TAFT SEES SIGNS OF
 GREAT PROSPERITY
President Predicts Era of BuSi-
 ness Expansion.

San Francisco, Oct. 6. - President Taft received a warm welcome on his arrival here It was his first visit to San Francisco since the disastrous fire here. Replying at Red Bluff to an ad- dress of welcome by Governor Gillett of California, the president said:
 '1 must confess that 1 feel like an Optimist Everywhere in this country I have found evidence of prosperity from Boston to Portland, and if signs do not fail we are upon an era of busi- ness enterprise and expansion that has never been seen in this country before
 with that I would not have you forget that there are certain responsi bilities. We have had evils growing out of our prosperity. Men have seized power by means of accumulation Of wealth and its use in methods that are not legal and cannot be approved by way of monopoly and otherwise.
 "These abuses were brought to the attention of the people in marvellous crusade by my predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, and it is my duty to con- tinue those policies and to enforce them as far as I may and recommend to congress that there be put upon the statute books those laws that shall clinch the progress which was made under him. which he preached and which we all look forward to as per manent condition.
 "Of course we want prosperity, but we wish prosperity in such a way that there shall be an equality of opportu- nifty among the individuals, so that everybody will get his share and that it shall not be confined to a few who mOnopolize the means of production or the means of transportation and thus prevent that equality of distribution which we all like to see"

New York, Oct. 6.-After two years of agitation against race track gam bling in this state. marked by the pas sage of the drastic antibetting bill, generally referred to as the Hart-AG- new bill, it remained for the Brooklyn grand jury to write a new chapter in the crusade when there were handed up in court indictments against the two big Kings county race tracks, three police officials, five private detec- tives and twenty-five bookmakers.
 Among those indicted are the Coney Island and Brooklyn Jockey clubs. charged as corporations with conspir- acy in allowing betting to go on. This involves a number of the most promi- nent supporters of racing in the Unit ed States. w. K. Vanderbilt owns a controlling interest in the Coney Island Jockey club. of which Schuyler l.. Parsons is president.

 The three indicted police officials were arraigned in the Brooklyn county court and pleaded not guilty. War rants for the arrest of the others were issued, and a search for the indicted men was immediately begun.

 "That witnesses whose testimony the directors have heard exhibit as Mrs. Stetson's teaching an erroneous sense of Christian Science. particularly in regard to the application of Chris tian Science to human needs and con GitiOnS.
 That Mrs StetsCn endeavOrs to OK which tends to hinder their moral and spiritual growth.
 "That Mrs. StetsOn endeavOrs to ob- trude herself upon the attention of her students in such manner as to turn their attention away from divine prin- ciple.
 ''That Mrs. Stetson practices and teaches pretended Christian Science contrary to the statement thereof in Science and Health. With Key to the Scriptures,' particularly by treating persons without their request or con sent and by teaching a select body of her students to do likewise.
 That Mrs. StetsOn attempts to con trol and to injure persons by mental means, this being utterly contrary to the teachings of Christian Science.
 "That Mrs. StetsOn has so strayed from the right way as not to be fit for the work of teacher of Christian Sci ence"

Owners of telephone, telegraph and power transmission companies in some sections of the country are reporting considerable damage to poles from the attacks of the common red headed woodpecker, which, with the gradual decrease in number of trees, has come to look upon the poles as a legitimate place for the building of a nest. The excavation for the nest, which is usual ly three inches in diameter and five or six inches deep, not only weakenS the pole by so much, but the nest becomes a point where the rotting process sets in. Attempts which have been made to stop the work of the birds by filling the nest with stones has made a bad matter worse, as they usually proceed to excavate another nest adjacent to the old one and thus enlarge the cavi- ty. A soaking of the poles in creosOte has proved quite effective, but this in- wolves larger expense than most com panies are at present willing to stand.

Town health officers should inquire more carefully than is customary into the practice followed by many slaugh- Ter house prOprietors of hauling the carcasses of animals which have died of one disease or another to the hog pens and allowing the pOrkers which are to furnish the people of the com munity with toOthsome pork chops and sausages to devour the diseased and often germ laden flesh from the dead animals bones. This might be all right for Fiji islanders or PatagonianS, but it is too much for the stOmachS of supposedly civilized Americans, at least when they know of it. Federal authorities have cleaned up the big packing houses. It is about time the same thing were done with the small town slaughter houses by state and focal authorities. It doesn't make mat tcrs better if this practice is followed only with hogs that are shipped to the biz packing centerS, as this is merei' a transference of the proposition from pork chops and sausage to ham anC bacon, which the customer of the local shop eats few months later.

PRONOUNCED GUILTY
IN FEDERAL COURT
High Financier, Who Carried

ing out but a few hours the Jury in the

Prominent points brought out in the
trial were that Cantonwine was at one
time while In business at Armour given
a commercial rating Of $4,000, but

September IS, 1908, creditors filed
claims against him a~ggregating $4,000.
He a been pushing collections hard
in his implement business as well as In
his general store, and the report OF the
robbery confirmed suspicion that he
was getting ready for a turn in high
nance. In the trial Cantonwine sought
to make his wife appear as the capital
list of the family, n that she being
afraid of the solidity of the banks made
a business Of secreting her money
about the house, even going SO far as
to use $40, 900 in currency to pack her
hustle. C~antonwine also testified that
shortly before the robbery he had sold
tracts of land to his wife, relieving her
of her cash and placing 1T In the store

INDIAN DEMANDS RETURN
OF RELATIVES DEATH GIFTS

LeBeau, s.. D., Dec. 22.-When Alex
ander Swift Bird died, relatives from
far and near attended the feast and,
following the usual custom Of the
Sioux, the family of the dead warrior
gave away many presents 'in honor OF
the event" This liberality, however,
did not please Stephen Black Body, a
soninlaw. 1t meant just that much less
property for him to inherit, SC after
carefully considering the matter he
brought suit against the Swift Bird es-
tate to recover the value of the death
gifts" The Swift Bird lands are on
the reservation near LeBeau, adjoining
part of the territory just thrown. open
to settlement n to be filed upon In
h spring. Stephen Black Body's
squaw will inherit part Of this prop,
erty, but Stephen want either the re-
turn Of the death gifts" or the money
value of them. Five steers we're killed
for the feast which followed Swift
Birds burial and the presep-s included
several horses, a wagon, hairless, dogs,
blankets and a calf. The calf was
given to the widow who later provided
a feast for her own friends. Black
Body feels that the family was ex-
travagant In providing steers for the
feast when there were plenty of dogs
on hand. The case will be heard in
circuit court. 1t was called at the term
just closed but continued until the
spring term.

SOUTH DAKOTA LAND Is
BRINGING HIGH PRICES

Clark, s. d., Dec. 22.--The remarkable
growth of eastern south Dakota in the
last two or three years is evidenced by
some of the sales of farm lands made
in this county I'm the las two weeks.
One farm sold for $S4.50 per acre with
just fair improvements. Another farm
sold for $6S per acre, which 10 years ago
could have been purchased for $40 per
acre. The corn in this section averaged
from 40 to 55 bushels an acre and this
has been the record for the last five
years. Farmers are beginning to know
they can raise corn in South d.
kota with an average yield about equal
to that of Iowa. The government re-
ports for 1908 showed the average yield
OF corn in South Dakota to be within
three bushels of the yield in Iowa, the
banner corn state of the union.
