The Kewopaper Law.

Any person who- has taken a paper regularly from the postofflce, whether directed to him or not or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsi­ble for the payment.

The courts have decided that refuting to take newspapers or periodicals from the postoffice, or removing and leaving it uucalled fur is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.

If any person orders his paper discontinued, he he must pay nil arrearages, or the publishers may continue to send it until payment is made and ool-lect the whole amount, whether the paper is taken from the offioe or not.

The Canton project for securing the Dakota extension of the Illinois Central railway is not entirely dead, as many would suppose. The report sent out from Cherokee last week to the ef­fect that the grading contracts on the Sioux Falls line were let was a mis­take. The profiles are not yet ready, and many other features might be men­tioned that would go to show that the Cherokee extension is no sure thing. LeMars people are wide awake in their desire to have the Dakota extension leave their town and are working hand in hand with Canton and Calliope peo­ple toward that end. Two hundred leading business men of LeMars have guaranteed a £50,000 bonus to the Cen­tral company, or to any other company that will run a line into Dakota from that point. The leading business men of that city, including Congressman Struble, will join hands with the Calli­ope, Burlington and.Northern people for the construction of a local line should the Central people decide* to adopt the Cherokee line. Meanwhile the followers of the latter plan are working with might and main. Hock Rapids voted a 5 percent, tax Tuesday for the Cherokee extension, and the towns all along the line are arranging for bonuses. The directors of the Illi­nois Central will meet in Chicago this afternoon, at which time arrangements for the construction *of the Dakota ex­tension will be completed. Leading business men of LeMars and Calliope are there. They will make a strong pull for the Central, but should they fail it will behoove the people of Canton to co-operate with LeMars and Calliope people in the con­struction of a local line into Canton and the territory beyond.

The division convention at Huron last week was attended by over 400 del-

ites from the various counties in South Dakota, and was throughout a highly successful affair and a harbinger of much good in the fall campaign. 3. W. Carter, of this city, was elected tem­porary chairman, and Hugh J. Camp­bell, of Yankton, presided over the per­manent organization. Executive, aid-visory and campaign committees were appointed, whose duties are to get out a full vote for the division cause. J. W. Taylor and James Maddden were appointed committeemen to act for Lincoln county in the campaign, and O. S. Gilford and Gen. Campbell will represent the Yankton district in the executive council. ; „

It will be remembered that the city council a couple of weeks ago reduced the assessment on improved real prop­erty in this city just 50 "per cent, from the rate returned by the assessor. The council believed that the balance of the county had failed to come up to the agreement to return a full valuation, and thus the reduction. But the county commissioners thought differ­ently and during their session last week raised the city figures to the original amount.

Upon request of 522 legal voters of Lincoln county the license question will be submitted at the election in November. It is the general opinion the result of last fall's election will be reversed and that license will carry at the coming election. *
