The new towns in the northwestern
part of the state are very much arous-
ed over the action OF the interior de-
partment in withdrawing all lands not
filed on in that section for examination
of coal, and a delegation of citizens
headed by Governor Vessey are in
Washington this week to take the mat
ter up with the land department. IN
case the government should make the
Withdrawals permanent it would SER
iously impede the growth and deyel-
opment of that section. The people
out there claim that the coal, which
is of the Ignite variety, is of very
little value for shipping purposes, and
the land is worth a great deal more
for agricultural uses.

Judge Taylor last week handed down
a decision Of considerable importance
10 every county in the state. The
states attorney of Kingsbury county
brought suit against the estate Of an
insane person for the amount that
had been paid out for his keep while
at the Yankton asylum, and the court
held in favor OF the county. Judge
Taylor was of the opinion that where
the estate is worth it the county could
recover, and the decision looks very
reasonable. The decision will likely
be used as a precedent by other coun-
ties.

The people of the town OF Faith
have about lost their faith in railroads.
Faith, which is located in the extreme
western part Of the state, has been
built up rapidly within a year, with
the expectation that the Milwaukee
line would reach the town this fall,
but work has been stopped seventy
miles this side. We don't believe the
people of Faith have the requisite
amount Of faith. Here in Brookings
we have been waiting for a south line
for some twenty years, but We still
have faith.

The next legislature will be asked
to pass a law requiring farmers wives
and those who market eggs to stamp
upon each egg the date of laying. This
law would open up quite a field for
development. In the first place a
large staff Of inspectors would be re
quired to see that the housewife
promptly and correctly stamped the
eggs. In the next place breeders of
poultry could experiment in breeding
hens that would put the date of laying
on each egg automatically. So the
law is likely t. find favor. The poll
tician and the scientist will both be
for it.-Yankton Press and Dakotan.

l.. H. Jones, for more than thirty
years in the employ of the North
Western has resigned as station agent
at Huron. He was the first agent OF
the North Western company in South
Dakota, opening In Office at Aurora
ON October %, 1879, the station house
being a box car. In 1888 he became
agent at Faulkton and after five
years service went to Huron, becom-
ing agent there in 1898, that city be-
ing his home since that time. His
resignation is prompted by his nomin-
alton on the republican ticket for
treasurer of Beadle county, to which
he will no doubt be elected this fall.

Mr.. Sommers has a fine family of five

one of the incest residences in Brook

here until November and will then
probably go to the coast to spend the
winter, although they have not de-
cided Upon a location. They expect
to occupy the F. A. Pond house until
November. Their many friends will
hope that they will not decide to leave
B%rookings permanently.
There was a new kind of CRATER in
town last week, but we don't think
he was very successful. He visited
each merchant and offered, upon pay
ment of fifteen dollars, to turn to
that particular store all the Catholic
trade in Brookings and vicinity. Just
how he expected to deliver this trade
in a bunch was not made very clear
to us, but he was to send to each
family of that denomination a Cath
Ollie magazine and at the same time
urge them to trade at the stores that
came across with the fifteen. The
deal was a fake on the face of it and
we don't see how he could induce any
business man to get into it.
Prof. j.. w. Wilson hands us the
following information relative to the

The board has registered 2,455 stall
lions, divided as follows: 1924 pure
breds, 379 grades, 744 no-grades, s
pure-bred jacks, one grade jack, SO
no-grade jacks. The board rejected
90 stations on account of being un-
sound, and found IS horses recorded
in associations not recognized by the
state. Forty-nine licenses have been
issued since July / and a large num-
Der of others are being held pending
examination. Altogether 1850 horses
have been examined.

There seems to be a concerted
action among some of the newspapers
of the state to decharacterize Colonel
Roosevelt and belittle the wonderful
work he has accomplished in awak-
ening the American people to a sense
of their responsibility to themselves
and to the country. Notwithstanding
hypocritical ~pretensions to contrary
this sentiment has characterized these
newspapers and their political back
ers from the outset of Roosevelt's
public career. They are quite well
come to any satisfaction they may de
rive from their dog in the Manager
position but it will be wise for them
to refrain from such anim-adversions
when the people are arounds, for some
II is likely to get hurt, Roosevelt
is today more the idol of the people
than ever before in his career and
the MAI who opposes him opposes
the best in American life and the
best for American life.-Canton News.

in his opinion is the best in the coun-

The question of buying a new chem
ical engine will be brought up at the
next council meeting and will likely

will go to the fire house in the First

old heavy chemical engine for the
use of the rest of the city. This one
is entirely too heavy for a long u
and will probably be sold to a smaller
town. A new hosecart with a thou

to the First ward equipment.

WOMAN AS MODERN ATLAS.
BorsIum Represents Her Carrying the
Globe on Her Shoulders.

BorsIum Represents Her Carrying the
Globe on Her Shoulders.
Woman upholds the world In the
statue of Atlas which is receiving its
finishing touches in marble at the
hands of Gutzon Borglum, the New
York sculptor. He disagrees with the
conceptions Of the ancients, for this
figure is intended to record his con-
viction that the real burden of the
world is supported by women. Mr..
Borglum is not identified with any of
the associations which are laboring In
the cause of universal suffrage, but he
is merely expressing his personal
views on a subject to which he has
given much thought.
The sculptors of antique time model
ed Atlas as broad shouldered, heavy
thewed man, with a sweeping beard,
who on his back painfully balanced
the revolving setting Of the human
comedy. Mr.. Borglum presents the
tense and nervous form Of woman
clasping with both arms a great globe,
which rests on her shoulder, presses
roughly upon one side of her head and
strains every muscle under It's weight.
The statue is nearly life size.
