THE NEW DEADWOOD.

William e. Curtis, the distinguished
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, rencently made a visit to Dead
wood and from there contributed the
following to his paper:
Deadwood used to be the toughest
town in the world, and that not many
years ago, but today there is no more
orderly or civilized community in the
country, and the laws hat govern the
moral conduct of mankind are enforc-
ed here by a public sentiment that
would do credit to Massachusetts or
Maine. The noteriety of Deadwood as
a tough town extended from one end
of the world to the other and many
of the stories that are told of events
and incidents here in Wild Bills time
were true, although there is no grave
stone in the cemetery, as currently
reported, with this epitaph:

$4,000 to invest in an electric rail
road in Michigan. The attorney told
Municipal Judge Newcomer that Niles
invested only a small amount of the
sum and appropriated the remainder
to his personal use.
The arrest is a result of a railroad
purchase in which Lee and Niles
were interested. When the interurban
between Toledo and Ann Arbor went
into a receivers hands Niles induced
Lee to enter into a partnership with
him and secure a bill of sale. To
swing the deal it required a payment
of &c 5000 down and deferred pay
ments amounting to nearly $500
Later Mr.. Lee forwarded $4,000 to
Niles, which was to be used to get
the road in running order. Lee found
that the money had been misappropriat-
ed and no improvements made. Final
ly to protect himself and to save Niles
from arrest, Lee secured the bill Of
sale and Niles quit. This spring Niles
sought to prevent Lee from selling
out, alleging that he still held an in
terest in the road. Injunction pro-
ceedings were instituted, but before
arguments were heard it was agreed
that Niles should secure the bill Of
sale by reimbursing Lee to the full
amount of his expeditures. The brok-
er put up a bonus of $4,000 and was
given ten days to get the balance need
ed. Since then Niles has made no
move to take over the railroad, hence
Mr.. Lee no doubt concluded to wait
no longer and had a warrant for en-
bezzlement sworn out. Niles was
formerly a travelling salesman through
South Dakota and for years enjoyed
the confidence of Ex-Governor Lee.

CHOCOLATE AND EGG MILK

them very desirable for children's

a great deal of ridicule and will doubt
less be evaded as such specific laws
always are, but at the same time the
temperance people propose to use spot
ters fon th9purpose of securing its en-
forcement. AS it only went into effect
July /, there has been no opportunity
for a test.
Another law prohibits drinking on
railway trains. 1t has been custom
airy for ranchmen, miners and others
who come to town on business t buy
a bottle of whisky to take home with
them on the train, and, of course, they
passed it around among their friends
and fellow travellers in the smoking
cars, which were often the scenes of
disorder and ven murder. Under the
new law every conductor, brakeman
and other trainmen and every station
agent are appointed special constables
to enforce this law, and they are re-
CURED to arrest and deliver to the
magistrate at the nearest station
every man who pulls a bottle of
whisky on a train.
1t seem strange to find such laws
enforced in a town with the reputa-
ton of Deadwood, but the picturesque
and tough life of the West has al
ways belonged to the placer stage of
mining and as a town becomes more
valuable commercially and as mining
is reduced to an industry the camp
loses it's picturesqueness. Deadwood
has reached it's second stage. There
are no wild Bills" or Calamity
James" in the community today, for
they do not harmonic with paved
streets, brick school houses, stone
churches and electric plants.

A THE PARENTS.

A South Dakota newspaper tells
us about a number of young girls
from II to Is years of age, who visit
the railway station of their town or
stand about the lobby in the post
office, or walk up and down the
streets seeking to attract attention,
and get up a Irritation with some
stranger. The paper in question ad.
vises the parents to give their girls q
liberal use of the parental slipper,
and thinks that the case calls for
corporal punishment severe enough
to count. The Argus-Leader cannot
agree with his view. If there is any
body to be threshed, it should be the
parents. Fathers and mothers who
bring up young girls so that a taste
for flirting with strangers at depots
and in public places gives proof of a
neglect of the interests of their chill
dren which is little less than criminal.
If the young offenders in this case
cannot be made to see the folly of
their conduct by loving and friend
ly talk and by pointing out to them
the diaster to which it leads, it
should be very clear that physical
punishment would add nothing to
relieve the situation. No young girl
who has the right kind Of a mother
and who has enjoyed the proper kind
of home training will be found giving
worry in any such way. The home
should be the pleasantest place in the
world for a boy or girl, and when it
is made so by the parent, the young
people will stay there, and will be
glad to bring their friends to it. In
the case in question, spank the par
ents and not the young girls.-Argus-
Leader.

EDITORS AT SEATTLE.

Seattle dispatch says that South
Dakota editors are in that city with
both feet and many of them have all
the feet in the family with them.
National Editorial association. South
Dakota has the largest delegation, be-
ing represented by more than thirty
editors of different papers. Texas
follows and Pennsylvania comes
third.
According to the editors the at
tendance from South Dakota will
continue to increase with a large
delegation for August q, South Da-
kota day. The live stock show, be-
ginning September q and continuing
two weeks will attract many Da-
kotans, as it will be the finest ex-
hibit Of blooded stock that has eve
been brought together. This may be
better realized when it is known
that every prominent stock growers
association in the United States and
several in Canada have added mon
ey ard prizes to the exposition fund
of S63,500 for cash prizes for the
purpose of getting the best stock
there is in the country.
The South Dakota society of Seattle
is engaged with the editors in ar
ranging a progam which will fitting
ly celebrate the Coyote day at the
fair. Many of the 10 editors who
are going to Alaska will get back
in the city in time for South Dakota

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The wheat mar
ket was rather weak at the opening
today but rallied materially in the
first few minutes of trading owing
chiefly to a sharp bulge in corn prices,
The easy tone at the start was due to
a report given out by the Hungarian
Minister of Agriculture, which esti-
mated that exporting countries would
have nearly 0 .000, 900 bushels of wheat
in excess of the requirements of inn
porting countries. Opening quotations
were q to A@3s lower with December
at "a to 941s. The price soon rallied
to 946s on buying by Southwestern In
~terests.
Additional deterioration in the condi-
ton of the corn crop of Oklahoma
during August as indicated by the
State report caused decided strength
in the corr market early in the day.
December opened isMh to AaB high
er, at 56is TO 569s, and advanced c
571s@A.
Despite large deliveries on September
contracts the oats market was strong
early in the day. December opened a
shade TO sax higher at 81 to S71s, and
advanced to 311a.
Provisions were strong. Prices at the
start were a shade lower 10 20 higher
