SOUTH DAKOTA BOYS
GET MORE WAR MONEY
SPANISH AMERICAN SOLDIERS
OF SOUTH DAKOTA ARE
AWARDED $15,594 AS
BACK PAY.

Pierre, S. Diver since the close
OF the Spanish-American war. the
state has been pushing a claim for
money to be due to the first South
Daota regiment which. under Colonel
Frost did such good work in the Phil
ippine Islands. Governor Wesley has
just received notification from Wash
ington that the claim has been al
lowed in the sum Of $15,594.25. This
sum will be distributed among the
private soldiers who took part in that
campaign, and while no one Of them
will get a large sum, each will get
a reminder Of his campaign, which
will be a welcome one.
Along with the line Of wal claims
an old soldier of this city. j. s.
Green, a few days ago received from
Washington a draft for $7.84, which
was due to him on clothing account
when he was mustered out Of the
service in 1864. He feels as IL he had
picked that amount up in the
street" as he had no longer any idea
that he had anything due to him
from Uncle Sam for the service so
long ago.

PETITION FOR Low
GRAIN RATES HEARD
STATE COMMISSION SENDS APP.
PEAL FOR REDUTION IN
TARIFFS FROM STATE,
10 CHICAGO.

Pierre, 8. D.-The railway CON.
mission at its meeting here cleared
up a lot OF business. They is
sued their first order for an overhead
crossing, under the provisions Of the
law of the last legislative session
governing such crossings. The order
was issued on petition and hearing
in an application of the citizens of
Bradley, on the Minneapolis and
st. Louis Railway.
AS a result of their hearing at We
tonka, they instructed their attor-
ney to order an agent located at that
place within ten days after service
of their order.
The people of White Butte, on the
Puget Sound line ask that the road
be compelled to put in a siding, and
establish a station. This is in q pc
culiar situation. White Butte is in
South Dakota at a point where the
line dips down across the state line
and between the towns Of Petrol and
Haynes, both in North Dakota, and
these two towns are less than twelve
miles apart. The combination Of state
line and distance are too much for
the commission to give any help, and
White Butte will probably never be
much of a town.
Permission was granted to the
road to operate its inter-
locking plant Just completed at Grot-
on the coast extension.
Petitions for reduction in the
grain rate to Sioux City from South
Dakota points, being Interstate bust
ness. will be taken up at Chicago.
when the commission goes to that
city to continue hearings in the rate
case on the 7th Of this month. The
same disposal was made Of petitions
on the part Of the people of Dell Rap
ids and Baltic, in regard to train OPP
erations on the line between Egan
and Sioux City.

Pierre, S. D.-The largest crowd
in attendance at the conservation
congress was out last night to hear
Governor Eberhart, Of Minnesota,
who took the question of keeping the
boys and girls on the farms. The
governors theory is that school and
home life for farm boys must be
made more interesting and attractive
or they will naturally drift to the
city. Unless more of them are kept
on the farm the consuming class will
gain more rapidly on the producing
class and "high prices will not only
remain as a problem, but will in
crease" he said. Better schools and
more attractive home is his remedy
There was some disappointment,
however, for the big audience at the
session, the chairman, Rob-
ert L. Slagle, president of the State
College Of Agriculture, announcing
that Governor Eberhart Of Minneso-
would not reach the city until
a. m. The executive was to
have made the first address Friday
afternoon.
Governor Eberhart's train was q
rifle late. and, without waiting for
him to remove evidences Of travle.

appearance was the signal for
