MARYLAND ANCESTORS.
How the Early Marylandcrs Were
Supplied With Their Wives.

Baltimore special: Colonist Day.
concentrating the 250th anniversary
Of the landing Of Leonard Calvert and
the Maryland colOnists, was celebrated
here 10y the Society of Colonial Wars.
The anniversary fell upon Sunday,
March %. Thomas Marsh Smith was
the orator. Mr.. Smith read a copy of
a letter, dated London, August II,
1921, in regard to the expectation of
wives to the Virginia ~colonists. The
letter was in part as follows:
We send you in the ship one widow
and eleven maids for wives for some Of
the people of Virginia. There hath
been especial car had in the choice of
them, for there hath not one of them
been received but upon gCol recon-.
mendations. In case they cannot be
presently married, we desire that they
may be put with several households
that have wives until they can be pro.
vided with husbands. There are near
ly fifty more that are shortly to come.
and are sent by our honorable lord and
treasurer. the Earl of Southampton,
and certain worthy gentlemen, who,
taking into consideration that the
plantations can never flourish till fam
lilies are planted, and the respect of
wives and children for their people on
the soil, therefore have given fair be-
ginning. for re%imbursing of whose
charges it is ordered that every mar
that married one of them give l2O
pounds of best leaf tobacco.

HERBERT MAY RESIGN.
His Relations with the President
Strained.

Pittsburg special: The report of the
nrmor plate frauds made to Congress
by Secretary Herbert and the strained
relations between the Secretary and
President Cleveland vel the amount
of the fine imposed on the Carnegie
Company may cause Mr.. Herbert to
resign.
This statement was made by J. X.
Wallace. an attorney OF this city. Mr..
Wallace has a client, who, he asserts,
has more startling information in con-
nection with the armor plate frauds
than that furnished by Carnegie en-
ployes through Attorneys jerks and
Smith. In his report Secretary Her
pert says none of the defective plate
was put into the sides of the w~arships.
Mr.. Wallace says this Is incorrect, &C.
cording to his clients statements.
These have been furnished to Secre-
tary Herbert, with whom Mr.. Wallace
has been in communication. Through
the Secretary's letters he has secured
the information that Mr.. Herbert ls
dissatisfied and may resign. lie Will
not talk about the case until 1t Is
ready. The allegation made by Secre-
tary Herbert that General Superin-
tendent Schwab has been removed
from the active management OF the
armor plate department of the Home
stead works was the first intimation
here that any change had been made
in his duties. Messrs. Schwab, Corey
and Cline are still around the mill
daily. There was u rumor in Home
stead that Mr.. Schwab had severed
his connection with the company. He
was seen at his home. but refused to
say whether he had resigned or not.
There was also a report that he was
the person who furnished Attorney
Wallace with the information that the
heavy battleship plates were defective,
but he denied this.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE STATE.
cha south Dakota Artesian Assoc'a''o'
Ready for Work-Grounds on Which u
Rehearing is Asked of the supreme
Court.


THE organization known as tee
South Dakota Artesian Association
which is the outgrOwth OF the late ar,
.esian and irrigation convention heio
1t Huron the early part OF Marcn, IS
.eady for work. The object is 10
awaken a more general interest In
and appreciation for the marvellous
possibilities before the people IN the
use of artesian wells for irrigation ana
for W purposes. The subject Is no
longer speculative. Four Touring
mills II by this power and three or
four towns electrically lighted by 1t
are an earnest and what may in future
be expected in the application OF 1T.
The results of irrigation are equally
gratifying. Lands which to-day are
worth SO an acre can be made worth
300 an acre by bringing the water up
on them. TO do this it is quite neces.
sary that the people take advantage OF
the municipal credit, made possible
under the present county and township
artesian well laws. 1t is quite import
ant that the matters be discussed pub
licly and widely in order that all may
know the real facts. With a view to
this the association has arranged with
several interesting speakers who are
familiar with the facts to assist in
holding such meetings. If parties in
terested in any locality will arrange
for a meeting Il d for the expenses
merely of the speaker sent to them by
the association. the association Will
furnish the speaker. An interesting
md practical report will 10 he in
print. prepared from the scientific
standpoint of Prof. Todd of the State
University. This will set at rest the
fears of some that the artesian water
supply is very limited.

