HOWARD, Station Agent. T1IE NEWS AROUND HOME. Mrs. So and So will remain in Canton over Sunday. H.

O. Hustel was the lucky winner of the music box at Helmey Kelmaa's on New Year's day. Charley Hymer returned from Mitchell Thursday, where he pastured during Sunday's snow storm. He says the storm was more severe out there than here and that consideradle more snow fell. Mrs.

C. Fitzpatrick, of Maple Grove, took the cast bound train Tuesday for Colesburg. Iowa, where she will visit with her father who is in very poor health. The wind mill on top of M. Herman's livery barn locked horns with Sunday's blizzard and came out worsted to the extent of having the top blown from the tower and being otherwise badly smashed.

Tne management of THE LEADER desires to say to the merchants of Canton that hereafter articles containing such language as was pnblished in the issue of hist week, signed Independent, will not btpermitted to enter its columns the article was unknown to the mnnaft'er. The following is the state oft he produce market at Canton, Thursday morning, l'eb. 12: Wheat, oats. corn, barley. 40(a50e Hax.

$1. hogs, $3. cattle, fat steers, butchers' stock, $2.25. From (JO to 80 thousand hogs in sight every day for the past week. Pete Haas has sold the Lennox Independent newspaper to a company of democrats and the paper came out last week as a democratic sheet, with Will Clark, formerly of the Canton Advocate, as editor and Publisher.

Pete does not say what he is going to do but he probably intends to hold down the post office as long as he can. A communication to Tim LKADGK from Delaware township says that the Campbellites are holding a series of protracted meeliugs at the Pleasant View school with Rev. Snoddy as pastor, and are taking the country by storms. The attendance lias been unusually largeand 2ii conversions have been made. Every evening the large school room is crowded with people and Rev.

Snoddy has the credit of waking up the neighborhood as it has never been done before. Charley Marker came home from Illinois last week and brought with him the splendid horse colt, Blue Stone, which he purchased during his sojourn in the Sucker state. Blue Stone belongs to the Hambiltonian family of trotters and is a fine animal for his age. He will be three years old next August. He has some excellent blood in him, from the fact that among his ancesters appear the names ol Don Cossack, August Belmont, Abdallah, Goldsmith Maid, Mambrino Chief and Bashaw Drury, all noted animals.

Mr. Marker has reasons to feel proud in tin ownership of Blue Stone. For some reason the weather got out o. patience with Dakota last Sunday, am when the good people of this regioi, crawled out of their warn nest Suuda morning, expecting to go out in to a mild atmosphere and bright sunshine they were surprised with a genuine old blizzard, which prevailed all day and t'-u in to the night, and raged with suel furor that the average Canton famih was detained from public worship and the editor was obliged to dig his only porker out from udder a snow drift and pen him up in the coal house. The storm was general all over the state and considerable snow fell.

Trains were much belated Monday and in some instances telegraphic communication was entirely cut off. It was rather a severe dose for Dakota after having Indian summer weather all through December and January. Rev. Simmons is continuing the revival meetings at the Methodist church ami with this closes the fifth week of tliesi meetings. Notwithstanding the persistent hostility which Mr.

Simmons has encountered in this work, lie has succeeded in doing more good in the sami amount of time, than two-thirds of tin ministers in the state. It is safe to estimate that something over 30 have been made and some of those whi had been christians but had fallen back into the ways of the world have been re claimed. Perhaps many will wonder ai this because they do not consider Rev. Simmons an extraordinary preacher nor man of more than average ability, but tc the man who sees into this work deeply, there is no wonder about it. Rev.

Simmons, in the true sense of the term, is a minister of much more than average ability in that lie is more persistent, more earnest and conscientious and more sincere in his work than any man the writer has ever seen. He believes every word he says and his deep sincerity creates in him an honest desire to save souls from what lie believes to be everlasting perdition. It is the deep and honest conviction of right and duty that does the work in him. People believe what he says and are thus convicted of the unwisdom of their ways. No one can estimate the great amount of good he has done in this community and all honest and fair-uiinded men, even though they do not profess Christianity themselves, cannot do otherwise than encourage him in this work.

