The party that has been engaged in surveying the boundary line between Alaska and the British possessions has returned to Washington. The main body of the great region bought from Ilussia is definitely located on the 141st meridian. One of the most important results was to settle that Mouut St. Elias was not on United States soii. Its height was found to be 18,023 feet, consideracly higher than the estimate of several exploring parties. The most astonishing thing was the discovery of two. if not three other mountains farther inland on British territory that are higher than the famous saint's mountain.

Carter Publishing Co. Pierre Turner County Herald. Published Every Thursday HURLEY, S. D., JAN. 17, 1895. OFFICIAL PAPER. Senator Pettigrew January 22nd. Sample copies of the Weekly Inter Ocean can be seen at this office. The Sioux Falls Press was surely in the lead as a newspaper. Wednesday morning. The latest news from London is to effect that J. T. M. Pierce's swindles will amount to at least $88,000,000 when the returns are all in. An explosion of three cars of giant powder at Butte, Montana, Tuesday, caused the loss of about 75 lives, and destroyed property to the value of $1,000,000. According to appraisers appointed for the purpose of determining the wealth of Jay Gould at the time of his death, the amount is found to be $882,932,582.70, of which only $2,000,000 is in real estate. The bill for a resubmission of the liquor question has passed the house by a vote of 49 to 31. Turner county's three members voting to resubmit. It is thought the bill will carry in the senate by a vote of about 24 to 18. The write-up of his southern trip which Editor Bishop is giving in his Volga Tribune is intensely interesting, and the subject is treated in that fair and impartial manner for which Bro. Bishop is noted and respected by the publishers of the state. L. E. Krauger, proprietor of the Salem Roller Mills committed suicide last Friday by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun. No cause for the act is known. He was doing a good business and was well fixed financially. He leaves a wife and four children. The county board at its meeting last week passed unanimously a resolution asking Judge Smith to hold the February term of the circuit court in Hurley, unless the citizens of Parker provided better accommodations for court purposes. Hurley will take care of them all right. In his message, Gov. Sheldon recommends that a law be framed requiring county treasurers to turn over the state money at least once a month, so that there will not be so great a danger of loss to the state. In the light of recent events, the recommendation pauses the reader to smile a sickly smile. From the state capital comes the report that breweries located outside of the state have representatives on the ground working against resubmission. As there are 1,100 government liquor licenses granted east of the Missouri river, and there are not to exceed 200 drug stores, it is evident that there is considerable beer and other unlicensed liquid being sold. C. O. Bailey of Sioux Falls in a recent conveution with a reporter of the Yankton Press reporter said: "Yankton and Redfield are not to have all the glory for furnishing big sensations. I'd have you understand. Within two months, Sioux Falls will provide something in that line that will completely eclipse the Pierce affair and lay the W. W. Taylor defalcation so far in the shade that it will not be heard of." The defalcation of Treasurer Taylor is a severe blow to the state and its finances, but we are younger and have vast resources and will in a few years forget all about the incident. There is no question but others are at least indirectly responsible for the crime. Public Examiner Myers surely failed in doing his full duty, and he should at least be retired to private life. The manner in which some of the bondsmen were busily engaged in disposing of their property during the latter part of December shows conclusively that they had an inkling of what was coming. A law should be passed requiring officers to secure bond of guarantee companies. Tax Decision. Armour, Jan. 10.—Judge Smith of Yankton has just handed down his decision in the case of the Iowa Land company against Douglas county. This is a case of more than ordinary importance, and at the same time of commencement in 1893, not quite generally noted by the press of the northwest. The position taken by plaintiff, counsel was that, under the statute as it was up to 1891, a county treasurer had no authority of law to sell real estate in South Dakota for personal taxes, and that the rights of the plaintiff being vested, the subsequent act of the legislature in 1891 could not affect the plaintiff. The court in its decision, sustains this decision, and decrees the taxes null and void as against the plaintiff and makes the temporary injunction permanent. Election Law Decisions. Yankton Special: Judge E. Smith, of the first judicial circuit, in his decision in the Hutchinson county treasurer's election contest decided some very important points concerning the state election law, which have already caused considerable discussion and annoyance among the attorneys of the state. He holds that where a vote was given for the regular candidate upon a ticket, and also across placed before the name of an independent candidate for the same office, the vote cannot be counted for either nominee, as the name of the regular candidate has not been canceled. As a second finding he holds that where a cross has been placed in the circle at the head of any party ticket and the name of one of the candidates on such ticket is erased and no cross has been placed before the name of any other candidate for the same office, the vote cannot be counted for the candidate on the regular ticket, whose name has been erased. