Grievances Brought Before Federal
Grand Jury in Chicago.


Chicago, June 26.--The work of the
beef : industry today showed that the
members of the inquisitorial body have
been playing the part of detectives in
finding witnesses who may enlighten
them on certain points concerning the
buying of cattle by the packers.
AS a result of this detective work by
the jurors Frederick Wood of Hamp-
shire, ILL.,; Christopher Barnhardt of
Wilmington, ILL.,, and E. C. Scholes, a
cattle feeder from Burlington, Ill.,, tes-
titled before the jury today and ex-
planned the troubles a cattle shipper
has selling his live stock in the Chi
cago market.
j. d. Ridgeley, general freight agent
of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, was another witness this after
noon. together with two traffic men
whose identity was closely guarded by
the federal officials.
After leaving the jury room Scholes
said:
II told the jurors that the buyers OF
live stock on the Chicago market seem
to have off and on days for bidding.
They generally bid Wednesdays and
Saturdays at the yards, and generally
prices are uniform"
ScholeS minated that on one day
one of the buyers would bid, n If
the shipper was dissatisfied he would
wait until the e day. only to be con-
fronted with a similar bid. and SO on
until he was finally forced to sell his
cattle or have the profits eaten up by
feeding charges at the yards.

HEAVY Rams THIS YEAR.
As Result New Prairie Land Crops
Are Promising.

Mitchell. s.. n. June 26.-Since June
is over three inches of rain has fallen
in this part of South Dakota, II the
outlook for Il bumper crop of all kinds
OF grain, hay and potatoes has not
been SO favorable over the entire state
since 1892. In the counties contiguous
to Mitchell there has been an increased
acreage of all kinds of crops over for
:ner years. II is not estimating it too
high to say that from 60 to 100 acres of
prairie sod has been turnel over this
season on every section of land in DaN-
son and adjoining counties. This new
~ broken land has either been sown to
flax or planted TO corn. and the sea-
son is so very favorable that the yield
necessarily be very large.
The construction of the new line of
railroad from the Missouri river at
Chamberlain has been the impetus hat
has brought thousands of people to
South Dakota the past three months,
and these people, coming as theytdo
from all over the eastern n central
states. will return and tell their friends
how South Dakota has heretofore been
misrepresented. This word, carried
back east by truthful citizens, will
spread over the entire country ms the
immigration that must certainly come
to this state within the mex twelve
moEths will tax the railways to their
fullest capacity TO transport the people
to and from this young commonwealth.
Hundreds are daily arriving in Mitch
ell. many of whom stop off here and
others go west n north to examine
the new territory that is being opened
up west OF the Missouri river in Ly-
man county and on toward the Black
Hills. Among all these homeseekers
very few return without either buying
from individual owners or taking a W.
eminent homestead from I1ncla Sam
west of Oacoma.
Within the past sixty days the pas
senser train capacity has been dou-
bled owe the Iowa and Dakota and
the James river divisions. All rains
are running behind time nowadays and
1t begins to make Milwaukee railway
officials wonder whether or not the sec
ond passenger train will not be neces-
sary between Mitchell and the Missouri
river.

FROM JAPS.
Naval Officers Have First Lesson in
Mystery at Joint Mar Exercises.

"ySACIJ at JUNK war CxSECI6eS.
Washington, d. c., June 22.-President
Roosevelt has been profoundly impressed
by the success Of the japanese in keeping
the outside world in ignorance of their
naval policies and tactics. Talking with
American naval officers he has
ed on the success of the Japanese in this
respect. and word has gone forth that
nothing would please the chief executive
better than for the officers of this navy
to emulate the Japs. Laxity of speech in
discussing the ships, equipments end plans
is to be forbidden.
The first lesson in the art of enshroud-
ing in a cloak of mystery all facts con-
nected with our warships was adminis-
tered to officers in Admira dickens
fleet that attacked the defenscs of Bal
timore and Washington. The strictest
secrecy prevailed. Secretary Morton re-
fused all applications from ~wspap
for permission to station reporters on
the vessels of Admiral Dickens fleet.
The freedom that has always been
permitted in the public inspection of
American warships, navy yards, and
naval stations has lately come to be
q cause of some worry on the part of
conservative officers of the service.
They think it is a big mistake to take
the world into our confidence in regard
to these and other important war mat
tiers. The laps ave opened their eyes
to the advantage of an opposite policy
by the remarkable course which the
little brown men pursued during their
war with Russia. One of the direct
results of the caution of the Japanese
Is the movement to get rid of all Japa-
nese sailors and mess bows now In the
United States navy.

ship.

