Judge McNu1ty Says no Ditch
A recent decision by Judge McNulty
anent the Newport ditch-the ditch
which was surveyed from Marshall
county down through a portion of Day
and Brown counties to Mud Creek.
The decision sustains opponents of
the ditch, overruling a demurrer to the
answer set up by the opponents. The
next step available is an appeal to the
supreme court.

What got Alexander the worse was the
marriage ceremony, he say: "Why /
was shaking like a leaf, hundred per

The following is the original poem
rendered by Mrs. c. w. Sigiinger:
She was blithe and debonair,
With wealth of blacklist hair,
And her waist, like Annie Laurie's
was but small,
And her eyes were full of light,
This bewitching little Wright
Do you wonder that they wooed
her, one and all.
He was gallant, Draw and gay.
He could pass the time o'day,
And he played the "B flat" in the
band.
With the long head of the Scot,
And love that wavered not,
Do you wonder that at last he won
her hand?
And they built little cot
Right upon this very spot;
Here, an altar, to the Heavenly
One they raised;
And a bit of heaven was theirs
Five and twenty fleeting years,
Loved by all and by their neighbors
praised.
Sons and daughters to them came.
Worn and weary blessed their name,
Wide their doors to all friends
freely flung,
In the church, twin pillars strong,
For the good and 'gainst the wrong,
Do you doubt that happiness round
them hung?
Still her hair is black as night,
Still her form is trim and light,
Still his speeches sparkle as of yore
And the friends of yesterday
Are the friends of the today
All they've kept and added many
more.

A Good Idea

L. G. Ochsenreiter and Atlas KNAPP
were here last evening in behalf of the
Webster Commercial Club to get ar
expression of our business men in
regard to having about $4,000 folders
printed to be distributed from the
South Dakota exhibit car which will
go through many states this fall. OF
course the object of issuing this folder
is to show what Day county has done
and is doing. The project seemed to

Balls Gve the Stock Market Another Big Boost
NEW YORK STOCKS MUCH HIGHER
e WITH SENTISrNT VERY
FAVORABLE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The bull leaders
decided on a campaign that would fur
ther increase the anxiety of the inter-
ested public to get into the market, as
a closing contribution to the markets s
action for the week. They got under
the list and boosted with a good will
and an altogether. They stopped bear
talk with their persistent reiterationS of
optimism, and advanced prices from the
opening to the close, and so strongly
that the full advance was practically
held, even the profit-taking on evening"
up of trades having no effect on the
temper of the market.
There was no news of a bullish char
acter in the gossip, except what was
furnished by commission houses and
brokers, who read the signs and sent
them out as bullish pointers over their
private wires. Customers rooms were
reported full of watchers, and many or
ders going over the counters. When the
creeping market begins to reach near
the zenith the public looks in and nib
bIes, then a little further advance will
draw in their orders and give the early
birds who have been accommodating for
days an opportunity to shift part of
their burdens and clean up at good
profit.
There doesn't seem to be any extreme
" important reason for this boom, for
the higher prices of the last week.

manner.
The saloons that they have stuck
up were riddIed with bullets by the
men, who escaped before police re-
serves could reach the scene. As
result of all the holdups. however, the
