MlLBANK, S. d.. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, l9O3
Stop IL!

One of those disreputable
things INDUCED in by the boys
in town is the stealing of apples
and other fruit from the growing
trees in the gardens. Not only
is the fruit taken, but in many
instances the trees are injured
and destroyed by having limbs
broken and torn from them.
tits very discouragiug to persons
who have gone to considerable
trouble and expense and have
for years carefully tended their
trees, to have the fruit taken
from them before it is ripe, and
the trees themselves injured,
before the grower gets an
opportunity to even see the fruit
in it's ripened state. If the boys
who are engaged in these depre,
dations find themselves in trouble
in the near future they will have
nobody but themselves to blame
They may find themselves in
police court or they may have
to stay at home for several days
and pick the rock salt out Of
their anatomy good dea
will depend upon the disposition
of the parties whom they ar'
abusing.

MILBANk CARNIVAL
An Exhibition Of Local Agricul.
turaI and horticultural
Products. Fine Live
Stock Exhibit
All Entertainment Features
Free TO Visitors

Many of the towns which have
engaged the travelling carnivals
are considering whether these
celebrations pay the communities
in which they are held. The
carnivals are composed entirely
of show features, meritorious
and otherwise, and are morein the
form of circus and spectacular
exhibitions than Of expositions
of local products-the latter
feature not entering into con
sideration. The fair and
carnival to be given in Milbank
this month is an exhibition of
local products, agricultural,
horticultural and otherwise, and
the show features engaged are
incidental to this and are simply
secured to furnish free of
expense, clean and pleasing enter
tainment for thepeopleattending.
This was what the original street
fair and carnival was intended to
be, what it has been in Milbank
heretofore, and what it will be
this year, though Oh larger and
more imposing scale than in
years past. If you want to see
what the northeastern part OF
South Dakota can raise and does
raise in an agricultural way, you
will be able to see it AT Milbauk
the 22d and oath of this month.
The carnival management
have already commenced the
{ erection of the street arches,

LEGAL BATTLE OVER TAXES.
James II. Kecne and the City of New
York Engaged in u Fight
Over Personal Taxes.

New York, March 21.-James r.
Keene and the city of New York are
engaged in an interesting legal bat
tie which may have far-reaching eff
fects on the question of payment of
personal taxes. Mr.. keene is to be
the first man examined under the new
method of supplementary proceed
ings. He is to be summoned to court
and examined in detail as to his prop
erty.
The corporation counsel contends
that Mr.. Keene owes the city $1,737
for personal taxes for 1901. Mr.
keene has informed the corporation
counsel that he will not pay this tax
because in that year he was a resi-
dent of Hampstead, Nassau county.
AS O as the lawyers of the de-
partment for the collection of arrears
on personal property heard of Mr..
Keene's defiance they served notice
that if he did not pay the city would
compel him to be examined in sup
Elementary proceedings. In reply to
this, lawyers representing Mr.. Keene
called at the office of Martin SAKE,
who is at the head of his branch of
the tax department, announcing that
Mr.. Keene would fight out in the
court the payment of taxes.

CHAFFEE TALKS FRANKLY.
MI ssfonaries Are Told That InteIfs

the Christian Religion.

New York, March 21.-Maj.-Gen. A.
Il. Chaffee told the members of the
District Social union at the Hotel
Savoy, Friday night, that he had never
met an intelligent Chinaman who ex-
pressed any desire to embrace the
Christian religion. After reviewing
the events in China at the time of the
uprising, Gen. Chatfee highly praised
the work of the missionaries in the
orient. 'They are all in earnest and
hopeful" he declared, 'but the re-
suits of their work are not proper
~tionate to the great labor of love.
They have done all that is possible,
but the burden is too great for them.
The masses are against Christianity,
but the missionaries are hopeful and
10 doubt courageous. Forty or fifty
missionaries in that great country
can not do much"

MINERS GAIN A VICTORY.
Bituminous District In PennsyI-

Altoona, Pa, March 21.-The coal
miners of the second bituminous dis
trict bare ct last gained a concession
from the operators for which they
have been lighting for the last five
years, namely an eight-hour day. A
scale on the basis of eight-hour day
has been signed by representatives of
the miners and operators. The mi
ners, however, were obliged to re-
linquish the 1914 and 4 per cent. in
crease respectively for pick and ma
chine mining called for by the nation
al agreement made at indianapolis,
and which the operators were willing
to grant on a nine-hour basis. An in
crease of ten per cent. is granted for
pick mining and an increase of IL
per cent. for machine mining.

I'm REPLY 70 CRITICISMS.
Civil Service Commissions Foulke
Writes a Letter to Senator
Spooner, Of Wisconsin.
he HAS NO INTENTION OF BEING eAeeED
When His Conduct, or That OF the
body of Which He is u Member,
II Attacked Even by the United
States Senate.

