GRANT PETITIONS
Board Grants Elevator Sites in
Several South Dakota
Towns.
AN AGENT FOR OROWAl
Old Town in Brown County Regainina
Former Prestige-Commissioners
Leave for CHICAGO on lmpor-
tant Business.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. S.-The state
board Of railroad commissioners, at
their regular monthly meeting, which
has Just been concluded at the head
quarters of the commission in this city,
considered and acted upon a number of
matters.
vile, who petitioned the boar for an
elevator site at that place, the board
rendered a decision granting blossoms
petition and issued an order requiring
the Chicago, Milwaukee inc st. Paul
Railroad company to grant the desired
site. This case has been stoutly con-
tested, and it was recently necessary
to hold q hearing at Lesterville to take
testimony in the case.
1t was decided TO make a demand
upon the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad company to install a station
at Ordway, Brown county, in compli-
ance with the petition of j. G. Hall and
others. The commissioners ask that the
agent be placed in charge Of the station
"llniIl tel udSS.
1t was decided TO hold a hearing at
Avon on August 10, TO take testimony
in opposition to and in support of the
application Of A. l.. Smith for an ele-
Vator site at that place. A hearing also
was called for August Is, at Cotton. at
which the matter of granting a site for
an elevator TO DeWaId & Walters Will
be considered. The testimony OF the
parties in interest will be taken n a
decision will afterwards be rendered by
the railroad commissioners.
In the case of Ross Z. Park. who
asked for the extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad side
tracks at Lily. Day county, the mat
ter was adjusted by the railroad com
pany granting Mr.. Ross ground upon
which TO move his elevator so he can
secure the accommodations he desires.
After transacting the business COM
ing before them the railroad commits
sioners departed for Chicago on a mat
! ter of Importance to the people of South
Dakota. The nature of the business
will not develop until the members or
the board return to the state.

Only Seven Cents of Large Sum Is
LAYING Idle.

J
Pierre, s.. D., Aug. AT the begin
ming of the fiscal IA July l there was
but Z cents Of the permanent school
fund lying die in the state treasury,
which is getting the sum down to bed
rock. For the first six months in the
present year the department loaned
$443, SOS, OF which 1851, SCOTT was sent out
by the department and the balance OF
1872, 007.23 was in the way of reloans. BY
far the largest per cent. of the loans
for the period were on farm lands, that
1894, 96S, while $45, 700 was loaned on
school bonds and 5000 on municipal
bonds.
The loans were well scattered over
the state, having been made in all the
counties but five, these being Buffalo,
Hughes, Lake, Lawrence and Pen
nington.
The South Dakota manner Of loaning
the public funds is probably as safe a
method as could be devised for hand
ling so large a sum of money as mas
already accumulated in the permanent
fund, and one which Will increase. None
OF it is loaned directly by the state, but
all passes through the hands OF the
county officials, and the county secur-
ing the loan is held for its payment.
The county officials knowing that their
county must make good the funds, are
careful in regard to loans, and the fund
is handled very conseryatively. The
department desires TO place as much or
the fund as possible in farm loans, not
that they are any safer tina conserYa-
tive municipal and school loans, but
that method allows the farmers them
selves to become largely responsible TO
the state and the fund for the puJllc
schools, in which they are all personally
interested.

JAIL DELIVERY AT WATERFOWL
Three Desperate Characters Sawed
Two Iron Bars in Two.

Waterfowl, S. D.. Aug. 2.-Three
prisoners escaped from the C~Odington
county Jail last night by saving
windows OF the Jail corridor.
Two of the prisoners were sent up
for resisting an officer and the third
was the famous forger, Charley Jones,
Of North Carolina, whose chase
through the wild Carolina mountains
and capture in spite of all aid OF his
influential friends and relatives by
Sheriff James Horswill Of Hamlin
county, this state, was one of the most
daring ever made by a South Dakota
officer. The Hamlin county sheriff, in
order to insure the safe keeping of his
bird, sent him to Codington County's
fine new Jail, but which, like many
others, proved to be no obstacle to he
freedom of this willy outlaw, and he is
gone. much 10 the chagrin of both
sheriffs. That Jones had a confederate
on the outside of the Jail, probably n
shown by the fact that a heavy iron
screen over the window was cut by
nippers from the outside, and there are
no tracks in the soft dirt under the
window, showing the man came down
a ladder fro mthe window n did not
drop.
Jones left a humorous note for the
sheriff, thanking him for his hospi-
tally and telling him that only bad
news from home had tempted him to
leave. The note was we'll written and
in good style.

