Monday Nights Entertainment Was

1t il quite often the case that people
turn out to a home talent exhibition of

them to be be classed as professionals

TIE DEACON
The leading part in this Was taken
by Elmer Ely. Elmer was in his usual
good stage behavior and added to his
fame by carrying through ina most ef-
fective manner difficult and, to him,
entirely new character. Elmer can al.
ways be trusted to be versatile enough
to do u good stunt as the old man, the
callow youth, the heavy william, gentle
lover, or almost anything In that line.
David Stratton had the difficult task
of acting as host, befogging the eyes of
a somewhat threatening uncle, and set

He was very graciously assisted out Of

The result WAS that Pierre received
27,266 votes, while Mitchell received
only 7,TaS votes out OF total vote of
TITO, Or. oyer one third OF the Whole
people OF the state voted in favor 1T
Pierre as against all the other towns ia

mately ten to one against the town Of
Mitchell.
In this election Pierre carried ss

or less interested in the opening to set
lament of the Rosebud reservation.
FOR years they have watched the pro-
gress of the steps that have been taken
to place the land on the market, aud
now that it has practically reached that
point, they may gain the desired infor-
nation by reading the following letter
OF information from ashington.
The bill ratifying all agreement with
the Sioux Indians to open for settle.
ment their lands Of the Rosebud reser.
walton located within Gregory county,
South Dakota, has passed the house
and is expected to pass the senate any
day. ~
Upwards Of 10000 acres Of fine agri.
cultural and grazing land will be open
ed up for settlement, which will pro-
vide allotments to the. extent OF $500
in number
The price Of these lands, per acre, ac-
cording to the bill and approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, and the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs, will be as
follows:
HOW PAID FOR
upon all land entered or filed upon
within six months after the same shall
be opened for settlement and entry, SO
per AGRA. is to be paid as follows: 800
per acre when entry is made; 50 cents
per acre within two years after entry;
so crnts within three years after entry;
so cents per acre within four years af
ter entry, and so cents per acre within
six months after the expiration OF five
years after entry.
''After the expiration of six months

50 cents per acre within two years after
entry: 50 cents per acre within three
years after entry; SO cents per acre

cents per acre within six months after
the expiration OF five years after entry"
VALUE OF LAND
Officials declare that this land on an
average will be worth at the time of
ntry at least five times more than it
cost the homesteader to obtain. Or
course some sections of land, according
to location and probable commercial
settlement will be greatly enhanced in
value almost immediately.
PLAN OF OPENING
No arrangements have as yet been
agreed upon as to the plan Of opening,
nor will it be known for certainty un-
til after the bill becomes a law what
system will be adopted. Both President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hitchcock of
the Interior are we'll pleased with the
result Of the lottery scheme used III the
opening OF the Oklahoma country, and
it is the general opinion this plan will
be adopted in the opening of the Rose.
bud country.
A prominent official of the govern.
ment said the following plan willlikely
be adopted;
There will be a period of registration
lasting thirty or forty DAYS Drior To the
opening. during which each applicant
for these lands will berequired to show
