HIsEY GETS A CROWD
The Iowa Politician Delivers His AID
dress Amidst a Scene of Great
I1iIarity.

We have had Andrew Townsend
Hisey from Iowa, and now if the
Cherry sisters could be brought to
South Dakota we would be content.
Mr.. Hisey held forth at the court
house Thursday evening and there
we're perhaps $50 men and boys
present who listened to the doctrines
and principles of the good govern
ment ideas which have been enunci-
ated by this distinguished gentleman
for the past 26 years, and it is the
general opinion that it is about time
that Mr.. Hisey was given recognition
for the long term in which be has
been trying to save the country.
There is no question but that
Hisey is more Or less insane, but it
is of the harmless type and no good
reason can be assigned for depriving
him of his liberty. There is a genial
ity about him that disarms any per-
son of wanting to take any action
against him that will put him where
some people think he ought to be.
In his. speech Hisey was his own
chairman and he launched at once
into the depth of his subject, and al
the outset it was evident that the
speaker was not going hungry fol-
applause or lack of appreciation oil
his speech, for after nearly every
sentence the applause was thunder,
Gus, and the speaker took it in a way
to indicate that the homage paid him
was no more than what was his due
He spoke of it afterwards as being
a very orderly crowd, and that he
was pleased with his treatment.
The applause was SO long and SC
frequent that it had a tendency to
break in on the continuity of thought
of the speaker and he found himsel1
going off into other fields in a search
for words with which to entertain
his audience.
During the recital of one of hi:
long phrases some one in the audi
ence suggested that the speaker pas:
the hat. That sounded good to thu
gentleman and without giving
thought to the unfinished portion o
his sentence, he dotted his long sill
J, tile and started forth. Hisey wal
just as serious in looking after thu

HOME FROM HIS TRIP
DIR. Nicholson Has Been Away ON a
Trip Lasting Six Weeks i'll East
and West.

DR.. Thomas Nicholson, president OF
Dakota Wesleyan University, came
home Thursday evening from an eN-
tended trip, covering a period of six
weeks, a portion of which time vas
devoted to business matters and the
balance to rest and recreation, the
latter OF which he was in great need.
He said that as a result of his rest
trip his health is better at the pres
ent time than at any period in the
past five or ten years, and hat he
feels able TO take up the work OF
the University with greater vigor
than ever.
Going direct to Chicago from
Mitchell six weeks ago, he spent con-
siderable time in that city in looking
up new members for the University
faculty, to fill vacancies which have
been brought about by the granting
of leave of absence to several mem
bers of the faculty. These announce
ments he will be ready to make in
a short time. He was successful in
securing some excellent teachers to
fill the places.
With this work over DR.. Nicholson
started off for his rest trip, going
direct to Excelsior Springs, Mo-,
where he remained for two weeks. On
leaving that point he went north and
west, travelling leisurely, and on
reaching the Yellowstone Park he
spent a week in viewing the grand
scenery and the wonders Of that por-
ton of the domain.
On his return east he stopped at
Hot Springs for nearly a week and
attended the conference of the Black
Hills Methodist church. He was con-
siderably interested in getting the
branch academy of the University
started and a definite conclusion vas
finally reached that the academy
should be a go next year without a
doubt, arrangements being made to
Methodist college. A committee at
Hot Springs will have charge of the
raising of the money with which to
buy the property and making the
necessary arrangements for it's col
lection.
DR.. Nicholson finds d great deal of
accumulated business on his desk
and it will take him a week or more
to get caught up and squared around
for the opening of the university on
September 16.

collection as he was in promulgatins
ms ideas of good government. There
was some method in the length of his
plug hat, for it operated against
anybody reaching down and getting
what was not coming to them. After
he had made the rounds he went
back to The platform and counted
up the cash, and in the meantime
persons in the audience kept tossing
up a nlekle or a penny and the old
gentleman was right after the money
when it dropped on the floor. 1t was
evident that the collection was one
OF the important parts of the adj
dress.
After that the crowd cared very
little about the good government
proposition and the auditors insisted
that he tell them about some of his
romances with which his life has been
strewn, and that seemed to be the
most entertaining part of his address.

