HEROIC SACRIFICE.
founs Woman Offers to Aid in Re
storino Woman's Cuticle.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Feb. 6.-Miss
Mary Berg, daughter of c. j. Berg. q
prominent resident of Volga, by the
exhibition of a genuine spirit of self
sacrifice has demonstrated that all the
heroines are not to be found nursing
soldiers on the battlefields or in the
army hospitals.
Last September Mrs. Hildus Ege-
berg, residing near Volga, was serious
ly burned as the result of an explosion
caused by attempting to start a fire
lin a cook stove with kerosene oil. Since
that time the unfortunate woman has
Several .of the burns upon her body
We're so large and deep that they re-
fused to yield to medical treatment.
New skin refused to grow over these
burned places and the only thing that
remained to be done was to find some-
one who would volunteer to have some
cuticle taken from their body SO 1t
could be grated on the affected por-
tions of the body of Mrs. Egeberg,
which refused to heal.
When informed of this determination
on the part of the physicians, Miss
Berg VOLUNTEERED to submit to an op-
GRAFTON so sufficient cuticle could be re-
moved from her body for the purpose
stated, and two physicians performed
the operation. The cuticle thus Sc
burned portions of the body of Mrs.
-Egeberg, and the wounds are now ex-
pected to heal quite rapidly.
An interesting feature of the matter
is that Mrs. Egeberg and Miss Berg
are strangers, the young lady being
prompted in her action solely by a
spirit of self sacrifice.

TO KNOCK OUT THE
WHISKY CLAUSE
Business Men of Wagner to
Appeal to Government to
Change the Order.
7 WORKS A HARDSHIP
indians on Allotted Lands Are Forbid,
den to Ever Sell Land Unless This
Clause Be Inserted in
the Deed.

Wagner, S. D., Feb. 1.-THE business
hen of Wagner have decided to send
man to Washington, d. c., to try to
iave removed from the Indian deeds
what is known as the whisky clauses,
The man has not yet been selected, but
The funds have all been raised.
A few months ago the commissioner
IF Indian affairs made a ruling that
when an Indian sold any Of his land
that comes to him by Inheritance
clause forever prohibiting the sale or
the giving away of intoxicating liquors
on the land. This works a great hard
ship on the Indian as it has stopped
The sale of all their lands. The Indian
is not permitted to sell his allotment,
out only the land that comes to him
oy Inheritance. With this clause In
.he deed no one will buy as he may
oose the land the next day by its re-,
yerting back to the Indian.
The commissioners ruling is so
broad that it covers the sale or giving
away of intoxicating liquors by any
,ne, whether the purchaser or not. The
and is to. revert back at once to the
indian. This clause in the deed,
while it lessons the sale and price Of
The land, does not add any force to the
temperance cause among the Indians.
In the treaty with YanlSton Sioux
The sale of liquor is forever prohibited
On this reservation. This is the law
whether in the deed or not. Putting it
in the deed does not make it any more
binding, it only opens up a field for
fraud with the Indian. If any one gets
mad or has any spite against the pur-,
chaser all he has to do is to go on the
and and give away some whisky on
lit. The land goes back to Mr.. Indian.
This temptation is more than some
white men could stand
In the interest of the Indian and the
purchaser, Wagner has decided to SEND
some one to Washington to try to have
this clause taken from the deeds.

DOGS CORNER A WOLF.
Giant Specimen Killed by Ranchmen
at Bijou Hills.

Bijou Hills, S. D., Feb. 5.-Sportsmen
IN this locality are having considerable
sport this winter hunting wolves, which
nre unusually numerous in the rough
country along the Missouri river in
this vicinity. A hunting party COM
posed of Thomas Austin, Charles Todd
and John Bingham the other day had
an interesting adventure with huge
wolf, which their combined pack Of
eight dogs succeeded in cornering on
top of one of the range hills from
which this place receives it's name. The
dogs, after cornering the wolf, which
was of the gray timber wolf variety
and of gigantic size, were unable to
kill the animal, and the three men
We're compelled to rope the wolf and
haul 1t away from the dogs so they
could shoot it. The wolf was one Of
the largest ever seen in this part of
South Dakota. The hunters say it is
the first case on record in the history
of the sport in which light dogs were
able to capture and hold wolf OF this
size and strength.

