understand.why the same storms
that visit Minne sofa and Iowa
do not prevail in central South
Dakota as well. And when they
have zero weather with a foot of
snow, they naturally conclude
that north and west of them we
must have still colder weather
and more snow. But such is
never the case. The only logical
reason for this differences is the
dryness of the climate here, and
that while there is less rainfall
here in the summer than east of
us, there is an equal and CORE
spending shortage in the snow
fall. In consequence of thi s with

this section are never as severe
as they are east and south OF us

ment that an erroneous impression
seems to exist among the many eX-
Confederate soldiers in regard to inter-
probation to be put upon the recent act
of congress relieving the Union SOL
diers of disabilities for having prev
iously served in the Confederate army
The idea seems to prevail tat under
this act the government is authorized
to pension eX-Confederate soldiers and
the result is that the pension office
is being deluged with applications for
the former wearers of the gray. The
commissioner explained that the law
in question does not contemplate the
pensioning of Confederate soldiers,
but that it was designed solely to re-
move the disability which SO long ex-
listed in the case of men who We're i'm
