the romantic history of a Southern
girl which was related to her by one
of these friends. Perhaps it is this
underlying vein of truth and reality
in the play that has given it such
vital force. But whatever the cause
the fact remains that Under South
ern Skies" is one of the best paying
attractions on the road today. Large
and enthusiastic audiences are the
rule wherever it is presented and this,
it's eighth season, finds it enjoying
greater popularity than ever. An
unusually large cast, twenty-three peo-
pie, is employed in the presentation
of the play. the stage settings are life
like reproductions of the scenes in
the Sunny South, and a Halloween
celebration is reproduced, which sur
passes anything of the kind ever
seen on the stage.

"UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES"

Under Southern Skies which ap-
pears in this city on next Tuesday
evening, December s, is one of the
series of plays by Lottie Blair Park
err which protrays life in different
sections of our country. The first,
depicting New England life was call
ed "Way Down East" The second
one, Under Southern Skies" was first
copyrighted as Way Down South"
1t was produced in London at Messrs.
Gatti & Frohman's theatre on October
20, 1901, undtr tht caption "Way
Down South or Under Southern
Skies" In this country, although
known under both titles. Under South
ern Skies" has finally come to be used
exclusively, as sub-titles are not so
much in favor as a single name.
Under Southern Skies" now stands
without a rival as a picture of South
ern life. Mrs. Parker Is thoroughly
familiar with Southern people. their
customs and manner of thought, and
some Of her closest friends have been
Southerners. Mrs. Parker says that
Under Southern Skies" has a founda-

A BIG SALE OF FINE CATTLE
A. Y. Sweesy's Timber City Herd Of
Red Polled Cattle Goes to Hide
wood Valley Farm, Dakota.

On Monday occurred n of the
largest blooded cattle sales which has
been made around here in a number
OF months. For a consideration of
$S,OOO.OO A. Y. Sweesy sold his
Timber City Herd of Registered Red
Polled cattle to the lakewood Farm
Co., of Clear Lake, South Dakota. To-
gether with the Royal Herd, this col
lection of cattle has represented the
best of the breed in all this section
and this sale leaves Maquoketa and
vicinity barren of Red Polled herds
for the first time in many years.
For over 20 years, Maquoketa has
enjoyed the reputation of being the
Red Polled center of the United States.
The American Red Polled Herd book
has been published here since the first
introduction Of these cattle into this
country and more premiums have been
won by Red Polled cattle from the
herds in this vicinity at state, inter-
state and national fairs than in all
the rest of the United States combin-
ed. The Timber City herd was found
ed from importationS of cattle made
by j. c.. Murray for the Royal herd
and as it was the next Oldest herd
founded here and has been cOmmingled
with the Royal herd during a quarter
of a century, it has enjoyed an en-
viable reputation in the show rings of
the middle west.
The HidewOod Valley Farm Co.,
UnC.t, is composed of Perry f. Loucks
of Watertown, S. ID. and Daniel X.
Loucks of Clear Lake, S. d., and these
gentlemen apparently know good cat
tie when they see them. In the lot
for which the Messrs. Loucks parted
with so much of their good money,
there yer fifty-eight cattle-eighteen
bulls and forty COWS and heifers, in
GLIDING Chicago No. 6425. the head of
the herd, an importation from the Roy
al herd, and Lady Dewitt No. 6092,
a splendid COW which came from De.
Witt but whose dam was from the
Royal herd. The cattle were shipped
Tuesday and will doubtlesshe Up in
improving the beef cattle of that part
of Dakota for many years to come.
Messrs. Perry F. Loucks and C. E.
Edwards, both Of WATERFOWL, came
down Monday morning to su%perintend
the shipping of the cattle. Having
missed their railway connections in
Clinton. they chartered an automobile
and came yer in style.
Not content with taking all these
good cattle out Of the country, Mr..
Loucks went out Tuesday to see Otto
Battles champion herd of Aberdeen
Angus cattle and was so impressed
with the looks Of his herd and with
Glenfoil Thickset ii, that he purchased
three Of his calves, one bull and one
other Doodle" bull, with which to
start a herd Of this popular breed on
his ranch. AS might be supposed,
Otto is finding a rapid sale for all of
his Thickset youngsters. Only a few
days previous to Mr.. Loucks' pur-
chase, he had sold three bull calves
to go to Butte, Mont. There's one

LOCALS LOSE BOTH GAMES

American Forw lost both games
"Wednesday TO ProyQ. They were
good games, and especially the
first one, which was the best seen
here this season. The regretable
feature of the games was the alb
sence of the fans. Although the
attendance was fair the boys We're
entitled to double the attendance.
The first game was won by
Provo, the score being 2 to /.
The second game was a hard
fought one. At the end of the
eighth inning the score was 3 to 6
in favor of American Fork. Then
the locals, by errors, let the visi-
tors make four runs in the ninth,
the score being 7 to 8, But it was
good ball playing just the same.
There will be another game next
Wednesday between Lehi and
American Fork on the home dia-
mond. The game will be called at
3 80 sharp and large crowd is
expected.

Entrymen During Twenty-Six
Years Have Built States---

receiver, OF the United States land Of
fee at this point, are busy closing up
the business and will turn all books,
records, etc. owe to the officers or the
office at Pierre, with which it is TO be
consolidated on April /, according TO an
order OF the secretary of the interior.
The Huron office was opened October
8, 1882.
First Entry &c Years Ago.
For three days and nights prior to
the date of opening a throng of at
least 500 settlers crowded the street In
front of the office, many of them re-
tanning their places during an eight
hour pouring rain. William t. Love
vas the first entryman and he won the
distinction by holding onto the door
handle for 80 hours straight. That was
26 years ago., when that portion of the
state-then territory-from the east line
OF Beadle county west to tire Missouri
river was practically unsettled and
barren.
The first register of the Huron land
office was George b. Armstrong, a Chi
cago newspaper man. The first receiver
was Robert Lowry, of Davenport, la.
He brought with him as clerk S. II.
Plummer, also OF Davenport, and still
a resident of this city.
The volume of business done by these
gentlemen the first year was simply
marvellous; the cash receipts of the of
flee amounted to more than 81, 900, 900,
and when IN inspector, u~nannounced,
came to check up" the office not one
cent was unaccounted for-every ac-
count balanced.
Only One Man ~Reappointed.
Messrs. Lowry and Armstrong were
succeeded in office by w. N. McFar'
land, Of Chicago, and Ezra w. Miller.
Of Elk Point. S. D., who held office
through the first Cleveland administra-
ton. They were succeeded by James
Mcdowell, of Highmore, and O.. w.
Blair. of Huron, who in turn were sue
ceeded by John NJ. Davis, of Huron,
and Austin d. Hill, of Miller, under
Cleveland's second administration
President Mckinley, to succeed these
gentlemen, appointed Charles A. Blake
as register and John Westdahl as re-
ceiver. Mr.. Blake was reappointed reg
lister at the end OF his first term and
Mr.. Westdahl was succeeded by Har-
vey j. Rice of this city. Mr.. Blake is
the only man who received a second
I appointment during the history of the
office and he has served as register 10
years.
