Burned BY X-Ray.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. SO. A.
Sweeney, inspector for the Washington
Water Power company, who was Sc,
verely burned some time ago while
undergoing an X-ray examination, sub
mitted to a skin grating operation in
the Sacred Heart hospital recently and
it is believed he will recover. 1t was
while attempting to develop the
source of Sweeney's supposed kidney
trouble that the X-ray machine was
brought to play on his body. In con
Quoting the examination the attending
physician brought the powerful rays
into too close contact with the flesh
and destroyed both cuticle and cpl
dermis on considerable areas of the
body. Running sores have resulted
which have thus far resisted all med
ical attempts at healing. The disease
is called X-ray dermatitis. Thomas
Edison, the inventor, is suffering
from similar ailment, contracted
during X-ray experiments.

A LAND STORY FROM
TRIP COUNTY, 5. D.
ROSEBUD AND INDIANA LANE
GIVES STRIKING CONTRAST.

Lamro, S. D., Aug. Especial to The
News: A striking contrast between
Trip county and Indiana land was
recently unearthed by a Lamro at
torney, G.. o. Van Meter.
In the Goodland, Ind, Herald ap
pears the following "want-ad:'
Good 100 acres farm, Benton coun

land. Located on good gravel road
one mile from good market. Price

Mr.. Van Meter says that Trip coun

made with the Wlnnebagos was for the
same period. but will not expire for
fine years. Nearly all the land amount
ing to about 275,OOO acres, is already
allotted In severalty to the indians.
I Each Indian knows what is his par.
ticular piece OF land, but he cannot
sell or lease without the consent OF
the government given through the In
dian superintendent on the reserva.
ton. The only exception to this rule
Is what are known as "heirshlp" lands,
where the original holder of the allot.
ment has died and upon order OF the
county judge the land may be sold
for the benefit of the heirs.
The theory of the government in
thus holding the lands of these Ne.
braska Indians Is that they are not
yet developed far enough In the com.
complete custody of their own prop.
erty. Like children they must be kept
In wardship to protect them from
shrewd white men who would get
their lands for trifle and leave the
Indian without means of subsistence.
When the present treaties expire
without some new action on the part
of the government the Indian will have
clear title to his land and may part
with to whom he will and at any
price he chooses.
There have been recent changes at
the Winnebago reservation, Mr.. A. II.
Kneale coming from the Crow agency
in Montana to take charge of affairs
there. 1t Is announced that the new
agent will put into practice new
school system among the Winnebago
similar to the public school system of
Nebraska. The work of issuing patents
from the government to the Indian
has been going on for several years.
When the treaties expire, If no action
Is taken by the government, grand
rush for bargains In Indian lands will
probably take place in Thurston
county.

The Attendance.
A Talk on Farminu.

o. Neill Democrat: The great
trouble with the crop averages in
Holt county, especially the corn crop,
in the careless methods of farming
prevailing here. One man attempts
to farm too much ground. Most
farmers will tell you that one good
hand will farm from sixty to eighty
acres of corn. This is a mistake, an
awful mistake. When one man at
tempts to care for more than forty
acres of corn he is doing his farm, his
pocketbook and the country in general
a great injustice. 1t takes on an aver
age Of six days to cultivate forty
acres, Even then you have to allow
for bad weather which may delay.
From the time the corn is large enough
to cultivate there are six weeks that
1t should be cultivated once per week
this will keep one team very busy,
but ii is almost always true that one
man can raise more bushels of corn
off of forty acres than he can from
sixty or eighty acres. 1t only takes
a trip over Holt county and a visit
with the farmers who raise the big
crops and those that raise the small
crops to prove the truth. of this state
ment. What you do-do well.

