A BOLD ROBBERY
Farmer Held Up in Public Road and
 Relieved of $75O

Siloam Springs, Oct 21.-A bold robbery was perpetrated Saturday morning two and half miles south of here, whereby T. M. Meigs was re- lieved of $750 in cash.
 Mr. Meigs received letter yester- day purporting to be from his son at Sommers, saying that if he would come down there with S750 he could clear up a couple of hundred dollars in an ap- pie deal. The letter was delivered by two men, who said they were from Sommers.
 MT. Meigs came to town and procur- ed $750 from one of the banks. Then he started for the appointed place. When mile and half from home he was suddenly confronted in the road by the same two fellows who had de- livered the message. At the point of guns Mir. Meigs was compelled to turn over the money. The robbers then took to the woods, after warning Mr. Meigs to return home.
 Neighbors and the officers were at once notified and an all-day search was instituted, but up to a late hour tonight no trace of the robbers had been secured and it is feared they sue ceeded in escaping entirely.

STATESMEN AT PIERRE
FILLED WITH REFORM IDEAS
FOR STATESCHOOL
IN HAND COUNTY
Senator McCullen Has a Bill for
That Purpose

Pierre, Jan. 14.-Hand county
wants state school of irrigation and
experiment, and Senator McCullen
of that county has started the move
to that effect. He desires to secure
an endowment from the twenty
thousand acres of unallotted endow-
ment land held by the state. Anum-
ber of efforts have been made in the
past to secure this for some of the
established institutions of the state
but is yet remains open for some
institution, and Hand county thinks
it would be a good thing in their
midst"
While the democrats have not yet
decided on the man they will cast
their votes for in the senatorial elec-
ton, they are considering the giving
of their complimentary votes to
Governor Crawfrod. While they
have not definitely decided on this
that is their plan at present.

This Farm Not for Sale

In sending in an advertisement to
the Argus-Leader for seed wheat, G.
H. Carroll of Miller drops the editor
a personal note about the big farm
which he is operating in Hand coun-
ty. Last year Mr. Carroll raised
$4,000 bushels of corn from $50
acres. He raised 1000 bushels of
wheat. In September he sold 80
steers at the farm for $4,000 and he
has 100 steers left in the feed lot
with 200 hogs. The year before Mr..
Carroll raised 10000 bushels of
wheat, 1000 bushels of corn, sold
200 steers for $1,000 at the farm and
except in harvest time did all the
work with three men. This farm
is not for SALE writes Mr. Carroll.
The farm is five miles southwest If

Congressman G. II. Burke

The Washington Times prints a
fine picture of Charles H. Burke,
congressman from South Dakota,
who will retire on the 4th of next
March. Among other comments,
the Times says:
Charles H. Burke, one of the two
republican congressman from South
Dakota, is winding up a congressional
career, which has been of eminent
service to his state. He has served
ten years, and might have served
longer.
Burke has been a popular and
progressive congressman, and there
was no personal objection to him.
He was victim of a good political
trait, that of standing by his friends,
and he is a philosopher, who knows
how to take medicine. even when il
is bitter. He is young enough to be
patient and await the turn OF the
tide, when he may come back as sen.
ator.
He is a business man, who only
went into politics to make sure that
his town of Pierre was made the cap
ital of the new state. To do this he
became state senator, and natural
ly drifted deeper into politics, finally
coming to Washington. He will re
turn to South Dakota when his tern
ends, and the fact that he is sayinl
little is taken to mean he will d.
much when it comes to anothe
scrap"

NEW RAILROAD
FROM SIOUX FALLS
South Dakota Central to Tap the
Interior

The Queen City of South Dakota
and the states largest wholesaling
point, has been handicapped for
years by insufficient railroad connec-
tions with the territory north and
west of her. Starting with the best
location and most natural advantages
yet this one defect has continually
operated against her. AS a result
other towns and cities are being
built up around Sioux Falls and
limiting her territory.
With these facts patent to all, it
is wonder that her enterprising
business men had not long ago con-
centrated their energies upon a rail-
road tapping the inteior of the
state.
1t is now believed that this effort
is to be finally made by the Dakota
Central Railway, with Sioux Falls as
ihs base. Parties in a position to
know say that the Illinois Central
has finally taken hold of the Dakota
Central and will extend that line
north to Aberdeen, and perhaps push
two lines west to the Missouri river.
Ccrroboration of this comes in a
special from Pierre under date of
Jan. Is, which says:
The resolution of extension which
has recently been filed by the South
Dakota Central Railway company
provides for covering a large part
of the state east of the river. One
extension is from Rutland the pre-
sent terminus to Brookings; one
from Rutland to Watertown; another
from Watertown to Aberdeen; the
Missouri river extensions proposed
are from a point on the north line
of Minnehaha county to the river
near Crow Creek; another from a
point on the north line of Lake coun-
ty in a north westerly direction to
the river; and a third from near
Watertown to the river.

