LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. Dr. Smith, the Sturgis dentist, war rants all his work. C. C. Polk returned from Fremont yesterday. Do you want a good cigar I Call on Chase'at the Poet Office news stand. Bishop Marty of Yankton is in the city. Arnold & Meyer are selling more groceries than any other firm in this eity. Stock trains are getting thick. Font were on the line last Friday. John Schnell still continues to shave all customers at the same old stand. All that try him are assured of a clean, smooth shave. H. O. Anderson has bought out the hardware business of J. G. Wenke and hereafter will "go it" alone. R. D. Kelly, well known in this flec tion is now on the Fremont Flail. He is part owner of the journal. Justus Schnell likes to work hard and, his customers are so numerous, his likes are gratified. He is a 6haver and hair cutter from way-back and only charges the regulation price. The literary and musical entertain given at the Presbyterian church last Friday evening was well attended. George V. Ayres went down, the road Thursday to meet his wife who was coin ing from Chicago to her home in Dead wood. Tuesday was the hottest day of the year the thermometer registering 102 in the shade and on the north side of a building at that. The Black Hills delegates got away in uuue ojj Sunday. Their sleeper bore the inscripfioDr—»—ruiia del egation to republican convention. Moody, Mellette and Corson." H. G. Meyer, representing the Sioux City Journal, is in the city soliciting for his paper. As he represents the best paper in the west he is having no trouble in securing quite a list of names. Delegate Matthews did not oven car-v irj Iris own county for delegate to the state convention. He is undoubtedly done for in his race for the nomination for congress. The Commercial hotel still continues drawing a large patronage. Since the new management took charge of the hotel its reputation as a caravansary has rapidly gained ground. The proprietor lias spared no pains to make it the best iu the Hills and he has succeeded ad mirably. Transient and commercial travelers are especially looked after. Booms are airy, convenient and, better than all else, scrupulously clean. Mc Clain will take a back seat for no hotel in the Hills, as those who patronize him are ready to testify. Loucks, the shyster blatherskite at the head of the alliance, tried to go to his own county convention as a delegate from his precinct but got badly beaten. "A prophet is not without honor, etc." The grocery trade of Sturgis is a large per cent of the city's business, and a large per cent of that trade is done by Arnold & Meyer, the well known square dealing merchants. Their specialties are: the best possible grade of goods and the lowest prices. With this as their motto it is no wonder they monop olize the greater portion of the trade of this locality. Five hundred copies of this edition of the ADVEBTISEB were distributed yester day afternoon in the convention hall, at Huron, among the republican delegates from every section of this new state. In place of the local notes here appearing was published an elaborate' description of Sturgis and vicinity. John Q. Stevens, the rancher, has some of the finest apples we have ever seen in the west. He will have a fine crop of them. The fallacy that the Black Willn cannot raise fruit is being rapidly ex ploded. The great contest for leadership in the lilack Hills has been watched with the deepest interest in the eastern section of the state. Its resulting in a complete victory for Judge Moody is a cause of general gratulation among all the old line republicans, for it renders certain what all of them want—Moody's pres ence in tha United States senate,—Pio neer Press. & 'to Ooniumptum tnourable.

