tract labor law. Mr.. Nubur, however,

Fighting American Beef.

The ReichsanZeiger German official
organ) publishes a decree issued by DR..
Struckmann, president of the Rhine Prov
incc at AiX-la~C ~Chapelle, prohibiting the
importation of fresh beef. The dccara-
ton, which is similar to the regulation
ordered by the Oldenburg Government, is
due to the fact that Belgium, having again
permitted the importation of live cattle
from the United States for slaughter, the
meat found its way across the Belgian
frontier into Germany in contraventiOn of
the existing law against such Importation.

Old Soldier Insane as the Result of
4 Practical Joke.

Old Soldier Insane as the Result Of
Il Practical Joke.
An old soldier named Reuben Vale has
been taken to Rapid City from the western
partof Pennington County. and is laboring
under mental arrangement sad to see.
His trouble has been brought on through
practical jokes OF some of his neighbors,
who have played upon his imagination.
He has been carrying two siX-shooters and
rifle for some time about his ranch watt
ing for an attack by his neighbors and for
while he slept nights with a string of
giant powder sticks around his bed. Re-
Gently he received his pension and with
some other men went to Newcastle. There
everyone got drunk and noisy and the
party was locked up. The following day
the Old man was arrested and tried in
mockery by his friends, having been ac-
cused of cattle stealing. 1t has worked
upon the old mans mind very much and
he is constantly in fear lest the Cattlemen's s
Association will hang him. He has an
honorable record in the civil war.

Kick on Press Censorship.
Constantly increasing strictnesS IN the
censorship of press dispatches from Manila,
which prevented the cabling to the United
States Of anything that did not reflect Off
cial views Of important events and condi-
tions, resulted in united effort on the
part of correspondents in Manila to secure
an abatemen of the rigor of censorship.
The initiative in this direction, taken
month ago, has resulted in the framing of
statement which was presented on Sun
day, July 8, to Gen. Otis, with request
for permission to telegraph it to the United
States. The correspondents also asked
that they be allowed to telegraph their
respective papers all the facts and DIFF
ferent phases of events as they trans
pired there. The correspondents had two
long interviews with Gen. Otis, in the
course of which they complained of the
evident purpose of censorship, not to keep
information from the enemy, but to keep
from the public the knowledge of the real
condition of affairs there. 1t was asserted
by correspondents that newspapers printed
in Manila, which reach the enemy quickly,
are permitted to publish statements similar
to those which correspondents are for
hidden to cable. 1t was made clear to
Gen. Otis that the objection was to the
system and not to the censor. Gen. Otis
finally promised greater liberty, agreeing
to pass all matter that he might consider
not detrimental to the interests of the
United States. Gen. Otis appointed Capt,
Greene of his staff as censor.

NEW RESERVOIR LAW.
The Measure is Disappointment to
Many Iand Owners.


Many Land Owners.
The general land Office at Washington
has sent to the land Office of Rapid City an
amendatory circular relative to the new
reservoir law. 1t gives the law a different
meaning than that generally held, and it
is Il disappointment to many, who had con-
strued it to mean that any one could fence
several quarter sections of ground in q
block, leaving only the repcrvoir unfenced.
This would have been great thing for the
cattle owners. The new Interpretation of
the law allows but forty acres of land to
be reserved for reservoir holding half a
million gallons of water. Eighty acres
can be held for reservoir holding half Il
million gallons and no less than million.
For reservoir of a million gallons and
not less than million and half gallons,
12O acres can be reserved. For more than
million and a half gallons, 100 acres may
be held. Not more than 100 acres can be
reserved in one group of tracts adjoining
or corncring upon each other.
