FARM LADIES.
Something of the Large Colony OF
Ladies Who Have Taken
Claims on the Rosebud.

Bonesteel dispatch, 81: Two hun
dred and thirty one women, all mar
riageable, are to be found on 231 farms
in the Rosebud reservation. Since the
news of these women and their prizes
has begun to creep out, tentative letters
nave begun to creep in from men who
would become farmers if they could Sc
cure wives and farms. Many will be
the romances that will follow the luck
of these women in the big land lottery
last summer
These are the women who won the
choice quarter sections on the Ieserva-
tion. Many more women drew farms,
but more than half have not filed.
The above number, however, won
such desirable farms that they have
braved the bitter winter to file en- their
claims. They are of the good, snbstan-
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 winter
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 establish a home
stead. The six months in which the
homestead laws declare the entries shall
be made after the claim has been taken,
expired February 8. When that date
arrived congress had not yet acted on
the proposed law to extend the time to
the first of April, to afford more season
able weather for the prospective settlers
to 90 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 sum-
mer

Grand Hustle i'm Preparing to
Build Railroad West of
Chamberlain.

Chamberlain dispatch. 81 The city
council held special meeting this af
telncon to confer with the right way
agent of the White River Valley Rail
road company. AID application wa:
made for right of way and franchise
leading to the Missouri river and across
American island lying opposite the city.
Assurances were given that actual
work of construction on the line from
this city 10 the Black Hills would begin
immediately and that thirty days hence
ever ything would be in full blast.
Sitxy-four cars of bridge timbe1s fol
the crossing are now on the sidetracks
between here and Mitchell. The neces
sary franchise will be granted as rapid
ly as is permitted by provisions of law.
Surveyors have been at work for q
couple of weeks running out the lines oi
the crossing over the Missouri river.
Mitchell Republicans: For the past
week carload after carload of bridge
timhers nave been arriving in the city
over the Milwaukee road and filling III
the switches. At present there are
about twenty caIloads of tamarack tim
bers that measure 45 feet in length.
This is not all; there are more on the
way being shipped from Findley juno
tion, Mich.
In view of the railroad extension talk
west of Chamberlain the question ma
turally arises. Are these not to be us
ed in connection with bridge building
at Chamberlain TO provide for tempo
rary structures. The destination of tht
timbers and their disposition are abso
lutely unknown, but the inference does
Lot seem to be overdrawn that they are
to be used out at Chamberlain. Wher
they are moved out of Mitchell then i
will be possible to arrive at some con
clusions
1t has been known for two weeks
that railroad material was being ship
ped out this way, the objective poin
being Chamberlain, and the arrival o.
these timbers shows that there is some
thing very favorable in the wind

Washington dispatch. 21: The epi.

secret sessions that are given to the
public through the newspapers.
1t is probably well known that mo-
tion by any senator 'that the senate

from the president, except his annual
message, is considered behind closed

a motion the galleries are cleared and
the doors locked and the doorkeepers

the motion is made and engaged in con-
versation with some senator. they are
all uncerimoniously hustled out.
In secret session the official reports of
debates are excluded and no record is
kept of what transpires. In open ses-
sion every word senator utters goes
into the Congressional Record, there to
stand for all time. and fof this reason
senators ale more guarded in their ut
tsrances, but in executive session a SEN
ator may say what he pleases with the
assurance that his utterances can never
be brought against him, and even
though the press may print the sub
stance of what he has said there is no
way of proving that he said anything. :
In open session smoking is prohibit
ed, but behind closed doors the cigars
jump from vest pockets and matches
crack and in two minutes clouds of blue
smoke are ascending toward the ceiling.
After an hour s executive session, when
the doors are opened and the galleries
are at the disposal of the public, guests
obtain second hand cigar smoke with
out cost Visitors oftentimes ask what
produces that blueish, hazy appearance
of the upper stratas of the all immed-
lately following a secret session.
It is said the awful dignity OF the
senate vanishes with the sounding of
the three bells announcing a secret ses-
sion. 1t is even said that senator's en-
gage in mild athletics and elevate their
feet upon their desks and indulge in
conversation of a most informal char
acter during these closed sessions. 1t
is certain that doorkeepeIs who act with
