Rush rLandS inFull Swing
Spring Brings Its Annual Offering OF Thousands
of New Settlers for Fertile Land
of South Dakota
of South Dakota.


Not since the early days of settle
ment has the influx of new settlers to
South Dakota been so great as at
present and during the past few
weeks. Predictions that South Dakota
will this year add anywhere from 90
600 to 10000 new settlers to it's popu-
lation promise to be fully borne out.
The new settlers for several weeks
have been pouring into the state in
steadily increasing stream. They
come from all the states of the west
and middle west. Several thousand
are arriving in the south-central por-
ton of the state alone, being those
who were fortunate enough to draw
homesteads in Trip county at the
gigantic movement land drawing last
fall, and who in the near future will
be permitted to make entries on the
land which they drew. With these
Trip county homesteaders are many
nuhdreds or other new settlers, who
are locating upon that portion of
Gregory county which formerly was
embraced in the Rosebud Indian res
ervation.
So great is the influx of new set
tiers to that and other portions Of
the state that special trains are re-
CURED to carry the newcomers and
their effects. A newspaper at Alpena
reports that from eighty to one hun
dred carloads of emigrant goods have
PASSED through that place each day
for several weeks past, bound for diff
ferent points in the Dakotas. Numer-
Gus towns in the older portion of the
state east of the Missouri river report
that their localities are receiving their
full share of the newcomers arrivals
of from five or six to eight and ten
carloads per day being nothing I'M
| common. Extra freight trains made
up of the effects Of the new settlers

River.
Not since that day when the saga
cious William Penn bought Pennsyl-
vania from his red friends has there
been deal made which was quite
50 satisfactory to the Indians as that
whereby the white man will be given
possession of the magnificent stretch
of territory now included in the
Cheyenne River and Standing Rock
reservations, which is to be opened to
settlement during the coming fall
The Sioux who do tie freightng for
the cattlemen to the west of lie Beau
are not only reconciled to the deal
they made with Maj. Mclaughlin for
cedlng their land to the government,
but they feel assured that they have
| laid the foundation for their fortunes.
A generation back they were fight
! ing with scalping knives to keep the
whites out of their country They
held to the reserve just across the
river from lie Beau with a tenacity
! that demonstrated their love of the
soil. For a hundred years these Teton
Sioux had held this country as their
choicest hunting ground: the land of
their fathers and favorite pasture of
| their buffalo, they chung to long after
! they had left the way open into the
Black Hills and the great hunting
grounds on the Republican river in
the Big Horn country.
Now they are tribe of traders and
farmers; their young men do the
freighting for the cattlsmen and ride
the ranges for them. There are scores
Of men just past middle age who have
rich farms west of the river who,
thirty odd years ago, were among
the fiercest of the followers of Sitting
Bull when he made his last stand on
the Little Big Horn and destroyed
Custer and his men. They regard the
coming Of the white man to settle on
the 100000 acres they have ceded as
the one thing necessary to give their
own holdings substantial value, and
they have held many pow-wows dur.
ing the winter in which they discussed
means Of making the opening of the
reservation profitable to themselves.
This land to be opened next fall will
attract greater concourse of people
than has ever been seen at like
event. The immense territory to be
opened, and its fertility, has already
impressed prospective settlers to the
extent of bringing lot of people to
this point Of course. no one will be
allowed on the reservation until it is
formally opened; but there has been
a good deal of spying on the promised
land this winter.

way
"Out of the mouths of babes and
stockings cometh wisdom"
And the Ice cream! All done up in
packages in tissue paper! And such
generous slices! Why, you cannot get
such big slice in an ice cream store,
really. What larks! What larks!
There never, never was such an after
noon on the East side!
And when the ice cream was all
eaten and the plates were scraped
clean, came the distribution of the
presents to those who had kept their
lilies for the year. Standing on "a
raised platform, in full bloom, were
some lilies, all representing the
beauty and the CORY of the Christ.
The majority of the lilies were pure
white. These were more frequent.
because they are cultivated more ex-
tensively for decorative purposes on
Easter. There was one gorgeous
specimen of the lily This was a very
rare specimen in New York. It was
imported from New South Wales by
wealthy member of the Little Moth
ers' Aid society. 1t stood in a Dot
three feet across the top, and was or
namented by clusters of large Grim
son flowers. 1t was splendid beauty.
There were specimens of the Turk
Cap lily in full bloom, the flowers re-
sembllng turban. There were the
orange lily, the Southern red lily, the
tiger-spotted lily. The sight of these
beautiful blooms stimulated the i'm
agination of the spectators, but they
were too expensive to be given to the
children.

