The Bund, however, was not stifed out OF
existence. Secret organizations throughout
the northwest led to fresh government in

more revolutionary Jews were arrested and
publicly flogged at VIlna. Jewish work
man, Leckert by name, resolved to avenge
his comrades. He fired on the governor,

This act drove the Bund into state of fury.
There was a serious movement in favor OF
terrorism and a secret governing committee

more than thirty-five armed demonstrations
against the arbitrary methods of the police.

Before Deception Was Discovered.
After supposing for twelve years
thai she was a legal wife, Mrs. l.. l..
Johnson of Forest City is applying for
legal separation from l.. l.. johnson,
on the ground that he has another wife
living in Wisconsin from which he has
never been legally separated. In the
early days of the Fairbank boom, when
that town of western Sully county was
a lively place, l.. l.. Johnson came in
with the crowd and opened a store.
He remained until the town was de-
serted, being the last business man to
quit it. While there he met and mar
ried Miss Agnes Nicol, and to them
son was born who is now about ten.
No intimation Of anything wrong
came until last fall, after the Johnsons
had moved to Forest City, when a
young man appeared on the scene and
claimed Johnson as his father, bring
ing the information that the first Mrs
johnson was yet living. The second
wife Immediately demanded the prop
erty which she had helped to accumu-
late. and it was turned over to her,
Johnson going to Evarts to live, leay-
ing the family at Forest City.

SOUTH DAKOTA FARMERS BUSY

Ground in Excellent Condition-Seed-
ina in Progress in All Parts OF the
State.
With continuance Of the fair
weather which is being enjoyed. the
farmers of South Dakota by the close
of the week will quite generally be
engaged in seeding. The ground is in
excellent condition for seeding opera
tons.
The clear, windy weather of the last
few DAYS has dried off the surface to
such an extent that the work of seed
ing will not be impeded in the least in
practically the entire state.
The recent heavy rains, following
the melting of the unusually heavy fall
of snow the latter part Of the winter,
have thoroughly saturated the soil be-
low the surface, making ideal condi-
tons for prosecuting the work of seed
ing.
If present conditions mean anything.
everything points to an unusually ia
vorable season, with the probability
that crops this year will be of the
bumper variety.
Favorable weather, in view Of the
early seeding, should place the small
grain crops out of danger before the
extremely hot weather which invari.
ably is experienced in the month OF
july

REPORT OF THE SOLDIERS H0NF
ooara VI commissioners Investigate All Complaints
ana Make Signed Report-hon,e
Is i'm Fine Condition:

The board Of commissioners of tho
soldiers home has devoted four DAVIS
to thorough investigation of yarious
matters relating to the home and it's
management. Due notice of the in
yestigation was given to the members
Of the home and to the public
through the newspapers and olher.
wise and all persons having any real
or supposed grievance or grounds of
complaint against the management of
the home were asked to appear before
the board and state their complaints.
and bring as many witnesses as they
desired, whether many or few.
Some complaints We're made by the
citizens of Hot Springs and one or two
officials of Fall River county. A ste
aographer was employed and all COM
plants and witnesses made their COM
plants and gave their evidence under
oath. AS it will be two or three
weeks before the stenographer will be
able to furnish certified typewriter
copy of the record taken during the
Investigation, the findings of the board
until the next meeting of the board,
which will be held during the latter
part of April.
Two or three letters containing
criticisms and complaints, sent to the
governor, were by him forwarded to
the board. These matters having
been fully considered, report has
been prepared and sent to Gov Elrod.
Many complaints made were trivial
and unimportant, and were not sup
ported by evidence, yet everything pre-
sented received careful consideration.
Members Of the house who appeared
before the board We're assured that
the filing of complaint or the giving
Of testimony should not result in any
prejudice against them on the part of
the commandant or the members of
the board, or their comrades in the
home. The investigation was public
and open to all who desired to come.
The board unanimously presents the
following report concerning the man
agement of the home by its officers:
"The members in any soldiers
home represent great variety in tenn
permanent, dispositions and habits. The
office of commandant is one that is pc
cullarly trying and difficult to fill.
Rules and regulations are necessary
tor it's successful government. Ordi-
narily they do not work serious hard
ship to its members. Law is neces-
sity in all governments, but it is a
well-known saying that law is a ter
cor only to evil doers.' A very large
majority of the members of the South
Dakota soldiers home are law-abid-
ing, orderly and peaceable citizens.

