DOG is RESCUER.

Pulls Woman From Beneath Door
That Falls Upon Her.
To be rescued by dog from peril
Gus position was the experience Of
Mrs. Belts, mother of Miss Belts, as
sistant postmaster at Webster
While pushing open sliding door
of the barn, the door came Off it's
hinges and fell upon Mrs. Belts, PIN
ioning her to the ground. The door
was so heavy that she was unable to
extricate herself and she might have
been held prisoner by the door for
several hours had 1t not been for the
dog. The animal was close at hand
when the accident occurred. She called
to 1t and the when the dog came to her
she grasped it firmly with both hands
and commenced to pull. With almost
human intelligence the big dog tugged
and pulled until 1t had liberated its
mistress.
Mrs. Belts was injured so severely.
however, that she was unable to rise
and make her way to the house, but
was compelled to awal. the coming OF
the first passer-by In order to secure
assistance. After she had remained on
the ground for some little time, a
neighbor chanced to pass within hear
ing distance and was summoned to her
assistance. She was found to be seri-
ously injured.

The Lack .pf Cars.

Demand of the railroads upon the work
for their locomotives ana cars is in ex-
cess, all over the country. Of their ability
to meet it. That is. demand of traffic has
outrun railroad equipment very far. 1t is
in the West that the shortage produces
extreme inconvenience and heavy loss.
Even the great lines OF the East cannot
move the traffic that offers, and lack Of
motive power delays even passenger
trains. In the Southern states the condi-
tions are very similar to those that pre-
vail in the West Were the situation
without remedy the people Would be pa
tient. But 1t Is felt everywhere that there
has not been sufficient foresight or enter
prise in making provision to handle the
traffic of the country: and in most, il not
all the states, legislative inquiry will be
made. with view. perhaps. to enforcement
of remedies, or, at least. OF attempting
them.
The people do not wish to deal untustly
with the railroads, nor do they expect
impossibilities. But they do feel that
there has been delinquency or dilatori-
ness; and they wish to expedite" supply
of pressing want. The reciprocal de-
murrage" talked Of is in the nature of a
fine; 1t may have in it an element of in
Justice. for perhaps 1t will be impossible
to furnish the cars called for, since none
can be bought or built at once: but It
will be admonitory, and may hasten re-
suits. Lack of cars has been an increas-
ing complaint for years. and 1t is not be-
lieved that the railroads have done all
they could or should to meet it.-Ore-

The hearing in the case recently In
stituted by Montgomery Ward & Co. OF
Chicago against tie South Dakota Re
tail Merchants and Hardware Dealers
association and E. !. Mannix editor OF
the Commercial News, did not come
up for hearing on Thursday.
Upon application of the plaintiff the

been engaged by the Chicago concern.
At the time of the hearing on Jan. II
the matter Of granting the Chicago
concern a temporary Injunction re-
straining the Retail Merchants asso-

tinuing their warfare against cata-
logue houses will be argued.
Interest In the case is keen, especial
ly among retail merchants whose busi-
ness has been seriously affected by the
competition Of the catalogue houses.
The Chicago concern alleges that the
defendants are carrying on . boycott
against it and preventing 1t from se-
curing from jobbers and manufactur-
ers goods required by It to hll the or

FRoWN ON IDEAS OF PRESIDENT.
Fear Hardship From Proposed Land
Law Reform.

Fear Hardship From Proposed Land
Law Reform.
The popularity of President Roose-
velt among certain class Of settlers
is likely to be shaken west Of the Mis-
souri, river If his recommendations in
regard to the disposal of public lands
are carried out.
The particular requirement which
is creating discussion is the recon-
mendation that whenever final proof
is offered on a tract, it be held until
special agent has visited the tract and
personally satisfied himself that the
requirements of the law have been
Complied with. AS settlers are numer-
GUS and special agents are few, some
Of the settlers see in such procedure,
delay, annoyance and trouble for them
selves. When proof is offered, it
will mean a wait until the special
agent has gone to the tract.
Again it has been the custom to
make loans on receivers receipt, and
this will be wiped out, so no loan will
be made except where the patent has
been granted. Where a homesteader
desires a loan for the purpose of fur
ther improving his tract, or to pur-
chase stock to Craze upon it, this will
mean the end of his hopes in that d.
rection, and he will have to grub along
without the loan, which would also
make it harder for the homesteader
who wants cash to complete his proof,
but which he cannot get under such a
ruling.
There is likely to be a number of
homestead entries to be picked up
within a short time through the can
collation. of what are known as water
rights Under the law providing for
such filings, the party making the
same must have placed within one
year from time of filing upon the tract,
a dam Of certain specified size, hold
ing a certain amount of water. In
numerous cases, this work has not
been done, and several hundred such
entrymen have been served with no
tice to appear at the local land office
and show cause why otheir entries
should not be cancelled. AS many of
them have made no effort to carry
out the provisions Of the law, their
entries soon will be opened to home

The annual report of the fo0d and
dairy commissioner, E. w. Small. gives
some interesting information 4 con
nection with the analysis of food sam
ples, as required by the state pure food
law passed at the last legislature.
The total number of analyses made
by the state chemist was 315, and that
official calls special attention to the
