LAST RITES FOR DEAD EDITOR.
All st. Paul Honors the Memory Of Jo
seph A. WheeIock.

st. Paul, May 15.-Joseph A. Wheel
ock, late editor of the Pioneer Press.
and the most distinguished of North
western journalists, was buried Sat
urday afternoon. Services at which
only the family were present were
first held at Mr.. Wheelock's home, 421
Summit avenue. Afterward, at 2:3O
O'clock public yet .unostentatious and
brief services were held at the House
of Hope Presbyterian church, Of which
Mr. Wheelock had long been a con-
spicuous member. Needless to say,
the church was crowded with some of
those that had long esteemed or loved
man who made no efforts to obtain
popularity. Many of the most influen-
tial residents of this city and state
were there. Flowers in exceptional
abundance appeared on and about the
coffin. These floral emblems conveyed
the sorrow and love of nearly all the
governmental and the important COM
mercial bodies in the city. A beauti-
full tribute to the lamented editor was
the address by DR.. M. D. Edwards,
pastor Of the Dayton Avenue Presby-
terian church, lifelong friend of Mr..

SOUTH DAKOTA TO THE FRONT.
Various eooms for the Sunshine state
at Washington.

at Washington.
Senator Kittredge has introduced In
the senate, and Representative Burke
in the house, two sets of petitions from
the Western South Dakota Stock
Growers association, which recently
held its convention In Rapid City
One of these petitions asks for the
speedy enactment of laws for the
proper classification Of the public lands
west of the Missouri river to meet the
best interests of grazers and actual
settlers thereon The stockmen desire
the segregation Of the grazing lands
from those intended for agricultural
purposes, and also the institution of
comprehensive system for leasing the
former. The other petition seeks to
have tho time limit for keeping live
stock in cars extended from twenty
eight to thirty-six hours. The petit
tions were referred to committees in
both branches.
South Dakota is again to have banner
crops this year. From reports from
all sections of the state he has formed
the opinion that the agricultural out
look is most excellent. In fact, he Is
optimistic for the crops Of the entire
country. During visit to the White
House this week he declared the condl-
tions scarcely could be better. In
many parts of the West, hitherto con-
sidered almost hopelessly dry, he has
| had reports that there is an abundance
of moisture this spring. The weather
| Just at present is the very best kind
| for corn, and the chances are that
there will be a bumper crop. Alto
gether, the country seems launched
! straight toward another year OF
bounty.
Although always pre-eminently
cattle country. South Dakota might
we'll turn its attention to the sheep In
| dustry. The demand for wool is grow
| ing by leaps and Iounds. and the sup
ply Is not sufi1cient to meet the de-
mands Sheep to-day are bringing
more than ever before, while the price
Of wool has reached record mark.
This is due in large measure to the
greatly increased demand for woolen
goods According to the census bu-
reau, there has been decided in
crease in manufactures in spite of the
fact that the number Of establishments
has decreased IA per cent. In 1904 the
total value Of manufactured products
was $3.50, 1874 ,0O3, as against $29699O,-
| 4S4 in 1900, or an increase OF % per
cent. Practically all the raw wool
comes from the West. and as the de-
mand Is insistent the stock raisers OF
South Dakota might turn with profit to
this phase Of their business.
Representative Foss, chairman OF the
house committee on naval affairs, Is
! enthusiastic over the condition Of the
| navy, so far as the men behind the
gunA" are concerned. He is especially
enthusiastic over such young men as
South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado,
Kansas and other Middle Western
states send as recruits. Although
| brought up miles away from the sea.
! these boys make the finest sailors IN
| the navy. "We want more of 'em!"
| is Mr.. Foss' hearty comment

NEW TOWN NAMED FLORENCE.
First New Townsite on the St. Louis
Extension.


Extension.
The first new tOwnsite to be located
on the new extension Of the st. Louis
railroad will be about twenty miles
north OF Watertown and will be named
Florence.
The town is situated in the very
heart OF the richest part OF the whole
country, and it is predicted by the
townsite agent of the company that it
will be a town OF from 1000 to 1000
people In very short time The new
town will probably mean the passing
away of Dexter, one Of the towns for
many years up there, as it is within
four miles OF the new town
The new town is at least twenty
miles away from any Of the larger and
competing towns.
It is twenty miles from Watertown,
twenty from Bradley. twenty-five from
Henry, twentyfour from Waubay and
twenty-eight from Webster Sites
have already been sold for three lum-
ber yards, six elevators and two banks.
The latter named will be begun at
once and will erect large buildings.
One of the banks has already filed
articles of incorporation with the fol.
lowing from Watertown as incorpora-
tors: w. D. Morris, president OF the
Citizens National bank; Lorenzo T.
Morris and H. L. Sheldon, cashier of
the Citizens National
The railroad graders are now work
ing along the line to Florence and 1t
Is expected that the rails will be laid
that far by July Is. 1t Is estimated
also that over 100000 bushels of
grain will be marketed at that place
this coming fall.

DIETz'S ALLY is SENTENCED.
Judge Characterlxes Actions Of Dam
Defender a. Treason.


Hayward, Wis, May 16.-Valentine
Weisenbach, who was convicted a
couple of weeks ago In the circuit
court for Chippewa county of attempt
ed murder, was sentenced by Judge
A. ]. Vinji to twelve years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at Waupun.
Weisenbach was the confederate OF
John Dietz and assisted Dietz when
he made his famous attack upon the
officers who attempted to arrest Dietz.
The case attracted considerable at
tention when tried, as the evidence
connected Dietz with every criminal
act of the defendant The crime was
committed several miles miles from
the Cameron dam, which Dietze has
SO successfully defended with his rifle
and showed that the men were laying
In ambush for the officers. In sentenc-
ing Weisenbach, Judge Vinje charac-
teriZed the acts Of Dietz and Of Weis-
enbach as treason against the State
Of Wisconsin,"

OF Murder ls False.

Helena, Mont, May 16.-Brakeman
Bert Slater and Fireman Fred Sawyer
of Northern Pacific freight train re-
covered the body of William Decker
from the Yellowstone river near Dew.
ey. few miles west of Forsythe,
fered by Rosebud county. Decker
was foreman of a railroad grading
outfit and was drowned while pursu-
ling on horseback a fugitive from a
grading camp who had stolen a horse
and fled. The coroner's jury decided
