CASSILL HAS
OWNED UP!

MI. Cassill: II did"
MI. Kittredge: Glow much?"
Mr.. Cassill: That is not mate
rial"
Mr.. Kittredge: "When did such
salary begin and when did it end?"
Mr.. Cassill: "That is not mate
rial"
Mr.. Kittredge: What was the
consideration of the salary you re-
ceiyed as vice president of the Sioux
Falls Saving bank?"
Mr.. Cassill: Ion cou of put
ting on deposit state funds in that
bank"
Mr.. Kittredge: Did you draw
money as interest on state funds di-
rect?"
Mr.. Cassill: II did"
Mr.. Kittredge: From what source
and in what amount?"
Mr.. Cassill: THAT is not mate
RIAL"
At the end of the cross examination
Mr.. Cassill replied that he would pay
back the interest he taken If his pre-
decessors did the same thing. In
reply to that statement Senator Kit
tredge rebuked the state treasurer in
the following:
Whether or not your predecessors
in office received compensation
through interest, or as vice presidents
OF banks, is not within my knowl-
edge. You have admitted in the pres
ence of these people that you have
taken interest on state funds and re-
celved a salary as vice. president of
a bank for a consideration of putting
on deposit state funds, which.the law
OF our state declares unlawful. This
afternoon we are dealing with you
and the matter of your candidacy for
reelection. If you are willing to
pay 1T back, as you confess it would
be right to do, you should do it and
should have done it Independent of
what somebody else may do or may
have done"
This is the brand of reform that
the insurgent republicans expect to
have endorsed at the polls tomorrow.
1t is the kind, howevre, which the
people will reject.

cAssILL TOOK INTEREST
State Treasurer Admits Having TAX
EN- the Interest OH State
Funds for Himself.

Senator Kittredge delivered an ad-
dress at moe, in Lincoln county, Sat-
urday afternoon and in the course of
his remarks referred to the matter
of State Treasurer Cassill taking in
terest on the state funds. MI. Kit
tredge stated that he understood
that Mr.. Cassill, who was present in
the audience that afternoon, had
promised the people Of Lincoln county
two years ago, when he was a can
dtdate for that Office, he would not
profit thereby except in the matter of
his salary which the law entities him
to draw.
Mr.. Cassill arose in the audience
and denied that he made any such
statement to the people of Lincoln
county.
This gave Senator Kittredge an
opening to ask some questions on
corning the allegation that State
Treasurer Cassill had been taking in
terest on the state funds. The re-
port of the c%olloquy is taken from the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, and is as
follows:

Old Soldiers and Relief Corps to Meet
i'll the Beautiful Black
Hills City.

Hot Springs, June 9.-The coming
annual encampment of the South
Dakota G. A. r. and w. R. G.. to be
held in Hot Springs on the 23rd, oath
and 25th of this month will be the
grandest affair of the kind ever held
in the state. Information received
concerning the attendance of the vet
Grams and their friends at this en-
campment warrants this statement,
as it does also the extensive prepara-
lions o being made by the men,
bers of the G. A. r., the w. r. c.,
and the city council for the enter
tainment of the people. Efforts in
this direction will be pushed to the
limit, to the end that the visitors
may enjoy one of the best times Of
their lives and have no Just cause
for adverse criticisms and that mem
cries of this encampment in after
years may be recalled with pleasure
only by its participants.
The assurance of half fare by the
railroads for all those attending the
encampment will bring the old vets
and their friends to Hot Springs by
the train load, not from South Da-
kota, but from adjoining states also.
Good speakers will be in attend
ance among whom now may be men
toned the names of Ex-Governor
Van Zandt, of Minnesota and General
Wood, of Chicago. Announcement
of others will be made later. AS at
fractions aside from the natural
beauty Of location and environment
OF Hot Springs, the State Soldiers
Home and the Battle Mountain San
itarium offer special attraction for
the veterans. Here they may renew
the old scenes and army beans, and
fight their battles ore. and the cheer
full greeting and cordial handshaks
OF the visitors will inject new life
into many vets now sad and discour-
aged. Such an opportunity will not
occur again for many years in South
Dakota, and that means 'snever'' for
many Of The veterans.

and will be properly seated and ar
ranged for the G.. A. r. meetings and

Winter Absence.

