THE OMAHA DAILY BEE RAPID CITY'S BIG “REFORN" The Beginning of a Change Shows Up in That Booming Place. A LIQUOR SELLERS' BOYCOTT. They Refuse to Patronize the Elee- tric Light Company Because of Temperance Stockholders— The School of Mines, Black Hills Gossip. Rarip Crry, Dak., Feb, i7.—[Corre- spondence of the Ber. J=-It is only seven months since the first train of cars pulled into Rapid City, but in that time a revo- Jution bas been wrought in the com- mercial, social, political and moral as- pects of the place. I take space now to wefer to but one sign of these changes, but a recent and striking one—one that possibly may become the pivot of events as dramatic as those that have torn up Sioux City. There has just been declared & liquor seilers’ boycott against the Rapid City Electric Light company. Tenlamps (all that were in liquor stores and those in the Continental hotel) were ordered out on Monday and the following day the dry goodsstore of L. Morris & Co., the drug store of Evans & Matteson and Bweeney's hardware store followed suit. 'he reason assigned by such of the boy- cotters as have declared the casus belli is the temperance principles and preach- Ings of the principal stockholders and of- ficers of the electric light company chiefly, O. L. Cooper, the dent, and Dr. V. T. cuddy (he of the Pine Ridge Indian agency fame). Enquiry among the dis- satisfied liquor sellers fails to d velop any charge of overt ts of trosson to King alcohol on the part of these gentlemen; it is averrea they (the whisky men) will not 76 _an institution run by prohibi- tionists. The few temperance meénin the electric light ¢ claimin prohibition d hat this is not a boycott for injuries donoe or threat- ened by them, but a persecution for prin- ciples' sake; and that they will sooner olose the works entirely than recant under the dictation. say they can stand itto lot their works lie idle if the town can stand the advertisement to the world that its electric light system was extinguished at the dictation of a few rum-sellers and gamblers. The real source of this contention, however, lies deeper than the the inter- ests of these contestants, and relates to the radical changes going on in this com- munity since the event of steam civil tion. "1t was with the cars that the ari wal of a new order of immigrants guve to the temperance element here, long latent, sufficieat force toimpel active Ppro rqimmisrn‘ Mrs. Barker, organizer of the W, C. T. U,, then came--like Paul and Silus_to Thessulonica—to turn the world upside down here also. She organ- jzed a branch of the union, and it has since continued in full vigor, singing, praying and giving socials and vpicnics as the manner of women reformers is, but inducing very little swearing off, so far as appears. Moreover, they secured the teaching of physiology and the effects of alcohol in the city schools, and they have opened and supported a free reading room— offenses somewlhat after tho order of those for which Jack Cade chopped off Say's head, saying: ‘“Thou hast traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm by caus- miprhmng to be used.’” bout the close of last year the liquor element of Rapid City met its lirst defeat. They petitioned the mayor and council for a reduction of the license fee from $500 to #200. Although a contident at- tache of the saloons declared that *‘when it eame to a count of noses that body wasn't going back on their constituents,” at turned out different. A remonstrance, instigated by the temperance peopie, but decisively backed by the heavy taxpayers and business men, controlled the council and tho tiquor scllers quit losers. The present boycott is a continuance of that struggle and an effort to get even. The next step will probably be a law and order league to strictly enforce the liconse law and take away the licenses of all vio- lators, which, under present practides, would outlaw every liquor seller in town. And then, if a martyr is wanted to sow the seed of the temperance church, we have one_ in lr:xininTr in the person of “Uncle Jack” Wood, who goes about daily proclaiming himself a temperance crank. So you see we have all the ingre- dients of a ‘‘great reform” here. 'he local papers are energetically silent re- garding this matter. *1t would hurt the town to have it published.”” Possibly their reticence is as discreet and inter- ested as Mark Twain's non-committalism on the doctrine of future rewards and unishments, because he **had friends in oth places!'’ But a wise man of this town said to me, with one optic closed: ‘‘My son, shut your mouth and hear the conclusion of the wholo matter. That boycott is all bosh. These kickers are so dashed hard up that they can’t pay for the lights, and they ure making a virtue of necessity. It is impecuniosity, not wrath against the temperance men, that ails them.,” THE DAKOTA SCHOOL OF MINES was inaugurated here yesterday. It is two years since the territorial legislature constituted and aporopriated for this in- stitution, and a year since the building ‘was put up, but the opening of the school has been put off until now because no suituble head could be found for it. It has been the hope and intent to make this a school of and in the mines, and the men of requisite techmical scholarship, of practical experience and teaching capacity are few, snd hard to get for a moderate salury, when engineering and assaying pay s0 well. The trustees at Iast blundercéd upon Prof. F. R. Carpen- ter, a prophet in their own country, and chose him dean. If his cxeentive power ranks with his scientitic attainments, his mining experience and his pedigogical abilities, he and the school will be a pro- nounced success, The other instructors are well versed scientifically, how well ractically remains to be demonstrated. he seleetion of Judge Moody, of Dead: wood, as lecturer on mining law is a good 'choice, I judge; and there 18 no question about the need of his ripe in- struction in a section in which and at a time when the law regulating mines and mining is so little known that not one plospector and owner in ten knows when is assessment work ought to be doue to hold a claim. The exercises yesterday were simple and in good taste. A brief professional address by Prof. Carpenter, an historical and eulogistic one by C. L. Wood, im- promptu speeches and side li';ms of music and prayer made up the l)rn' amme. The trouble begins on Mon- y with 8 class of thirty. Tuition is free, and if they keep polities, whisky and local jealousies out of the manage- ment the school wul do a greater work for Dakota economically than all her other educati s combined, BLACK RILLS LEGISLATION.

Twicenor. T™H '8 FAULT, Verdict of the Coroner on the Ite pub- Wrecek. P Feb, 20,—~The Post's Tiffin (Ohio) speeial says: Investigation of the ereat Baltimore & Ohlo wreek of January 4 has drawn to an end finally and to-morrow morning the verdict will be rendered by Coroner Sepper. The verdict Is a very lengthy document, of which the following is a synopsis from an advance cony served to- night: The coroner first finds that William Fredericks, of Holgate, 0.; J. M. Francis and Frank Irwin, of Black Hand; W 8. Pierce, of Wheel- ing, ' W. Va.; Joseph Postlethwaito Henry Postlethwaite and _Spencer Postl. waite, of Watzel county, West Virginia D, C.; Fran Bowinan, of Mechanicsvilla, Ta., and otlhers whose names are unknown eame to their death by a collision on the Baltimore & Ohio railgoad one-half mile west of the village of Republic, Jan®ary 4, 1857, at 2 o’clock a. m. Healso finds that froighte neine No, 083 was in an unsafe and unserviceable condition, and that officials of tha road bad been noti- fied of this fact, but still allowed it to be used. The enzineer of the freight train Edward 8. Kiler, was not intoxicated chareed, but was worn out with sixtee hours and fifty minutes continuous duty with a green firéman and a poor engine. e had plenty of time to get to Republic from Sencea siding, thirty-eight minutes for the ten miles, but his engine was o poor and leaked so that the fires were put out and it died on the track at the point of the collision. I'he conductor of the freight, L. F. Fletehy failed In his duty by not the Iimited express, for engine had died ten minutes be- fore the express was due. The brakes on the o‘t‘nl-se were inferior and ineffective, as they falled to diminish the speod of forty- three miles an_honr more than one-half in'a distanco of 1,000 feet. The manner of heat- inz and lighting the cars of the express train was inferior, unsafe and dangerous, and con- trary to the laws of the state of Ohio. Had the lighting and heating been proper the cars would not have Tmrned and the loss of life would have been very light. He therefore finds that the above persons came to their death through gross necligenco oif the part of the officials and managers of the Chicago division of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, of Garrett, Ind., and througn the gross negligence of Conductor L. F. Fietcher in failing to signal the express train, and through gross negligence on the the owners, mianasers and the ®Baltimore & Obio railroad company for using on said train inferior and inefiective brakes; also for using improper, dangerous and unlawful manner of lighting and heating the cars of said express. It would seem that such negl gonce as resulted in such great loss of could not be other than criminal, but there are no laws in Ohio making such nex a erime and no laws under which sucl sons can be charged with el - JOMPAN flageing o know ' the bt The Cost of One Drank, OAKLAND, Neb., Feb, 20.—[Correspond- ence of the Bre.]