The Small Grains Should Be

ity and Productiveness.

With a desire to have practical IL
Illustrations of the productiveness of
soil contiguous to Rapid City, Pres.
limerick of the Business Mems club
suggested that those owning land
have the sod turned and the land
planted to grains BY having fields
OF small grains growing the impress
sion on visitors will be much better
than If the land is used for grazing
purposes, as has been the custom for
years.
He recently visited the farm owned
by Zack Holmes, two miles north Of
the city, where attention is given
wheat culture. There was raised fifty
acres of the wheat now cut and ready
for the thresher, which will yield
well, making money for the owner.
MIR. Emerick's suggestion is not so
much from financial consideration
of owners as it is for the benefit of
property values generally. There are
several Thousand acres in sight of the
city held for higher prices. This land
is adapted to the cultivation of small
grains, and If planted to wheat, oats
or other grains would convey an OBJ
ject lesson Of benefit to all beholders
for those in search Of lands judge by
crops as much as by appearance and
quality of the soil. 1t is the real test
OF fertility and adaptability Of the
soil. Mr.. limerick suggests system
attic campaign with this purpose in
view, and the suggestion is most prac-
tical and worthy. The results would
be far greater than the most sanguine
anticipate and would benefit the COM
munity greatly, land values would I'M
crease more rapidly and permanently
and everyone would benefit by It, All
the soil contiguous to the city at least
contains the mineral properties to
make it valuable for wheat culture,
and, as wheat always commands a
good price, should be remunerative to
the property holders. The wheat re-
ceiving the highest award at the
worlds fair held in Chicago few
years ago was grown by a farmer near
Sturgis In the Black Hills. This
wheat was grown on soil containing
gypsum properties and very little diff
ferent from that which surrounds
Rapid City. Give the suggestion
practical test this coming year and
should the unexpected happen the
product will more than meet expenses
and the soil will be benefited by the
test.
Realty dealers for years have had
in their offices samples of corn, wheat,
oats, etc which were grown on PEN
nington county lands and matured in
fine shape, much, of it superior
to sections further east. If these
samples of the county products are.

of all beholders an object lesson Of

MINING MACHINES INSTALLED
PittsburG Mining Company Has New
Invention Which May RevoIu-
tionize Mining In the Hills.

Invention Which May RevoIu-
tionize Mining in the Hills.
The Pittsburg Mining company, ope-
rating land leased of l.. A. Richards
at Placerville, has just installed a
machine which may make a change
in mining hereafter. 1t is an eastern
invention found practical in the mines
at Catawba, South Carolina, where
low grade gravel has been worked
with profit. The new machine was
installed by VIM. Richards, an expe-
rienced hydraulic engineer, on Mon
day, and worked perfectly with power
furnished by the Dakota Power COM
pany.
The machine is called gold washer
and is operated by water power taken
from the flume which runs near the
Pittsburg plant, being conveyed in a
l4-inch steel pipe to 20-inch hori-
zontal Victor turbine wheel. The
pressure developed is rated at SO horse
power. In connection there are 15C
feet of sluice boxes through which
the gravel passes onto grating with
bars about an inch apart. The fine
materials, gold, black sand and rubies
pass into the machine and the Other
stuff passes over a quarter-inch mesl
revolving screen. 1t is claimed b,
this method nothing of value is lost
every particle of gold and other valu
ables being secured. The byproduct
thus obtained is sold and used TO-
hardening the surface of asphalt paw
ing.
Another valuable machine in opera
tion is the hydraulic giant used 70
crushing the gravel which goes int
the sluice boxes. This machine work
under many tons pressure.

