WOOL PRICES TO BE LOWER.
Clip i'm Pierre District VIII Also Be
Shorter Than Usual.

Wool prices will probably rule low
err this year than for several years
past, when 25 cents a pound and even
higher prices have been paid. With
the ruling price at other wool points,
% cents will probably be nearer the
top than any other figure. The clip
which will be marketed at Pierre this
year will not be nearly so large this
year as formerly on account OF the
Lyman county wool going out over the
Milwaukee road instead of coming to
Pierre. This year will end the wool
market at Pierre, as shipments will be
picked up at points west after this.
With present conditions requiring
transfer by boat here, many of the
growers will haul in their product just
as If no railroad was operating west.
Then the big flocks are being broken
up, and those which do not go this
year will have to go later. 7. E. Phil
fps and son, who have been operating
extensively in the vicinity Of White
Clay Butte, are pulling out, having
purchased ranch location in Mon
tana, where they will be free from
homesteaders for several years more,
the land about their old location hav-
ing all been taken and the range cut
out. Others are in the same position
and must close out their holdings Of
sheep or seek new locations.

NOW COMES PULLMAN.
Railway Board to Attack Sleeping Car
Rites.

A definite effort was begun before
the interstate commerce commission
to secure to the public reduction in
the rate of fare charged by the Pull
man company for it's sleeping car &C
commodations. This is the first time
in the history of the commission that
a proceeding has been brought against
the Pullman company, and 1t promises
to be an action of more than ordinary
interest and Importance.
Three complaints were filed against
the Pullman company and various
northwestern railroad lines by George
S. Lotus, a business man, Of st. Paul,
MINI. Mr.. LOTUS AYERS that in the
course of his business he is obliged to
travel from St Paul to various other
points and to use the accommodations
Of the Pullman company. The
charges for the accommodation, he de-
clares, are unjust, and he asks that
the commission reduce them by one
half.
In his first complaint he ayers that
the charge made by these companies
for a sleeping car berth from st. Paul,
Mimi, to Superior, Wis, is $3.50
whether the berth be an upper or a
lower. He says that the lower berths
are far more desirable than the upper
berths and that the latter should be
considerable less in pay

BAN ON GAMBLING,
Vice Has Been Carried to Extremes at
ClaremOnt

A gambling craze has been carried
to such an extent at Claremont that
the town authorities have been COM
PEELED to place on the lid, and the
town marshal and several other off,
Gals now are standing squarely upon
it in the effort to hold it down. A ban
has been declared by the town author
tiles upon all forms of gambling. Thus
far one citizen has been arrested on
the charge of wooing the tickle god
dess and it is rumored that other ar
rests are to be made. simultaneously
with the arrest every slot machine and
other gambling device in the town
mysteriously disappeared, and it is
said that not one would now know
that Claremont ever had a slot ma
chine or other gambling device. Nat
urally the action of the town authori-
ties in suppressing gambling has
caused a great sensation among the
residents of Claremont.

the State


Judge Anthony, appointed by the
supreme court of Missouri to take
testimony in the suit instituted by At
tcrney General Hadley against the
Standard Oil company, the Waters
Pierce Oil company and the Republic
Oil company, charging conspiracy, Fri
day made a report to the court. His
findings hold the companies entered
into an agreement to control the prices
of oil. He recommends that their
charter be revoked and that they be
ousted from the state. In his report
he holds the supreme court has au-
thority to make ruling in custer.
Judge Anthony reviews in detail the
testimony, showing the organization
and conduct Of the companies. He
says the evidence shows in 1901 the
Standard, Waters-Pierce and Republic
Oil companies entered into an agree
ment which continued to exist up to
the time of the filing of the suit two
years ago, for the purpose Of fixing
and controlling the prices to be PAID

KING IS STILL IN HIS CELL.
Scotland Banker Fails to Secure Bail
Seeks Transfer.

Chas. c. King, the alleged Scotland
bank wrecker, who was arrested in
Chicago several weeks ago by the
United States authorities and brought
back to Sioux Falls, is yet in the coun-
ty jail in that city, having thus far
failed to furnish bond in the sum of
$500 for his release. Doubtless be-
coming discouraged over his prospects
Of furnishing the bond, Mr.. King has
just made an informal application to
Judge Garland, of the United States
court, for his transfer to the Yankton
county Jail, but Judge Garland de-
clined to take action in the matter. No
reason is known why Mr.. King should
desired to be transferred to the jail Of
Yankton county, unless it was for the
his attorneys, w. H. Farnsworth, of
his attorneys, w. H. Farsnworth, of
Sioux city, and F. d. Wicks, of Scot
land, so he could consult with them
more frequently.

MORE DELAY AT BOISE.
Court VIII Have to Adjourn to Await
New Venire


From present indications it would
seem that another week must elapse
before the taking of testimony can be-
gin in the trial Of william Haywood
at Boise, Idaho, first of the alleged
Inner circle" of the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners to face jury in answer
to the states charge of conspiracy in
the murder of former Gov. Steunen-
berg.
But twelve members of the second
special venire of proposed jurors re-
main. A thirteenth talesman was
drawn Saturday afternoon just prior
to adjournment and is confined with
the trial panel. He has yet to be ex-
amined as to all of his qualifications.
In addition to the vacancy, which he
may or may not fill, there remain four
peremptory challenges, two with the
prosecution and two with the defense
The opposing attorneys seem deter
mined to use up every challenge the
law allows. This means that only sew
en- final Jurors have been selected-a
little more than one-half-and the
trial has been in progress for more
than two weeks actual time

TO CUT RAILWAY FORCES.
Thousands of Men LIKELY to BE
Thrown Out of Work.

Between $4,000 and 100000 men
will be thrown out of employment by
the railroads Of the country before
the end Of the first week in June, ac-
cording to the Chicago Record Herald
1t has been the custom in the past for
the railroads to reduce their pay rolls
at the beginning OF the summer, but
this year the roads have issued espe-
cially stringent economy orders and
the working forces will be reduced to
the lowest possible point.
In addition TO the employees in the
regular service, many thousands of la
borers will be discharged by the rail-
roads which have abandoned new
work and new extensions owing to the
difficulty In raising money.

DEATH IN AUTO WRECK.
Man Killed and Girl Probably Fatally
Hurt Near Los Angeles.

AS the result of a collision between
a heavy touring car and the engine Of
the Santa Fe limited Just before 7
o'clock Sunday evening Walter Foster,
Of Minneapolis, a guest of the Alexan-
dria, is dead. Miss Genevieve Hart,
his companion on the ride, is uncon-
scious and seriously injured and Carl
Void, the chauffeur, is in a Pasadena
hospital with a broken arm and other
severe injuries. The accident occurred
at Lamanad park, four miles east Of
Pasadena. Foster and his companion
had visited Monrovia and reached the
Satna Fe crossing. The approaching
train was invisible to the chauffeur
because of intervening trees and
houses When almost on the track
Void saw the train and apparently be-
came confused. He turned the auto
mobile almost directly toward the en-
CINE, which was running at about for
ty miles an hour. AS the big machine
struck all three were thrown out and
the big automobile was ground to
framents. The three victims were TAX
EN- to a Pasadena hospital, where Fos-
ter died shortly after midnight. Fos-
ter arrived in this city two days ago,
and little can be learned Of his con-
nections. The young woman is a res
ldent of Los Angeles.

New Company to Operate Plant at
Harrisburg.

AS the result of a visit made by
George Terwilliger, of Sioux City, to
Harrisburg, a small town a few miles
south of Sioux Falls, he concluded the
sale of what is known as the Terwilli-
ger elevator at that place to the
Farmers Elevator and Supply COM
pany, which was organized a short
time ago with the purpose of establish
ing an elevator at Harrisburg The
sale includes the elevator, coal sheds,
corn cribs and two wagon scales. The
officers of the new company estimate
that they have saved a considerable
sum by the purchase of the elevatorin-
stead Of attempting to construct an en-
tirely new elevator. The new elevator
company will engage actively in BUSH
ness and is expected to prove of great
benefit to the farmers Of that locality.

PASSED OLD STATE CURRENCY.
Two Dakotans Are Sentenced to Peni-
tantiary

In the circuit court at Redfield Jas.
Morris and Chas. Decker were each
sent to the penitentiary for one year
on conviction Of obtaining money I'M
der false pretenSe. The crime con-
sisted of passing old state Of Georgia
currency, issued in 1850. By pressing
two bills together they were made to
resemble very closely the national
bank notes Of the present day. 1t was
ascertained that other parties were
furnishing these bills to be passed,
but sufficient evidence could not be Sc
cured to warrant an arrest.
Leo Archer was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary, having been
convicted Of the crime of criminal as
sault. Archer was employed by w. E.
Linenfelter who was drawn on the
jury for this term of court, and the as
sault was an attempt on Mrs. Linen

COSTLY ROW OVER DOG.
Heavy Expense to Mcpherson County
i'm Prosecuting Case.

The taxpayers of Mcpherson county
will be put to an expense Of several
hundred dollars, and all because Of a
dog which in the open market would
not sell for more than II cents. A
dispute over the dog, which belonged
to a member of an Assyrian colony in
Mcpherson county, caused a free for
all fight between the male members
of the colony. The affair became so
serious that the county authorities
were compelled to step in and make
a number Of arrests. Several Of those
arrested, as the result of their pre-
liminary hearing, have been held for
appearance at the next term Of state
circuit court when they will have to
answer to the charge of assault with
intent to do great bodily injury. 1t is
probable that the 12-cent dog will be
offered as an exhibit by the prosecu-

Packers VIII Do Away with In
spection "On the Hoof" Provided
For I'm the Recent Act of Congress.

The Chicago beef trusts new rule
making the purchase of Cow stuff"
subject to a post morton examination
went into effect for the first time Mon
day, with the result that less than half
the usual amount of this class Of live
stock found it's way into the stock
yards. The uneasiness caused by the
letters and kilograms sent out last
week to shippers, warning them to
hold back their cows and heifers, was
reflected in a greatly reduced cattle
supply, and commission men declared
when the days sales were closed that
meat prices might go up with bound
unless there is a break in the situa-
ton before the end of the week.
All the Cow stuff that did come in
was sold to the Independent packing
firms, and the commission firms are
5ubilant over their success in resist
ing the demands of the trusts buyers.
All of the commission firms except
one, the Cooperative, which is not
listed in the live stock exchange, were
in unity In refusing to sell to the big
packers under the new ruling, and as
the latter declined to buy on the old
scale the dead lock was on in earnest.
Commission men claim to have adj
vices from Washington assuring them
that any attempt on the part of the
packers to extend the new ruling to
cover other classes of live stock will
mean the withdrawal of the govern
ment inspection service.

Mrs. William Mckinley, widow OF
the late president, died at her home
at Canton, O., at 1:05 o'clock Sunday

For many years Mrs. Mckinley had

shock of her husbands tragic death,
but it left it's mark, and when it was
known that she had suffered stroke
of paralysis little hope was felt that
she could SURVIVE.
The end came peacefully, almost
imperceptibly. Mrs. Mckinley never
knew of the efforts made for days to
prolong her life nor of the solicitous
hope against hope Of her sister and
other relatives and friends for her re-
covery.
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. c. Barber.

the announcement of the demise was
given to the public.
