The. an promo court of South
Dakota has handed down a decis
ion which practically outlaws
nearly every saloon in the state.
The p)int at issue was the right
of a town board to grant a license
where there hsd been no affirma
tive vote was required every year
before a liceuso could be issued,
and in this ho has been affirmed
by the supreme court. This
mansthat there is not a leal
saloon in the sttte except in
towns when' licen.-.e was voted in
the election last spi lug. and it af
fects inn't of the towns of the
state.
Profanity is one of the worst
evils that the worldha to contend
with. What is more disgusting
than a vilo touguod wretch who
has uo regard whatever for the
language ho puts oat ? In the first
place it is a disgrace to the user
himself and there is nothing in it
at all. Shearing does riot help
anything, it only calls forth the
wrath of Gcd upon the soul of the
user and hurts him alone, no one
else. Some men think it is the
sign of a "man" t use large ad
jectives even in lain conversa
tion, let alone who i they become
indigoant. It is an erroneous
, u. night. Tr.o highest type of a
man is determined by his pure
language as well a i body, and. in
: 'ie close relation that he sustains
a his fellow man ind his Maker.
Proa' ity gains nothing at home,
in business, in sot ial life, in poli
tics, in the wovld. It losos uvery
i.h'mg ou the other hand self-respect,
esteem of men, the confl
dence and affection of women,
power for good, title of gentle
man, eternal life. Don't be guilty
of such a thing !

Tbe'Slpci School Bill.
There seend'to be a disposition
on the part of some rnn pie to try
to create a sentiment ugamst the
bill introduced by Jno. P. Sipes
for the relief of the over burden
ed school districts m the State.
Th.'v try to make it appear that
every district must levy at least
ten mills. The bill does not mean
anything of the kind and does not
say so. Where a district can pay
its salaries on a two mill tax or a
one mill tax, with the aid of the
State appropriation as it is now,
the new bill does not apply. The
object of the bill is to preclude
the necessity of going beyond 10
mills instead of to 13 mills in or
der to get the appropriation; and
that where 10 mills do not reach,
then the Stato makes good all the
shortage. The Ilarrisburg Pa
triot says ;
While the general effect of the
law passed two years ago, making
the minimum salary of school
teachers throughout the State
$35 per month, has been excel
lent, it appears that great hard
ship has been wrought in some
cases.
"It is said that there are cer
tain districts in the State where
the land is so unproductive and
so cheap that a 13 mill rate is nec
essary to raise the school tax
alone. In these sections the peo
ple are necessarily poor and mar
kets remote. The taxes they are
compelled to pay do ot come out
of any surplus, but are skimped
from the actual necessaries of
life.
"To remedy these conditions,
Representative John P. Sipes. of
Fulton county, has introduced in
the Legislature a bill fixing the
maximum of school tax ac ten
mills in the dollar and providing
that in districts where that rate
will not produce sufficient reve
nue to pay teachers $35 per month
the State ehall make up the deficiency.
"This seems to be a reasonable
measure and is said to have the
support of prominent men deeply
interested in tho common schools
of the State. If such a bill would
meet the constitutional provision
prohibiting the passage of local
or spocial laws, it would seem to
be a proper measure to enact."

lot holders of Union Cemetery on

Written for tlio Ncivi by I) ().
Whilst traveling through the
la d of niyrtu I, boy Iiko, was
building air castlos. I nervd a
man say he liked boys to build air
cas'les if they put foundations
under them. As it is the unture
of boys to sleep, I laid mo down
to sleep. I dreamed I was put
ting foundations under those nir
castles; so I got we a wife, a farm
and stock, and the necessaries
of life, and the best of all three
fine little children which Anna
and I appreciate very much. So
Anna aud I went with a hustle
aud bustle to get those lounda
tians built. But Anna would in
terrupt me now and thon by say
ing we ought to go to church, and
to this and that funeral really
she was sort o' good to the poor;
but I was so busy building found
ations I had no time for any thi:g
like that. Anna would say, "We
ought to sot a better example be
fore our children." I would tel'
her she could set the example.
Then she would say, "That is not
we." Then I would say, "1 have
not time to run to all theso things;
and besides, i think I am just as
good as ono hall of the church
members. 1 am honest, attend
to my own business, and 1 "
Buti jsttheu I iwokeand behold !
it. was a dream, Oh, how I wished
it was real; but like the sluggard
as the door on its hinges turn,
so 1 turned over- on my side to
think over the dream, and behold !
I wont to sleep, as boys do. As 1
slept, I dreaui jd another dream.
The work 1 had done in ray first
dream appeared very nice to the
eye; but. then I heard a small still
voice sayinjr, "Mick, Mick, there
is no spiritual work in all you
have done your treasures are nil
earthly and will perish ! Is it i -written
that where your treasure
is there your hi. art will bo also;
'Know ye not that by your actions
you are influencing your wife and
your children to lay up their
treasures whore rust doth cor
rupt and thieves break through
aD'l steal, and take away "II they
possess even their life. You say
say to this wife and to your ' il
dron the very life of the home
that it is not necessary to repent
aud believe on the Lord J jsus
Christ. Know yy tho parable of
the rich man this night thy soul
will be required .f tee, and it
was said of him ye had your good
things in this life and Lazarus
his evil things. ' Then 1 cried out
"Oh is this death," and I awoke;
but did not wish this dream true.
