CHAMBERLAIN, s. D.


Government inspectors have taken up per-
Snanent residence in Pierre and Chamberlain,
to put a stop to fraudulent hornesteading, in
territorial or otherwise, and hundreds of claims
nave already been Cancelled as obtained in
bad faith, costing the filers from $50 to 5000
ech.. Government land locaters are charged
by the inspectors with fraud in representing
to prospective claimants that it is not neces-
sary to reside on the land after taking claims,
when, as a matter of fact, homesteads can be
secured without residence only by perjury.
In two days, at the Chamberlain registry Of
fee, hfty-nine claims were Cancelled. To
combat the invasion Of government officers,
the professional locaters have organized pro.
tective association. This association will build
7x9 shanty for s35, putting in a table, mat
tress and stove. They will have men to keep
the fires lighted in the shanties and to explain
the absence of the claimants when the in
spector comes around. But the inspectors an
nource this will not do and they are making
a vigorous search for all claims upon which
actual residence is not maintained, and re-
porting them for cancellation.

weather the theater was kept comfort able and cool by the numerous electric fans.
 The leading feature of the bill was the famous Piccolos midgets in a very re- markable acrobatic act. These little people present a very clever feat and the wrestling match kept the audience on the anxious seat They give fine exhibition and won constant applause. which was acknowledged by the mem Der who does the least of the acrobatic work, causing thereby no end of amuse- ment.
 The next feature was the one-act playlet by Will M. Cressey and pre- sented by Francesca Bedding. assisted by capable company, including the following:
 Her Friend from Texas" Captain Tom Darlington, U. $. A.
 (perhaps) ............. Frank Holland Willie Wilkins, society bud ......
 ......................... Arthur Larkin James, butler ............ Ralph Morse Mrs. Knickerbocker, a rich widow
 from Denver ........... Miss Bedding
 Place, New York city. Time, S:S0.
 The action is rapid and snappy and keeps the interest lively. It deals with a Denver widow who inserts an adver- tisement in the papers that she wishes a husband. A dapper little young man calls and between his embarrassment and fright tells her his papa sent hin. as he was tired of supporting him and though he could land the widow. Will lie Wilkins gives a good idea of just what such a young man ought to be. Everything looks serene for Willie until g Captain Darlington appears on the scene. The captain Is bully and frightens Willie almost into mysteries. The fact of these two being on the same errand causes no end of amuse- ment. One insults the other and duel is proposed, but before taking place the bully is scared and Willie stands the better show of securing the widow. It is a bright little sketch.
 The Twins Nice do neat little danc- ing and singing act. Corbly and Burke. the Irish noblemen, have one of those lively acts which keeps one in roars Of laughter and have with them some of the latest jokes. Their work is wook.
 The Wangdoodle quartet of black face singers are exceptionally good and had to respond to several encores. James F. Kelley and Dorothy Kent have pret- ty little sketch.
 The singing of Warren and Blanchard are one of the good features of their act Edward Estus. the famous gym mast and wonderful equilibrist, also ap- pears.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater. WARD AND VOKES.


 Anyone who saw Ward and Vokes' production of "The Head Walters" last year will remember with pleasure the rich burlesque on the war drama Shenandoah" In the new edition of this vehicle which Ward and Vokes will show us at the Hyperion on Satur- day next, September 6, matinee and night, this burlesque feature has been retained and will be we'll worth seeing again. It bears decidedly Weber, Field flavor and as the closing half hour of an evening which has been de- voted to music almost entirely, 1t is a most decided treat. Almost every theatergoer has seen some one of the many plays and though this burlesque is more particularly aimed at Senan- doah it smacks of all of them. Happy Ward, Harry Vokes, Margarey Daily Vokes, Lucy Daly, Allan Curtis, Joe Kelly. Tony Williams, and the entire company are seen to excellent advant- age. There will be a bargain matinee at which prices will be 25c, S5c. 50c, 75c and $1.
 Daniel SulIy appeared at the Hyper ion yesterday afternoon and evening in The Parish Priest written by Daniel Hart. The play is one which by the graphic lesson it teaches of faith. hope and charity draws out the finer feelings of all who witness it, MT Sully was supported by an excellent company The attendance was not very large, as it was so warm yesterday that the ma- iority of the people patronized the shore resorts. afH

AT FISK'S DRIVING PARK
 SPECIAL TRAIN OF 12 CARS.

Three Races Decided-No Protests and No Aeeidsnts-FIrst Glass Patronage sunera Had to Pace Mile in 2.16 I-2 to win-The Summarizes
 The patronage was first-class at L. A. Fisk's Branford driving park yester- day afternoon when the races were de- cided to the evident satisfaction of the large number of spectators on the cov- cred grandstand, the bleacherS and the comfortable shade of the club house verandah. Other patrons were seated in stylish teams in favorable locations. Patronage could have been more exten- siye but couldn't have been better in quality. The long train of twelve cars that left New Haven at a convenient hour Qt30) after the usual dinner time, was taxed to the number of seats in the coaches. Stylish girls in gay sum- mer attire and pretty ladies in attrac- tive summer colors were numerous on the train both with and without escorts.
 At the park the grandstand was soon occupied by an audience that was largely composed of women while the gentlemen present were in various To- cations.
 Frank L. Newton gave the word to the drivers and acted as one of the judges. Other judges were Louis A. Fisk and Robert H. Meachen. The de- tails os tke race were recorded for the National Trotting Association by D. B. Ambler. One hundred dollars was won by c. o. D., $50 by Paper Boy, s30 by Wallace L.
