First TMister of the Year.

According to the Lead Call, one of the
severest storms in several years visited
the country lying east Of Sturgis and
north of Piedmont and Tilford on the
afternoon of June 2. A cyclone cloud
formed in the vicinity of Fort Meade
about 4 o'clock tearing up the ground
and doing considerable damage to farm
buildings, and, in fact, anything that it
came in contact with. From Fort Meade
the cyclone travelled in northeasterly
direction, making circle, first bringing
it few miles north Of Tilford The
people of that town could see the storm
plainly and the noise from it was plainly
audible. Large quantities Of dust were
raised by the wind and debris could be
seen flying in all directions. 1t was re-
ported that several cows were killed and
trees torn up by the roots. When the
cloud reached point opposite Tilford it
seemed to stop for few moments and
dig into the ground, but it soon started
out in the northwesterly direction again,
and when it had reached point, which
seemed to be about opposite Piedmont,
it disappeared. 1t was not long after
this until another funnel shaped cloud
appeared towards the east and followed
in the wake of the first, but soon switch
ed and travelled more in an easterly di.
rection. 1t being so far away nothing
could be learned about it,
Both clouds were reported to be very
black in the lower part and of lighter
color in the upper portions. All kinds
Of debris could be seen flying in the air
and the dust raised by both was terrific.
Immediately after the funnel shaped
cloud had passed through the territory
terrific hail storm set in which lasted
but a short time, but did considerable
amount Of damage to crops and cattle
An electric storm also accompanied the
other disturbances.

During the month of May there were
three hundred and fifty original home
stead entries filed at the United States
land office in Chamberlain for lands in
Lyman county along the projected ex-
tension Of the Milwaukee railroad. This
is large increase over the filings on
Lyman county lands during the month
of April, when the rumbe" was two hun
drcd and sixty. The town and county
is full OF land seekers and large quanti-
ties ofdeeded lands are also being bought
up. 1t is not an uncommon thing for
one Of the several real estate firms in
Chamberlain to sell from five to seven
quarter sections Of land in DAY. 1t is
doubtful il there has ever been greater
inpouring of land seekers into any por-
ton Of the northwest than is being wit
messed at Chamberlain at the present
time.

According to reports from Chicago, :

According to reports from Chicago, an
adjustment Of the teamsters strike seems
as remote as it did two months ago.
| Peace negotiations begun last week
which promised to bring about an ami
cable adjustment of the difficulty, have
been abandoned for the present at least
and the strike will be allowed to take
its natural course, according to Presi-
dent Shea of the teamsters' organization.
a natural course means only one of two
things, either spread of the strike or
defeat for the union, as all the business
firms now involved in the trouble abso-
lutely refuse to concede anything further
in the controversy or to bring about q
settlement

1t beats all how fast and how far a
miSstatement will travel when it once
gets its boots on. Two months ago, a
Pierre correspondent declared that the
foreign life insurance companies had
made profit" of over million dollars
on South Dakota business last year. The
item of profit was secured by finding
the difference between premium re-
ceipts and loss payments The Argus
Leader at that time pointed out the alb
surdity of this statement, but We note
that it is still going the rounds Of the
state press-uncontradicted and Hnex-
planned.
All Of the foreign life insurance com.
panies which do business in South Da.
kota do it on mutual plan. This means
that the policy holders are the ones who
get the profits. Out of what policy
holder pays a certain percentage is ia
ken for the expense of doing business.
In this expense is included the payment
of commissions, all salaries, and all ad-
vertising expenses. This amounts to
from l6 to 26 per cent according to the
company. All that remains from the ex-
pense, goes back to the policy holders in
death payments, or in dividends There
is no such thing as profit" to mutual
life insurance company. The newspa-
pers of the state which have published
this Pierre report ought to correct the
erroneous impression which they have
given their readers. A fire insurance
company may be stock concern, and
make profits. No mutual life insurance
company can make profits, and that is all
there is to it.-Argus Leader.

the Homestake company in vein OF
considerable size on one of the lower

of the ore body has not been made

from the lower levels to the surface.
Some remarkable fine specimens of gold
ore have been brought TO the surface by
miners and by the company's Officials.
