Makes Friends Every Minute Of His
Stay In Metropolis.


New York, Nov. 12.-Rear Admiral
Prince Louis Of Battenberg has cap
tured New York heart and soul. The
absolute democracy and u~nassuming
cordially with which the admiral
prince receives his visitors of high and
low degree has made friends for him
every minute of his visit here. Had
King Edward planned q great diplo-
matte stroke in senoing his armored
cruiser squadron to American waters
he could not have entrusted the mis-
sion to a more competent diplomat
than Prince Louis.
There were three scheduled events
on Prince Louis program yesterday,
the first being a luncheon at Govern
Or's Island with Brig. Gen. Grant. This
was an elaborate affair and a dis
tinguished company was there to meet
the prince. The prince made the trip
to the island on the army ~quartermas-
ter's tug and was received at the land
ing with military honors.
After luncheon the prince attended
a brilliant reception at the New York
navy yard, where Rear Admiral Cogh-
Ian was the princes host.
Last night the prince and $50 Off
GERS Of the two squadrons were the
guests of the naval academy alumni

Sheriff Gunderson Of Clay County
Has Profitable Boarder.

Peter Carlson, who is confined in
the county Jail at Vermillion on a
charge of assault, refuses to eat. and
nothing that Sheriff Gunderson can
do will persuade the fellow to put
something wholesome into his stom-
ach. 1t has been several days now
since Carlson ate anything. Although
the food set before him is good. he
claims to have M appetite for it.
Carlson Is a stubborn fellow. like
wise eccentric. At Wakonda. where
he sold "hop tea," he would some
times get mad at his customers, turn
them out of the house. lock the door
and then parade up and down in front
of his place of bushes sand defy any
one to attempt to enter. While in
Wakonda he also refused to be
shaved there. but when it came time
to have his whiskers am%putated
would drive to Violin or Irene-a dis
lance of seven miles-and have his
face scraped. Sheriff Gunderson is
trying to work some scheme to have
his prisoner eat, but for ten days has
failed.

A%LCOTTING INDIAN LAND.
Government Agent Commences Work
at Grass.

Allotting Agent Gunderson is at the
Grass agency looking up a house for
his family. He will begin allotting the
land on this reservation as early in
the spring as the weather will permit.
Every head of a family will get GAO
acres, each single person over IS will
get 800 acres, and each child 100
acres.
In addition, each head Of a family
will receive a team of mares, a wagon
and harness, a COW, farming imple-
ments and $50 in cash. Besides this,
the Indians have about S350,O00 in the
treasury. There will be but little good
land left after the Indians receive
their allotments. All lands fronting
on the water courses We're taken up
some time ago, and most Of the level
fats have since been taken.
A ruling made by Judge Garland in
the United States court Is of great
interest to those living on or lear In
dian reservations. 1t decided that it
is contrary to law to bring liquor to a
Indian allotment until the Indian has
received full patent for his land. AS all
Indian allotments cannot be sold for
twenty-five years after he has received
the first trust patent. it follows that
many years will elapse before liquor
will be allowed on Rosebud, Yankton,
S~isseton and other South Dakota In
dian lands.

about 100 miles, and it is estimated
that there are at least 900 miles OF

New York, Nov. II. - Closing the
sessions of the week yesterday the
Armstrong committee of insurance in
v~estigation has behind it a mass of de-
tails and figures which. while of ap-
parent little interest to the laity, is OF
inestimable value to the committee.
The greater part Of the week has been
devoted to the Metropolitan Life In
suranCe company, the examinations or
President Hegeman and James NJ.
Craig, the actuary Of the company, be-
ing of a most technical nature. When
adjournment was taken yesterday the
committee had. not finished the exam
inatiOn of President Hegeman, and he
will be called again next week. Just
before the hour of adjournment yes
terday Mr.. Hegeman was excused
and Joseph Howard. Jr., a writer who
has been employed by the Mutual Life,
was called to the stand. He identified
vouchers that he had signed for money
received for writing advertisements
and reading notices for the Mutual
Life. Mr.. Howard denied that he had
ever sent any dispatches by wire and
was very strenuous in his assertion
that he had never written a line about
insurance for any paper on which he
was employed. characteriZing it as a
dirty trick"

HAS MOVED BUT FEW MILES.
Location of Center Of Population az
Compared With Other Years.


Compared With Other Years.
The matter of the center of popula'
ton in this state for several years has
been called up by the place which has
been designated as the center by Com.
missioner Robinson, from the report
of the census of this year, his location
for the 1906 census being the south
west corner of section 36-108-58. He
has also carried out the figures of the
federal census for both 1900 and 1890,
on the same basis of computation used
in locating the center for the 1905 cen.
sus, and finds that the center on that
basis for 1900 was the southwest cor.
ner of 29-10S-57, or two miles east and
one mile north of the center as now
located. For 1890 the center on the
same computation was at the south.
west corner Of section 19-10S-5S. All
these computations were made from
the same system of figuring, and show
a change Of less than ten miles in the
last fifteen years, going east from
1890 to 1900, and back west from 1900
to 1905.
