CARNEGIE HELPS A COLLEGE.

Word has been received from Presi.
dent H. X. Warren Of Yankton col.
lege, who is in Chicago, that DR.. D.
X. Pearson has accepted all Of the
financial papers submitted to him by
the college president, and that he has
agreed to give dollar for dollar for the
100000 which Dr. Warren has raised
This means that Yankton college will
receive 100000 in all.
For two years DR.. Warren and other
friends Of the college have been try.
ing to raise $4,000 against like sum
promised by DR.. Pearson, but the ef.
fort proved impossible. DR.. Warren,
somewhat discouraged, went to Chi.
cago to lay the matter before Or.
Pearson, feeling from past interviews
that failure would be the result Of his
mission.
Apparently, however. the philanthrol
pist realized that the friends Of the
Institution had done their best, and so
agreed to set aside sum equal that
for which pledges had been secured.
The money will be placed at the dis.
posal Of the college authorities on
June 80.

LONGEST RIVER TO BE SHORTER.
Thin Bar Of Dirt Separates Missouri
From Its Tributary.


The James river, the longest un-
navigable river In the world as the
biographies have It. is now or very
soon will be some five Ililes shorter
than It was, owing to the meeting OF
the James and Missouri rivers that
distance above the mouth of the first
named river. 1t is really remarkable
how the narrow isthmus holds out
against the onslaught OF the two riv-
ers. It Is now possible, and yester-
day q reporter for this paper did 1t,
for q person to take position on all
that Is left Of the neck, and dip one
hand into the Missouri, while the
other laves In the warmer and clearer
water Of the James. This condition
OF affairs Is not likely to last much
longer, as In two places already the
Missouri is pouring through with an
immense rush into the lower water
level Of the "Jim." Careful inspection
of the locality leads one to think that
instead Of a great flood OF the lower
James, the change will simply mean
a new mouth for the river. the least
five miles standing good chance for
being nothing more than q slough. II
this surmise is correct the Missouri
will occupy It's old channel, and there
will be no damage done to speak Of.

The apportionment was made on the

shows an increase Of $500 in the

WINTER WHEAT.

Farmers Experimenting n Gregory
County.
G. F. Silerl, farmer living south
OF Gregory, is making experiments this
season in the raising OF winter wheat,
which as yet has not generally dis
placed spring wheat in this and o.her
parts of Gregory co"rty. Siler has
forty acres sown In winter wheat. He
reports that it is as pretty field OF
grain as can be seen anywhere IN the
United States. The grain has ad-
vanced quite rapidly, and now is head
ing out, being much farther advanced
than the spring variety. Siler's expe-
riment Is In the nature OF test, and
II the wheat is ready for harvest be-
fore the customary dry season comes
1t may become the future wheat crop
OF Gregory county. The claim has for
several years been made that winter
wheat is the proper crop for South
Dakota. especially the southern part,
and that II farmers generally substi-
tute it for spring wheat their crop
will mature earlier and before It can
be injured by dry weather Siler's
experiment will demonstrate whether
or not these claims are based upon a
good foundation.

DAM WORK WELL ALONG.

With the favorable weather Of tho
last few weeks, work on the govern
ment Irrigation project at Belle Fourche
has been making good progress. The
concrete work on the south side OF
the river at the diversion dam is
well along, and many yards Of con-
crete are being put in daily.
When this concrete work on the
south side is completed, there will be
only the gap through which the water
Is now running, to fill with concrete.
The water from the river will then
be turned down the inlet canal as far
as Grow Greek, and down this stream
through the sluice to the Belle
Fourche river. The cut. upon which
the steam shovel is at work, near Gil.
berts ranch will be completed by the
middle OF September.
Subcontractors have completed two
miles OF the south side feeder canal
1t is estimated that about a third OF
the entire feeder canal now is COM
pleted. and about per cent OF the
north side canal. Nearly Is per cent
OF the cut between Owl and Indian
creeks is finished, and the steam
shovel will be moved this week from
there to the reservoir site, where they
Will commence evcavating above the
dam. Two grading outfits and a
steam shovel will be put to work on
the dam, and rapid progresses un.
doubtedly will be made.

COURT GRANTS RELIEF.
Finds That Proof Of the Crime 10 Not
Plain and Palpable.

Judge Aikens, attorney for Mrs.
Kaufman, is happy in the outcome OF
his application for bail for his client
and is satisfied with the amount at
which it is fixed, although 1t is larger
than he expected.
The court grants the relief asked
for under provisions Of section Of
article of the constitution, which
provides: "All persons shall be bail
able by sufficient sureties, except for q
capital offense where the proof Is evil
dent or the presumption great"
The court said: "To our minds the
proof of the crime charged is not so
plain and palpable as to warrant US
in denying the defendants application.
She should be admitted to bail in such
sum as is just and reasonable in view
of the circumstances" The bail was
then fixed at $4,000, the bond to be
approved by Judge Jones of the circuit
court.

