 "The political situation here is most serious and every indication points to a general uprising of the people of Hayti, if President Simon Sam persists in his announced intention of attempt- ing to remain in power after May l5, on which date his term expires. Many citizens have been imprisoned through out the republic. In Port Au Prince the prisons were not sufficiently large and the government gunboats were used.
 The entire city of Port Au Prince is in state of great excitement. All doors of buildings are kept closed whenever possible. in fear of conflict between the opponents of President Sam and the soldiery.

United Irish League to Send Funds to
 Old Country

Open violence, reaching possibly to the extent of insurrection, is expected in Ireland by the Irish leaders in this country as result of the enforce ment of the crimes act and the expect ed proclamation against the United Irish league as a seditious and unlaw- full society.
 The United Irish League of America, in response to cablegram from John Redmond and John Dillon, appealing for its support, is already straining every nerve to give assistance, and the officers of the league expect that within thirty days between $500,0 and $l00,- 900 will be on it's way across the At- lantic to aid the Irishmen at home.

WANTED FOR FORGERY.
James Kelsey Arrested and Being Held
for a Crime Committed in
Missouri.

The county Jail is at present the
habitat of but one lone individual, but
the crime that is alleged to have been
committed by this one is of nature of
far more concern than attached to any
prisoner ever confined in the bowels
OF Rosebud county's bastile for some
time.
Upon instructions received Sunday
evening from a United States marshal
at Sioux Falls, S. D., Deputy Sheriff
Muri placed under arrest one James
kelsey on the specific charge of for
gerry, the crime, it is said, having
been committed at St. Joseph, Mo.
Mr.. Muri upon the receipt of the in
structions at once went to the grove
near the Yellow stone north of town,
where Kelsey, his wife and child have
been making their abode in tent. Up
on enquiring of Mrs. Kelsey as to the
whereabouts of her husband the deputy
was informed that he was working for
J. II. Austin. Gong to the barn he
learned that Kelsey had gone out of
town for a load of hay but was ex-
pected back soon.
After waiting a few hours Kelsey
arrived and was put under arrest and
relieved of a siX-shooter which he had
OH his person at the time. He endeav-
Ored to persuade Mr.. Muri to pesmit
him to go to his home and reveal his
predicament to his wife but the office
not granting the request Kelsey was
was taken to the county Jail where he
is now confined pending the arrival of
a United States marshal who is eX-
pected to arrive at any time.
Kelsey, his wife and child have been
here but a short time. They came
directly to Forsyth from Belle Fourche,
S. d., where Mrs. Kelsey's parents
reside, whom she has notified of her
circumstances and expects to ret,rn to
her former home shortly
The prisoner is non -committal con-
Cerning the affair and no further par
ticulars can be learned at this time.

accidentally shot himself last Wednes-
day evening, died Tuesday evening at

hope of the amputation and the saving
of the life of Cotter.

INCREASE OVER 100000.
That's What Assessor ChOisser,s Re.
port ShOWs..TOtal Assessment
is Over So 1921 300.

The assessor has completed his work
for the year. The valuation shows a
gratifying increase over 1901 of nearly
500, 900 as the books were returned by
the assessor for that year and about
$500, 900 above what it was after the
valuation was equalized by the board
of county commissioners.
The total assessment tor 1902 ex-
elusive of railroad is So, o21, 900 against
81, 924, 439 for 1901. With the railroad
assessment it will show at least
IS, $4,000.
The figures in the report are more
eloquent than words and shows the
strides which are being made toward
the material advancement and pros
perity of this favored district of the
state and portends with unerring fin
ger the rapid colonization and de-
velopment which will take place with
in the county before the next few years
will have rolled by. But one year has
elapsed since the first assessment of
the county was taken after it's segra-
cation from Custer, yet in this brief
space of time it's wealth has enor-

when there will be corresponding
increase in the salaries of all the

To Vote Oh Anne endnlent,

AT the regular autumn election the
voters will be called upon to cast their
ballots for or against proposed
amendment to the constitution. This
is the amendment concerning the
method of choosing county commission
ers and is of interest to the people of
all sections of the state. Secretary of
State Hays has begun sending out the
notices calling attention to the vote
that will be taken on the amendment.
Under the law these notices must be
published III one newspaper in each
county several weeks preceding the
election. The secretary of state Sc
lects the papers.
The amendment proposes a system
that has been found more satisfactory
in every way to large number of the
states. Should the amendment receive
the approval of a majority of the voters
of the state, the county commissioners
will hold office six years instead of
two, as at present One member will
be elected each two years instead Of
all being chosen at the same time, as
is the present custom.
Those who favor the amendment say
that it insures the presence of two ex-
perienced men on the beard all of the
time. 1t is also claimed by those favor
ing the amendment that the lengthen-
ing of the term will eliminate politics
from the board to a certain extent and
wall also insure the obtaining of sub
stantial business men as members of
the boards.

While not great surprise, the news
of the death of Mrs. J. G. Clifford

c. Clifford took place today at $50 p. m
from the Church of the Sacred Hear.~
The body was brought in on the:
morning train and taken to the church.,
where it lay until it started ON its last

The news from Montana is natur-
ally awaited with much eagerness.
AT this writing the market cannot be
said to have become fairly opened, but
as already stated, from the bids which
have been made, and from the few
early transactions reported, the next
two or three weeks are likely to wit
ness lively times in that great wool
growing state, although it is possible
that the somewhat disappointing char
acter of the opening of the London
sales may serve to dampen the ardor
of some of tie buyers in that locality.
A strong and advancing market is
reckoned on by the Montana growers.
