HOME HAPPENINGS.
To Be Consolidated.
The business for newspapers in Sully
County having become limited with
the hard times, and wishing to extend
our business over the whole field in
stead of curtailing and dividing
it, and G. W. Everts, realizing the sit
uation. desired to seek a new and more
lucrative location and to dispose ot the
Onida Journal. The proprietor of the
WATCHMAN, has therefore, bought the
title and good-will of the Onida Jour
nal, together with the building it oc
cupies, and will next week consolidate
that paper with the WATCHMAN. We
hope to give the people of Sully county
a paper that will be satisfactory to all
of them and merit their undivided sup
port, and would be pleased to enroll
all of the Journal's subscribers on our
list. The publishers ot Onida have
long since known that there was insuf
ficient business here to properly support
one paper, which when divided between
two left a very meagre surplus, if any.
Mr. Everts will at once remove bis
printing material to Fort Pierre, where
he will establish a new Populist paper.
The WATCHMAN hopes his fondest
anticipations for financial success will
be realized.

—The Onida Journal last week

—At their meeting on Tuesday the
school board decided to remove the lit

school to commence about Aug. 1st
4 months term of high school to begin
Dec. 1st, and a three months term of
primary school to begin April 1st.
The writer hereof has no children of
school age and may be considered "out
of order,'' but we do believe that the
school board have arranged to spend the
most money they can to get the least
possible benefit. If the plan is carried
out the Onida schools will take a long
step downward. Seven months of
school will also be held in eaokof the
Other two districts.

OTTO BRATJER.
Death alone has his harvest at all times
and in all places, reaping heedless, wheth
er the first blade or the ripened grain fall
beneath his scythe.
Another young man is taken from our
midst. OTTO BRAUER departed this }ife
at 1 P. M., July 7, at the residence of H.
D. Enoe, thirteen miles northeast of
Onida. The deceased was born in Penn
sylvania in January, 1870. His mother
having died and his father remarrying the
boy was thrown upon the world at an
early age. He drifted westward and final
ly settled in Craig, Neb. While there he
contracted that dread disease, consump
tion, and came with his friend, Herbert
D. Enoe, to this place last fall, hoping to
better his health. After returning to Ne
braska to settle business matters, he again
came here, with the intentions of settling.
Mr. Enoe did everything in his power to
prolong the young man's earthly stay,
and has been a loving and constant nurse
to him whose life was ebbing away. A life
which as it grew weaker in the flash, grew
stroner in the christian faith and termin
ated in perfect rest in Christ. Among his
last words, these "I have but one regret,
and that is, I am going to my Savior emp
ty handed."
Although so short a time among us Mr.
Brauer leaves a large circle of friends, and
one dearer than a brother, to mourn his
loss. The funeral occurred at 10 A. M.
Monday at Mr. Enoe's place, Rev. Q. W.
Cruger delivering the funeral sermon,
from there the procession formed which
followed the remains to their last resting
place in the Onida Cemetery.
When he heard the snmniQtyli
He was ready to go home
And the light that here wis fading,
Brightened in the fairer home.
Ftom the pain of this world's living
©Dd has called again his own
...' And the grief of friends is softened,
Knowing he is at His throne. E. J.
CARD OF THANKS
I hereby wish to express my heartfelt
thanks to all those friends and neighbors
who have done so much to assist me in the
care of my friend through his long illness
and for their aid in making pleasant and
cheerful Otto's last day on earth.
May his God, the Giver of all good, re
gard you.
H. D.
ENOE.
'—We are pleased to announce that
Chas. H. Agar has finally succeeded in
securing an abundant supply of water
at his residence just south of the vil
lage, at a depth of 80 feet. John Starks
was at the bottom of the well digging
when the bottom—or part of it—fell
out, and the boys who were present
say his face was whiter than usual
when he appeared at the surface, but
then he wasn't scared. No, only a lit
tle bit.
One thing that the next legislature!,
which will be populist, should do, is to
repeal the law which requires a paper
to have been in existence one year be
fore it becomes a "legal paper." The
law was adopted in the interest of the
republican papers of the state to cut off
the numerous populistic papers, which
are springing into existence all over
the state, from the revenue to be de
rived from legal advertising and com
pel their friends to give the same to the
cuckoos of the republican party, and
thus help them to eke out a miserable
existence. It is a contemptible cow
ardly law and we do not believe it
would stand a judicial test at any rate.
But the quickest way to get rid of the
contemptible thing is to repeal it.—
Onida Journal.
The above would indicata that there
is a sore spot somewhere, and of course
the Journal must blame the Republi
cans for it. The law referred to was
orginated by the State Press Assacia
tion, a strictly non-pansanorganization,
and the writer happened to be present at
the meeting when the bill was drafted,
and knows that it was not done in the
interest of any political party but for
the protection of legimate newspapers.
H. S. Volkmar, editor of the Milbank
Review, one of the rankest Populist
papers in the State, was one of the
most actiye advocates of the law and
was a member of the committes ap
pointed to draft the bill and urge its
passage. But then Bro. Everts can't
see anything only through biased eyes,
especially when he wishes to change
locations.
