H.S.C.

LAVEBNE LOCALS. Farmers are mostly through with seed­

ing and are now engaged in preparing soil and planting corn. L. P. Gould and T. B. Douglas have taken the lead, each having quite an acreage planted in time for the rains of the past week.

Lynn McCain began a two months term of school in the Piatt district No. 1 of Lone Tree township on Rapid Val­ley, Monday the 5th.

JMr. A1 Dunning, of Adatns county, Iowa, in company with his son Sherman, of Hermosa, this state, spent a few days during the past week visiting with his oldjlowa neigliborn, the McCain families. We understand" he took advantage of the excursion rates of the B. & M. rail­road to attend to business and visit this garden of the west. By the way, although Mr. D. is an Iowa man all through or professes to be, we think this country has consideable attraction for him and we predict that it is only the fact of his being the possessor of one of Iowa's choicest farms, well improved and stocked and • surrounded with the comforts of the average old settler that prevents him from coming to the Hills, and our surprise will not be very great if he should pull up stakes and come and be one of us in the near future.

The families who deserted their homes on account of the Indian scare may now be seen wending their way homeward.

Our young.folks enjoyed a pleasant evening at the house of C. 0. McCain on Thursday last at an old time carpet rag bee. They all report an enjoyable t ime but fail to report the weight of the mi; balls, we venture to place it below 100 pounds.

Charley Thompson is gaining in health and strength quite rapidly and we hope permanently.

Taylor Thompsbnj lylio recewea a painful injury a few weeks since at Moores saw mill and was brought home for repairs, is again on his feet.

A. J. McCain of this place in compny with Rev. Wilbur, of Rapid City, leave Rapid City on evening train Wednesday the seventh comrnissioneers to the Gen­eral Assembly which meets it Saratoga Springs, N. Y., May 15th. We anticipate for them a pleasant trip. Besides other pleasantries they take in the niagara Falls on the way. We understand that they also expect to spend some time in Chicago and other eastern points in hand shaking witli friends and acquaint­ances of ye olden times.

SPRING CREEK. Glen alliance met in regular session at

house of E. B. Reed May 2nd, there was large attendance. The meeting was

called to order by President Blair. After transacting some routine business, thirteen persons were recened into membership. The political situation was thoroughly discussed and a vote taken'on the proposition, "Shall the alliance take independent political ac­tion or try and work out tbe measures demanded by the farmers through the old political parties?" which resulted in

tie. Your humble servant then in­structed the members in the secret work of the order, after which the alliance pro­ceeded to the flection and installation of officers which resulted as follows: President, Frank Blair; vice president, Elyis Kirkpatrick; secretary, M. D. Sam-mis; treasurer, Wm. Waugli; chaplain, Mrs. Anderson; lecturer, Otto Anderson; steward, James Chapman; doorkeeper, Mr. Arnold; assistant doorkeeper, Mrs. Richardson.

PRAtr, Secretary*

ing and do better next time. The emis­saries of Satan are to be bound a,t last. The way'will surely be found in good time. The majorities for prohibition must be rolled up in such magnitudes, public opinion must be educated to such heights that a drunkard, yea a moderate (?) drinker shall be in aBill-odor •n a community as the murderer, the then, the disreputable. We must do as one prominent temperance leader said when asked what they were going to do about the failure in MasBa<..husuetts and Pennsylvania. "Do! Go back and try it over again, educate the people up to the idea." This accomplished weshould have temperance, law or no law.; Let us take courage in this trying time, re­membering every defeat has a lesson that well learned leads tcf after victories.

W. 0. Marble has sold his book and stationery business to Feltz Brothers, who recently arrived in this city fpotn, Lima, Ohio. The gentlemen are lortu-' nate in having securad a line of goods in which there is little competition and one' of the best locations in the city.

WORDS^FOR THE HOUR. While men ana woman tried and true

who have stood in the front rank of the battle 'gainst wide spread rum drinking and all its attendant evil, are asking

why must this be?" while the anti- pro­hibitionists are gleefully shaking hands and congratulating each other and while also the less open but equally sympa­thetic friend of the rum causn secretly speaks his mind, or an editor hastens to be the-first to publish anything that might prove the fallacy ol expecting prohibition in this decade at least. While I say all this by-play is going on, it does not follow the temperance ranks should lay down tbe sword and prepare to eat crow quietly, and forever after hold their peace. What shall we do? Why keep right at work, trust less to law and seek unceasingly to mould that great leveller, public opinion. 11 prohibition laws gain nothing more than the 'selling of liquor in.driginal packages' it will not be a dead letter. It is not now the time to recount the weak points in the law; we can all see where the enemy got in, it was a law passed by the minority, a law the people at large were not ready for and hence it could "but' prove inadequate. The mistake, it mistake it waa, was in goin£ too fast and inviting, yea. chal­lenging attack while tbe idea was yet young. But every state still retains the right to enact its own civil laws, to de­termine what shall be a crime within its borders and what shall be the penalty, providing of course certain statutes are not transgressed. Though it cannot say what a man shall drink or how much in the privacy of his own house, it has not yet been proven unconstitu­tional' for a common wealth to deal wjjbh such persons as shall appear in piiblip in pertaja conditions. No, all is not lost. , Au
