Shortly after the Chinese Exclusion
Act was passed. the Secretary of State
received a letter from Pennsylvania,
signed by a Chinaman. The writer said
that ne had been interested in this leg
islation, and that he fell within the con-
ditions of this Act. He had come to this
country under false pretenses, and hence
he should be deported to China immedi-
ately The request was SO strange that
the Secretary of State ordered an inves-
tigation. The agent reported few days
later that the Chinamans statement
about the way in which he entered this
country was correct, and that he should
be deported. There was just one draw
back to this program, however. The Chi
naman had been convicted of murder
and sentenced to life imprisonment

A member of Congress has received a
letter from a constituent who has been
reading the many articles published re-
Gently in which doctors have asserted
that the diffusion of malaria is due to
mosquitoes, and who is much alarmed
lest his family and himself may be vic
tins Of fever thrills and ague chils in
the coming summer. This constituent
has learned also that dragon flies pursue
and kill mosquitoes. and he sends on
anxious plea to his Congressman to get
stock of dragon flies from the Agricul-
tural Department in Washington, and TO
send the insects to his home, in order
that his wife and children may be pro-
tected from Infection. It is, of course
entirely unnecessary to mention the
State from which this plaintive cry for
help goes to the national capital.

Mr.. M, E. Meyer of Los Angeles, Cal,

says:
Ny mother had been suffering
with indigestion for many years,
which continually grew worse. By
good luck we got hold OF TARO-
ENA, and mother tried II with
milk. It caused her no distress,
and she actually lived on 1t for
two years. She got stronger and
can now eat ordinary food We
ascribe this great change to
TAROENA.

Progress Of Building Operations
Made in Mitchell for 1900. .s.*.,s
Contemplated for
1901.***ss*.s

erected some few years ago, is a fine
structure and cost the citizens $4,000,
being built of stone. The Catholics of
the city also have parochial school that
has large attendance. The educa-
tional facilities of Mitchell has been one
of the features that have attracted a
great many people to make their homes
in the city.
In religious circles there is opportun-
lty for person to worship IN the various
denominations. There are eight
church buildings in the city and several
other religious societies without homes
at present.
Mitchell has splendid system of
electric lighting, sewer system and good
waterworks for fire protection and for
use of citizens. At present new artes-
ian we'll is being put down to increase
the water supply to meet the demands
OF citizens who can use the water through
the new water mains that were laid last
year and for those that are to be laid
this spring, the city council having al
ready contracted for the extension of the
mains to different portions of the city.

In Public Improvements.

Under this head much was accomp-
lished in 1000 on the streets of the city
with particular reference to cement side
walks both in the business and resi-
dence portion. Practically four blocks,
on each side of Main street, are laid in
cement walks, and receive the favorable
comment of strangers in the city, About
$500 feet of cement walks were laid in
the city during the year and this will be
enlarged this year to a greater extent
owing to the passage of an ordinance
which will require walks in the residence
portion of the city to be laid in cement.
Late in the fall work was commenced in
the laying of cement cutters and two
blocks were completed on each side of
the street. The other two will be fin
ised this spring. The city put in great
many stone crossings during the year all
over town. the old plank affairs having
been discarded some time ago, and
whenever new crossing is now put in it
is made of stone. Two blocks of Main
street were graded and put in better
condition for driving than they ever
were before and two other blocks on that
thoroughfare will be fixed in the same
manner this spring. A number of new
catch basins were also placed on Main
street for the draining of the street and
several more will be put in to complete
the system.

One of Mitchell's Successes.

One of the enterprises which is char
acteristic of the peoples energy was the
was the corn palace which was held in
September of last year. That venture
served to demonstrate to hundreds of
eastern people what the state could pro-
duce in an agricultural way and was the
means of removing the impression which
has been accepted by those OF the east
that South Dakota was not much of an
agricultural state. 1t took something of
this character to show just what could
be done and the fine display of every
thing raised in the state had its effect.
The venture was financial success for
Mitchell, every dollar of indebtedness
being paid" and there was surplus of
s4oo turned back to the subscribers.
The corn palace will be repeated this
year, or at least something that will an
swer the purpose of corn palace.

