LIVING IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Good Old South Dakota has had to
stand lots of slams, but the worst
ever told about the state was the libel
on its climate, and just now it is
proving the untrnth of those old
stories.
While the people down in Illinois
and Iowa, and less favored territories
are suffering with the cold, and
mourning because the frost has taken
their crops, or at least injured the
corn, the fortunate residents of this
one of the Dakotas, are rejoicing in
ideal weather.
No frost has appeared, or in fact,
anywhere in the northern half of the
state, of such severity that it has
harmed any growing thing. The trees
are green and the vegetation is luxur-
ious and alive with beauty.

KILLED BY RATTLEsNAkE

Three sad deaths occurred in the fam
lily Of John Henderson, who lives on the
western border of this state, two of
which were caused by the bite Of rattle
snake. Mrs. Henderson went to the
well near the claim shanty to draw
some water and carried an infant in her
arms, leaving two small children near
the house. She heard the children
screaming at the house and hurried to
their assistance, placing the baby on
the ground near the we'll in her excite
nent. When she reached the house
she found that rattlesnake had bitten
both of her children and the reptile was
fast making way. She looked out to-
ward the well to see if the baby was
alright but could see nothing of it.
Hurting out there the fear that had
entered her heart was confirmed when
she saw the little infant lying in the shall
low water at the bottom Of the well.
She rescued it in a short time but
life was extinct. Within an hour the
two children that had been bitten by
tho rattlesnake died.

ESTIMATES ARE TOO LARGE.

If Judge James w. Witten, the gov
ernment official who has charge of
the registration for the Standing Rock
and Cheyenne River reservation lands
is correct, the South Dakota people
who have been figuring on 200, 900 or
100000 people registering for the 1O,-
900 claims to be given away by Uncle
Sam, have greatly over estimated the
land hunger of the American people.
Judge Witten, who has large expert
ence in such matters, stated in Aber-
deem Friday that he anticipated that
about 100000 people would register
for the lands, of whom about half
would register at Aberdeen and the
other $4,000 would be divided up
among Pierre, Bismarck, Mobridge,
Lennon and LeBeau, the other regis
tration points. Judge Witten will
visit the registration points in South
Dakota, having come here from Bis
marck, and will return to Aberdeen,
to remain during the registration and
drawing October 1.

A JOB FOR THE COMPETENT.

Who wants job helping the United
States government count noses in the
thirteenth decennial census?
Whoever does should begin studying
for the examination (all census appoin-
tees must pass competitive test), for
they occure at two hundred or more
cities throughout the country on Oct.
%.
Three thousand persons will be given
temporary employment by Uncle Sam
during the next census work. Those
who are most successful in the exam
nations may expect appointments at
$500 a year; but if their service is satis-
factory they may be promoted up to as
much as 5000 a year. Allappointments
are on probation, subject to termination
at the end of one month, or longer
period, provided the appointee Doesn't
make good. All appointments by Jaw
expire June 80, 1912. The average te-
nure of Office as estimated by Director
Durand, will probably be one year, but
the general duration will range from
six months to two years. None of the
new clerks can hope to secure transfer
to the permanent classified service with
out passing further civil service exam

NEW CENSUS TO HELP WEsr.

Shall the new census result in in
creas1ng the membership Of the house
OF representatives, or in reducing the
representation Of the eastern statesp
This is the question which is now
up for discussion. It will have to be
decided soon after congress meets In
December.
The new census will show an in
crease in population. This increased
population will require an increase in
the number of congressmen-unles
the law is changed as to the basis of
representation.
If the law is not changed the house
of representatives, now containing
391 members, will be swellsd to
figure not for from 500. Which would
make an unwieldly body more un-
wieldly.
Tie present law gives one represent
alive to every 194,1s2 population
with some additions for fractions Of
this number. At each new census,
showing continuously an increase OF
the population, this figure has been
increased, since the beginning of the
republic, when there was represen-
tative for every 10000 people. At
the same time also, and in spite of
the increased basis of representation,
the size of the lower house Of congress-
has grown from body originally
smaller than the present senate to It's
present size-nearly four times that I
OF the senate.
Every change in the basis Of repre-
sentation, following every new count
of the population, has added to the
representation of the west and sub
tracted from that of the east. New
England has gained in the aggregate
of its population, but not so rapidly
as states like Illinois, Oklahoma,
Colorado, Oregon and California.
The south, too, has gained, more
slowly. Consequently. the south and
east are in q constant struggle against
any great increase in the basis Of re-
presentation.
On the basis Of the census Of 1900.
as the apportionment was first recon-
mended to congress, the following
states would each have lost q repre-
sentative: Indiana, Kansas. Ken
tucky, Maine, Nebraska. Ohio, South
Carolina and Virginia.
The following stood to gain one
representative: Illinois, Louisiana.
Minnesota, New Jersey, New York
and West Virginia.
Texas gained two representatives
AS finally worked out there was :
compromise which saved several old
states from the threatened cut in their
delegations.

thinking it was for the other fellow"
That Is how Coroner D. v. Bower
described the manner in which he and
his twin brother. John R. D. Bower,
celebrated the sixty-third anniversar,
of their birth. John has been cor
oner of Mercer county as frequently
as the law would allow since he came
of voting age, but just at present. the
law having required him to lay of for
term, his brother Dan has the job,
merely for the sake of keeping it in
the family.
The Bower twins are so diminutive
in stature, so sunny of countenance
and so good natured of disposition
that no one would suspect that they
had passed the three score mark. The
birthday surprise was prepared by
Daniels daughter, who got her father
to be measured for a stylish suit of
clothes, which she told him were to be
her Uncle Johns birthday present.
Then she got her Uncle John to be
measured for suit of clothes which
she told him were to be her fathers
birthday present. AS matter of fact
each was measured for his own suit OF
clothes, but that wouldn't have made
any difference, for the Bower brothers
are Identical in size as well as loks
| and either suit would fit either man.
