GOVERNOR NOT AGlTATEp
OVER WARDENSHlP CONTEST

Pierre. S. D.. April 1S.-The fight for
the ~wardenship at the state peniten-
tiary, Sioux Falls. is not causing the
governor any particular worry, as he
refuses. consistently. to interfere with
the wishes of the appointing board in
this matter. The governor has no de-
mands on the board. and the members
owe him nothing in "a political way,
hence the responsibility for any change
made will rest with the board.
OF the a%spirants for the place it seems
that George NJ. Root of Sioux Falls has
the strongest backing and is favored by
MIR. Thomas as the successor to the
present warden. H. T. Parmley. Mr..
Powers. however. wants to see Frank
kennicott appointed. His main support
Tor the place comes from outside of his
own county, Minnehaha, while Mr.. Tip
ton. secretary of the board, prefers the
present warden. but would, as a COM
promise. vote for O.. S. Swenson. who
filled the place very satisfactorily at
the time Mr.. Parlnley was appointed.
Meanwhile the friends Of the applicants
all OF them friends of the state admin
lstration, are awaiting the final out
come of the matter with more or less
unnecessary feeling of rivalry.

INSURANCE MEN FILE
THEIR REPORTS

Pierre. S. D., April 19.-The insurance
companies doing business IN the state
have all filed their statements of 1906
business with Insurance Commissioner
Rasford.
From these statements 1t is seen that
the life insurance business shows the
erect OF the agitation over insurance
affairs In the country. the increase be-
ing slight. AS to fire insurance it's
growth compares favorably with the
development of the state.
The following new fire insurance com
fpanies have within the last sixty days
been authorized to do business in the
state: The Reliance of Philadelphia,
National Union of Pittsburg. Delaware
of Philadelphia, the Guarantee Fund
Life association of Omaha, Neb.. AN
assessment company, Capital Life of
Denver. Colo. The Northern Accident
of Aberdeen and Federal Casualty ON
pany of Detroit are now accident COM
panies. The L.. S. Casualty
of New York has filed notice of its
purpose to withdraw from the state.
The Publishers Mutual of
Huron has changed its name to the
Globe Mutual.
The school land lease books from the
different counties are all i'm and show
that the leasing for this year will bring
greater revenue thar in any previous
years. Day county shows the highest
lease price for n single tract at 81
per acre for one section of grazing
land. and Brown county shows the
highest averages over the lease mini
mum Sc. by the state board, most of
the leases from that county going at
higher figures than the limit fixed. and
practically everything in the county be-
ing taken. The lease returns from
west of the river show an increased
demand. and while a lot of land was
taken, there appears to have been AN
agreement that there is yet plenty for
all I'm that section of the state and
there was no bidding higher than the
minimum,

In Swabia and Hesse. the children
are sent at Easter to hunt for the
"hare's nest" there to find colored
Easter eggs. This custom probably
grows out of the fact that the hare is
reputed by northern mythology to be
a fire and soul bringer. and perhaps
also from the old belief that Frigra.
he goddess who looked after children.
always was attended by hares as her
train bearers.