O. R. Isackson, the Main street blacksmith and wagon-maker, has purchased a new eight horse power champion steam engine and boiler to drive his polishing machine, steam drill and other machinery needed in turning out the large amount of work lie-is called upon to do. Mr. Isackson has added other improvements to his establishment, which make him the owner of one of the largest and most complete blacksmith and machine shops in this section of the state and he says he is now prepaired to turn out almost any kind of work in his line with greater speed and ill better shape than ever before.

Jere Woodley the newly appointed postmaster at Maple Grove, was in town Friday afternoon and called at THE LEADER office to interview the editor. Mr. Woodley insists that he is a solid independent as much as ever, and that this paper did him great injustice by calling him a hypocrit in the article publishep week before last. He said he did not mean to say in his letter, that the peopie opposed him because lie was a republican but because they thought he was. Mr.

Woodley persists in his former statement that the office was tendered him without any knowledge or solicitation on his oart and that he knows nothing whatever about who was instrumental in his getting the appointment. According to the constitution of the slate, no schrol land shall be soid for less than the appraised value and in no case for less than ten dollars au acre. On such land as is not sold for cash, the purchaser shall pay one fourth of the price in cash and the remainder, one fourth in five years, one fourth in ten years and one fourth in fifteen years, with interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum, I payable annually in advance. Upon payment of interest for one full year in advance, the balance of the purchase price may be paid at any time. Not more than one third of the lands shall be sold within the first five years and not more than two thirds shall be sold within the first fifteen years after the date of the vesting of title thereto in the state.

Olev Thompson, proprietor of the Thompson house of this city, who deals extensively ill all kinds of farm impliinents, has evidently come to the conclusion that he has too much business on his hands and offers his hotel property for sale. For the information of anyone who may have a desire to go into the hotel business THE LEADER would call' attention to the fact that this is a good layout. The house is well located, is 38x70 feet two stories high and has 35 sleeping rooms, good cellar, cisterns and other improvements and has large barn, suitable for a livery or for boarding purposes, in connection. Mr. Thompson will sell the property on reasonable terms and at a fair price.

The house is doing a good business. It is a good opening for some enterprising farmer who has become tired of rural life. Wednesday evening sheriff Pierce arrested Frank Rod way and immediately placet him in the county jail. The reader vill remember that last July, F. Ilodway, Roller and Geo.

Chapman, were placed mler arrest for disposing of liquor illcgalTheir cases went against them and aider a decissionof the county court they each fined $150 and costs and 60 jays in jail. They all gave bonds and ppealed to the state supreme court, Chapman and Fred Kollar skipped iid left the bondsmen in the lurch. The slate supreme court has just the decission of the lower court in iiodway's case and he was arrested Wednesday evening by sheriff Pierce while in lie act of repairing a pig pen. To say Hat Rodway was surprised, but. faintly portrays his feelings.

AVhat the result vill be is difficult to surmise. It seems hat in order to get released Mr. Rodway will have to appeal to the supreme court of the United States and this will require large outlay attorneys fees alone would iot be less than $500 and then the decision would in all probability be the same, sixty days in the county jail and $150 iiiie and costs amounting to about $80 will give any man ample time to rellect. THE LEADER would call the attention of the local prohibition enforcement league, county attorney Brown and other public officers, to the fact that there are two or three hell-holes in the city that evidently need renovating very badly. One of these holes is on the scond floor of the building formerly occupied by TL M.

Devenport's bargain store. George Chapman harbored at this place the last few weeks of his stay in Canton, and the way he carried on was enough to arouse the righteous indignation of every sober citizen and a sigh of relief went up from the community when Chapman left for parts unknown. But from present indications it appears that when Chapman departed he left his harbor of filth and iniquity behind to be perpetuated by someone else, and it is IOW a more open and notorious resort than il was before Chapman went away. In the interest of the prohibitory law as well as the people who own property in this block, which is constantly in danger where such dives are permitted to exist, this paper, in behalf of the sober, lawabiding and God-fearing people of this locality, calls upon the authorities to give this concern a much-needed cleaning put. The commissioner of school and public lands gives notice under date of January 13th.

that the school lands in Lincoln county, S. will be offered for sale at public the highest bidder, at the front door of the court house in Canton, on the 27th. day of March, 1891 and that such sale will continue between ten o'clock a. m. and five o'clock m.

of each day until all the tracts of school land in this bounty have been offered for sale. The commissioner also gives notice, under date of January that all the unsold school lands in Lincoln county, will be offered for lease, to the highest bidder, at the front door of the court house in Canton, on the third day of April, 1891. and that such offer will continue and be conducted by the county superintendent of schools, between ten o'clock a. m. and five o'clock p.

m. of each day until all such tracts of school land have been offered for lease. THE 0LDE FOLKS CONCERfE. A Large Orowd Turns Ont to the Olde Folks Proves a Snoceaa. The concerte by ye Olde Folks, which was held in Canton, on last Tuesday evening was a grand success from the beginning to the close.