The Contemplated Improvements.

Mitchell will enjoy.her full share of
buildings this year and considerable
house building is under contemplation.
Since the first of the year some build
ing has already been accomplished.
The Fullerton Lumber Co. was the first
to break the ice in that direction and a
month ago the company practically
completed their lumber sheds, a build
ing I3oxo4, at a cost of $1,000. A. J.
Kings has about finished fine resi-
dence in the east part of the city as has
also Frank Sheperd, Several other
buildings are already under way, among
which is a modern residence being erect
ed by ]. E. Wells, another by VIM. M.
Smith, either of which will exceed a cost
of $1,000. J. E. McCaslin has finished
the excavations for fine residence and
Elijah Tillotson has large and COM
modious house very nearly enclosed. A
number of other citizens have practically
completed their arrangements for build
ing houses this season and there does
not seem to be any question but what the
improvements this year will exceed those
of last year.
The Mitchell Gazette has commenced
the erection of a new building, which
will be another of the good improve
ments for this year. The structure
will be valuable addition to the news
paper interests of Mitchell.
At the coming city election the propo-
sition will be voted upon by the people
as to the erection of city hall by the
city to not cost less than $4,000. That
the proposition will carry there can be
no doubt and that will be another enter
prise which the citizens hope to see COM
pleted before the year is closed. In
June Dakota University will have their
$3.50 structure we'll on the way, it be-
ing the aim of the management to lay
the foundation during the month of May
and have the corner stone ready for lay
ing at the commencement exercises in
June. Those two structures will add
largely to the aggregate amount of i'm
provements that will be made and swell
the sum to larger amount than was
expended in 1000.

UNDER REPUBLICAN CONTROL.
State Institutions will be Under the
Control Of Republicans as
Expressed at Polls.

Sioux Falls Argus. Leader: The dis
patch to the Argus-Leader at noon was
the first news which reached Sioux
Falls announcing the important decision
OF the supreme court on the charities
and corrections case. Republicans
were generally delighted as there has
been great desire on their part that
the state institutions should be under
the control Of the republicans, and the
fusionists, while regretting that the
OBJECT of the decision would dispossess
Warden John A. Bowler and DR.. V.
Sebiakin Ross superintendent of tho
intendent Of the state insane asylum,
we're still frank enough to say that the
decision was undoub' ed|y in accordance
with the law.
The board as it will be constituted
hereafter will consist OF four republican
and one fusionist. The republican
members are DR.. 81. M. Finnerud OF
Watertown, Jacob echnaidt of Memo,
banker, j. D. LAWN of Aberdeen, the
grand recorder of the A. o. U. w.
lodge, and W. E. Upton of Armour, an
attorney. The only fusionist member
will be George w. Kingsbury OF Yank-
ton, who has been on the board since
1898.
The board as claimed by the fusionists
consisted of Kingf bury, Bacon, Smith.
Finnerud and Sohnaidt but this board
was enjoined from acting and is now
declared illegal by the decision of the
supreme court.
1t is we'll undertood that o. S. Sven
son of this city the chairman OF the
county central committee will be elect-
ed warden of the penitentiary to sue
ceed John A. Bowler, and that DR.. L. G
Mead who was for years superintendent
of the insane asylum at Yankton will ba
returned to the position which he filled
80 we'll. There is nothing determined
as to who is to get the superintendcy Of
the state reform school or could it be-
learned whether Prof. James Simpson
will be left undisturbed at the deaf
mute school.

SCRAPPING AMONG MUTUALS.
Impending Trouble Among Mutual
Insurance Companies Over
Raising Insurance Rates.