Senator Hansbrough has introduced
two bills which if allowed to become
laws, will make it easy for homesteaders.
The first one relative to leave of alb:
sence during the four winter months is
substantially as follows. mo home
stead entry shall he Cancelled and no
final proof be rejected because of any
failure of the entrymen named therein
to hereafter actually reside upon the
lands covered by his entry during the
months of December. January, February
and March, or any portion of such
months. Provided that nothing in this
Act shall be construed as to relieve
homestead entrymen of the duty of res.
idence during the months not herein
named, and the period of absence prov
ided for in this Act shall be computed
to apply upon the period of residence
required under existing law
The second bill provides that "Any
person who has heretofore made, or
may hereafter make, entry under the
homestead laws but who, through no
fault of his own, was unable to perfect
the entry, and who shall show to the
satisfaction of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office that he had made
bona fde effort to comply with the
homestead law and that he did not re-.
linquish his entry or abandon his claim
for consideration, shall be entitled to
the be neft of the homestead laws as
though such former entry had not been
made. Communion proof shall not be
allowed of any entry made under this
act"

Armov Building

"A representative meeting of business
men was held at the Commercial club
rooms last Saturday evening to hear re.
ports and discuss matters pertaining to
the new armory building, which is rap
idly nearing completion.
One of the important matters for con-
sideration was the proposition to extend
the balcony six feet in the drill hall, thus
making it possible to seat some $50 per-
sons in the spectators row in place of
about IS if left as originally planned
Architect Bloom gave it as his opinion
that the building was strong enough in
every way to carry the extra load, and
Capt. Osborn stated that it would not i'm
pair the efficiency of the assembly room
for military practice other than in looks
7e thought the ceiling under the bal
cony would detract some from the ap-
pearance of the hall. The added ex-
pense would be s325, and he was satis-
fed to have the extension made if the
people were willing to meet the addi-
tional amount. .
DIR. Stickney, Mr.. Richards and others
expressed willingness to see that the
extra cost was met and unanimous vote
was taken, authorizing the building COM
mittee to 60 ahead with the work.
This will leave the assembly room "a
feet in the clear, the total length of the
hall being 81 feet, by So feet wide.
Capt. Osborn reported that 5000 had
been paid the contractors, as agreed.
The original subscription list was 5000,
and Mr.. Osborn figured that $4,125 was
still needed in direct subscriptions. The
state will furnish 5000 and good friend
of the armory project of this city will fur.
nish loan of $1,000, making the neces.
sary total of s23,325. During the even.
ing, $500 was subscribed and since then
the committee has swelled the amount to
about $1,000, and it should not take long
to complete the canvass and place all Of
the money in the hands of the treasurer

Rejoice
LEAVE OF ABSENCE

On Tuesday the Washington dis
patches announced that Senator H. c.
Hansbrough had been successful in pass
ing his leave of absence bill calculated
to benefit homesteaders in Western
North Dakota. :
The dispatch says: The bill granting
leave of absence during December, JAM
uary, February and March to homestead
entrymen was passed by the senate to-
day.
The provisions of the bill, which will
also probably pass the house in due
course, provides: That no homestead
entry shall be cancelled and no final

failure of the entryman named therein
to hereafter actually reside upon the
lands covered by his entry during the
months of December, January, February
and March, or any portion of such
months: Provided, That nothing in thi.
act shall be so constructed as to relieve
homestead entrymen of the duty oi
residence during the months not herein
named, and the period of absence pro
vided for in this act shall be computed
to apply upon the. period of residence
required under existing law.
SECOND ENTRY
Another dispatch on the same day
announced the following good news:
Congressman Gronna called up yester
day and had passed his bill providing fol
second homestead entries. The bill will
undoubtedly pass the senate. 1t will
bring relief to large number Of home
seekers who, through one cause or an
other. have exhausted their homestead
rights and lost their land through error
