PIERRE NEED No PAY CAPITOL
FIGHT EXPENSES.

Pierre, Feb. ia ease in which
John A. Weeks, candidate for presi-
dent; Congressman Guernsey, of
Maine. and Coe /. Crawford. former
senator from this state. We're inter
ested, has just been decided by Judge
Elliott, of the United States court, i'm
favor OF the city. The case was a
suit on old capital warrants" issued
i'm 1890, ut the time of the fight for
location of the permanent capital OF
South Dakota.
City Attorney Goldsmith has been
notified that the court has sustained
his contention on two different de-
lenses put up by the city, one that
the constitutional limit of indebted
ness had been exceeded; and the
other that the warrants had been is
sued for an illegal purpose.
The issue of $4,000 was made to
Coe /. Crawford for public improve
ments" and used in the capital fight.
They got into the hands of Hornblow-
er and Weeks, and suit against the
city has been pending for some time,
one of the attorneys for the eastern
firm being Congressman Guernsey, of
Maine. The total amount involved,
with interest, had reached about
$4,000.

Pierre-The warm weather has
broken up Bad river and the upper
Cheyenne. and the water running in
to the Missouri has so softened the
ice on the main stream that the hack
service between here and Fort Pierre
has been discontinued
Pierre-The total of all funds in
the state treasury Oh February / was
$771,098, divided as follows: Gen.
eral fund. $165,834; game fund.
$60,341; Irvine fund, 1851. $40; agri-
cultural extension. $22,3S6.
Stratford-Word has just reached
here OF the accidental death at Pasa-
dena, Cal, of Perry Williams. nephew
of II. M. Carr, editor of the Stratford
News. Williams was born and raised
in Potter county, and about five
years ago his brother, then 30 years
of age. was drowned in Oregon where
he was attending school.
Watertown-An effort will be
made by the board of city commits
sioners of WATERFOWL to limit the
Dakota Central Telephone company
to a ten year franchise when the mat
ter ome up for settlement here.
This, the board feels, would be more
preferable than granting a twenty
year franchise, such as has been done
in the past.
Vermillion-Although an appro-
priation of $500 has been available
for the last three years for the pur-
chase of a site for a federal building
at this place. nothing has yet been
done. as the senator's from South Da-
kota are unable to agree on a loca.
ton. Attempts TO interest local par
ties In erecting a building and fur
nishing fixtures suitable for the post
office, for a t~en-year lease, have fail
ed, as the department reserves the
right to terminate such a lease at any
time.
Belle Fourche - The 640-acre
homestead bill which has passed the
house and lis now being considered by
the senate's committee on public
lands is creating a great deal of com
ment. Indications are that should il
become a law the state will see the
greatest influx of homestead home
seekers Ii has ever witnessed. With
this class of people the bill Is very
popular, but 1t Is meeting some op-
position from the large stock owners
who are now leasing a great deal Of
the land which would be taken up
under this act. Congressman Candy,
of South Dakota, has amended the
bill, giving the homesteader the right
TO apply by petition for designation,
and also granting the right OF those
who have proved up and have no
open land adjoining their homesteads
TO take other land anywhere within
twenty miles of his said homestead.

tanned that Symms, on the day fol-
lowing the robbery, had given a wom-
an friend a small roll of bills.

third degree, and. with the story told
by the woman to use as ammunition

finally induced Symms to make a full

During his long business career i'm this
city he went TO the p~ostofice just once.

Middletown went below the postofice

Parsons was ablebodied and n normal

He often laughed and said that he

son, Bert, who usually had a pleasant
twinkle lurking about the eyes, would
look up at the old man when some one

in down TO the postoffice today, pop?"
But that journey to the postofice was
taken only once. and why he went then
Mr.. Parsons never could tell.
He simply wasn't interested in what
the rest OF the world was doing. When
the west side trolley was built Bert
said. "Now's your chance, pop, TO hop
on the trolley and get a look at the
college buildings"

would have TO be absent from his bust

But he never tried It any day. Mr..
Parsons never saw Wesleyan college
nor the state hospital nor Main street

In Middletown he was ever on were
Main and Grand and Clinton and RIA
PABLO avenues. And yet he was a sue
cessful business man and walked back
and forth from his house on Clinton
avenue to his store on Main street
every business day in the year. Try
as he would his son Bert could not
bulge the old man. He didn't care
what the rest of the world was doing.
He was not n traveler-and that end
