"UNCLE TOM" COMING.

Stetson's $4,000 production of
Uncle Toms Cabin Is booked for
two performances at the Park opera
house for matinee and might Satur-
day, February 1. There is something
about Uncle Tom that appeals to all,
both young and old. refined or
coarse. the educated or uneducated.
1t Is the SAVIOR of the soil, the ap-
proval of nature which attracts, and
1t must be admitted, even by the
blase amusement-seeker that Uncle
Toms Cabin" when produced in the
grand manner in which the Stetson
performances are always launched,
possess charm to be found in no
other form of theatrical entertain
ment. Yet, like everything else in
this progressive age, Stetsons Uncle
Tom has improved with time, and
each year brings out fresh novelties,
new features. pleasing effects. With
such an elegant and complete or
ganization as the Stetson company
with almost unlimited capital at it's

drama which has been seen much of

SEVEN REMARKABLE SENATORS

Washington, Jan. 29.-In the last
row of the senate on the Democratic
side of the senate chamber sit seven
men who are, in many ways. the
most remarkable who ever wore a
toga. There is Gore of Oklahoma, the
first totally blind senator, and his
colleague, Owen. descendant of Cher
okee Indian chiefs. There is the
youngest senator. Bryan of Florida,
and the oldest, Whyte of Maryland,
with half century between them,
although they sit side by side. There
Is "Flddling Bob" Taylor of Ten
nessee, who fiddled his way into the
senate, and Dankhead of Alabama,
who ran for the house and landed in
his present august position. Last,
but not least among that illustrious
seven, is jefferson Davis of Arkan-
sas, sworn foe of the ''plutes" and
the democratic Demosthenes of the
most maligned state of the Union.

The liquor question has become 8
live one in England and 1t is proposed
to introduce an exceedingly drastic
license bill. While the measure does
, not meet all the demands of the tenn
perance party. it is sufficiently dras-
tic as to have aroused the organized
opposition of all the liquor dealers
brewers and distillers of the king
dom. The liquor interests are very
powerful in England and they may
depend upon the House of Lords re-
jecting the bill or emasculating 1t to
such an extent as to render 1t void.
The bill, as originally formulated,
will provide for a modified form of
local option after a specified period.
The educational bill. long a bone
of contention between the two
houses. will be thrown out by the
Lords. The Scottish land valuation
and land bills. relntroduced after be-

will again be thrown out. These
and other matters brought to the at
tention of the Lords, and which will
certainly be rejected by them, will
send the government into the gen.
eral election next year with a good
ense against the upper house of the
British parliament.
The members of the house of COM
mons are determined to do all the
work possible during the coming six
months and viii hold frequent long
night sessions. If the popular meas
ures presented are nullified by the
Lords, it will only serve to add to
the popular clamor for the abolition
of the upper house.
The opening of the session today
was accompanied by all the tradi-
tional pomp and ceremony. King
Edward was accompanied by Queen
Alexandria. the Prince and Princess
of Wales and other members of the
royal family, and were greeted in the
chamber by the usual gath
ering of dignitaries. The king ana
queen will leave about the first of
next month for their annual spring
cruise, the royal yacht having been
ordered In readiness at that time.
The king will stop at Biarritz, but
the queen will proceed to Athens to
visit her brother. the Greek King.

London. Jan. 29.-What promises
to be highly important and critical
session of the British parliament, the
third under the premiership of Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman con-
| vened today with the customary OBJ
servances. The Irish question, the
education bill, licensing, old age pen-
sion and the budget demands of the
army and navy are the principal sub
jects likely to come up for considera-
ton and debate during the session.
The session was opened by King
Edward.
In the matter of expenditures for
the army and navy, the economists
and the expansionists have apparent
ly agreed upon compromise, which
will result in a retrenchment for the
benefit of this years budget, bus
will involve greatly increased ap-
preparation next year. The expan-
sionists are advocating an increase of
$3,000.O00 pounds sterling in the
naval estimates, to meet the German
proposals, an additional million for
the army and a similar increase for
education, involving an increase over
last year of 100000 pounds or
nearly $5O,OOO.0O0. In case the ex-
pansion plans are carried out. a fur
ther increase of 25,000.000 pounds
or 100000 will be required next
year. If a policy of retrenchment is
decided on this year. 1t must be with
a promise of greatly increased naval
expenditures for 1909. The partisan
press is already raising the cry OF
the German bugaboo and popular
clamor Is taking 1t up and raising a
formidable agitation against the gov
ernment.
There is a wide difference of opin-
ion among tAe naval experts in re-
gard to the Edgar and Boadicea types
OF cruiser and on many other plans
for strengthening. the fleet. and the
economists urge this as the principal
GUS naval expenditures until the
mooted questions have been salts
factorily settled.
In the matter of legislation. Irish
affairs are certain to come up for
consideration. The oppo-
sition is threatening to provoke dis
cussion of the governments Irish
policy. If such a course is decided
on. 1t will likely result in many live
ly debates. and will place Irish Sec
retary Birdell on the defensive. with
the result that he will probably be
forced to make a definite statement
Of future policy. The younger Nat
Ionalists are willing and eager for
the fray, and, II opportunity allows,
will turn loose upon parliament a |
very flood of oratory.

