LATE NEWS.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 28.-The feder-
al grand jury has returned seven in
dictments in connection with the land
frauds now under investigation. The
large number in the batch and the
prominence of three of the number
with the two mysterious John Does"
indictments, make the day the most
sensational since the jury reconvened
in its present sessions.
The most important is an indictment
against d. William H. Davis, Mayor
of Albany, Ore, Second to this, and
hardly less important, are those of Sal
mon b. Ormsby formerly government
agent, and Clrak Z. Loomis, at one
time forest superintendent, Henry A.
Aoung and George Sorenson are not so
well known.
United States Senator John H. Nit
chell has not yet been allowed to APP
pear before the federal grand jury to
hear what charges it is alleged have
been, or will be, brought against him

Tartar is a word which gives an
Illustration of etymology gone astray.
The name "Tatar' las it is correctly
spelled is really derived from a Tura-
MAN root meaning ito stretch" and
hence ito draw the bow or Ito pitch
tents" But when the hordes of Tatars
burst upon eastern Europe from the
Asiatic steppes in the thirteenth cen.
fury the minds of students turned to
the ninth chapter of Revelation. The
Tatar invasion was interpreted as a full
tillment of the prediction of the open
ing of the bottomless pit. \. conSempo-
rary %chronicier writes of this Getest-
able satanic people issuing forth like
demons let loose from Tartarus. so
that they are ttly named Tartari."
Thus the misconception took root.

resources of the state to all the
eastern visitors, and we shall be
glad indeed to entertain the citizens
Of Sioux Falls during the week. We
know that Sioux Falls people feel
grateful to Pierre for attending the
carnival, but they are up a stump
for returning the favors. About the
only thing that Pierre has for the
people Of the state 10 attend is the
session of the state legislature every
two years. Now as 1T is a %foregone
conclusion that the legislature will
never more meet at Pierre it will be
a conundrum to Sioux Falls when
this first opportunity is going to
show up.

Pierre has adopted the program OF
of Mitchell in inviting the citizens
OF the state to make a visit out there
to see their town. How different,
however, is the method of procedure.
Mitchell invites the people to come

can come in squads large or small.
Do you notice that when Pierre
takes her friends out there that it is
always on Saturday? Those Pierre
fellows realize that there are mighty

Sequently to make the time seem
shorter they tote the guests out there
Saturday night and do their work on

Monday morning. By tins method
the visitors only have to lose two
working days in the week. That is

ity. Many Of the people who have
been taken out there have gone home
.disgusted with the long and weary
trip. Passengers don't get into
Pierre until nearly 2 O'Clock in the
morning and then they are routed
out by the capital committee to be
shown things. Then Sunday night
they have to climb out of bed long
about 3 O'Clock in the morning to
get the train home, many of them
spending a whole days travel in
reaching their destination.

1T has always been left with the

such a great change as the one con-

tamper with dates, and especially so
in this case. The spring has been
found the most satisfactory time and
the time which is most convenient to
the great majority of veterans, and
l believe that reunions should still be
held about that time.
ut must be remembered that the
Confederate veterans are situated diff
ferently from the Grand Army of the
Republic men, particularly in that they
are not held together by a big pen
sion list. Their wishes must be con-
suited, and if 1t is desired to have
large numbers of them present at the
reunions, the time which is most con-
venient should be chosen"
