Has it ever occurred to our
readers that the regularity OF
South Dakota crops during the
past FIVE years has far surpassed
the Iowa crops during the same
period? Such however, is the
case. Almost every year for five
years the crops in Iowa have
been a partial or total failure.
While South Dakota crops have
with surprising regularity been
excellent. And yet because OF
old prejudices, Iowa receives no
discredit for her poor crops, and
South Dakota gets no credit for
her good ones. This condition
OF things cannot last and in fact
the countay at largeis fast chang

The Passing of the Cowboy.

The present influx ofsettlers to
the country west of Pierre marks
the passing Of the rarckcr and
COWBOY. Wire fences and set
tiers sound the death note to the
wild free life of the plains which
has been the ideal OF children's
minds for half a century The
closing out of the big ranches
west of the Missouri IS one Of
last expiring struggles of the old
regime against the new, Of
pioneer customs against advane-
ing civilization. Oklahoma
Kansas, and Nebraska have all
witnessed the same thing and
were benefited by it. The
buffalo and the Indian had to
give place to railroads and vast
ranches and these in turn have
passed by for small stockmen,
farmers and towns. There is a
touch Of thu romantic and even
of pathos in the passing of this
wild life from our borders. 1t
was interesting anil facinating
but we watch it fade away
without regret. The unique and
manly characters Of our one time
cowboy and ranchers will find
employment in other lines of in
dustry. The same manly men
will be with us ard after all that
is all that was desirable in the
old life. The passing of the cow
boy viii end a source OF youthful
dreams and desires, but it will
make aplace for our ever advac-
ing civilization such as Ohio,
Kentucky. Illinois and Iowa
have done in the past. We turn
to the east once more and extend
a welcoming hand to the settler.

A very interesting nrtesian well
case has just been decided in Sully
county. a certain township de-

quarter to a resident in another
part of the county who i'm

being on his land, which proved
TO be correct when resurvcyed.
Judge Gaffy held that the well
belonged TO the farmer, but that
he would he compelled to sell it
to the township at reasonable
price, and the supreme court has

DEAD IN RIVER
Man Commits Suicide in Two

Word was received here yesterday that

Mrs. Louise Sharp, also formerly Of this
city, was found dead in the Platte river,
where he had, to all appearances, held
his head under two feet Of water until
he drowned
Just how long Mr.. Palmer made Wich-

Later, wnen he was compelled to move
on account of Mr.. SteinbucheI tearing

MIR. Palmer rented room at SOC East
Douglas avenue. It was there that he
disposed of his business and moved to
Denver AT one time he conducted a
racket store in the building in the first
bloc4A on North Main street, now occupied
by the Enterprise.
After leaving Wichita, Palmer wrote
friends mere some time ago that he was
not enjoying the best Of health. That
Is supposed to be the cause of his COM
hitting suicide. Although apparently in
good health at the time he lived here,
1t is said that Palmer was not well, but
he kept continually at his business, no
matter how i'll he might have been.
1t was two days after he disappeared
from his sisters home in Denver that
his body was found. A teamSter who
had occasion to drive over bridge at
the Platte drive was terrified to see the
body of man lying in the shallow water
directly underneath. He notified the po-
lice and the body was taken in charge.
1t was lying face down in the river.
Palmer had evidently held himself I'M

was found floating a short distance down

LETTER is SENT.
Committee of Fifteen Is Hard al
Work

The committee of fifteen appointed at
the mass meeting in Garfield hall. Decem-
Der 8. has sent the following communi-
cation to the Commercial club and Cham
Der of Commerce:
To the President and Members of the
Wichita Commercial Club, and to the
President and Members of the Wichita
Chamber of Commerce:
Wichita. Kan.
Conference.-The unfavorable decision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission IN
the Wichita grain rate case against the
railroads caused the calling of public
meeting in Garfield hall Thursday even
ing. December 8. At said meeting a
committee of fifteen was appointed for
the purpose of devising ways and means
TO obtain relief from the extoruonate
freight rates exacted on all kinds or
freight and especially freight rates on
grain The committee so appointed held
several meetings in order TO obtain
complete knowledge of the situation ana
if possible find the most economical and
effective remedy to mitigate or abrogate
the wrong to which the people of Wich-
Eta and surrounding territory are sub
5ected.
On December ., the committee met In
the mayors Office Mr. Cohn made a
forcible speech in favor of prompt ac-
ton and with special reference of OBJ
tanning Keller on grain rates. His argu-
ment was to the point He explained
that the basis of all wealth OF the ter
ritory came primarily from the products
Of the fields and that the entire COM
munity, without exception wou.-- be the
gamer if favorable grain rates could be
obtained. He cited the fact that with
reasonable rates on grain. Wichita would
get many millions OF dollars worth of
grain trade-now going elsewhere-stimu-
latiag and agumenting every industry
and all commerce in our city: therefore
the speaker favored Immediate action TO
obtain relief on grain rates and that said
action be backed by the entire CONNER
cial and Industrial power Of Wichita and
Ats citizens.

MRS. HARMON WINS.
Supreme Court Finds Verdict in Favor
of Plaintiff

John ". Adams of Adams & Adams,
yesterday received a card from the SUI
preme court. stating that the court had
reversed the case Of Harmon vs. Pay
ton in favor of his client, Mrs. Harmon.
This case was argued by Mr.. Adams In
the supreme court at the last session.
It involved many interesting points of
law Regarding the landlord and tenant
act. This case was tried about a year
ago in the district court of this county
and involved the crops raised on about
eighty acres of land on Harmon ranch
in the western part of the county. There
was a large number of witnesses in the
case and the costs amounted to con-
siderable. The district court rendered a
small judgment against the plaintiff and
for costs The plaintiff contended that
the findings of fact were inconsistent and
warranted a verdict in her favor, and the
supreme court seems to have taken this
view of the case