HORSES HAVE ACQUIRED
LOCO WEED HABIT
Startling Reports Emanate
From Slim Buttes Country
in South Dakota.
1T is NOT A NEW THING,
All Over the Western Range Country
Horses and Mules Have Become
Affected With a Strange De-
sire to Eat the Weed.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Aug. Ire
ports from the Slim Buttes country,
are to the effect that the loco weed is
once more getting in it's deadly work.
No serious trouble with the plant has
been reported for over twenty years.
Then Abe Jones had an entire bunch
OF horses locoed in this same country;
but his summer, the weed is once
more abundant, and several horseman
nave suffered severely, one man having
lost q bunch of 100 valuable horses
up on Grand river.
Stockmen who have observed this
curious habit say that the stock first
eat the weed in the early spring before
the grass gets started. When they have
once tasted it they refuse all other
~nourishment, and persist in hunting
out the poison, and in the course of
several months become blind, rabid and
generally die during the late summer
or in the fall. Cattle and sheep may
acquire the loco habit though it is most
common among horses, who seem to
have a special fondness for the fatal
herb. 1t is a stout, silky haired plant
with oblong leaves, and when ripe has
pods with the end incurVed, and grow
from eight inches to a DOT high, re-
sembling wild sage. Because, when
ripe, the seeds rattle in the pod, ii is
sometimes called the rattle weed.
Although the state of Colorado spent
nearly a quarter of a million dollars
trying to find u cure for the habit, yet
thus far, non has been found, and the
only chance for locoed stock is to
change the range, and even then,
though they may be persuaded in time
TO eat other food, they often retain
vicious habits which make them use
less. The return Of the loco habit
among horses this summer is viewed
with much alarm by stockmen, as the
loco is said to be plentiful on the north
ern ranges.

SOUTH pAKoTA's BLUE LAWS.
II Is Wicked to Play Baseball or &C
p;cninkipo On the Sabbath Day,

Yankton, s. D., Aug. 2.-Few people in
south Dakota realize that on the statuts
books of the state there remains an am
cient blue law which is well nigh as rig
orous as those which kept the early New
Englanders in the straight and narrow
path. An action begun yesterday IN this
city will bring the presence Of the law
forcibly 10 the minds of sixteen young men
who committed a grave ofense against
the peace and dignity Of the state and in
cidentally fractured the sacred blue law
on Sunday last by playing a game Of base
ball.
Nine young Americans OF Yankton made
arrangements TO meet a corresponolAg
number OF husky youths from the corn
fields and hay meadows OF Mission HIN
vicinity In an So-acre tract which had
been leased for the purpose and there to
give a genuine exhibition Of the rural
brand OF the American game. Previously
there had been some friction between the
real sports and some Of the neighbors
who objected 10 the sacrilege On the day,
and notice had been served on the ad"
vance agent that there would be nothing
doing in the hay meadow even at the cost
of invoking the Law This warning the
bows saw at 10 disregard and assembled
per arrangements, and after the usual
preliminaries got away from the wire in
good order. About this time a son of the
obiecting neighbor strolled onto the field.
This was the signal for a stampede in the
direction Of the representative Of the law
and gospel, and without more d he was
sumrnarily and somewhat forcibly eject
ed from the field. The whole affair Is now
being aired in court with sixteen OF the
nlayers as defendants in an action for
Sabbath breaking and one as defendant in
an action for head breaking.
The South Dakota law governing the
keeping OF the Sabbath is much more
strict than the majority OF people suppose.
Ii provides that labor Of any kind, except
that which is absolutely necessary, all
| public sports, all public traffic. all sale or
Offering for sale OF merchandise. all en-
gaging in trades, manufacturing or mer-
camille employments and several other
minor acts constitute Sabbath breaking.
No Sunday baseball. Sunday drives and
picnics, pulling of weeds in the back gar
den, slipping down to the store on Sunday
morning 10 sell a friend a bill of goods,
no Sunday morning shaves and shoe
shines. not even shall the Sunday paper
be purchased with its alluring comic sup
| plement unless at the peril OF infringe
ment on the blue laws Of the state.

OFFER REWARD FOR CROOK.
Ipswich Authorities Looking for Man
Who Victimized Townspeople.

Ipswich, S. D., Aug. 2.-The county
and city authorities a " offered a re-
ward for the apprehension of a crook
who worked the people of this town
a few days ago. The nan gave his
name as G.. b. Bovres, and the first
piece Of c~rookedness was the making
out of a check in the sum of $42.50 and
signing the name of Ed Powers, for
merly a deputy United States marshal.
A local party cashed the check, and
one of the banks in turn cashed it for
him. After securing the money on the
bogus check the fellow hired a rig at
one of the hveries to drive out in the
country, but he instead drove to Abb
erdeen, and the team was later found
I'm a barn in that city. Bovres is about
5 feet 10, weight 175 to $50, eyes light
blue, dark hair, and speaks broken
English. He seemed familiar with
Tama county. Iowa.

