and the military establishment, includ-

All the oficials are the personal ap-

the chief object of each administra-

the largest possible amount before n

cumstances politics has become the
chief business Of the republic, and 9TH

the Dominicans are ardent admirers
Of the greater republic.
The island on which the republic of
Santo Domingo is established is, next
to Cuba, the largest of the West In
dies. One-third of its area Is devoted
Inainder constitutes SantO Domingo.
These contiguous republics are often
confused, but they are quite dissim-
liar in most features. The DOminicans
are much more refined and circum-
spect in their ways than their neigh
bors and are less addicted to actual
bloOdshed in their periodical revOlu-
tons. They are for the most part
mulattoes of Spanish and negro origin.
The few Spanish families that have
not intermingled with the prevailing
type constitute the aristocracy Of the
republic and hold themselves loftlly
aloof from their less fortunate neigh
bors.
Education in its proper sense Is
practically unknown. The average
Dominican has not yet awakened to
the necessity of adding to the knowl-
edge with which nature has endowed
him. The mulatto population, number
ing at least half a million, is not in.
clined to be quarrelsome, but trouble
is fomented by political trlcksters who
are trying constantly to obtain an op-
portunity to loot the pubHc treasury.
The people are for the most part in
dustrious and patient, submitting to
continual misgovernment and official
peculat1on with remarkable good ma
ture.
The president Of the republic is
practically a dictator. AS often as
suits his convenience he submits to an
election, and he is careful to have ID

system Of government is copied after

CHAPTER IV.

They had reached the summit of the
highest of the sand mounds that lie as if
in little eddies of that mighty stream
that once swept from the great lakes
down the valley of the Wabash toward
the ocean.
"Was there ever anything so lovely?
Look at that faint golden green of the
fringing willows of this bright. bright
river! And the darker green deepening
into blue and purple of the patches of
woodland on the other side. And then
beyond that, the upward sweep of the
strange, fair, lonely, lonely, solemn prai
rie. ! could never be unhappy nor great
ly discontented in the presence of scene
like this"
Lizzy had involuntarily turned away
from him, holding her hand outstretched,
in a sort of girlish ecstasy of admiration
toward the wide river bottom and the
boundless prairie beyond.
They stood in silence for almost a min
ute, their eyes resting upon bright
reach of limpd, sparkling river cut off by
mass of the distant blue green wood
land, now upon a dim and misty light
blue vista of valley that from the dark
and defined border of diminishing line of
woodland drawn up in martial array to
witness the passage of the unceasing
food of waters, led on and on into the
underlined dominions of northern sky,
islanded with banks of unmoving clouds
of creamy white.
"You are a poet, Miss Lizzy. And
am not" said the assistant geologist,
presently. 81 think this fact fully ex
plains the great difference between us.
You can never weary of the beautiful
things of wood and field and flood. |, on
the other hand, must have the beautiful
and the good in some human creature"
He spoke this last sentence almost in
an inaudible murmur, and now with his
head turned away and the cane making
broadsword sweeps among the ranks of
hostile jimsons.

OLD WOOD FOR v,oLlNs.
Manufacturers Buy Wreckaee From
the Lippincott Mansion.

The old wood in the Lippincott man.
sion has been secured by musical in
strument makers, who claim that they
have found a treasure in that the
wood is not only seasoned, but is of a
kind that it is almost impossible to
get nowadays. One of the foremost
violin makers of this country made
the discovery that the joists in the
yellow mansion We're of quality of
spruce wood, now extinct. that is of
rare quality for the rim and back of
violins. He got monopoly on the
old wood, and while the wreckers
We're tearing down the house he EN-
ployed detectives to watch his prize.
Other violin makers soon learned of
the fine quality of the wood, and they
endeavored to get some of it, only to
learn that their alert competitor had
purchased it all. The violin makers
say that the joists are unusually thick
and that the spruce is of the finest
quality that has been found in this
country. They claim that nothing to
equal it for violin making has been
found in America, and that with prop
err skill some high-priced Instruments
will be made of it.--Philadelphia Rec

LOOKING AFTER INDIAN MONEY!.
Can Money Belonging to Indians Be
Levied to Satisfy Claims.

