II think he did," he replied. "At any
rate, the girl rode on the car until we
reached Third and Edmond streets on
the return trip. When we arrived at
the barns at 1884 in the morning he told
me that he had been having trouble
with her and that he was going down
town to see her and square himself. i
warned him at the time to be more care
full. He told me that she had threaten
ed his life because he had refused to
keep his promise to marry her."
'Do you believe that Bowman feared
the grip
II know that he was not afraid of her,
He always laughed when he spoke about
her having threatened his life, and said
that she would never carry out her
threats. He was not afraid of her be-
cause he was with her much of the
time."
The attorneys representing Miss
Stuteville regard Bagley as the most
important witness for the defense who
testified before the coroner's jury. It
is asserted that Bagley was not asked
to tell all he knew about Bowman's re-
latiens with the Stuteville girl and
other women. This testimony is said to
have been reserved for the trial of the
girl which it was felt was sure to follow
in the criminal court.

THE RICH MEN BARRED
new Ruling Will Be Of Benefit ia
the Poor Man In the Rosebud
DRAWING.

Sioux City, June 30.-A large number
OF people who go to the registration
places to attempt to get possession of
some of the Rosebud land are going to
be turned down under the terms of a
special ruling which has been made
with reference to the Rosebud opening
and the opening of other government
lands in North Dakota and Minnesota.
according to George G. Call who has
returned from business trip to Yank-
ton.
The special regulation is that any
person who owns more than 100 acres of
land at the time of the opening will not
be permitted to file on the Rosebud land.
Those who own just quarter section
camille, but those who have in excess of
that will be excluded.
"The information came from United
States Senator Gamble" said Mr.. Call.
81 talked with William H. Edmonds,
cashier of the Yankton National bank
and others regarding this matter which
has not yet been promulgated by the
land agents or locating agencies. Off
cial notice, however, has been received
by the commissioners and registers of
the land Office where the registration
is to take place.
"Of course there has long been Sec
tion of the homestead laws which pro-
hibits any person from proving up on a
quarter section of government land but
one time, or in other words from exer-
cising his homestead rights as an Amer
lean citizen but once. This new ruling
prevents a person owning more than a
quarter section, it matters not how it
was acquired, from filing. The rule was
made to apply to the opening of the
Rosebud and the North Dakota and
Minnesota reservations, which are to be
thrown open to settlement under the
homestead laws about the same time.
"It is expected by Yankton people
that thousands of men who are disquali-
fed by being fortunate enough to own
already more than quarter section Of
Hand will go to the registration places
and find when they go to take the oath
that they are barred. These lands were
ordered opened by the government for
the purpose of giving poor people who
are not land owners chance to take
homesteads and to get a start in life
and in order to do this men already rich
in lands have been cut out. The ruling
is most important one, and will create
a good deal of comment"

LOOKS LIKE PARKER.
Everything Points to a landslide for
Judge Parker at the st. Louis
Democratic Convention.

The Democratic National Convention
convened at st. Louis yesterday morn
ing and at the time THE REPORTER went
TO press last evening it looked as if
there had been big landslide to Judge
farker and there is no longer any doubt
that he will be nominated. The friends
OF Judge Parker insist that he will be
nominated on the first ballot and the
opposition to him is growing weaker
every minute. Many of the states
which were claimed for other candidates
nave announced that they will support
Parker, including Pennsylvania with her.

Will eliminate the free silver plank and

delegates at the convention appear to

that the candidates and platform will be
satisfactory to united democracy
which will be successful in November.
Senator Geo. W. Turner, Of Washington,
is being doomed for Parker's running
mate, and bets are freely offered that
the ticket will be Parker and Turner.

thought the nominations will be made
this afternoon, although they may go
over until tomorrow.

that beefsteak is bought by the pound
and not by the yard, and that windows

Of ''just herself and her husband" The
miseries Of the first year Of marriage,

establish a department where girls

its decoration and furnishing; house
keeping, with its expenses, its ac-
counts, its marketing, its cooking and
its laundry work; and finally the nur-
ture and training Of children, from the
care Of their physical needs to the Sc

Some one has estimated that the ag.

was, In 1901, more than half a million
miles. The apportionment Of mileage
to the different countries was as fol-

Africa, 14,1S7; North America, 226.-

worlds railroad mileage were during
the six years between 1896 and 1901
9,700 in 1896, 1O,747 in 1897, lO,s64 in
1893. 1850 in 1899, 1O,79S in 1900; 16

The most hopeful characteristic oi
the American colleges is the self-sup
porting student. The boys who have
worked their way through have not
| only conquered the adverse conditions
to which they were born but have also
always adorned all professions and
walks Of life. 1t has been said that
any boy in this country who wants an
education may get 1t, if he wants 1t
bad enough. The truth Of this is being
demonstrated now more clearly than
ever before. There Is common COM
plant that the poor boys chances to
get ahead in the world are not what
they used to be- This is not borne out
by the facts in any department of life.
More than ever before, character Is the
prime capital for success, and never
before were poor boys opportunities
for moulding his character as he sees
fit as good as they are now. There
was time In the history Of American
colleges when the earning, Of money
by a student during vacation to help
pay his tuition bills was so exception
al proceeding as to excite remark.
But there appears to have been a great
change. The growth Of the practice is
Indicated by the report of the secre-
tary Of the Columbia College commit
tee on employment for students, from
which 1t appears that Columbia stu
dents during the past summer earned
$31, ,4O1, an increase of $4,000 over
their earnings for the year before. The
number Of vacation workers this wear
was nearly 10 per cent of the entire
university attendance The occupa-
tions engaged in ranged in variety
from truck driving to the operation of
printing Office, and the largest sun,
earned was $1,000 by a law student.
Many, no doubt, also carry on wage
earning labor during the college term.
1t Is unfortunate that this should have
been the case, for no college course
can be what 1t ought to be when
broken into by the necessities of self
support, though 1t Is, of course, far
better that student should study
under the disadvantage than that he
should not be student at all. Besides
1t has Its compensations. What the
wage-earning student loses from the
college course he makes up in practl-
cal application of his talents to the
work Of real life. He Is better pre-
pared perhaps, to step into his chosen
occupation when college days are over
than is the fellow student whose wav
has been made easy and who knows
nothing Of the difficulties to be encoun.
tered. The boy who works for his ed
ucatiOn learns what an education Ia
for and places 1t in its proper perspec
tive In his view Of life. And in max
Ing for 1t he unconsciously builds up
within himself something of more
value even than education, and that Ia
character. No boy need despair be-
cause his father Is not rich enough to
buy him an education. If he wants It
bad enough he can get it, and by
working for 1t get something better
still along with it.
