Want a Herd Law.

w. D. Dillon and E. A. H. Briggs,
of Quinn, are in the in the city this
week circulating petitions for the
purpose of putting to a vote of the
people at the general election this fall
the question of establishing a herd
law in Pennington county. They are
receiving much encouragement and
there is no doubt but they will secure
the required number of signatures be-
fore they are through with the can
vas of the county as the majority of
people are in favor of eliminating the
free range. The rapid settling up of
the country makes this action neces-
sary for the protection of those who
wish to engage in farming and will
encourage thousands of new settlers
to come here from the east and invest
their money.

NORTHWESTERN OFFICIALS
TO VISIT BLACK HILLS
General Agents of the Sys-
tenn to Have An Excursion

Through efforts of E. E. Benjamin
general agent for the North Western
railroad there is a definite prospect
of the Black Hills being the district
selected for the annual excursion of
the general agents of the North
Western System. 1t is customary
for the c. & N. w. to call a meetin G
of all their general agents every year,
usually early in June. They meet in
Chicago and after several days devoted
to discussing matters of interest to
the business, they start on an excur-
sion of about weeks duration, over
some certain division Of the road.
Last year they inspected Wiscon-
sin and Michigan divisions and it was
during that trip, that E. E. Benjam-
in suggested the idea Of directing
their course to the Black Hills for the
outing of 1910.
That his suggestion has met with
approval by the officials is indicated
by letter received yesterday from
General Freight and Passenger agent
Miller, who says that the plan is be-
ing seriously considered and initiates,
pointenly, that Deadwood and the
Black Hills will be their objective
point on this year tour. Judging from
the general tenor of the letter, it
appears that the affair is practically
decided upon, there being only enough
doubt expressed to permit of a
change of plans in case of some un-
forseen conditions arising.
The coming of this party Of railroad
men means volumes to the Black Hills
in the way of advertising. These gen.
eral agents are from all parts of the
country, from New York to San Fran
cisco and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf, as we'll as from all parts OF
Canada. There are about seventy-tive
of them, all men of superior business
ability, who are able to grasp COM
prehensive knowledge of the resources
of the localities they visit and in po-
sitions to widely advertise such places
as appeal to them. The prospect of
their visit will be reported to the bus
iness mems associations that they
may take such action in the way OF
providing entertainment, as the i'm
portance of the events warrants.
If they decide to come to theBlack k
Hills they will be here this month.
They will travel in solid Pullman
train, with diners, office cars, obser-
vation cars and all the accessories OF
modern railroad travel. - Pioneer

Death of Freeman Knowles.

Freeman Knowles, editor and pub
Usher of the Lantern at Deadwood,
died at lis o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, aged ga years. The direct cause
of his death was pneumonia following
an operation performed at Hot
Springs six weeks ago.
He was a veteran of the civil war,
an able speaker and fluent, though
caustic writer. He allied himself
with the socialists in 1890 and was
one of the strongest advocates of the
doctrines of that political organiza-
tion. He is survived by his wife and
seven children.

JANIS AS roM.RoY.

Elsie Janis, In George AIDES new
three-act musical comedy, The Fair
Cold" is the attraction announced at
the Grand opera house, Davenport,
next Tuesday. Miss Janis is dainty
coincidence, whose meter is giving
wonderfully amusing caricature imitar
lions of noted American actors and
actresses in their most famous roles.
In the The Fair Co-Ed" she plays the
part OF a young school girl, typical
tom-boy, who is the only girl student
in a small college which has just
adopted the policy of co-education of
the sexes. At the common cement fes-
tivities the Cold" DISCUSSES herself
as a navy cadet and meets with some
surprising adventures during that fes-
tai period. Miss Janis has made a
tremendous individual success in 1.-THE
Fair Co-Ed' during its prolonged run
at two theatres, the Knickerbocker
and the Criterion in New York, and a
later extended season at the Stude-
baker theatre. Chicago. Miss Janis
and her company of so people come
here with the entire Broadway pro-
duction intact.

kENNEoYs NEXT PLAY.

There is a great deal of speculation
| in New York, London, Chicago, Paris
and elsewhere among theatrical man
ayers as to just what sort of play the
next one from the pen of Charles Ram
| Kennedy will be. Mr.. Kennedy is the
brilliant English educator and lecturer
who wrote THE Servant in the House"
which comes to the Illinois Sunday,
matinee and night. The offers that
Mr.. Kennedy has received from pro-
ducers for a new play are almost be-
yond description. The sums that have
been held up before him If he will only
sit down and write another play would
ordinarily discomfort the ordinary play
wright. The furore caused by "The
| Servant in the House" has convinced
managers that any play of the bril-
liant Englishman will be huge sue
cess. However, Mr.. Kennedy is not
playwright in the true sense Of the
word. He was rich before he penned
THE Servant in the House" Mr.. Ken
nedy had definite purpose In writing
1.-THE Servant in the House." He
knows that play will live for years af.
ter he has gone. The author worked
many days and nights over THE Ser
want in the House" He has admitted
that, in the case of the famous church
speech, he rewrote that now recog-
nized classic more than 200 times af-
ter 1t was in type. While no announce
ment has been made, it is rather gen.
orally understood that when Mr.. Ken
nedy has new play ready he will
turn it over for production to that ar
tistic and painstaking actor-manager,
Henry Miller, who produced "The Ser
want in the House." and for whom Mr..
Kennedy holds very high regard.