CAN USE RIVER FOR IRRIGATION.
Only Need Heed Navigation's Claims
on Streams

State Engineer Lea, like every other
officer who opens the way in a new
department of government, is finding
numerous problems to settle, without
any precedent for action. One matter
which he has just settled is the rights
Of water users to take water from the
Missouri river for irrigation purposes,
the decision coming through the war
department at Washington.
f. J. Phares, who owns a tract of
land near the river, applied for the
right to use water from the stream for
irrigation purposes. Engineer Lea
held he had no right to grant the priv
ilege, as the water of the stream is
under government Jurisdiction, and the
application was passed on to the gen.
eral government. A reply has been re-
ceived from n. F. Hodges, chief of the
engineers Of the war department,
which holds that the department has
no power to grant the use of water
from the Missouri river for irrigation
purposes and could give no rights. But
where water is taken from the river
for that purpose, SO long as navigation
Is not obstructed by the appliance
used for the purpose, and the amount
OF water taken is not such as to ap-
preciably reduce the flow OF the
stream, the department could make
no objection to such use. In other
words, the man who uses Missouri
river water for irrigation can secure
no right to do SO, but SO long as he
does not obstruct navigation he will
not be disturbed. This will allow the
irrigation of number OF tracts along
the river, by means of small power
pumps, and will materially assist the
work of gardeners along the stream.

DRAINAGE LAW TEST ls LIKELY
South Dakota Petitioners Carry Cases
to Courts.

to Courts.
It now seems almost certain that
the drainage bitches petitioned for in
Clay county will not be granted. At
ter granting the one known as the
Irene ditch, the county board finds
that the assessment levied was not
high enough, and, according to the
law, a second assessment cannot be
made. 1t will require about $500 to
finish the work, which has not prog.
ressed far as yet The Clay county
ditch, after being considered several
months, has been knocked out by the
joint boards of Clay and Yankton
counties. The Joint board will meet
to consider the Gayville ditch in July,
| and the understanding Is that this will
meet the same fate as the Clay Creek
ditch.
The petitioners for the bitches can
then on up to the supreme court, but
1t is hard to see how they can gain
favorable decision, in view Of the
present law.
The whole question hinges on
whether or not the construction Of
drainage bitches will be conducive to
the public health. convenience and
welfare. There is no law which will
allow the county boards to order
drainage bitches to preserve sanitary
conditions. The fact that the land is
covered with water and is useless for
farming purposes does not suffice. The
Clay Creek ditch petitioners argued
that the very fact that water stood
on the lands was sufficient evidence
that stagnation and unhealthful condi-
tions were sure to prevail. Counsel
for the defense argued that because
the land was wet it did not necessarily
follow that the public health was en-
dangered, and, unless this could be
shown conclusively, the commission
ers had no legal right to order the
bitches constructed.
The expense of constructing the
bitches petitioned for would be heavy.
Aside from digging the ditch, land
owners would have to be paid for
their land. In the Clay Creek ditch
alone claims aggregating $4,000 were
filed.
Lawyers do not agree as to the con-
stitutionality Of the South Dakota
drainage law. But the majority seem
to believe that the law is sound
enough. If question should be raised
and the supreme court should decide
that the law is unconstitutional, then
the point might be raised as to who
should stand the expenses already in
Cured in having surveys and other
work done If the law is all right,
then the petitioners will have to dig

MRS. EMMA kAUFMANN,

The supreme court at Pierre Satur-
day decided that Mrs. Kaufman, the
wealthy woman in jail at Sioux Falls
charged with the murder of her young
servant, Agnes Polreis, may be ad-
mitted to bail in the sum of $25,0O0.
The news was received at Sioux
Falls about o'clock and in a few
minutes reached the county Jail where
1t was conveyed to Mrs. Kaufman,
who perceptibly frightened when in
formed of 1t. However, she is a very
sick woman and, although anxious to
depart from the Jail, it was not GER
tain early in the evening that her con-
dition would permit of her immediate
removal even if a bond were furnished
that night
In few minutes after the news
came Mr.. Kaufman received offers
from over a hundred prominent citi
zens and leading business men to go
upon the bond, SO there was not the
slightest doubt that it would be fur
nished as soon as the preliminaries
were arranged
The bond was filed early Sunday
morning and Mrs. Kaufman was re-
leased Monday
