At The Soldiers Home.

Last week the second meeting for the
wear of the board of directors of the
the Soldiers Home WAS held at the
Home from Wednesday until Friday
afternoon.
The entire board was present. Sec
Van Osdel was accompanied by his
wife, and Col. Dewey by his only
daughter. The ladies had never Wis
tied the Home before.
Commander and Mrs. Linn have
been long enough in the Home to dem
onstrate their ability and fitness for
the arduous positions that they we're
elected to.
Mrs. Linn is model housekeeper
and lady of rare taste, the effect of
which is everywhere seen, while she has
the rare gift of executive ability.

that Lucas and Megrew began for

bers. Ninety per cent of the members
are sober and gentlemanly and they
ask why should our lives be made
miserable by the other tenth? And
the management answers, you shall not
be- made miserable-if we discharge
them all. If men love whiskey better
than they do good home let them
have the whiskey and provide their own
home.
One of the great necessities always
has been for water on the Home
grounds. To provide this, more than q
year ago All artesian we'll was begun

bearing rock appearances indicate that
there will soon be plenty ofgood water
on the Home grounds-ready for use
on emergencies.

Messrs. Van Osdel and Guderson are
both successful business men and are
valuable reinforcements to the board
There are now 1863 on the rolls and
thirty more applications have been &C
cepted So that the Home bids fair t,

On the whole everything is satisfac

Good Year For I'll. sheep Men.

A Huron special says: While in the
city. Edwin Squirting, the we'll known
sheep breeder and wool grower, of
Brookings county. said that the sheep
and wool industry in South Dakota is
OIL the up grade and to stay. Sheep
men generally. he says. are giving
more careful attention to their tlocks
so far as quality is concerned. than
ever before; they find it more profitable
to keep fewer good sheep than many
poor ones Wool this season was a
fairly profitable crop. while mutton
brought good prices. Mr.. Squirting
was on his way to North Dakota to buy
Car load of fine sheep for his ranch
near Brookings.

Many Cattle Being Disposed OF To The
Farmers In The Feeding Stotes

Geo. M. Carleton. travelling rep
resentative of the stock yards comp
any, has returned from an extended
trip through the range country about
Pierre and Chamberlain, South Dakota.
Mr.. Carleton says that the larger per
centage of the range cattle has already
been sent to market or has been pur-
chased by eastern farmers and feed
ers and shipped direct to the feed lots.
He said more cattle had been disposed
of in this manner on the range than
had been sent to market, and the
probabilities at present are that a great
many more will be sold direct to the
farmers, as hardly day passes but
buyers from the feeding states put in
an appearance and purchase what they
need, be it one car load or ten. Mr..
Carleton has been in touch with the
rangemen during the season, and he
says they are feeling iubilant over the
fact that they were able to make dis
position of their feeding cattle OH the
range for more than they could pos
sibly have received at any market in
the country. Tho influx of buyers to
the range counties only served to put
prices above what the cattle we're
legitimately worth at market, and
while it was profitable for the ranch.
man he believes that the buyers will
discover their error when the full re.
turns are in and that another year will
find them at the market for their sup
plies.-SiouX City journal.

AGREEMENT ON RATES
Representatives. of the Water. Light y
Power Co. and Council COinnit-
tee Get Together at Last.

AS announced in the last issue of
the STAR Messrs. q. w. Wattles and
w. w. Marsh, of Omaha, who own a
controlling interest in the Water, Light
l. Power Co. business of this city, ar
rived Monday morning to confer with
the water and light committee of the
council upon the reduction of rates.
They succeeded in reaching an agree
ment, which will no doubt be ratified
by the council. According to this
agreement the city water hydrant rate
will be $50 IA year each for the first 30
hydrants; $50 year each for the next
20 hydrants; $40 year for all over 80.
They could not agree on arc light rates
for the city, but probably will later
On water rates for residences it
was fixed at $40 Il year, with privilege
of Watering a horse or COW; store rate
was fixed at Sl2 per annum; lawn rate
was fixed at 50 for fifty feet or less, and
81 for between fifty and one hundred
feet; lawn season to be from April 10
to October ID.
Bath tub rates are changed from s24
to S6 a year.
Incandescent light rates are not
changed.
All bills are to be quarterly in ad-
vance at the office of the company by
the 10th of the month. While we have
not made comparative examination
of the rates, we believe it is very ac-
ceptable reduction, and that the public
generally will be satisfied with the
rates agreed upon. No doubt the COM
mittee and the company have given
the matter much careful attention and
it will be gratifying to the people to
have the matter finally and definitely
settled, which will i'll all probability be
done at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil.

to the "fair grounds" where the most
gorgeous crystalization, representing
frost work, covers everything. The
scenery is dazzling in its snow like
beauty, and coupled with the awesome
sensation, that you are nearly 500 feet
below daylight and three miles into the
mountain, the mind grows dizzy. The
cave is perfectly dry, and with two
guides-one il. front and one in the
rear of the party-it makes the ex-
ploration easy, safe and pleasant. Our
party was photographed by flash light
in one of the rooms, the sensation was
very peculiar by reason of the absolute
darkness. Indeed, here the darkness
can be ''cut with a knife," as the say
ing goes. Chaos could not be more
desolate, and the day when the ''earth
was without form and void" could not
equal that five minutes in the dark
ness of the cave. The guides explain
ed everything and illuminated all the
rooms with calcium light as we passed
along-the candles carried by the party
being extinguished.
The entire trip was a most pleasant
and profitable one and it was with
reluctance that we bade adieu to the
jolly party.
If you are tout of sorts", dear read
ers," don't fail to go on the next ex-
cursion to Hot Springs. Here you can
recreate and obtain perfect results.

THEY ARE ALL POETS.
The shakespeare Club Devotes an After
noon to Writing Rhymes.

Mrs. James Bradley entertained the
Shakespeare Club Tuesday after
noon. One of the features of
the delightful afternoon was a
demand upon those present for
rhymes of precisely four lines
and were given ten minutes time for it
of course they have all become poets
and it was easy enough for them to
dash off something that had merito.
rious jingle.
The husbands of the members OF
this club suspected all the while that
their wives were not burning midnight
oil in vain during the past five years
and were confident that some day they
would be handsomely repaid for the
many anxious hours spent in caring
for the babies and other innumerable
miseries that they have tried to forget
But now all are recompensed! For
here is poetry" that is sure to cause
the great bard whose works the women
have been studying, and whose name
their club bears, turn over in his grave
with envy-or pride.
After each lady had read the
result of her efforts they all thought
the rhymes so good they would have
them printed, and motion was there
fore unanimously carried that the
s'poetry" be sent to the STAR for pub
lication, and here it is:
