LOSE RESERVOIR LANDS.
Few Filters Carry Out Plan They Are
Required to Follow.

Two years ago a large number of
reservoir filings were made in Stanley
county, many of the settlers filing
such d~eclaratory statements at the
same time as they filed homesteads.
These filings were under a law which
gave the claimant possession only so
long as he held a certain required
amount of water on the claim, the
amount being based on the acreage
held. Under the law he must allow
the public free access to such water
at all times, and must file with the
land office an annual certified state
ment that he was holding the required
amount of water. Many of the filings
we're only to hold tracts for friends
who afterward filed homesteads on the
same, but others were filed with the
expectation of holding them. Few car
ried out the plan, and the land office
at Pierre now is %cancelling many such
filings, allowing the tracts to be taken
under the homestead laws by appli-
cantS.

TO DECIDE FORESTRY QUESTION,
S. D. Attorney General and Federal
Bureau Discuss Problem.

oQtGd DISCUSS FTOOICFU.
Attorney General Clark has just had
a long conference at Washington with
the bureau of forestry relative to on
~troversies between the state and ma
tional government in regard to forest
reserve lands.
In the national forest reserve in the
Black Hills there are many isolated
tracts claimed by the state. The
proposition was advanced hat the
state be given a solid block Of forest
land in exchange for the isolated
tracts claimed by it. and it is probable
that a settlement will be made on
that basis.
The conference resulted in a decis-
ion of the officials of the bureau to
call for a meeting of all the states in
terested in forest reserve lands for the
purpose of arranging an equitable set
Element of the questions. This meet
ing will be called in the near future
at some central city in the Middle
West.
In Boston Mr.. Clark investigated
certain evidence relating to the estate
Of John Mcclellan. The Mcclellan es-
tate is situated at Sioux Falls, S. D.,
md valued at $4,000, and is claimed
| ny two parties of alleged heirs Of John
Mcclellan, one branch coming from
Canada and ono from Arkansas. The
supreme court at one time decided
hat none of the claimants were the
risbtful ones and that the property
should escheat to the state. A new
rial was granted on %rehearing and it
is now up to the legal department Of
the state to sustain the courts form
II decision.

STARTS TOT RIGHT IN WORLD
Many Good Citizens Are Product of Children's ASYLUM
Institution Shelters Little Ones From Bad Influences
Until Their Characters Are Nodded.

The South Dakota Children's home
in Sioux Falls is one of the institu-
lions of the state to which everybody
points with great pride. The society
in charge of it is regularly iucorpor-
ated under the laws of the state and
has for its directors many of the
states leading citizens. Its work is
supported entirely by charitable con
tributions and has in late years grown
to such proportions that many of the
counties have come to regard it as a
source of great saving to the taxpay-
ers and annually contribute to its sup
port.
The organization was the o%utgrowth
of a home for the protection of the
little ones who are unfortunately
without proper care, established by
the present superintendent, w. b.
Sherrard, in 1898. Its growth has
been phenomenal. During that period
1865 homeless children have been
cared for, many of them having been
placed in homes and educated, and
to-day living lives of usefulness in
various sections of the state. Some
are school teachers, some are married,
and all are comfortable and happy,
having been saved from a life of
shame and degradation through the
sod-,oving, God-fearing benevolence
of the good people in charge of the
home. 1t is not the intention of this
article to go into the details of the
work, but more particularly to call
the attention OF the public to the
splendid home which has been erected
and is the property free from all in
cumbrance of the society, and built
entirely by free contributions, mainly
through the personal effort of the
superintendent 1t is the earnest de-
sire of Mr.. Sherrard that the home
become self-supporting, and he has
received several gifts to be set aside
as an endowment for that purpose, in
fact, the society now owns three
farms given to it by philanthropic
citizens of South Dakota.
The placing OF children is one of the
difficult problems that constantly con-
fronts the organization. They are
W permanently settled in their
new homes until the management is
fully satisfied that the foster parents.
as we'll as the child, can become rec
onciled TO each other. This feature
is difficult, but so successfully is it
handled that few of the children
placed ever come back for replace
ment. Just now the society is III need

DEADWooD GOOD ENOUGH.
Suggestion to Change City's Name
Arouses Indignation.

That the citizens of the historic
town of Deadwood, made famous in
it's earlier days by dime novel tales
of wildness, will not tamely submit
to its name being changed or its rec
ord slurred, was demonstrated by the
attempt of an editor of a local news
paper. who recently came from the
East. The writer endeavored through
an editorial to secure the changing
of the name of the town to the City
of Roosevelt" a suggestion that
aroused the public ire and the particu-
lar disfavor of the pioneers who
helped to make the town. The writer
was bitterly assailed in each of the
other newspapers of the Black Hills,
and was the recipient of so many no
tees from individuals on the subject
that his suggestion quickly was turned
off as a joke, and a threatened indig-
nation meeting of the pioneer society
was postponed to await further devel-
o%pnlents, which as yet have not ma
terialized.

r A THIEF TARAsAEo.
Passenger chases Robber while Cars
Await Return.

A passenger on a train that runs
into Sioux Falls acted as his w po-
llceman after he had been robbed, and
In a vigorous chase after the train

WITNESS DENIES
SPOOKS HAD HAND
Says Haddock Married Her Sister for
Love and Not Because
Spirits Advised the
Union

In the Haddock spook will contest,
on trial before Judge Conrey in de-
partment six of the superior court yes
terday, Mrs. Louise Sensor, the de-
fendant, took the stand in defense of
her sisters marriage with the aged
capitalist.
Mrs Sensor declared that she had
been well acquainted with Haddock
several months prior to the marriage,
and he was always possessed of all
of his faculties.
In answer to question as to whether
his marriage to her sister was in obe-
dience to the command of the SPIRITS,
expressed through the mediuniship of
Professor" Donovan, the witness re-
piled:
"That idea is absurd Charles Had
dock married my sister through his
love and affection for her. and for
nothing else
"He was very fond of Cynthia from
the time he first met her, and they
were together almost constantly.
Charles used to come to my house with
her, and we played cards"
On cross examination Mrs Sensor
was asked if Haddock had not mem
toned to her or to her sister in the
presence of the witness that he had
been directed to marry again by his
first wife's spirit.
"No SIR" Indignantly denied the wit
ness. HE married my sister only be-
cause he loved her."
AS most of the witnesses for the de-
fense have been heard, and the attor-
news for the plaintiffs are preparing for
the rebuttal, it is probable that the
case will be finished in another week.
If you don't shop Saturday nights the
clerks will get proper rest.
