securing fine soft water at a depth
of "a feet. The water rises within
five feet of the surface and, being
cased up, insures soft water for
the use of the plant. The first
twelve feet was through powders

depth was thru sandstone and
Comparatively easy work. At q

Great Speed made in Grading at
all Of the Cam ps along the S.
&c. Road--Ties Rolling in from
the Brewer Tie Camp.

The weather for the past two
weeks has been very favorable for
grading on the Saratoga d En-
campment road and the contrac-
tors say that if this weather holds
the line will be completed to the
depot site in Saratoga by the 25th
of March.
Bridge timber is being trans
ferred from this point to all places
on the line where bridges and
culverts are to be constructed. Ed
ward Ryan has been employed at
this work for some time and is
making satisfactory progress.
j. G. Brewer, the tie contractor,
was in town Tuesday. He says
the snow is interfering somewhat
with the work of cutting ties, but
that his men are still at work and
will continue to cut ties at the
Heather creek camp until driven
out by the snow, which he does
not think probable. His teams
brought down 400 ties on Tuesday
and he thinks they may in time
be able to do better than this.
The ties strung along the line of
survey, between the ranch of Law
renee Sterrett and the mouth of
Cow creek, are being hauled to
this place and distributed along
the grade between here and Wal
colt at points needed.
Over twenty teams are now en-
ployed on the grade near town and
the work begins to make a credit
able showing. Even severe winter
weather will not materially inter-
fere with the work in the bottom
between town an the hill a mile
north. The other two camps are
making equally good progress, and
have all the men and teams they
can work to advantage.

Death of Mrs. Earl Fryer

This community was very much
shocked Monday evening over the
intelligence received from Denver
that Mrs. Earl Fryer, who had
gone to St. Luke's hospital to I'M
dergo an operation, which was
performed Saturday, the 9th inst
had died from the effects of the
operation. The body was brought
home by Miss Madeline McPhail,
a neice of the deceased, who has
been in Denver for some months
attending tie Denver University.
Alexander McPhail brought the re-
mains up from Walcott yesterday
and the funeral took place here at
10 o'clock this morning, from the
Presbyterian church, Rev. Forde
officiating, and the remains we're
buried in the city cemetry.
Mrs. Fryer had been operated
on on Saturday, the 9th and a let
ter written by a nurse to Mrs. Will
son on Sunday, and received here
Tuesday, was to the effect that
she had gone thru the operation
in good shape and was recovering
nicely.
She seemed to be recovering
rapidly and was conversing cheer
fully until a few minutes before
her death, when she remarked to
the nurse that her heart felt
"queer." The nurse went at once
to get something to relieve her,
but when she returned a few min
utes later Mrs. Fryer was in con
WILSON'S and died in less than five
minutes from the first symptom OF
trouble. She was to have under
gone another operation in two or
three days had she continued to
recover.
Annie Mcdonald Deegan was
born at Munlochy, Scotland, on
the 25th day of June, 1869 and
was 81 years, 8 months and IL
days old. She came to this coun-
try in 1898 and was married to
to Earl Fryer on the 3lst day OF
December, 1896. To them was
born three children, Charles Earl.

who with their father are left to
mourn her untimely taking OF.
Deceased has three sisters residing
in this community, Mrs. Alexand-
or McPhail, Mrs. w. Fl. Greene
and Mrs. P. E. Wilson.
She wss a woman of more than
usual kindness of heart and held
a warm place in the esteem OF
every one who knew her. OF an
earnest, sincere disposition, her
actions we're always dictated by a
desire to help and she was always
charitable and lenient toward all IL

a good woman and her loss will be
deeply felt in this community

Malicious Mischief.

1t is truely disheartening to go
around thru the town and note
the broken windows and doors in
the vacant houses. Thousands of
dollars would not repair the dam
age that has been done by mis-
chieveous boys and girls in tn
way of broken windows. Every
house that is left empty for a
short period is made the target OF
stones and when the malicious
work is ended it presents a dilap-
ated appearance. If the people
of Saratoga ever expect outsiders
to invest in property here they
will have to see that every broken
window is paid for and the often
der punished by a good stiff fine
in addition to the damage done.
In the towns and cities on the Pa
cifc coast, where people frequent
ly leave their houses unoccupied
for six months at a time, the pro-
peritv is ~jelaously guarded and ii

homes and almost thrust prosper,
ity on them.
This method is in glowing con.
trast to the land policy of the
United States, where the acquir-
ment of land is hedged about by
many exacting and, in some cases,
almost impossible restrictions.
One does not like to hold his own
government up to disparaging
comparison and there would be no
need for doing so if the admin
stration of the land laws were in
the hands of wise and liberal men.
When such men as A. j. Sparks,
of the Cleveland administration
fame, and E. A. Hitchcock, the
present Secretary of Interior,
come into power, then there is I'M
necessary hardships placed upon
all who would acquire land.
Of course there is bound to be
more or less fraud in connection
with the acquirment of land, and
a constant watch should be kept
and all Eases of illegal settlement
and false swearing, as to residence
and cultivation, should be punish
ed. If a man cannot conscien-
tiously live up to the land laws he
should not attempt to make final
proof. But his road will be diff
fcult enough without having his
every movement beset by suspi-
cion and the constant assumption
of fraud placed on all his actions.
He should oe assumed to be hon.
est and sincere until the contrary
is proven.

