.
Tertiary of consumption.
Anthrax has broken out among cattle

$4,000 insurance.
The grand jury at Watertown has
returned four true bills up to date, but
three Of them are being kept secret by
order of the court. They are believed
to be indictments against three gam
bling house keepers whose places were
raided this spring.
A rancher residing in Lyman county
has engaged in new industry, the fur
nishing Of live prairie dogs for eastern
markets. Prairie dogs are pest here,
but are in great demand in eastern
cities, as they can easily be tanned and
kept as pets. In two days the rancher
caught 200 of the little animals and
these now have been shipped to the east
in specially constructed cage.
AS the result of falling from man
ure spreader, Stewart, the four .year-old

explained by the unusual political stu

The rejection by the Milwaukee Rail-
road company of the site which had
been selected upon railroad ground in
Chamberlain by the Chamberlain
Wholesale company as site for the
company's new brick warehouse is taken
as confrmatory of the persistent rumor
that the railroad company intended to
put in steel bridge over the Missouri
river at this point to replace the present
trestle and draw-boat crossing.
A new venture in banking is the
organization of a bank to be located
upon what is yet Indian reservation.
This will be done at Lamro, in Trip
county, town which 10 located upon
an Indian allotment, and outside the
boundaries Of an organized county.
While the South Dakota bankers have
been pushing into new territory with
the advent Of the railroads west of the
river, this is the first move to get bank
ahead of white settlement. The insti-
tuition is to be known as the Bank of
Trip county and is capitalized at 90, 900.
The residents of the Missouri river
region in the southern part of the state
fear that Tod Mcpherson, a well known
resident of the region, has been the VIC
tim of foul play. MCPHERSON mys-
teriously disappeared several days ago,
and not the slightest trace of him can
be found. A number of searchers have
Just returned from an unsuccessful
search along the railroad line east and
west of Niobrara, Neb., on the west
side of the Missouri river. He left home
for the purpose Of crossing the Missouri
river to Niobrara to look after some
cattle. He was last seen in Niobrara.
Now that the construction of an cleo.
trio railroad between Brookings and
Sioux Falls appears to be certainty,
the residents Of this part of the state,
north of Brookings, have inaugurated a
movement for the organization of
stock company with the purpose Of con-
structing an electric railroad from the
foot of Big Stone lake southwark to
Brookings, where it is proposed to make
connections with the electric line to
Sioux Falls That such line would be
patronized by thousands of people is
certain. The proposed line from Big
Stone lake, which forms part Of the
boundary line between South Dakota
and Minnesota, to Brookings, would
pass through thickly settled region
which is among the richest and most
picturesque portions of South Dakota
and western Minnesota. The line
would strike and pass through such
towns as White Gary and Marietta and
Big Stone.

While the Lennon boosters are tour
ing Butte county with view of work
ing up division sentiment, the board of
trade of Belle Fourche does not mold
out any encouragement to the Lennon
people. The Belle Fourche representa-
tives, while announcing their belief in
the early division of the county, declare
their intention Of opposing any suoh
action, until the county has had little
more time to develop, and find just
what kind of division scheme would

Information from Charles Mix county
is to the effect that thousands Of peli-
cans are arriving at Lake Andes, fine
body of water in that county, and are
destroying the fish in the lake by thous.
ands. The water in the lake is shallow
and especially adapted to their method
Of fishing. 1t is probable that residents
in the vicinity Of the lake who enjoy the
fine fishing which the lake affords will
inaugurate warfare against the peli-
cans and do their best to annihilate
something is done it Is feared
the pelicans will deplete the lake of fish
in the course Of few years. The peli-
cans usually remain at the lake until
well into the month of June, when they
depart for their nesting grounds in the
north.
Because election judges in two wards
refused to allow women to vote at the
special election held here Tuesday to
determine whether the government Of
the Watertown schools shall be taken
from under the city's special charter
and an independent district organized
under the genera law, the women are
up in arms and may attempt to tost the
validity OF the election in court. In
the Second and Third wards the judges
held that it was school election and
that women might vote, but in the First
and Fourth wards the judges decided
adversely and then resorted to strata
gem to pacify the rejected. Instead of
