Madison, S. D., Nov. 30.-There will
be no horticultural exhibit for South
Dakota at the st. Louis fair, as other
lars in this line, and with its limited
resources In cash the state showing
could not be made as complete as de-
sired. Stress will be laid upon the ag-
r1cultural, educational n mining ex-
hibits. $25, 600 being appropriated for the
latter exhibit, of which amount the
Black Hills raises $40, 900 n the COM
mission the remainder. The exhibit of
native game and fish will be very COM

the splendid collection of DR.. Rigg Of
Plankinton. Frank Patten of Artesian
and q large collection from q Black
Hills gentleman. Mr.. Russell Of the
commission will remain or the grounds
in charge of the mining exhibit, Mr..
Warner will be in charge of the agri-
culturl exhibit, and a young lady will
be IN charge of the educational exhibit
throughout the duration of the fair.
Arrangements have been made with
the Berger Manufacturing company of
Canton, o., for the equipment Of the
four corner rooms in the state build
ing,t which will be finished in metal,
highly decorated in attractive color
schemes and furnished with metal fur
niture. The firm furnishes this with
out cost to the state, for the advertis-
ing advantages it will receive. There
will be $1,400 worth of this kind of work
that will cost the state only the value
of the crude metal, possibly s1O0.
the construction of the South Da-
kota building will be done by either
Contractor Booth of Sioux Falls, or
Caldwell & Drake of Indianapolis, the
builders of the big agricultural build
ing, which is 1000 feet long, and one
of the biggest ever erected. 1t is ex-
pected that the contract will be let
and the construction commenced next
week, and the building enclosed and
ready for the decorators by January 1.

WILL HAVE TWO SALOONS.
kimball's Board of Aldermen Hav,

Voted to License Another.
Kimball, S. D., Dec. 2.-The board Of
aldermen of this town have finally
voted to license a second saloon. after
persistently refusing to do so for the
past five or six years-or ever since the
license law of the state took effect.
Petition after petition has been pre-
scented to the board, but each to be
turned down as fast as they came up.
Mike Reed of Sioux City, who owns a
building adjoining the present saloon,
mad two Intellectual attempts to butt
into the business OF liquor selling, and
one took the case before Judge Smith
OF this circuit. Judge Smith sustained
the council, and there the matter of a
second saloon ended for some time.
Last summer j. Nj. Brutlskiil petitioned
for a license, but only secured one vote
in the council. Recently he made an
other application, n his petition was
granted by a vote of three to one
two of the aldermen being absent. Pub
lie sentiment has been gradually
changing among the business men and
the feeling Is quite general now that
there should be no monopoly given to
the city and $500 TO the county had
and the recent decisions of the courts
made the council shy of fighting the
case. j. w. Sanford of Chamberlain
is putting up the new saloon building
and is supposed to be behind Bruins
kill. The other saloon building was
recently purchased by Nose Kaufman
of Sioux Falls. The business is under
the management of Sylvan Winter of
Chamberlain.

MORE CONFESSIONS.
Bandit Neidermeier Tells Of Other
Holdups He Has Committed.

Chicago, Dec. l.-Peter Neider.neier.
one of the members Of the quartet OF
young bandits, who for the last SIX months
have terrorized Chicago, in another con-
fession added several more crimes to
the long list already charged against him
and his companions, Van Dine and Roeski.
With parental love uppermost In his
mind Neidermeier offered to tell Chel
of Police O'Neil Of q score Of train hold
ups. burglaries and other crimes that he
has committed, il the rewards offered
will only be given to his mother.
II want to know that my mother will
be cared for after / am hung" said the
I-year-old boy, who is now the self-con'
fessed murderer Of five men.
II am guilty Of crimes of which you
know nothing, and for which innocent
men are now suffering. There are re-
wards offered for my capture and conVic-
tlon. If you will guarantee me thai these
rewards will so to my mother l VIII con-
Wet myself. 1 will confess crimes thai
will startle you"
ermeier told of q few crimes which he
claimed to have committed. He outlined
them in such q manner, Chief ONeil de-
clared, as only one Il was con
cerned in them could do. Neidermeiel
refused, however, to divulge the names
OF his partners in the crimes referred to,
pending proof that his mother would get
the rewards.
A few of the additional crimes be
claims to have participated in are as fol-
lows:
Robbery of the Illinois Central limited
express at Paducah. Ky, in which Barnes.
one of the robbers, cut his throat while
surrounded In a swamp. The others es-
capped.
Holdup OF a stage a mile from Butler,
New, TWO years ago, and robbery Of the
mails. No one was shot and the robbers
escaped without recognition.
Holdup and robbery of a Chicago and
Northwestern passenger train near
Boone, Ia, SIX months ago,
Holdup and attempted robbery of Bal
timore and Ohio train at Edgelnour, Ind,
four years ago.
Minor holdup and robberies in and out
OF Chicago were mentioned by Neider-
meier. But in all cases he was careful to
conceal the names of his associates In
crime, merely giving sufficient outline OF
the crimes to warrant Chief O'Neil In be-
lleving that Neidermeir was telling the
truth.
When Neidermeier went back to his cell
1t was with the assurance that his moth.
er would be bettered $500 financially.
Special Agent Wriley OF the Chicago
II Northwestern promised him thai
Mrs. Neidermeier should be given the re.
ward OF $500 for the arrest and conytc.
tlon or the ~Clybou,ne station robbers aft.
er Neldefmeier detailed the robbery ia
tnem and exonerated a MAJ named Dole
OF 81. Louis, who is now under indict
ment.

INTERESTED.
Suit on a Check on Which Money Was
Never Paid.

NSVST siu ~
Kimbal1, s.. d., Dec. "A case was
tried at the present term of court in
this county at Chamberlain last week
which will be of interest to bankers
generally. The case was one in which
demand was mad on the. a for
money on a check held by it which the
plaintiff alleged he never received, and
the jury found for the plaintiff.
The case grew out of a business
transaction between two farmers liv-
Ing north of Kinball, ex-senator
Wilkes and Robt. McGafln. The two
went into the kilnball State banS a
year ago last September to settle a
small deal and by which Wilkes had
$1S.75 coming to him. To expedite
matters, Cashier Hinrichs wrote out q
check payable to Wilkes for tine amount
and showed it across the counter for
McGaftin to sign, which he did. Mean
while Wilkes had cashed another
check, and the two men kept on talk
ing over their business affairs, finally
leaving the bank and driving home to-
gether.
That day, or the day after. Wilkes
found himself short some money, and
having 40 recollection of receiving
money on the McGaflin check, went
over to the latter's farm and talked
with him about it. Both agred hat
Wilkes neglected to get his money. The
first time Wilkes came to town he went
to the bank and asked for money on
the check. Mr.. Hinrichs maintained
that he paid Though he could not
say just what kind Of NON he gave
him-but was sure of it because the
books OF the bank balanced at the
close of business that day.
The ~disputants agreed to leave it
to a tribunal of three. Wilkes picked
a man. Hinrichs a man and those two
a third. But the three couldn't agree.
One was for Wilkes, one for Hinrichs
and the third was noncommittal. Then
Wilkes took the case into justice court,
where he got knocked out three times
before two Justices on technicalities.
The case then went to Chamberlain,
and after passing through the hands
Of two justices Hinrichs won out.
Wilkes appealed to the circuit court
and in a jury trial won his case, as
stated.
The case has already cost many times
the amount of money involved, but it
appear to be a matter of principal
with both parties, and the end is prob
ably not yet.
