MUST VOTE TO GET "WET.''
Attorney General Says Only Local Ac.
ton May Permit Saloons.

Attorney General Clark, on request
from the Walworth county authorities,
holds in effect that the present liquor
law in the statutes of South Dakota
is in effect a prohibitory statute except
in cases where organized towns or
townships vote to the contrary.
The query came in the way of de
sired information as to the right of
the county commissioners to grant a
license to sell liquor in a village which
is not Incorporated and which is not
within the limits of an organized town
ship. That point is at present before
the supreme court in a case from Ly-
man county, and the contention of At
torney General Clark in the Lyman
county case is that on which he takes
his position in the Walworth county
case.
II the supreme court sustains Mr..
Clark's contention, then the state has
a prohibitory law, with a local option
provision allowing the sale of liquor
in case the people of the township,
town or city vote for license each
year, the effect of a vote not going for
a longer period than a year, that point
having been. settled by the supreme
court in a cas- which cam up from
Kingsbury county.

WRITES ESSAYS FOR GRADUATES
Syndicate That Seeks TO Corrupt Pu.
piIs lis Warned,

An efrectual auietus, so far as Aber-
deem is concerned. has been put upon
the operations of "A syndicate. with
headquarters at Washington, ID. c.,
which in a circular letter expresses
itself as being solicitous Of the well
fare OF prospective graduates OF the
high school. 1t desires. a Y the cir
cular, to spare the young men and
women the shame and humiliation
of reading poor graduation essays and
offers to write fine essays for a con
sideration, of course.
Prof. X. l.. Kirke. superintendent
of schools, was handed a letter from
the syndicate, written to the presi-
lei of the senior class at the high
school. The professor. enlisting the
aid of a prominent business man, pre-
tending to be a student about to grad
uate.
The reply of the syndicate came
yesterday. 1t stated that it has a
corps OF special writer's, and is fully
equipped to handle any and all sub
jects. A range of twelve subjects is
will be furnished by the syndicate
for the modest sum of $40. Among
the subjects offered for selection are
Work" Theodore Roosevelt" In
dividuality," Political Duty" "The
Japanese Soldier and "Indecision."
The subtle irony of some of the
subjects tended to intensity the wrath
of the superintendent and he sat him
self down and wrote a singing letter
of rebuke to renew their attempts to
corrupt the undergraduates of the Alb
erdeen high school. The pupils also
were warned 10 have no dealings
with the syndicate under penalty of
immediate dismissal from school.

The road is first thoroughly cleaned

One of the athletic missionaries who
is working in the country west of the

against a Ralph Conner incident a few
days ago.
The preacher was riding on his cir
cult near Hays. and met two drunken
'cow-punchers." They insisted on his
drinking with them, and on his refusal
they decided to use force.
The minister dismounted from his
horse and as the first approached him
he caught him with a Battling Nelson
hook and the cowboy was temporarily
out. The second one, with the bottle.
clinched the parson, and went down,
losing the liquor flask which was con-
fiscated.
BY that time the first had sufficient

The parson was allowed to leave the
battlefield without any further effort
to detain him, the "punchers" evident

souri river in which lands are located.
Up 20 the present the commission in
Offering these lands has been held
down by the law to a strict minimum
price of $40 an acre, and cash sales.
The law of last winter gave them far
more latitude in the disposal of such
lands, allowing a minimum to be
fixed at whatever the appraisal board
considered the land would bring, and
allowing the taking of mortgages for a
part of the purchase price, and author
izing the disposal of these securities
on the market.
While the appraisal board has not
yet fixed the minimum on the lands
to be offered, such action will be taken
whiting a short time, and when com
pleted. circulars giving descriptions
of the tracts to be offered and the
price. will be sent out.
The sales dates fixed are in the diff

the time Of the second payment in De-
cember and the execution of the mort
gage The mortgage will contain a
provision allowing the payment On the
principal of 500 or any multiple of
the same at the date of any interest
payment, after the second year, which
will allow the purchaser to make pay
ments before the end of the f~ive-year

GET GOOD PAY; WOO DAUGHTERS
Farmers Ad for Hands Already Has
Had Results.

Daniel Kindred, a prosperous fariier
who has a valuable farm on the Mis-
souri, river forty miles west OF Pierre,
and who advertised that farm hands
doing satisfactory work for him. in
addition TO good pay, would be given a
chance to win the hand and heart or
any IL Of his four daughters. now Is
renewing his promise, but with the
number of daughters reduced to two.
The other two girls have made their
choice from among the hands who re-
piled to the first advertisement and
their weddings will o on take place.
The first man to win one of the
Kindred girls came from the East,
where he had graduated from an agri-
cultural college. Before he was at
work on the Kindred farm three weeks
he had installed an irrigation ditch
and a stone inclosed fish pond, which
had been stocked with BASS and pick
erel. Then he piped the water from an
artesian wei. into the house and in
duced Kindred to put in a porcelain
bath tub. In addition to this the East
especially pleased kindred by
curing a disease from which some OF
his cattle were suffering.
When the farmer suggested to this
bright young man that he would like
to nave him as a permanent helper In
the shape of a son-in-law he was in
formed that the young man already
had made his choice and that Miss
Daisy Kindred, the youngest of the
four daughters, had promised to marry
him.
Early in January another young man
was hired at the Kindred farm. He
was o a college graduate, but he
showed decided mechanical ability.
He installed a small motor at he ar
tesian we'll, put in an electric genera
tor and supplied crruent to light the
farm house, run the churn, sewing
machine and washing machine. Miss
Nora Kindred, who presided over the
dairy, fell a victim to the genius or
this young fellow, and she, too, is now
on the list of those taken"
The Kindred girls remaining are

them will have to make good"

