smoothest swindlers in the mining
game, has been sentenced to serve IF

Word TO this effect has just been re.
ceived here. DIR. Muggley was highly
educated. widely travelled and possessed
a m ost interesting personality which
made his many nefsrious scheme easy.
Some years ago he promoted d
smelter at Rapid City and induced
the citizens there to give him a par
latial home but about the time the
smelter failed to pan out properly,
Muggley sought more congenial sur

mining schemes here that seemed plaus-
ible and drew much attention finally
but his investors usually found that
their money had been placed illad.

STERLING WINS
On First Joint Ballot for United
States Senator

Pierre, Jan. %, 1880 p. M. Special
The legislature in first joint session at
noon today balloted on United States
senator with the result that Sterling re.
ceived 100 votes, and was declared
elected.
The three Lake coulty members,
Messrs. Bowel, Urdahl and Groce,
voted for Sterling both on separate and
joint ballot.
Pierre. Jan. % Following a night
of hard work by both sides, the first
clash between the Sterling and reac-
tionary forces was brought to a climax
yesterday when both branches of the
legislature gathered in their respective
houses to ba Hot for United States sena
tor. Both houses began routine work
at 10 O'Clock and the galleries were
we'll filled before the law makers were
in their places. A skirmish between
the two forces took place in the house
at 10:4O when Morris of Sphinx, floor
leader for the Sterling forces, moved
to proceed with the election of sens.
tor. Ziebach, democrat, opposed this
and his motion to take mp the matter
at the time originally set. was carried
by 40 to as vote. The early vote in
the house was decided by the Sterling
forces for the effect that its result
might have on the senate which was
classed as doubtful.
Promptly at 1880 O'Clock both hous-
es were called to order to take up the
election and the name Of Thomas Sterl-
ing was placed in nomination in the
house by Representative Heglin of Clay
county, Sterling's home.
He told of the high esteem in which
the nominee was held in bis home
county and related how the dean had
attained his present prominence in
the state and how he had been alfili.
ated in times past with such important
undertakings as the constitutional
convention and the founding of the
law department of the state univers
ity of which he was dean until he
resigned to enter the campaign for
the %senatorship. Following Heglin's
speech the democrats nominated E. S.
johnson as their candidate and the re
dictionaries put in nomination a mum
Der of men taking occasion to inform
the house that they were republicans
and that their ancestors had also been
members of that party. This, they
claim. gave them the right to read
Sterling out of the party. w. A.
Morris for ten years the law partner
of Sterling, then arose and seconded
his nomination, in a ringing speech
ca ling the republicans TO duty.

DRUG STORES, as well as other stores, exist for the
- public good. This fact is not always recognized by
those who conduct stores, and hence public interests are
made secondary to private interests. But the truth re-
mains that no store fully meets its obligations unless the
security OF the public is placed first, and this is especial
ly true of drug stores.
There is no doubt that when you have any item of
drugs to buy, or a prescription to be filled, that you
always want the best possible goods and service.

GARDENERS COMMENCE WORN
WARM WEATHER TUHN FANcIES
TO GROWING THINGS.
Dean Woods Asserts There Is Stuff
Client Moisture for Planting
Floods Unlikely.

st. Paul. = With the temperature
reaching 81 above zero Saturday and
Al above Sunday, ST. Paul has come
to the conclusion that spring is immi-
nent The weekly bulletin of the
weather bureau at Washington an
nounces that the temperature all week
will be nearly normal, with fair skies
prevailing, so that real taste of early
springtime may be in store for Mime
sofa.
The warmth of the last two days
has served to thaw out the seed cata-
logues from their shelves. and to cause
the farmers and amateur gardeners
fancies to lightly turn to thoughts of
spade and hoe.
Dean Woods of the college of agri-
culture came out with statement that
good crops He declared that with
a normal spring rainfall, there is moth
ing so far to indicate but that the
coming year would be productive of as
large crops in all lines, as last year.
while the snowfall OF the past win
ter is slightly below the average
said Dean Woods, there is sufficient
moisture in the soil, [ believe, to sus-
tain the crops through planting time.
If a normal amount of rain falls after
the ground has thawed and is in condi-
ton to receive it, see no reason to be-
lieve anything other than that we are
due to have another bumper crop year.
Of course, predictions at this time are
at best hazardous, but at present, I
fail to see anything but encouraging
signs in the outlook
The light snowfall has obviated the
danger of spring floods, according to
Lieutenant Colonel Charles l.. Potter,
United States engineer, and he be-
lieves that only an abnormal album
dance of rain within the next two or
three weeks can result in an overflow
of the rivers
Reports coming TO my Office indi-
cate that there has been but about
six inches of snow on the ground,
said Colonel Potter. This is equiva,
lent to but little over one-half inch
of rain, and this is not enough to have
any marked effect upon the water
level in the rivers. Our reservoirs are
very low now, and can take care of a
great amount of water, so that l be.
lieve that it would be possible, in case
of continued heavy rainfall, to con.
troll the water and prevent flooding on
the river"
w. G. Hoyt, district engineer of the
United States geological survey, also
said that conditions along the Mime,
sofa river were not such as to make a
food probable. There is too little
snow, he said, to have an alarming
effect upon the water level.