TO INVESTIGATE
ALL HANDS AROUND
Each Side Eager to be
Investigated"
Senator CANDLES Friends Say
AT Proper Time"

Pierre, Jan. 14.-The talk of Sen
ator CANDLES boy drawing govern
ment money while not earning it.,
has so far resulted in nothing but
'hot air.. The Senator and his
friends caught the legislative caucus
in the good old way, and he was en-
dorsed, and his friends take the po-
sition that while they are willing
that legislative investigation of the
whole congressional delegation be
held, they do not propose to allow it
to interfere in any way with the elec-
ton of Senator Gamble on the 22nd.
Senator Dillon, to whom the chal-
lenge of Senator Kittridge and Con-
gresham Burke and Martin was
sent makes the following statement:
'The insurgent leaders, as under
stand it, will, at the proper time, in
trsduce resolution to investigate
the official acts of the congressional
delegation, both senators and con-
gressmen, and state officials.
Governor Crawford said: 1t is
horse play for newspaper contro-
versy and no attention should pe paid
to it. The legislature can take care
of this matter for themselves and
will no doubt at the proper time
make provisions for full investiga,
ton"
Senator Cook, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, says:
1t is a grand stand play, and they
will no doubt be accommodated at
the proper time with an investiga-
ton"
Senator Whsle of Pennington
county says:
II consider that the caucus settled
the matter so far as the republican
members of the legislature are con.
cerned."
The democratic leaders say that
they will not ask for an investiga
ton, but that if demand for such
action comes from the republican
side they will support it.

REFORM LAWS
GET RIGHT OFWAY
Primary Election Bill and Two
Cent Railroad Fare Bill

Pierre. Senator Byrne of Faulk
county, who, after Senator Cook, is
regarded as the administration lead
er, today introduced in the senate
some of the most important Of the
administration measures. They are
a primary election bill, an anti-pass
measure, and a bill providing for
reciprocal demurrage, 2 cent fare
bill, etc.
New Primary Bill
The primary election bill was draft
ed by Governor Crawford and it pro-
vides for the choice OF. party dele
gates at the primaries. 1t also pro-
vides that if any candidate receives
80 per cent of the entire party vote
he is nominated, otherwise the con-
vention will make nominations from
the primary candidates. The bill
goes into elaborate details and en-
braces all public officers.
Anti-Pass Measure
The anti-pass measure was draft
ed by Senator Byrne and is much
more specific than the national bill
1t provides that passes shall not be
given to anyone except railway en-
ployes and their families, regular
pastors of established churches, care
takers of live stock, soldiers enroute
to and from soldiers home, and per-
sons injured by railroad accidents
and their attendants. The measure
extends to railroads, telegraph, tele-
phone and express companies. News
papers are not mentioned. Excur-
sion rates will be permitted on the
ground of public benefit.
VIII Keep Cars Moving
The reciprocal demurrage bill pro-
poses to fine railroads one dollar per
day per car for failure to furnish
cars within a period of seventy-two
hours. and a similar fine IS to be i'm
posed on shippers for failure, to load
within forty-eight hours after a car
has been delivered. The same fine
is proposed for failure to move cars
within twenty-four hours after being
loaded or to forword them at the
rate of at least so miles per day,
Failure to spot cars for unloading
and to unload within limited period
is also subject to fine.
Flow to Lobbyists
Another measure introduced today
is known as the anti-lobby bill. 1t is
designed to prohibit anyone in the
interest of any corporation or COM
pany to attempt to influence the act
ions of members relating to organiz-
ations or legislation except by ap-
pearing before the proper commit
tees, or by public prints or speeches.
There is no registration feature.
