ORDERED BY GAR.
Proclamation Issued by Trepoff and
kokosoff

st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.--The follow
ing proclamation. issued by Governor
General Trepoff and Minister of FL
nance Kokosoff will be posted in the
streets today:
'Workmen should assist the govern
ment in its tranquillzing task in be-
half of the betterment of their condi-
tlon. This they can accomplish only
by holding themselves aloof from TO-
mentors of disturbances who are alien
TO the workmen's true interests and
to the country's welfare. Let them re-
turn to their ordinary labor, which is
as needful for the country as for
themselves; for without, they, their
wives and children must suffer dis
tress. returning to work let the peo-
pie be assured that their needs are
near the emperor's heart, as are those
of all his majesty's true subjects"
The proclamation, it is said, was is
sued by the emperor's order, and in
its preamble recounts the recent events
and declares that evil disposed persons
used the workmen as their tools, lead
ing them astray by false and impos-
Slble promises. 1t says:
The result Of this criminal agita-
ton has been breaches of the peace in
VolVing the inevitable intervention Of
armed forces
These evil wishers have not been
restrained even by the difficulties In
which the fatherland is involved, in a
time or trying war, whilst the work
men, their blind tools, have disregard
ed the fact that demands were made
in hteir name which had nothing in
common with their needs"
The proclamation concludes as fol-
lows:
Let it be known to all workmen who
return to their labors that they NAV
count upon the protection of the gov
eminent and freedom from harm for
themselves, their families, hearths and
homes. The government will protect
them from any criminal attack in the
freedom of their labor by evil disposed
persons who, loudly preaching liberty,
understand 1t only as the right to use
forcible means to prevent their com
rades from returning to their peaceful
employment
ITO this end the government re-
quires, above all, the restoration Of
order and the return of workmen to
work, because in times of disturb

A Profitable Creamery.

Clear Lake, S. D., Jan. 2O.-Reports
which are to be made at the annual
meeting of the stockholders Of the
Clear Lake Creamery company, to be
held at this place tomorrow. will show
that during the past eighteen months
the local creamery paid to the farmers
of this vicinity an aggregate of SAL
1851 in exchange for milk. Thus it
can be seen that the creamery plays
prominent part in making the farmers
in this locality prosperous. and also
aids the business men who receive their
proportion of the money thus placed in
circulation. Another beneficial effect
of the creamery is the increase in num-
Der and improvement of the COWS
owned by the farmers. When the
creamery was established in 1902 there
were in this DeueD county, according
ITO the assessors returns, a total of
5.453 cows. This number has now
increased to nearly $500. 1t is said the
quality of the COWS kept for daily pur-
poses has increased at least IS per cent
At present the local creamery is pat
ronized by 200 farmers.

SEED SPECIAL POPULAR.
Farmers Are Anxious for Inform ration
REGARDING Testinq and PLANTING.

Huron, S. d., Jan. 25.--W. H. Smith,
OF this city, travelling auditor for the
van DuSen Elevator company, and
who has been making a tour of the
seed wheat special train of the Chi
cago and Northwestern Railway COM
pany, reports that at every station
where the train stopped large gath
erings of farmers greeted them and
that the interest manifested was be-
yond the expectations of any of the
party with the Special" All were anX-
ious for information and every sugges-
ton relative to procuring seed wheat
FOR the present seasons crop was list
ened to with marked attention De-
ductlons from an interview with Mr.
SmitM are that the best and plumpest
seed should be selected, clean it
thoroughly, treat for smut and SOW
early-plump kernels produce vigorous
plants, while shrunken kernels produce
weak and inferior plants. Early SOW
Ing is the only way to lessen the effects
of an attack of rust, as the plants will
be far advanced when the rust spores
first appear; rust spores attack the
leaves and green stalk of the plant,
development and finally resulting IN a
shrunken and almost worthless berry.
What is termed BLACK rust" is an adj
vanced stage of red rust. unlike smut,
rust is not transmitted in the seed.
Seed from fields infected with rust is
not affected, and If the grain is plump
and sound, the seed is good. Climatic
conditions are responsible for rust, and
an epidemic like that of last year may
not again occur for many years; yet it
may come at any time

Washington. D. c., Jan. 2S-A soil
survey of Sarpy county is under con-
sideration by the department of agri-
culture. Senator Willard for several
months past has been urging upon
Secretary Wilson the Importance of
making a survey of the soil of this
county and has finally convinced Mr..
Wilson that such survey is essential,
In a letter Secretary Wilson states that
the survey will be put in with the
spring assignments if it is possible
to do so. He states, however, that the
appropriations are limited and, as
there are many applicants for similar
may be that the survey will not be
reached this year. but the chances,
however are in its favor
John S. Lee of Bethany, Neb., who
was recommended to the Indian office
for additional farmer at Rosebud agen-
cy by Senator Willard, has chosen to
accept a similar position at Devils

Relatives from Pierre Looking for Miss

Relatives from Pierre Looking for Miss
... Ruth Collins.
Omaha, Neb, Jan. 2O.-Rev. Samuel
Heghin of the vicinity of Pierre, S. D., is
in the city in conference with the post
office and police authorities to ascertain
If possible the whereabouts of his sister-in-
law, Miss Ruth Collins, who has been
missing from her home and friends since
December 7. 1904. When last heard from,
some two or more weeks ago she was in
Omaha. AT least a letter had been re-
ceved from her from here bearing the
Omaha postmark. Since that time, how
ever, all record of her has been lost.
Miss Collins is rcputed to be a very
comely young woman, and her people are
in comfortable circumstances, living in a
small town near Pierre. She had been
graduated from the district schools in the
vicinity of her home and desiring to con.
tnue her education went to Yank ton S
d., in December last to attend school
there. From some cause not yet asccr-
tanned she left Yankton about December
7, and wrote that she had gone to Omaha
with view to getting employment here.
letter was received from her few
weeks later bearing the Omaha postmafk.
indicating that she had arrived in Omaha.
Letters were written to her in answer. but
no reply has been received from her.
Since Rev. Heghin's arrival in the city
he has made inquiries at the poStoftice and
he has found a number of letters here to
her address, but which have not been
called for. Among them are letters con.
tanning funds sent her by her parents
Miss Collins parents are nearly frantic
over her mysterious disappearance, and
can assign no cause for her strange ac
tions.

SUSTAlNS C'TY'S CLAIMS
A Decision in Noted Lincoln County
Fair Grounds Case.

A Decision in Noted Lincoln County
Fair Grounds Case.
Canton, S. D.. Jan. 23.-Judge ]. w.
Jones, of the Second judicial circuit of
this state, has just handed down his de-
cision in the noted Lincoln county fair
grounds case, which has attracted so
much attention during the past few
months in this part of the state. The
case involves the right of the Lincoln
County Agricultural society to sell it's
grounds in this city and divide the
money among the shareholders. The
property was originally donated to the
society by E. Wendt and o. A. Rudolph
for the use of fair grounds and for
public amusements only. 1t has now
become very valuable and could be
sold for about $4,000. The agricultural
society last spring brought suit against
the donors of the property to compel
them to execute a deed conveying the
title to the property in fee simple to the
society. The city of Canton then en-.
tered a defense on behalf of the pub
lie seeking to protect the public right
to the use thereof for amusements and
exhibition purposes. The court decides
in favor of the city, which prohibits
the agricultural society from disposing
of the property for any other purposes
than those designated by the terms of
the conveyance given them by the orig
inal donors. The case will probably be
carried to the supreme court for a
final decision. There are other cases
similar to this in different parts of the
state and the outcome of the Lincoln
county case is therefore watched with
