Sluaned hY "sky Pilot

One of the athletic missionaries who
is working in the country west of the
river is reported to have been up
against a Ralph Connor 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.
ly returned to life to attempt to get his
~six-shooter into play, but it was kicked
out of his hand.
The parson was allowed to leave the
battlefield without any further effort
to detain him, the "punchers" evident
ly knowing when they had enough OF
muscular Christianity.

WRITES ESSAYS FOR GRADUATES
Syndicate That Seeks to Corrupt Pu-
pills Is Warned,

An effectual quietus. so far as Aber-
deem is concerned, has been put upon
the operations of a syndicate. with
headquarters at Washington, d. 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. r. l.. Kirke, superintendent
of schools, was handed a letter from
the syndicate, written to the presi-
mt of he senior class at the high
nool. The professor, enlistins the
aid of a prominent business man. pre-
tending to be a student about to grad

corps of special writer's, and is fully
equipped to handle any and all sub
jects. A range of twelve subjects is
offered, an essay on either of which
will be furnished by the syndicate
for the modest sum of $40. Among
the subjects offered for selection are

The subtle irony of some of the
subjects tended to intensity the wrath

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

Daniel Kindred, a prosperous farmer
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 OF
any one 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 soon lake place.
The first man to win n of the
Kindred girls came from the East,
where he had graduated from an agri
cultural college. Before he was Ill
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 we'll into the house and in
duced Kindred to put in a porcelain
bath tub In addition to this the East
erner especially pleased Kindred by
curing a disease from which some OF
his cattle We're suffering.
When the farmer suggested to this
! bright young man that he wouid like
to have 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 not a college graduate, but he
showed decided mechanical ability.
He installed a small motor at the 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 OF
this young fellow, and she, too, is now
on the list of those taken"
The Kindred girls remaining are
good looking, rosy checked and buXom,
and the hired man that secures one of
them will nave to make good"

MUST VOTE TO GET "wE7..
Attorney General Says Only Local Ac
ton Nav Permit Saloons.

1Sl' iWcJ CIItIil odlOOlS.
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.
If 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 thar a year, that point
having been settled by the supreme
court in a case which came up from
Kingsbury county.

EMERGENCY LAW is ABUSED.
Meant for Grave Conditions; Used for
Trivial Acts.

One of the questions which is agi-
tat1ng the minds of those who are in
u as to the meaning of the legal
phrases is what is the real fate of an
emergency" bill which the governor
allows to become a law without his
approval, when it was stated on the
race OF the law itself that it shall 90
INTO effect upon its passage and APP
prevail"
The last legislative session passed
more emergency laws thar has any
session OF the past years, and a pro-
vision OF the constitution which was
intended at the time it was adopted TO
ne used TO meet grave conditions has
heen 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
the offense; and it is further enacted
that this act shall apply to all such Of
lenses and crimes which have hereto
tore taken place, and to all pending
proceedings in any of the courts of
this state" This went into effect at
the time of its approval on March 4.
The first application of the provis-
ions of this new law comes from S. HI.
Wright of Centerville. against whom
there is pending in the supreme court
a dlsbarment procedure. Wright as a
practlcing 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
one 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 we're brought
against Wright and are now pending
in the 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 was
committed more than three years ago.
The same contention could be ap-
piled to the disbarment proceedings
which have been brought against S. A.
Ramsey of Woonsocket in case the
new law is sustained by the supreme
court.

RANCH OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Cattle Losses Are Not as Large as
Predicted.

The ranchers along the Cheyenne
river are looking forward to an early
and prosperous season. Flowing is

this section of the country. Cattle
have suffered to some extent owing to
a chinook wind followed by a freezing
spell which prevented the cattle from
getting at the grass. Early reports,
however, which predicted a great loss
to cattle and sheep men are not being
substantiated.