—Fred Witte, who hasbeen on the expense of the county since Decem- ber 18, 1885, on account of a drunken spree, in which he lost both hands, is still ~ receiving constant medical treat- ment. His medical expenses, for amputation, and treatment till he became well, will be fully $500. The county coi missioners are not in_favor of the coun bearing his expenses, if his case is a clear one azainst the saloons. 1 understand our saloon men have endeavored to effect a c promise with Witte, as he will forever unable to earn his support. No_doubt his damaces will be considerable. This cas with others, will have a great tendency to teat tie license ticket this spring. "The Farmer’s union of this place has begu the erection of sheds for corn. One of th directors informs me that fully 15,000 bushels of corn are awaiting the completion of these sheds, and that they would erect an elevator in the near futnre.” They have the best lo- cation in town for an elevator. The union no doubt will be the means of breaking up the grain monopoly in this county. e Points From Mender. Prxpen, Neb., Feb. 20.—[Correspondence of the Brr.]—The Presbyterians have been holding meetings for the two weeks past in the newly-finished Methodist churcl. Revs, Brown of Emerson, Weiss of Wakelicld, Sloan of Bancroft, and Lodge of Wayne have engaged in condueling them. ‘There is considerable talk of a new railroad coming through Pender in the spring. The enginesr was in town eaily in the weelc and claimed the most practicable route yet found is from Stanton to Pender and thence across the reservation, following Omaha_creek to Homer and 80 on to Sioux City. By taking this course it is only necessary to_make two or three slight cuts,” ‘The engi- neers are estimating the cost per wile a8 they proceed and when done will be able to report the cost of construction for the entire line. ‘The survey by way of Ran- dolph and Martinsburgh is pronounced lm- practicable. ‘f'he_senate bill for the organization of Thurston county is interesting “*we uns’ just now, and we have faith that it will become a law.’ In thatevent Pender will experience a boom, being the only town at present within the confines of tue proposed county. S IOWA PEN NEWS, What is Transpiring at the Anamosa Prison. ANAMOSA, Ia., Feb. 19.—[Correspondence of the Beg.]—Warden Bass, of the lowa staie penitentiary, located at this city, has received from the state treasurer the massive safe for- merly used as the state cash box, and hence- forth it will be & permanent fixture in his office. It was the property of the state when the canital was located at Iowa City and was carted across the country to Des Moines by team.

Renevolent THE BEATRICE F Western Mutual Association. Brartric ib,, Feb, 10.<To the Eh tor of the Bee: The Beg's shot at the “Western Mutual Benevolent associa- tion." of Beatrice, seems to have hit its mark, 1am glad to know that there s one great newspaper in our fair state that is not afraid to show up this decep- tive outtit. And right here I want to remark that the people of Beatrice are, at least in part, morally responsible for the fact that this thing has existed here so long without its true inwardness being made known. They have advertised far and near that they were endorsed by their home people. Three of our local papers of this city never tire of giving them sweet little puils, And Mrs. Colby keeps their eard in ber Woman's Tribune. In the beginning of the scheme Mr. Colby was flooding the town with handbills” concerning their cussedness. But all at once he became ‘“‘connected with the gang.” Of course the addition of so much virtue was sufflcient to leave the whole lump, and the good work h: been going on ever since. But Colby had a rival—politically and otherwise— and he, too, became’ “‘connected.’’ So far so good. Now then, with the support of two truckling newspapers, that have to truckle or lose quite a little job work, with two attorneys—the one an ex-consul, the other a te senator, with the cashicr of a national bank as their treasurer, with letters endorsing the company from another bank oflicial, also letters from our dearly beloved Metho- dist pastor, und with the standing adver- tisement in the Woman's Tribune of course the *“Western Mutual” could say that they were endorsed by their home people. Perhaps so. But right here the writer wishes to remark that he has never heard any one in Be: trice speak well of the outfit ex was some one connected ei or indirectly with the J's the Beg has put its *‘foot in it.”" Let me tell you how. A day or two since an O Republican “man was here soliciting subscribers, and cited the fact that our peonle ought to patronize the Republican instead of the BEE, cause the BEe made waronthe “leading E ation of the west,”’ or in other words, struck a blow at a Beatrice enterpri but unless I greatly mistake the senti- ments of this community there will be no tears shed when this thing is wiped out foreye P, Mason r—''itis a dis- v Yours truly, WiLLs BALL.
