Life Insurance Companies Must
Change Policies to Conform With
Law.
F. A. Draper, the actuary who is
examining the policy forms Of the diff
ferent life insurance companies which
are doing business in this state, to
find whether or not they conform
with the provisions of the policy form
law passed at the last legislative ses-
sion, reports that so far as he has
gone in the work he finds the most Of
the large companies are complying
with the provisions of the law gen.
orally in the forms which they have
submitted. Some of the smaller COM
panies are in some cases so far from
the requirements that it will be
necessary for them to completely re-
wise their forms before they can do
business under the new law. In some
cases the changes which will be re-
uuired are so slight that they can
easily be modified to meet the de-
mands Of the law, but In others, the
companies will be required to prepare
almost entirely new policy forms be-
fore they can get within the provis-
Ions of the law.

SURVEYS BOOM THE LAND.

Prices Of Real Estate Are Boosted by
Civil Engineers Activities.
The people about Onida, Sully coun-
ty, have gone railroad crazy. A party
of surveyors for the Northwestern
road came to the place and pitched
what looks like permanent camp
for long stay in that part of the
county.
The real estate owners within
twenty miles of that place began at
once to get their land off the market.
or to notify the agents handling it
that the old prices no longer held
good, but would have to stand raise.
One man in Pierre who was negoti-
ating for a tract at $40 an acre re.
ceived a telephone call the next day
announcing that the price had gone
to s26 an acre, and the deal would
have to be closed at once to hold 1t
at that price. The surveyors have
not made enough moves since landing
at that place to predict which way
they will go.

USE STRATEGY IN SURVEYS,
St. Paul Road Enoineers Are Said

st. Paul Road Engineers Are Said to
Be Looping to Cover All They Can.
Reports from the country west of
Forest City indicate that the different
railroads working into the reservation
country are keeping close watch of
the movements Of one another, and all
playing fer any position which will
give them lead
The st. Paul roads surveyors are
said to be running line west in long
loops to the north and south to take
in SIS much territory as possible and
to attempt to hold it against any 9TH
er line. The Minneapolis & st. Louis
surveyors are working southw est from
lie Beau, at times close to the survey
of the Milwaukee,. both attempting to
cover the Fox Ridge country. The
Northwestern crew is working north
from Leslie, all of them heading into
the section of the state about or Just
south Of Thunder Butte
If the lines now being surveyed
into that part of the state are to be-
come operating lines within the next
two years, that portion of South Da-
kota which yet shows a blank, so far
as railway lines are concerned will
show quite a different appearance by
the time the next maps are put into
circulation.

pected that the plan will be consum-
mated in about three months.

COUNTY CORN CONTEST.
Boys Enter Into Contest for RAISING
Prize Corn.


A. H. Seymour, superintendent Of
schools of Kingsbury county, reports
that nearly 200 boys of the rural
schools Of the county have entered
the corn contest inaugurated by the
county superintendent, and will COM
pete for the prizes which have been
offered those who this season succeed
in raising the best corn. In the past
these corn contests have proven very
successful, and that Of this season will
be no exception. Year by year the
number of rural school pubils who en-
gage in the contests is becoming larg-
er and the boys generally of the rural
schools are thus being trained to con-
duct corn raising on modern and sci
entifc lines. The competition between
the various contestants is very keen,
and some of the best corn raised in
South Dakota this season will be
raised by the boy pupils OF the rural
schools Of the county.

passing tracks at intervals along this
stretch, not more than seventy five
miles or so. Mr.. Stickney had this
Improvement in mind for many years

A VERY RECKLESS BOY.
Performs Remarkable Feat of Climb. |

Performs Remarkable Feat of Climb
ing to Tear Down Rival Glass Flag.
Daniel McCord a fifteen-year-old
freshman in the high school at
Pierre performed a feat, which if it
was part of circus would have
featured as star attraction, and did
1t without any of the safeguards which
would have bee nused by circus per-
former in attempting such a stunt.
The show started when two of the
Junior class climbed to the top of the
big derrick pole on the top of the new
state house., and attached their class
banner to one of the guy cables,
which was divided by connection
about 100 feet from the POLE and al
lowed the banner to slide down to
the connection They announced that
their banner was where 1t would stay
and the other classes gathered to in
vestigate.
McCord volunteered to get it, and
climbed to the top Of the pole, which
is about $50 feet above the ground
He swung off onto the wire carrying
the banner and slid down to the con-
nection where it was floating, and
tore it loose. At that point he was
about 100 feet from the ground, with
nothing between him and death If he
failed. After securing the trophy, he
swung to another cable, and slid to
to ground, reaching it at point more
than 400 feet fro mthe starting point.
the crowd kept still while he was on
the wire, but as soon as he touched
the ground the ymade up for their
silence, and McCord was the hero of
the evening, being carried down town
on the shoulders of the classmen who
watched his dangerous performance.