Chamberlain special: There ia at
present considerable of a war on be-
tween the mutual insurance companies
doing business in South Dakota under
the state law. There are eight of such
companies, and recently five of these
entered into an agreement to raise
rates from 10 to 80 per cent, those on
the outside being the Chamberlain and
Mitchell companies. Since then quite
q fire has been concentrated upon the
Mitchell and Chamberlain companies
by those in com binatior, in order to at
tempt to head off large volume of
business from drifting into those COM
of those in combination, and merry
war is the result.

Farming Country Behind the Town

Mitchell can lay claim to as good an
agricultural constituency as any town in
the state. In the past two or three years
there has been decided change for the
better in the farmers around the city.
They have gone into more diversified
farming, are patronizing the creamery
to a larger extent and have invested
their savings in cattle with the result
that there are any number of them in
good financial condition There has
been fine increase in the population of
the farming class and an immense
quantity of land has been bought by
Iowa farmers who have moved here and
taken possession of their land, The in
fux this season has been very large and
not less than forty different families have

The above list of builders and improv-
ers of property yrepresentthe expenditure
OF very large sum of money on their
homes, and it tells story of faith and
confidence in the future of their home
town. 1t brings to the attention of the
outside person the fact that Mitchell is
destined to acquire greater Importance
as the years go by. There is hardly a
place in the state that offers better op-
portunity for the investment of funds
than right here, and those owning prop
erty are not making any particular effort
to sell only at an advance that is realiz-
ing them fair profit.

The List of Improvements.

In this last year of building there has
been no large structure that has cost
such great amount of money as to
make the sum of Mitchells building run
into the hundreds of thousands. Our
growth has been of the kind that has
been promulgated solely by the citizens
and consists principally of the erection
of residences, although several new busi-
ness blocks were put up during the year.
Many of the homes erected were of the
modern style, containing connection
with the sewerage, city water, bath and
the improved heating apparatus. Mitch
ell can boast of as many fine improve
ment in this direction as any city in the
state. Below will be found a list of the
new houses that were erected during
1000:

The above list comprises practically,
with possibly few exceptions which
may have escaped notice, the new build
ing operations for the year. Aside from
the list number of new barns were
erected in the city which would swell
the aggregate sum of the new improve
ments, and among these may be noticed
James Lyons, Robert Wilkinson, Mrs.
Walstrum, C. G.. Cowhick.
In the way of improvements, such as
addition and otherwise enlargement of
houses the list is quite large. The
amount invested in each instance could
not be ascertained but they range all the
way from $500 to 5000. Following is the
list of those people who made invest

Big Sales of Real Estate.

The amount of real estate that has
been transferred in this county in the
past twelve months perhaps tells the
story in the plainest way of the manner
in which the good land in this county is
appreciated. The following indicates
the amount of land transferred each
month and the amount of money involv-
ed in the transactions as shown by the
register of deeds office:

A FIGHT IN COURT.
Lee County District Court Holds an
Exciting Session.

Lee County District Court Holds an
Exciting Session.
Special to Times Republican.
Ksokuk. March 9.-Lee county's dis
trict court yesterday broke the record
for sensational sessions in this county
The Oldest member of the bar can recall
nothing similar to the scenes enacted
in the court house yesterday. 1t was in
the removal of Assignee Hemingway
from control of the defunct Ward
Drug Company that the sensation de-
sveloped. 1t had been charged that a
fraud had been perpetrated and an or
der of the court removed Hemingway
as assignee and appointed in his stead
James H. Anderson.
When the assignees attorney read
the motion charging fraud he said in his
characteristic way that it was a lot OF
lies, and went on to apply his remarks
to the lawyer who filed it. The attorney
for the drug company retorted to the
effect that the other was certain kind
of thief, and the other kept UP his tao
tics by striking the lawyer lightly on
the chin.
Then it looked like a Kansas cyclone
for minute. 1t took all the thirteen
lawyers in the case to separate Them
and Judge Bank said that later they
could show cause why they should not
be punished for contempt of court.
