clNcH GIFT FROM CARNEGIE.
Endowment Of 100000 for Dakota
Wesleyan University.

The endowment Of 100000 for Da-
kota Wesleyan university of Mitchell
Is now an assured fact, made so by
the action of the ministers and lay
men of Dakota conference, which has
just completed it's session at Vermil-
lion.
A little over a year ago President
Nicholson received an offer from An
drew Carnegie to donate SOS, 900 to
the university as the, nucleus toward
an endowment fund of $1OO. 900, his
$4,000 becoming available when the
other $4,000 was raised. When the
conference session opened there was
$4,000 remaining to be secured. Fri
day afternoon Bishop Mcdowell and
president Nicholson started the cam
paign for completing the amount.
When the work was completed the
ministers had contributed a little over
$11 1000 and the laymen had raised a
little over $4,000. OF the latter
amount $4,000 vas raised by the citi-
zens of Mitchell, the committee tele-
graphing the amount to the confer
enc late in the afternoon.
Another large donation was made
by the ministers and laymen when
they pledged themselves to raise ST.
100 per year for three to five years
for a contingent fund for the UNIVERSE
ty, with which to pay the running ex.
penses of the college.

Washington Springs Citizens Raise
$4,000 and Work Is Begun.
Excavation was begun Monday for
a new hotel at washington Springs.
The city has long needed a first-class
hotel, as the local hostelries were IN
able to carr properly for the traffic.
About a month ago j. L. Coram, who
had been running a hotel at Plankin-
ton, came here with the intention OF
remodeling an old store building into
a hotel. but the business men gener-
ally did not look with favor upon this
plan. Mr.. Coram then asked for a
proposition from the citizens, and they
agreed to furnish the site and give a
bonus Of $3.50, providing the. hote,
should be f1rst-class, with at least
twenty-five guest rooms, and costing
not less than $500. The amount that
finally had to be raised was about ST.
900. Mr.. Coram accepted the propo-
sition, and a committee of citizens
was appointed which accepted the
plan proposed. The construction con-
tract has not been let, as the blue
prints are not finished.

Bohemians Plan to Give Up Colony
in Nebraska.
A Bohemian settlement down in
Eastern Nebraska is making plans to
dispose of it's land in that section and
buy in South Dakota. The first dele
cation has just closed the deal for the
purchase of 1,160 acres Of land north
east and southwest of Mitchell. They
paid 100000 for their land, which
ranged in price from $40 to $62 an acre.
The Bohemians have disposed of their
land in Nebraska for as high as $110
per acre, and are again going to take
up their residence in a new country.
Thew have thoroughly investigated the
conditions in this section and claim
that they can be just as successful
here as in Nebraska. The first five
families will move here in the spring
to take possession of their land, and
the others are coming a year later.

DELAYS LAND OPENINGS.
Necessity Of AiIoting Property to In.
dams flinders Work.

Maj. Somers, agent at Grow Creek
agency, reports that the work of al.
lotment on the Lower Brule reserva-
ton has been completed, and that
they are now going to Grow Creek res
ervation on the east side of the river.
1t will take all winter to complete
the work on that reservation, and
from there they will go to Cheyenne
River reservation, the work Of which
will take practically a year..
Allotments were made ON all these
reservations several years ago, but
since that time a number of the In.
dams have changed their minds as
to the place which they desire to live,
and are asking the privilege of set
Ting at other locations. Then there
are the new arrivals on the reserva-
ton, each of whom is entitled to q
quarter section, and selections have
to be made for them.
This will mean that the desire to
have the unalloted portions of Grow
Creek and Cheyenne River reserva-
tons opened to settlement will have
to be delayed for a year or more at
least. 1t is only a question of timo
until both of these reservations will
have to give way to civilization, but
it will not be at once.

WRECK WORKS TOO WELL

Section Hands Are Really Hurt and
Admit Fixing Rails.
An unusual scheme to extort money
from a railroad corporation has been
frustrated by detectives In the em-
ploy Of the Great Northern Railroad
company.
Two men were implicated in the
scheme to defraud, and both were en-
ployed by the railroad company as
section men at Davis, Turner county,
south of Sioux Falls. They figured
they could make some "easy' money
by getting hurt" while performing
their duties as section men. Accord
ingly they quietly went to a cut on
the railroad near Davis, where they
pulled some spikes and loosened a
reil.
Having fixed things ready for the
accident" they propelled their hand
car along the track, and at the point
where the rail had been loosencd the
handcar, as planned, was derailed. In
the mixup the two men were hurt"
but a little more severely than they
had figured on. Without delay they
put In a claim for damages, and a
claim agent Of the Great Northern
company was sent to Davis to make
an investigation.
He secured information which led
him to summon railroad detectives to
the scene, who, after hard work, suc-
ceeded in securing a confession from
the two section. men. Information
from Davis is to the effect that the
two culprits will b elucky If they es-
cape a term in the penitentiary for
their peculiar attempt to defraud the
railroad company.

South Dakota Food Commissioner Can
Enforce Provisions Of Law.
The judge of the United States dis
trict court has hNlded down a dec1-
sion denying the application Of Marion
w. Savage for a temporary restrain
ing order enjoining the pure food COM
missioner Of this state from enforcing
the law known as the stock food law.
This law requires that the ingredients
of the stock food be printed on the
package. Mr.. Savage, as proprietor Of
a stock food company, brought the ac-
ton to restrain the enforcement Of
this law, and asked the court for an
order restraining the food commits
sioner from enforcing the same dur
ing the tendency Of the action. This
motion was denied, and the pure food
commissioner will undoubtedly issue
a new order to retail dealers forbid
ding them to sell stock foods which do
not disclose the ingredients composing
the same.

TOO GOOD TO GIVE HENS.
Farmer Nets $37.35 Per Acre on Grain
He Raised to Give to Chickens.

Farmer Nets $37.35 Per Acre on Grain
He Raised to Give to Chickens.
To reap a profit that averaged s37.35
per acre from grain which he had held
over for chicken feed vas the expert
ence of David Pearson, a well-known
farmer living in Charles Mix county.
Pearson has just marketed a large
quantity of barley which he raised
two years ago. He kept the barley on
hand for chicken feed. intending to
feed the whole of it, but when barley
reached it's present high price he de-
cided that the grain was too valuable
for chicken feed, and hauled 1t
tt market. 1t is figured by Pearson
that at the yield he had two years
ago the barley carried over and just
marketed netted him an average Of
1875 per acre.
There have been many good reports
of the profits made this season per
acre from barley crops in South Da-
kota, but none of them can equal the
profit made by Pearson on his "chick-
en- feed"
