STATE PRESENTS
ITS EVIDENCE IN
The RATE CASES
Attempt Made to Show That
New Schedule Would Not
Injure the Roads.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 21.-The
hearing in the passenger rate case in
volving the reduction of passenger
fares in South Dakota from 3 to
2 cents per mile, has been resumed
ut the headquarters Of the state board
of railroad commissioners in this city.
AT a hearing held in Chicago several
weeks 6 the testimony of the rail-
roads was taken, and the state now is
presenting it's case.
The hearing is being held before J.
Howard Gates, of this city, who was
appointed a special master to take the
testimony by Judge Garland, Of the
United States Court, after the various
railroads with lines in the state had Sc
cured an order restraining the railroad
commissioners from putting into eff
feet a new schedule reducing pas
senger fares to the sum stated. 1t prob
ably will be several days before the
hearing is concluded, when the special
master will make his findings and re-
port to Judge Garland.
The state is making a hard fight to
show that the proposed reduction would
not be con1scatory, as cia.med by the
various railroads, and that the business
transacted by the companies in South
Dakota is of such volume as to war
rant the proposed reduction.

STATE GUARD ORDERED
TO MANEUvER AT SPARTA

WATERFOWL, S. D., March 21.-C. II.
Englesby, adjutant general of the South
Dakota National Guard, has issued a
letter to the company COM
over the state, asking advice
upon the annual encampment of the
citizen soldiers during the coming sea-
son. The general has received a letter
from the war department stating that
II the guard is to leave the state this
year it must go to Sparta, Wis, and as
his date comes late in September, it
is thought that because so many mem
bers of the guard are farmers it will
be impossible for them to leave their
home so late in the fall.
The company commanders have been
asked to express a request either for
a regular camp at Camp Roosevelt, the
permanent grounds of the guard, or to
go to Sparta.
Resulting from an inspection under
Colonel A. S. Frost, the company of in
fantry at Dell Rapids has been mus
tered out, and q company will be or
gal.lzed in this place to fill this va
cancy. This will make the third mill
tary company which this city sup
ports.

MINERS UNION UNDER
RESTRAINING ORDER

Deadwood, S. D., March 21.-During
the tendency of a temporary injunc-
ton issued in the circuit court here
yesterday by Judge Rice, the members
of the Terry Peak Miners union are
restrained from using the word scab
to the %nonunion men being daily i'm
ported by the mining companies, or in
any way n1olesting either the Golden
Reward company or it's employees. The
injunction, which will be argued March
"a, was sweeping. The company
charged the union men with intimida-
ton, using bitter invective and causing
the company heavy financial loss. The
miners are restrained from congregat-
ing or from interfering by word, sign
or action with the men, and in effect
prevented from picketing the compa-
y property, where armed guards are
constantly employed. The injunction
followed a series of alleged threats and
intimidatluns.

Adjutant General C. Fl. EnglesbY IS
not expecting that he will be called

new capitol building at Pierre, the
headquarters of the state railway com"
mission will also be removed from
Sioux Falls to Pierre and occupy the

The new order may also require the
presence of the secretary of the state

when he is not out on the itineraries or

The idea is said to be to keep the de-

of the public examiner, ]. L. Jones, at

to occupy rooms in the new capitol

PASTOR EXPOSES A
GIGANTIC FRAUD

Yankton, S. D., March 49,
Rev. F. V. Stevens, of the local
Congregational church, working
through the state department at
Washington and foreign sources
has unearthed a gigantic system
Of fraud perpetrated by the men
of clerical garb and almost as
numerous as an army, who rep
resent themselves as workers
for schools, hospitals and or
phanages of the C%haldean
church. Mr.. Stevens informa-
ton shows that there are no such
institutions in connection with
the Chaldean church, and yet
the officials do not sense the
shame of giving credentials to
the solicitors to 90 out into the
world and prejudice the cause
of foreign missions by a graft
which yields hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars, not a penny of
which goes for the purpose rep
resented by the clerical graft
ers.

CARTRIDGE ExPLoDEs IN
PIPE OF A SMOKER

buffalo. S. D.. March 22.-
While Frank Gilbert. assistant
in a local store, was engaged
in counting dynamite caps, Max
Keene, a friend, strolled UP to
him, filled and lighted a pipe.
and then discussed with Gilbert
the horrors of dynamite explo.
stons. Suddenly there was a
sharp report and the dynamite
caps were thrown promiscuous-
ly about, but fortunately without
exploding. The explosion
proved to be a revolver car
fridge, which in some unac-
countable manner had been
placed in Keene's pipe with the
tobacco. The pipe was shat
tered into small bits and Keene
was burned somewhat about
the face. That the dynamite
caps did not explode is consid-
cred miraculous.

This kind of fear Is destructive, not
