The Partisan clergy and press have lately

so far as to ask point blank in their ser

tradespeople. who often go to ruin, victims
OF these social butterflies. Indeed, the rich
parvenu element crowding into Paris from
abroad is setting pace with magnificent
establishments, retinues of servants and
strings of powerful autos that the old
families find difficulty In following without
somebody's counting the cost very dearly.

INDIAN ALLOTTED LANDS.
Land Not Taken Will Make Homes fol
thousands.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 27.---Alloting
Agent Carl Gunderson has been in the
city several days. and says he has COM
pleted the field work of allotting on the
/ cheyenne River reservation. While all
the Indians on Cheyenne river have
been located, there are occasional
changes, which will take some time to
clear up. Mr.. Gunderson says that the
allotments take up about so per cent.
of the reservation, the rest being land
which will at some time in the future
pc opened to settlement. The land talk
Ell by the Indians was largely in the
vicinity Of their old home camps and
is not by any means all of the best of
the reservation. When this section is
opened to settlement there will be
homes for thousands of settlers, and
many of them will be given the oppor-
tunity to secure as good land as is to
be found in any part of the state.
Mr.. Gunderson was accompanied to
this city by Frank M. Conser, the gov
ernment agent who is looking after
the Investigations of affairs which are
going on in the Cheyenne River reser-
walton. These Investigations have
been in progress for several months
with hearings held at the main agency
and at the different subagenceis, and
the work is yet in progress. All kinds
of charges and complaints are being
heard, and the trip to this city by Mr.
Conser was in relation to the investi-
cation work When all the testimony
is secured it will be reviewed by the
Indian department, and whatever ac-
ton considered necessary will be talk
on by that department.

ings in South Dakota.
Pierre, s. D., Nov. N.-The investigation
before Insurance Commissioners n. Perkins
on the charge of violation of the anti-com-
pact insurance law of the state was prin-
cipally confined to local agents.
Their testimony was as to the use OF q
common rate book for what are known as
union companies" the book being fur
nished to them by Minneapolis publish
ing house. They said that their commits
sions were less from the union companies,
when they ..mixed" with others. than when
they devoted themselves to union com
pantes alone.
The principal witnesses for the COM
panies was j C. Ingram, of Chicago, as
sistant western manager for the German
American company, of New York. who
admitted that his company was one known
as union, and that the rates OF such COM
panies were alike In different sectiona but
he could not remember whether there had
been any agreements as to rates In South
Dakota since the anti-compact law went
Into effect. Neither could he tell whether
there had been any fixing OF rates within
the past five years.
The investigation is yet under way. In
case it is proven that the anti-compact law
has been violated the law shuts the Offend
ing company out of the state forsa Derfod
Of one year.

Nankton Young Women Shock Com

Yankton, S. d.. Nov. 3o.-The sensa-
aion Of the day here was caused by a
capture by Deputy James A. Dickson
Sunday night. For some months past
the officers have been aware that out
side parties were frequently chatting
with the prisoners in the county Jail.
Now that most of them have been Civ
zen sentences and await a trip to the
Sioux Fails penitentiary. precautions
have been doubled to avoid Jail de-
livery. Sunday night, convinced that
the visitors still came, the deputy
sprang a trap and succeeded beyond ex-
ipectations, capturing a half dozen
}YanSton school girls. The girls begged
ito he turned loose and were, after a
calling down of some severity. They
had been in the habit of going to the
jal to carry on conversations with
tSam Carr, 81 colored man charged with
lthe murder of Granville Thornton, and
}he had been getting flowers from the
lgirls. Asked to name the visitors, Carr
said he would rather take twenty years
l1han name one. He is a light-faced
negro, gentlemanly it is true, but the
affair has shocked the community.
