Circus In Paris Streets.

Writing Of street life in Paris, WI
helm Feldmann says In the Welt Spie-
gel that the unique features are the
gymnastic and acrobatic performances
which one sees there. Wherever traf-
fc will permit n may expect to e
the street acrobats, men, women and
children, spread their carpet, erect
their apparatus and, to the accompa-
niment Of a few instruments, some
times only a drum, give their perform
ances. Feats Of strength, balancing
and pyramid building are performed,
and then one of the youngsters In
tights collects the coppers from the
crowd which usually congregates.
This done, the performers throw long
cloaks yer their tights and move on
with their wagon to the next hating

AllMONY AND DIVORCE.

Now comes New York woman VIM
10 sure to be charged with "woman's
Snhumanity for woman" protesting to
be shocked at the multiplicity of d.
wees and proposing remedy in the
c0tal abolition of alimony, says Omaha
fBee. She conceives the prospect OF
alimony to be the chief cause of d.
vorces granted to women and de-
s,nounces the system as nothing but a
simple graft. Undoubtedly many de-
signing women can consistently take
no exceptions to these charges, and
1t Is not to be questioned that some
Junscrupulous lawyers will cooperate
with women for the purpose of OBJ
tanning financial emolument through
the operation of the divorce courts,
; but that alimony, or the desire to OBJ
|. tain alimony, constitutes the prevail
Ing cause and purpose of women
seeking legal separations from their
husbands, 1t is hard to believe, any
more than it would be wise, safe or
Just to do away with the law provid-
Ing for alimony. Society has come
TO recognize that there is such thing
es a justifiable divorce, and there is
certainly such thing as a woman
needing and deserving support from
the man from whom she seeks and OBJ
tains a divorce, and to abolish alimony
would work hardship on many women
and children, alike blameless for the
causes as well as the fact of the sep
aration.

MAKING PROOF
Settlers in the Gregory District Cash
in About 500, 600 Month

Gregory-The officials of the Unit
ed States land office located here
report that the final proofs are
being offered by the Tripp county
settlers at the rate of over 100000
month. And as it takes approx
mately $3.50 each for the settlers to
make final proof at this time, there
are on round numbers 150 settlers
making proof each month.
A considerable number of those set
tiers are returning to their former
homes and quite a number of them
are in such circumstances after the
hardships of homesteading that they
are offering their places for sale and
many must sell.
The past summer, both because of
insufficient rainfall generally over the
western states, and because Of the
tightness o. the money market has
been a dull one for the real estate
men. The sale Of land in this coun-
try has been very slow this summer,
as compared with the past two years.
AS Consequence land values in the
new county of Tripp have not taken
the sudden jump upward that might
have been expected. Around Gregory
and in fact all Of Gregory comfy and
in that part of Trip county imme-
diately contiguous to the town of Dal-
las at the end of the railroad Just
west of Gregory, the price of land has
been slowly but steadily increasing
and the sales as reported from week
to week show good increase In
price over those of last year.
But in Trip county what decided
Indian land there was on the market
all this summer was in small demand.
The addition now of quite few prov
ed up homestead claims to the list
of lands for sale in Tripp county has
caused land values in the new coun-
try to remain where they were last
spring and to make practically no ad-
vance.

STATES COMMISSIONER
Pure Foods and Drugs Commissioner
Makes Annual Report

Vermillion-Dr Cook, state food an,
drug commissioner, has just made hi
annual report to Governor Vessey fo
the year ending June 80, 1910.
IT comprises 15S typewritten pages.
The following are some of the lead
ing features of the report:
l. The commissioner has recon
mended the enactment of three new
laws. (a) Publicity Law, requiring al
oHlclal papers in the state to p1blisf
the bulletins of analyses sent out b,
the commission. fb) He has recon.
mended the enactment of a Clean FCoG
or Sanitary Inspection Law. This
would be a very important law, re
curing grocers to protect foods or
sale from dust and flies. 1t is well
known that through the avenue OF
both dust and flies several disease
are communicated, the most promi-
nent of which are tuberculosis and
typhoid fever. It is only recently that
we have begun to realize that more
deaths occur in this country every
year on account of the formerly sup
posed innocent fly than are caused
by all the wild beasts of the jung'es
Of India and Africa combined 1t is
high time, therefore, tnat something
was being done in South Dakota, as
has been done in several other s ates.
(c) A Net Weight Law, requiring the
net weight to be placed on all pack
ages of foods for the purpose of pre-
venting deception and fraud.
z. The commissioner recommends
substantial increase in the appro-
priatiOn in order to be able to enforce
all of the laws now upon the statute
books. There are two or three i'm
portant laws with which the comm $
sion has been able to do nothing on
account OF the lack OF funds.
3. A complete list of the bulletins
issued during the year are included In
the report.
4. The report Of the analyses OF
foods and drugs on sale in the state.
Over nine-hundred samples have been
analyzed in the laboratory. includ ng
canned goods, olives, pickles. catsup
salmon, oysters. jellies, jams pre-
serves. syrups, beverages, dried fruits.
food colors, peanut butter, -four saus-
age, mince meat. mushrooms, chewing
gum, extracts, vinegar, water, spices,
linseed oil, paint, stockfoods, etc. 1t
is found that II per cent of the foods
on sale have passed our law and that
% per cent are illegal. In case OF
drugs, however, the condition IS not
so favorable as out Of 276 drugs anal
wed only l07 were found to be pass
able This is the first systema tie
work on the analysis of drugs under
aiken in South Dakota. and it is eX-
)ected that in another year conditions
Will be very much improved. Several
parties were prosecuted during the
rear for selling adulterated foods and
irugs.

Three Old Timers

Beresford-An incident OF more
than passing interest recently oc-
Cured here, when by the me est
chance three men who formed a rar-
ty which worked as harvest hands,
about forty five years ago, met here
and enjoyed a reunion. During a
meeting of old pioneers, Kirk Collins
told of having worked his fathers
farm near Richland. this county. n
1865 1t was before the grasshcppar
days and crops were good.
He stated further th9t he paid the
then unprecedented wages of So per
day to five men whom he engaged to
bind on the old-fashioned reaper
At this point in the remarks Of Mr.
Collins, George Sinclair interrupted
him by declaring that he was one OF
the five men referred to- Elmer Sew
ard, who also was present, AMI hearn
the remarks of Mr. Collins, declared
that he was another, and J. E. Sim
clair made the third.
That three out of five harvest hands
who worked together forty-fve years
ago should meet in this unexpe ted
manner made the reunion of unusual
interest.

reservation, are becoming very bold
in this part of the state Mrs. Charles
Smalley, woman homesteade~ living

with the thieves.
They raided her place and drove
away all of her horses, thirty in num-
ber, which were in a pasture on the
south side of White river The loss
of the horses soon was detected and
ranchers in this vicinity started in
pursuit. They traced the thieves to-
ward the interior of the reservation
The pursuers gained on the thieves to
such an extent that the latter we're
compelled to abandon the stolen
horses, which were recovered, but thus
far the thieves have not been run
down.
The ranchers along the river are
keeping close watch on Their horses,
and are prepared to give the thieves
a warm reception should they again
make raid In this part of the state.
