Fined Five Dollars

Last week the federal grand jury
now in session at Sioux Falls in
dicted +. +. Olney on three counts
for obstructing the United States
mail. On Monday of this week
the defendant plead guilty to the
charge, and was fined five dollars
by Judge Garland.
A year or more ago, the mail
carrier was delivering mail at
Olney's ranch a few miles east of
Wokama, got into an alteration
with Olney, which resulted in an
investigation and the arrest of the
defendant. 1t seems that Miss
Olney, the postmistress. was not
expecting the carrier at that time
of his arrival, and so was not ready
to receive the mail. The carrier
refused to wait, or to leave the
mail bags, and was riding away,
when the father overlook him and
forced him to return with the mail.
The attorney for the defendant
claimed that the circumstances
were such that Olney was not
actually in the wrong though he
possibly was guilty of technical

Stock Yards to be Moved

d. ID. Cutler of Chicago, gener-
al live stock agent for the North
western railroad, was a visitor here
Monday. He was on tour of in
spection, in a general way looking
after some of the details of the
largest stock transportation bust
ness in the United States. His
visit here is important from the
fact that it means the immediate
removal of the local stock yards
to a location west of town. Two
surveyors are at work laying out
the new yards up the track west
of North Fork. The actual work
of removal will begin soon. The
probability is that the yards will
be made larger than they are at
present. A dipping tank will also
be constructed.
Since this town was first survey
ed, and the stock yards located
within a stone throw of the depot,
the impression has been general
that the arrangement was short
sighted in the extreme. This is
now to be corrected, and site
chosen that will give greater &C.
commodations to shippers, and
one that will not be an eye-sore to
the town.

The Stockmeetinx at Rapid City

The Western South Dakota
Stockmen's Association was in
conclave at Rapid City Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week. The railroads gave q speci-
al rate of one fare for the round
trip, and an a result all west bound
trains throu6h here have been
crowded with passengers. Rapid
City was host to one of the largest
crowds city of that size was ever
called upon to entertain. Probably
more than two hundred people
we're in attendance from this coun-
ty, among the number being many
prominent stock raisers of the
county as we'll as others not identi-
fed with the stock raising interests,

tunity to visit Rapid City and have

Sioux City Boosters Here

The Sioux City Boosters were
here $50 strong today. During
their brief stay they simply
took possession of the town. The
local business mems associa-
tion threw everything wide open
for the accommodation of their
guests except the calaboose. The
party seem to be having a good
time, and they left an impression
among our people that the metrop-
oils of western Iowa has few live
wires with the insulation we'll worn
Oft. The purpose of the excursion
was well expressed by one men,
ber of the party, who said: I'VE
are not out here so much to get
business as we are to get acquaint-
ed, to look at this brand new coun-
try west of the Missouri river, to
learn of the people here, their re-
quirements and their needs"
Nearly all lines of business in
the Iowa city were represented in
the party, but the large represen-
tation from the banks of that city
was especially noticeable, there be-
ing ten bank officials in the party.
Several officials of the Northwest
ern railway were also in evidence.
The boosters have with them
one of the best musical organiza-
tions of their city. This particular
band was organized more than
thirty years ago, and has accom-
panied the Iowa delegations to all
the national codlentions that have
been held in recent years. 1t il
contributing not little to the sue
cess of the present excursion.

Lower Rates at Last

1t appears that lower freight
rates in western South Dakota
have come ut last. The appended
telegram sent out from Sioux
Falls last Friday indicates that the
commissioners have ordered a
decisive cut in the present sched-
ules. just how much relief this
will afford cannot be determined
until the new tariffs have been
issued.
Since the Northwestern and
Milwaukee commenced operating
their new lines west of the river,
there has been continual complaint
on account of exhorbitant rates.
The roads have delayed action
perhaps purposely, at any rate it
has been difficult to get data upon
which to base regulations. The
commissioners have on that &C
count hesitated to act The first
relief is indicated by the following
telegram.
Sioux Falls, April 1O.-The
South Dakota board of railroad
commissioners today ordered re-
duction in freight rates in western
South Dakota ranging from 10 tc
43 per cent. The greatest reduc-
tion was made in rates on immi.
grant goods and groceries.
While, of course, nothing def.
mite is known at this time, yet it is
unofficially announced here that
the railroad companies will accept
the judgment of the board and put
the reduced rates in effect at once.