It starts out with an author ized capital of $250,000, and will be one of the strongest financial institutions in the west. The company is composed of wealthy citizens of Detroit, Michigan, and this city, whose names alone are a guarantee of the company's soundness and conservatism. The following gentlemen are at the head of the concern: President, M. H. Butler, Detroit Vice President, Charles C. Polk, Sturgis Cashier, W. F. Street, recently of Detroit The board of di rectors are: M. H. Butler, Gilbert Hart, J. W. Weeks, C. K. Lathan, of De troit W. F. Street, Chas. C. Polk, J. O. Wenke, F. M. Allen and E. T. Huffman, of Sturgis. The oompany will open in business in the Marshall building, first door west of Cornwell's furniture store, on Main street. Carpenters are now at work pre paring the place for occupancy and as soon as they are through the bank will open for business. W. F. Street, the cashier, is a young man of experience in the business and will undoubtedly pre side over the destinies of the institution in a manner satisfactory to the stock holders as well as the patrons. He is a very pleasant and agreeable gentleman personally and is a very welcome ad dition to Sturgis business and social circles. We wish the conoern all the success possible iu their new field and assure the public that they will receive court eous and liberal treatment at the hands of its managers. Meade County Demooracjf. The democrats of Meade county met last Saturday and placed in nomination candidates to be slaughtered at the polls next October. The convention was called to order by Freeman Knowles, who read the call. Dr. Pratt acted as temporary secretary. Committees on credentials, permanent organization and resolutions were appointed after which the convention adjourned for dinner. At 2 oclock the delegates re-convened and proceeded to nominate various can didates. For members of the lowes •house Miles M. Cooper, of Bare Butte, and S. 15. Miller, of Elk creek, were nominated. For county judge James Brennan, of Sturgis was nominated. Delegates to the state convention are: T. E. Harvey, J. D. Hartman, Freeman Knowles, M. Goeden, E. B. Boss, James Brown, George Seavey. Delegates to the senatorial convention are: J. D. Haie Sqollard, M. M. Cooper, W. C. Logan, E. B. i«sus, Brandt, J. W. Bodebank, Ed. Galvin, Chaa. Bosebrough, M. M. Baird, G. J. Germain, Olaf Helweg, N. L. Witcher, J. A. Hale. To the judicial convention the following were elected delegates: W. C. Bnderus, Louis Walters, James Brennan, Geo. Weller, O. L. Loranger, Ed. Davis, P. L. Smoot, Geo. Minturn, John Monheim, James Brown. The nomination of county officers, if found to be necessary was left in the hands of the executive committee. The convention expressed its prefer enco in a very decided manner for Ed. Galvin for the senatorship, and he will undoubtedly be named. The following resolutions were passed by the conven tion: WHEBBAS, WE are now npon tlie eve of a state election and whereas onr state now holds equal rank in the national uffairs, and adds another star in the galaxy in onr national emblem, and recognizing the harmony and prosperity of the party and state and bowing down to the benign guidance now and hereafter of a Divine Provi dence, HESOLVED: That the democratic party now as heretofore is as firm in the adherence of those principles that, have ever boen the time guidance of the party. In the words of that distinguished statesman, Thomas Jefferson, "a government of the people for the people and by the people." liesolved: That we unanimously endorse the platform of the last national convention. Hesolved: That the 1 rrikob of the laboring classes the suffering everywhere prevailing is the outcome of republicanism, and we pledge our selves to the rein'i'.l of all laws detrimental to the workincman. Hesolved: That we recognize the groat bene fits derived from the opening of the Sioux reser tion inaugurating a new era of immigration among us bringing wealth and enterprise to the development of our lands unrivallod by any of our sister states.

