There is a report going the rounds
that the young men of South Dakota
are so eager to get wives that almost
every manageable young woman who
goes to the State is Immediately snap
ped up, and there is great difficulty in
getting girls enough to teach school.
Getting down to details, the report
goes on to say that traveller in the
State recently found an empty school
house with card tackled on the door
saying: "Teacher wanted. If single,
must be old and unattractive, as a
wealthy bachelor in the neighborhood
threatens to marry the next teacher Of
this school,"

technicality. The provisions of
the bill are not attacked.
"If you will let my police board
alone, 1 will let your appropriation

not to be bluffed and he went after
the police board with the result that

For this reform Senator Patterson
proposes that the state shall pay the
cost OF an extra session of the assem-
bly,.
The fact that the state funds will
be tied if he succeeds in the supreme
court until a new law can be- passed
or the old one reenacted by an extra
session, is especially pleasing to the
senator.
1t will cause the state loss and the
officials and those doing business
with the state great Inconvenience,
but these things are nothing compar-
ed to the necessity for this political
shylock securing his pound of re-
venge.
Colorado has never had more
dangerous man in high official pos
ition than this same Patterson. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that the su-
preme court will not find it necessary
to SATISFY his desire for revenge and
to put the state to the expense of an
extra session by declaring the bill

Tho popuIIsts and Roosevelt

The assertion of prominent Kan
sas populist that he and the greater
portion of his element in his state
will support Roosevelt in 1904 is
bothering some of the democratic
papers. What do these papers think
the populists ought to do? Most OF
them IN Kansas and the other repub
lican states of the West were drawn
from the republican party. Now
that their party and the issues which
produced 1t are dead it is natural
that they should return to theil
original affiliation.
Moreover, the populists of Kansas
and other states of the West have
another reason for rejoining the re
publican party. They see that the
republicans in the past year haye
done more against the trusts than
the democrats could in a decade il
they had the whole of the machin,
cry of the government under their
control. The democrats talk
against the trusts, but they did not
attempt to do anything against them
when they had supreme control of
the government in the early part. of
Cleveland's second term. They
would have done nothing against
the trusts if they had been in power
uninterruptedly until to day. The
leaders of the democracy know this.
So do the trusts.
OF course, the populists of Kansas
and all the rest of the states of the
West will shout for Roosevelt in
1904. On the great issues of the
day, the tariff, the trusts and nation
al expansion, the western populists
are on the side of the republican
party, and always were. Free silver
is as dead as slavery. The issue of
greenbackism and of federal loans
on deposits of farm stock is ancient
history. There is no place for the
of the prairie states to go
now except into the republican
party. Colorado, Montana, Nebras-

Kansas Again to the Fore.

People who have been wondering
why Kansas has not contributed
something to the relief of an ennuied
world will sit up and take notice
when the case of Victor Murdoch
comes to their attention
Mr.. Mnrdock, who is called the
brightest man in Kansas" and who
gave Jerry Simpson his sobriquet of
"Sockless," was elected to congress
from the Seventh district of Kansas
the other day. He had rousing
republican majority, largely through
the efforts Of the red-headed men,
who rallied to his support. Mr..
Murdock has hair of fiery hue, and it
is said that red headed men turned
out of every corner Of the district to
see that their man was elected. Red
haired men who have never voted
anything but democratic or populist
tickets in their lives, whooped and
pumped for Murdock, and the result
was every voting place looked like a
chip off the Aurora Borealis.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Muir.

F. H. Allison. the advocate OF the

week with a very misleading article
with regard to the King reservoir.
In the first place he states that it will
require $4,000 to develop the King
reservoir, which is $40, 900 more than
the estimate of the engineers of the
Fort Lyon Co., in the second place
he states that its water supply is very
doubtful, when in fact it is far super
ior to that of any new reservoir that
could be constructed. The King is
in fact the only practicable reservoir
proposition in reach OF the Fort
Lyon Go. today, and its development
will be Of vast benefit not only to the
farmers under it, but to all OF the
water users of the canal, as it will
lessen the demands of the lower
divisions of the canal and leave that
additional water for the upper
divisions.

Coroner Frank II. Clark has decided
not 10 hold an inquest over the re-
mains of John Gavin. who was run
ever and instantly killed by a Rio

of the Bingham Junction depot.
The last two cars and cabOOse Of the
train passed over his body. Gavins
head and left hand were almost sew

split open on the right side, exposing
the brain. The mans right arm was
crushed at the elbow. where the wheels
/ passed over it, and both legs below
the knees We're broken. There were
other bruises on the body.
At the time of the accident Gavin
and a friend were attempting to make
their way east. Both had resided in
Salt Lake City for a short period.
+ The dead man was about q years OF
+ age, and an Englishman by birth. He
/ was known as a piano player and

ford himself IT was learned that three
shots were fired. The other witnesses
examined were Sergeant Roberts and
Officer Davies, the policemen who ar
rested KiffOrd shortly after the shoot

MINER LOSES COAL LAND.
Government Gives to John B. MiIburn
Large and Valuable Acreage.


In the case OF John IS. Muburn VS..
Archie G. Miner, the local land Of
fee rendered a decision yesterday in
favor Of John =. Milburn- 1t involves
title to $50 acres of valuable coal land
near the town Of Price. 1t appears
that the land was not surveyed by
the government until March IL. 1903,
at which time Mr.. Miner paid the
government the purchase price Of the
land, which was 5000, and received
final receipt therefor. At the time Of
making his application to purchase,
Mr.. Miner based his right upon con-
tinuous possession of the land since
Dec. IS, 1900 since which time he had
run a tunnel 500 feet in length, and
had expended $4,000 in valuable and
lasting Improvements upon the ground.
On May Is. following. +. w. Senior,
as attorney for John 3. Milburn, filed
protest before the commissioner of
the general land Office at Washington,
alleging d superior title in Milburn,
and asking that Miners purchase be
set aside. The commissioner directed
a hearing to determine the relative
rights Of the respective parties in the
premises, and as q result of said hear
ing the register and receiver decide in
favor OF Mr.. AIilburn. One part of the
decision says:
1T is unfortunate that Mr. Miner
should have expended so largely of his
means, as the testimony shows that he
has done, but we are unable to divest
ourselves Of the feeling that he could,
by small expenditure and a little ex-
p1OratiOn, nave readily determined the
quarter section involved; the public
surveys already having been extended
to within two miles of the tract in
controversy. Had he done this ne
could have saved himself the large eX-
penditure made on land belonging to
B another"
BY this decision Mr.. Miner loses
not alone his tunnel and other improve
ments. together with the amount paid
the government, but also the only prac-
teal way of working and developing
. several thousand acres Of adjacent Goa
lands belonging to Colonel S. Z. Mil
ner of this city