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL - Item of Interest Furnished by the Herald's Regular Correspondent. Pierce, R.D., Jan. 15, '95. The chief, if not the sole topic of conversation about the legislative halls and hotels is still the great defalcation of laylor, and the remarkable performance of Commissioner Ruth. The state officials are bending every energy to catch the fugitive and to realize on his bondsmen. The attorney general has been given $1,000 to use in apprehending Taylor and in recovering the money of his bondsmen. They are confident they will be able to do both, though there is little mention that the bondsmen will contest the suits to the last point. Taylor's whereabouts are unknown. The last accurate information of him was in New York, January 3, when he was known to be in consultation with at least one of his bondsmen. A rumor was circulated that he had fled on board a tramp steamer, whose captain is his brother-in-law, and which left last week, bound for California—around the Horn. But little credence is given to this report. Tele grams have come in from various parts of the country telling of men suspected of being Taylor but none of them have been correct. The great loss of $350,000 teemed at first to paralyze the state officials but they have been hard at work on the problem, and have discovered the means of resuming the commonwealth from financial disaster. A bill has been passed permitting the treasurer to sell funding warrants to the amount of the uncollected taxes which now reach about $300,000, and Treasurer Phillips expresses the positive conviction that he will have no trouble at all in selling them. The $90,000 of school money drawn is probably lost, but there will be plenty of money for the operation of the other departments of the state government until next August, when undoubtedly the board of equalization will make a deficiency levy sufficiently large to cover the steal. The legislature shows a disposition to get down to business much earlier than usual. The prohibition fight has already passed so far as the house is concerned. Mrs. Cramner on the one side and M. Kaufmann, the Sioux Falls brewer, on the other, have been here for ten days actively canvassing. The first caucus of the prohibitionists was held on Monday night, when it was discovered that they had on the outside only thirty-four votes, and it was determined not to make a strenuous fight in the house. On Monday the motion to adopt the minority report of the committee favoring prohibition by a vote of 31 to 42 showed conclusively that the resubmissionists had an overwhelming strength. The bill is expected to come up in the senate about the first of next week. The senate committee is favorable to it and the senators themselves will probably pass it by a majority. Mrs. Cramner and Mrs. Simmons have been at work on a woman's suffrage bill, which will be introduced prooably by Dowdell of Sanborn, in a few days. There is very little chance, however, of its passing. The ladies make a proposition that as the majority of the legislature are advocating resubmission on the theory that the voters can be trusted with any plan, they ought to be willing to trust them with this. Economy is the most frequently mentioned word at the capitol just now. Everybody is asking for it, and while some are rash enough to talk about degrees of saving, no one has yet appeared to advocate the present scale of expenditures. It is early yet to say just where the lopping off will take place. It is pretty certain it will not be in legislative expenses. Last week there was a good deal of talk of a thirty days session. This week the members talk of adjourning at the end of forty days and it is probable that as soon as they are convinced by Treasurer Phillips that warrants will sell at par they will resign themselves to the notion of staying here the full term. Amendments to the constitution are coming in thick and fast and it is likely that that remarkable institution will be pretty well patched over if the people ratify the legislature's action. Senator Boyce of Minnehaha has taken the bull by the horns in the proposition to call a constitutional convention and make a thorough revision of the organic law. His act will probably pass. J. E. T. Give the Farmer Facts. The average planter has but little use for finely spun theory, whether it pertains to the relation of his condition to politics or whether it deals with the best ways and means of growing the best crops. What he wants is facts. No one has realized this more than the great seed line of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich., who for forty years have been studying the wants and conditions of planters, large and small, and as a result have created the largest seed business in the whole world. Without doubt, a strict adherence to the policy of dealing in facts represents the secret of their success. They know their seeds are right before they are sent to the many thousand dealers from whom the planter gets them. The dealer knows this to be a fact requiring no further question, and the planter finds it to be a substantial fact when harvest time comes. Another illustration of the value of this method is found in Ferry's Seed Annual, in which there is nothing but facts. Facts that prove of the greatest value to every planter, facts about how, when and where to plant, that can be had from no other source. There are no worthy facts left out, and no unworthy facts left out, and no unworthy theories let in. This book is sent free to everyone who asks for it.

Red Oak Independent: It is a lamentable fact that the rewards of the country editor are not always commensurate with the labor expended. I was about to say with his despots, but the reason he does not prosper, except in growing grace, is because of his poor business methods, says one who is old in the business. One of the most baneful proclivities of country publishers is the habit of free puffs. So long as a merchant can get his name in the paper—in the local column at that—every time he buys a new box of goods, or makes a sale, and so long as the editor announces from week to week that Mr. So-and-so, our wide awake and enterprising dry goods dealer, is doing this or that, just so long the said dealer will have no use for his business locals at 5 cents per line. Every notice that advertises or promotes business should be charged for. Every card of thanks, every notice of an entertainment—where an admission fee is charged—should be paid for. If editors would charge and collect pay for what they do there would be more well-to-do newspapermen. A Household Treasure. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y. says he always keeps Dr. King's New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A.
