Aberdeen dispatch, 10: As an indlca-
ton Of how fast>South Dakota is berg
settled by a desirable class of people, a
person should closely scan the land Of
flee business OF the several districts of
the state. The Aberdeen land office is
probably keeping up with all the others,
as fully as much effort is being exerted
by residents of that district as any other
to acquaint homeseekers with the adj
vantages offered. Up to IL o'clock this
morning ten entries had been made, req
resentiug 1000 acres. Yesterday seven
homestead entries, one cash entry, one
timber culture proof. and one soldiers
declaratory were allowet. April is
usually one of the dullest months Of the
year in land office business, but the
business transacted in the Aberdeen land
Office was as follows: Land sold for
cash, 179.79 acres; homestead entries. Al,
embracing 6,422.63 acres; 20 final home
stead proofs, embracing 3,115.68 acres;
la timber culture proofs, embracing 2,
l6O.O4 acres. It will be seen that the
land in the famous Jim river valley il
constantly being sought for and that
government land in the Aberdeen dis,
trict will soon be exhausted.

State Auditor Nipple in his paper
the Parkston Advance of the 10th inst,
thus analy yes the insurance business of
the state for the year 1893, as follows:
The statement shows that the fire COM
panies received $44s, 2sO.95 in premiums.
Fire losses incurred 1908, III. 90. The
companies estimate that it costs 30 per
cent OF receipts to pay operation expen-
ses. This inc lLdes Is per cent commits
500 to local agents. Taking this amount
with the losses would indicate the COM
panIes paid out approximately S366.00O
and received s44S,000 leaving about\ss2,r
COO for profit. The % per cent raise
made in rates in the northwest was for
the purpose of helping the entire field
to assist in making up expenses. When
we consider that the companies lost
more than q million dollars in North
Dakota, and the local agents in our own
state made at least $4,000 in premiums,
it does not seem that the companies cen
be blamed for making $4,000 in this
state. One good fire in any Of our cities
would have put the companies in the
hole for this year. The life companies
received 1885,, 363.s1 and incurred sl23,.
9O05l losses, but of course much OF the
balance belongs to policy holders as il
is simply laid w as savings.

A Sad, Sad Tragedy.

A very sad tragedy occurred at Gas
ton on the South Bouud Railroad last
Wednesday night: It was the tragic
Death of a bright young lad, who had
run away from home, without even tell
ing his parents geod bye. The sad event
occurred Just about midnight, and tears
sole down the cheeks of many q strong
man, as he stood by the handsome lad
in the hours of the morning, as his lite
slowly ebbed away from his mangled
form. These strong, tender-hearted tar
mers stood around the little fellow, al.
though he was a perfect stranger, dong
all in their power to save him, knowing
be was 10 dying condition al the time.
They stood there and heard him tell his
story and plead for his life to be pro-
longsd till he could kiss his father good
bye, a father whom he had left without
riving any lntlmasion as to his Intentions
"a father who was at his home in Pnila-
delphla. perhaps st that very moment
racking his brain to devise SONS plan OF
securing informatian as to his missing
son. 1t was scene to touch the heart
of any man. The story briefly told ls as
follows: On Wednesday night this lad
got into CASTOR in some way. a. mid
night fast freight train passed through,
but did not stop. Just as itrolled past
the station, q cry OF pain WAS heard on
the track and several parties fastening to
investigate, found the form of youth
on the track terribly cut and mangled.
He was lifted up tenderly aud taken into
the depot building. There was no phYsi-
clan lr the place. the town physician
being away in Colum o!a. The lad told
these around him that he had 10 a belt
around bis waist $3.65 10 cash. He
begged them 10 tear his clothes open.
get it and get physician for him. He
SAID that this was all the money he had
and he had not cared to spsnd any OF it
to ride on the railroad. He said be at
tempted to Jump on the train while it
was running; no one had pushed him of,
bu: he had simply missed his footing
and fallen under the wheels. No physl.
can could be secured before the arrival
of the 3 a. N. train fron Columbia.
When the lad wss told this be said he
had some time ago, without cause, and
without, even saying goodbye to his
mother and father, run awey from bis
home in PHILADELPHIA. He said be was
eighteen years Of age and his name was
Samuel Williams; his parents lived at
No. 736 Germantown avenue, Pllla-
dslphia. Tho boy was handsome lit
tie fellow, ana seemed to be OF good
birth and well-to-do parentage. When
he realized that death was lmlni7ent, he
pleaded to be allowed time enough to
kiss his father goodbye; and thus his
young life slowly ebbed away. DR..
Brosker arrived about 8 a. NJ, bu. the
led dleS II fifteen minutes thereafter.
The good people Of CASTOR took charge
of the remains and as much concern was
displayed in the funeral as if scme son
of CASTOR man had died. He was
given q neat burial and his grave was
marked, so that should bis parents hear
of his tragic end and wish to see the
grave, they can find it. The above &C
count Of this extreamly sad tragedy IS
taken from Mondays State.

