to abstain from 1t and control their
admiration until a suitable place has
been found where they can pour forth
their undying love. This new pro.

the result OF an ordinance drafted
by the city council which prevents
love making of any character in any

The Chicago, Milwaukee g. St.
Paul railroad is advertising its new
coast extension far ahead of the CON-
pletton Of the, line, but the road
wants the peopina to know what Is
coming their way by getting them in
readiness to take advantage OF the
opportunity when 1t presents itself.
The Milwaukee has just issued a
handsome new booklet covering The
territory of its new extension to tb-
Pacific coast, and 1t is a magnificent
edition Of the printers art. The
book contains numerous illustrations
of choice bits Of scenery which In
clude the mountains and rivers and
makes reference to the important
towns along It's line OF road, and the
Milwaukee will strike some excellent
places along its line of route, while
1t will doubtless start many new
towns In the country through which
1t passes. 1t is a grand undertaking
that the Milwaukee system has in
hand and it is bouno to open up a
new avenue Of feeding business for
Its line through to Chicago.

Ali kinds of trusts are receiving
the attention Of the government
these days. The last that is to be
hauled on the carpet for the viola
tion OF the Sherman act is the
harvester trust. The information
omes fiom Washington to the effect
that the legal department has been
gathering the information about the
harvester trusts violations and that
1t is ready to prove its allegations.
The case is to be called in Chicago
about the middle of next week. The
legal machinery Of the department
of justice has been at work for
months In collecting the testimony
desired. and 1t will attempt to Prove
tnat the International Harvester Co.
controls at least seventy per cent Of
the OUTPUT of the reapers, mowers
and other agricultural implements of
the United States. This Will be In
t%erestinR information to the farmers
of the country who have peen Obliged
to pay such high homage to the maxi
ers Of agricultural implements.

Rapid City has commenced to serve
notice on the North-W Western railroad
that that town must not be passed
up as a division point, a rumor
having come to the attention of Rap
Id City that Deadwood, its hated
rival, was to be made the division
point. Rapid City people want the
Northwestern officials to understand
that they will bitterly resent any
action taken that will deprive them
of the distinction of being the
western division point, and they
think they are entitled 20 it by reason
of the long waiting for the extension
Of the road. They hint that in
case Rapid City is overlooked in this
matter that there is anotlae, road
the Milwaukee-whlch can lie used
to punish the North Western in case
the rumore proves true. Rapid CITY
is evidently getting right up on its
toes to fight for what it believes
is due it in this railroad extension
matter and proposes to have the
benefits that are to accrue for the
Invasion OF the new territory.

More land is to he thrown open to
settlement on the reservation west
OF the Missouri river, in the Lower
Brule district. There are IS, 600
acres to be turned over to intending
settlers, which divided into quarter
sections will give 344 people an op-
po1tunity to secure this valuable
land. OF the 344 quarters there will
undoubtedly be 10000 people after a
chance to get In on the lottery
proposition. whereby the land is to
be given to the public. 10 the
Lower Brule agency there are about
275, 900 acres OF land and that TO be
opened to settlement comprises about
one-tifth, and it is presumed that
in the purse Of tine the entire
amount will be given to the people.
For the opening Of a new section of
country settlers will have a compara-
lively easy time in reaching the
land, for the Milwaukee road runs
to the south Of it and the MOI th-
Western to the north of it. Hereto
fore it has been the case where
Indian reservations were opened to
the public that it usually entailed a
long drive to the destination and
many hardships In drawing fuel and
provisions.

All that the corn in South Dakota
asks for now is to have a couple Or
three weeks of weather without the
tinge of frost and it will display a
yield that will bring surprise to the
people In the east who think that
corn cannot be raised successfully
out this way. ALI over this section
of the state the indications point
to an immense crop, and two weeks
will see the best Of it out of the way
of frost doing serious damage and
three weeks will practically mature
the crop. About the time corn was
planted there vas not much hope
that the crop would eve get along
as far as it Is at this tine Of the
year, hut there was enough moisture
during July to make the crop move
along with great rapidity.

At one time the projected extern
sion OF the Milwaukee road from the
Missouri river west gave evidence
that the southern part of the state
would be cut out entirely with any
direct connection with the Pacific
coast lines. That was when the
second extension of the Milwaukee
system was started from a point
west Of Aberdeen, and the s%upposition
was that the Milwaukee would build
to Rapid City and stop. The situa-
tion seems to be different at this
time. Advices have come in from
the west which puts an entirely
different phase on the situation at
present time. This is to the effect
that the Milwaukee will build fronl
Rapid City through Deadwood and
proceed on through that country and
connect with the line building from
the northern part of the state at
some point out in Butte county.
Should this be carried to a conclu-
sion it will be a vast benefit to the
southern part Of the state.