LINCOLN

Behold him through the lens of passing time.
The furrowed face, of deep and careworn line,
The dim, sad, vision seeing eyes that peered
To read the future, grim and black and feared,
That massive head, with contour nobly strong,
That tall bent form that bore d nations wrong.
What agony, which creased that rugged brow!
What grief, which caused that mighty frame to bow!
Upon his soul laid big his ancient pledge
To smite the curse of human vassalage.
Upon his conscience sat the weight of state,
To save his country from disunions fate.
When voices urged and sharpened pens revled,
When praye rose and threats rang loud and wild,
And while the struggling forces surged and heaved,
While wide the line of battle swung and weaved,
When shook the Great Republics pilard wall
And all seemed tottring to its awful fall,
With patience then, and poise sublime he stood
And held, restrained and Gained, hot souls who would
Have ruined all with blind, frantic haste,
Wrecked freedoms cause, yet laid the Unions waste.
With courage firm he reused the growing Union heart
To save the nation though it took slave-mart;
To keep the country as one lasting whole
Yet answer true the prompting of its soul:
Foresaw the time, with prophet ken, to give
The slave his boon and bid him rise and live.
Oh, mighty patience that could firmly stand
While clamor ragged throughout the flaming land!
Oh, mighty wisdom, that could see the hour
To use the lever of that pen and power!
Oh, mighty purpose that could wake and raise
A peoples heart and life to higher waysl
Twixt Scylla and .Charybdis held he firm
The Ship of State. Ours now to see AM learn
And never know the greatness of the man
Who. in the wondrous scope of Gods great plan
From lowly station came, and climbed and rose
To pinnacle of power-to break the woes
And right and wrong of u~nrequited toll,
Secession's armed force forever foil,
Preserve self government unto mankind
That al. the earth may yet that blessing find.
And then was taken-to forever own
A name that finds in every heart a throne.

BRULE A N LOTTERY.
Many Arc Making Applications for
Land in Indian Reservation.

The next grand rush to get into the
government lottery for land will be
the Lower Brule opening this week,
so far as the registration is concerned
with the drawing of Numbers the 18th,
fifty numbers the Goth of the month.
From hat date fifty applicants a day
will be cared for until all the land is
taken, or the applicants fail to make
good the filings to which they are en-
titled. Any of the tracts left open af-
ter Dec. 20 will be secured by the first
homestead applicant who desires the
land.
The tract reaches from within six
miles of the new st. Paul railroad on
the south to within a shorter distance
of the Northwestern line on the
north.
Just how many will take advantage
of the opportunity to secure homes On
this tract is p~roblematic, but based
upon the hundreds of inquiries which
ONE to Pierre every day the number
registering will run into the thousands.
The government has set the price
upon the different tracts according to
the character of the land, running
from a minimum of S1.25 per acre up
to $3.50 per acre. This must be paid
one-ifth at the date of filing, and tbs
rest in five annual installments. The
applicant who fails to make any of the
annual payments forfeits his right to
the tract, and with 1t the payments he
has made. About rs per cent of the
land is classed at the $3.50 rate, and
the rest ranges in different sums down
to the S1.25 land.

railroad commissioners in the passen.
ger rate on all standard-gauge rail.
roads in South Dakota from 8 to 2 1-2
cents per mile will not go into effect
on Oct. Is. as originally contemplated
by the board.
A number of the leading railroads
late yesterday afternoon instituted an
action in the United States court in
this city and secured an order for the
railroad commissioners to show cause
why a permanent Injunction should
not be granted preventing them from
placing the 2 1-2 cent rate in effect.
The order to show cause is returnable
before Judge Garland on Oct. 20, at
which time arguments will be made
for and against the granting of a per
manent injunction.
Pending the hearing at that time a
temporary restraining order was
granted by Judge Garland. This will
prevent the reduced rate going into eff
feet on Oct. IS, as ordered by the
board. and also restraints the board
from completing the publication of no.
tees in three of the daily newspapers
of South Dakota that the new rate will
go into effect on Oct. Is.

Supply Demand.
The state educational department
estimates the shortage of teachers in
the state at between 700 and 500, and
finds it no easy matter to help the
county superintendent who desire
teachers to fill the schools. The rea
sons for this shortage are ascribed to
different aus by different people
but it is found that in the counties
where the lowest wages are paid for
country teachers, the shortage is most
severely felt, while in the counties
with better wages there is not sc
much complaint, although this rule is
not a set one as the shortage is re
ported from the counties with better
wages as we'll as from those With low
wages, but not to such an extent.

employment for a part of the year
and requires the teacher to be at IN

TO HOLD WOLF ROUNDUP.
Eastern Hunters Are Invited to Enter
Bio Chase.

An old-fashioned wolf and coyote
roundup is to be held in the vicinity
of Belle Fourche in Butte county. So
plentiful and destructive have the an
imals been this summer and fall that
the roundup was considered the only
systematic method Of Kidding the com
munity of them, at the same time fur
nishing some rare sport. The round
up is called at the instance of the
ranchers and wool growers and is to
be extensively advertised during the
next few days in the East in the hope
of attracting Eastern sportsmen and
those who would ear to join in the
chase. A meeting on Oct. is is called
to make final arrangements and set
the date. 1t has been proposed to dis
tribute many of the hunters during
the night previous to the roundup at
the various ranch houses on the out
side lines Of the proposed drive and to
have a barbecue. Rifles and pistols
will be barred, as only shotguns are
considered safe with a large party
scattered.
