Mules and Kindness.

"In the fifteen years that l have
been connected with societies for the
prevention of cruelty to animals in
this and other cities l never have re-
ceived 4 complaint alleging cruelty to
a mule" said the humane looking
man. THAT immunity Of mules from
harsh treatment is an interesting ques-
ton. Why are they immune? There
are plenty Of mules. even in New
York. Does nobody beat them? Does
nobody underfeed them? If not, why
not? Does Il mule show such de-
cided ability for taking care of him
self that his owner is afraid to abuse
him. or do linen beat mules and escape
punishment because the persons who
witness the beating think it is only
mule and not worth botheriny about?
What is the explanation Of that phase
Of the mule question anyi!nw?'-New

completed and made permanent.
Realizing that SO long as lhe Tele-
gram is able to maintain itself and
give publicity there can be no return
TO former conditions, most strenuous
efforts are now being made to en-.
barass it financially and discredit its
editor throughout the state. False
statements as to editor Senns stand

which have been opposing the clean

now being forced to meet on short

thousands of doilars wholly. unex-

unexpected draft without assistance
will entail heavy sacrifice and serious
ly impair the resources upon which
dependence has been placed to con-

Having become cognizant of this
situation and believing that the Tee-
gram should now be offered assistance
in its time OF need, this appeal is
made to the people of South Dakota
to contribute to fund for it's support
that the means OF publicity be not
suppressed. The members of the Civic
Federation OF Deadwood have now
subscribed several hundreds of dollars
to be used for this purpose, and will
raise all that they can. But most of
the monied influences of this city are
on the other side, and outside help
is needed at once.

Inheritance since birth. has become a
natte. vi general knowledge and in
terast throughout the state, 1t is no
longer Deadwood fight only: it is a
| fight between the law and decency of
South Dakota on one side, and on the
other side the lawless indency which
has entrenched itself in this richest
and most beautiful section of the
state.
Slendid results have been achieved
through the force of public opinion
aroused by the press Of the state. led
by the Deadwood Daily Telegram,
The immoral dance halls have been
closed and u large number of unde-
sirable citizens have left the city.
But many yet remain and there is
much confidence among this class
that they will not be further molested
and that there can shortly be q re-
return to former conditions. While
certain powerful forces which have
opposed the cleaning up Of the city
are appearing to acquiesce therein, it
has become evident that it is in ap.
pearance only, while they are secret
ly making strenuous efforts to effect
results which will bring to naught
what has been accomplished. After
careful consideration in conference of
the executive committee of the Civic
Federation and others it is deemed
necessary to make this statement and
appeal.
What has been accomplished has
been largely through the publicity
given by tho Deadwood Daily Tele
gram. Despite the almost boycott on
it's business because of the powerful
financial interests upholding the law
less classes, causing loss of thous-
ands Of dollars this paper has held

that he has sufficient if they can be
