VICTORY FoR THE SON.
h Estate Of the Late Isaac w. Turne
Ordered Distributed.

The Estate Of the Late Isaac w. Turner
Ordered Distributed.
Sioux Falls. s. D., Jan. IA contest
possessing novel and sensational fea-
lures for possession Of a valuable
estate, has just been disposed OF here.
About a year ago Isaac w. Turner, an
old resident, died leaving $4,000 cash
and property. A contest was immedi-
ately begun for possession Of his estate
by Jacob Turner OF Sioux Falls, o
brother Of deceased, and Charles w.
Turner, also of Sioux Falls, who based
his claim upon h ground that he was
an illegitimate son OF Isaac Turner and
produced documents signed by Isaac
Turner acknowledging the relationship.
George w. Krouse and Alice Krouse
Hess OF Pennsylvania were also claim
ants. They alleged that they were the
children of an illegitimate daughter of
Isaac Turner. At the commencement
OF the struggle for the estate the claim
ants agreed upon the appointment of
A. b. Wheelock Of this city as admin
istrator. A short time e h case
came up before County Judge Wilkes
when testimony in substance as given
above was submitted by the opposing
claimants. After having the matter
under advisement since the hearing
Judge Wilkes has just rendered a deci-
sion, In which he awards the estate to
Charles w. Turner and orders It's i'm
mediate distribution.

PROMISES TO Be A
GOOD YEAR IN TRADE
indications Are That the Record OF
1900 will Be Repeated
This Year.
OLD WAGE SCALES MAINTAINED
rho Great Iron and Steel Concerns Adopt
Agreements Of tho Past Year-Wheat
Decline the Note worthy
Feature I'm Staples.

New York, Jan. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review Of Trade says:
In spite Of the Interruptions Of the
holiday and OF the unusually heavy
annual settlements In all lines Of bust
ness. the new year opens with indica-
tons Of further progress. In some de-
partments OF cotton goods there Is a
better movement. though speculation
has depressed the price OF the raw ma
terial. Otherwise a decline In wheat Is
the only noteworthy movement In t
pies. 1t is explained by a reduction In
the -four output at Minneapolis, some
mills shutting down, while the foreign
demand at Atlantic seaboard cities Is
not brisk.
The IRON and steel industry Ia on
such a firm foundation that most large
concerns have maintained wages at
the old scale, instead OF making the
reductions anticipated. Iron ore prices
are also unchanged. Coke Is firmly
held at Connellsville, and there are
fewer idle ovens. while the much dis
cussed fall in prices appears confined
to inferior qualities at outside fur
naces. Pig iron sells freely for deliv-
cry up to April, and there Is no indi-
cation OF weakness. All finished prod
ucts are eagerly sought, many large
contracts having been placed for
structural material, and others are un-
der consideration. An American COM
pany is the lowest bidder for the large
bridge at Sydney harbor, Australia.
The purchase OF 700 acres near Pitts
burg by a leading steel company lndi-
Gates great enlargement OF it's plant.
Aside from one reduction Of wages at
blast furnaces In the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys, the weeks news Is
most encouraging.
The market for textiles has been fea-
tureless. as the holidays and stock TAX
ng reduced business to limited dimen-
sions. Wool has again declined. Sales
at the three chief eastern markets
mounted to only 1921 900 pounds for
the week. An abnormally high price
for raw material acts as a check on the
cotton goods industry. Local Jobbing
and retail trade Is brisk in boots n
shoes, and many manufacturers are be-
hind with orders. Sole leather Is pur-
chased freely, but less activity In up
per tends to weaken prices. For the
first time In many weeks there was
'ome recovery In hides at Chicago.

AFFECTS MITCHELL rLANr.
Failure OF the ~Champeny Creamery Com
pany of milwaukee,.