The water will be taken principally
from Belle Fourche and Redwater
rivers. A diverting dam will be built
mile and half below this city on
the Belle Fourche river. The water
will be carried through ditch six and
one-half miles long, which will be for
ty feet wide at the bottom and sixty
feet wide at the high water mark, and
will carry 1885 cubic feet of water a
second The water will be emptied
into a mammoth reservoir on Dry
creek, which will be built half mile
above the mouth of that stream.
This reservoir will cover 5000 acres
of ground, to a maximum depth Of
ninety feet, the capacity being 1907
600 acre feet, or enough water to COW
er $4,000 acres two feet deep. There
from this reservoir, one to be run
down the west side of Owl creek,
crossing the river with dam above
the mouth of Sinking Water, and wa
tering the land on the south side of
the river in the vicinity of Butte Vale
and Empire. This canal will be thirty
miles long. The other canal will irri-
gate the land on Indian creek falkland,
also the land on Willow creek divide.
The canal will cross Owl, Indian and
Horse creeks, with masonry struc-
lures, taking in the flood waters Of
these streams when they flow. This
canal will be sixty miles long. A res
ervoir will be constructed also at Will
son Lake basin, which will cover 1,SO0
acres with maximum depth of thirty
feet. This will water the land along
the lower portion of Belle Fourche
river and at the mouth of Horse and
Willow creeks.
Each person will be entitled to wa
ter for 100 acres of ground and no
more. 1t is likely that the govern
ment land will be divided into so acre
or 12O-acre tracts. All the structures,
such as dams and canals, will be of a
permanent character, little wood be-
ing used. The entire water system is
to be completed within at least two
years time.

WILL SOON BID ON IRRIGATION JOB
Belle Fourche Contracts to Be Let April 10
Beet Raising to Be important Industry.

Con tracts for all the Belle Fourche
The first company of surveyors will ar
rive this week to look after the bids
when they are let. They will come
from Denver and will be in charge of
II. E. Green
The tract that will be irrigated will
cover more than 200 square miles of
the choicest farming land in South Da-
kota. By actual test at the agricultur-
al college at Bookings it has been de-
termined that the soil in the vicinity
of Belle Fourche is especially adapted
to the raising of small fruits, alfalfa
and sugar beets. The sugar beet gave
an extraction of % per cent sugar.
The irrigated district is surrounded
by at least 100000 acres Of grazing
land upon which half million cattle
feed for twelve months in the year.
There is usually a shortage of feed
In winter time and one of the principal
crops of the farms in the irrigated
tract will be alfalfa.
There will I've about 10000 acres of
ground to be reclaimed by this system.
Something like $4,000 acres of this
amount is governn mt land which will
be subject to location. The ground is
worth without the water IS to $40 an
acre and as soon as it can be irrigat-
ed it will increase to SIS to $780, max
ing an increased value of the entire
tract of several million dollars. The
government expert has made esti-
mates that the annL~. yield from this
irrigated tract will amount to close
to $2,OOO00O. A number of farmers
along the river have been in CORE
spondence TO rsome time with Michi-
gan capitalists who are DESTROYS of
putting in a large beet factory at
convenient place to the farmers. 1t
is stated that the representative of the
Michigan people has been here, quiet
iy looking matters over, and has decid-
ed that a great field will! be opened
for the raising Of beets.
This Belle Fourche project will cost
over $2,OOO,OOO, an appropriation of
$2,100000 having already been made.

The state officers of the Modern
Woodmen OF America, in a circular
just issued, say:
THE next state camp meeting will
be held In the city Of Lead, on Wednes-
day. May g. 1905. 1t is not necessary
to state here that our neighbors in the
Black Hills will see to it that our stay
among them will be one sweet song
of welcome. They are the most hos
pitable people on earth, and no one
will be allowed to depart who cannot
say that his stay has been most pleas
ant and profitable.
1T is the intention of your state Off
GERS to make this the banner state
camp meeting, and in order to do this
we earnestly hope that the Woodmen
and their wives, sweethearts and
friends living on this side of the Big
Muddy will turn out and show our
Black Hills neighbors that we appre-
ciate the invitation to meet with them,
and to do this we want enough to go
City to Lead. In fact let us have a
'Woodmen special train, and by so do