married when he discovered that
there was an objection on the part
of the people of his occupying the
presidential chair without a wife, He
offers to let the people of the country
choose his bride, and he agrees to
get married October 10, 1908. 1t is
understood that any girl in the coun-
try can be voted for, but that it costs
one cent to cast a vote, which is to
be the basis for building and estab-
fishing a home, and the winner must
possess at least one-half of all the
votes in the United States.
Fo a half hour Hisey entertained
the crowd by relating some of the
electrifying incidents which had tax
en- place in his career while he was
on his w%heelbarrow campaign
through Iowa, particularly at Iowa
City. Somebody again suggested
that a collection be taken and when
Hisey started for the crowd with his
hat it broke up the meeting.
The candidate for president was
taken care of by Sheriff Cook and
given a place to sleep in the deten-
ton ward for the insane. The sheriff
did this after he learned that a plan
was OF foot among the young boys
to have some fun with Hisey, in
whic heggs that were beyond the
ripe period were to have played an
important part.

THE MEN ARE SCARCE
Milwaukee Cannot Get Enough Men
to go to Work on the Track
improvements.
Improvement

Tuesday Roadmaster Gregory
put his small force of men to work
throwing dirt in the east end of the
Milwaukee yards for the increased
trackage, but it was a small force
that he had. There We're about a doz-
en- who responded to the request for
H35 or 40 men The roadmaster put
those to work and is in hopes of
getting many more.
Superintendent Collins, who re-
NAMED in the city owe night took
an early stroll down through the
yards to see the beginning of the i'm
provements which he has been hop
ing for, and noticing the small num-
Der of men at work, retraced his
footsteps to the depot and down by
the water tank he found rs or 80
men standing there doing nothing.
He offered every one of the men a
job on the track laying at the rate
of $500 per day To the utter as
constituent of tie superintendent
every mothers son of them turned
down his offer. They said they were
harvest hands and were not used to
railroad work, besides they knew of
places in the northern part of the
state where they could get $3.50 per
day and board in the harvest field,
and that was the place for which
they were bound. These fellows have
been beating their way over the Mil,
waukee road this far, and then when
the superintendent wanted them to
go to work at good wages, they de-
clined with thanks. 1t made the sup.
erintendent hot when able bodied
men refused to work at fairly good
wages, and he was not slow in ex.
pressing his opinion of them. The
superintendent said that did not have
any effect on the men.
Mr.. Collins said there would be nc
delay in commencing work on the
new freight house, which was one Of
the most essential things needed
around the yards. When asked il
there was the slightest suspicion thai
a new depot was under immediate
contemplation, the superintendent
said that he could not give any more
information than was known RICH
in Mitchell. He gave the comforting
assurance nv saving tha'
when the Milwaukee got done il
Mitchell that the people of the cit,
would be pretty we'll satisfied will
what would result.
Mr.. Collins left in his private ca,
this afternoon on an extra freigh
east and will return to- the city agar
Saturday to see how the work is get
ting along.

TRYING TO DOWN SHARKS
A Movement on Foot to Put a Stop
to the Land Sharks From Fleec.
inp tho Snft1arS
ing the Settlers.

Chamberlain special: A concerted
campaign is being inaugurated
throughout the land districts between
Chamberlain and the Black Hills
against gangs of land sharks who
are flooding the land offices with con-
tests, clearly for the purpose of f1eec-
ing the claimants of from $25 to
500 each or to force them to sell
ACCOMPLISHMENTS for the land to the
contestants.
During the several weeks past the
Rapid City land Office reports the fl
ing of hundreds of contests, many of
them being upon lands that are
among the best improved and highly
being settled. That absolute perjury
has been committed in swearing that
these claims have been totally aban-
doned and hat the entries should be
cancelled is perfectly plain, and the
more reputable land dealers propose
to follow up this sort of work vigil
antly with Investigations and prose-
lcutions, SO that it will drive the graft
ers either to the pe%nitentiary or from
the field.
Chamberlain has for some time
been perfectly free from the calls of
curbstone, transient land grafters
that drifted in here with the opening
of the Rosebud several years ago, all
such have passed on to greener and
more profitable fields, and the local
dealers are cooperating with the re-
putable real estate firms of Rapid
City and other intervening points in
the hope that the outrage nay be
abated.
Tangible and conclusive evidence
lis being secured in many cases, and
before many days a campaign will be
inaugurated that should bear fruit.
The homesteader in a new country
has plenty to contend with besides
the blackmailer and CRATER, and this
is one class Of pest that can and viii.
be abated.
