The commissioner arrived in Sioux
City yesterday en route to Chamberlain
where the drawing for the Rosebud
homes will begin Thursday. The COM
missioner suggested that he was not
yet certain that the filing would be
done at Bonesteel, but the probabilities
are that II the citizens do the right
thing this will be done.
Advices received from Bonesteel are
TO the effect that everything is quiet
there. The officers SHOT in the recent
riot will recover. Patsy Wagner, the

$1,000.
Omaha. July 26-J. L. Scarborough
of New London, Iowa, traded s3s IN
cash to a stranger in the union pas
senger station here for a $1,000 check.
The check was drawn on the Conway
Exchange bank, of Conway, Iowa, is
made payable to n. c. Woods, and is
signed by r. II. Carney.
Scarborough met the stranger on
the train, and when the two got off
together at Omaha, the stranger hap
pened to remember that While he had
this check in his pocket he had no
ready cash, and that 1t would be diff
cult to cash the check in a town where
he was not acquainted. But he had
some goods at the transfer agents
office, which he was In n hurry to get
out So 1t was natural enough for him
TO suggest that perhaps Mr.. Scarsbor-
ough would be so good as TO help him
over the difficulty And Mr.. Scar
borough consented.
$50 good OF you, Mr.. Scarborough"
said the stranger Il assure you / feel
greatly indebted to you. Rather hu-
morous. a man of my position being
forced to borrow a paltry $SS from
. stranger in q strange town. Ha. ha,
ha. When you know me better, we
will have many a laugh over the Incl
dent"
Scarborough thought the joke better
when the stranger forced the $1,000
check into his hand.
Merely formality, my dear sir, =
he said. 81 shall return the money as
soon as / get home. But you can have
the check as a guarantee of good
faith"
1t took Mr.. scarborough of New Lon
don Just ten minutes to realize that he
had done an unwise act. Then he hied
him to the police station and told his
tale of woe.

Lono Stories Still Written.

Reviewers and others (writes a cor
respondent) who talk Of the disappear
ancc Of the very long novel" seem &C
forget or to be ignorant of the fact
that the novel of great length-longei
even than those written by Dickens OF
Thackeray-is still very much with us
says the London Post. The serial
stories In certain of the morning pa
pers are extremely long, as well
known London publisher recently hal
occasion to find out. He liked GER
tain serial and he wrote to the author
to come and see him. The author call
ed and the publisher said he would like
to publish the story in book form If
it could be cut down a bit
About what size would you want?'
inquired the author.
"Oh, say, 10000 words, said the pub
Usher.
But my dear SIR" said the author,
there are in my story more than 6o0,-
600 words, and to cut 1t down to the
length you require, would involve more
work than the rewriting of the tale!"
He added that he had brought the
manuscript with him. He had; it was
outside the publishers office in a four
wheeler, the interior of which was
packed with paper, while there We're
also two bundles in the box!
And 100000 words is not the record.
There has just been ended serial
which had in it no fewer than 100000
words. One author who makes serials
a speciality, and is in big demand gets
G2 thousand words so his annual in
come is considerable. Some papers, it
may be added, pay their serial writer's
SO much a week, regardless OF the
amount of their contributions.
The same correspondent gives an ex-
perience that befell him the other day
as serial writer. His story was APP
pearing in a northern weekly, which
paid him G1 for each installment AMI
gave no time limit, so to speak. The
author wrote each week for about six
months, and then came a day when
he was i'll, and unable to take up the
tale. He wired to writer on the staff
of the paper asking him TO do two
chapters, just marking time The
writer obliged, but great was the writ
er's astonishment and vast his indigna-
ton, when he saw at the close of his
instalment the words The End The
collaboration, acting at the instigation
of the editor, had wound UP every
thing very neatly, and our correspon-
