Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 11.-Emil An
derson, of Baltic, was assessed a fine
OF $25 for taking h witness stand in
the state circuit court in this city
while in an intoxicated condition. He
was summoned as a witness in the case
against Hans Sands, Of Baltic, who
was on trial on the charge of selling
liquor in violation of the provisions Of
the state iiquor license law. As soon
as he took the witness stand it was
noticeable that he was badly intoxi-
Gated and he was excused for the time
being. some hours later Judge Jones
had Anderson brought before him and
he assessed the fine stated on the
ground that Anderson was in contempt
OF court. The jury which tried Sands
returned a verdict Of guilty, and Judge

LIE BEAU INTERESTED
IN GAMBLE MEASURE

LIE Beau. S. D., Dec. 13.-Great inter-
est is displayed here in the Gamble bill
before the Senate, which provides for
the opening Of about 1000, 900 acres in
the Cheyenne reservation directly
across the river from this city. A sim
liar bill introduced at the last session
was reported favorably in the Senate,
but. It did not get to the House. It
provided for the establishment Of a
land office at LIE Beau. That this Office
should be established in LIE Beau is re-
garded as almost certain, for the rea-
son that it will prove a great convent
ence for the homesteaders who will file
in the coming spring in connection with
the recent reservation opening, as well
as for those who will file on land in
the new territory to be opened, which
Is Immediately adjacent to LIE Beau. It
y believed this view Of h matter will
be the one taken by the interior de-.
partment, which desires to make filings
as easy as possible for the new settlers.

arate the cattle the ice gave way. -Four

BY the time this paper goes to press
again new Board of Mayor and Alder
men will be elected. There are two
candidates announced for Mayor and
twelve candidates for Aldermen. Some
may differ, but we feel that we can rely
safely on the premises that in the event
of the election of either candidate for
Mayor or any six for Aldermen Union
City will have a board of good officers.
They are all business men who live
among us and are mutually interested
and concerned in our local affairs. 1t
is therefore safe to assume that the
board selected will not undertake to vio-
late the demands made upon them by
public veal or disturb the honor Of our

terests in the hands of those who are
chosen on the first day of January.

sold under the hammer Jan. 90. In

to be called We sincerely hope that
the stockholders will get together and
take some action toward selling stock or
raising fund with which to lift the
debt, and let the fair continue. If the
business men of Union City let this enter

lose part of their holdings for lack of an
effort to raise the money, it will certainly
not be to the best interest of the county.

There will be an effort made to pass
the parcels post bill during this session
of Congress- 1t is to be hoped that this
nernicious measure, striking at the roots
of a free government will never appear
on the statute books. If lit goes through
the heaviest blow that could be aimed
at the country merchant will be given
by Republican Congress. OF the two
evils the lesser by far would be the pos
tai savings bank affecting only the
country banks, while the parcels post
would affect the entire system of rural
industry. The idea of the Government
fostering the big smail-order houses at
the sacrifice of rural merchants and
rural business is indeed infamous. The
express companies are, naturally, Of
course, fighting the bill, but the railroad
companies would do the same thing if
it were not for the prospect of getting a
big contract price for handling the par
eel mail matter 1t seems that every
interest is selfish enough to forget the
general good Notwithstanding PreSi-
dent Taft is bent on both measures and
everything else, it seems to us, that is
undemocratic. The express companies
can hurt nobody, because if they gettoo
autocratic goods can be had quickly by
freight. But the parcels post we hope
never at all.

During the last few months the at
tention of the American people has been
aroused to the consideration of pure and
impure foods. This agitation has done
good, for with the abundance of good
food there is little excuse for using any
food which is harmful. The time has
come when the American family must
give better attention than in the past to
another matter-the choice between
good and bad reading. We have read
enough about wickedness in both public

criminal transaction; too much about
the evil and not enough about the good
