Rival Companies Of Indians
Contesting for Valuable
Find on Reservation.
RESERVOIR ACT RULING
Secretary OF the interior Holds the
Law Applies to Coded Portions
OF Sioux LunGs-Compula
sorry Vaccination.

Sioux Falls, S. d. April An Incl
dent on the Rosebud Indian reservation
illustrates the progress which some of
the Sioux Indians are making toward
civilization. A number of Rosebud
Indians discovered what they believed
to be a low-grade gold property and
formed a company for the purpose OF
working the ground. Their secret
leaked out, as such secrets will, and
some OF their envious brethren organ
lied a rival company with the object
OF jumping" the same ground. At
present the members of the rival COM
panies are watching each other very
closely, the discoveries of the supposed
gold mine for the purpose of preventing
their rivals jumping" the ground,
and the latter for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the first opportunity,
when the locaters of the mine temper
arily relax their vigilance, to take pos
session of the mine. The reservation
is, under the law, held in common by
all the Indians belonging on it, and
this prevents the discoveries of the
mine from locating it under the min
ing laws for mining purposes and thus
removing the possibility of rivals Sc
curing possession of it.

REDUCING ITS DEBTS.
Lawredcc County is In Good FInan-
.e- cial Condition.

Deadwood, S. D., April S.--Lawrence
county has finally disposed of the ac-
cumulated coupons and interest on the
per cent bonds that were repudiated
by the county commissioners some ten
years ago. The issue repudiated
amounted to $4,000. The bondholders,
brought suit and won their case in the
supreme court after long and expensive
litigation, the coupons and interest on
these bonds accommodating until they
amounted to $4,000. All Indebtedness
involved by the litigation has also been
wiped out, and the county is in good
financial condition at the present time,
compared with what it was ten or fif-
teen years ago, when the bonded and
floating Indebtedness amounted to
something like 100000, the greater por-
ton of which was in s and 10 per cent
bonds and { per cent warrants. There
are no outstanding warrants now, and
the total Indebtedness is $493,05 To
offset this the county has $4,000 Of
Meade county warrants and judg-
ment against that county amounting
with interest to $49,022. 1t holds Butte
county warrants to the amount of ST..
2OO and the cash on hand is $7S,772.92.
The county's incumbrance is expected
to be reduced during the present year.

Rnmor Father Kelly Had Become
Unbalanced Is Dsnjed,

Yankton, S. D., April 4.-The rumor
to the effect that Father Kelly, the Elk
Point priest, had gone insane over his
troubles, is, according to those in close
touch with him. absolutely without any
foundation. Father Kelly is we'll known
to have a vigorous intellect and is pos
sessed Of a ripe and sound judgment in
temporal affairs that will stand him in
good stead in the misfortunes that have
overtaken him. The bare possibility Of
his going insane is secuted by those
he is associated with here. Father
Kelly was out driving yesterday and
was looking remarkably well for all
that he has gone through. Careful in
quiry here has failed to show the
slightest excuse for the rumor of his
losing his mind.

His early death Is sincerely regretted.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Reservoir Act Held to Apply on. Coded
Lands.

Chamberlain, S. D., April 7.--Great
interest has been created throughout
the range country in a decision of the
secretary of the interior reversing the
ruling of the officers Of the local Unit
ed States land office in holding that the
reservoir act did not apply to the ceded
portions of the great Sioux reservation.
This point has been q matter of cOnten-
ton before the land department for the
past two years. and there are many
cases that will be affected by the de-
cision of the secretary in extending the
operations of that act to these lands.
Attorney w. J. Farmer of this city
alone has more than thirty cases in
volved in the issue. which he has been
prosecuting in support of the reservoir
act.
According to the decision entries are
therefore allowed under the reservoir
act on all lands not previously appro-
priated under other entries on all lands
-ceded by the Sioux Indians, as in the
case of other public lands. Under it's
terms a claimant may file reservoir
declaratory statement upon any un-
claimed public lands, and the claimant
is entitled to the exclusive benefits of
the claim SO long as he maintains in
perfect order a reservoir capable OF
holding not less than 100000 gallons
or water, which dam must be complet-
ed within sixty days from the time of
making filing. The filing merely OPP
crates to segregate the lands from the
public lands, and the title, remains with
the government.
The decision, which is the most inn
portant handed down in some time, may
result in considerable confusion. as
quite number of homestead filings
have been accepted by the local office
on lands which were claimed previous
~ under the reservoir act.

Sioux Falls Republicans Come
Out Strong for Municipal
Ownership.
HAMILTON DIVORCE CASE
Noted New York Physician Has Mar
itnl Bonds Severed and Forms
New Ones-Serious Gut
ting Scrape.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April Sat a city
convention of Sioux Falls republicans
the following ticket was placed in
nomination for the regular municipal
election, to be held on the 18th inst:
Mayor-George w. Burnside.
City Treasurer-John Olson.
Police Justice-HGeorge A. Ludlow.
City Justice-A. B. Wheelock.
The most significant feature of the
convention was the nature of the RESP
lutlons adopted in reference to the liti-
cation pending between the city and
the private company which furnishes
the city with water. The resolutions
in this connection say:
We denounce the Sioux Falls Water
company for it's Migrant failure to fur
nish this city with an adequate supply
Of wholesome water, for it's eXorbitant
rates and unWarranted restrictions, for
Its efforts to block the action of the
council looking to lower rates and bet
ter service and for it's corrupt efforts
to defeat the will Of the people at the
polls, and its unwarranted attempt to
hinder their purpose in the courts. We
especially commend the mayor and
council for the initiatory steps taken
by them to establish, at the expiration
or the present contract with the water
company, a water system to be owned,
managed and controlled by the city.
we soidly support every step taken.
and pledge our nominees to an ener-
getic and unrelenting prosecution of
the issue and the suits instituted by
the water company, and promise that
every effort shall be employed to es-
tabish in this city at the expiration of
the present contract the municipal
waterworks which were proposed by
the present administration, and for
which the people have overwhelmingly
voted"
This means a finish fight between the
city and the private water company.
At special election some months ago
the voters of Sioux Falls authorized the
issuance OF bonds in the sum of $216,-
900 for the construction Of a municipal
waterWOrkS system. The water COM
pany then instituted suit seeking to
prevent the establishment of the vs.
tenn by the city, and also asked for an
injunction preventing the going into
effect of an ordinance materially de-
creasing the present water rates. These
suits are now pending.

STILL in FIRST CLASS.
Business Of Sioux Falls Postoftice
lncreaoinq.

Sioux Falls, s. D., April 3.-When
during the political campaign of 1900
the receipts of the local postoffice was
swelled from about 900 to over $40,-
900, the latter figures being necessary
to make this a first class Office, there
We're few who believed that the re-
ceipts would be sufficient to keep the
Office in this class. However, the year
which has just closed has not only seen
the increase of 1900 but has given the
total slight boost placing it at SAL
PATS, which will leave theoffice among
the first class for ttleast another year.
This increase in the postal receipts is
an indication of the growth Of the bust
ness of the city which is taking rapid
steps forward.

The japanese dentist does not fright

The japanese dentist does not fright
en- his patient with an array Of steel
instruments. All his operations in
withdrawing are performed by the
thumb and forefinger of one hand. The
skill necessary to do this is acquired
only after long practice, but, when
once it is obtained, the operator is able
to extract half a dozen teeth in about
thirty seconds, without once removing
his fingers from the patients mouth.
The dentists education commences
with the pulling out Of plugs which
have been pressed into soft wood; it
ends with drawing hard pegs which
have been driven into an oak plank
with a heavy mallet
