ing iho board of trade agree to

bo allowed on the floor of the exchange , nnd
customers will hereafter bo dependent on
newspaper or on prlvnto messages for their
quotations.
There seems to bo a diversity of opinion
regarding the uliimntu results of the de
cision. The attorney for the board and some
of the directors profess to bo very jublluat
nnd sny they will now proceed to doJlndealh
blow to Iho bucket shops. Souio upoculntors

however , do not hold this vlow. Mr. Edward
Pordridgn wild : "I don't pay nny attention

tfot Iho rcporls. "
Murphy ft Co. , who hnvo tjie largest

It n victory for the board , by any means.
Wo have always conceded Iho right of the
board to discontinue the reports at any tlmo
nnd at their pleasure. If the board resumes
the business , directly or indirectly , it bus to
furnish everybody that hns them enjoined.
Under that state of .iffuiis wo do not think
they will go out of the business. The tele
graph companies Imvo the richt to go nnd
collect the reports , nnd if the Western Union
over sigmlios ill willingness lo do so Ihev
will bo cranted the porn.iasion. If we wcro

YIVKTO.V , S. D. , Mnrch 'JO. [ Special to

comes the gratifying news of the Mttc of
$11)0,000 youth Dakota state bonds nt 1U' . , '
premium. The bonds draw t tier cunt nnd
run twenty years. And in this connection
the further fact may bo stated that county
warrants Issued to procure seed wheat have
been sold nt n premium ; ni.d the further
fact may bo stated that n great deal
of excellent seed wheat is offered for
sale by fanner * In sotno of the
dcstitnto counties. Tbut there wns ilestltu-
lion In a few counties nan tint bo denied , but
when thn Huron ineoUnir un It up to nine

Your correspondent maintains that the
avaricious lenders ot money are doing more
lo oppress und Impoverish the Small D.utoU
farmers than drouth , grasshoppers und
whisky altogether. The shaving shops und
lonu offices exist in every town ,
und thu usurious rules exuded
will cat up the most prolific industries. The
Into legislature refused to reduce interest to
S per cent and pass usury laws , for iho rea
son , ns they nllcged , that money would only
como In Dakoln on a high rate. Ordinarily
they would feel rebuked by tlio sales of
bonds just made , but the arguments of the
money changers nnd the little transportation
pasteboards so kindly furnished by the rail
road companies fell upon the avutngo legislator
later like the dew from heaven to satisfy
nnd fructify. In South Dakota it will bo
free money nnd free whisky utter May 1 and
tlio state can hope for no relief so long ns the
shylocks and money lenders run the law
making.

felt that 1 could' remain witb saloty.
Suddenly Iho door opiMiud aud two of

wanted to see if I was a hafidsomo ani

ledge of tbo ball mirror line take a good
look at myself. Vos , 1 was a beauty , and
the pleasure of such knowledge wont a
long way lo reconcile mo with
my unhappy lot. I'ro-iOiitly down
came the family to breakfast ,
and I can slill hear my mother's o.vla-
matioii of "Whoro did thai eat come

mother , you will uovor know the pain
that unconscious exclamation iravo mo.
The \vaitormaii told them bow i came
and my father said in bis kind way
"Let the poor thing May , it will kei-p
the hotiaC clear of mice. ' ' That settled
il , and I rubbed my baok against his
log. the only way I could show mgrat
itude.
[ 'or several days t was a favored in

slept hccuro from tlio torriorV atlaekr.

wandered Irping to Iind blii-ltor ; tbo
cold March wind whistled and bowied.
The morning broke , aud bill ) I could liml

hkulked up tbo dark alleys and smiril'or

Now my hindquarters are numb and
