Running newspaper is just like run
ming hotel, only different. When a
man goes into hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with thu
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish
to one side, and wades into the many
dishes that suit him. 1t is different
with some newspaper readers. They
lind an article occasionally that does
not suit them exactly, and without
stopping to think that it may please
hundreds of other readers, make a
grant stand play and tell the editor
how paper should be run, and what
should be put in it. But such people
are becoming fewer every year.-yer.

The railroads are acting very foolish
not to sell tickets and check baggage
over connecting lines in Georgia from
one Georgia city to another, as they
formerly did before the commission re-

makes the travelling public angry and
creates an unfriendly feeling against

NOT GUILTY
Russell and Son Accused Of Lar.
ceny of Horses Go Free.

The drawing attraction. in
the circuit court this week
before Judge McGee was
the rehearsal and. retrial Of
Frank r. and Arthur Russell
charged with the larceny of a
bunch of horses, as associates
and accessories of one Fred
johnson Ia Swede) who is now
doing a short term in the pen
for the larceny of the same
string of steeds. The story of
the preliminary trial was some
weeks ago in the Union as 1t
occurred before Justice Scriber,
who saw fit to refer the case to
the higher court. While it was
shown in the evidence that the
Russells were quite familiar
with the horses belonging in
the Bruner pasture, and had
something to do with the es
cape of Mr.. johnson with the
outfit ofhorses and saddles until
they were overhauled and appre-
hended at Chadron, Nebraska,
the jury opined that Russell
and son were not guilty of any
crime under the statutes. While
they appeared to be accessories
of Mr.. johnson, in the running
off Of the horses, and which
the state made a strong attempt
to show, it was not clear to the
jury that the evidence was pos
tive or beyond a reasonable
doubt. The jury, therefore,
after two hours deliberation,
rendered a verdict Of "not
guilty" and the Russells are
free.
Chauncey Wood appeared
for the state, Frank Bangs fol

done and is doing fore the
hitherto savage and untamed
red man.
It is proposed to make the
days, as usual, essentially Wild
West days, in all that goes to
make an event that will bring
JOY to the hearts Of the tender
foot cowman, and that will also
stir the slow blood Of the old
time rancher. There will be
something doing all day, all
night and all the time and
something to 60 to every place.
The list of attractions will be
made public later, and a hot
time in this old'town is sure to
come off.
The hotel Accommodations in
Rapid City we're never so good
as they are this year, Fifteen
hundred people can be given
first class accommodations at the
different hotels, and as many
more can find accommodations in
boarding houses, so that the
city is well prepared to take
care Of the biggest crowd that
it ever had. It's citizens are
pardonable proud Of their de-
sire to work together, hand in
hand, to make this the greatest
meeting in the history of the
stock association, for they feel
that this Is the first great big
event of the year that has to do
with making a Greater Rapid
City.

she was supposed to have upon
her person.
A colored man positively
asserts that Mrs. Alexander
surely had $500 hid about her
clothing.
An examination of the body
by the coroner after death
failed to find anything OF value,
therefore it appears tnat there
is $500 missing,, or whatever
Aunt Annie had il her roll.
The case, altogether, would
seem to call the attention of
the police department. to and up
against the ferreting out of how
this poor old colored woman
came to her death. 1t is up to
the city police just at this time
to learn whether this woman
came to her death by fair or
foul means, and if by the lat
ter who got the money!
If there are ''fences' in this
town or "dope joints" it is up
to the police department. to get
next. 1t is not within the
province of the UNION at this
time to speak from authority.but
it seems at this time that a thor
ough investigation is due in the
MATTER and manner Of the
death of Anna Alexander.

TH[ Dist IN 1[AR]
ANNUAL sToCK-MEET1NG TO
BE APRIL, 8, 9 AND 10
GREATEST IN the clrY's HISTORY
Many Indians to be Present, And
Also a Large Number OF
Sightseers

The Union has had inquiries
for the past week from nearly
all the stock centers within a
radius Of an hundred and Fifty
miles as to the dates and other
matters anent the annual stock
meeting to be held in this city
in April. In the first place, the
date is always fixed for the
second week in April, and that
begins this year on the 9Th, and
continues to the 11th,' three
days. This meeting promises
to be the greatest stockmens
celebration held in the city OF
Rapid City for more than a
quarter Of a century. There
are reasons for this. In the
first place it is the most impor-
tant meeting that the assocla-
has had for years, for the rea-
son that at this meeting will be
born a new era in the stock
and range business. New
methods will be discussed
which will be Of interest to
both the old ranchman and the
new homesteader. There will
be representatives here Of all
these interests from nearly
eyery section Of the central
west, and the east will also be
we'll represented. There will
be men at this meeting who
will represent capital for invest
ment who will be here to inves-
tlgate the advertised resources
Of Rapid City, with a view OF
investments, perhaps in it's
real estate, and with also a
view of starting factories of
which many kinds will be
= n
wanted ere another meeting of
this kind shall have come again
and it will be up to the Com
mercial Club to see to it that
the meeting Of the stockmen in
Rapid City this year, shall sur
pass and overshadow any for
mer meeting within its history.
The attractions that are prom
ised are, as usual, better than
ever before, and altogether will
make up a program the most
attractive in the history Of these
( meetings.
Chief Kill-a-Hundred, son Of
Red Dog Of the Ogallalla's, who
was in the city this week,
promises to be here with three
hundred of the braves from the
Cheyenne, Ogallalla and Slou,
tribes to participate in the fete
day Of the tournament. Stock
meeting day has also been sci
apart and looked forward to by
the Indians as an outing day
OF q sort of commencement day

BARBER SUCCEEDS HIMSELF
Getting Ready for Free Delivery
System.