Washington, March 21.-Civil Serv-
ice Commissioner Foulke has sent a
letter to Senator Spooner, of W~iscon-
sin, in reply to sharp criticisms of let
tiers written to individual senator's by
Mr.. Foulke regarding certain mac
curacies in statements made on the
floor during consideration of q resolu-
ton calling for information from the
committee regarding the removal of
Elmer E.. Forshay from the surveyor
generals office of Idaho. Mr.. Foulke
says:
THUS the paradox is presented that
although the charge was untrue 1 had
no right to point out the particulars in
which it was untrue, ever in letters
to individual senator's. If this posi-
ton is sound it would be, the duty
of executive officers to submit in alb
solute silence to the gravest charges
of misconduct or even of crime, ut
tered in the most public place in the
nation. No self-respeeting man could
hold an administrative Office under
such conditions. / submit that it is
not to my letter that the epithet of
supreme effrontery' can most fifty be
applied.
In conclusion / will say that here
after when my conduct or that of the
body to which l belong is unjustly at
tackled in either house of congress |
shall continue to address, to any SEN
ator or representative who will re-
ceive it, a communication pointing
out the incorrectness as specifically
as l know how; that l will seek to
have the unjust charge refuted as
publicly as it was made; and if (as
l do not believe) the time should
come when l can find no senator or
representative who is willing to give
me a hearing, l shall seek by every
means in my power to make the
world acquainted with the injustice.
l do not believe hat any considerable
number of senator's will insist upon
such a doctrine of senatorial lese
majestic as will prevent any officer,
however humble the position he may
hold, from protecting himself against
unfounded accusations by every law
full means in his power"

SURE CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
In This Case the Tomato Proved to

Potato.

Il have been cured OF rheumatism
strangely said a fat man, according to the
Philadelphia Record. 1T happened in this
manner: Il was grooming in my office the
otner day when the ~janitor of the building
entered and said:
Are you III, sir?
"'Oh, I'm nearly crazy with rheumatism
! answered.
We'll, SIR said he, Il tell you what you
do. Just you get a raw tomato and carry
it in your pocket and in a little while you
will be all right
II got the raw tomato, and | carried it,
and, by Jove, the rheumatism left me. So |
called in the janitor and made him a pres.
ent of a box of good cigars.
"'You cured me, William l said to him
in a hearty voice. With your raw tomato
you cured me entirely.
Raw tomato, sir?' says William. Why,
sir, you misunderstood me. 1 didn't say
raw tomato. | said it was a raw potato that
you were to carry"

A Cure fOr Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, Mar. 23rd:-Physicians are
much puzzled over the case of Mr.. +. J. Os-
valid, of this place. Mr. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed un-
ued to suffer till he heard of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mr.. Oswald began a treatment Of this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
very severe case of Rheumatism some years
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record of success in curing all forms of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these pain
full diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure promptly and permanently.

ing to DR.. Singer.

New York, March 21.-At a banquet
given by four lodges of the Society
B'Nai Birth to DR.. Friedrich Mueller,
DR.. Singer, replying to the toast 1.-The
President" said the Jew had more
motive than the ordinary Americans
patriotism for doing homage to the
president. He continued: 1T was
Theodore Roosevelt who inspired the
Roumanian note Of Secretary Hay of
August IL, 1902, a political and his
toric act, the ultimate effects of which
upon the amelioration of the condi-
ton of the Jews in eastern Europe
can not be fully realized at the pres
emit time"
DR.. Mueller spoke briefly, calling
America a nation of idealists, not ma
terialists, because of their magnih-

ARE GIVING WAY.
The Levee Near Pecan Point, Forty
Miles North of Memphis,
Has Given Way.
CREvASSE FOUR HUNDRED FEET WIDE
The LOvlands in the ST. Francfs Ba-
sin VIII Now All be Inundated
People In the 10 Districts
Slow to Avail Themselves vi
Means of Safety.

Memphis, Tenn, March Elm spite
of heroic work by hundreds of men,
the levee near Pecan Point. 40 miles
north, is reported 10 have given way
early Friday morning and a vast vol
m of water is running through a
%crevasse 400 feet wide. Pecan Point
is 20 miles north of Trice's Landing,
where the first break occurred, and
the additional flood being let into the
St. Francis basin will cause the wa
tiers to rise more rapidly through the
lowlands.
The reports of the suffering of the
people at Marion are believed to be
somewhat exaggerated. Every OPP
portunity has been given those re-,
naming there to get out of the flood
ed district, but they decline to leave.
President Killough, of the ST. Francis
levee board, says that while the stu
alton is serious there has been no
actual distress except in a few isolat-
ed cases. The Frisco railroad, Thurs
day advertised a train to leave Marion
at B o'clock going west to Jones'
boro and other places, and announced
that no one would be denied admis-
sion to the cars, and it is said that
only four or five persons have taken
advantage of the offer.
There has been some talk of dyna-
hitting the levee opposite Marion, but,
SO far no action in this direction has
been taken.
Chief Engineer Farr, of the St.
Francis board, left on the govern
ment steamer Minnetonka for Pecan
Point and the levees from that place
south will be closely watched.
Another break is reported at North
Helena, where the water is rushing
through an eight-foot gap in the
small levee, flooding the north sec
ton and driving many negroes to
high land.
The residents along the river south
of here are becoming alarmed in an
ticipation of the rise to come when
the waters begin to fall at Memphis.
The river here continues to rise
slowly, the gauge marking 40.1 feet,
which is a rise of 1-10th in "a hours.
