PRAISES IRRIGATION WORK.
Auditor Persons Tells of Progress at
ReIIe EOurche

r. S. Persons, auditor for the inte-
rior department, was in Pierre recent
ly, after having visited the Belle
Fourche irrigation project. Mr. Per-
sons has been out for several months
on that work, a part of the time ac-
companying Secretary Garfield, and is
an enthusiast over the reclamation
work being done by the general gov
eminent. At the present time twenty
five such projects are under way in
Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota,
Montana, Idaho and Arizona, covering
construction work of practically every
kind from towering stone dams in the
mountain gulches to the immense
earthen dam at Belle Fourche. Most
of these projects are for the purpose
of reclamation of tracts which with
out water are absolutely barren, but
the Belle Fourche project is one
which is intended to increase produc-
tiveness of land already tillable, and
in this Mr.. Persons says it appeals to
him with greater force than any of
the others, and especially so as it is
to help build up his home state. An
alleged interview from Belle Fourche,
in which he is quoted as having init
mated that graft existed in the work
he denies absolutely, never having
made any such statement, but instead
having at several times expressed his
delight in the high class of men which
the government had been able to Sc
cure to carry out the projects.
The work is costing more than was
expected on account of the labor mar
ket, and several contractors quitting
on account Of the increased wages,
compelling the government authori-
ties to take up and complete the con-
tractors work

Death OF Cleveland Banker Puzzles
Officers.


The wife of John J. Phillips, the
coal operator, banker broker and club
man, of Cleveland, who was shot and
fatally injured in his home, is under
guard in her home The officers who
caused her arrest after the funeral of
her husband regard her as being in
too nervous a condition to be taken
from her residence and questioned.
Before Phillips died he told the
physicians and officers that he had
started down stairs to get bottle of
beer and that as he turned on the
light a burglar shot him. This story
was declared by other members Of the
family to be true. The police, how
ever, discredit the explanation. An
explanation that is given general Gre
dence is that Phillips committed sui
eide because Of business reverses and
that the family knows this to be the
case
Phillips was shot about 1 o'clock.
The police were not called for three
hours later. Mrs. Phillips said that
the burglar remained in the house for
two or three hours after the shooting
for plrnder. Chief Samberger, of the
police department Of East Cleveland,
the suburb in which is the home of
the Phillips family discredits this
story.

While one masked man held part
of the population of Strandburg, in
Grant county at bay with his six
shooter three confederates broke into
the bank of that town and got away
with $500. The burglars entered the
building by breaking a rear window,
got inside of the vault with sledges
and blew the safe open with nitro
glycerin.
The noise attracted several citizens,
but as fast as they appeared uDarmed
they were covered by the man on
watch. Whenever a light appeared i'm
a window the guard snuffed it out with
a bullet
The robbers got away, riding in a
northwesterly direction. A pursuing
posse has been organized, but as there
is no clew to the identity of the band
the likelihood OF their being caught is
small.

existing between his company and the
American Sugar Refining company, OF
New York, the so-called Havemeyer

on the coast is held low enough to
prevent competition from Havemeyer.
except in a few special grades, which
the Western does not make.
Spreckles' testimony is to be used in
the suit brought by the receiver Of the
Pennsylvania Sugar company against
the American company for 100000

Rev. Mr.. McCauley, of Bridgewater.
Celebrates Anniversary

"
Rev. A. G. McCauley has just cele-
brated the twenty-second year of his
work as pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Bridgewater, and a recep-
tion was rendered the pastor by the
members of his flock Not as reward
in any way to compensate him for his
years of labor, but as little token,
the people presented him with a
purse of $22, a dollar for every year
that he has lived in Bridgewater. Not
Iwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Nc
Cauley has had several very attractive
offers to go elsewhere in the work of
the ministry he has remained firmly
at his first post in this state. He has
attained high standing in the Pres
byterian field of work. being in close
touch with the head of the officers.
He has also been closely associated
with the temperance work in this
state and is a member of the board
which operates the Anti-Saloon
league. Mr.. McCauley is greatly APP
preciated by his home people and he
will continue to preach to Rridgewa-
ter citizens as long as they desire.

BARS TOBACCO USERS.
Will Not Be Admitted as Students to
the State Normal


the State Normal.
If students of the state normal
school at Spearfish wish to smoke in
the school year they will have to re-
sort to corn silk or cubebs. Such is
the dictum of the principal, F. l..
Cook, who has just issued to the pa
rents a lengthy ruling on the tobacco
evil in which he decries the increas-
ing appetite manifested by the stu
dents and declares that he will eff
fectualy stamp it out at once. Hence
forth, he says, no student will be adj
united to the school, no matter what
other qualifications he possesses, if he
is known to be user of tobacco in
any form, and particularly is this aim
ed at cigarette fiends. Prof. Cook says
he has found that no smoker ever
makes a good student, and it is the
mind he is seeking to cultivate first.
He asks the parents to cooperate
with him in enforcing this anti-tobac-
co rule and says plainly that no
boy who smokes is wanted at the
school, no matter if the rule cuts down
the attendance to only ten scholars.
He lays the blame for the smoking
largely on the heads of the families
who permit their boys too much lax
ity In their pleasures.

KING LEOPOLD IN QUEER MOVE.
Transfers Crown Interest i'm Congo
STATE

King Leopold made another mo-
mentous move in the Congo question
Monday by turning over the domain
of the crown in the Congo independ-
ent state to a joint stock company in
which he is alleged to be interested.
This is the most important section OF
the Congo. 1t is ten times larger than
Belgium and was to have reverted 20
Belgium with annexation. Its trans
fer deprives Belgium of the most prof
table part of the independent state.
The decree announcing the trans
fer, which appeared in the official bull
letin, caused a sensation, it being gen.
orally accepted as end&ngering the
success of the commission appointed
recently by King Leopold to negotiate
q treaty annexing the Congo indie
pendent state.