HARVESTERS TO RATTLE.
Great South Dakota Crop Ready for
Reapers.

Huron, S. D., Aug. 1.-Harvesting Of
small grain in this locality will be in
general progress within the next few
days. Some fields Of macaroni wheat
and also early sown barley n rye.
will be cut during the coming week.
The small grain harvest will come on
very rapidly and in spite Of the fact
that good wages are offered for harvest
hands, the supply will not meet the de-
mand. The small grain harvest in this
part Of the state is considered one of
the best in its history, while the acre
age is, perhaps, only a triie greater
than hat of former years. the yield
is expected to exceed that of any other
season. There is ample moisture for
maturing the small grain crop. but in
most localities corn would be benefited
by rain. The crop, however, although
backward at first, is regarded as far
advanced as last year at this time.
Spelt and millet are as good crops as
ever were grown here, while the hay
crop, which is now being harvested, is
exceptionally fine and very abundant.

Railroad Fare Prohibits 5. y.
NJ. G. From Participating In
Regular Army Maneuvers.
WILL GO INTO CAMP
Officers Decided TO Abandon Trip
TO Have Eisht-Day Eneampment
on State Grounds at Lake
Kampeska.

WATERFOWL, s. d, Aug. 4.-The South
| Dakota National Guard will not go to
Fort Riley, Kas., to participate IN the
regular army maneuvers. rms decls-
ion was made by the commissioned OF
fcers Of the guard in a meeting with
the adjutant general at headquarters
In this city. and in place of the trip &c
the regular army post II was decloed
to hold an encampment on the state
| camp grounds on the shore Of Lake
Kampeska, near WATERFOWL, August !
TO 16.
Officers and men have been planning
for weeks on the trip TO the regular
army post and the participation in ma.
neuvers there and the abandonment OF
IL is a disappointment to all, but the
trip had to be abandoned on account
Of the expense. The recent session OF
congress included in the regular army
appropriation bill 100000 for holding
camps of concentration OF the regular
army and militia at different points in
the United States. South Dakota was
allotted for these purposes $4,000, to be
divided as follows:
Seven thousand dollars for transpor-
tation, $1,000 for pay, and $1,000 for sub
sistence.
II the time the app~ortionrent was
made TO the different states II was be-
lieved the railroad companies would
transport troops TO Fort Riley ana re-
turn at the usual rate for this class
OF business, / cent per mile, allowlhS
the usual amount of baggage! Al a
meeting Of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, held after the apportionment
was made to the different states. II was
decided 10 charge IL cents per mile and
to charge the regular excess baggage
rates on all tentage and camp equip
age, Notwithstanding the fact that each
soldiers personal baggage would no
exceed fifty pounds per man, and there
was. or should have been. at least loo
pounds per man to apply on the camp
equipage.
The adjustant general has taken UNI
der advisement the proposition 10 send
one battalion TO the maneuvers instead
of a full regiment and this may be
done.

And Now Clark Merchant Sues Whole
saIers for Damages.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 3.-After hearing
the arguments of the attorneys. Judge
Garland, of the United States court in this
city, has taken under adVisement a suit
Instituted by Ole Haagensen, a merchant
of Clark, for the recovery of damages III
the sum of sf75 from Ware & Griffin Of
Clark, Wyman, Partridge & Company OF
st. Paul, the Manchester Biscuit company
of Sioux Falls and Jewett Bros. & ewett
Of Sioux Falls.
Upon application of the defendants in
the action Haagensen last May was de-
clared an involuntary bankrupt and a re-
ceiver was appointed TO take charge of his
property. A hearing in the case was held
on June IS, and as the result of the hearing
Judge Garland revoked his order appoint
ing a receiver for Haagensen's property
and ordered the receiver to turn over 10
Haagensen such property as had come into
his possession through the r~eceivership.
Recently the damage suit was Instituted
by Haagensen, and this now has, as
stated, been taken under advisement by
Judge Garland, who doubtless will within
the next few days render a decision.

Him Commandment.

Hot Springs, S. D., Aug. Am ad-

home board was held in Hot Springs
last week and unanimously reappointed
Colonel Goddard commandant of the
home.
The resignation of DR.. A. c.. Hull,
governor and chief surgeon of the Bat

peopIe of Hot Springs. DIR. Hull is the
Youngest son of Congressman Hull, of
Iowa, and came here two years ago to

The sa~nitarium is not completed yet
and will not be ready for public use
probably before mex spring, but there
has been a great deal of work prepare
tory TO the opening.
