Glory for South Dakota.

I'm addition to taking first prize and
gold medal at the worlds fair for thd|
finest hard wheat raised on the faced
OF the earth, Meade county now takes
the prize for the best mohair ever
shown, as the following from the
American Sheep Breeder and Wool
Grower will show. The following is
an extract from a communication by
l.. Levussove of New York:
Il wish to call your attention to the|
sample of mohair which l enclose and|
which represents a large quantity
bought by me of G. B. Farwell & Co.
Of Sturgis, S. D., with whom Mr.. Polk
is associated in the mohair industry.
l paid for it at a uniform rate of 81
per pound, and by examining the sam
pie you will find it to be of a very fine
fiber and measuring fifteen inches in
length. At the time | received this
shipment was surprised myself that
such good mohair could be produced
in that state. This certainly shows
the great progress we are making in
the mohair industry. | have often re-
ceived samples of mohair from Brad
ford, England, supposed to be the
finest to be had, but it could never
be compared with our domestic mo-
hair. Whoever dreamed of it fifteen
or twenty years ago, that this country
would stand first in the production Of
the best and longest mOhair?
| have often been assured by breed
ers that my views were a myth, they
claiming that such long mohair could
not be grown in this country, but the
many shipments | have received from
the different breeders in the past
prove that it is quite possible to raise
long mohair, providing the right meth
cd Of breeding, feeding and caring for
the Angora goat is applied"
The paper mentioned then gives a
half-tone cut of mohair, and says:
The sample shown in the above half
tone is mOhair grown by c.. B. Far
well & Co.. on the eastern slope Of the
Black Hills, in South Dakota. 1t is
fifteen inches long, the finest hal rever
received at this office, and was taken
from a large consignment for which
Mr.. Levussove Of New York paid 81
per pound

| William street, where it is proposed to
in the circuit court at Deadwood OF
bigamy. The complaining witness was
a oma from whom Hall was d.
vorced only a few months ago, Eta
Hall of Deadwood. She alleged that
she was married to Hall In September,
1900, at Deadwood, and had subse-
quently learned that Hall had a wife
living at Topeka, Kan, from whom he
had not been divorced. States attor-
ney Parker communicated with Halls
alleged first wife, who came to Deal
wood from Topeka and was the prin-
cipal witness, producing their mar
riage certificate, showing that they
were married seventeen years ago. and
festifying that their son, fifteen years
old, was living with her.
The Deadwood city council has an
option on the lots formerly belonging
to the estate Of ex-Gov. Mellette on
Villa mstreet, where it is proposed to
erect the library building Andrew
Carnegie has offered to donate to the
town. Mr.. Carnegie at first offered
$40, 200, but he has since practically
signifed his willingness to increase

southern hills, looking for a townsite
in the foothills.
Pursuing a n~ortheasterly direction
they reached Rapid creek, which up to
that time was known only in reports
by military expeditions. They fol-
lowed down the creek to where it
opened into the valley and camped at
the gap in the range of the foothills.
1t was here that the townsite of Rapid
City was laid out with a tape measure,
a section of land being surveyed with
a pocket compass, and five blocks plat.
ted in the center Of the section.
The lots were disposed of at a draw.

1t was at this time that the first party

BOOM Is STE
Congress Has Blasted the Budding
Hopes Of Bonesteel.

Several thousand people have been
living for months in the vicinity of the
Rosebud Indian reservation in South
Dakota, waiting for congress to pass
the bill opening the reservation to Set
tlement, and are disappointed yer
the failure Of congress to pass the
bill. In the town Of Bonesteel the
disappointment is most bitterly felt.
Bonesteel Is situated at the eastern
border OF the reservation and it had
expected to profit greatly from the
opening of the reservation. That a
number of commercial institutions
now In existence there will have to
quit business because Of the natural
exodus of persons who were waiting
for lands seems certain. A
ton organized by the business men,
with $4,000 capital, to see to the ac-
commodations for new corners, will
now suspend business.
The election in Gregory county for
the purpose of determining as to
whether or not the county should be
bonded In the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose OF erecting a court house at
Fairfax, the county seat, resulted in
an overwhelming defeat for the "bond
rooters." 1t is reported that several
Illegal votes were cast at the Fairfax
polls and arrests will follow. The
Bonesteel precinct made a gain over
last falls election of over $50 votes,
which fairly shows the increase OF
population there since that time.
The Bonesteel council has sold the
$4,000 waterworks bonds to the state
and will Immediately put in a system
or waterworks. The money was re.
ceived from the state school fund.
