ton, which is 10 be held at Armour

10 attract a large attendance from
other states, and it is believed plans
for extending the work vii be adopt
ed. This is made necessary by the
opening OF a vast amount of new
country west of the Missouri. n 1t IS
quite possible the convention will de-
eide to put several more e~vangelists
in the field.
Among those who will deliver ad-
dresses at the convention will be
Quincy Lee Morrow. George Muckley
of Kansas City. +. T. c. Bennett or

SAY MEN SHOT STOCK.
Two Homesteaders Are Bound Over
to Answer to Charge.

Two Homesteaders Are Bound Over
to Answer to Charge.
Howard and Horace Hamlin, home
steaders near Wokama, have been
bound over to answer to the chargo
Of shooting stock. it being alleged that
they shot a number Of cattle belonging
to F. E. Olney, n OF the old-time
ranchers of that part Of the state.
The chances are that there will be
a great deal Of friction between stock
men and homesteaders in that county
this summer. They do not get a vote
on that question in Stanley until No
vember, and in the meantime cattle
will run at large. The homesteaders
crops will be tempting to them, and
this Is certain to cause trouble, as the
homesteader does not fancy seeing
his years work swept up in a few
hours by a hungry herd of cattle,
with no legal remedy at his hand to
secure protection.
Before another year, h stockman
will be the man who will have TO bear
the brunt Of trespass, if the voters
Of the county are given an opportunity
to express themselves at the polls.

sue No More Permits.
The board OF county commissioners
and the game warden of Aurora cou
ty have declared war upon persons
who are openly violating the state law
protecting fish and prohibiting SEEMING
in the streams and ponds Of the pari-
Gus counties. The county commits
sioners have adopted a resolution pro-
hibiting any member of the board
from granting to any person a permit
to use a net in any Of the streams and
ponds of the county. Under the law
permits can be issued only by mem
bers of boards of county commission
ers or the county game wardens. 1t
is probable that boards of commits
sioners in other counties OF the state
where complaints are made in refer
ence to unlawful SEEMING will adopt
a similar method OF putting a stop
to the practice.

SEEKS ROBBERS "CAcHE."
Quest for Buried Treasure Is Expect
ed to Reveal So. 1000 in Gold.

A resident of Charles Mix county
who does not wish his name made
public is engaged In an interesting
search for buried treasures, and is
quite hopeful that he will succeed in
finding a cache" Of $4,000 in gold
coin, which Is alleged to have been
deposited in the ground years ago.
In the spring of 1885 a daring bank
robbery took place at Norfolk. Neh-
The robbers are alleged to have Sc
cured the $4,000 in gold coin. A posse
soon was on the track of the robbers,
who are alleged to have crossed the
Missouri river to South Dakota. Hard
pressed, they decided, it Is said, to
cache" their. loot, and buried the
gold near the roots of a lone tree,
which was supposed to stand at a
point about three miles north OF the
Conger ranch.
The land upon which the gold Is sup
posed to be hidden now belongs to a
Yankton Sioux Indian, but he has
given his consent to the search being
made. after being given a liberal sum
by the man who hopes to find the
gold.

Queen Sofia has removed to Ulriks-

months.
h agricultural department has
sent out information that a certain
kind Of adulterated meal has been
widely distributed throughout Sweden.
h adulteration was SO we'll conceal
ed that none but experts would de-
tect it.
The demonstrations and festivities
on LabO day were on a grand scale in
the cities of Sweden this year. Espo-
cially in Stockholm was the day cele-
brated in imposing fashion, the num-
Der of participants being exceedingly
large and their conduct admirable.
The pupils of the public schools OF
Stockholm sent an address of cOngrat-
ulations TO Henri Dunant of Switzer
land on the occasion of his eightieth
birthday. Dunant is a we'll known adj
vocate Of peace and has been awarded
tiiS A>obtl pllLV. Inc duuleSS WdO
signed by 10000 school children.
King GuStaf has been named an ad-
miral OF the Russian army and EN-
peror Nicholas has been named an ad-
miral of the Swedish army. This ex-
change of courtesies between the
two nations indicates a growing
friendliness. and tends to make the
Swedish people forget the recent
trouble over the Aaland islands.
King Gustaf arrived at Berlin May
81 to pay a visit to the kaiser. He
was received at the railway station by
the German ruler and other members
Of the German royalty, who seemed
anxious to demonstrate their good will
toward the Swedish king. The thor
oughfare along which the royal pro-
cession passed from the station to the
palace had been lavishly decorated in
honor of the royal guest. and the Ger
man people. like the royalty. showed
their friendship for him.
The fact that King Gustaf was ao-
companied by the Swedish minister
for foreign affairs has led to the belief
that his visit was Of political signifi-
canoe, especially in view Of the fact
that 1t preceded his visit to the King
Of Denmark, whom, according to preo-
edent, he ought to have visited first.
Why his majecty~ departed from prece-
dent is a question that, needless to
say, has aroused much interest in
both Sweden and Denmark. and we
shall probably hear something in ref.
erence TO this later.

MOST STUDENTS DEFIANT,
Testimony Isn't Easy to Get Regard
ing Their Voting Election Day.

ing Their Voting Election Day.
Twenty-eight students of Dakota
Wesleyan have given their testimony
before a referee appointed by Judge
Smith Of the circuit court, wherein
the legality Of the election of the al,
derman Of the First ward Of Mitchell
is questioned on account Of his
election having been accomplished
through the student vote of the uni,
versity. Most Of the students de-
clined to answer the questions that
are put to them touching their vote
on election day, and some Of them
make full replies.
AS a general thing those who tes-
tilted stated that they are attending
the university for the purpose of Sc
curing an education, and that they
have no definite purpose as to their
whereabouts after they leave college,;
that they are furnished with money
by their porents to pay their way
through college. and that they spend
their vacations away from this city,
returning in the fall to resume their
studies at college.
1t Is claimed that the students are
not legal voters in the city. and the
present effort is to show that their
votes should not be counted for the
election Of the alderman. and to lay
the ground for the beginning of a suit
that already has been started TO settle
the proposition of the license question.
This will be taken up later and I'M
doubtedly will be carried to the SUI
preme court for a decision
way the decision of the court is rem
dered. An adjournment Of the pres
n hearing was taken until after the
primary election.
