inaugurated in Chicago, Omaha, Lans
ing, Joliet and other cities, Hammond
business men tomorrow will begin to

as currency during the stringency The
Standard Steel Car company's draft is
now deposited in the Chicago banks
in favor of the First National bank of
Hammond.
In Chicago the situation Is expected
to be relieved by the beginning of
next week and an easing up there will
have the same effect in Hammond
There is, however. no worry in the
Calumet region on that score. as con-
ditions here are practically normal.
The stringency is a street topic merely
for it is not felt in business transac-
tions
1T is the confidence of the people
that is solving the problem" said a.
Murray Turner. president of the First
National bank, this morning. The
/ Chicago banks are trying to keep the
money within their reach and by the
same token are we accommodating the
necessary cash for Hammond. As J
said before, it is all due to the G.
dence of the people. In Hammond they
have continued to make deposits right
along but the banks. instead of send
ing the coin to Chicago. are keeping
1t in the vaults of the Hammond banks
paying the people interest on it and
having it ready to offer in payment OF
all necessary checks"

this morning he awoke and anxious
to find out what time it was, arose and
CROPPED about. looking for the trousers
where his watch had been left nesting
in the pocket. He found the chair in
the usual place but the trousers were
missing. Barber then lit match and
was surprised to see his clothing
strewn about the room, thrown on the
floor and into the corner. He made
hasty examination and found that
his watch and $14 in money had been
taken while he slept He waited unit l
morning when he told his troubles to
the police. Although a sound sleeper
he cannot understand how the man
gained entrance to the room and ran
sacked the place without his knowl-
edge.

time and move away to places where
competition is not so fierce.
The evacuation does not mean that
there is any cessation of the growth
of the town or that the temperance
cause has taken a firm hold on the
people, but simply that there are more
saloons than can exist or hope TO exist

TRlPP COUNTY OPENING

From sources which we con-

for the opening of the ceded por-
ton of Tripp county to settle
ment in May. The agents now
at work doing the allotting ex.
pect to be through with that
work before the first of the year.
AS the proclamation is issued at
least two months before the
registration and drawing, that
will bring these events in July,
and the fling in August and
September.
This tract OF land contains at
least one million acres, large
portion OF it being choice land,
as good as that which occasion
ed the rush to the Rosebud in
1904.
We expect that one of the
places Of registration will be
Bonesteel, but we hope not. if
there is to be a repetition of the
wide open policy and disgrace
full actions which characterized
the place during the registration
in 1904.
This prospective opening of
this tract is attracting attention
in all parts Of the country, and
places Of registration will un-
doubtedly be crowded by thou.

of Uncle SAM domain. The
price Of the land-S6 per acre

that land is rapidly growing in

third grade certificate, or a to-
tai OF /, l29 who are eligible to
teach in the schools Of this
state.
There were 1,13l who failed
to get any certificate, which
means that just about one half

In connection with this report
it is stated that there is an te
shortage Of teachers.
It is announced from Pierre
that the state board has been
"very liberal" in marking the
markings, and still half Of the
applicants failed to pass. Does
this mean that our teachers are
lacking in knowledge of the sub.
jects they are supposed to teach
or does it mean that the exam
nations are to hard, and that to
much is expected? 1t should Of
course be understood that for
