ant, vindicated Mrs. Linch, whose
character was seriously attacked by
the allegations of her husband. The
court was unable, from the evidence
to find either party guilty of the stat
utory offenses charged, but granted
the divorce to the wife on the
grounds Of extreme cruelty and for
chile desertion. She is also given
third interest in the Piedmont
ranch and the costs Of the case are
put upon the husband. The Neb-
raska property is also to be decided
to Mrs. Linch.
The case was probably the long
est suit ever tried in the local cir
cult court, having commenced Mon
day afternoon and concluding yester
day noon. Mrs. Linch's share Of the
property is estimated to be worth ov
er $4,000.

VALUATION HAS
DECREASED SOME.

The books of the county assessor
which have just been completed for
the year 1910, show the grand total
valuation Of all property in Law
renee, exclusive of railroads to be
$7,615, ,474. This about $16o,o0s
less than last year and the decrease
is principally due to reduction in
the valuation of mineral land. For
long time, unproductive mineral
land has been required to bear q
burden of taxation, generally con-
ceded to be too high and as the state
board of equalization left the matter
of mineral taxation entirely in the
hands of the Lawrence county board
number of justifiable reductions
were made. In addition to this
there has been some lessening OF
taxable mining property through the

good wages are paid, decided that
they could safely take a chance on

DRY FARMING CoNGREs.

Gate City Guide-There will be a
special meeting of all public spirit
ed citizens this evening at the busi-
ness mems club to plan for the Dry
Farming Congress which is to be
held in Rapid City next week. Ii is
most urgent that something further
be done for the congress both in the
way of raising money aud of arous-
ing interest. Only a few of the peo-
pie of Rapid City seem 10 realize
what, in actual dollars and cents,
as well as in interest and education
this congress means. and it is GER
tain that the advertising which will
result from this convention will be a
very poor sort if the affair is borne
by a few people, and the whole re-
sponsibility as wei as the expense
of the affair involves upon few OF
the more progressive. If there was
ever a state which needs this priT
ciple it is South Dakota. The re-
ports coming in from over the coun-
try this year show that the only
farms which have had any crops
whatsoever this year are those who
have put these principles into prac-
tise. One man down in the valley,
has amid the barren fields of his
neighbors, raised thirty bushels of
wheat to the acre, by these methods,
and he is only one. The trouble is
that our farmers are not educated
in the principles involved, and are
therefore continuing to farm in the
old way, some of the land lying idle
as a result.

A Canadian lawyer tells this one:
A bailiff went out to levy on the
contents of house. The inventory

cellar. When the dining room was
reached, the tally of furniture ran
thus:
"One dining room table, oak,
"One set chairs CO., oak,
"One sideboard, oak,

Then the word full was stricken

JEFFRIES BREAKING DOWN?
Rumors Reach New York That He Is
In Poor Condition.

Is James Jeffries i'll and is there
an attempt to conceal the fact
from the public? Rumors have
reached Broadway all the way from
California that Jeffries is in poor
physical condition; that he finds 1t
impossible to do strenuous work and
that he Is actually in need of medical
attention.
Letters have been received here
from sporting men on the coast to the
effect that Jeifries is worrying aAot
as to his ability to get into proper
trim for the fight with Johnson and
is somewhat discouraged because he
still finds his wind deficient. One Of
these letter writer's in screed to the
Sun man says:
do not be surprised if there is an
explosion at .Ieffries' camp He Is
ailing with various troubles and is in
no condition to train hard. Berger
and Choynski both want to keep the
truth secret because the truth may
hurt the fight, but nevertheless it is
fact that Jeffries is i'll and may call
the fight off at any moment.
"Jeffries is peevish and ill-tempered
nearly all the time. He looks heavy
and flabby and he has nothing Of the
old speed. If the fight took place
within week Johnson would cut jim
to ribbons first and then knock him
out There is conflict of authority
at Jeffries' quarters and the big fell
low seems visibly annoyed by 1t. He
looks disgusted and as If he is sorry
he ever decided to return to the ring.
If he does not call the fight off 1t will
be for two reasons-either he will
think he can get back his old
strength. or unwillingness to lose the
$4,000 forfeit"
This kind Of information will be re-
coived by many persons with know
ing winks. for they are the ones who
have insisted from the start that
there'd never be a fight; also that
neither Jeffries nor Johnson ever in
tended to fight and made the match
solely for the purpose of squeezing
a food of money out of the easy going
public.

