that every employee of the Bartlett-Pat-
ten house had been given a bonus of 10
per cent Of his annual salary.
The price at which May wheat closed
today did not represent a fictitious
value. 1t was, according to traders,
consistent with the price the world
over. Mr.. Patten, had he wished, might
have put the price at IS, and remaining
shorts would have been compelled to
pay it or acknowledge bankruptcy.
Consistent Throughout.
However, according to his friends. he
remained consistent with his assertion
that he had no wish to manipulate
prices, but only to secure the legiti-
mate profits of his foresight. He backed
his judgment that there was less wheat
in the world than was generally be-
lieved, and found himself in control.
Wall street sold short, as did some in
fiuential western spectators, but Mr.
Patten stood firm. He took a vacation
at a critical period of the campaign and
ignored a decline of u cents that fol-
lowed his departure from Chicago.
That loss was more than recovered, for
it was only a few days ago that the
cereal sold at sL35A, the highest price
in eleven years.
Mr.. Patten mas made a fortune, how
much he cannot say until his cash
wheat is marketed. His own admission.
however, seems to make 81 000, 900 a
conservative estimate. 1t may run
much larger. The losses, it is said, have
fallen mostly on professional specula-
tors.
The battle is not over vet, for the
bulls and bears are still divided as to
whether empty bins viii be replenished
by the July harvest.

skinny" MADDEN GUILTY
Chicago Labor Leader and His Two
Helpers Fined $500 for Bribery
in Connection With Strikes.

Chicago, May 29.-After forty-six
hours of almost constant wrangling. the
jury in the case of Martin ('Skinny')
Madden, NJ. J. Boyle and F. A. Pouchot,
labor leaders, charged with strike graft
ing, today brought in verdict of
guilty, filming each of the defendants
$500.
The long delay is said to have been
due to the inability of the twelve men
to find a common ground Of punish
ment Madden almost collapsed when
the verdict was read. He was scarcely
able to speak, but finally managed to
state that he considered the verdict a
bad thing for unionism.
Reports of attempts to influence the
jury in behalf Of the defendants were
rife about the criminal court building
during the afternoon. States Attorney
Wayman visited the grany jury room
and later a large number Of subpoenas
were issued.
The case has been bitterly contested.
For years there have been rumOrs Of IT.
Irregularities in the calling and settling
Of strikes in Chicago. Last winter the
rumors took concrete form and the in
dictment Of Madden. Pouchot and Boyle
followed. The men were brought TO
trial on an indictment charging that
conspiracy to extort and extortion Of
the sum of $1,000 from Emil Klicka,
through George f. Andres. sn agent, in
order to settle a strike on the plant Of
the Joseph Klicka company. 1t was
alleged in the states testimony that
Andres. having received the money
from Klicka. left it on a desk for Mad
den the latter choosing this method as
a safeguard. Pouchot and Boyle are
said TO have assisted in securing the
money. Arguments on a motion for a
new trial will be heard June Il.

PRAIRIE CHICKENS
REST TWO YEARS
New Game Law To Protect Birds
Rapidly Becoming
Extinct

The new game law that was pass
ed last week is of much interest to
local sportsmen, and while it will
not meet with approval on all sides,
it was generally acknowledged that
something along that line was nee
essary to protect the prairie chicken
from extinction.
The bill provides for a state game
warden, with county deputies. The
deputies are to be appointed by and
work under the state game warden,
but are to be suggested by the
board of commissioners in each
county. There is license fee of 81
on every resident hunter, and one
of $25 on non-residents. Of this
amount one half goes to the state
and the other half is retained by the
county. The county game wardens
will receive not more than $50 per
month.
Under the new law all chicken
shooting is absolutely prohibited for
two years, or until Sept. 10, 1911.
Aftor that there is an open season
of one month, from Sept. 10 to Oct.
10. The number of chickens that
can be shot in one day has been re-
duced to ten. The open season for
aquatic fowls is from Sept. 10 to
April 10 of the following year.
The state game warden is author
lied to stock streams and ponds
with fish, and there is a 81 license
for nonresident fishermen.

Two charts on American Bird and
Nature study have been provided
for the grammar grade buildings.
This would appear to be valuable
in nearly every subject in the cur
riculum, but especially ior nature
study, geography, drawing and
literature. There is no time like
childhood to learn something of the
bird and animal life about us, and
yet the means for teaching these
have been and are altogether too
limited. These charts will be a
valuable accessory for this line of
work.

REFORM SESSION
COMPLETES WORK
Review of Important Laws Passed
By The Last Legislature

Pierre, March. 5.-The session
which closed today noon. has been
strong on reform and moral issues,
and its work when sized up will
show larger amount of such legls-
lation thar is usually ground out by
a Legislative session in this state.
The members evidently started with
an idea that the railroads needed
regulation in many different ways.
and a cloud of bills bearing on all
phases of railroading have been pre-
sented. Probably the leading bill
in that line is the two-cent rate law,
which has already made sensation
al entry into the courts, and has
been amended since It was passed
early in the session. 1t fixes a fiat
passenger rate of two cents a mile
for all persons over the age of
twelve years. and a rate of one cent
a mile for all persons under that
age, making no exception for child
rem under twelve.
Other railway matters of more
than passing Importance are the flat
mileage freight rate bill, which re-
quires all rates on freight to be the
same per ton per mile between any
two points in this state. The electric
headlight bill, which requires all
passenger engines operating in the
state to be supplied with electric
headlights Of fifteen hundred candle
power without refectors.
Rate making was also applied to
express companies, with bill which
requires them to reduce their rates
in the state prior to July next a
flat 20 per cent from the rates in
force Jan. last.
The bank legislation was embodied
in two bills, one providing for an as
sociation of incorporated banks for
insurance of hank deposits. The
other bill being a general banking
law, amending the present code,
with the minimum capital of $1,000,
for going into the banking business,
and requiring banks of less capital
to increase their capital as soon as
their deposits reach ten times the
amount of their existing capital.
Other important bills that were
passed were the primary election
bill abolishing county conventions,
doing away with the extra primary
in presidential years. and permitting
plurality nominations; the bill pro-
viding that but one official county
paper shall be appointed in town,
the bills fixing the salaries of county
auditors and states attorneys on the
basis of assessed valuation and popu-
lation. and the bill providing for the
election of county commissioners by
districts.

NEW SETTLERS
FOR HAND COUNTY
Many Immigrant Cars Received
At Miller Station Since
Jan.

Hand county will this spring bid
welcome to greater number of new
settlers than since her palmy days in
the early eighties. Many of them
have already arrived to 90 on the
land which they have bought or
rented, and there will be many more
to come this month and next.
Reports from all over the state
indicate a general movement to-
ward South Dakota from Illinois,
Iowa. Nebraska, and other neigh
boring states. The past few years
of unprecedented prosperity have
gone far towards removing the pre-
judice formerly felt by many of the
Older settled sections, and just now
at the begin ming of another season
of prospective plenty, it is pleas
ure to welcome these newcomers to
the sunshine state.
Since the first of the year there
have been over 25 cars of immigrant
goods received OF this station, and
below we give as full list as is pos
possible to obtain Of these new
settlers.