could have forgiven her almost every
thing-save, indeed, her kiss for that
other man; some old lover, he supposed,
not evidently entirely discarded And
he ground his teeth over the recollec-
tons of that evening with the rage of
impotent jealousy.
r.
He was up in town for about three
weeks, trying to amuse himself, try
ing to forget her. One afternoon the
newspaper placards announced in large
type the Sensational Arrest of Fa-
nous Forger." He bought an evening
paper, and read how a man named Ed
ward Randall, wanted by the police
for forging a signature to a check six
months ago, had been caught at Liver
pool just as he was stepping on board
a ship bound for Canadian port.
Two days later business obliged him
to go home to Uldthorpe, and he de-
bated seriously in his mind as he took
his place in the train whether he should
go over to Harrington the next morning
and propose to Aline Forester.
That will knock the other business
out of my head" he said to himself.
But he never took that desperate step.
Mrs. Hilton told him the news almost
directly on his arrival. You were we'll
rid of that girl, Jack" she said, with a
certain triumph in her voice. Have
you heard who those people were? No?
oh, every one down here is full of it
Their name wasn't Smith at all, it was
Randall, and they were the mother and
sister of that felon who has just been
caught"
Good heavens! Then it was her
brother | saw!'
''Wretched impostors! Fancy that
girl daring to think of marrying you!
AS to her mother-well, poor soul, she is
dead
"WhatP'
"She dropped down dead when she
heard of her wretched sons capture, 1
am told. Heart, suppose"
Where is Beatrice, them"
"Oh, she's there still. The mother
was buried this morning, and | hear the
girl is packing up and turning out to-
morrow. The place will be we'll quit of
such people,
But Jack had turned from her and
rushed away down the drive He did
not hear her last words.
Ten minutes later he was standing
once more under the crimson ramblers
of the porch, and entreating the little
maid servant to take his message to
Miss Smith
"She said she wouldn't see nobody,
sir. Why, 'er poor ma was only buried
this mornin''
But she will see me, l am sure. Take
her this card"
He wrote a pencil line on it and
pressed coin into the maids hand, and
IN a few minutes she returned
"Will you walk this way, sir" And
he was ushered into the little drawing
room.
Beatrice rose from the writing table
as he came in, pale and sad in her deep
mourning.
81 am glad to see you," she said. 81
was just writing to you"
ITO mei' He flushed with sudden
gladness, but turned pale again when
she held out a check to him; he saw it
was for seventy-five pounds.
1T is a part of my debt to you. l
was writing to ask you if you would
allow me six months in which to send
you the remainder
Beatrice! You are indeed cruel to
me. You hurt me fearfully. Can you
not forgive me?"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-24

"Oh why speak of forgiveness? Sure
ly if | repay you the money you SO
generously lent to me-
He snatched the check from her
fingers and tore it into atoms Don't
you know" he cried, passionately that
there is only one way in which you can
repay me? 1t is not, can never be, a
matter of money between you and me.
What turned me against you was when
| saw you kiss that man, and when you
refused me an explanation; but now l
know that he was your brother, and /
can understand your silence. Say you
forgive me for having doubted you-say
it, Beatrice y
''Oh, Jack ~ she faltered, and her eyes
filled with tears.
Then he took her in his arms and held
her to his heart. MY darling-my darl-
ing Let me comfort you. You love
me still, l know"
"Oh, yes, Jack, l love you. But we
must part. You cannot marry the sister
of forger."
But l can, and l am going to do So
Your brother-poor chap-is not YOU"
"Oh but what 7V0nId people say?
And then your mother-think of her p
Il must think of myself frst-and of
you. Pray what did you propose doing
when you left this house?"
Il thought of going first to London
and then of joining an old school friend
at Lausanne. She is teaching in a
school there, and she says she thinks she
could get me a post as English teacher
| am really fond of her, too"

gether"
ooh, Jack, you are mad!' she cried,
half laughing.
Never was saner in my life, my
dear. Look here, | am in earnest, Bea-
trice, and you-you are going to do as
l tell you, you know" At that the small,
whimsical smile he knew and loved so
well crept into her lovely face eve

this day week-well, tomorrow week,

reminded him of her recent sorrow. eve

rangement between this and then; you
will have nothing to do but to wait and
do as l tell you. Then we shall go off
abroad Immediately from the church
door, and stop away a couple of years,
till all this sad business has blown over
My mother and every one else will be
glad enough to see us back by that time,
you'll see!'
r.
A ND this was exactly what they did
do. Only they came back in eigh-
teen months, bringing with them an
Italian nurse and a beautiful fat baby
boy, at the sight of whom Mrs. Hilton
completely forgave them both, and for
the sake of her grandson, took her
daughter-in-law to her heart. She had
been dull enough, too, poor lady, left
alone at Oldthorpe, and was ready to do
anything to be at peace with her son
again.
And, meanwhile, Edward Randall had
died in Dartmoor prison, so the old
story became forgotten, and everybody
fastened to call on Jack Hilton's wife
Where did he pick her up?" was
sometimes asked in the neighborhood
And once somebody answered, ooh, he
found her trespassing in his park, have
been told, and they were never properly
introduced to each other 1t was quite
a romance. But, after all, what does
that matter now she is Mrs Hilton, of

THIEF KNEW PREMISES
The House Was Entered
While the Family Was
Away. Burglary Happened
Saturday But the Police
Kept it Quiet.

