PLEASANT PARTIES.
Mrs. Nicholson and Mr.. and Mrs. KnowItou
Entertain EpiscOpaIs.

Mrs. Nicholson and Mr.. and Mrs. KnOwlt0n
Entertain EpiscopaIs.
Mrs. M. 8. Nicholson entertained the
membership of st. Luke's Episcopal
church last Saturday evening in the
parlors Of the Hot Springs house. The
chief diversion Of the evening, and one
which furnished mental exercise az
we'll rs good entertainment, was spell
ing match. Mesdames Anderson and
kDowlton headed the respective sides
and many present tackled words which
they had not tried to spell since they
left the graded school many years ago.
Mrs. Carrier very capsbly handled the
role of pedagogue.
Refreshments OF escalloped oysters,
coffee, pickles and cake were served
when everyone had been "spelled down."
On the previous evening the younger
crowd, composing the Sunday school
of this church we're entertained at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Knowlton. The
'tots" went home at nine and the older
children stayed till ten, playing games
and singing.
Backward, turn backward, oh, time
in your flight, and give as maiden
dressed proper and right. We are 90
weary of switches and rats, Billy Burke
clusters and peach basket hats. Wads
of jute hair in horrible pile. stacked
on their heads to the height of mile.
Something is wrong with the maidens,
we fear, give ns the girls a. they use
to appear. Give Us the girlies We once
knew of yore, whose curls didn't come
from the hair dressing store. Maidens
who dressed with sensible view, and
just as dame nature intended them to.
Give US girl with her figure her own
and fashioned divinely by Nature alone.
Feminine styles getting aercer each
year, oh, give US the girls as they use
to appear. One of those twenty. five
years ago, kind. No wonder the men
of that day sighed and pined. One
whose fair tresses were enough, without
the addition Of make believe stuff.
Give us the days when the hats women
wore were not the reason Christian
men swore. Over our way such rare
maiden steer-yes, give 10 the girl q
she used to appear. r."-Ex.

state or community by regulating
commission is of comparatively recent
origin.
The first attempt by any state tc
place value upon all the railway
property within the confines of tina,
state was made by Michigan through
the tax commission in 1923, although
the state of Texas had made some in.
vestigation prior to that time, yet the
appraisal made in Michigan probably
was the first complete state wide ap.
praisal.
Wisconsin, in the opinion of Mr..
Witt and other able engineers, stands
today at the head in this work, the
engineering department by its work in
this connection providing valuable
material for both the tax commission
and the state board of railroad COM
missioners.
In Michigan the state forces did the
necessary field work aud prepared the
inventory. The railway companies
duplicated the work in checking the
states appraisal. In Wisconsin the
railway companies were asked to and
did prepare the inventory, which was
checked by the state engineering de.
partment and an appraisal made there
from. This method has been generally
followed in all state appraissls made
since that time.
The Minnesota board of railroad
commissioners made very complete
appraisal of the railway property in
that state in 1907. Several other
states, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Kansas, New Jersey and Massachusetts,
are at present engaged upon similar
work. and il the national congress
does not appropriate money to be used
by the interstate commerce commits
sion for making an appraisal of all the
railway property in the United States
in the near future, this work, 1t is be-
lieved. will be undertaken by nearly all
of the states which have not yet made
such appraisals, as it has been we'll
demonstrated and it is an important
and necessary factor in determining
many matters in the regulation of
public utilities.
The movement has grown to such an
extent that there now is little opposi.
tion on the part of any railway COM
pany. and some of the railroads now
maintain special valuation departments
and have prepared inventories and
appraisals of their property without
having been requested to do 40 by any
regulating board or other body, as they
realize the value to them in many ways
of such statistics.
During the past two years the Har.
riman lines have been engaged in pre-.
pairing most minute and accurate ap.
praisal of 10000 miles of their lines.

FIRST POLITICAL MEETING.
Author of the Richards Primary Bil vii
Speak Here Monday Evening.