TAKES FOR YEAR 1905.
Total Is Half Million Greater Than for
Preceding Year.

Pierre, S. D.. Feb. 5.-The state audi
tors Office has completed a compilation
of the taxes extended in all the coun.
ties of the state for the years 1904 and
1905. showing the total amount of taxes
which will be called for all purposes,
state, county. township or municipal
The figures show an increase of prac-
tically a half million dollars for 1905
over 1904. The total amount asked for
in 1904 was s5.O20, ,S46.87; and to meet
the demands Of 1905, calls for $551S,-
Bs0.88. The total valuations for 1905
as shown by the extensions by county
boards, shows discrepancy when com
pared with the figures as left by the
state board after equalizing the returns
made by them. The completed work Of
the state board showed total valua-
ton for assessment, purposes In the
state of $21a,G47,674; and the values un-
der the county tax extensions are $780,
592322, an increase of million dollars.
This increase evidently comes from cor
rections in the assessment returns.

1T is AN INSULT
So Declares Representative Gillespie
Regarding the Report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

Washington, Feb. S.--Gillespie, o.
Texas, author of the resolution regard
ing the alleged Pennsylvania railroad
combination, answered yesterday, by
the president, declared today the an
swer was an insult. That with the
sreat machinery at hand a complete in
Nestigation of actual conditions should
have been made. He said such an in
yestigation would show that railroads
carrying bitu1nioous coal to Atlantic
ports are the Pennsylvania, New York
Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesa-
peake and Ohio, Norfolk and Western
and the Reading.
He asserted investigation would show
there had been an allotment to each
coal carrying road of certain territory
TO prevent competition in markets by
means of rate adjustments, agreements
and combinations
Also that of Pennsylvania and New
York Central by means of their stock
ownership arrangements have prevent y
ed coal from the territory of the Nor
folk and Western and Chesapeake and
Ohio from being carried anywhere
above the Virginia capes; also that the
Pennsylvania company has the power
to curtall shipments from the terri
tory served by the Baltimore and Ohio
and Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk
and Western; also that the Baltimore
and Ohio declines to allot a fair pro-
portion of cars to Independent ship
pers or to allow independent compa-
hies to open up new mines and become
shippers on the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio; also that Investigation would
show the Pennsylvania railroad and its
officers We're interested in the coal
companies shipping over its lines
Gillespie has prepared resolution,
which he will introduce, requesting the
president to direct the Interstate Com
merce commission to make an imme1
diate investigation of all these charges.
The investigation provided for in
the Gillespie resolution consists of
eight queries to be made by the In;
terstate Commerce commission as fol-
lows:
First-whether the roads carrying
coal have any ownership or interest In
mines.
second-whether officers of these
roads are interested personally in
mines.
Third-whether there is any. con-
tract between mines and roads amount
ing to restraint of trade or creating
a monopoly in bituminous coal.
Fourth-If such above facts are
found to exist then the commission is
required to report the details of such
relationship, and set forth the agree-l
nents or the terms of monopoly or
ownership interests
Fifth-The commission is to report
MS to system of car distribution
Sixth-It is to suggest remedy.
Seventh-1t Is to report any facts
and conclusions it may deem pertinent,
Eighth-It IS to make the investigal J
ton at it's earliest opportunity

