travelling preacher, Teter, was be-

Morris G. Mum presiding, in the
absence OF Judge Cox, who was COM

meeting of the school board.
Jolly was represented by T.. T..
Shellhamer, who made an argument.
which was probably very good, eX-
cept that it did not bear on the real
point involved. The evidence against
Jolly being conclusive that he had
wilfully and knowingly violated the
ordinance, the court imposed me
OF $40 and costs, or thirty days in
Jail.
The court, however, proposed to
Jolly that if he would promise to re-
frain from breaking the laws OF the
city the fine and costs would be sls'
pended and he could go forth free
and unpunished. jolly refused to
make any such promise, and, his fine
not being forthcoming, he was re-
turned to jail.
The same offer was made Jas. {
Teter, who also refused to make an!
promise to be governed by the law:

subordination and utter contempt
for law and authority he remains II

While the present session is mere

scon to 80 out of existence and to
be superseded in political control
and policy after March 1, yet today,'s
sessions in the Senate and House
bring together for the first time
since the recent Overturning those
leaders and elements of the various
parties who have been most prOml-

faces and figures are again in evil
dence today, although some of them,
like ex-Speaker Cannon, will soon
pass off the congressional stage.
while others, like Speaker Clark
and Chairman Underwood have had
their tenures renewed and strength
ened.
As a whole, however, the dominant
note as both branches of C0ngrcs.;
assemble is that new conditions, new
policies and new men have been
ushered in as result of the recent

In the Senate, Vice President

Senate with about fifty votes as
against the present Democratic
strength of about forty-two, will
continue until March 4, although
this control is conditioned largel,
by the presence of two elements
regular and progressive, in the Re-
publican total of fifty. Senator
Hepburn, of Idaho, and Rayner, Of
Maryland, have died since the las'
session closed, but in other aspect!

NOW is PROPER TIME
TO CUT ALL WEEDS
SEEDING TINE APPROACHING
MAYOR HITCHCOCK ADVISES
ONE WEED CUT NOW PRE-.
VENTS MANY NEXT
YEAR.

Now is the time to cut the weeds.
In spite of the city ordinance we
find many of them as We walk about
the city. They are so as
to have become an eye-sore, but if
not cut and killed before they go to
seed, the crop next year win be many
times as large as it is now. The
streets of the city are remarkably
clean in this respect and nothing
makes a better impression on visit
ors than this absence OF weeds.
An occasional vacant lot, how
ever, is noticed in which the rag
weed, pig-weed and ever sun-flow-
ers are in full possession. Mayor
Hitchcock in speaking of the weed
question says:
EVERY citizen of Mitchell should
take an active interest in the looks
OF the city and the best way for each
to do this is to see that all weeds OF
and adjoining his own property be
cut. This should be attended to right
now. for they will be going to seed
almost before we know it. Be fan
to your neighbors as we'll as yourself
and cut the weeds at once."

is stated the line will be built to
some point in the Black Hills, and
that from the Black Hills a line will
be built northwestward, connecting
with the coast line at some point in
Montana. This would give Mitchell
an outlet to the coast. According to
