GOOD NEWS FROM SOUTH DA-
KOTA.

The glorious results Of this season s
harvest of golden grain will pour a
stream of sound money into the pock
cts of every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of acres
of choice farming and ranch land lying
east of the Missouri river, and within
one days ride from Chicago or Mil
waukee, which can now be bought rea-
sonably cheap. but which, before the
end OF another year may be advanced
in price.
The stock-raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, and Eastern capi-
tai is now being invested in cattle and
sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of
live stock, and the products Of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore
most in the ranks of the successful
Western states.
Those desiring full information on
the subject, and particularly those who
wish to seek a new home OF purchase
land, are requested to correspond with

WILMINGTON BOARD OF TRADE
THINKS WATER RATES TOO
HIGH. AND SAYS so.
The last meeing Of the Board of
Trade prior to the annual election of
officers occurred last evening, and 1t
was largely attended The report of
a committee, sent to visit the Phi.adel-
phia Commercial Museum, reports
favorably, and a motion to endorse
the museum was adopted.
A plan of property at Newport, suit
able for manufacturing purposes, was
submitted by William jerks Fell, and
referred to the Industrial Improve
ment Company.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate and agitate the question Of
guarantee title concern, under the
Torrents title bill, by which titles to
land are guaranteed, reported pro-
gress. Josiah Marvel was added to
this committee
No action was taken on the matter
of traffic bureau to settle claims
with railroad companies, equalize
freight rates and adjust other ques-
tions of transportation and traffic.
The River and Harbor Committee
was informed by President Lawton
that he had received information that
an appropriation of $4,000 could be
obtained for harbor improvements
and steps to secure it will at once be
made.
The matter Of water rates was taken
up George w. Bush said that the
matter had been freely discussed in
/ the newspapers and was really an i'm
portant question, especially to the
owners of property.
A. S. Reed stated that he owned a
number of houses at present unten-
anted. No water is used in them, still
water rent is charged. Times are hard,
and it is difficult to collect rents for
| those houses which are occupied.
Regarding the large surplus in the
hands of { heWater Commission, the
sense of the board was that the de-
! partment could do without so much
Chief Engineer Bond who was present,
stated that the surplus was necessary
and was according to the law. It was
needed in case of any extraordinary
| occasion. The commission had no way
of raising or borrowing money except
/ by an act of the Legislature, there
fore there had to be a surplus.
The following resolution was adopt
ed, and will be sent to the Water Com
mission:
"The Board Of Trade would respect
fully call the attention of the city
! Water Department to the fact that in
consequence of the extreme depres-
sion in real estate, the reduction of
rents and the uncertainty of their col
lection in the city, the charge for
water rent is proportionately much
higher and more onerous to property
holders than they formerly were AS
the financial statement of the depart
ment shows a large cash balance in
the treasury. over all expenses, they
would suggest the propriety of MAX
ing pro-rata reduction in the schedule
charges for the use of water for do
nestle purposes.

Elections.
Fifteen Committeeman and Three
Physicians Elected and There
Was No Row.

The members of the French Hospital and
Benevolent Society, known as La Societe
Francaise de Bienfaisance Mutuelle, yes
terday held an election of officers and
members of the committee of administra-
ton and of physicians to serve during the
coming year.
While there are more than 5000 mem
bers in the society only 555 votes were cast.
Some thirty-six ballots were irregularlv
made out on the vote for committeemen n
and were thrown out. The same was done
with sixty-six ballots illegally cast for
physicians. This left 245 as an actual ma
jority 10 elect either commute men or ply
sicians.
The old officers of the hospital were re-
elected and so were all the itteemen
who served last year.
The following are the successful candi-
dates:
Committee-Sylvain WE'LL, P Cam es,
o. Bozio, J. Deschamps, Jean Bergez, J.

Raoul Chartrey who has a strong faction
behind him, made a hard fight to get in as
committeeman but he was badly beaten,
feat is accepted as q rebuff to the ag-
gressive element which has heretofore at
tempted to control the society.
The physicians were elected as follows

that the training school was more efficient
under Miss Patton's management than it
had ever been before
The young women realize that we will
maintain discipline" he added. ''The
Board of Health will support any and
every official in doing his or her duty. No
one has ever told me of any personal dis
like toward Miss Patton, and nobody has
complained of her. She is not dictator,
and no nurse can be dismissed except
by me.
Those who have complained about Miss
Pattons orders are irresponsible persons.
We don't watch any of the nurses and we
have no nurses that need watching. When
nurse needs watching she will be dis
charged. Miss Patton and the nurses and
the internes have been misrepresented in
the papers. There is nothing in those
stories'
Despite DR.. Stables making light of the
matter and disposing of it with a pooh
pooh, it is evident that he stands on a vol
cano of pent-up nurses and internes, liable
to burst forth at any moment. The fight
in the Office the other day was only pre-
monltory puff of smoke out of the crater.
