Yankton, s.. D., July 21.-Yesterday
marked another big day for Yank ton
registration business. A total Of
6,343 was reported. This total is not
80 large as yesterday, but still is, i'm
mense. The grand total of all days at
Yankton has now reached the unex-
q the Kan ton, officesealene but it reps
the lions share, of the bust
ness. The totals for the other three
places will fall short of the Yankton
mark some 10000. Yankton's grow
ing success is due to several factors.
The claims that Yankton asserted
about moderate hotel rates and Access
who came the first week and from
that time the big rush of the last two
weeks was assured. But Yankton has
done more than not to rob the peo-
pie. The visitors have been treated
as guests of the citizens and not as
strangers. No question has been
asked in vain. Information has been
free and help has been plenty to
those who needed it.
Landbuyers Also.
The trains coming into South Da-
kota are loaded with another class
of passengers in addition to the thou
sands who are here to register. The
Milwaukee today had 1900 home
seekers for various points turnout the
state. They are not in the state to
register but to buy land. The Chi
cago & North Western had thou
sand on their north-bound train, MAX
ing 1900 people on the two lines
coming to see. the settled portions OF
the state and to buy If they find suit
able bargains. The advertising that
the registration has given the state
is having it's effect early.
Officer Fox, while arresting man
for beating q waiter employed in one
Of the joints, was struck over the
head with a club in the hands of the
cook. Fox returned the blow with
the butt of his gun, cutting q cash in
the left side of the cooks head from
which the blood gushed in streams.

the treaties forbids action such as taken
by the St. Petersburg and smolensk.
Turkey Disclaims Responsibility.
In reply to- Great Britain's repre-.
sensations regarding the passage Of
the Dardanelles by the Russian vol.
unteer fleet, the Turkish government
disclaims all responsibility, insisting
that the st. Petersburg and Smol-
ensk passed in the capacity Of mer-
chant ships.
There is reason to believe that
Great Britain. is. exchanging views
with other powers regarding the op-
erations of the volunteer fleet steam,

flicted on neutral commerce or to-
which such commerce is liable.
Washington Posted.
The state department at Washing,

special attention to the legal aspect
of the seizure Of contraband, and it
is thought Secretary Hay may con
slider that the danger which menaces
American commerce passing thru the
Heu sea- is SuTIClent to warrant a
declaration respecting the attitude Of
America. This would be welcomed
by the foreign office here, which be-
lieves the principles actuating Amer

In mood to welcome. some irlterna-

General Laurie, conservative, in

Of Earl Percy, dndersecretary for
foreign affairs, in view of the ex-

BEARS TENTATIVE REPLY
Russian Ambassador and Lansdown
Hold q Conferences


Hold a Conferences.
London, July 21.--TheF Associated
Press learns that Count Bellckendorf
the Russian ambassador, alta confer
ence with Secretary Lansdowne yes
terday afternoon made what may be
considered to be a preliminary reply
to the British protest against the seiz-
ure of the steamer, Malacca. He as
sured the foreign secretary that his
government had no intention Of in
fringing on the rights of Great Britain
or any other neutral power, and that
If a mistake had been made in the
seizure Of the Malacca, unquestionably
the steamer will be Immediately re-
stored and damages would be paid.
The ambassador pointed out that it
was unreasonable to suppose that the
Malacca had been seized without good
grounds on the part of the COM
mander Of the St. Petersburg to be-
lieve that she had contraband on
board, and that unless this suspicion
was effectually disproved, the matter
would have to go before prize court,
which procedure Great Britain her
self follows. In the meantime Rus
STA would make full investigation in
order to establish definitely the
grounds on which the commander
acted.

Lansdowne that he had autographed
the British protest to st. Petersburg,
and said It would receive the imme-
diate attention of the car and Count
Lamsdorff. Subsequently Count Benc-
kendorff- informed Lord Lansdowne
that inquiries were ateonce begun and
that a prompt reply would be made.
There is reason to believe that the
Russian authorities incline to the con-
clusion that the commander of the
st. Petersburg made a grave mistake
in Selling the Malacca. This can be
established by his reports, which have
been telegraphed for, and if this opin-
ion IS confirmed, orders will be tele-
graphed to release the Malacca.

Great Britain also has raised, does

and Russian diplomats demand the
immediate attention which the Ma.

generally is as follows:

well, not to keep you in suspense
any longer, the way to cure the blues,
If you have them, and to stave them
off, if YOU feel them coming on, is to
put on all your best clothes and wear
them until the spasm passes off. The
girl who told me about this said that
no sooner did she perceive that she
was beginning to think what an unsat-

err did she feel that all was vanity,
than up to her room she rushed in a
hurry.
"Once there she would arrange her
hair as deliberately as possible and put
on the best petticoats-if silk, so much
the better-the best gown, collar, hat
and veil that she possessed. A pair
of fresh white gloves, she said, she
found of great efficacy in raising the

WHEN A GIRL Is
TWENTY-FIVE.

The hurrying months are passing,
Another birthday near
And some one is lamenting
In secret, so L hear,
The idle gossips whisper
That it is much too late
To hope for any miracle to save an
old maids fate.
What base insinuation!
What falsehood, line on line!
For lots of nice things happen when
girl is twentY-nine.
No doubt. Yet critics state
They're really quite old fashioned
And somewhat. out of date.

AS any one can see,
Have relegated sweet sixteens" to
tales of ancestry.
If heroines are older,
It's certainly sign
That lots of things may happen when

So do not grow too wistful
Ger long forgotten teens,
With signs of retrospection
For whispered might-have beens.
But if you smile as sweetly
AS then, and are as coy,
And never show that you prefer a
graybeard to a boy;
In short, if you're your own true self,
You'll never have to pine!
For everything can happen when a

voice, the look in her eye remains with
him.
