there was nothing doing, but Silver

them all on the: carpet and talked real
nice to: them. and told them, if they
were not good he would slap them on

the county $4,000. Then he made a.
trip UP the Edmore branch because he
had heard that they were cutting-up

great deal of Sir Conan Doyal and his

THE NEW BAND
HIRES LEADER
Organization Fully Perfected and
Band Begins Work i'm
Earnest

AT a meeting Of the newly organ
lied band in the city hail Tuesday
evening, it was decided to engage
the services of Mr. Lamos. leader of
the Highmore band, for one day
each week. He will come down from
Highmore Friday mornings, give
about seventeen private lessons dur
ing the day to beginners, and in the
evening meet with the entire band
to direct their practice.
Mr. Lamos will be paid so a trip
for his services, the money to come
from popular subscription taken
up among the business men of the
city.
This action Of the band in hiring
leader will no doubt prove very
beneficial to them, as it is impossible
for an organization of this kind to
accomplish anything without an ac-
knowledged head. In addition to
this is the fact that Mr. Lamos has
done some very good work with the
Highmore band in the shorl time he
has been with them.
The new band will probably con-
tain about thirty pieces, making it
nearly twice the size of the cornet
band of few years ago.

.KAMMEL HELD ON
MURDER CHARGE
Justice Binds Him Over Tilt
Spring Term of Circuit
Court

The preliminary hearing of Gus
tave Kammel, charged with the mur-
der of his wife, began Thursday
before Justice Heltibridle and lasted
until Saturday, when the defendant
was bound over until the April term
of Circuit Court. The prosecution
was conducted by States Attorney
II. J.. Bushfield, and the defence by
j. H. Pusey. c. M. Dwyer acted rs
interpreter for the defendant, who
doesn't speak English, and Adam
Mcmahon as stenographer. Prof.
Whitehead, a chemist of Brookings
College, was present and testified
that the oatmeal taken from Mrs
Kammel's stomach contained arsenic
the same as was found on the pack
age of oatmeal. Other evidence
showed that the defendant had bru-
tally misused his wife for many
years, making serious threats
against both her and the son, who
was also poisoned from the oatmeal,
but he recovered.
While the evidence was all purely
circumstantial. it was considered
strong enough to hold the accused
until the spring term of circuit
court. when the case will be tried be.

Until that time Kammel will be
retained in the county Jail

good business; but I'll leave it to the
crowd to say whether the country's
foreign grain trade isn't healthier
state than its trade in steel or agri-
cultural implements. And does not
real prosperity" consist in healthy.
normal trade conditions. rather than
in the morbid, overstimulated condi-
tlons of manipulated markets? The
West thinks so.
/ 1t isn't necessary to go into the
whole case of Western industry, in
| detail, in order to understand the
drift of things. An analysis of the
matter of land values will suffice.
The problem has few and simple
/ terms:
If the land and its products do in
deed form the chief stock-in-tr of
this region, then a boosting of land
values would naturally be one of the
first and surest signs of disposition
to BOOM"
Well. these land values have been
and still are going up. Now, how
far may they go before they get to
the point of fictitious initiation? The
answer to that seems plain enough.
As amatter of fact. the average
of prairie farmland valuations is
now just about as high as it was
twenty years ago, when the boom"
was an indisputable thing. No good,
well-situated farm in the Missouri
Valley is to be bought today for less
than hundred dollars per acre; and
those lying handy to the market
towns range sharply higher in price.
And the demand for improved farms
at present prices is unceasing.
! But times have changed since the
eighties changed nightly. 1t may
now fairly be said that. to all intents
and purposes, the old West has pass
ed away and new West has taken
its place. This relates particularly
to the business of farming the prair-
les. New standards have been set
through achievements undreamed of
in the boom" DAYS. To use badly
overworked phrase, farming has be-
come a science. The old-time farm
.er groprd around in the dark. He
was a fatalist at heart. He sowed
blindly. and his harvest was made
abundant or blasted by the whims of
the gods of the earth and air. If he