Meant for Grave Conditions; Used for
Trivia Acts,

One OF the questions which IL agi-
tating the minds Of those who are in
doubt as TO the meaning OF the legal
phrases is what is the real ate of an
emergency" bill which the governor
allows to become a law without his
approval, when it was stated on the
face Of h law itself that ii shall so
into effect upon its passage and ap-
prevail"
n last Legislative session passed
more emergency laws than has any
session of the past years, and a pro
vision of the constitution which was
intended at the time it was adopted to
be used to meet grave conditions has
been led by usage to apply to laws
trivial In their nature, so far as the
veal of the state is concerned, al
though they may be important to some
particular Individual.
One of the latter class was a law
which provided three years as the
limit Of beginning the Quasi-criminal
suit, the time to date from the time of
SIV ohCIcC III IL Is luIlIitI cItdCltu
that this act shall apply to all such Of
lenses and crimes which have hereto
fore taken place, and to all pending
proceedings in any of the courts of
this state" This went into effect at
the time of it's approval on March 4.
The first application of the provis-
ions Of this new law comes from S. II.
Wright of Oenterville, against whom
there is pending in the supreme court
a disbarment procedure. Wright as d
practicing attorney at Chamberlain
was charged with embezzlement of
sums of money collected for clients.
On one of the charges he was tried
and convicted and given a sentence of
n year in the penitentiary. He
served the sentence after the supreme
court had sustained the decision OF
the lower court. About the same time
disbarment proceedings were brought
against Wright and are now pending
in h supreme court. Under the new
law, which was pushed through by Rep
resentative Price of Yankton, Wright
asks that the proceedings for disbar-
ment now pending in the supreme
court be dismissed, as the offense on
which the proceedings are based vas
committed more than three years ago.
The same contention could be APP
piled to the disbarment proceedings
which have been brought against S. 4.
Ramsey of W~oonsocket in Ease the
new law is sustained by the supreme
court.

There is a general impression that
Miss FremStad is an American, blu ac-
cording to her W statement this is
birth, and was already quite a young
girl when she came to this country.
She lived for some years in Minneapo-
lis and Duluth, where she taught
music. No one can realize the hard
ships of those early days Of her musl-
cal career. Absolutely dauntless. buff
feting weather of all sorts, she went
from one pupil to the other, and for a
pittance.
Within her was burning the love
for music, and n might almost say
she knew the pangs of hunger. Her
struggles to gain a musical education
were continued in Chicago and New
York, where she continued her teach
Ing. Later she went abroad.
Won by Suffering.
Miss Fremstad, speaking upon the
subject Of study, said: Il hope that
no one who wants to become an artist
will have to do it by dint Of suffering
such as was mine, and yet cannot see
how the great goal can be won without
great suffering. Success does not de-
pend any more upon instruction and
natural equipments than it does upon
ones power Of endurance. To achieve
the goal one must be able to cast aside
every tie, home and family, to over
come every obstacle and to face any
and every hardship and remember
nothing else but study. Many nave

FORECAST OF CROPS.
South Dakota Promises a Big Yield Of
Grain.

SF9lN.
W. II. Smith of Huron. auditor of
the Van DuSen Elevator company, has
returned from a trip over that portion
of the state and has this to say con
corning the spring work and seeding
outlook: "PlOwing and narrowing is
being done and some wheat sown, but
the ground is too wet for general work.
There is yet to be marketed about 90
per cent of the wheat and corn of last
season and less than II per cen of
oats, barley and flax. The acreage to
be sown to wheat the present season
will be about the same as last year
with a probable increase of oats, flax
and corn of about 10 per cent and the
flax acreage will likely be increased
about 20 per cent. South Dakota's
crop for 1906 was the largest ever
raised in the state; with ample mois-
ture, favorable spring weather, with
lake beds, ravines and small streams
full of water an increased acreage to
small grain is anticipated; in any
event the acreage will be equal to that
of last season. AS indicating last

almost wonder, however, whether she
ever aspired or hoped for the heights
she has since reached.
Operate Debut.
Her operate debut was made at
Vienna in the role of Brangaene to
Lehmann's Isolde. Miss Fremstad
was not only a favorite of Frau Wag-
ner, but she also enjoyed the study OF
Wagnerian roles under her direction,
and whereas she has sung lighter
opera, her pre-eminent have
been in the roles OF the great master
of Bayreuth.
Miss Fremstad also appeared in
"Rheingold," in "Gotterdammerung''
and as one of the flower girls in Par
sifal." Her luscious voice and consum-
mate grace in these plastic parts stood
out forcibly in the productions.
Rival Of calve.
After her appearances in Bayreuth
she went to Cologne and sang many
roles in the lighter operas, as also the
parts of Waltraute and Carmen. in
which she made a furore which in Ger
many rivaled Calves. After this. Of
fers came from all the opera houses in
Europe, but Munich captured her. She
played Brangaene, Ffdes, Carmen,
Haensel, and other contraito roles, and
after her farewell performance of
Carmen the students embarrassed the
horses from her carriage, and hanging
it with laurel wreaths, drew her
through the streets. After this came
her in London, and the story
of her triumphs in America is too well
known TO need rehearsing.
