An interesting question has arisen
In the new county of Dewey which
was carved out of the Cheyenne In
dian reservatin. The last legislature
attached that county to Walworth
County for judicial purposes. and the
authorities of Walworth county have
notified the Indians who hold allot-
ments in Dewey County that they
have been assessed on their personal
property, and to call at the treasur-
8er's office in WalWorth and pay their
taxes. The Indians declined the in.
vitation on the ground that they have
not been allowed to vote, and with
them the law is no vote, no tax. and
IL the white man wants to collect the
tax he must show his authority. The
white man, under the circumstances,
will not for the present resort legal
means to collect, but the Indian can
hardly escape on the plea that he is
not5a voter. White women who own
property are not voters in South Da-
akota, but they are obliged to foot
their tax bills.

Hl;Key FOR HARMONY.

Arlington Sun: South Dakota has
suffered through factional disputes
the four years, and il there is a pos
sibility of bringing the waring ele-
ments together and reuniting the re-
publican party at the beginning of
the next campaign it would seem the
duty of every republican to try his
utmost to do it. The party can be
split wide open again, or it can be
unified. Before going into the merits
of the claims put forward by the var
ious candidates for office and precipi-
tating another fight all along the
line, a little pacific council should be
considered, and if possible, cessa-
tion of hostilities effected.

The state capitol commission at a
session last evening formerly decided
to adopt the flake" which was out
lined to the legislative members at
the las. session in large picture
which was on exhibition. While this
plan has been adopted, the amount of
money available for improvement
this year is not sufficient to begin the
carrying out of the whole plan, but
that which is available will be used
to begin the work on the western end
of the grounds, leaving the completion
of the work covering the whole tract
for more available funds. The work
to be carried out to be make harmon
ious with the whole plan. This will
leave the eastern end of the grounds

AWAITING THE CROWD.

Judge J.$W. Witten, in charge OF
the registrations and drawings for
Cheyenne River reservation lands, is
In the city, and will meet notaries
tonight. He has made final arrange
ments at other points where registra-
ton Is to take place, and this is the
last place on his tour. He goes back
to Aberdeen from Pierre to remain
until after the drawings in the latter
part Of October. His arrangements
are for the registration Of fifty thous-
and at this city, but he says he does
not expect that many will.come, plac-
ing number here atabout thirty thou
sand. The place selected fora the
registration booths is in the Locke
hotel, where the booths can lbe lined
up along one side Of the roomEprovid-
ed, and those who sdesire to register
oan go in at one door and Tout of an
other, oavoiding confusion. The city
is prepared to handle as many as five
thousand a day, but it is not likely
that the Accommodations will be taxed
to that extent at any time, unless it
should be during the Gas Belt exposi-
ton 2week, when the crowds Twill

She explained that the Zulus. who had
set her up as an image or token of the
guiding spirit of their nation, were madly
jealous concerning her. so jealous that il
he remained here long she was by no
means certain that even her power could
protect him when they came to under
stand that he was much to her. 1t was
impossible that she could see him often,
and much more so that he could remain
in her kraal. Therefore If they were de-
tanned he would be obliged to live at some
distance from her where an assegai might
find him at night or poison be put in his

her foreknowledge of his arrival. and that
was why he had been admitted to her at
