ROW AT SALUDA.
Six Negroes Attempt to Take the
Town,

On last Thursday night six negroes
concluded two take chargesof the South
ern railway outfit and the town of Sa-
luda at the same time two officers and
many citizens joined in pitch battle
and when the smoke cleared away six
negroes were in limbo and quiet was
restored One of the negroes in the
meelee wrenched a pistol from one of
the officers and made an attempt to
shoot him but by-standers took a part
In the fight and saved the officers life.
One of the negroes received load of
shot in his face from a gun in the
hands of citizen, and, this probably
saved the life of the officer. The whole
gang was houni and brought to Hen
dersonville and lodged in Jail. The
cause of the whole trouble was, just as
usual, attributed to liquor. All of the
gang were we'll tanked with the iniqui-
tous and soul-destroying beverage.
Riot and rogury followed the drinking.

where liquor selling is prohibited by
law. The same requirements in obtain
ing licenses for grain distilleries is re-
quired as for sale of liquor, with twelve
,freeholders on application for distil-
leries or saloons, this in place of six.
No saloon or distillery is to be within
200 feet of church, nor where sale of
liquor is prohibited by law, provided
that no license is to be granted to
manufacture where manufacturing IS
prohibited by law. The merchants tax
is omitted. Dealers in pistols may sell
pistol cartridges without the 500 tax.
The tax of 40 cents on the 800 IS
stricken from the taxes on sales of pia-
nos and organs. Piano and organ firms
are allowed agents at tax one dollar
each and $5.n0 each to county without
tax by town, city or county. A tax of
2 1-3 per cent on business done in the
State is put on express companies, only
the ad valorem tax being allowed towns
and cities.
There were no changes of any i'm
portance made in the Machinery Act,
except that there are some additions
to the property exempt from taxation,
these being mainly in line with the
property now exempt.
The committee rose, but It's being
shown that only thirty-five members
present no report was made to the
House. The bill will be reported on
Monday and other changes are to be
expected.

serves to take place among the classics:

RoMANCES FOLLOW FILINGS.

BONESTEEL, S. D., March 81
Two hundred and thirty-one women,
all manageable are to be found on
231 farms in the Rosebud reservation
their prizes has begun to creep out
tentative letters have begun to creep
in from men who would become far
mers if they could secure wives and
farms. Many will be the romances
that will follow the luck of these wo-
men in the big land-lottery last sum-
mer.
These are the women who won the
choice quarter sections on the reserva-
ton. Many more women drew farms,
but more than half have not flied.
The above number, however, won
such desirable farms that they have
braved the bitter winter to file on their
claims. They are of the good, substan-
tial class who mean business. They
want to acquire some property to
make them more Independent. They
are not all of an unattractive age either
for many OF them are ambitious young
women, principally school teachers.
Some are widows, and they represent
all ages and social conditions.
Some of the women came last win
ter when the mercury was lowering
around the bottom of the tube. They
were not going to take any chance of
losing their rights by failing to estab-
lish homestead. The six months in
which the homestead laws declare the
entries shall be made after the claim
has been taken, expired Feb. 8. When
that date arrived, congress had not yet
acted on the proposed law to extend
the time to the first of April, to af-
ford more seasonable weather for the
prospective settlers to go upon their
claims and build their improvements
The women were more careful about
protecting their rights than the men,
who were disposed to trust congress to
do the right thing, which it did ulti-
mately do. The women are building
small houses, and expect to live on
their claims and DO some farming this
summer.

in the country, and their efforts have
been strengthened by the influence of
Hamilton King, American minister to
Siam. 1t has been represented to the
king that the gambling business was a
detriment to his country and the mon
arch, who, for an Asiatic ruler, is en-
lightened and progressive, has come to
see that this is true.
But the king has a difficulty to face
because large part of the revenue of
Siam is now derived from the gambl-
ing concessions. To meet the loss oc-
casioned by their abolition in the coun-
try districts it has been decided to in
on the people a burden as heavy as
they can be expected to bear. Large
revenue is gained from the city gambl
ing houses, and the king of Siam pro-
poses that it's loss be met by raising
the import dues a little. To do this will
require the consent of the other ma
tons, and so 1 say that on them, es-
pecially on the United States and Eng
land, depends the question whether the
gambling in Bangkok shall or shall not
be stopped Siam is an extra-territo
rial country, and by treaties the i'm
they cannot be raised without the per-
mission of the nations.
There are 1913 gambling places III
the interior of Siam. BY the kings de-
cree eighty of them will be abolished
next April. The remainder of these in
terror places will be abolished in April,
1906, and those in the city of BANGKOK
will be closed the following year if the
matter of revenues can be adjusted. In
this way the change will be gradual
one and in little over a year the
whole of the evil will be centered in
Bangkok, where is to be found the
largest occidental population Of the
country This population will, it is
| hoped, help in getting the import dues
| legislation from their governments.
This movement on the part of the Sia
mese government is a tremendous step
| in advance and one which merits the
! approval Of the whole world 1t will be
the fault of Europe and America if Ie-
galized gambling is not abolished in
| Siam in the very near future

ALLISON NEATLY TURNS TABLE"
Dobson Is Switched to Hangchow, Chi
ma, From NOTTINGHAM.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, March 81
Senator Allison has lost none of his
prestige in the Dobson- Mahin contro-
versy which has been agitating the
Iowa delegation in Washington. When
it was suddenly announced ten days
ago that George L. Dobson, former
secretary of state, had been named to
succeed Harold w. Mahin, as consul
at Nottingham, and that Senator Ali
son had not been consulted, Iowa poll
ticians wondered whether the senior
senator's power was waning. From
the Iowa end of the line it looked that
way, especially when it was taken
into consideration that Mahin is
strong supporter of Congressman A. F.
Dawson, who was formerly private
secretary to Senator Allison.
That Allison quickly turned the ia
bles after the nomination had been
sent to the senate, and Dobson and mis-
friends had the victory practically won
is regarded as sufficient evidence of
the senior senator's power.
Secretary Dobson did not con-
ceal his chagrin when he learned from
a telegram which arrived here that
his nomination to the consulate at Not
tingham, Eng, had been withdrawn,
and he had been nominated for the
consulate at Hangchow, China, instead.
Mr.. Dobson had counted much upon
the opportunities he would be afford
ed of studying the tariff at Noting
ham, He says however, that he will
accept the Hangcnow appointment and
through the press here has expressed
his thanks to the president.
Politicians say that tampering with
Allison's plans in Washington is like
monkeying with a buzz saw.

Still the cry goes up from the pub
fishers that there is dearth of short
stories in the market. A glance at
some of the periodicals of the day
gives tangible evidence that there is
some sort Of a shortage affecting the
tables of contents. 1t is not 80 easy
as it looks to write a good short story,
even one "as good as some that get
printed"
Lectures to aspiring young authors
upon the kind Of story to write are use
less. Each aspirant for the publishers
check and literary fame will write the
kind of story that is in him or her. and
that, by the way, is just the kind and
the only kind wanted by publisher or
reader.
The way of writing a story, or Of
putting, is subject to variations, and
in that phase of authorship the begin.
ner has everything to learn. 1t Is not
always best, perhaps never, to set out
to write a story as a maiden effort il
literature. Expression is the art to DO
mastered, and important features of
that art are often mastered by fugitive
writing for the newspapers, for friend.
ly correspondents and for readings be-
fore literary gatherings. A good look.
ing bunch of manuscript wins half the
battle by creating a good impression
Offhand. 1t is certain to be read by
the editor, and for that the beginner
ought to be grateful.