A CONTINUING AGREEMENT
Evidence to Connect F. Augustus
Heinze With Copper Pool.

New York, May 3.-After day Of
almost fruitless delving into the op-
erations OF the Heinze family and as
sociates in United Copper in 1907, the
government at the trial of F. Angus
tus Heinze succeeded in bringing out
some evidence by which it is hoped
to connect the defendant with the al
legged pool in that stock which culmin-
ated In October of that year with
failure Of the firm of Otto Heinze &
Co. and the panic.
Although Otto Heinze, the defend
ants brother, insisted that F. A.
Heinze had no connection with any
pool or with the operations that were
undertaken to protect it in the mark
ct, the government attorneys got Max
Shultz, his partner, to identify an
agreement given by F. A. Heinze to
the firm of ]. F. Bache & Co. in which
+. A. Heinze undertook to guarantee
any accounts the firm then had or
might have in the future with A.
Schultze or Arthur P. Heinze, his
brother.
This agreement was dated Jan. 10,
1906, and the defence got Mr.. Schultze
to say that 1t had no reference to
United Copper or any transactions in
1907, but Judge Hough admitted it in
evidence, declaring that on its face
it was a continuing agreement. j., F..
Bache & Co. was one of the broker
age houses to whom the checks of the
firm of Otto Heinze & Co. were made
out which Hein7e is alleged to have
overcertifed. These checks were to
pay for United Copper stock which
was sent in response to the call sent
oIt on Oct. IA by the firm when 1t
looked to them as if the shorts had
been cornered.

BARRED FROM STATE
Department Finds Irregularities
In United Surety Company.

President knab and His Son Said
to Have Used the Insurance Com
pany For Their Personal Financial
Ends-lt Appears That the Metro
poIitan Trust Company Received 16
Per Cent For Discounting a Note
For the knsbes Endorsed by the
Company.
rhe insurance department of New
York state has forbidden the United
business in the state, owing to an
impairment of the company's capital
and to Irregularities in the conduct
of its business. The department
finds that Ernest ]. Knabe n Balti-
more and William Knabe of this city,
VINO until recently controlled the COM
pany, used the company for their per-
sonal ends in financial operations, and
the investigation which brought these
to light also revealed such practices
on the part of some financial institu'
tions that the insurance department
has brought them to the attention OF
the banking department.
In the one specific case affecting a
banking institution made public in
the insurance departments formal
statement, it is set forth that the
Metropolital Trust company got 16
per cent for discounting a note Of the
Knabes. secured by an indemnity
bond given by the Surety company.
The Knabes seem to have been good
payers of these bonuses, for their tes-
timony shows that in something over
year they paid between 100000 and
S50,000 to brokers representing them
in such transactions, the greater part
of the money being turned over to the
financial institutions.
While investigating the Peoples
Mutual Life Insurance association
and league, the insurance department
found that the Knabes had some con-
nection with the Louisville promoter,
John Tevis, who tried to get control
of that concern to reinsure its busi-
ness in the Federal Life Insurance
company of Canada, and that through
Tevis the Knabes had become inter-
ested in that Canada company.
What the department there learned
suggested an investigation of the
United Surety company's affairs and
this was undertaken in connection
with the Maryland department. Be-
sides the revelations already noted,
this examination revealed consider
able loans to personal friends of the
Knabes on doubtful collateral.