WOULDN'T PAY; STATE BARS IT
Burglar Insurance Company to Be
Cast Out BY S. D.

Because 1t took advantage Of a
technality to refuse to pay $1,270 OF
burglar insurance to the Peoples
Bank OF Canova, the Maryland Casual
ty company will lose its right to do
business in South Dakota.
When burglars blew the safe of the
Canova bank Nov. Z last, application
was made for payment of the bur-
glary insurance policy written on the
bank. The policy was for $4,000,
and the thieves obtained $4,000 in
cash from the safe and did $500 Of
damage to the building. Thus the
bank confidently expected, it would
receive $1,000 on the policy.
When the adjuster arrived, Cashier
the banks books said were in the
safe, but which had been concealed
in the vault outside the safe, and
thereby saved. The adjuster then
asked in what part of the bank safe
the silver had been put, remarking
formed the silver had been put in the
upper compartment. The bank vas
then informed it could not recover
for the silver, amounting to $1,270,
because it had not been put in the
| inner safe in the bottom compart-
ment. Attorneys upheld the company,
though expressing the opinion that
the policy was obscure.
o. s. Basford, commissioner of in
surance, advised the bank that suit
could not be brought in this state,
because the Maryland Casualty com
ny had not made a deposit of $780,
, with the state, as required by
V. The company, it was stated,
Jtained a year ago a license to do
casualty business, for which no de-
post is required. Nevertheless, the
company did business in burglary in
! surancc, written from the outside.
BY writing business from outside
the state, the company also avoided
the South Dakota law taxing insur-
ance companies 2 1-2 per cent of their
premium receipts in the state.
Commissioner Basford says the
company will receive no kind of a
license this year to do business in
South Dakota.

MUCH ALLoTTINo WORK rs DONE
Cheyenne River Opening Preparations
Are MYRIAD.

Alotting Agent Dietz is again on
the Cheyenne River Indian reserva-
ton making preparations for the work
OF the coming summer. A number
OF allotments have to be made TO
married women, each of whom is en-
titled to 800 acres, and to children,
each of whom get 100 acres. Then
there will be the changes TO be made
in locations, which will take time.
While the time is coming when all
the unallotted land on that r~eserva-
ton will be opened to settlement, it
will be several years before every
thing is cleared for that purpose.
AS an indication of what can be
looked for, the action of the business
council OF that reservation in a re-
cent meeting was to grant thirteen
applications of Indians who desired
to transfer from other agencies to the
Cheyenne agency. and to grant a
number OF others TO Indians from
that reservation who desired to re-
move to some other reserve. One APP
plication to come upon the Cheyenne
reservation was denied. Besides this,
a half dozen more asked permission
to change their locations, which was
granted. This kind of changing is
continually going on, and each of
them means time in changing allot-
ments. At the same meeting new of,
ficers of the council for the coming
year were selected, Paul Crow Eagle
being selected president and Allen
c. Fielder secretary.
The indications Of improvement i
conditions is the telephone systeT
which is being established to cove
the principal points on the e
ton. A line already has been COM
pleted from Cherry Creek sub-agency
to Thunder along the west line of the
reserve. and another from the main
agency is finished to White Horse and
being butt from there to Thunder
Butte by way of Tree Camp, which
will give a circuit connecting all the
principal points with the main
agency.

No One to "sis on the iid.v

delegated to either Secretary Root
or Secretary Taft, but has some
times been assumed by other mem
bers of the cabinet. For some unex.
planned reason IL was not done this
year, and it has happened that the
highest official Of the government on

has been an assistant secretary to
one of the executive departments.

~oRY FARMING" FOR eUMeo LAND
State Engineer of South Dakota En-.
thusiastic,

State Engineer Lea has returned
from the dry farming congress- at
Salt Lake City. where he met a strong
delegation which was ready to show
what could be done with that manner
of farming in a country with a light
rainfall.
Mr.. Lea Is an enthusiast over irriga.
ton and dry farming" and believes
that with the two systems there is no
reason why South Dakota should not
support a dense farming population,
using the irrigation plan where it is
convenient and not too expensive, and
the dry farming process where the Sc
curing of water for irrigation is not
practicable.
A soil with a small percentage of
gumbo naturally lends itself to the
dry farming process, as it makes a
dust blanket of itself when once brok-
en-, and will not require as much labor
to preserve the blanket as will be
found In a loan soil.