Author OF the Richards Primary Bill Will
Speak Here Monday Evening.
r. o. Richards, of Huron, is touring
this side of the state in the interest of
good politics and his primary bill, and
Is to be in Hot Springs, Monday. He
will address the men and women Of
this community Monday evening at
Dearduff's opera house, opposite the
Union station and all are invited and
urged to attend.
The following from recent issue Of
the Aberdeen American expresses a
sentiment that is typical:
"Hon. r. o. Richards, of Huron, the
man who has given eight years study
and research on the subject of an
adequate primary system, delivered an
address at the court house Tuesday
evening to large audience of repre-
sentative citizens. The writer had
heard great deal about this man in
the last few years and had begun to
imagine that he wore horns anu was
tue oema&Ogue ne was pictured by
some of his enemies.
But we are pretty thoroughly of the
opinion now that they are wrong in
their estimate of the man. No man
could make the appeal he did Tuesday
night for the common people and he q
political shyster. No democrat could
60 farther in his advocacy Of the com
mon welfare of the lower strata Of
society.
Mr.. Richards claims to he repub.
lican. We care nothing for that. His
ideas are good enough for democrats
aud our party will make mistake II it
fails to line up for his new primary law
which is away and above the present
abortion. We will have more to say on
this important matter as time goes by

INDIANS AT RAPID.
Many Will Spend Winter at Rapid on Account
of Hard Times.

"a'y VIII SPeIIV winter al kappa on ACCOun
of Hard Times.
Considerable comment is being made
by persons who observe the large
number of Indians present in the city
and their tents pitched in the suburbs
Investigation shows that the Indians
who have brought their children to the
city for the purpose of entering them
in the United States Indian school
have decided to remain here durinp
the winter. This is rather unusual
and the reason assigned is not that
they desire to be near their children
but that they dare not 60 home to the
reservation, where starvation, as they
say, stsres them in the face. This etate
ment applies to Indians from the
Cherry Creek country, which is q par,
Of the Cheyenne River re s erva-
ton
The Indians say that If they must
ssarve they prefer that form of death
among people, where there is hope fol
something, to quick demise in the
lands provided for them by the govern.
ment.
The facts as cleaned from the Indians
is that their stock and horses are dead
or are dying for lack of feed, and that
their always meagre crops we're total
failure owing to last summers drought.
The Indians say that they are afraid
to go home and prefer to remain in
Rapid City where they exc out an ex-
istence by begging. selling bead work
and securing offal from the slaughter
houses.
Congressman Martin was asked what
could be done In this matter when
here LAST Saturday, and suggested that
the Business Mems Club get at the
exact facts in the case, submit them to
writing and he would present the
matter to the proper authorities in
Washington. Several citizens have OK.

A VERY DECISIVE VICTORY
OUTWEICnED MANY POUNDS To THE
man, THE GRITTY LOCALS SCORE
TWO TOUCnDOWNS.

Outweighed by many pounds to the
man, but entering the game with thai
do or die spirit, the local high schoo
football team took the las. game of the
season from the Chadron Normal team
Thanksgiving day at Athletic Field
Notwithstanding the fact that the biz
fellows from Nebraska had an idea and
even made remarks that they would
have some fun with the kids during the
afternoon, the tables we're turned and
the kids had some fun at their expense
1t was a good game, however. with
enough thrilling plays to keep the
crowd on edge at all times.
At about 3:l5 Chadron kicked off to
Hot Springs, the ball landing on the
twenty five yard line. Strouse was
tackled before he had an opportunity
Of returning the ball any distance.
Hot Springs started line buoking for
the purpose of feeling out the strength
of their opponents and made consis.
tent gains until within twenty yards of
the Chadron goal, when they lost the
ball on downs. Chadron punted out
to the middle of the field where the
ball remained for the rest of the period,
first in the possession of one side then
the other.
The second period found the locals
with the utmost confidence as to their
ability to score on the visitors and with
that end in view started to pull off a
few trick plays that completely puzzled
their opponents. A couple of forward
passes, fake kick and couple of line
smashes and Strouse went over for a
touchdown. Violin failed at kicking
goal. Score 5 to o.
After the usual rest between halves

made one of the most sensational runs
of the game, going down thru nearly

period ended Hot Springs secured their
second add last touchdown. They fail

The last period was repetition of the
first, in as much as old tactics were
pursued by both sides. Several for
ward passes netted good gains for both
sides at different times. The game end
ed with the call on Chadron's thirty
five yard line.