Postmaster Barber was in re-
ceipt of a wire from Washing
ton this week conveying to him
the intelligence that the United
States had confirmed his nomi-
nation as postmaster of Rapid
City. Mr.. Barber is somewhat
proud, and pardonably so, Of
his reappointment as postmaster
of the city for the third term.
His appointment, however,
came as an Endorsement of
practically the entire city, and
necessarily so, also Of the Da-
kota delegation in the national
congress. While there has
been political differences and
factional fights in other parts
of the state which have resulted
in disappointment as to the ap-
pointments Of postmasters, in
many Of the larger cities, Mr..
Barber, by reason of his popu-
larity aud together with the ex-
cellent service that he has rem
dered the public here, has had
a home endorsement that had
to be given serious and prompt
consideration. His splendid
service to the department was
also given due consideration,
no doubt, for he has been
abreast Of the growth of the
town and has kept the increas.
ing needs promptly before the
department., SO that there
has practically been no hitct
in supplying the increased de
mand of the public Post

DIVORCE BILL PASSES SENATE

PIERRE, S. D., March S.
Stokes today secured the pas
sage in the house of his bill to
appropriate the balance Of the
state endowment lands to the
support Of experiment farms
which have been or are to be
located by the state. His bill to
secure such a farm for Butte
county, and another for Stanlet
county has already passed the
house and gone to the senate.
The bill, to divide Lyman
county, after a favorable vote.
had been secured upon the
question, passed the senate to-
day, but not until Perkins had
secured the striking out Of the
repeal clause for fear that Il
would affect the Stokes general
county division bill which IS
well along on its way to become
a law!
The partition fence bill caused
q division of sentiment among
the members east Of the river
today, but the Black Hills
members said that it would not
make any difference in that part
of the state and allowed the
eastern contingent to fight Il
out for themselves, resulting in
the failure of the bill, but it is
up for reconsideration tomor-
row.
The appointment bill which
was finally accepted by the
house out Of a list which was
before them, cuts the represent
alton Of Pennington county
from two to one. Hare attempt
ed to change this and restore
the two members to that
county, but the house refused
to allow any changes, and the
bill went through inthat shape.
The senate passed the divorce
bill today with Dudly fighting
it to the last. Before it went
through it was amended to al
low the beginning of divorce
suits within six months where
the cause for divorce occurs
within the state. This may
open big hole in the bill but
that remains to be seen by the
workings Of the measure.
The senate passed the house
bill fixing the manner of dis
tribution offunds received from
the forest reserve, and it only
requires the signature of the
governor to make it law, after.

FREE TIMBER

fRtt IlMBtR
More Timber to be Taken From
The Reserves.
The government during the
past year has furnished $75, ,OOC
worth of timber to settlers and
[ranchers in or near the reserves
without charge. One of the
regulations of the forest service
provides that legitimate appi-
cants may secure what timber
they need by what is conviently
called the "free use'' privilege.
Fifteen thousand permittees in
this way obtained timber to
supply their wants.
From these figures it may
readily be seen that the settlers
are securing very material as
sistance without, cost from the
forest reserves. At the same
time, the free.use business has
been so handled that the
material taken out has i'm
proved the condition Of the
forest. Dead timber which
would otherwise have rotted or
helped to spread forest fi1es has
been removed first of all. Where
it was necessary for the settlers
to have green wood the rangers,
so far as possible, marked trees
which were suppressed, diseased
or from some other cause no
longer in a condition for fur
ther growth, in this way the
ranches secured material which
they desired, and at the same
time the forest was left stocked
with the thriftiest trees, whose
clance to develop will be un-
hindered.
The greatest amount Of free
use was on those reserves which
lie in the semi-arid parts of the
West, where there is least tim
Der. On a number of reserves
the value of material for which
permits were issued exceeded
So, 900, and on the Wenaha
Reserve in Washington and Ore
gon, the Bear River Reserve in
Utah and Idaho, and the Wei
ser and Henrys Lake reserves
in Idaho it exceeds 81, 900. If
there had been no restriction
on the settlers in securing this
material, great waste would
have resulted, because the set
tiers would have paid no atten-
tion to tho future good of the
forest or its value as a protect
i've covering. Another distinct
advantage Of the system is that
a settler, when he has secured
his permit, is sure of being able
to get the material from the To-
cality assigned to him without
interference from other people.
Very little change in the
handling of the free-use busi.
mess is contemplated for the
next year. The experience o1
the past year has shown, how.
ever, that methods can be sys-
tematized so as to give yet bet.
ter service to the people and be
more economical to the Forest
Service.
This branch of the work Of
the Forest Service gives good
evidence of the Fact that the
aim in tho administration o,
forest reserves is to aid in the
permanent development of thu
country and place only such re
strictions on the cutting of tim
Der as are necessary for tn,
maintenance of a permanen
timber supply and the conser
walton of water needed for lrri
CATION, for cities, and for tn
generation Of power. The fre
use privilege has been granite,
freely to ranchers who ar
} building up homes, and enougl
timber will be reserved to SUP
ply their wants even if this wi
considerably reduce the amour
of timber that can be sold,
