REPORT Of THE SOLDIERS HOME
Board of Commissioners Investigate All Complaints
and Make a Signed Report-f1ome
Is in Fine Condition.:

They respect constituted authority,
and generally have no occasion for
grievance. Only a small percentage
Of the members ever become disor-
derby and create confusion, and they
represent mainly those who are SUD
jects of long-continued habits OF In
temperance.
Col. IT. H. Goddard, the command
ant has proved his great interest IN
the welfare of the home and its mem
bers. He is strict in discipline, n
sometimes it has been considered Sc
we're, but it Is intended for the good
of the offenders and to protect the
rights and insure the comfort OF the
larger body of members who are al
WAYS orderly. We are convinced that
if there have been occasional in
stances of seeming strictness in en-
forcing the rules and regulations OF
the home, they have not been SO IN
tended. but the object has been to pro-
mote the highest good and the COM
fort of all the members, and not SIM
ply the punishment of an offender. We
believe hat it will best promote the
interests of the soldiers home II he
shall continue to serve as its com
mandant.
"The members Of the board desire
to express their hearty appreciation OF
the generally improved appearance OF
the home, the careful regard for it's
cleanliness. and the efforts made to
make it attractive and comfortable.
"The board cannot too highly COM
mend the very efficient service OF the
matron, Mrs. Goddard. She is an ideal
woman for the position that she SO
successfully and satisfactorily occu-
pies. She is held in the highest es-
TEEN by all the members of the home,
who respect her for what she is and
appreciate her for what she does.
"The hospital was never in so good
a condition or SO successfully man
aged as it has been under the care OF
Surgeon w. S. Bentley. It's improved
condition and wise practical manage
ment are heartily commended.
Mai. l.. D. Smith has served most
satisfactorily for several years as ad-
jutant of the home. 1t would be very
difficult if not impossible to find an
other one who would be SO capable
and efficient.
Maj. w. H. Reed is rendering very
satisfactory service as quartermaster.
In the work Of providing supplies for
the home he is always considering it's
needs ard the interests Of the state.

The board Of commissioners of the
soldiers home has devoted four days
to a thorough investigation of various
matters relating to the home and it's
management. Due notice OF the in
vestigation was given to the members
Of the home and to the public,
through the newspapers and other
wise, and all persons having any real
or supposed grievance or grounds of
complaint against the management OF
the home were asked to appear before
the board and state their complaints,
and bring as many witnesses as they
desired, whether many or few.
Some complaints were made by the
citizens of Hot Springs and one or two
officials Of Fall River county. A ste
nographer was employed and all com
plants and witnesses made their com
plants and gave their evidence under
oath. AS it will be two or three
weeks before the ~stenographer will be

which will be held during the latter
part OF April.
Two Or three letters containing
criticisms and complaints, sent to the
governor, were by him forwarded to
the board. These matters having
been fully considered, a report has
been prepared and sent to Gov. Elrod.
Many complaints made were trivial
and unimportant, and were not sup
ported by evidence. yet everything pre-
sented received careful consideration.
Members of the house who appeared
before the board were assured that
the filing Of complaint or the giving
Of testimony should not result in any
prejudice against them on the part Of
the commandant or the members of
the board. or their comrades in the
home. The investigation was public
and open to all who desired to come.

following report concerning the nan

ENCOURAGING CATTLE REpoRro.
stockmen Report That the Winter
Loss In Less Than 1 Per Cent,

stockmen Report That tho Winter
Loss 10 Less Than I Per Cent.
Very encouraging reports are re-
ceived as to the condition of cattle on
the great ranges Of Western South
Dakota, and il the beef trust investiga-
ton which is in progress in Chi
cago results in prices of live cattle
getting back to where they formerly
were. a very successful and profitable
season is anticipated by the stockmen.
Although 1t is the practice OF the
cattlemen on the great ranges to turn
their animals loose in the fall to shift
for themselves over a vast country
embracing many millions OF acres, the
losses from the winter storms are re-
ported to be unusually small. Cattle
men in the Leslie region report the
winter loss in that section as less
than l per cent. Cattle, too, are in
the best of condition, unlike last
spring, when they were barely able to
move around after the snow had dis
appeared.
Reports from the Moreau river re-
gion are to the effect that cattle have
wintered we'll and that the winter
losses are not worth considering. In
the neighborhood Of Stearns, on White
river, the loss will not be l per cent.
The cattle had an abundance OF feed
on the prairie all winter and start the
spring in good flesh.
The only u%nfavorable report comes
from lower White river, In the eastern
portion of the great cattle range,
where animals were started into the
winter in poor flesh and in a region
where feed was short, but there the
losses are not great.
Meetings have been called by the
three principal stock associations OF
the state to arrange for the annual
spring round-ups, which are expected
to be much more thorough this spring
than ever before. Practically every
animal on the range will be roundeo
up. chiefly because the cattlemen
are DESTROYS Of complying with the
dipping regulations of the Unlted

MURDER OR SUICIDE?
Unknown Man Goes From St. Paul
Bridge Into the River.

st. Paul, April 2. An unknown
man went v the Wabasha street
bridge into the Mississippi about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and was
drowned. Two women say that he was
thrown over the railing by a compan-
ion, who hurried away. Other wit
nesses say the man jumped over the
railing into the river. Others that
were on the bridge did not see what
was happening until the man struck
the water. How he went over they
did not see The police are convinced
that the man jumped into the river.
The man began to cry for help as soon
as he struck the water and for a time
swan down stream. Just before he
reached the pier Of the Chicago Great
Western drawbridge he sank. A hat.
found on the bridge, is the only means
OF Identification the police have. No
trace of the mar was found, and 1t Is
believed that the body was carried
down the river.
