train. 1t seems the gas bureau want
ed to lay pipes on all the streets of
the Land Company's property at one
time, even on the streets which have
never been opened. Mr.. Moreland had
notified the gas bureau that they could
lay pipes on Beacon ave. and 7th street
and the workmen were engaged in
digging the trench on the 7th by or
ders of DIR. Pounds and Mr.. Shines,
not having been consulted, ordered
the work stopped. Then they went
for Mr.. Moreland who told them to
lay their pipes on Beacon ave. The
Mayor coming on the scene told the
gas bureau to go any place" and lay
their pipes. Moreland began to grin
and Shines and Pounds got hot and
the Mayor left the bunch. Since then
the Land Company has given permits

please, sir, to lay pipes on the Syndi-
cate, and in few days the residents

THERE'S A RLASON

for everything, If we only look for it, The
palm of vehicle supremacy would not be
held by me unless there was reson for
it. People don't admire and buy certain
goods, and give repeat orders, unless they
have their reasons for doing so. If man
tells you that a certain mans carriages are
the best on the market you may depend
upon it that he has reason for saying
so. If the man is an honest man, and
knows what he is talking about, you would
naturally feel interested in his reasons
and that is exactly the point in my work.
Beautiful appearance, fine quality, elegance
In finish. Appealing to both your taste
and pocketbook. My terms are anything

The house and senate have both
passed the two cent rate bill as re-
ported by the conference commit
tee, and it is now up to the govern
or. The bill carries the emergency
clause, so it will go into effect as
soon as the governor approves it..
The bill provides penalties of both
fine and imprisonment, which ap-
ply both to the officials of the rail
roads and to the local agents for
accepting more than two cents per
mile for fares. Under the recent
decision of the supreme court in
the New York City gas case, it will
be necessary for the railroads to
obey the law and prove by actual
test that its provisions are confs-
catory before they will have grounds
for resisting the law.

The executive committee of the

citation held meeting at Mitchell
last Thursday evening after the
close of the meeting of the associa-

meeting and sale from Mitchell to
Brook.ngs. The association war.
organized at Mitchell, and the state
appropriated 5000 for the erection
Of sale pavilion. It was sup
posed that the meetings were per-
manently located at Mitchell, but
it appears that the bylaws give the
executive committee authority to
change it, and that without refer
ring the matter to the association
the committee has made the change.

In Spokane last week three Turks
dressed in the garb Of native priests
and soliciting contributions we're
arrested and driven from the city.
One of them was recognized as
Ella Anton, who was arrested and
convicted on charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses at
Marshall, Mich, last summer while
soliciting funds for a church in
Turkestan. We mention this be-
cause during the past month no
less three of these so-called Turk
ish priests have been soliciting
funds in Scotland, each armed with
a roll of credentials and sancti.
monius countenance. There are
regular boards thru which such
contributions may be made, with
no danger Of being imposed upon.

Sioux Indians this week were made
happy by the receipt of SD, 900
annuity from Uncle Sam. But
from now on they are out of it, as
this was the last annuity payment
to be made these Indians under the
treaty Of 1856. There will soon be
another payment of $275 each to
those of the Indians who wish to
receive it, to clean up and stop the
payment on the lands purchased
from them and thrown open for
settlement. 1t will be about the
last money to be paid these Indians
by the United States.

Gov. Vessey seems to be exercis-
ing his own independent judgment
in the making of appointments,
and in so doing is, we believe,
making some very good selections.
On the board of regents he has ap-
pointed T. w. Dwight of Sioux
Falls, and for the democratic mem
ber, A. e. Hitchcock of Mitchell.
By continuing to ignore the recon-
mendations of the patronage boards
and selecting men whom he per-
sonally knows to be fitted for the
positions the governor has an op-
portunity to strengthen himself in
the esteem of the general public.

vote of 98 to 8. This practically

commissioner was also defeated.

Nappears that P. T. Unruh Of
Dallas, formerly mayor and post
master Of Tyndall, has gotten him
self into trouble. From the press
reports it appears that under an
assumed name he has been acting
as agent for the Mennonite Mutual
Insurance Company, company
having headquarters at Mountain
Lake, MINI. The agency that he
represented was at Anoka, Neb.
After writing q number Of policies,
fires began to be numerous and
losses were paid to the amount of
over $4,000. The officers of the
company finally got suspicious and
got deputy U. s. Marshal Tracy
of Sioux City to Investigate the
matter. The result of the investi-
CATION was the arrest Of Mr.. I'm
ruh, and it seems that he is charged
with acting as agent for the COM
pany; issuing insurance policies to
fictitious persons and signing them
himself then reporting fire losses
and by acting as both adjuster and
secretary of the local branch of the
company, collecting the insurance.
Mr.. Unruh was taken to SO0 Falls
for preliminary hearing Tuesday,
and the Argus Leader states that
he was placed under bonds for ap-
pearancein the United States court
in Nebraska where the case will be
tried. AS the Mennonites are op-
posed to litigation, the charge a.
gainst him will probably be using
the U. s. mails for fraudulent pur-
poses.
