Justice MOors's Court.

Judge Moore had the dusky damsels, Netty
Frisby and Garry Bankert, before him on
Wednesday. The witnesses for the prosecu-
ton we're Mayor Gilbert, Constable Davis and
Frank P. Stevens. They gave sufficiently
damaging evidence against the women. but
the latter frequently interrupted the witnesses
to correct dates and to add something to more
certainly insure their conviction. The women
had no witnesses. and Justice Moore sentenced
them to the House of Correction for six
months This was the limit of the law for
being habitualIy drunk and disorderly, but
Judge Moore told them he wished he could
have made the term two years. The women
were not disturbed at all by the trial or the
sentence. and were laughing and treated the
matter as something of joke on The Justice
or the witnesses. When the sentence was
passed, one of the women inquired when the
term would expire, and was told they would
gel out the first part of August. "Bless the
Lori" both women exclaimed, i've will be
back in time for campmeeting" Constable
Davis took the dusky damsels to "The Cut"
on Thursday.
Charles Croft, for assault and battery, was
fined $500 and costs, and in default was
sent to Jail.

Changes in Election Law.

Delegate Morrison, of Baltimore city, has
offered the amendments to the present election
law prepared by the Reform League. 1t is
provided that the intent of the voter shall
govern, and no ballot can be rejected without
the votes of the three judges. Marks on the
ballot must be made for the purpose ofidenti-
fcatiou, otherwise they cannot be rejected.
In case the cross marks are placed opposite
the names of more candidates for particular
office than the number to be elected, the ballot
is only invalidated as far as that position is
concerned The changes seem to conform to
the ideas of Governor War6eld and Attorney
Genera! Bryan, as expressed in their cam
paign speeches. with the exception ofrequiring
the votes of three judges in discarding bal
lot

LETTERS. whose members shook their
fingers scornfully at the organization
The LETTERS faction sailed in ON the
ground Sunday night and. two towns
are now completed on the site.
The Rosebud reservation, long the
domain OF the red man, became a civ,
ilized country at 8 o'clock Monday
morning. BY o'clock Monday even
ing four towns sprang up by magic.
Everybody in the Rosebud country
proposes to get a chance at the town
site lottery. This is a new phase Of
the gambling program which has been
followed in the building up of the
country, and thereis d new zest, for
there is a chance to stack the cards.
That the cards are being stacked goes
without saying, and some one viii
come out of the game with roll Of
the long green, while the suckers, as
usual, will have endured the ruff1ing
Of their prismatic scales This won't
bother the suckers very much, for
they enjoy the game, and this, too,
adds another zest to the game.
Uncle Sam has reserved four town
sites in the reservation, running dag
onally across the country northwest
from Bonesteel. The first town, which
will be blazoned forth to the world as
the city of Herrick, is located about
FIVE miles beyond st. Elmo, which got
into the townsite game early and has
escaped many qof the travails and
birth pains that many of the new
towns are elected to endure. The next
town is located about twenty-one
miles beyond Bonesteel, and will re.
joice in the euphonious and Hibernian
name Of Burke This is not exactly a
tribute to the Irish, but is compli
ment to Congressman Burke, who
fathered the opening of the reserva-
tion and wrote the Rosebud bill. One
OF the other towns will in all likeli
hood be called Sully, after Jack Sully
the notorious bad man and horse thief,
whose career was recently terminated
by a well directed bullet from the
trusty gun of a member of posse
under Deputy United States Marshal
John Petrie. The fourth town has not
yet been christened. With these two
in full blast there will be five, count
ing st. Elmo, in the reservation. A syn
dicate is planning to locate few
more, and on Aug. % the state will
sell a few school sections, which it is
proposed to buy up for townsite pur
poses.

Reports From Various Sections flake Excellent
Showing-Wheat in Good Condition.

Oats Is such heavy crop that some
Of the farmers had TO set the first row
Of shocks out in the road in preference
to renting land on which to shock
their oats after cutting. Chris Nett
Ter, living near Memo, is the first in
that section to finish stacking wheat
He has new variety which was moi
injured by rust and which VIII yield
at least rs bushels per acre.
The first oats threshed in Charles
Mix county, SO far as reported, was
raised on the Gordon farm near Platte
and yielded SO bushels to the acre. r
Reading, a farmer living near Egan
threshed oats raised on his farm
which averaged IS bushels to the acre
Linn Beavers, residing near Jefferson
in the extreme southeastern part OF
the state, threshed winter wheat and
reports that 1t yielded an average Of
"a bushels per acre. 1t is Of fine quail
ity, sound and hard. His oats aver.
aged 60 bushels to the acre, which Il
the greatest yield of this grain yet re
ported anywhere in the state.
Fields that indicated yields Of af
least is bushels per acre are thfeshing
out only from Ia to is bushels, which.
shows, however, that the damage by
rust was not great. The wheat cror
in that locality, notwithstanding rust
injury, will be up to the average 81
former years in that part Of the state
Threshing has begun in Yankton coun
ty and the crop of oats is being hauled
to market. The quality is above the
average of last year. The first fye
loads brought to Yankton tested So
pounds to the bushels and were No. j
in every respect. The average yield
is so bushels to the acre. The rusi
was too late to be very harmful in the
southern counties. Fields which were
expected to 60 20 and % bushels are
turning out from lis to 20.