The Fort Pierre papers this week
report the death of A. A. Fjelen-
der. The deceased committed
suicide by hanging. He was 81
years of age, native of Sweden,
but had resided 80 years in Illinois
and during the last 3 years of his
life in Stanley county. He prov
ed up on \ claim near Hayes Il
year ago. and since that time has
resided in Fort Pierre. A sad
feature of the death is the fact
that a son of the deceased has be-
come violently insane, and is now
in custody of the authorities.
John A. Buchanan and Miss
Lillian Derby of Midland were
married in Pierre last Wednesday
morning. The wedding was a
quiet affair, only few friends be-
ing present to witness the cere-
mony and partake of the wedding
breakfast served afterwards. The
couple arrived home in Midland
the same day and were welcomed
by great crowd of friends. That
evening an elegant luncheon was
served at the Bastian House, about
thirty guests being present. The
groom is one of the most promis-
ing young inen of Midland and
has many friends in that town and
throughout the county. The bride
lis also we'll known and popular
among great host of friends.
Inc news extends hearty good
wishes to the happy couple.
In speaking of the McLane- Bid
dinger wedding the Stock Growers
News says: The happy couple left
on Monday afternoons train for a
honeymoon trip to the brides old
home in Iowa. Upon their return
they will make their home in
Philip, where they have a fine
residence awaiting them. While
we will be sorry to lose Biddy
from our midst, we feel that our
loss will b Philips gain, and
while we will see less of her than
heretofore We cannot but wish
them that happieness which they
both SO richly deserve.

Farmers are Busy

If one has had no opportunity to
travel over a large part of Stan
ley county lately, he has no idea
of the amount of actual farm work
being done. In the given neigh
borhood the extent of the farming
activities may not seem striking,
but taken the county over it is
amazing. Never before has such
preparation been made for plant
ing crops, and never has there
been such promise of success to
the farmer in this county.
Nearly every day someone drops
into our Office to tell US that they
have forty or eighty acres broken
out. Every newspaper in the
county reflects the farming opera
t;ons in it's neighborhood. OF
course . lot of work being done
nefer gets written up in the news
papers, for there are limits to the
ordinary writer's space. We ap-
pend a few clippings that will best
illustrate what is being done over
the county.
There is q magnificent amount
of breaking being done all around
here. Prairies which used to loom

One of the greatest annoyances and
bothers which one has to put up with
on washday is clothes line which is
constantly twisting, and If the line is
a stiff one the trouble is increased
fourfold. To prevent the line from
twisting hold the ball of rope in the
left hand and wind with the right hand
until the twist appears, then change
the ball to the right hand and twist
with the left hand, and the twist will
disappear. AS soon as another twist
appears change back to the left hand.
Continue to wind in this manner until
the line is all wound up.

Helpful Children.


Children are naturally restless and
inclined to be busy and this activity
Is susceptible of being trained and d.
rected in the right channel. Children
may be taught, when quite young, to
perform light duties, each child having
some particular task, for the accom-
plishment of which he Is responsible
to the parents or guardian. They will
thus learn to bear the yoke Of duty
while young, and the performance Of
their little tasks will become a pleas
ure, bringing them happiness that
is only gained by well.doing. They
will become accu.tomed to work and
responsibility, and will enjoy employ
ment, perceiving that life holds for
them more important business than
that OF simply amusing themselves. In
the fulf1llment Of their appointed tasks
strength Of memory and right bal
ance OF mind may be gained, as well
as stability Of character and system.
The day, with its round of little duties,
calls for thought, calculation, and a
plan of action. As the children be.
come older, still more can be required
OF them, says the New York Weekly.
1t should not be exhaustive labor, nor
should their work be so protracted as
to fatigue and discourage them; but

Labor strengthens both the muscles
and the mind. Mothers make precious
Httle helpers OF their children; and
while teaching them to be useful they
may themselves gain knowledge of
human nature and how to deal with
fresh young beings, and keep their
hearts warm and youthful by contact
with their little ones, and also teach
the little ones to look to them In conf

This daily employment closes the
