Representative Martin frying to Have
Wind Cave Reserved as . Park
and Properly Fitted UP.
A Washington special of Jan. 80 has
the following concerning making Wind
Cave a National Park.
"Some time ago the secretary of the
interior made temporary reservation
from sale Of section Of land two by
three miles, embracing the famous
Wind Cave, about nine miles from Hot
Springs, s. D., believed to be the larg.
est cave In the world. The reservation
was made at the instance Of Represent.
ative Martin, with view to the estab.
lishment Of national park. The sec.
tion adjoins the Black Hills forest re.
serve, ani the commissioner of the
general land Office set aside $500 for
underground surveys. The depart
ment is now waiting for report, but
it has been agreed that Representative
Martin will make application to the
secretary and president to attach the
cave and its environs to the Black
Hills forest reserve, and place the same
under the care Of the supervisor.
Later it is proposed to ask congress to
set it epart as a national park and
stock it with deer, buffalo and other
game. Commissioner Hermann up
proves the plan, ind will cooperate
with Mr.. Martin to attach it to the
forest reserve. He is pushing the sur
vey, which when accomplished will de-
termine the future plans in reference
to national park"

Capt. Palmer Actively at Work.


The Omaha World Herald of last
Sunday contains the following refer
ence to one of the strong friends ofthe
National Sanitarium measure:
During this week the military com
mittee of the house will take up the
bill already passed by the senate pro.
viding for national soldiers home
and saniterium at Hot Springs, s. D..
and which carries appropriations az.
gregating $4,000.
Capt. H. E. Palmer, who has been
actively at work at every session of con.
gress for several years past trying to
push the bill through the house, has
been there again this winter, returning
home few days ago on account of the
serious illness of his wife, but will re.
turn to Washington this week to ap.
pear before the house committee hay-
ing it in charge.
"There is but little doubt that the
measure will pass the house this time,''
said Captain Palmer yesterday. "The
South Dakota delegation is united up
oD the proposition and it's members are
bright and active. The opposition that
We have had in the past from the south,
which insisted that it must have q
soldiers home, is now past, for one has
been built at Johnsonville, Tenn, so
the opposition from that section is
quieted."

Death of Mrs. d. H. Yerruson.

The death summons came to the be-
loved wife of D. H. Ferguson last Fri.

r. covery.
Mrs. Ferguson was the daughter of

a child she removed with her parents
to Norris, Ill. In 1888 she came to

WIS married to David H. Ferguson.
To them four children we're born, two
girls and two boys. Some years

besides her husband and children a
father and mother, two brothers and
two sisters, Geo. Pomeroy, of this place
@. A. Pomeroy, of Nebraska, Julia, OF

devotedly and resigned this life in
faith and prayer with sweetest reslgna-
tion.

The men who will cndeavor to uphold
the marvellous record made by the 1900
Red and Blue team are Capt. J. 8. West
ney, J. X. Baillee. S. A. Allen and A.

turn. Westney will be back in Ameri-
ca about the same time and II pos
s!b!e VIII return on the same boat.
Westney. the captain of the University
track team, is one Of the fastest sprint
ers In America and has covered the
100 yards In even time. Baillee is a
most promising distance man and will
enter for the half mile and two mile
races. He is Quilt for Il runner, and.
according to Mike Murphy, should make
one OF the fastest men in the world. AL
len will enter every hurdle race and
high jumps open for him, while Gray
will confinc himself to pole vaulting

tn" record made two years ago by Bas-
com Johnson. Gray mas cleared the