The Reed Smoot Building so Declared by
aCompetent Architect.
On Saturday, on Judge Smith
adjOurning court from the regu-
lar courtroom to his chambers, fearing
for the safety of the building, at the
request of the judge, Reed Smoot,
owner of the structure, telephoned to
Salt Lake for an expert architect. Mr..
Smoot first called up Architect .Klet
ting, but that gentleman being too
busy to come down, he was instructed
to send a competent man, one whose
knowledge and experience he could
vouch for. Mr.. Kletting sent W. 7.
Proudfoot, architect for the joint city
and county building of Salt Lake city.
He, in the presence of Mr.. Smoot, city
inspector of buildings, Thaddeus E.
Cluf, Contractor Belmont, Architect
Watkins and some others, yesterday
made a thorough examination of the
building and prepared the following re-
port to his honor Judge Smith:
Hon. Harvey w. Smith, Judge of the

DEAR SIR:-As per your request |
have made a thorough examination OF
the Reed Smoot block and the drawings
for the same and beg to report:
~ The plans as prepared by Archi-
tect Watkins provided for well con
structed building having ample
strength in all its parts.
~ The building was erected in sub
stantial accordance with the plans, eX
cept that the posts under the stairs,
which are shown on the basement
plans, were omitted. The brick and
stone walls are exceptionally well con.
structed and are in good condition.
am informed that the southwest corner
was built Tout Of plumb" and, judg-
ing from the appearance of the walls,
| take that statement to be true.
81 The cracks showing in the angles
of the rooms on the different floors are
almost entirely due to the shrinkage Of
the floor timbers, which, owing to the
rush in construction, were placed in
| the building in an unseasoned condi-
ton. These cracks do not indicate
any particular weakness in the stIuc-
ture as they are common occurrence
in buildings where heavy wooden

ally intended, substituting iIon fol
wood in order to occupy as little space
az possible.
~ 1t is my opinion that the build
ing is, in its present condition, per-
fectly safe, aud with the above men
toned posts in osition it would be
impossible to load the courtroom floor
to a dangerous extent.
Very respectfully,

Temporary wooden posts are to be
put in this evening. AS soon as iron
posts can be cast they will be put in.

The Life of Miss Sarah Thatcher Saved
Last Evening by the Rare Presence OF
Mind of Andrew Hartley.
Yesterday afternoon Miss Sarah
Thatcher of this city and two other
young ladies Were walking on the R. G..
w. track. They were crossing
the bridge over Provo river just as No.
5, which leaves here for Salt Lake at
4 "a, came dashing along. The other
two ladies got over the bridge by rum
ming, but Miss Thatcher stumbled and
fell. She would certainly have been
killed but for the timely and braYe as
sistance OF Andrew Hart e. who was On
the scene who rushed on to the bridge
and with rare presence of mind picked
her up and threw her down the en-
bankm ent and then jumped after her.
As he jumped the engine passed within
a foot of his body. But for the heroic
daring of this young man a sad and
fatal accident instead of his heroism
would have been reported today, for
the young lady would certainly hsYe
lost her life.