Interstate Fair, Sioux City, Iowa,
which will be held September TIA.
Secretly F. L. Wirick of the Fair
! Association informs us that the ex-
hibit of cream separators, churns,
butter workers and all sorts of dairy
untensils and machinery at the Inter-
state Fair will be unusually large and
comprehensive this year. Everyone
knows that there is perhaps no farm
industry that has made more rapid
progress during recent years than
dairying and those who have not
been keeping in close touch with
dairy work should avail themselves Of
the opportunity to see the latest and
most improved cream separators now
to be found on the market. 1t is real
ly a great privilege to the farmer to
be able to go into a single building
and there study from IL to 20 differ
ent makes Of cream separators and
hear the agents explain the good
points of their respective machines.
When you go to the fair don't leave
your tongue at home, bring it with
you, and If you have an extra one
bring that along too. When you fin
ally get to the fair with them both
ask all the intelligent questions you
can think of. You will also find
manufacturers and dealers willing to
explain the wares they have on ex-
hibit and they will be glad to give
you the information you desire. They
will not likely tell you a great deal
unless you ask questions.

The suit that was started by
George w. Glover, Of Deadwood,
South Dakota, whose mother is Mrs.
Mary Baker 6. Eddy, against Calvin
s. Frye and others for an account
ing Of the property of Mrs. Eddy,
has been given up by Mr.. Glover aud
his counsel. The case has been
dragging along a couple Of weeks in
the effort to establish the COM
peteney of Mrs. Eddy to manage her
own property. The case was dis
missed for the reason given by Mr..
Glover's counsel that s'the unplolit-
ableness of any immediate result of
a decision in u favor up to the
exact issue as now framed, compared
with the burdens and disadvantages
to be endured by US both before and
after such a decision" No findings
are asked by the counsel on any
point SO far as the case is gene. The
attorneys for Mrs. Eddy, however,
reluctantly want to see the case dis
missed and they are DESTROYS of
having the competency of Mrs. Eddy
established, claiming that much of
interest to the public would he
divulged in the course of the facts
brought out. one Of which woGlu be
that Mrs. Eddy on Feb. 81, 1907,
began to arrange for the manage
ment Of her property for the rest Of
her life and to provide for her
kindred during that time.

The Watertown Public Opinion
cannot see how a compromise can be
effected between the opposing wings
OF the republican party-not
and do justice to the gentle
men who are in the pub
lie mind today. The Public Opinion
says that Governor Crawford's ambi-
tion is the United States senate; that
Senator Kittredge Is a candidate for
reelection, and to effect a compro-
mise between the factions would
mean to leave one or the other out.
This cannot possibly be done. Neither
will yield in the senatorial question
and they should not. The whole ques-
ton might as we'll be fought out one
time as another.

Out at Deadwood there seems to
be something of a war on the gamb-
ling proposition, and the Pioneer
Times has a kindly word to say in fla
vor of it at the expense of Freeman
Knowles, who is evidently opposing
gambling in that city. The Pioneer
Times points out the fact that it's
opponent has in times past gambled
In some sort of way and that he
should be consistent at this time.
1t does not look like a very good pro-
position to have gambling licensed
and it is not in conformity to good
city government to countenance it in
that way. Deadwood ought to make
Its advancement on higher principles
than success gained at the gaming
tables as one of its attributes.

body taken from Seneca Lake two weeks

Loomis was a New York Central brake

identified IL, they thought. and ordered n
costly coffin. In order to remove all doubt
they called In a dentist who had flied the
teeth OF Loomis just before his disap-
pearance, and the latter declared IL was
Loomis' body beyond question. Fellow
lodgersof Loomis also said there could be
no doubt.

PASTORS LOVE
LETTERS CAUSED
CHURCH SCANDAL

Chicago May T.-Charged with writing
love letters to Mrs. Charles Stanley
Campbell of No. 743 Foster avenue. a
member of his congregation, the Rev.
John Johns, pastor of the Summerdale
Congregational church, at Farragut ave-
nue. and North Paulina street has ten
dered his resignation to the board OF
trustees and is seeking another pastorate.
1t Is charged by several members of his
congregation that the finding of the love
letters caused scandal In the suburb and
that the minister was forced 10 resign.
The Rev Mr.. Johns. however, declares
that he resigned merely in the interest OF
harmony. He admits writing the letters,
but says they were sent TO Mrs. Campbell
in connection with a novel she is prepar-
ing. He says further that his wife knows
OF the writing, and that she stands behind
him In the charges that are being made
by some members OF the congregation.
One OF the letters found. which resulted
in the discovery OF a number of such
letters, reads:
Dearest: / saw you in the church this
morning, and as soon as my gaze fell up
on you / felt thrill permeate my whole
being, Before / saw you / had felt your
presence. but when at last my eyes en-
countered yours l felt that | was in
spired, and then / knew that i must tell
you how / felt"
