Is Not a Melodrama.

Should you go to the theater in ex-
pectation of seeing tumble of So
called "pathos and merriment" and
sensational melodrama, you won't see
it in the college Boy" that comedy
with music coming here Saturday
evening. There is no wronged heroine
or deserted daughter. No one is killed
on buzz saw or thrown over the
bridge. And there is no mother-in.law.
Just music, laughter and song-and
fun, fast and furious, and plenty of it.
The characters are all comedy parts
and comedy is the predominating SEN
timent. OF course there is a love
story. Who ever heard Of play with
out it? And .the story is natural and
unaffected without the usual senti-
mental trash. Clever specialties are
introduced and the songs are new
every one.

Totten. They had heavy load o.
corn and Mr.. Totten was driving.

wheel with enough force to fracture
his skull. A place about the size of 3
dollar was mashed in the back of his
head and some bruises were found OF
his body and limbs.
The boy was at once placed in q
buggy and brought to town as fast
as possible. He was taken to the

the element of vulgarity and coarse
ness often found in similar organiza-

inal college Boy" and the same that
delighted theater goers for three con-
secutive seasons, and was seen in Nor
folk two seasons ago. 1t is the Satur-

Prior to the selection of homesteads

Office that the townsites will be
marked out by Judge Witten before
the close of the current month, and II
is expected that the state authorities
of South Dakota will make their
wishes known as to school selections
ut an early day.
1t was said at the general land office
today that those who in the lottery
drew successful numbers cannot under
any circumstances assign their draw
ings to another person with the ex-
ception of "old soldiers" who may
have a duly leglized proxy rmed
with a power of attorney. If any per-
son who has been successful in the
drawing does not appear he will sim
ply be dropped out and the next named
called. The absentee, however, is
given the privilege of an opportunity
at the close of business to appear and
take a shot at what may be left over,
and, furthermore, if the successful
holder in the lottery fails to appear at
all before the final cose of alloting
he will forfeit all rights under the orig
inal drawing.
Another point which IS important to
those who were successful in the
drawings is that the government does
not provide a locating agent to as
sist them to stake out their farms.
After September /, 1909, all undis-
posed lands in the Trip county open
ing will be sold under the customary
homestead law at $3.50 per acre.
