The Parkston people were not salts
lied with this action by the board of
county commissioners, and recently
served notice upon the members of
the board requiring them to appear
before the state supreme court, which
convenes on Jan. IA, and show cause
why a peremptory writ Of mandamus
should not be issued commanding
them as a board of county commits
sioners to provide suitable rooms for a
court room, jam and offices for the va
rious county officers at Parkston.
The people of Parkston base their
claim to the county seat on the ground
that the county seat was never legally
located at Olivet, and that therefore
Olivet is only the temporary county

NEW LAW WILL BE TESTED.
Lumber Company, Convicted in South
Dakota Of Discrimination, Appeals.

In its suit against the Central Lum-
Der company, in which violation Of
the anti-discrimination statute of two
years ago was charged, the state Sc
cured a judgment against the com
pany, and a fine was imposed. The
company appealed. and the question
will soon be before the supreme court
Tor the purpose of testing the consti-
tutionality of that law. If the SUI
preme court sustains Judge Boucher
Of the lower court and holds the law

hibited from continuing business in
South Dakota.
The attorney general has ruled that
it will be in violation of the anti-dis-

than it would charge any individual

Der contained in the book.

A TRYING EXPERIENCE.
Overcome by Fumes Of Morphine, j.

SNCTCOIVC pJ VuVHCS VI "otPHfUC ~
r. Jones Has Runaway.
John r. Jones of Springfield, rural
mail carrier on No. 3, had an acct
dent last Monday morning that came
very near resulting seriously. 1t
seems that some one had sent a bot
tie OF chloroform through the mail,
Of which 0e knew nothing. Before he
had travelled far this bottle must have
broken or become uncorked in some
way. 1t was a cold day and Jones
had his buggy cab closed tightly. He
says hat as he rode along he noticed
feeling a little drowsy, and the next
thing he knew he was lying on the
ground and the team had run away
and smashed things up generally 1t
must have been that he had been
overcome by the fumes. the lines fall
ing loose, the team, v very trust
worthy, ran away thus throwing him
to the ground, where the cold, brac-
ing air presently brought him to con-
sciousness again. 1t would seem that
he ought to be able to collect dam
as it is against the law to send
such material through the mails.

capital, which can be moved on a ma.
jority vote. Parkston received a ma.
jority of the votes cast at the election
last November, and because Of this
the residents claim their town is law.
fully entitled to the county seat.
The people of Olivet ridicule this
claim. declaring that the county seat
was permanently located at their
town, and express confidence that the
state supreme court will fail to sus-
tain the contentious of the people of
Parkston and thus hold that Olivet is
the legal and permanent county seat
Of the county, and that it cannot be
d~ispossessed Of the prize except by
a two-thirds vote.
The s. is expected to come up for
argument before the state supreme
court Don after that tribunal con-
n this week.

outcome of a suit which was recently
instituted in the state supreme court
by the Commercial club of Parkston.
and which involves the location of the
county seat Of Hutchinson county.
which since early days has been at
Olivet.
At the election last November
Parkston was a candidate for county
seat honors and e%ndeavored to capture
the county seat from Olivet, but when
the vote was canvassed by the board
OF county commissioners, acting as a
~canvassing board, they declared that
Parkston had failed to secure the
votes Of the necessary two-thirds
which is necessary under South Da-
kota statutes, in order to take the
county seat from a town designated
as h permanent county seat.

GIRL BABIES HARD TO GET.

There's a baby famine in this state.
A lady went from Miller to an orphan
asylum in Sioux Falls after a girl ba-
by. intending Of course to bring n
back with her, but she was told by
the superintendent of the institution
that there were twenty applications
ahead Of her for girl babies, and that
she would have to take her turn, with
40 immediate prospect Of getting one,
as they we're becoming scarcer every
year. She was offered her choice Of
boy babies, but she did not bid for
one OF these. Other childless families
in this part of the state would like
to get girl babies to adopt. but car
find none.

They now have become patrons of
Kelley institutes. A few days g sew
eral Sisseton Sioux Indians departed
for these drunk-cure institutions,
where they will endeavor to rid them
selves of the drink habit. So far as
known they are the first Indians in the
Northwest to take the Kelley cure.
The drinking of liquor has played ha-
voc with many of the Sisseton Sioux,
so those who have regard for the well
fare of these Indians will re pleased
to know they have come to realize
their condition, and by becoming in
mates Of Kelley institutes are making
efforts to improve their moral condi-
ton and rid themselves of the drink
habit, which has ruined many of their
tribesmen.