Sioux Falls, S. d, June 26.-Public at
tention continues to be directed to the
matrimonial difficulties of DR.. Frank A.
Coulter, a prominent physician of Oma-
ha, who some months ago became. d
member of the local divorce colony. :;
The kidnapping by DR.. Coulter of his
two girls was a recent sensational
episode in connection with the case. DR..
Coulter called at the school house ip
Omaha, where h two little girls were
pupils, and represented that he wished
to take them out to lunch.
From what can be learned the kid
mapped children are being kept at Can
ton, twenty miles south of Sioux Falls,
their nearness to Sioux Falls enabling
the father to see them frequently. Since
the kidnapping Mrs. Coulter has re-
ceived a letter from Roberta, the
youngest of the two girls. The letter
was post1narked Sioux Falls, but was
dated at some other place, the name of
which was unintelligibly written.
1t is fully believed here that this con-
firms the opinion that the children are
being secreted at Canton, and that DR..
Coulter, on his return to Sioux Falls
from a visit with them, mailed the let
ter In this city with the object of hood
W1nking Mrs. Coulter and the Omaha
authorities. The Coulter Ease will be
counted one of h most bitterly on
tested in the history of the divorce
courts of this or n other state.
About d year ago DR.. Coulter origi-
nally instituted an action for divorce
IN the court of Judge Day at Omaha.
Mrs. Coulter contested the action and
it was dismissed. DR.. Coulter then came
to Sioux Falls, established a residence
and in due time commenced divorce
proceedings. The case was set for trial
at the last term of court but for some
reason was continued to the next term.
1t Is thought DR.. Coulter, fearing that
the legality of his residence in Sioux
Fails and South Dakota would be ques-
TONED, had the case continued to such
a time as would enable him to cure
such defects as might exist in his legal
citizenship in South Dakota. He now
maintains an Office in this city.

GAME LAW
Fishers in Jim River Surprised at
Warden's Action.

Mitchell, s.. D.. June 26.-The new
game law is causing h farmers of
Dawson and Hanson counties some
trouble. On June Is Game Warden CAL
lard arrested ten men for SEEMING in
the Jim river without having an officer
In charge, as provided by law. and one
of them pleaded guilty and was fined
sac: the other nine We're permitted to
go free. Yesterday Deputy Game War
den Getschel arrested John McGinnis
and N. Bell for fishing with a seine or
net n took them before Justice Nc
Kinley. McGinnis pleaded guilty and
the court fined him $780,. and he will
serve twenty-five days in the county
jail. Bell pleaded o guilty, and the
court, after considering the evidence,
him lose.
Under the new game law the lowest
fine a court can impose is $50, If the
person pleads guilty. While it seems
a hardship to compel every n who
fishes with seine or net to pay a am
warden or sheriff 50 per day, it is be-
lieved to be the only way to preserve
the fish in the South Dakota waters.

But those who know how this reform
started here in the Black Hills are of
the opinion that 1t has come to stay. In
the first place, the Anti-Saloon State
league is backing it to a considerable
extent. Several months ago the presi-
dent of the state league came to h
Black Hills and spoke in every city and
camp against the evil conditions exist
ing. Sentiment began to grow in favor
of the anti-saloon league very rapidly.
The final move came when States At
torney w. H. Parker of this city placed
forty warrants in the hands of the
sheriff and ordered every gambling
place IN Lawrence county to be closed.
The gamblers We're brought before the

closed and most of them have already
been packed and shipped to other fields.
The next move by the states attorney
was to order the saloons in the county
to take down their screens from the
windows and comply with the state
liquor law in every respect. This, too,
has been done. Cigar store proprietors
were also ordered to discontinue their
slot machines.
Just what the immediate effect will be
of all this change remains to be seen.
The majority of business men hale
the change with pleasure. The miners

have the gambling tables to feed with
their money. The business men will

This much all the business men con.
