VIII Use. Tents.

Ihe1congested condition of the in
sane hospital at Yankton has led the
boardnof charities and corrections to
male some arrangements for the
housing of additional patients dur
ing the warm weather. Secretary
11ptona says that action has been
taken by the board to ecure tents
Tor summer use. 1t is the intention
to take about 100 patients, whose
dispositions Ire mild and whose all
ment borders on that of tuberculosis,
and place them in tents during the.
warm months, giving them all the
outdoor life possible. This plan has
been followed by other state institu-
tons of like character with success
full results and. besides, it makes
more room for patients who are watt
ing for admission into the hospital.
Mr.. Upton says that two buildings
are being constructed at Yankton for
patients and when they are COM
pleted, one in the summer and the
other later in the year, much more
room will be available. When spring

ed for the cattle that supply the
milk and butter for the patients, and
the herd will be increased to 100. 1t
is costing $500 a month to supply the
patients with butter alone, and the
board feels that this ought to be re-
duced.
AT the reform school at Plankin-
ton sufficient butter is made to sup
ply all the wants of the school and
enough is left to supply the deaf
mute school at Sioux Falls and about
half enough for the penitentiary,
making a saving of at least $500 a
month. The cattle sheds and cattle
for Yankton will cost about $4,000,
which has been appropriated by the
legislature,

Unpleasant Experience.

John r. Johnson. a farmer near
Belle Fourche, had an unpleasant
experience with a mailman. w. L.
Wood, who@had wandered in the cold
and storm while in u demented con
dition, called at Johnson's house with
his feet badly frozen. Mr.. johnson
began thawing his feet and was sud
denly attacked by Wood. The latter
threw him to the floor and was
choking him when Johnson's cries
brought his l~2-year-old son into the
room.
The son broke the stock of a rifle
over Woods head and Mrs. John
son ran to the assistance of her hus-
band and son. Wood was rapidly
getting the advantage of all three
when a grown daughter with a lev
elled shotgun threatened to blow
Wood to eternity. He then submit
ted while johnson and the son bound
him securely and sent to Belle
Fourche for the sheriff.
Wood is in the Butte county Jail
awaiting the action of the county
board of insanity. He talks freely of
his conuition and admits that he was
for three years confined in the Neb-
raska asylum at Norfolk. Mr.. John
son was severely injured.

The Nelson's are Catholic; the Walls

Nelson made to her marriage. The
Vanderbilts were originally of the
Dutch Reformed church, but are now
Episcopalians, though more than half

largely Presbyterian and Low Church
Episcopalian, is rapidly becoming
Catholic and Episcopalian Of the High

he surrounding tree tops by the. troops
in an effort to discover if possible the
place from which The sound came. The
frer was discovered atGlength, clothed in
the green leaves of the palm, lying
stretchedaout at fulltlength on a branch
of the tree. q.
While the land, forces were. moving
forward on the highway notfar from the
sea, the ,United States monitor4Monad-
mock followed up the movement abreast
of the troops. Occasionally, as she pro-
ceeded, she cast asshell into the Fili-
Pine entrenchmeats thatlay within view
of her decks. Once, just before dark,
as the ship neared Mololos, an extensive
line of Norksswas discovered, in front
of which a White-shirted Filipino SEN
tinel was ~leisurely pacing back and
forth, A she'll was quickly discharged
at the works, but the missile falling a
little short struck the ground neal the
sentinel. Other shells followed in rapid
succession before the darkness put an
end to the firing, a number falling SO
near to the man that they covered him
with dust when they struck the earth.
He remained, nevertheless, on his post
until an officer appeared and took him
away. A new sentinel almost immedi-
ately took his place, and standing rigid
ly erect in front of the works gave no
evidence of fear, although a number of
shells struck almost within reach of his
hand.
On the following morning the. senti-
mel was observed still on his post in
front of the works, apparently as de-
faint and fearless as ever A number
of shots were then rapidly fired at him,
and more would have followed had not
the captain discovered that the gunners
were firing at the sentinel instead of
at the works, and caused the firing to
cease.
After the fall Of Mololos, and the re-
tirement of the Filipino forces, the great
ship fell back to the place where she
had bombarded the sentinels. To the
surprise Of all IN boaru the sentinel was
still at his post, as rigidiy erect and i'm
movable as when shot and shell were
falling fast and furiously about him. A
boat was quickly lowered and a crew
sent ashore to reconnoiter. The sailors
cautiously approached the sentinel, who
stood the meanwhile silently in his
place. AS they came near they a;seoy-
cred to their chagrin and amusement
that the Filipino sentinel whose supreme
courage they had sc much admired, was
simply a man df straw, a substitute, and
a dummy.

church favors il. Sunday Closing
DR.. Parkhurst asks for 1t. 1t is unnec-
cessary to say that all these people
have no sympathy with the saloon.
They regard it IS a necessary evil UNI
der the circumstances and are almost
bitter toward those who assert without
knowing the fact that the Sunday
opening is the road to ruin.
There are two answers which the
church people, the Settlement people
and the officers of the law, like District
Attorney Jerome are accustomed to
make:
First, the saloons are open now,
many OF them; the "Raines Law Hoo
tells" legally open, others Illegally open.
To have them open against the law
keeps no sober and brings the law
into contempt.
Second, the feeling that the reform
element tries TO keep the saloons
closed drives thousands of honest peo-
pie who do not go to church, but who
do take a drink now and then to vote
on the wrong side in most municipal
questions. This alone gives the ''sa-
loon power" its political Importance.
There is no; doubt that the saloon
men voted for the reform candidate in
1901 because they were tired Of the
price Tammany made them pay for the
privilege of breaking the law. Last
fall they voted for Tammany because
they found the. reform administration
unable to furnish the promised lib
era" construction Of the law. In both
instances they carried the day.
And SO the whole matter comes up
again before the legislature in the form
of local option measures, each of which
is worse than most of the others. 1t
has eve been proposed that each cleo
ton district have the right to vote
upon the Sunday opening question.

Wanted for Settlement.

The people of the northern part of
the state are ~agitating the opening of
the Cheyenne River reservation to
settlement. 1t will probably take
years of effort before it is accom-
plished.
Indians may be required to take
~severalty allotments before the
whites are allowed to make selec-
tons, as was done on the Sisseton
and Yankton reservations. While the
work of allotment has been in pro-
gress for several years, the estimate
of time to complete the work is plac-
ed at about eight years, and not more
than half this time has elapsed since
the work was begun.
Until this is completed the matter
of opening the tract to settlers will
be a hard proposition.

"COLD SOIL" CAUSES FROSTS
State HorticuIturist Investigates Con
ditions.

TACOMA, Wash, June 30.-The
frost that killed and partially blighted
so much garden truck, berries and
fruits in certain districts of western
Washington last week has led State
Horticulturist A. Van Holderbeke to
make an investigation of the conditions
that produce such innovations of eli
mate. From a cursory examination he
believes the extremes causing frosts in
midsummer is a condition of the soil
probably induced by too much mois-
ture. with a cold wind from the
mountains as an accessory.
There is very peculiar soil in dis
tricts even in the small space of coun-
try between Seattle and Tacoma" said
