OIL KING ADVISES
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER TALks Te
MEMBERS OF HIS SONS
BIBLE CLASS.

New York. May 9. - To members
OF his sons Bible class at the class
club house on West Forty-fifth street
Saturday evening. John D. Rockefeller
told the story of his preliminary train
ing, trials. struggles, successes and
failures. which ultimately transform
ed this poor country boy into one Of
the wealthiest men in the world.
Tells Story of His Life.
For an hour he gave facts and mar
rated details of those early days, COM
menting on them and drawing from
them aphorisms for the guidance of
his hearers in their own struggles.
There was nothing boastful about the
address and no -glorification At
times it appeared almost as if he was
speaking in the third person. Men
and things that had helped him were
recalled, sometimes affectionately and
several times with touch of pathos
in his voice.
Early Start In Business.
His business training was begun al
home at the age of 8. To his early
understanding of the value and i'm
portance. Of money, hard work, care
fulness, and good association, Rocker
Teller attributed his success in life
He gave instances where each hat
played part, but just at his reference
to the founding of the Standard OF
company he stopped talking. The init
nation was that what he had told ex
planned why success had crowned his
efforts. and the rest was unimportan
detail.

Chamberlain, S. d.. July 29.-Spec-

the game.

the general land Office, this afternoon
told how ACCOMPLISHMENTS may be
made.

"a mar NAV relinquish, but he will
have to hold his land for sixty days.
What will he have to do in that
time? Nothing, but file and pay the
government price which is required at
the time Of filing, namely, 81 an acre.
During the sixty days Intervening, ii
he relinquisnes, the lands cannot be
disposed of except under the condl-
lions of the lottery. That is, if he
relinaaishes within that time some
man who has drawn a number may
file on the claim but none other. AT
the end Of the sixty days he may re-
llnquish, and of course, some one else
may file on 1t immediately"

The Crop Conditions

The crops are so spotted over the

actual results when all are garnered.
The small grain will not be up to the
average except in a limited area-that

The crops are all poor at the west end
-particularlarly between Bijou Hills
and Chamberlain. This is something
unusual for the last named locality,
where a good crop is raised nine years
in ten. 1t is too early to figure on the
orn crop. Field 8 thatwere we'll put

William Mccormick. the NebraSkan
who drew No. / in the Rosebud draw
ing, through his agent who registered
q soldiers declaTatorY for him at
Chamberlain, has secured a thirty
days layotf from his clerkship duties
at Washington and is now en- route to
Bonesteel. The Sioux City Tribune
says that it is reported that McCor-
mick made a contract to "divY" with
his attorney, Samuel Herrick, land if
SO there is ali sorts of trouble in store
for him. as any deal of that kind for
feits his right. Continuing the Tri-
bune says:
While there has been a good deal OF
talk about No. l receiving $4,000 for
his farm, no n can be found who is
offering to buy. In fact this is true
with most of the successful ones.
Most of them are willing to sell their
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, when sixty days
have elapsed. but there are no takers.
Fancy prices will not be given, either.
1t is said that three-fourths of the
Sioux City people who drew farms are
willing to sell.
One man who has a number we'll to
the top has made an offer to sell for
for 800. Many of those who are viii
ling to let 20 of their chances haven't
the necessary 5000 to put up for filing
fees and expenses.
Now that the fever of the lottery is
passed. the successful ones are discov-
ering that their farms cannot be dis
posed of at fancy figures. Some of the
surveyors VINO have been yer the
Rosebud declare there are only 600
claims suitable for farming. There
are 400 desirable for farming and stock
raising combined and the remainder
of the 2,4G0 quarters can tie used only
for sIockraislng. This statement is
made by State Senator Gunderson of
Vermillion, an engineer who surveyed
several Of the townships and has plats
of the entire Rosebud tract.
Locating agents have been busy
sending notices to the people who
drew claims at Chamberlain. Sioux
City winners have received from two
to three dozen postal cards and letters
congratulating them on their good
luck and assuring them that their
claims are worth not less than $4,000

1t is generally admitted that the
Indians haYe taken allotments of the
most valuable land along Ponca and

secure claims having good water.
There are a few, however, which have

MANNERS AND CUSTOMS
OF THE LITTLE JAPANESE

TOKYO, Feb. 27.--The greatest events
in the ordinary life of a japanese are
birth marriage and death, each being cele-
brated with formaity. Eggs are common
but honorable presents on such occasions.
In addition to 45O eggs, the first American
child born in Alito was favored with num-
erous other gifts.
New Year day is celebrated as a national
birthday and the individual birthdays are
not specially observed. The wedding cere-
mony is simple. The feature is the three
three-nine-times Bride and groom drink
three times out of three cups Of different
sizes. This is a social sidelght on the
wedding ceremony, and corresponds with
the western wedding reception. Marriage
is a civil contract only, and its legality
rests in the registration. AS this is often
omitted, divorces are easy and frequent,
which is a handy thing in land where
there are 100000 more men than women.
The Jap is a fatalist and death has no
terrors for him. Funeral ceremonies are
EXPENSIVE and elaborate. The Shinto rites
are palmer than the Buddhist. In the
former the coffins resemble those Of the
occident. but in the latter the coffin is
small and square, 30 that the corpse is
placed in sitting position, the head bent

1t will take up every question of diff
Guilty or disagreement between labor unions
and employers. 1t will be incumbent upon
every union in the city to submit all
troubles to this committee.
The committee will hear all sides of the
case and will carefully deliberate on the
standing of all parties.
The party that has justice on its side
will be favored, arbitration rather than
striking or disruption of friendly feeling
being always the goal to be sought for.
1t is proposed in this way to patch up
troubles, prevent strikes and prevent fric-
ton of any kind between employee and
employer. Everything that cool, calm, con-
sentative heads can do to bring about a
better fraternal feeling between the two
great factions of commercial life will be
done.
President Templeman is a young man
with progressive ideas. He always has
advocated peace instead Of strikes. He
believes in his plan, and to carry it out
in st. Paul, the first city where the idea
is to be tried, he has surrounded himself
with good men.
Templeman is a linotype setter on St.
Paul newspaper.