Sau M0uSy 0StouSI'S 10 lu0iduS DC
Levied to Satisfy Claims.
The United States authorities of
South Dakota are preparing to wage
an energetic fight in an important test
case involving the legal status OF
funds arising from the sale of inherit
ed Indian lands, which is now pend
ing in the state circuit court of Rob-
erts county, and which will be tried
during next month.
The test case was instituted by
Sheriff Minder, of Roberts county, the
First National bank of Sisseton being
the defendant. The creditors of Sis
seton Sioux Indian, learning that the
Indian had deposited in the bank funds
derived from the sale of inherited
land of which he was one of the heirs,
levied on sufficient amount of the
money to liquidate their claims. The
bank refused to recognize the levy in
the absence of a decision of the courts
defining the status of such funds.
The federal authorities will defend
the bank fhen the case comes up for
trial. on the ground that money de-
rived by Indian heirs from the sale of
inherited land is trust funds, and not
subject to levy by county or state
authorities.
The parties who are seeking to Sc
cure possession of a part of the money
n ,, Iol,t
ed to them will maintain that such
funds must be treated the same as
funds belonging to white men, and can
be levied upon the same as in the case
of white man.
The Indians of the Northwest have
many thousands of dollars from the
sale of inherited land land because of
this and the fact that many of them
owe considerable sums, the outcome OF
the case pending in Roberts county is
awaited with great interest.
The federal statutes provide that
when inherited land is sold the pro-
ceeds shall be placed in bank to the
credit of each heir in proportion to
the amount each is entitled to. The
heirs are permitted to draw from their
account not to exceed the sum of $40
per month, subject to the approval of
the Indian agent or other official in
charge of them.
When the approval of the agent or
other proper official is obtained, the
heirs can check out the money in the
sum stated In the case of minor heirs,
the checks must be made out by their
recognized and legal guardians.

men blew hole through the brick
wall of the vault in the Security State
Bank of Yankton and made an unsuc-

Two explosions awakened probably a
score of people, but none of them went
to the scene of the robbery, and the
burglars escaped after securing a
small amount of loose change that had
been locked up in the vault but left
outside the safe. No trace of the rob-
bers has been secured. 1t is believed
there were four of them, as this num-

WILL CONDUCT EXPERIMENTS.
Government to Spend Millions on a
Large Farm Near Belle Fourche.

Government to Spend Millions on a
Large Farm Near Belle Fourche.
Preparations are being made for
the establishment of a government eX-
detrimental farm in the area to be irri-
gated in the Belle Fourche district, in
which undertaking the United States
government will eXpend several mil
lions of dollars, the money for the
purpose having been appropriated by
congress.
Engineer Walter, who has charge of
the irrigation project, was recently Of
ficially advised that the government
had decided to set aside eighty acres
for experimental purposes. The ex-
detrimental farm will be under the di-
rect supervision of the agricultural de-
partment. The experiments will be
conducted by the agricultural depart
ment, and the expense will be paid
from fund other than that providing
for the immense irrigation project
which the government has undertaken
in this district.
1t is believed the results to be &C
complished by the experimental farm
will prove of much benefit to farmers
who will occupy the tracts in the irri-
gated area. Not only is the subject of
irrigation new to practically all of the
new settlers, but to O. very large pro-
portion of other farmers who reside in
this portion of the state.
The work to be done under the SUI
pervision of the agricultural depart
ment will prove all the more valuable
to the farmers of this region because
of the local character of the work The
experiments will be carried on at a
point where the farmers in this entire
region can watch the progress being
made and the methods employed, thus
profiting to the fullest extent.
The best methods Of irrigating the
land, and the best and most profitable
crops to raise and other matters Of
vital Importance to the farmers of this
region in general will be thoroughly
demonstrated on the experimental
farm.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the result of the experiments will
prove invaluable and assist greatly in
the development of the immense area
of agricultural land which composes
what is known as the Belle Fourche
irrigation project of the government.
