COMING TO MITCHELL
Mitchell is an Unknown Quantity to
the Sioux Falls Aggregation
This Season.

Sioux Fails Argus-L Leader: The
Sioux tails high school football team
will journey to Mitchell on Saturday
OF this week for the purpose of meet
ing their old time antagonists. the
high school team OF that city. Little
is known here OF the ability Of this
years Mitchell team. So far 1t has
not been called upon to show Its
mettle. There are a number of
individual PLAYERS OH the Mitchell
team whose ability Is we'll known
and If the new members are any
where near as good as the old ones
the Sioux Falls boys will have q
tough job on their hands. But after
locals held Sioux City a week ago.
they are confident of being ::able to
care for the Mitchell boys. If q
suitable rate can be secured about
lone hundred rooters from the local
school will accompany the team to
Mitchell.
The Argus-Leader refers to tho
game that Sioux Falls will have
with Aberdeen Nov. 8, to be played
at Huron, as the really big game Of
the season between the two really
big teams of the state. Which is all
very we'll from a Sioux Falls stand
point, but when the queen city lads
come over to Mitchell Saturday Il
will be the aim and endeavor to
show Sioux Falls that she is not one
of the really big teams of the state,
for Mitchell is going to win that
game, and the boys are putting in
every spare hour of determined hard
work to demonstrate their ability.

MUST LIVE OVER A YEAR
1T Takes a Continuous Residence o
Fourteen Months on Land to
be Abs to Prove up.

Considerable surprise is manifested
by parties around here who have filed
on reservation land over the
ruling Of the commissioner of the
general land office at Washington,
just received by tue register and
receiver OF the local U. S. land office,
regarding Communication proofs. Its
enforcement means the cessation,
according to local officials, OF practi-
cally all absence from the land taken
up until fourteen consecutive months
have been spent in aGtural residence
aud constant cultivation. This will
affect macy settlers who in the past
have betn permitted to continue
their studies at schools during Ger
tain periods in the year. providing
they finally completed the fourteen
mouths period of residence. and still
Others who have bern permitted
absence for ii time owing to Illness.
The ley ruling goes into effect on
November j and calls for the re-
lection of all Communication proofs
unless the full fourteen months is
shown, except in the case of six
months consecutive residence per-
mitted on entries made prior to
! November l.

THERE'S NO Ute TROUBLE
Evidently a Wrong Idea Prevalent
on the Alleged Depredat,ons
of Ute indians.

Deadwood Pnioeer-Times: Capt.
Bryan at Fort Meade stated last
night that he had received no
official notification of any outbreak
of the Ute indians who were camped
below the fort last winter and In
June were moved to a tract of land
offered them on the Cheyenne
reservation. The captain further
stated that there had been no order
Issued from Washington or elsewhere
directing the Fort Meade troops to
hold themselves In readiness to move
to the scene of the alleged distur-
Dances and that the only knowledge
he had Of the affair was from tele-
graph stuff that had appeared In
eastern papers.
1t is the opinion Of Capt. Bryan
and others who are familiar with
the character and personnel Of the
Ute Indian band In question, that
the story Of any depreciation having
been committed eby them is highly
improbable. The tribe was CON-
posed for the most part Of women
and children and old and decrepit
men. There we're a number of young
braves in the outfit but ever they
we're of the good Indian variety and
showed none Of the traits Of a sullen
or unruly disposition while at Fort
Meade.
Capt. Bryan believes that II there
is any truth IN the story of move.
ment on the part of the Indians, 1t
is simply In line with their intention
to return to Fort Meade where they
had an easy time during their So
journ there. They left the Utah
reservation because they we're dis
satisfied with conditions and we're
obliged to exc out an existence by
hard labor from a soil that was not
too fertile. At Fort Meade, they
we're clothed and fed without the
slightest exertion on their part, and
they may be on their way back for
the purpose Of inducing the govern
men; to allow them to enjoy their
former camp. Their tract Of land
on the Cheyenne reservation is fifty
miles from Evarts, S. D., and II
troops were needed to keep them
from moving they would in al
probability be ordered from Fort
Robinson.

TO the CORN SHOW
Surrounding Counties are Showing On
Interest in the State Corn
SHOW at Mitchell.

Many Of the surrounding counties
have commenced to exhibit consider
able interest In the coming State
Corn Show, which will be held in
this city during the winter, perhaps
a short time before the holidays.
The corn show Of last year was q
fine success In that the lectures
which were given by corn experts
have the corngrowers of the state cOn-
siderable important information on
lines that have not been generally
followed In corn culture. The exhibit
of corn vas good, but it is conceded
that 1t will be better this year. for
corn will be shown this year that
was grown on the principles that
we're enunciated from the platform.
Another reason for the corn grower
OF this state to be enthusiastic is the
fact that at the corn exposition in
| Chicago this fall, South Dakota over
topped Wisconsin and Minnesota In
the sweepstakes prize. Where the
county commissioners are not taking
interest 10 the corn show to make an
Appropriation for an exhibit, the real
estate men have formed for the pur.
pose of seeing that an exhinit is
represented at the show. While the
talent has not as yet been selected
for the platform discussions, some
of the most noted rorn culturists
will be heard here. A. j. Wimple,
the prize corn grover of the state,
will have a sample Of his prize corn
at the exhibition.

Letter to Mrs. Guthul.
NEKOOsA, Wis.

Dear Madam: Now, maybe, you
can't get the goods; if you can, your
fortune is made.
Cotton clOth-they call it muslin in
some partS-at about the usual price
per yard, but WIDER. twice as wide rs
some, and better, keeps white al d
whole a surprising time in all sorts or
wear.
You can sell that cloth for hundreds
of miles; there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further, one buys less
yards. Wears longer, one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till well
WORKOUT. No one customer buys so
much of if. but think of the number
of customers.
Maybe you can't get it in cloth: but
you can in paint: DevOe. Devoe is
as if it were wider; a gallon goes
further: you buy less gallons: you pay
for less gallonS---aS if one paid less for
making garment of that wide cloth
land it keeps its fresh look and sheds
water till you have forgotten how old
it is.
1t isn't true in cloth, but it is in
paint: the less you pay, the better it
is; for the goodness of paint is reckon
ed by gallons, more goodness. The
stronger paint, the less gallons it
takes for job and the longer it wears.
Yours truly