Mitchell, s.. d., Jan. Word was re-
ceived that the Champery Creamery
company, Of Milwaukee, Wis, had
gone into bankruptcy. This company
owns and operates "a creamery and
Swimming station In this city, and the
farmers have been waiting an indefi.
mite length Of time for a settlement.
The company has not made any pay
mcnts for October and November, and
is indebted to It's payments here about
81, 500.
The Milwaukee manager was in the
city about ten days ago and practically
had made all arrangements for leasing
he creamery to w parties here, the
agreement being that the patrons were
to be paid what was due them. After
the Milwaukee manager returned the
leasing feature was dropped for some
reason and nothing has been heard
from the matter until notice was re-
celved OF the bankruptcy action. Fri
day morning the local manager of the
Champeny company opened the cream
cry, which had been closed a week
waiting for developments, and stated
hat he would run from month TO
month and would see that the patrons
would get their money for the Deem
her milk.

OUGHT TO BE PROUD or IT.
Our Congress Most Interesting Body o.
Men In the World.

Our Congress Most Interesting Body OF
Men In the World.
Ainslee's: The congress OF the United
States is the most interesting body OF
men In the world. 1t comes nearer TO
being a representative body than any
other that ever existed. 1t Is the micro
cosm OF the republic. presenting In con-
centration all the extraordinary peculiar
tiles g. the nation whose work II Is Sc
lected TO perform. It's average Of ability
is higher than that Of any other parlia-
mentary body on earth. Each OF Its
members represents a larger constitu-
ency than is represented by any single
member Of a European parliament, and
with very few exceptions each member is
a good representative Of the constituency
for which he stands. Those who sneer
at congress and at congressman sneer at
the voters who selected them. Luckily
that sort Of thing is going out Of fash
ion. People are beginning to appreciate
getting better all the time.
There are very few members either OF
the house or OF the senate who are not
Of native birth. To be exact, there are
Just sixteen representatives and six SEN
ators who were not born In the United
States. In the Fifty-sixth congress-, curl
Henderson, the speaker. who is a Scotch
man. But he Is as genuine an American
as there is In the land. Considering the
proportion OF foreign to native-born In
the United States. the percentage Is in
significant, especially When II Is remem-
bered that the average member of con-
gress is one who has been given to NOV
ing about the world and shifting his en-
vironment. Out Of 1862 members of the
present house only 27 represent the
states in which they were born, and OF
this number only q few still live in the
congressional district where they first
saw light. The average congressman Is
a hustler; He has been ambitious or else
place. That he has been successful in
some measure goes without saying. and
the fact that SO many Of them have
broken away from their early surround
ings, and have gained new successes In
new fields. simply goes to show some-
thing Of the energy and force that have
helped to make the American congress
what It Is.

The National John Brown Memorial
association, organized in st. Paul in
1895, that IL has raised $1,000
OF. the $4,000 needed for the proposed
monument, and expects to raise the
remainder I'm a few weeks. The design
is eighteen feet in height, with a bronze
figure Of John Brown holding a sword
In his right hand and Il nude negro in
FAINT on his left arm. The idea of the
child was suggested by Mrs. Martha
Davis, now living at a little Michigan
town, who is the only survivor of the
sixteen brothers and sisters OF Mr..
Brown. Mrs. Davis suggested the nude
Infant, as she said II was symbolical OF
that for which her brother gave up his
life. The figure is to rest on a heavy
granite base, eignt feet high, with the
following inscription: John Brown.
Hero OF Qsawatomie. Seized al Har-
per's Ferry, Va, 1859. Died December,
1859. Time will place a more charitable
construction on the incentive to the
deed Of John Brown. What value my

There Is a man in our company"
says a Philadelphia stage manager,
who hasn't drunk a drop of water In
twenty-seven years. He boasts OF Il.
He Is always the first man into the
theater for n performance, and Is as
regular as clockwork at rehearsals. No,
he isn't a 'rummy." In fact, liquor Is
most repus ant to him. But for TWEEN
ty-seven years he has drunk nothing
but tea, and he will probably continue
In his present course until he dies. He
carries his little portable gas arrange
ment about with him, and between the
acts he makes strong tea-the strong
est you ever tasted-in his dressing
room, attaching his little heater to the
gas fixture with a rubber tube. When
this Is impossible he carries n bottle Of
cold tea In his pocket, and when on a
long run on the train the other mem
bers of the company are yearning for a
drink the old man just pulls out his
bottle OF cold tea and is happy"
