JIM RIVER IS

This Usually Sluggish Stream

rent.
WATER is VERY HIGH
Nothing Like 1t Has Ever Been Known
Since the Flood Of 1897 When
River Went on Rampage
Little Damage Done.

Huron, 5. d.. June 30.-Water in the
Jim river at his point has been rapid
ly rising. Al some points the water has
passed above the banks n Hooded the
low lands. Notice of the unusual rise
has been sent to points down the river
and stockmen and farmers living on the
bot s have moved to higher ground.
Some fields of grain and corn are UNI
der water. but most of the Inundated
localities is hay land. The water is
now seven feet higher than for -four
years. and coming up at the rate of
about fou inches an hour: the flood,
with a single exception is the greatest
since the spring of 1897. Tn to this
time the damage is not great, but If
rain continues the aggregate loss will
be heavy. In the city the water is dis
appearing, but many streets are yet
flooded. The sewerage system is in
adequate to carry off the immense vol
ume of water, II as a result minia-
ture lakes abound in all parts of the
city and boats are needed to get peO-
pie out of the flooded districts. Mer-
chants and others AVE suffered much
loss because OF damage to goods stored
in cellars n Easements.

Isn't This Absolutely True?

Nothing ever became poprlar-here

Popular men have merit of some
kind, MUST have, or they would not
be popular.
They must have EXCEPTIONAL
MERIT and wonderful character if
their popularity INCREASES WITH
TIME.
AS with men, so WITH GOODS.
So with any article that is on the
market. IL CANNOT INCREASE IT'S
SALES. it cannot be adopted as a
STANDARD article. it cannot survive
generations unless it have real, inner
ent merit.
Millions of dollars spent in advertis-
Ing any article without merit are just
wasted, so far as continued sales are
concerned. Intelligent h~ousekeepers
cannot be compelled to buy what they
do not approve of.
That much is a self-evident fact. 1t
cannot be gainsaid. But it tells its
own story of LION COFFEE and its
Quality-a coffee that has been the
leader of all package coffees for more
than a quarter of Il century. that has
steadily grown in the affections of mill
ions OF American homes since its first
Introduction, long. long ago.
Its %unexcelled flavor, perfect purity
and uniform quality; its absolute clean
illness and neat appearance. have en-
deared it to the hearts of the people.
Good grocers will tell you this, bu

who simply SELL it.

NO FREE HOMES

Congressman Burke Expresses
Opinion That Settlers
Will Have to Pay.

islation That They Need Not Pay
Price Required for Coded
Indian Lands.
VAN MEETINGS HELD

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 29.-The set
tiers on the ceded portion of the Rose
bud reservation have called a series OF
meetings at various points for the puI-
pose of organizing clubs whose object
it will be to endeavor to secure support
amor members of congress from
South Dakota and other states for the
movement in favor of free homes. The
meetings will be held at the following
places:
Gregory, Wednesday, July 5, 10 a. m,
Herrick. Friday. July Z, go; Burke.
Saturday. July S, 2:3O; Yerley's tSully

Wednesday, July ", 2:3o; Eden.
Thursday. July 13, 2:30; Dixon, Fri
day. July IA. 2:30; Carlock, Saturday,
July Is, 2:3O.
The homsteaders in all parts of the
coded lands are urged to be present at
the meetings at the place nearest their
homes, the idea being to have the gath
erings as largely attended and as en-
t%husiastic as possible for the good eff
feet 1t will have in showing the senti-
ment among the settlers and In secur-
ing the support OF congressman and
senator's.
Congressman Burke of South Dako-
ia. who was one of the most persist
ent members of congress in the work
of having the surplus lands of the
Rosebud reservation opened to settle
ment, expresses the opinion that it will
be impossible to induce congress to
enact legislation relieving the settlers
on the coded lands from having to pay
the price which they are required to
pay under existing law.
He calls attention to the last section
of the act opening the lands TO set
tlement. which is as follows:
That rothing In this act contained
shall In any manner bind the United
States to purchase any portion of tie
land herein described. except sections
16 and SO or the equivalent in each
township. or to dispose of said land
except as provided herein.. or to guar-
antee to md purchasers for said lands
or n portion thereof, it being the M
tentioD of this act that the United
dams to dispose of said lands and to
expend and pay over the proceeds re-
ceived from the sale thereof only as
received, as herein provided
There probably is not a single South
,pakotap who is not in favor of the free
, homes idea ~ connection with the
opening to settlement of any body q
public land. but, In view of the sec
ton of the law quoted, the fight for
the extensions of the free homes policy
to the Rosebud lands appears to be
hopeless.
To give the Rosebud settlers the ben.
eft of the free homes idea would make
1t necessary for congress to pay Thu
Indians the purchase price of the lant
out of the United States treasury. Tha.
any such proposition would be over

Good Advice to New Writers.

If you want to learn to write set about
1t in a practical way. Read a great deal
OF the work of the masters Of short-story
writing. l might refer you to Boccaccio
and Chaucer, but to modern men let US
first give modern examples. Read the short
tales of Stevenson, Bret Harte and H.. c.
Bunner. of Thomas Hardy. Mr.. Aldrich
and Mr.. Janvier. Not only read, but study
them. And all the while practice on
stories of you own. What you write one
week tear up the next. 1t is not likely tina :
any masterpieces will be lost. Square your
work with the work of these writers. Fill
yourself so full Of goodw example h d
you will have the short-story feeling"
Thus you Will unconsc.ously become Il
judge of what you do.-Woman's Home

That recent international yacht race
calls to mind that the word yacht
like many other nautical words in the
English language, is of Dutch origin.
This is natural. since the English
learned the art of seamanship from
those old masters of the sea, the Dutch.
Other Dutch words are skipper
SMACK" ''sloop." reef" "boom,'
'%taffrail.' From the Netherlands come
also the words Smuggling" and hoy"
