FAMOUS
RUSSIAN, SPEAKS
TO SOUTH DAKOTA
Thrifty New Town Is Named for
Him; Cummins and Crawford
Are Recognized.

Tolstoy, S. D., Sept. 3.-Count Leo
Tolstoy, the Russian 'John the Bap-
,tist," has at last recognized the fact
this thrifty town has been named
for him. Yesterday citizens Of Toll
istoy, through the Dakota Town Lot
company, received a letter from the IL
'lustrious Russian in which he trans
imits his appreciation of the compli-
ment. and wishes the inhabitants of
this town may acquire what is due to
them in the worlds riches, which
may be construed as a compromise
between his passive resistance and
voluntary poverty. He urges the peo-
pie to be receptive to the new ideas
and tell what they hin and make
other people think. He recites how he,
left a life of ease and luxury to year
the rough garb of the peasantry. to
cobble shoes, to repair stoves and to
walk behind the pillow, but make 40
reference to reports of sillSen garments
beneath his homespun, and kid-gloved
servant carving porterhouse steak at
his table.
Many of the inhabitants of the
country surrounding the new Mime
apolis and st. Louis town are Ger
man. and Roosevelt families predomin-
ate. The town is in the best portion
of the famous Blue Blanke valley.
The surrounding country is about two
thirds settled and is filling up rapid
ly. The building of the new road this
yea makes Potter county and the
country about Tolstoy the central por-
ton of activity for land seekers, set
tiers and farmers looking for new
homes.
Tolstoy is in the artesian basin and
heretofore was twenty-three miles
from a railroad. The streets are named
for prominent men, among whom are
Governors Crawford and Cummins.
Rev. G. G. Walker, an evangelist, has
taken up his residence here and pub
fishes the Tolstoy Leader, a thoroughly
alive weekly newspaper. The town has
four elevators, n flour mill, a cream
cry, bank, stores, hotels and restau-
rants.