This, tha newest count in all the Da kotas, is one of the oldest settled in the territory. It was originally a portion of Lawrence, the great mining county of the Hills, but was segregated last year by the legietature. This county set up in business for itself on the first of July last. Meade county was carved out of the agricultural portion of Lawrence and is, from one end to the other, a first-class farming country, save on the western boundary where the toot-hills begin, which are covered with a heavy growth of magnificent timber. This county takes its name from the military post of Fort Meade (named aft er General George C. Meade), situated Bear its cester. The extreme length of the county is sixty miles and the aver age width about thirty. Five-sixths of the county is a broad, rolling plain, with an average height above sea-level of 2, 750 feet. The Bare Butte, Spring, Al kali, Elk and Box Elder oreeks drain the principal basins of the county while a large number of smaller streams drain small areas. Surveys recently made show there still remains enough vacant land to make 5,000 of the best of farms. Water is in abundanoe. Running streams, bank full the year around, make irrigation entirely useless and unneces sary. Wheat can be relied upon to go from twenty to forty bushels to the acre oats, thirty to seventy-five corn, sixty to one hundred. Barley and other grains do as well in comparison. The finest hay—wild at that—covers prairie and mountain side alike. All stockmen agree that not eveu the long timothy and clo ver from cultivated lands can equal in nutrition the wild hay of the Hills. The rainfall is increasing yearly. As the sod of the prairie is turned over the rainfall increases accordingly. The farm ers here have never been troubled through lack of rain. The present sea son, while in Northern Dakota and even some portions of South Dakota farmers have complained of small crops owing to droughty the farmers of Meade county have no complaints to make. True, it is, that a full crop will not be garnered this season, as it has been drier than us ual, but our ranchmen will harvest a full and heavy three-quarters crop of wheat and oats while corn will be better than ever. A market is always to be had, for all crops raised, right at home. Undoubtedly the peculiar formation of the country is the direct cause of the plenteous fall of rain. The strange con wills their altitude the ra diating streams of wai™ ing through their deep water courses, "in conjunction with the two forks of th« Cheyenne river, undoubtedly, as a whole, are the cause of the liberal showers of the spring and summer, With almost an unlimited range cov ered thiokly with the richest and most nutritious of grasses the stock raiser has comparatively little expense attached to the raising of his cattle and horses. The winters on the ranges of this county are not of great length, and are extremely mild. It is not to the large cattle raiser these opportunities alone are given, but also to the smaller farmer who desires, in connection with his regular farming du ties, to raise either for himself or market a few head of cattle, sheep or horses. A point in favor of this portion of the coun try as a stock range is that it rarely has one of those terrible blizzards Dakota has the name of producing. The Black Hills has not had a blizzard for ten years. This county has also extensive lumber interests. Timber of of the finest quality covers the Hills from one end to the other, the major portion of it being pine. Mills are situated throughout the Hills, on the various water courses and in the clearings and parka. As a consequence lumber is cheap, and owing to this the construction of buildings costs less than iu some other portions of the west claim ing an older settlement and more availa ble resources. Our only railroad at present is the F., E. & M. V., a part of the great North wee tern system, and it-holds out special inducements to excursionists and immi grants to visit the Hills and look upon our prospects aud resources before set tling upon any government land so far away from railways and trado centers as to work untold hardships upon those who settle thereon. A postal card mailed to J. B. Buchanan, general pas senger agent of the road, at Omaha, will procure for the, writer all information desired. The Black |Iills i* not tf® sterile, unfruitful region many Dakotenij imag ine. Mr. Rupe, of Pleasant Valley about eight miles from this city, has a large peach orchard which is bearing heavily this year. The trees are about five feet high and are loaded down with a fine crop of this luscious fruit. He will have more than enough for his own use and will market the balance. The people oTtheBlack Hills have a tort of sneaking, lingering liking for Pierre. Ever since they got acquainted with eaoh other in the glorious days of the Pierre-Deadwood mighty trail and the halcy on times of the bull and mule trains they have sort o* consoled eaoh other in their manv trials and tribulations and we are of the opinion Miat when Pierre calla out to her old-time partner to help her out on election day the Black Hills will%mie near doing it. Pierre aud the iliiis have beeu too long partners either end of ft tedious trail iu liusiwH now aiders like Huron, Bedfield, Sioux. Falls and others would like to have them. PROHIBITION