WIFE GETS JUDGMENT.
Recreant Spouse Must Now Pay Back

Recreant Spouse Must Now Pay Back
to Wife Money She Loaned Him.
Because the jury believed that he
borrowed nearly $4,000 from his wire
when they were living together in
Omaha, under promise of returning it
when he became heir to some rich es-
tates, Mrs. Mildred o. Cuthbertson
was given verdict in the circuit
court at Deadwood of $4,000 against
her recreant spouse. The case was
bitterly fought. the defendant, Edward
M. Cuthbertson, a travelling man
formerly Of Omaha, appearing In per-
son and denying in toto the charge OF
his wife.
The couple have been estranged for
some time. About year ago the de-
PENDANTS father died, leaving an es-
tate of about S25.000 When young
Cuthbertson failed to pay the alleged
debt his wife brought suit. She
claimed that her husband had expen-
sive tastes which she gratified with
frequent loans. One large loan he is
said to have made to invest in sheep
in Montana, but did not follow up his
intention. The wife is now suing him
for divorce.
In another suit brought by the same
plaintiff against her mother-in-law
Mrs. Isabella Cuthbertson, she was
not SO fortunate. Plaintiff alleged that
In 1902 defendant and her young
daughter were maintained by plaintiff
at an Omaha boarding house where de-
PENDANT and her married son, Bert
Brown Of Omaha, resided. Since de-
PENDANT shares in the Cuthbertson es.
tate, plaintiff held that defendant was
able to remunerate and the jury al
lowed the plaintiff $50.

are daily running over practically
every railroad line in the state.
Every train passing westward from
Oacoma has from three or four to
dozen or fifteen carloads of immigrant
effects, to be distributed along the
new Black Hills line of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway. Re-
ports from the towns along the new
Black Hills line of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad are to the
same effect.
A decidedly favorable aspect of the
influx of new settlers is that they
are without an exception experienced
farmers from older states, who come
prepared to actively engage in farm
ing. They are not explorers, expert
mentors of spectators" remarks one
South Dakota editor, but the best and
most energetic of other statesmen
who have the foresight and penetra-
ton to see what this section has in
store for them; men who act and do
things"
Many of the new settlers are locat-
ing upon virgin prairie, which they
will break" and this season for the
first time devote to the raising of
crops. Owing to the great influx OF
new settlers, in numerous counties
power plows will be put at work
breaking" and the breaking Of from
5000 to 10000 acres Of land in sin
gle county viii be nothing uncommon.
Last year South Dakota broke all
previous records by producing new
wealth to the value Of more than
| $1S5,000,O00, and for the tenth sue
cessive year occupied the proud posi-
ton Of producing more new wealth
, per capita than any other state in the
Union. With the coming of the thou
sands Of new settlers and the adding
of tens Of thousands of acres to the
crop acreage of the state there Is lit
tie doubt that South Dakota will this
year produce more new wealth than
during any former season in the his
tory of the state.

DROWNED LII
New York Easter Story

Once, while sitting on her knee,
That the angels never weary,

And that if we're good

Miss Amaryllis Hope, whose deft fin

the small alien and kissed her rap
turously,, all the 700 little mothers ap-
plauding as big children do at the op-
era. All except Mrs. Jonathan Will
Jams, an elderly woman whose hus-
band is the proprietor Of a big dry
goods store. She sat with her elbows
on her knees, her tiny piece of en-
broidery called a handkerchief crush
ed into a wad in her hands, and one
big tear coursing down her cheek into
her mouth, and the taste Of the tear
was very, very bitter, like aloes. Her
husband was very busy man.
One little daughter of a Nihilist
from Russia, commenting on the kiss,
said:
II thought that God was dead, but
he surely must be alive today"

cake and ice cream. Great big, gener-
Gus slices of cake, covered with frost

Oil of Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was sup
posed To he a blood disease and was
enormously treated as such. but
now the best authorities agree that
eczema Is only a skin disease and
must be cured through the skin.
Th4 eminent skin specialist. DR.. ID.
d. Dennis, first discovered the &c
zema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up in both Germany
and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DR..
Dennis compounded oil winter
green, thymol. glycerine, etc. The
remedy Is a liquid, not a mere
salve, hence it sinks right into the
pores of the skin. Washing with
this oil Of wintergreen compound
seems to take the itch away at once;
soon the scales drop awav and the
disease disappears. J. a. GAY.
