some years ago he was overcome by
the heat and whenever a hot day
came around he was more or less
insane, and on this particular occa-
sion he was affected in the same way
by the heat.
There vas some doubt about it and
after investigation, a charge of as
sault and battery was filed against
him by States Attorney Spangler, and
on being taken before Judge Herbert
he was convicted and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail. Kinsahl's home
is in Wisconsin,, and at the expira-
ton of his sentence he will undoubt-
eddy take advantage of the oppor-
tunity to return to his native state,
where his presence would be much
more desired than here.

Brazen Traction swindle.

New York Journal of Commerce:
The deficiencies and weaknesses Of
our whole transit system are due
to stock watering, gross abuses of
financing and evil management in the
past, and all of these have been
gathered under the shield of this
holding company, which in it's or
ganization less than two years ago
brazenly added sos, 900, 900 to the
already bloated capitalization of the
combined systems. The people of
this city have a right to know all
there is to know about the methods
and condition of this combination
and of all it's integral parts, and the
time has gone by when concealment
and secrecy will be tolerated.

COL. ROBE IN new YORK
He Talked Corn Palace for Mitchell
While in the Metropolitan City
This Summer.
This Summer.

While Col. A. Robe, Mitchell's
peerless corn palace decorator, was
in New York during the summer, he
submitted himself to be interviewed
by a reporter for the New York Morn
ing Telegram, in which he weayed a
good story of Mitchell's pride. The
interview is a good one, but the
manner in which the reporter played
and toyed with the titles of the gen
tleman from Kansas, first enrolling
him as n who had fought on the
battlefield and then with ease trans
ferring him to the deck of a warship,
Srather befuddles his friends in this
community, who have always bank
ed on him as the hero of the battle
field. But the New York reporter
was in a facetious mood and as he
knows the colonel quite we'll, he took
the liberty to run him through the
list of titles Of military and naval
degrees. This is what the Telegram
had to say about the colonel:
Lieutenant Adam Robe, the corn
king and advance agent for the pros
perity of all the boundless west, is
with us. 1t was with manifest re-
luctance that Captain Robe vas in
duced by the young man to explain
the object of his visit to New York
and the manner Of construction OF
South Dako.a's corn palace, for he
abhors publicity in any shape and
will lope miles in the August sur
to avoid meeting the insistent scribe
Despite the utmost diplomacy of oul
reporters, Major Robe would not
yield up more than twelve or ffteer
thousand words on the subjects
along which it was purposed to con.
duct the interview.
Corn, as testified to by Col. Robe
is the most important factor today
in the commercial and social vel
fare of the country. Cotton used tt
be king, as General Robe explained
but cotton has been deposed by corn
and rightly so. Cotton is all very
we'll in its way, but can you grind i
to a powder and put it through a still

with a piece of cracked ice for com

CONDITIONS ARE CHANGED
Once a Wilderness is now Converted
Into a Vast Agricultural Region
by Irrigation.

Belle Fourche special: In a vast
ing but cattle and sheep could live
on the produce of the land, Butte
county, the largest county in the
state of South Dakota, is rapidly be-
coming an agricultural center. Soon
after the announcement over a year
ago that the railroads were going
west and would cut through Butte
county on their way to the Pacific
coast, the inroads of settlers COM
menced. Stock and sheep were
crowded off or segregated in lunches
limited to a much smaller territory
than that on which they had hither-
to grazed. Ranches and farms began
to spring up, small settlements and
towns soon found their existence, and
today Butte county, with its 100
lent example of what thrift and en-
|ergy can do. In northern Butte
county, not far from the border line
of North Dakota, the greatest adj
vance in the development of the
country is known. Perhaps this was
due to the fact that a large percent
age of the men who came over are
lyoung men. In quite a few instances
they are college graduates, some OF
them from agricultural colleges.
Here farming is made a science
rather than merely a means of exist
ence. Communities have put together
and constructed numerous reservoirs
and dams and caught and held the
rains that have made irrigation pos
sible. Figures obtained from the
United States land commissioner at
Camp Crook show that in that part
of the county as many as 100 new
settlers have come in within a month
and the present average is twenty
a month. Land in the immediate
vicinity Of Camp Crook is today sell.
ing at 500 per acre, and further
out ranges in price down to an ex
tremely low figure.

CUTTING DOWN A HUMP
. Big Job of Grading Must be Done
on Milwaukee Road Before
the Trains Start.

While the people on both sides of
the Missouri river are patiently wait
ing for the Milwaukee road to start
its train service between Mitchell
and Rapid City, there is much work
to be done before it can become a
reality, and from information re-
ceived from a semi-official source,
it will be thirty days at least before
the trains can be started through to
the Hills country with any idea of
permanency.
Out at Cheyenne river there is a
great hill standing over which the
company built a track rather than to
waste the time then of cutting the
road through to grade. What trains
have gone over that hump have eth
er been very short trains or were
pushed over with the aid of a help
ing engine. This, however, could
not be kept up forever, and the COM
pany has just got to work to cut
down that great hill to the regular
grade Of the road. This will take
in all probability, at least sixty days.
An immense steam shovel has been
placed out there to do this work and
no time will be lost in cutting down
this embargo on the regular train
service.
1t is thought that a fairly good
service can be established in thirty
days and maintained until the hill
reduction is an accomplished fact.
The roadbed as far as Murdo is
in very good condition now, as it has
been we'll .%graveled and it is thus
given a stability that it would not
otherwise have. Beyond Murdo the
track will be ballasted as far as il
is necessary, and when the work is
finally completed the Milwaukee will
have a line of road from Mitchell tc
the hills country that cannot be sur.
passed, and which has been ironed
with a very heavy rail with the idea
of accommodating heavy traffic.

