A BIG BUSINESS IN JUNE.
The Chamberlain Land Once Breaks Al
Former Records.

The Chamberlain Land once Breaks All
Former Records.
THEreport made by the United States
Land Office Officials at Chamberlain
shows that during the month Of June
256 filings were made by homesteaders
on lands in the ceded Sioux country.
This report shows q steady increase
month by month since the lst Of jan
uary, this year, and also shows that
the number Of filings made during June
was larger by twenty-seven than dur
ing any previous month in the history
of the land Office there. This makes
40, $3.50 acres Of Uncle Sans land that
We're disposed OF in this land district
during the month Of June. Figuring
at the usual estimate Of five to family,
this would make an increase of ,2S0 to
the population in this section during
the thirty days. Since the first OF
January Ola settlers have filed on land
in the country ceded by the Sioux,
making total increase Of population
in this section since the first OF the
year of 4,57O.
As there are eight other land Offices
in the state, it will be seen that there
has been . gratifying increase in the
population OF South Dakota this year.
AS the season grew later it was expect
ed by some that the number Of new
settlers would decrease each month,
but exactly the reverse has been the
case. Since the first Of the year each
months filings have shown an increase
over the preceding month, and the set
tiers are still coming.
Not day passes without string of
prairie schooners passing through
Chamberlain on their way over the pom
toon bridge to the ceded Sioux lands ly-
ing west Of the Missouri River. Most of
these new settlers 60 upon claims with
the intention Of remaining there, but
there are some who come and file and
then go back to their eastern homes,
where they have put in crops, 1t being
their intention to come to their new
farms to stay as soon as harvest is
through with at their old homes. At
that time they will bring all their
worldly possessions with them, prepare
tory to locating permanently upon their
new farms and growing up with the
country.
AT the present rate Of increase it will
be but q few years until the vast and
fertile country west Of the Missouri
River in this state will TEEN with toll
ing tens OF thousands OF happy and con-
tented farmers: new towns will grow
up, and the development of that sec
tion will add to the prosperity OF the
entire Northwest.

addition to the devastation wrought at
Pomeroy, Fonda, Storm Lake, and
other towns in its path, airs wrecked
homes and ruined farms. The actual
loss of life in tho path Of the storm

be accurately stated, but it Is
known to he great, and the
damage to property is tremendous.
Thousands Of acres OF corn alone have
been destroyed. In many huge fields
of corn nothing is left but the roots,

The Making of the Modern Newspape,

Ever since its organization the Current
Events club has maintained lecture
course. Many of its lecturerars here also
appeared before the W.L.U.
An arrangement was made last year
with prominent newspaper and club
woman to give lecture ON 1.-THE Making
of the Modern Newspaper" before both
clubs, but it was necessarily given up n
account of the illness of the lecturer,
who is not yet strong enough to take up
any public work.
AS personal friend of the president Of
the Current Events, she will, during a
visit to this CITY, give tn. lecture to this
club With characteristic generosity the

further add to it's laurels by donating

John W.Lane of Westbrook went into
Wilson Bros. jewelry store, Boston, Tues
day afternoon, and gave an order that
purported to be signed by well known
East Boston business man. Mr.. Wilson
suspected things were not all right and
sent the man with police inspector to
superintendent Eldridge, where he final

man was forgery. When asked what
had induced him to write another mans
name, he explained that there was "a
little school ma'am down his way who
had promised to be very kind to him if
he would bring her nice gold ring on
his return from Boston"
"Of course" he added slyly, with a
knowing wink at the superintendent 81

SEVEN GREAT STYLES.
Professor Laban e. warren's Lecture on
Art Last Evening-A Large Audience at
the Rooms of the Historical Society.

AT the rooms of the Maine Historical
Society, in Baxter building, last evening,
Professor Laban E. Warren of Water
vile gave the first of series of lectures
on architecture and sculpture. PROBES
sor Warren was first introduced to a
Portland audience last winter, when he
gave series of lectures before one of
the literary clubs of the city. These lee
lures were SO admirable that there was a
demand this winter for another series
from the same lecturer. Last evening
large and thoroughly appreciative audi
ence filled the rooms of the Historical
Society, to hear Professor Warren speak
of the ''Seven Great Styles of architec-
ture; the three Pagan, Egyptian, Greek
and Roman; and the four Christian, the
EARLY, the Romanesque, Gothic and Re-
Nuisance. The points most specifically
dwelt upon were the dates of the great
styles, the. minor styles, architecture as
a religious development, structural char
acteristics, the religious idea in temple,
pyramid, tomb and obelisk, and the spe-
cial forms of early Christian architec-
ture. The lecture was amply illustrated
with large, fine photographs, many of
which Professor Warren has collected
personally while abroad. In connection
with the early Christian architecture he
showed some striking pictures of the old
churches at Ravenna, the oldest Chris
tian churches, with a single possible ex-
ception, on earth. They date from the
Sixth century. In connection with the
Christian churches, Professor Warren
spoke particularly of the fame of the ba-
silica. cruciform, timber roof, transepts,
choirs, etc., with remarks also on the
Byzantine churches.
Professor Warren has lectured here
once before this winter on Florence, and
will give several more lectures here in
continuation of his series on "Architec-
ture and Sculpture.
While these lectures are especially de-
lightful for those who have made some
study of art, they are yet presented in
such way as to please and instruct a
general audience.

A Point for Mrs. MAVERICK

A fact is about to be made public here
that by many persons is taken to throw
more doubt upon the justice of the SEN
tence imposed upon Mrs. Florence May
brick, who is now undergoing life i'm
prisonment in the Woking Prison on
conviction of having poisoned her hus-
band. James Maybrick of Liverpool, by
administering arsenic to him. It was
shown at the time of the trial of Mrs.
May brick that glycerine used by Mr..
Maybrick contained arsenic, but this
testimony did not avail to save the
prisoner from conviction. Now Messrs.
Bird and Sons of Birmingham, dealers
in chemicals, inform Food and Santa
tion, trade paper,..that shortly before
the death of Mr.. May brick they analysed
quantity of German glycerine Offered
for sale to them. They discovered that
it contained arsenic and refused to buy
it. Later they learned that this same
glycerine was sold in the midland
counties, and it is probable that some of
it was purchased and used by Mr.. May

pleasure to contribute something tow
