In an article on Al. w.

Judging from its present fresh- ness, all alluring powers will be per- enial.

THE TALMAS.

The first sight of that minstrel first part in the Talmas house of
 minstrelsy on Monday and Tuesday
 evenings next week in Polls theater
 will simply take you of your feet and make you wonder at the beauty
 of the scene disclosed. Myriads of
 electric lights will flash out every
 where and the skilled hand of the electrician will be in evidence The
 beautiful settings consisting of five hanging pieces or drops have just re- ceived the last artistic touch of the
 painters brush. The name painter is
 too harsh sounding. for the scenic
 artist, Fred Komlosy, is one of the very few in the business who under stands what the occasion demands
 and does it with all the elaborate
 ness and effectiveness of the natural born scenic creator. Present when
 that curtain arises will be sixty of the best singers in the city, all at- tired in proper manner to conform to the scene itself. There will be nothing in the scene that will recall any of the old stage worn and stere- |otyped minstrel first parts. It will simply be a new conception and one which Is wanted and will be used by some of the leading minstrel compan- les just as soon as the -Talmas grant ed the permission. Agents and min trels from those companies will be
 here on those evenings to take in the whole performance and incident ally get a line on what the Talmas present this year. The leaders of the minstrel world they are called now
 all over New England and they will more than earn that title after they have shown you their new and novel presentation next week. Fun and pleasure will be the kings and be- fore their thrones the Talmas have cast down the gauntlet and defy them all to beat them. The advanced sale chart. remember. goes on exhi. bition on Saturday morning S:3O in

Our Dependents and Criminals.

Mitchell, S. D. Through the
courtesy of w. E. Upton, of this city,
secretary of the board of charities
and corrections, some interesting
figures have been obtained relative
to the conditions of the various penal
and charitable institutions of the
state. At the close of the fiscal
year, June 80, the population of the
various institutions was as follows:
Training school, Plankington, 81
males, IA females, total II; feeble
minded, Redfeld, 50 males, Sc fe-
males, total, 1926; school for blind,
Gary, so males, IL females, total,

70; ~penitentiary, Sioux Falls, $50
males, 2 females, total 1872; hospital
for insane. Yankton, 43O males, 24S
females. total, SIS. This makes a
total of 1,16S persons of the dere-
lict and defective classes in this
state out of a population of about
half a million and it is an exceeding
lly low rate ration compared witt

Plenty of Moisture in South Dakota.

Plenty of Moisture in South Dakota.
Old time settlers in South Dakota,
both in the eastern part and in this
section, are greatly puzzled over the
climatic change which apparently has
taken place in the state. A writer at
Pierre says While weather men insist
p o their theory tnat there is no
climatic change in the northwest, the
farmers of the state are up against a
condition which will not fit the theo-
ny. In the eastern part of the state
drainage is taking up more of the
consideration of the farmer than did
the rain makers in the drought years.
In the Sioux valley a large acreage
of their best land has been so wet
this year that it could not be put in
to a crop, or if it was, the water has
made the crop practically worthless.
In the jim river valley, to a more
limited degree, the same condition
prevails. The man who could farm
his land up to a few years ago, and
now finds his crops drowned out year
after year, with drainage as the only
J remedy left to uim, is hard to con-
vert to a theory that there has been
no change. In the Missouri valley
and west of the Missouri river where
a crop was looked upon as a myth
by people in the eabIern part OF the
state a few years ago., the rainfall
has been sufficient for the past few
years to secure a good crop, and this
year travellers owe the state say
the best crops to be found in South
Dakota are on the Missouri slope
and west. The people of hal section
after struggling with drought for
many years are also hard to convince
that no change mas taken place.
While a series of years may not show
a change, the present at least is one
OF plenty for the western part of the
state, as it long has been for the
eastern part, and new people arc
coming every day.

YOUNG OFFICER DEMANDS APoL.
ooY FROM IOWA JUDGE. :
Trouble Arises Over Suggestion Of
Jurist to Boys, Sentenced for Rob.
f berry, That They Enlist for
Sea Service.

Des Moines. la.--Des Moines Is
aroused over the sensational clash be-
tween Judge Brennan OF the criminal
courts and Lieut.. John Downes, who
is IN charge of the United States naval
recruiting station here, and which
grew decidedly bitter when Lieut..
Downes wrote to Judge Brennan de.
manding that he apologize for what
Lieut. Downes termed IAN insult, to
the navy. 3
The sharpest of letters have passed
back and forth between the two--so
intense that inmates of the courthouse
have expected to see the navy and
judiciary come to personal blows.
IT all happened when Judge Bren-
nan suggested that Ross Seward and
Fred Albright, tow boys. who were up
for sentence for robbery, enlist with
the navy, reform, and thus avoid
serving jail sentences. The court sent
Deputy Sheriff Wesley Ash over to
Lieut. Downes TO ask II he could use
the boys.
Then the young officer grew indig-
nant.
Go to your Judge and tell him that
the United States navy is composed
of gentlemen-not felons," he said,
angrily.
The deputy sheriff carried the mes
sage back to the court.
The more Lieut.. Downcs studied the
situation the more indignant he be-
came. Finally he sat him down and
wrote a scOrching letter to Judge
Brennan demanding that he apologize.
lyon have insulted the United
States navy. demand that you apol-
ogize to that navy through me- he
wrote.
Then 1t was Judge Brennan's turn
to get hot.
When get so that Twill apologize
to some little whippersnapper of an
officer who fancies he can make a
grandstand play--well, I refuse to
apologize" he said. Go back to your
young lieutenant and tell him to avoid
any undue expansion of the head
Tell him not to get chesty," and thus
the court sent the navy messenger
away.
Then came another letter from the
lieutenant in which the officer said he
had mistaken the purpose of Judge
Brennan in seeking to enlist the men.
Il am glad, ON behalf of my SUI
periors, to accept your apology" he
concluded 81
Apologize nothing; didn't apollo
size,' roared Judge Brennan, as mad
as a halter. II did nothing to apollo
gize for. Things have come to a pret-
~ pass when an old. gray-haired
Judge. who has served his country as
long as | have, should be accused of
insulting my flag and my navy. I'll