BABE LEFT AT DOOR.
Sioux Fall. Couple Recipients Of Tin
One by Unknown Donor.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 7.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. H. Russell, who conduct what
is known as the Russell Candy Kitchen
in this city, were the recipients of a
little baby girl, which they found at
the back door of their place OF BUSH
ness. Notwithstanding that the tenn
perature was below zero when the in
fant was found, 1t apparently had not
been affected by the exposure and is
doing well.
The child was found at the doorway
at about 8:45 o'clock in the evening.
Mr.. Russell was sitting in the rear
part of his store when he heard a
bump against the back door. Thinking
the noise was made by children in the
snetghborhood he paid no attention. A.
short time later a customer remarked
that he heard a child crying. Upon in
vestigation the little founding WIS die
covered on the doorstep at the back
door.
The identity of the parents of the
baby is mystery. The infant when
found was only an hour or two old
and was wrapped in an old garment
and a piece of woolen blanket Inside
the blanket was found a penciled note,
written in a good hand, and reading:
Dear Madame: am poor unfor-
tunate woman heard YOU are good
woman: Please take the baby for your
own child. Please call her Victoria
Pearl. Take good care Of her. and
God bless you. You will never hear OF
me again. Be kind to her"

South Dakota Shows a Good
Record for the Past

The Governments Report Bears Out tho
Claim That the State ls Fast Be-
coming a Great Corn
Country.

Huron, S. D., Feb. 3-Many persons
IN South Dakota have been claiming for.
many years that this state was COM
ing great corn state. but many outside.
of the state and some few ''croakers''
inside would not believe it. The gov-
ernment report, however, for December.
1905, issued under the authority OF the
agricultural department., and compiled
in the most authentic manner, gives
out what will be a surprise to many
people. that the corn crop for South
Dakota for 1905 was 51.614,733 bushels.
with an average per acre of 31.8 bush-
els. Comparing this record with the
reports on other states, it is found:
First-That South Dakota grows
more corn by 100000 bushels than the
state of Minnesota, more corn than the
state OF Michigan and only 1000. 900
bushels less than the state Of Wiscon-
sin.
Second-That South Dakota grows
more corn than any Of the southern
states except Kentucky. Tennessee and
Texas. North Dakota for 1905 produced
only 2,45S,638 bushels, and South Da-
kota produced more than twenty-five
times as much corn as North Dakota
Also, South Dakota produced more
corn than all of the six New England
states combined, the great empire state
pf New York. New Jersey, Delaware.
North Dakota. Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, Utah. Oregon, California, Colo
RADIO or Wyoming. s# #
The total product of corn OF all OF
these states combined was $4,000 BUSH

Sioux Falls. S. D., Feb. s.-Was
Christopher Sween, prominent and
we'll to do farmer living near the little
town of Humboldt, the victim OF
thieves, who took his life in order to
cover up their crime? is a question

his farm to Humboldt, where he placed
his team in livery barn. After spend
ing some time around Humboldt he

TAME GRASS PAYS.
South Dakota Farmers Now Make .
Annual Crop.

Clear Lake. s. D., Feb. S-some years
ago 1t was the general belief that tame
grasses could not successfully be raised in
this part Of South Dakota, but the expert
ence Of farmers residing in this locality has
demonstrated that the soil and climate
in this part of the state is adapted to the
production of tame grasses. Among those
who have made success of this compara-
lively new industry in South Dakota are
Ithe Taylor Bros, who for some years have
occupied what is known as the Grant
ranch near here. They have just com-
lpleted shipping their timothy seed crop.
which was raised last season. The ships
lment consisted Of over 1000 bushels and
as this seed is worth $3.15 per hundred
pounds in Chicago they will realize good
profit from the land devoted to this crop.
In addition to the amount shipped they
retained large quantity of the seed for
seeding purposes this season and sold sup7
plies to many other farmers in this vicin-
ity. 1t is conservatively estimated that an
aggregate Of about ten carloads OF tim,
pthy seed, or about 60G0 bushels, is an
nually shipped from this and other points
in Deuel. county. The farmers of the
county also are having good srccess in tho
atsing of clover and alfalfa.
