LIMESTONE N ROSEBUD LAND.
Development Of. the Discovery Will
Prove Boon to Settlers.

Gregory, S. D., Dec. 27.-Quite n sem
sation has been sprung here in regard
TO the discovery of limestone on the
farm of Mr.. Casper near town. To prove
that it is the real thing Mr.. Casper
burned small quantities OF 1t in his
stove and handed 1t to some of the
citizens OF the town who .slaked it. The
lime slaked quickly. emitted the proper
pdor, the water heated, and the material
when properly mixed with sand made
a mortar which adhered properly and
set readily and as solidly as any Of the
time imported.
A portion. of Mi. Casper's farm lies
On what might be termed a terrace,
Using abruptly out of theSland around,
1t and the work of the elements which
tend to round off hills has here been.
arrested by this ledge of limestone,
which oItcrops from near the top of the
terrace.
1t is a ledge about fourteen feet
thick, and there are fragments broken
Oft by being undermined from erosion
" the soil under it, us large as the body
of q box car.
The supply is inexhaustible as It un-
der.ies aEconsiderable area sndscould
be burned with comparatively small
expense.
The discovery will be a great boon to
the inhabitants as the high freigflts
make the use OF cement and lime pro-
hibitives to building stone buildings
But with lime cheap they can utilize
the abundant bulldog stone, which In

TELLS OF BOYCOTT.
Prominent South Dakota chinaman
Visits His Home Land.

Deadwood, s. D., Dec. .7.-Wons
Hong Quong, u son OF DR.. Wing Tsue,
who is the ncad OF the Chinese colony
in this city, las Just returned from
Hong Kong, where he has been attend
ing Inc Queens college. He wa born in
this city twenty-One years ago ana
has spent most of his time in the Black
Hills. his father is wealthy, both in
Chinese goods, which he sells to tour
lists, and in mining property. Wong
Hong Quong will take Il course Ill the
state school of mines of Rapid City. He
tells an interesting story about the boy
colt OF American goods IN China. He
states that this boycott is growing
worse every day notwithstanding the
reports published in this country TO the
contrary. Frequent meetings are held
in Shanghai and lien Tsin and Pekin
for the purpose of stirring up the mat
ter. AT Canton notices have been post
ed up all over the city ~denouncing the
Americans OH account OF their refusal
TO admit Chinese immigration into this
country. Wong Hong Quong states
that the Chinese government does not
countenance the boycott, but it Is i'm.
possible to check the feeling among the
different ella sscS of people. He asserts
that the Japanese are packing up the
Chinese to 4; great extent in this boy
colt. They are urging the Chinese TO
continue to discard American goods for
their own personal reasons. The Japa-
nese people,, according to this China
man, believe that it will not be long
before America will exclude from immi-
grafton the Japanese laborers from the
united tSates The same as h Chinese.
A short time 6 a ship load of -four
arrived from New York and was offered
at a very cheap price, but there were no
Chinese buyers. Wong Hong Quong
was in China at the time that Secre-
tary Taft made his visit and he states
that the hines were in no way paci-
fled by the secretary's statements. The
worst boycott is III Shanghai and Tien
Tsin. Wong Hong Quong states that
the only way this boycott can be broken
is for the United States to admit the
Chinese immigration, which the Chi.
nese people do not expect to happen.

CHANGE IN THE MAILS.
A Transfer at Marshall Will Enable
Cities to Get IL in Batter lime.

Cities to Get 1t in Better Time.
Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. 28.-A condi-
ition requiring special efforts resulted
from an attempt of the Chicago M
northwestern Railroad company to
continue carrying the mail from
points in the northern part of South
Dakota. to the southern part and to
Sioux City.
1t required the better part of two
days under the original method of
handling mail from that section of the
state north of the Northwestern line
running westward to Pierre to carry
the mail from h a region to Sioux City
and Sioux Falls. This proved to be an
injury to the wholesalers of the two
sands of other persons. Finally ar
engagements were made for the transfer
Df the mail from that region from the
Northwestern rOad to the Great North
ern at Florence. MINI.

avoiding the Florence transfer and
giving the Northwestern the exclusive
haul.
Commissioner Davenport, of the
Sioux Falls board of trade, h with
others secured The original arrange
mertt did not propose that the efforts
of himself and associates should go
for naught. 1t was ascertained by
him that II the mail was transferred at
Marshall. Mimi, 1t would reach Sioux
City and Sioux Falls on the same
train as If transferred ut Florence.
Accordingly the matter was called to
the attention OF the postofice depart
ment at Washington.
The result Is that Notwithstanding
the strenuous objections of representa-
tives of the Northwestern road, the
postofilce department has now issued
an order for the transfer of the mail
at Marshall. This will prove n great
convenience to the merchants Of the
north half Of South Dakota, and to the
wholesalers OF Sioux City n Sioux
Falls.

Person to Locate Places to Raid.
Milbank, s. D.. Dec. 25.-"Make the
boys dig up and send it (s150) to
me-"
These words in q letter sent to a
oman at st. Paul, MIMI, by a man
giving his name as Frank Hudson. who
IS an inmate of the county Jail in this
-ity, leads the local authorities to be-
!iere that Hudson is q member of a
Nang Of expert cracksmen who had
planned to raid banks in some of the
small towns in this part OF South Da-
kota.
After being arrested and lodged in
the county Jail here, Hudson asked per-
mission to write the letter, expressing
confidence that he would be able to
secure the mount of money written
Tor. The police at st. Paul were noti-'
lied OF the letter being written, and
when confronted by them the oma
10 whom h letter was sent claimed
she knew nothing about Hudson, init
mating that he was a complete stanger
to her.
The reference i'm the letter to the
boys" bears ont the suspicious OF the
local authorities, who believe that
Hudson was the advance man for some
gang OF robbers. who had designs on
banks In this locality. Hudson. who is
thought to have assumed the name of
Hudson for the purpose of concealing
his true name, has only one eye and
claims to IN lost the other in y
mine explosion.
1t has been ascertained by tho Au-
thorities that he rode from st. Paul to
Marvin, near Milbank. on a freight
train, ana at the latter place got OF
and walked back to the place where
he afterwards was arrested. He pro-
ceeded some three miles north OF Mil
hank, pnrposely avoiding the town. Al.
the home OF Henry Schorman. a farm
er, he stole u pocketbook. g He claims
to have burned the money which the
pocketbook contained in a stove at the
schoolhouse where he subsequently,
was arrested. The p~ocketbook was
still in his possession when he was
placed under arrest.
When Conslabia Friday located I1ud-
SON in the schoolhouse, the officer was
warned not to approach too closely or
he would have si.ls head blown on
Tke constable needed the warning ms