IA, is known to have been instantly
killed; two of the wOrkmen are also
missing, and it is believed two others
lost their lives, while a dozen or more
we're injured. There is the widest
excitement throughout the city.
The work of rescue is being carried
on by the police and fire departments
and ambulance corps. 1t is a difficult
task to remove the debris. Two hous-
es we're completely wrecked by the
force of the water, half a dozen more

VETOED By THE PRESIDENT.
Cleveland Kills BANDS Silver Scign'
forage Measure.

Washington special: The President
has sent to the House his message
v~etOing the Bland silver se~ignioragc
bill. The President begins by saying
that this strong desire to avoid a DIS
agreement with Congress would lead
him to approve the bill If he could
believe the public good would not be
endangered thereby. But he was
unable to satisfy himself that the
measure is either wise or OppUrtune,
and his conception of the obligations
and responsibilities of his office for
babe indulgence in personal desire II
compelled the use of his best judgment
to protect and promote the interests OF
the people. .
The message takes up the panic oil
last year with the general loss OF con-
fidence in our fiscal policy, for which
the Sherman silver bullion purchase
law was largely responsible. Tha law
was repealed last November. but as
the country had fallen so low III de-
depression and timidity eve this did
not lead to immediate revival OF credit
and business. There has. however.
been a gradual and and substantial I'M
%provement, and most encouraging re-
suits attained at home and abroad.
Our recovery being so we'll under way,
nothing should be done to check our
cOnvalescence, o should we forget
that u relapse at this time would al
most surely reduce us to a lower stage
Of financial distress than that from
which we are just emerging.
The President expresses the belle1
that if this bill became a law it would
weaken, if it did not destroy, the re-
turning faith and confidence in our
sound financial tendencies, and that,
as a consequence, u progress 10 re-
Dewed business health would be un-
fortunately checked and a return to
our distressing plight seriously threat
eue0.

SIOUX FALLS BEER.
Grounds on Which "A Rehearing Is Asked
OF the Supreme Court.

OF the Supreme Court.
w. A. WILKES, attorney for the
plaintiff in the important case of the
state againt the Sioux Falls Brewery
Company, which was recently decided
by the Supreme Court in favor of the
defendant, has presented a petition to
the Supreme Court for a r%ehearing.
He bases the petition on the following
| contentious: THE case was assigned
to Judge Bennett, who died, and the
opinion was prepared by Judge Fuller,
who was not a member of the court
when the case was argued. and up to
the time of its assignmentth the case was
not considered by the court with refer
cnccs to it's decision" This was an
equity action against the brewery ana
the defendants are not entitled to a
jury trial. In the lower court the evil
dence showed that there were in the
possession of the defendants at the
time the complaint was made. 2,145
barrels of beer, 5000 bushels of malt.
400 bushels of barley, 10 bales of
hops, and five tons OF corn meal and
that the business of brewing was going
OF at that time, as was shown by the
testimony OF sheriff Sunback: and that
the defense introduced no evidence to
combat this. The trial court fOtS1d as
facts that the brewery was q place
whore Intoxicating liquors, were kept
for sale and were sold as a beverage.
It is not the province Of the Appellate
Court to weigh the evidence. The SUI
preme Court of South Dakota in the
case of the state against Chapman,
from Lincoln County, held that the
keeping of intoxicating liquors or beer
for sale Or barter or for delivery in
violation of law in any given place
makes the place where kept q NUS
ance. Mr.. Wilkes says: In that case
you did not say lager beer or root beer
of malt beer or intoxicating beer, but
simply beer The defendants admit
ted thai the beer taken was ~intoxicat-
ing liquors: and that beer is universal
ly considered liquor without proof of
its Intoxicating qualities"

THE PAST WEEK IN TRADE,
The Unreasonable Weather Has
Been q Retarding Influence.


New York special: Bradstreet's will
say: The features of the business week
include: evidences of an in reasing
volume of trade at eastern cities, which
is offset at other centers on account of
storms and colder weather and damage
to crops. There is a smaller volume
of trade in most lines at Chicago, an
exception being pig iron, where the
demand exceeds the %cxpectiOns.
Similar reports are made by ST. Louis
dealers in crude iron and by iobbels in
dry goods, millinery, hats, hardware
and shoes. At Omaha business is less
active than a week ago, although buy
ers in many instances are disposed to
make larger purchases. At Mil
waukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth the feature IN trade circles has
been q temporary check to business
due to the unreasonable cold weather.
The total bank clearances of tho
principal cities in the United States
for the past week were $74l, 40l, 756. "a
decrease of 29.2 per cent. compared
with the corresponding week last year.
