Marriage Of SWcdes In North.
west to be REGULATED

Washington, ID. c.. Feb 27.-A
movement is expected at an early
date to have the Swedish consul at
st. Paul or Minneapolis given author
ity to issue certificates showing that
Swedes marrying in the United States
have complied with the requirements
of the law of their native land This
is owing to the fact that the Swedish
government has passed law that
marriages Of Swedish subjects con-
tracted in the United States will not
be recognized unless approved by the
Swedish minister at Washington or
consul at New York. MANY SwedeS
in the north west return to Sweden
after American marriages. and they
naturally want their marriages to be
legal.

The patent Office is one of the
few bureaus of the government
that pays it's way and adds to
the government revenue. Since
1887 it has been turning into the
treasury of the United States
large sums of money, the amount
this year approximating $40, 600.
This, it will be understood, is a
surplus after all the expenses of
the department are paid. 1t is
stated in the patent office that
the year 1904 will exceed all
others in the number of patents
issued.

Ashton Chronicle:

Ashton Chronicle: The Sphinx
county poor farm can boast of having
an unusual occupant. He is young
man, strong and healthy, but who pre-.
fers to spend his life there, certain OF
home, than to be going from one jot
to another. He entered the institution
last July and intends to pass the re-
mainder of his life there. He is a
great help on the place as he does all
the work required of him without a
kick. When asked why he stayed
there instead of getting out and earn
ing some wages he simply said that he
had no one to work for and preferred
to have a place that he could consider
his home. Which goes to show that
it takes all sorts of people to make up
the world.

RURAL ROUTES
Will be Extended in Near
Future If Good Roads
are PrOYld ed

In a number of the counties of
the southern part of the state
the rural mail delivery system
has been extended so that these
counties are completely covered
by the extension of the routes.
In response to a letter sent to
Senator Kittredge asking as to
the probability of getting the
county system adopted in Grant
county, the senator writes as
follows:
Washington, d. c., Feb. 2, 1905.
William w. Downie, Milbank, S. d.
Your favor of the Both. is receivad
and | note your suggestion regarding
the extension OF the county rural free
delivery service to your county. It
is my purpose to ask the department
to extend this service from Brookings
county north as soon as the service
in the counties mentioned in the news
paper is established. and hope that
we will be able to reach it some time
next fall. You may be sure I have
Grant county in mind and will see
that you get it at the earliest possible
date. Truly yours.
A. B. KITTREDGE.
By d not very large addition to
the routes already in operation,
the whole eastern half of the
county could be easily covered
by the rural mail service, and
Senator Kittredge and our dele
cation in congress can be de-
pended upon to urge the matter
at the proper time and secure
this convenience to the farming
com immunity of the county. One
important matter, however
should be attended to by the
farmers themselves, and that is
that they go to work system
atically to improve the roads.
When the matter Of establishing
routes is being accomplished the
conditioo of the roads is an i'm
portant factor in the location of
the same, and the government
inspectors who have charge of
the matter Of laying out routes,
insist on having the road in good
coalition. With this in view
the time to take the matter up is
at the annual meeting, when the
township officers should be in
structed to get the roads in the
very best possible condition, so
that when government inspec-
tor goes over them he may see
that the people are appreciative
Of daily mail service, and are
willing to do their part to secure
the benefits of the system. Low
places in the road should be
graded up, and in the summer
the weeds and willows should be
moved from the sides of the
road to prevent an accum ulatiOn
Of snow in winter. Systematic
and intelligent labor bestowed
on a comparatively small area of
the roads will make them in ex-
cellent condition for travelling at
almost any time of the year.

One Of the prisoners at the
county Jail, Joe Grant, who was
being held on a charge of assault
ndrobbery, brokejail last Thurs
day evening, about 6 O'Clock.
Sheriff Murray was out of the
city at the time, and Deputy
Sheriff Cross had left the Jail but
a short time, having gone to his
supper, when the fellow made
his way through "a hole he had
battered in the brick wall on the
west end of the Jail, using an
iron bar which he had managed
to pry loose, as battering ram
The fellow had chosen a favora-
BILE time for making his escape.
as it was commencing to get
dusk. However he was seen by
Victor Erlandson as he came
through the wall, but before the
boy could get the alarm to the
deputy sheriff, the fellow had
disappeared. Search was at once
instituted, but in the growing
darkness no trace of him could
be found. At the time he got
away there was one other
prisoner, Ed Conn, in the Jail, but
the latter refused to accompany
Grant in his break for liberty.
Grant is undoubtedly a profes.
sional criminal, and the case
against him was such that when
it should come to trial he would
without question have been sent
up for long term in the penl-
tentiarY, as his crime nearly re-
suited IN murder.