ISSUE. The Hills People Take a Broad, Liberal View of thiB Important Question. The prohibition movement is another question demanding the attention of the voters of South Dakota. It is an import ant matter, and should be carefully canvassed before the casting of a ballot. It is claimed, at present, that South Da kota will go prohibition by a large ma jority. Possibly it may, but we doubt it. The people of the Black Hills be lieve in keeping the liquor traffic under control and close restraint. They realize that by having prohibition all restraints and governing influences are virtually lost, and that instead of the people con trolling the traffic the traffic over-runs the people. All this is an indisputable fact, easily proven by deductions from Maine, Iowa and Kansas. The people of the Hills country are against prohibition. They do not believe in the "state-rights" theory of prohibi tion, while the national government al lows the traffic. If the nation would prohibit the business—both manufact ure and sale—we believe the Hills would then favor the movement. The Hills people are prosperous, pro gressive and happy intelligent and law abiding citizens. They are hospitable and generous, and yet the most temper ate class of people on earth. As to the liquor question they are "willing to ae cept the experiment of the several states that have given prohibition a fair and impartial trial and pronounced it a fail ure, and returned to the- high license system. Saloons, breweries and liquor houses .are running wide open in Dubuque, Da venport and other Iowa cities, and yet we are told that prohibition is enforced in that state. Prohibition does not pro hibit anywhere. Wherever that law is upon the statute books, can be found strifes, hatreds and bad blood. Commu nities are filled with spies and informers. Such despicable characters are heartily detested by all honest people. The peo ple of South Dakota do not want to in* augurate the pernicious system in their new state. It is productive of troubles and uprisings. Conservative men do not want it. Only those of the extremist order are desirous of obtaining it. The conservatism of the country has put its seal of condemnation upon it—the most of the states having repudiated it. If the conservative masses of South Dakota are wise prohibition will be buried at the coming election. v V The Christian Union of New lorlc says: "Prohibition as an effective meas ure of temperance is still an exjoriment, and a somewhat doubtful experiment. It has not succeeded in the largo cities in Maine. It has been once tried "*""»«huGotts, and failed ignominious 1y. It wnrirrm»^i»_RhiXie Island. It is certain it would fail" in th Tmmmg-™-j. manufacturing citieo of Pc.nnuylvatii.fe: .In Ohio a similar provision in the con stitution, prohibiting license, gave over the state for years to free liquor, and made Cincinnati a by-word and a re proach. Is it wise for temperance men, who desire to abolish the saloon alto gether if they can and to restrict it where abolition is impossible, to incor porate in the constitution of tho state so doubtful an experiment? We can give. but one answer to that question—an answer in the negative." The Portland Oregonian says: "Pro hibition is intolerable, and by its intol erance it destroys itself. It is the very same spirit that in former centuries put men and women to torture because tliey did not worship God according to form ula, or became hypocrites in tho name of tho gospel. Tho spirit that prompts these extremes of fanaticism and injus tice should be sternly trampled dowr.v and the time is coming when it will be the dutv of, the people to do it." Tuxes in Sioux City have increased 113 per cent under prohibition. The tax rate in Council Bluffs, Iowa, is 80 mills on the dollar in Doa Moines, 62 mills in Topeka, Kansas, 12 mills Wichita, -57 mills Atchison, 57 mills Marysv'ille, Kansas.'t® mills, at which place it was 25 mills before prohibition. Tho average rate in Kansas is 40 mills. Seventeen hundred buildings were un occupied iu Des Moines in June, 188&. Rents have redttrod over one-half. Iowa. loses *10,#|),000 a year on account of. prohibition. The cbut of conducting. criminal courts in Iowa increased froiui 8381,000 in 1883 under#!icense, to $452, 000, in 1880, under prohibition. Only two states in the Union have ever lost in population both wero prohibition states. Tho per cent of iucreaso ia pop ulation is slower iti prohibition than in all others. V Kx-Uovernor Charles Robiiison, of Kansas, sayt ''Prohibition in Kansas is a misnomer. There is no such thing ex cept in the state constitution. Before the adopi ion of the amendment 1,000 permits had been granted by the nation al government to sell liquor in Kansas, exclusive of the drug stores Hie Chi cago Tribune is authority tor saying there are now 2,000. "In looking over the assessment rate in the city of Lawrence before and after pretended prohibition, I find the rate for general revenue purposes, 1876 and -1877, to be 4 mills. From that time till pro hibition 1881, it was 3 mills, but from 1882 till the presenttinie. under prohi iiition, it lias been-10 mills on tho dolhu,, AW the iwuaty «jt«e fv"tf«noral f»i 1874) «ul 1877 wib 2 mills, v.-hile in 1881 wml J88SH KW W'wilhfc but Ofe I# a* U-JS/OJ IU as in l(M-_v it tho oowaty f"f all la uHUiiih about.
