Two New Inspectors.

Verlnilllon, July ls.-The State
Food and Drug Commissioner has
appointed two new inspectors,
who have just begun their duties.
John p. Schall, druggist OF
fourteen years practical expert
ence in drug store in South Da-
kota, will devote his time to the
inspection of drugs. 1t is expect
ed that every drug store in the
state Of South Dakota will be- in
spected before the close Of the
year. Mr.. Schall's qualifications
peculiarly fit him for the work.
He is giving good satisfaction
both to the department and the
druggists. The department be-
gan the fisacl year, July 1st, by
prosecuting a druggist, who was
fined $500 for selling drugs
which We're not up to the stand
ard required by law. The COM
missioner had previously warned
him that he should remove old,
deteriorated goods from his shell
YES, which he failed to do.
Frank Sherwood is acting as
food Inspector. He will spend
his time Gambling eggs and look
ing after the net weight law,
which went into effect July LIST.
Grocers who sell goods in pack
age form which do not show the
net weight will be recommended
for prosecution. Mr.. Sherwood
will also give attention to linseed
oil, soft drinks, butcher shops,
vinegar and various other food
products.

"0ut of Respect. %

The number of deaths in the
present congress has been some
thing terrific. In the official re-
cord Of each death it appears that
both houses of congress adjourn
upon hearing of the demise of
one Of their members, "as mark
OF respect to the deceased" One
might sometimes think that con-
gress was losing lot of time in
all of these adjournments, but as
matter of fact, although the
members may have known for
many hours that their colleague
had passed away, these ) resolu-
tlons are usually very carefully
kept under cover until the day s
work is finished, and an adjourn
pent out of respect is often the
last business of a hard days
work.

Will Test the Law.

at Milbank and show cause why
they refused to grant the said
Maly a license to sell Intoxicating
liquors within the corporate limits
of the city of Wilmot. The at
torneys submitted their argument
before the court, yesterday, but
the outcome of the case is still in
doubt as, we go to press.
The law giving the county com
nlissioners authority to refuse to
grant license, even after the vo-
ters of a municipality have de-
clared in favor Of license, may
or may not be constitutional, but.
as the law now stands, the gen
eral opinion is that the commits
sioners acted entirely within their
province when they turned down
both the Ortley and Wilmot ap-
pllcations. However, the courts
will probably decide the matter,
irrespective of local opinion.

The country where Rollo settled
has since been known as Nor

to be almost equal to that of Rob-

consequences.
Recently Mr.. Zackarias fenced
portion of his land, which had
long been used as road, thus
necessitating travellers going to
Browns Valley from this direc-
tion following the section line
which, by the way, was rather
rough before the necessary work
was put onto it. This, Mr.. Zac-
karias says, evidently caused the
party or parties some inconven-
ience, which they are attempting
to avenge by making repeated at
tacks on Mr.. Zackarias' personal
property.
The first injury was attempted
last Saturday afternoon when
the Zackarias boys discovered a
large portion of paris green in
the watering trough where Mr.
Zackarias' eight head of fine
work horses were in the habit Of

Also the several water holes
throughout the pasture had been

Chagrine'd at the failure OF
their attempt to poison the horses
the vandals sometime during
Tuesday night set fire to one of
Mr.. Zackarias' practically new
eight-foot binders, and the ma
chine was completely destroyed
before the fire was discovered.
Mr., zackarias says he is not
in position to lay the blame at
anyone's door. but it is safe to
assert that when he is, he will
spare no pains in assisting the
county in running the criminal

that the law is enforced to the

Loaning Money to Farmers.

The subject of farm loans is
commanding a good deal of at
tention in congress, and Represen-
tative Norris, of Nebraska, who
has been one Of the prime movers
in pressing the subject, is insis-
tent upon a cooperative credit
commission to give to farm loans
the same wide scope of investiga-
ton as has been given to CONNER
cial loans by the Monetary Com
mission. Mr.. Norris has thrown
a great deal of light upon the
system in vogue in Germany. and
where the Raiffeisen system,
worked out upon the line of co
operative credit associations
among the farmers, has been en-
inently successful. The first of
these associations, which bears
the name Of Herr Raiffeisen.
was created in 1890, and there
are now 6,777 of them doing busi
ness in the German Empire. The
plan is very similar to building
and loan association methods, and
it's members, who are re7farmers, as
sumo unlimited liability in the
loaning of their money to other
farmers.
