NO FREE HOMES
on The ROSEBUD
Congressman Burke Expresses
Opinion That Settlers
Will Have to Pay.
MANY MEETINGS HELD
Settlers Asked Congress. to Enact leg.
siation That They Need Not Pay
Price Required for ceded
Indian Lands.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 29.-The set
alers on the ceded portion of the Rose
bud reservation have called a series of
meetings at various points for the pur-
pose OF organizing. clubs whose object
1T Will be to endeavor to secure support
among 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 S, 10 a. M. !;
Herrick. Friday. July z, 2:30: Burke.
Saturday. July 8, 2:30; Yerley's (Sully
Elats9. Monday. July 10, 2:so; Wade.
Tuesday. July II, $3.50; Dallas.
Wednesday. July IL. 2:30; Eden.
Thursday, July 1s. $3.50; Dixon, Fri
day. July IA. 2:30; Carlock, Saturday,
July Is. 80.
The homsteaders in all parts of the
'ceded lands are urged to be present at
the meetings at the place nearest their
homes. the idea being to have the gath
+ertngs as largely attended and as en-
thusiastic as possible for the good ef-
feet 1T will have in showing the senti-
1aent among the settlers and In secur-
ing the support of congressman and
senators.
Congressman Burke of South Dako-
ta, who was one of the most persist
-ent members of congress in the work
sof having the surplus lands of the
ment. expresses the opinion that it will
be impossible to induce congress to
enact legislation relieving the settlers
on the ceded lands from having to pay
the price which they are required to
pay under existing law.
FIe calls attention to the last section
of the act opening the lands to set
tlenlent. which is as follows:
THAT rothing in this act contained
shall in any manner bind the United
States to purchase any portion of the
land herein described, except sections
is and SO or the equivalent in each
township. or to dispose of said land
except as provided herein; or to guar
santee TO find purchasers for said lands.
orfany portion thereof, it being the in
tention of this act that the United
States shall act as trustee for said In
dians to dispose of said lands and to
expend and pay over the proceeds re-
received, as herein provided"
There probably is not a single South
Dakotan who is not in favor of the free
homes idea in connection with the
opening to settlement of any body Of
public land. but, in view of the sec
ton of the law quoted, the fight for
the extension 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 the
Indians the purchase price of the land
out Of the United States treasury. That
any such proposition would be over
whelmingly defeated cannot be doubt
ed.

SEVERAL OLD MEN
 BACK AT AUBURN
FOOTBALL SQUAD, HOWEVER, WILL BE LIGHT AND MEN OVER 16o POUNDS ARE coNsPIcUoUs BY THEIR ABSENCE.

Auburn, September 23.-(Specia1.)-T enrolment at the Alabama Polytechnic in- stitute continues to increase. the num- Der now being 5S2. After a few days devoted to the classification of new stu dents, the classes settled down to regu- lar work which has now been in progress two weeks. The prospects were never brighter for successful year than they seem to be for 1s05-6, although every de- partment of the college is crowded to its utmost capacity.
 However in the way of athletics, the football prospects at Auburn for the sea- son of 1905 are at present~n at all promising. There are about sixty or sev- enty candidates on the field every after noon, but men of 160 pounds or over are noticeable by their absence. There are several promising youngsters who wli not be available this year because of their light weight. None of the heavy men of last years team have returned so that Auburn will have hard work to maintain the position which she attained last year.
 The old men who are back include Lacey, captain and full back; Foy, left half; Perkins, quarter; Wilkinson, right end; Hughes, right taAkle; Strelt. left tackle; Patterson, left end. The other promising men are Holley, center; Booth and Pickett, guards; Whitner, Penton, and Thagard. tackles; Harris and Neill. ends: Gibson and Ware, quarter backs; Woodruff, Craker, Moon and Lacey, half backs. Watkins of last years Clemson team Is doing good work on the scrubs. 1 The following students have recently been elected to the board of editors l of the Orange and Blue: J. V. Denson. editor in chief; o. D. Alsobrook, asso- ciate editor in chief; DuPont Guerry, 1 business manager; F. H. Mohns, assis- tant business manager; J. A. Miller and L. Hall associate editors; s.

HIGH CLASS PIANOS.
One Concern Sold Nearly $sooo Worth
 Last Week.

It was pointed out yesterday that among the evidences of Birminghams s progress is the fact that a greater num- Der of high grades pianos are being sold here now than formerly. It Is said that no city in this part of the country has such large volume of business in fine pianos as Birmingham.
 Last week the Jesse French company. of which J. H. Holeomb is manager, sold s7S5O worth of Steinway and Knabe pianos for cash. MT. Holcomb said that not only do people of wealth buy high class up- rights and grands, but that several per- sons in moderate circumstances have re- cently purchased the best quality of in- struments, thus giving evidence of ad- yancement in taste. As result of large sales this month the Jesse French com pany has ordered s9ooe0 worth of high class pianos to be shipped here without delay
 Rienzi Thomas, the organ virtuoso, is now connected with the Jesse French company.

HORSE NOT DEAD.
DrymonopoIe Had Been Entered In
 Races Under Another Name.

Pittsburg, September 2S.-Drymonopole. the s500O pacer owned by the estate of George S. Fleming of this city, and which 1t was alleged started in races at Balti- more and other places under the name of Tasberg, was brought back to Pittsburg today by Attorney William J. Bremen. Drymonopole was reported as having died at Somerville, Pa., last December. Upon learning the horse was at the Baltimore track to race under the name of Tas- Der, MT. Bremen started Chief of Detec- tives Thomas McQuaide of Pittsburg on the case, and 1t was found that a horse had been shipped from Somerville to Coatsville. The suits In the case have been dropped by Bremen.

felt that 1t should bring more and in- formed their tenants that if they could not get 10 cents for 1t, take to the ware house, and they the landlords, would allow them credit for that price.
 The result was that 10 cents was paid by brokers immediately afterwards for cotton on the streets of Montgomery On Saturday the price dropped again to 9Hs cents, and prominent Montgomery farm CTS and members of the Southern Cotton association circulated amongst the own CTS of the cotton as they came in, ad vising them not to sell for less than 10 cents. The result was that all held, and at one time there was more cotton on Court square than ever seen before. After holding out for 10 cents for some time and failing to get it, several wagons started for the warehouse to store their cotton, but they were halted by brokers and given 10 cents for their cotton In q short time the square was clear, every I ind of cotton on 1t having sold for 10 cents.
 All Can Do 1t.
 What was done in Montgomery can be done in many other places to advantage, and members of the association and all others interested are urged to encourage the holding of cotton for better prices. It is suggested. where practicable. that country presidents of the association will call meetings and take some action with regard to the holding of cotton for the minimum price as set at Ashevile. Such meetings have already been held in a number of counties and have been pro ductive of much good. With the help of the merchants and the bankers who have contributed largely to the success that has been achieved by the association, and who every day are showing greater interest and confidence in It's work the situation can be controlled to the best interests of the entire state. Other or- ganizations, tho Farmers union and the Society of Equity, both of which are very strong, have joined hands with the asso- citation and the victory ought to be made complete w. H.