Notwithstanding his claim, made
last September, of having been rob

legged had been taken from the safe
in his store, J. G. Cantonwine, for
merly engaged in the general NOR

purpose Of misleading and defrauding
his creditors.
Cantonwine had liabilities exceed.

PRINCIPLE INVOLVED,
Senator Favors the Return Of Money
Secured From North Carolina.

SeCuTeo FROM NORM Carolina.
Senator Dillon feels that he has a
show OF winning out on his bill this
year for returning to North Carolina
the money secured through suit on
the Shaffer bonds several years z
He takes the position that the state
should either return the money and
have clean skirts ON that issue, or
else join hands with the New York
pirates" and go after all In sight In
the North Carolina bond proposition.
He is loaded on the subject and
promises the people something hot on
the proposition when 1t comes up as
a special order. Last session his bill
got into the hands Of the appropria-
lion committee and did not meet
treatment which suited the intro
iucer. This session he headed off
such action by moving that it go into
the committee Of the whole as soon
as it came up, and has 1t out for dis
cussion at an early date.
In the same line the North Caro-
Ina B~ondholders' association" of New
York. headed by John G. Carlisle and
composed of a number Of men, of
whom ex-senator Pettigrew is alleged
10 be one, has sent to Gov. Vesey a
letter. copies Of which they have also
given TO the press, In which there is
a overt threat that unless South Da
kota accepts another lot Of their hold
ings the credit of the state and coun-
ties within il will suffer. They point
out the present financial condition
Of the state treasury and the way to
~replenish the state strong o
through their munificence.
The letter also asserts that or &C
count of the treasury running be-
hind as 1t has the past two years the
credit Of the state has suffered in the
East, and that securities of counties
Of the state are suspected in the
Eastern market, as they fear that II
South Dakota refuses to show its will
lngness in the present circumstances
investors will take 1t as an indorse-
ment of the North Carolina policy OF
reputation. The letter is signed by
e. +. Carpenter, and is evidently in
tended to play upon some OF h
members of the Legislature for a pur-
pose.

kota. or these eighty-nine are ma
tional. while 426 are doing business
under the supervision of the state.
The last official reports made by the
five banks in Sioux Falls show they
have aggregate deposits of nearly
900. It is safe to say that no
other city of its size in the country
o frich mining regions where
heavy deposits are carried by mining
companies-has so large a per capita
bank deposit as Sioux Falls.

themselves the task of providing the
necessary funds for the construction
of a public school building and the

remainder of the mount needed will
be raised by giving other dances and
entertainments. Van Metre is one of

AsLAZE; GETS INTO TUE.

Woman Is Frightfully Burned but
Saves Her Life.
Mrs. Charles A. Pace Of Watertown
was frightfully burned. Standing
with her back tt the heater while
wrapping up the children for school
her apron strings caught fire and soon
the whole back Of her dress was
ablaze.
Beating the fire with her hands un-
til they were burned to a blister, in
frenzy of pain she tried to get out
doors, but her hands were so badly
burned that she could not turn the
doorknob, which fact doubtless saved
her life.
She finally thought OF the bath tub,
and climbing in turned on the water,
which at once quenched the fire.
The children summoned help and
the lady was soon made as comforta-
BILE as possible, and it is thought that
the burns will not prove fatal.

that plea Of guilty is the shortest
way out of the trouble without re-
gard 10 the guilt or innocence of
such parties. In short it appears that
the justices office at Ennis is at
present run too much as a collect
ing agency to get fees, rather than
to secure the ends of Justice.
We find that special" deputy
sheriffs in some instances have
abused their authority; and We rec
ommend that if such deputies are
necessary at all, citizens of integrity
and probity be appointed to such
places.
We have found in the drouth
stricken section of our county where
no crops were growing, it seems by
common consent, much stock has
been permitted to run at large; also
because of the excessive drouth
causing water in running streams to
get low and in many instances to dry

violation of the fishing law by par

| We believe that the conduct of our
citizens was influenced more by the
thought of taking what appeared
doomed to waste rather than by a
spirit TO defy the law

the future our people take cogniz-
ance of this law and that it be en-
| forced.
