NEW LAND RULING.
Residence and Improvement on Home
stead Land Is Not Sufficient.


stead Land Is Not Sufficient.
Aberdeen, S. D.. Aug. 29.-The Aber-
deem land office has received from the
department of the interior a new ruling
upon final proof notices that is of great
interest and Importance to homestead
ers. The new ruling reads as follows:
Residence and Improvement alone
are not sufficient to establish or sustain
homestead claim. The law requires
cultivation Of the land also. Where the
land is shown to be more suitable for
grazing and the production Of hay
than for the cultivation of crops requir-
ing the breaking of the land, proof that
it has been used in good faith for these
purposes may be accepted as proof Of
cultivation, but proof should show that
the claimant has actually used the
land for such purposes, and to what
extent 1t has been 50 used"
The ruling is understood to apply to
cases where homesteaders are holding
down claims suitable for grazing pur-
poses, but who are keeping no stock ON
them and are not cultivating them.
Sheriff Cole today received word from
the comnandant at Fort Smelling. tell
ing him to take John H. Feighner, a
deserter from the United States army,
to that fort. Feighner gave himself up
to Justice w. o. Jones a week or more
ago, stating that he was deserter, and
requested that the United States army
officers be informed of his desire to be
returned for trial and punishment

James Lewis. of this city has given out
the startling information that he has
determined to resign the office of post
master to take effect as soon as his
successor can be appointed. This will
come as a great surprise to the citizens
of Canton, and more especially as there
is no known cause why Mr.. Lewis
should want to give up the very
lucrative position to which he has been
appointed, while yet more than year
remains before his term expires.

CHARLES W4GNER SAILS
John Wanomaker Tells Of Plans for
Nczo Hall for Him.

The Rev. Charles Wagner author of The Simple
Life sailed for France yesterday La Savoie.
He was surrounded by large company bidding
him farewell. Prominent among the friends who
accompanied Mr.. Wagner to the pier was John
Wanamaker
Mr.. Wagner is to publish How I Got My Idea of
Simplicity, and will follow II by The Simple Life
in America" The latter book will give the au-
thors impressions and ideas America and
American life Speaking OF his plans. he said:
Il know that other Frenchmen nave come over
here and their return have written books on
this country. My book will not be like theirs,
They America from the housetops. / went
into the homes and looked into the hearts Of the
people. When I came here I knew but one man.
John Wanamaker, and now ! know thousands
Of John Wanamakers put in Mr.. Wanna
maker.
Mr. Wagner caught his friend by the shoulder.
No he said: there is but one Mr.. Wanamaker.
The great impression that l carry away with
me-" he continued is that the Americans are sim
pie Of life in spite of the hustle and hurry Of life
There is a simplicity of life. a directness in deal
ing. and they are generous. Your people are not a
people of Representatives,. They are too much for
the realities
Mr.. Wagner paid a glowing tribute to American
women. He said; They of the finest type, in
spite of some superficial qualities They have large
hearts and their intelligence is of the finest type in
the world.
Speaking of his work. Mr. Wagner said:
w
too small. and while might be able TO build
suitable structure. cannot buy the ground. Oar
American friends help get the ground
The new building will probably be called The Home
OF the Soul. 1t will be focus of thought. for there
l will do my writing and carry out my work
Mr.. Wanamaker, who had been listening, said:
The case is in this shape At dinner it was
suggested that Mr.. Wagner had been giving him
self to America and now when he stepping
on the steamship to face his real work among
the poor, and hampered by lack OF funds, a com
mttee was formed to unite those who could help
in effort to provide for a commodious
meeting hall dispenSary, mothers house and boys
club. at least to the of making him a
present OF the ground. A site in that part of
Paris viii cost between $4,000 and $4,000. Mr..
Wagner has served America well that il would
only show a kindly spirit to take some interest
in his hearts work. Mr.. Wagner has hold Of the
hearts and sick souls to those whose conditions
turn them toward man who breaches the Divine
Gospel in . human way and in the words of to-
day Hitherto he has shared what small return
there was from his books with his congregation.
With his enlarged circle Of friends in America
some think II possible 10 put their shoulders to
his and help toward getting suitable building
for him. HIS present small hall holds a fourth
of the audience under the roof. while three
fourths have to be satisfied with the sidewalk