What Cuba Cost Us.

Boston Herald: So much of ou1

go more than it would have cost
to maintain it at home during the
fiscal year of 1907. Such is the re-
port of Quartermaster General Ale

amount being for transportation. We
are not measuring what we are do
ing or have done in Cuba in terms
of money, but it is just as we'll to
know what the cost is.

THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL
John Kinsahl Given That Sentenc'

i'll the City.

John Kinsahl will have thirty
days to lay in the county Jail and
will have plenty of time to reflect
over the assault he made on a young
lady in this city a short time ago.
Kinsahl for a time boarded at a
residence on the east side, and one
day when he went home in the after
noon, he grabbed the young lady
around the throat and threw her
bodily out of doors across the porch
and on the ground, using consider
able violence and at the some time
using the worst kind of language
toward her, applying epithets that
brought the blush to the face of the
young woman.
Kinsahl was arrested and kept in
iail for a few days. He claimed as

Gen. A. A. Humphrey w. r. G. In
June Mrs. Johnson, president of the
corps, moved to Oregon to make it
her home. Previous to her departure
the post and corps gave a reception
for her at her daughters home. A
fine supper was served and the corps
presented her with a past-president's
pin, Mrs. Nichols making the pre-
sentation. 1t was a great surprise,
but highly appreciated. The night
before she left for her new home the
ladies met at her sisters home for a
farewell time, not solemn, but each
one tried to be cheerful and jolly.
They went with her to the train and
in every way possible tried to forget
the coming separation. Since Mrs.
Johnson's arrival at her home she
writes, that last evening was one
of the bright spots to look back upon
and but for the fun and gaiety she
should have broken down" The
corps now intends to write her a
Joint letter. The neX pleasant
gathering was at the home of our
e president, Mrs. Mary Rodgers,
in honor of her guests, Mrs. Josibell
Dilley, president of w. r. G. No. 227,
department Of Illinois, and Mrs.
Wiseman, late president of Elk
Point w. r. G. Both the visitors
entertained us with an interesting
talk upon the work in their home
corps. Mrs. Wiseman has moved to
Wilmot. AS they have no corps it
is hoped she will join Gen. A. A.
Humphrey. After the social hour
we were invited into the dining room
where we found the tables loaded
with everything to tempt ones APP
petite. Here we were joined by the
G. A. r. boys, and we all know how
it is then. Following this was the
picnic at the court house grove in
honor of Mrs. Nichols, our depart
1ment aide, and her husband, who
are going away for the winter. Each
lady invited one or more friends. 1t
was an ideal day and every one was
in picnic humor, so you may know
all had a good time. There we're
about seventy present, among them
the "old boys" The corps presented
Mrs. Nichols with a book of en-
broidery silks, as a small token of
our regard for her, and appreciation
of her work in the corps. Socials are
held occasionally to keep up a sun
shine fund with which to purchase
fruit and flowers for the sick post
or corps members. The post declare
they could not exist without "the
girls."'

The Homestake Fire.

The fire in the Homeotake mine is a
matter Of the most absorbing interest to
the people of the northern Hills at the
present time and it will be a matter of
rejoicing when the roar Of the stamps is
heard once more. The FIRE was discov-
cred in the mine on the 500 foot level
on the 26th Of March and the utmost ex-
ertion was made for month to extin-
guish it but it was of no avail. 1t was
then decided by Supt. i. j. Grier TO
food the mine which was commenced
on the 22nd OF April and the water was
soon pouring in at the rate of $500 gal.
Ions per minute This mine which has
attained the depth of 1900 feet contains
drifts of great length and it is said that
the aggregate distance Of the shafts, tun-
nels, drifts, wines and slopes is about
100 miles in extent The water at mid
night on Thursday was l34 feet deep
on the 500 foot level and rising at the
rate Of about five inches per hour, so that
the management estimate that the mine
will be flooded to the 400 foot level by
the first of June 1t is calculated by
that time that the fire will be out and
the deadly gases which has thus far been
the most serious difficulty will be expel-
ed, and the unwatering ofthe great mine
will be commenced. 1t will not be nee
essary to wait until the mine is free
from water before operations are resum-
ed as there is a large amount of ore
available from the large open cut at the
surface and from the upper levels. II
| is thought now that 500 stamps will be
| dropping by the first of June, and the
entire capacity of the plant, l000stamps
will be brought into play by the 10Th o.
| July. The management have announc
ed that the dividends which have beer

years will be for the present discontinu