This concert was made up entirely of home talent and is a credit to every participant. The hall was well filled, by an apreciative audience and as one of the many remarks that was made at the close will give an idea of its success. "It was fine and I enjoyed it from the beginning to the close, there is nothing I can enjoy as well as good home talent" and many such other remarks. Among the notable features was the rendering of a declamation, "Spinning Wheel Song" by Miss Annis Mallory, an extremely difficult piece and was most admirably executed, and we venture that none in the state could do it more justice than did Miss Mallory on this occasion. Another one was the "Quaker Courtship" by Louiesa and Herman Wusrze, Miss Wojrze acting her part to perfection.

Prof. Richard rendered a solo "The Song of the Brook" with that clear and ringing tone which carried with it the hearts of the audience. The singing was fine throughout and reflects credit on Prof. Richard's. In fact the concert was a grand success from the beginning to the end.

WORTHING WAIFS. A disease in some respects similar to diphtheria has been raging here for some weeks. Mrs. H. J.

Frank and two daughters, and several members of the family of P. H. Deavitt, have suffered with the disease. Our literary society is a grand success. The same is true of our school and its enterprising teacher and of our post office under the new administration.

Pelton is a wideawake young Hon. F. A. Leavitt is busy most of his time doing Alliance work. He has lately spent several weeks up in Minnehaha county.

Frank Leavitt, Jr. has gone into the flour and feed dusiness at Sioux Falls. Frank is a bright young man and while his many friends here will regret to part with his company, they wish him abundent prosperity in his new venture. The surprise party which took place at the residence of W. W.

Thayer one day last week is on record as a grand success and a good time was reported. Evan Jones has purchased a telegraph instrument and gone into the telegraph business on his own hook. A number of our young people attended a dance at Nine Mile Hall, in Dayton township, recently and so far as your correspondent can learn all came home delighted with the entertainment and the people of that locality. In spite of the fact that a few fellows here have been after our station agent's scalp, Mr. Henry is still on deck, ever ready to attend to the duties ot his position.

That's the kind of a man the railroad company wants here. Henry Bradsliaw, the Lincoln township rustler, has made himself frequent here recently. He is now working up the fiffairs of TIIE FARMERS' LEADER, we learn. H. J.

Frank, James Madden and C. D. Morris, visited Lennox one evening last week to attend the G. A. R.

meeting. Mr. Frank, we learn, was honored with a prominent office in the Lennox post. L. of Le Mars, Iowa, was here several days last week visiting with C.

D. Morris and station agent Henry, his old school mate. Mr. Burwell expects to locate somewhere in Dakota the coming spring and went west to look up a farm. E.

Rise, is preparing to ship a lot of cattle to Omaha or Sioux City this week. A petition has been circulated in this locality praying the state legislature to pass a law reducing the salary of county treasurers to $1,000 per year, and also an act providing that the chairman of the township board shall be a member of the county board of commissioners. It is not meeting with much favor in this part of the country owing to the fact that it increases the expense, The question for discussion at the session of the literary society next Saturday evening is "Resolved, that all public offices shall be filled by a direct vote of the people." The question is interesting and as the speakers on both sides arc capable to handle it well, we have reasons to look for a lively debate. A party of friends and neighbors held forth at the residence Jas. Woodley one knight last week and a good time was reported, Miss Minnie Sullivan retnrned home from school this week and a surprise party at Pat Clark's was the result.

0ABD OF THAHK8. We pesire to return our hearty thanks to the people of Lincoln and adjoininc counties and especially those of our immediate neighborhood, for their kind help and assistance rendered us during our severe sickness, and we pray that they may be blessed with long life and prosperity.
