Senator Frieberg took advantage oil
the short recess and came home from
Pierre last Thursday. He has COM
menced q fight between the eastern
and western counties by introducing a
motion to repeal the wolf-bounty law.
This action is a timely one, as there is
little doubt but that the present bounty
law Is an injustice upon the state
as whole, In view Of the fact that four
counties at present draw over one-half
of the total appropriation for the wolf
bounty. The remedy for this unjust
law being to reserve TO ths counties
the privilege OF offerin G a bounty or
not just as the local situation may de-
mand. Mr.. Frieberg has brought the
forces of the opposing sides together
and they have asked for an appropria-
tion Of $4,000, or double the sum asked
last year, and an increase Of wolf
bounty to five dollars. Before the con !
test closes some interesting legislation
will be gone over - Beresford Nea0s. !.

WALLAcEs' FARMER ON THE GRASS FOR
MISSOURI RIVER BOTTOMS.

"A LeMars, Iowa, correspondent
suggests that 1t is time for farmers to
make up their minds as to what grass
seeds they are to SOW. and buy them
and test them before the time for sow
ing. He wishes TO seed down piece
OF land In South Dakota, ten miles east
of Yankton on the Missouri bottom and
believes his tenants have too much
land to cultivate. He wants to get
part Of 1t down TO hay and pasture. and
wants to know what we think of John
son grass for that locality.
He need not give johnson grass
any attention whatever. It would prob
ably grow in that locality and would
give him as much trouble TO get rid OFT
as quack grass when he wishes to break
the land. In fact, Johnson grass is to
the farmer in the south as quack grass
is to the farmer OF Iowa and Minnesota.
On that Missouri bottom where 1t Is
naturally well drained he can grow any
thing he wants to-clover, timothy and
alfalfa. We have seen some splendid
alfalfa grown on the Missouri bottom
as far south as Missouri Valley, and
we hear of fine alfalfa being grown in
the neighborhood Of Yankton. II he
wishes itfor pasture, then we would
SOW clover and timothy. II he wishes
it for hay, we would make a test OF a
few acres of alfalfa this year on the
methods heretofore suggested In the
WaIldces' Farmer, and thus feel our
way.
One of our correspondents living at
Mondamin, in this same valley, had
fine success by seeding alfalfa with
spring wheat just as we recommended
pasturing down succotash. On the
first experiment, however, we would
prepare the ground thoroughly, SOW
ing about the first of May, keeping the
weeds clipped down about three times
during the summer. 1.-The does this he
should have good alfalfa field the
next year. There are number OF
sand ridges in this valley, and land
that is quite sandy will grow alfalfa If
you can get q stand the first year.
The roots will then 60 down to the
permanent moisture which uuderlies
the valley, and the trouble Of getting
good stand the first year should be
about the only difficulty 10 the way Of
alfalfa growers. - Wdlldces Farmer.

WORD comes from Canton that Bro.
N. G. Nash, the veteraneditor and pub
Usher of the Neses is constantly failing
and that little hope is now entertained
of his recovery. Frank Nash, his
Youngest son. who has been associated
with him on the Nesos the past two
years, Is also worn out and reported to
have typhoid fever. The sympathy not
alone OF the newspaper men but also Of
a very wide circle OF acquaintance
throughout the state goes out to this
afiicted family at this time. Mr.. Nash
with his rugged Puritan honesty and
uncompromising vigor has been a pow
er in stale newspaper circles for almost
q third OF century. We earnestly
hope that he may yet be spared for
many years OF substantial usefulness.

tive work OF at least nine months la the
year and having at least three teach
ers, are entitled 10 500 OF state aid
For each year Of work and each teach
or additional, an extra 500 of state aid
is to be added, up TO the full four years
high school course. 1t is made the
duty OF the state superintendent to Wis
itsuch schools as receive state aid al
least once year, to see that the con-
ditions of the proposed law are fully
complied with. Such schools will be
free TO all pupils resident in South
Dakota who have satisfactorily com-
pleted the eighth grade.
The bill Is understood to have the
endorsement Of State Supt. Nash and
seems to have many desirable features.
It gives pupils Of all country districts
the same high school privileges as rcs-
idents of the towns, with no additional
expense for tuition. It will prove ii
stimulus to the high schools OF the state
to have as long and as complete acourse
as possible. It distributes the expense,
as well as the privileges, Of high school
education more equitably througbout
the state. No provision is made in the
bill for an appropriation to meet the
payments required, although there Is .
wise provision that there never shall be
q deficiency to be carried over into the
subsequent year. The bill should be
amended SO as to make the appropria-
tion to meet the expense OF Its provi-
sions more definite and adequate and In
this form should pass the legislature BY
a large vote.

THE Hepburn bill, introduced last
Saturday BY Iowa's sturdy chairman OF
the interstate commerce committee oi
the house, is drawing out a great deal OF
criticism. It ID satisfactory to neither
the carriers nor the shippers, with the
odds In favor OF the former largely. Mr..
Hepburn has had wide and careful con-
ference with representatives Of both in
terests and seems TO have made an hon
est effort to draft u bill that, while not
pleasing to extremists, would be fair
and reasonable for all. The bill may
pass the house, but there is little PROB
ability Of the senate passing this or any
other vital rate legislation at this ses-
sion OF congress.

tablish state dipping tanks at ''the

HOW LOST BROTHERS MET.
Striking Case OF Reconnstsom I'm am
Oklahoma city.


striking Case OF Recognition In an
Oklahoma CITY.
Two men, each seeing Ia the other
something that suggested former ac-
quaintance, recently stopped In the
street near the First National bank
building In Cleveland. Okla. and one
said:
1T seems to me that ought to know
you.'
That's just what ! was thinking
about YOU" replied the other IN broken
English.
MY name 10 simmons. z said the iirst
speaker.
And so Az mine, was the reply.
The two men made the surprising
discovery that they were brothers who
had never seen each other. says a
Cleveland (Okla.) correspondent OF the
Kansas City Star. They were Paul
Simmons and Otto simmons, sons Of
I. II. Simmons OF Stroud, Okla.
Twenty-nine years ago the Simmons
family was living at the foot OF Jim
Ned mountain in Jack county. Tex.
Mr.. Simmons was In charge Of "A large
ranch and spent most OF his time on
the herd line. One day crowd OF
Mexican desperadoes known as tho
Eagle Chiefs came to the ranch in Mr..
Simmons absence. Mars Simmons was
at the spring getting a pail of water.
and there was nobody In sight except
Paul, boy Of seven. The desperadoes
took the boy and got away before they
were discovered. They carried the boy
with them to Mexico and there placed
him In care OF an old man who reared
him. The boy was trained to k2xican
customs and when old enough to work
was used as q servant. Paul lived
there till about four years ago when
the old man died. The latter told Sim
mons his life story, but could give no
trace Of his family.
The Simmons family moved from
Texas to Stroud several years ago.
Three sons were born after the disap-
pearance Of Paul One OF them, Otto
Simmons, became acquainted at Shaw
nee with a Mexican known as Mexican
Pete, to whom tine story of Paul's dis
appearance was told. Mexican Pete
returned TO Mexico and by accident
met Paul simmons, to whom be relat-
ed the story he had heard ait Shawnee.
Paul rode on horseback to Stroud and
found his parents Otto had left home
and come To Cleveland, where oil was
discovered. and knew nothing of his
brothers return. Paul went to Cieve-
land few days ago, not knowing that
Otto was at Cleveland, and only a
strong family resemblance caused them
to STOP AMI si:cak to one another