subsequently was executed, and who
died last week at his home near
Mitchell, S. D.. told to a newsnaner
correspondent in Sioux Falls, proba.
bly, the only story he ever has told to
a newspaper man, of the famous can.
ture.
After relating the events leading IN
to the assault on the engine house at
Harpers Ferry, where Brown was at
bay, by the marines under his
lGreenes) command, he modestly said
mat ne was believed to have been
the first man to have gone through
the hole in the door that had been
pattered down and toward which
Brown and his companions were d.
rectlng their fire. Continuing. he
gave the final account of the capture
as follows:
i found the room so full of smoke
that 1t at first was hard to distinguish
anything. One of the first men T
pumped into proved to be Col. Lewis
Washington, one of Browns hostages
and a descendant of George Washing
ton, first president of the United
States. Col Washington stepped I'D
to me and shouted in my ear:
THAT'S 'Osawatomie' Brown at
the same time indicating one of the
figures kneeling and facing the hole
IN the door, with gun ready. This
name had been given Brown while he
was in Kansas during the border war
fare there
Il had my sword raised in the air
ready to strike. and as Col. Washing
ton gave me the above information T
struck down John Brown, the blow
being of sufficient force to render him
unconscious for time.
During the fight in the engine
house my men killed two of Browns
men with their bayonets. One private
OF the marines, Michael Quinn, was
mortally wounded while going through
the hole which had been battered in
the door. Another marine was wound
ed. My personal opinion is that John
Brown himself shot Quinn.
we removed Brown and the other
prisoners from the engine house, and
the following day-Oct. 10, 1S59-in
accordance with an order from Col.
Lee, | with an escort of marines took
John Brown to Charlestown, w. Va,
where | turned him over to the
sheriff.

SELL Leaving Husband and Baby.
sad occurrence took place recent
~ at Running Water. Mrs. Blanche
hendricks, wife of Jesse Hendricks,
brakeman on the freight, committed
suicide by shooting herself through
the heart with revolver. The neigh
oors were first alarmed by hearing
cries from the yard of the house
"here Hendricks lived, and mon
thelr arrival there they found Hen
urlcks himself wandering about the
yard with revolver in his hand in
S'ate OF mental collapse. Upon being
asked what was the trouble he said
that his wife had shot herself and if
she was dead that he was going to
shoot himself also Several people
went into the house and found Mrs
Hendricks lying in the kitchen on
her back with her arms stretched
out, and evidently dead. There was
a quantity of blood on her breast. and
upon examination it was found that
there was bullet wound just under
the heart.
Dr. Dugoid of Springfield, the coun-
" coroner, was at once sent for and
upon his arrival with the undertaken
MIR. Montfore, also of Springfield an
inquest was held upon the spot. All
the evidence went to show that Hen
urlcks statement was substantially
correct. 1t seemed that there had
been little trouble between them
on account of Hendricks going to a
pail game in the afternoon contrary
to his wife's wishes. Upon his return
from the game he found her cooking
supper. They had a few words of a
somewhat quarrelsome nature, and
Hendricks said that if they could not
get along together better than that,
that he would leave her. She there
upon went out of the room into the
kitchen, and she must have taken
the revolver with her, as in a few
minutes Hendricks heard a shot, and,
gong into the kitchen found her as
described. He thereupon took up the
revolver and went out into the yard
crying for help and threatening to
shoot himself.
1t seems that Mrs. Hendricks had
been in rather poor health of late and
had been somewhat Respondent on
account of being so much alone at
home. She was a woman who was
highly respected in the community.
1t is only few weeks ago that she
had been elected organist of the
congregational church, the duties of
which office she took much pride in
performing. She will be greatly
missed in the town. One sad thing
in connection with this lamentable af-
fair is the fact that she has left a
little s1x-monthsold baby, who will
have to be taken care of by the
neighbors until her friends can be
communicated with.
She formerly lived in Marion juno
ton, and has some relatives near
Chamberlain.

DENMARK

The election Of members OF the
folketing took place recently, but at
this writing the result is not definite.
ly known, only meager press dis.
patches being at hand Judging by
these, the outcome was not decisive.
The principal issue was the question
of the national defense, about which
have frequently written. On Feb. IL
Premier Neergaard submitted the plan
Of the government, and Former Pre-
mier Christensen opposed it with
vigor, and submitted another plan,
differing from it quite radically. II
appears from the press dispatches
that thirty-eight members favorable
to Neergaard's plan were elected to
the folketing; thirty-four members IA
vorahle to Christensen's plan, thirty.
nine Socialists and Radicals, opposed
to the defense proposition altogether,
and eleven who are not committed.
If this is the actual result of the cleo.
ton, tits evident that the administra.
ton will have hard work getting its
plan adopted by the next rigsdag, hav.
ing less than one-half of the members
under its control.
There are to-day $4,000 electors in
Denmark-that is in local or com.
munal affairs of whom 424,0O0 are
women. At the last election the total
vote was $4,000, Of whom 10000
were women. The stay-at-home vote
was, therefore, rather large.
