NEWSY STATE NOTES.

Thirteen years ago Elmer J"nnack,
son of John Jennack "A Deadwood livery
man, was taken east, a motherless baby,
to make his home with relatives. Some
time afterward his relatives moved, and
the father was unable to learn where
they had gone, and ever since has
belle we'd his son lost TO him, until last
Saturday, when young man OF eighteen
work. Recognition followed and young
Jennack has now decided to live in
Deadwood. For some years the boy
has been clever eastern jockey, riding
in some of the big races on the Graves
end and other tracks. He only recently
heard that his father was still living in
Dead God and went there to hunt him
up.
Frank Slocum, Of Washington, who
received the lucky No. in the Lower
Brule land lottery at Pierre at the
drawing. Monday of last week, cannot
file on the land, as he already owns
two sections, this being a bar on his
filing on more. MIR. Slocum went to
Huron Saturday and interviewed the
officials of the United s tates land Office
and there was told by them that he
could not file and, further, that he
could consider himself lucky If he was
not prosecuted. Every one who regis
tered signed an affidavit declaring that
the signer was over 81 years of age, was
born or naturallized citizen, and that
he "does not own more than 160 acres
of land. AS Mr.. Slocum owns two
sections, or eight times 100, he per-
jured himself in signing the application
for registry. BY the dropping out OF
Mr. Slocum all the others are boosted
up another notch

SO soon after that tragic experience.

He was from Philadelphia.
Another gentleman asked me to
take dinner with him one evening on

privilege would be more appreciated
by him than similar one with
Hobson or other equally noted.
This almost gave me swelled head

at this time about normal again.

steamship but there being no rail
road out there, this was all that
remained for me to do. However
the weather was exceptionally fine
and once on board and out at sea !
suffered no fear whatever. There
were few other survivors on the
boat besides me, and we were given
the preference in every respect, even
to the privilege of going all over the
boat, from engine rooms to bridge
which privilege we enjoyed
immensely.
"We reached San Francisco about
noon the following day where l was

Here we huddled until after day
break. Some were suffering terribly
from injuries received and SO many,
much worse off than l, that l felt
ashamed to complain. About 500
o'clock the crew sighted vessel but
it did not see us and we had no
means for giving distress signal,
we could not hail it. About $50 a
second one went by and we wondered
if we had been carried by the wind
too far out of the course of the
steamers to be rescued. But about
600 o'clock the steamship GeorgeW.
Elder have into sight and seemed to
be coming directly toward us. Oh!
The Joy Of that moment. Women
wept, and the men gave round and
round of cheers which were heartily
responded to by passengers and
crew on board the Elder. The sur
yivors in life boats and life RATS,
which had lowered near the San
Pedre all night, were first taken on
board and then the boats returned
for us. We suffered somewhat in
being transferred from boat to boat,
as our bodies were simply stiff from
cold and many bruises. But this
we did not mind so glad we were to
again be on something safe. Here
every comfort was given us. We
were put into the staterooms on this
boat and the most serious cases were
at once attended by physician. |

day about noon when we began to

were to land.

GUS for chorals among musicians
everywhere, and Richard Heuberger,
the other director. is a professor at
the Vienna conservatoire. Social
status and musical ability are equal
requisites to membership in the So
ciety. No less than eight millionaires
are on the rolls, and in addition there
are many mobiles, artists, high officials,
ed professional men. Past members
of the society include Mendelssohn,
Richard Wagner, Hszt, Johann
Strauss, Bruckner. Brahms and other
famous composers. Meyerbeer and
Schumann, although not affiliated

to Berlin and Brussels in 1880; Con-
stantinople and Athens in 1891; Paris
in 1900; Egypt in 1904. and London
in 1906. Altogether, the, present
journey is the sixtieth undertaken by
the society. In its eventful history
the society has given concerts before
many monarchs. The first on record
was in 1S45, when the society sang
for the Emperor of Austria at a con-
cert given in honor of the Duchess
of Kent, mother of the late Queen
Victoria. In 1867. when Napoleon III.