A box containing large amount of
mining stock, other valuable papers
and several hundred dollars worth
of jewelry, was stolen from the home
of well known mining man, who
lives on Thirteenth avenue north of
Washington street, Saturday night.
The burglary occurred while the fam
lily were away and has been Kept
quiet by the police in the hope of
catching the thief.
Tie mining man is at present away
in the mountains. His wife and child
had gone down town for the evening.
Entrance vas effected through a
front window close 10 the sidewalk
sometime befol- ten o'clock. AS
most of the nciShbors were also
away. no one saw the man climb
through the window ana shortly after
appear with the box of jewels and
papers.
The screen was removed and the
window pried up. On a bureau, al
most within reach of the window,
was the box in which it had been
the habit of the family to keep their
valuables. 1t was in plain sight and
was the only article taken. Other
valuables could have been found if
the thief had made a search of few
minutes, but he was apparently well
satisfied with the box. The police
are of the opinion that the thief was
well acquainted with the premises
and knew the contents of the box
without opening it.
Several officers have been working
on the case, but have not as yet a
definite clew. The police refused to
give out the name of the mining man
whose house was robbed.
The most valuable contents of the
box were the private papers, mining
stocks and bank stocks. A list of the
stolen articles follows:
Two emerald rings, pigeon blood
ruby ring, gold watch with initials
E. NJ. D. engraved on the case, an
open face gold watch, diamond stud,
two diamond rings, gold and silver
cuff links, college fraternity pin, pearl
stick pin, ruby stick pin, diamond
stick pin, horse shoe pin, Masonic
emblem, several gold pieces, silver
box about II or 16 inches long, chain
and cross, insurance papers, stock
and other papers of value only to
their owner.

CENSURIN G RESOLUTION
Directed Against Federal
Judges Phillips andMcPher-
son Who Held This Law
and Other State and Rail-
road Legislation Invalid.

Washington, May 3.-Making seri-
Gus charges against Federal Judges
John F. Phillips and Smith McPher-
son of the western district of Mis-
souri,, Representative Murphy of that
state introduced a resolution today to
investigate their conduct in the liti-
CATION between the state and railroad
companies over the maximum freight
law and the Missouri two-cent pas
senger rate law.
The preamble of the Murphy reso-
luton alleges that the two judges ac-
eompanied certain railroad attorneys
on a fishing trip on which occasion
the members of the patty were ar
rested for violating the game laws Of
the state. The resolution charges
that Judge Phillips neglects his duty
by continued absence from the bench
and that when he does preside the
court is in session only four hours
each day.
Mr. Murphy desires the general
conduct of Judge Phillips investigated
contending that he is insulting to at
torneys who are compelled to practice
in his court and that he has at
various times instructed the jury to
bring in a certain verdict. If the
jurors bring a different verdict, de-
clares the resolutions, Judge Phillips
becomes insulting and charges that
they have violated their oaths as
jurors.
The resolution recites the various
phases of the litigation including a
statement that the railroad companies
refused to establish certain rates
within the state of Missouri in viola
ton of the state antitrust law It
is sated that the two judges rendered
certain decisions which in effec-
usurped the powers of the legislature.

THE ORIGINAL SQUEALER
ON SCHM|Tz REGIME
THE STAR WITNESS AT THE
CALHOUN TRIAL.
Uncovered the Whole Mess.

San Francisco, May 3.-Dr. Chas.
Boxton, former member of the Schmitz
board of supervisors, was the star
witness in todays session of the trial
of Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads. Boxton, who was
trapped by W. J. Burns and other
agents of the district attorneys office,
and whose confession precipitated the
original expose of the Schmitz ad-
ministration, was called on by the
prosecution TO relate the full story of
the occurrence at the home of G. M.
Roy, a skating rink promoter. in 1907,
when Boxton in full view of witnesses
concealed behind folding doors ac-
cepted a number of markd bills with
the understanding that he would vote
for an ordinance favoring a liberal
administration of skating Kinks.
Later, according to the witness, he
was visited by Burns, who described
to him every incident of his visit
to Roy's house and advisd him to
confess.
John F. Furey, the tenth member
of the former board. was called as a
witness, but was excused by both
sides during the day. The prosecution
will call another witness tomorrow.
Judge William p. Lawlor and the
attorneys engaged in the case agreed
during the day that there would be
no action toward the disqualification
