HURON SCORES POINT
In TELEPHONE CASE

Huron, S. D., July 1o.-A feeling of
satisfaction is manifest here over he
result of the case of the city of Huron
against the Dakota Central Telephone
company, heard before Judge Garland
in federal court at Sioux Falls a
few days since. In a letter to City
Attorney Mouser, Judge Garland says:
LAS the case of the city of Huron VS..
the Dakota Contra Telephone COM
pany has proceeded to judgment, the
same cannot be dismissed or its con-
%tinuance enjoined.
"This being all that was asked for
by the order to show cause issued in
the case of the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company VS.. the city Of Huron.
it results that the order must be dis
charged"
With this decision the authority has
been placed with the federal court and
the injunction of Judge Taylor will re-
main n force. The only relief that
the Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany might now hope to get would
be to appeal to the supreme court.

Harrisburg, S. D., July 10. y.
Jones, a pioneer farmer of this vi

of striving to propagate a new species
of corn. Himself and family departed
for California some time ago, but he
recently returned for the purpose OF
continuing his experiments with the
new species of corn. His mental con-
dition finally became so bad that
Sheriff Quein was notified and now has
taken him into custody. When the

very destitute circumstances. Jones
first settled at Hartford, S. D., in 1876

THE MILK INSPECTOR WITH US.
II MAY Be a Blow at The Creamery.

We are advised that a State inspec-
tor of dairy conditions is in our midst
examining the cows whose milk is be-
ING sent to our creamery, the manner
of keeping them, the care OF the
milk vessels. etc, and that in some
cases his report may be unfayorable
This is matter Of grave public mo-
ment, and we confess that the matter
has given US great concern. We do
not know that the farmers have been
advised as to the details of the law
bearing on the subject, and if this be
so they should not be taken unawares.
For years gone by we as people
have been using the butter made from
the milk of these cows, and with per-
feet impunity. 1t will not do to say
that the farmers out in the open
country places should be made to
comply with the regulations which
prevail in city cow barns, and be COM
PEELED to have concrete floors, well
washed walls and such like precau-
tons. Our COWS roam in the free and
open country, drink pure water from
springs and running branches, and II
they are MIXED in fence corners or
old time cowpens, what's the harm?
There is no objection to a scientific
inspector, but he should at the same
time be man of good common sense,
who will not be so unreasonable as to
demand that a farmer who has been
milking by moonlight should be re-
quired to substitute the electric glow.
Our creamery must live and we are
willing to trust the farmers who fur
nish the milk.

ties were well pleased with the out
look. 1t was our privilege to ride in
a buggy with Mr.. Coley Hamlet, who
though an od-time tobacco grower,
still takes lively interest in all matters
of public concern, having an especial
leaning towards public road improve
ment During the ride we discussed
the absorbing questions Of the day,
and concluded that we had ready So
lutiOns for all the vexed problems Of
the hour, but how to command the
ear Of the public still gives us concern.
We still insist upon it that Buck
ingham must meet us at the bridge
with a rock -bottomed greeting.

NEWS FROM THE NURSERY.
NOTWITHSTANDING The RAIN TIKI
WORK GOES ON.
Budding will Soon Begin and Alter
That the Selling.

Some two months since on one OF
our visits to the Green nursery plant
our attention was attracted to a plat
of ground thickly set in little twigs
which looked to our eyes as though
they were without life, but on last
Friday we found those sticks or twigs,
having been transplanted to broad
acres, growing into fine shape and
form. Peach and plum and cherry
side by side, a congenial family circle
of trees, throwing out their tiny
green banners to catch the life-giving
touches of sun and shower. Upon
these the budding process will soon
be brought to bear, and one year from
the coming fall the trees will be ready
for market, and just here we indulge
the sweet hope that out Of this tree
family the May cherry will grow by the
thousands to make glad the hearts OF
the children of men And with the
strong young trees transplanted to
orchards which will be well cared for
it may be that our peach buds will be
strong enough to resist the encroach-
ments of the early frosts, and that we
may have peaches with some degree
of regularity.
The ornamental trees also give ev-
idence Of vigorous life, the vines
flourish and the hedgerow products
are preparing for duty.
Mr. johnson, the manager called
our attention to the splendid growth
of the young trees, and added: l
simply prepared the land thoroughly
and well, planted them and they are
growing as you see without the use OF
any fertilizer 1t was gratifying TO
know that this experienced nursery
man is so well pleased with the soil Of
Virginia for the growing Of nursery
products.
Just here we take the liberty Of
asking that if you know of genuine
May cherry tree Of the early variety
you will be good enough to let Mr..
Johnston know of it. All Of us have
live interest in the success Of this
venture and will take pleasure in con-
tributingsto it as best we may.
We have regarded it from the Incl
piency as one of the most important
industries which has been recently
brought to us. and we are strength
ened in this belief as we watch its
growth.

Sunday In The Churches.

Last Sunday with us was well-nigh
a perfect day in June. Our churches
were all opened, and the regular pas
tors on duty, except that at the Pres
byterian Church, the Rev j. E. Book
er occupying the pulpit His sermon,
based on the three searching quail
ties, addressed by the Savior to Peter
being a helpful and impressive one.
Union services were held at the Bap-
tist Church, the pastor preached the
sermon. Rev DR.. Hatcher and Rev
Boogher assisted in the service. Mr..
Fugate read as his text a number of
passages from the word of God, the
same thought running through each
of them, and then with moral STAN
dards as subject, delivered as is his
wont, a strong, scriptual sermon to
the delight and uplift of those who
heard him.
The preacher tore into shreds the
prevailing, but misleading double
standard theory Of morals, one for
man, another for woman, one for the
pulpit, another for the pew The con-
clusion to which the sermon led was
that man and woman, preacher and
people should take Christ as the great
exemplar, and following close in his
footsteps, find the way to duty here,
and heaven hereafter. The choir
rendered sweet music, and the hour
of worship was one rich in privilege.
