JUDGE KELLAM RESIGNS,
Accused of q Gross Crime ana
His Resignation De-
manded.

Judge Kellum, Of the Supreme
Court of South Dakota has rendered
his resignation to the governor, and
the governor has accepted 1t. His sue.
cessor will be appointed at once.
He is openly accused Of taking lib
critics with q child in his Office at
night and taking advantage Of another
mans wife when she was under the In.
fluence of morphine. The reluctance
Of the victim to be dragged into the
publicity Of the courts is the only
reason he is not now under arrest at
this time.
The charges were OF such enormity
that it was hard to credit them until
backed by we'll founded reports that
they had been admitted by Kellam
himself. When the rumors which had
been floating for several days vera
presented in the way OF q charGt
against him, Kellam was called before
the governor and q demand was made
upon him for his resignation, no for.
NAL written notice being given. The
pressure was such that he atonce tend.
cred his resignation to take effect
forthwith, no one would take the nee.
essary steps to call him to an account
ing, and while it was supposed that he
would be arrested at any moment, no
one would take the initiative step,
giving as the reason that they would
not drag innocent families into the
publicity of u trial

Des Moines River Claims.

Des M0inos River Claims.
OF the 500 applications for indemni-
ty filed by settlers on the Des Moines
river lands Special Agent Berner held
for rejection as not COM
ing within the act, allowed about half
the balance, some of them reduced
very much below the amounts claim
ed, and the balance will be presented
to congress with q recommendation
from Secretary Smith that an appro.
prlation be made to cover the amounts
that Mi. Berner finds these settlers
are entitled too under the provisions
Of the act. The last congress only ap-
~propriated 100000 to pay these set
tiers. But this will not cover all the
awards made by Mr.. Berner, conse-
quently an additional appropriation
will be necessary. This matter will be
passed upon by the house committee
on public lands, of which Mr.. Lacey
is chairman, and the senate committee
on appropriations, at the head of
which is Senator Allison. SO that there
is q very good chance of favorable &C.
ton in both houses.

An Agricultural Boom.

Britton, S. D.-The prospects for
Marshall county look brighter than
they have for several years, and it is
the prevailing opinion that a larger
acreage of crops will be put in this
year than since the boom days. The
people have awakened to the fact that
diversified farming pays, and they are
going on that principle he~nceforward.
Artesian irrigation is receiving the at
tenti0n of our farmers at present, and
the chances are good for several more
wells to 60 down the coming year. It
is NOR than likely that several cream
cries will be established in this county
the coming year, and some three or
four are in embroy at present.