Mr.. Bridge Says He Would Lease the
Grounds 10 the City for a Term OF
Years at Reasonable Prioe--Grounds
Would Be Picturesque.
An easy solution of the public park
proposition for Norfolk is at hand.
Scores of people who have visited
the beautiful chautauqua grounds, on
the property of the Sugar City Cereal
Mills company, have looked and won.
dered that so picturesque and so ideal
spot for public park could have
existed for all these years without
ever having been brought into such
use. The entire city, as 1t were, has
voiced the very earnest desire that
Norfolk, through the mayor and city
council, might establish public park
on that coy, well.shaded and con
veniently located site
And the fortunate feature of the
proposition lies in the willingness OF
c. S. Bridge, who Is at the head OF
the milling company, to lease those
grounds for park purposes at a reason
able price for a long period of years
Mr.. Bridge Would Lease Ground.
Asked in regard to the matter by
The News, Mr.. Bridge said that he
would not care to sell the property
but that he would be willing to lease
the ground for public park purposes
for period of years. He had not
considered the matter sufficiently tc
set figure at which he would make
the lease, but he did say that he
would lease the grounds at treason
able price"
And so, as has been pointed out by
scores and scores of Norfolk people
public park-a long wished for pos
session in Norfolk-seems at last
withia easy reach, and in the simples
sort of way.
Mayor Sturgeon has already beer
considering the matter and it is be
lieved that the city council would be
glad to add this progressive improve
ment to the years record,
Six Acres in the Park.
There are about six acres in the
grounds. Lying just northeast of the
mill, at the foot of Norfolk avenue
the public park would be within {
stones throw of the business section
of the city. On the grounds could b'
a band pavilion, a place under roof
ing for picnic lunches, a fountain per
haps, blue grass all around, a croque
ground, tennis court, perhaps gol
links, driveways around the park
park benches, etc. And up river from
the park boating could be easily &C
cessible.

Fourth Bumper Crop Expected To
Boost Rosebud Land Values.

Gregory Times: The tremendous
crop which will be harvested in the
Rosebud country this season, being
the fourth great bumper crop since
the Rosebud country was opened 10
settlement four years ago, will cause

country are buying up land here, for
the sure and steady increase in value
are netting handsome returns. Land

and will go to siXty-fve this fall

Berlin, March 9.-The minor court
in Berlin has just decided that it is
gross misdemeanor to, shout, on
open streets or "hurrah for universal
suffrage" :,Ssy
The case in question came up from
appeal from the police order of arrest
on the part of three socialists who
took part in street demonstrations
Jan. 1. The offenders asked that
Chancellor Won Buelow be called as
a witness to the harmlessnes of
street demonstrations, since the chan
celor has made speeches to noisy
crowds on election night. The court
rejected the motion on the ground
that "the great difference is whether
fanatical masses on the streets give
expression to dissatisfaction with ex-
listing laws or whether patriotic peo-
pie give joyful homage to states
men,
Further, it was charged that de-
PENDANTS were singing working
mems marseillaise. The prosecut-
ing attorney moved that the Weeks
arrest, as appeared in police order,
be sustained, and the court imposed
fines ranging from SIS to $s.75.

distressing that has ever been re-
corded in the city of Fargo.
The Collins boy, with his little sist-
er, was dressing beside the fire in
the kitchen range, when, without a
moments warning, the boiler of the
heating attachment exploded and the
Lad was horribly mutilated, living
but a short time after the accident.
The fire department and a physi-
clan were summoned to the Collins
home, 412. Thirteenth street south,
but the efforts Of the latter to save
the boys life were OF no*ayail.
The cause of the explosion was the
freezing OF the water pipes between
the tank and the heating coils in the
kitchen range during tn night. In
the morning a fire was built in the
stove, and as there was no way for
the steam to escape, the coil burst
with terrific force, tearing out the en-
tire front Of the stove, and scattering
pieces Of metal and scalding water
over the room.
The force Of the explosion was
very great. The range was demolish-
ed and large piece of metal was
driven through the ceiling and small
pieces imbedded in the woodwork
and plaster. Live Goals were scatter
ed over the floor. but were extinguish
ed before the arrival OF the IRE de-
partment and further damage avoid.
