REMOVAL OF ~"
is SUGGESTED
Think University Would Prosper
More In Larger Town

Mitchell, Dec. 24,-Special: The
coming session of the legislature
promises to be interesting IN many
respect. The report of Regent Hit
chcock, advocating the placing of all
normal schools upon the same basis,
and combining their scope to normal
work, has caused much comment,
and has started a lively discussion as
to the future of the state education
al institutions.
Numerous plans are proposed,
Some favor the a~boiishing of the
Aberdeen normal and the Springfield
normal, claiming that the Spearfish
school will take care of the needs of
the western part of the state, while
the Madison normal will do the same
for the east portion. Other favor
the moving of the state university
20 a larger city, where it will have
better facilities for rapid growth.
1t is claimed by some that Yer
million has not even a water supply
sufficient to furnish the university.
Another objection which is urged
against the Vermillion school is that
the people of that place seem to re-
gard it as a local institution, and
have continually kept it IN a turmoil
by attempting to interfere in bust
ness sffairs. This, it is claimed,
would not occur if the university
was situated in one of the larger
cities of the state, That it was a
mistake to locate the university in a
place so small as Vermillion is gen.
orally conceded, but whether there
will be a removal is an open ques-
ton.
The Huron Huronite advocates the
adjustment of the Springfield nor
NAL and the Aberdeen Normal, and
the moving of the university to
Aberdeen.

HORSE THIEVES
TO ~PENiTENTARY
Organized Gang Thought to Have
Been Working i'm Stanley Co.

Pierre. Dec. q. BY the
action of Circuit Judge Boucher in
special session of court at Fort
Pierre, the officers Of Stanley county
feel that they have at least badly
scotched a gang of all around thieves
which have been operating in the
southwest corner of that county, if
they have not effectually put a stop
to the work. The man Nj. NJ.
Edwards, who appears to have been
the head organization and was
classed as a regular Fagin in his
work, by a plea Of guilty was given
fourteen months in the penitentiary.
The two Mortified boys, sons of a
widow in that part of the county
who YER used by Edwards as
helpers. have both been sent TO the
reform school, and there was SYM
pathy for the mother until it was
learned from letters secured that
she vas working with Edwards, and
knew all about the actions of her
sons. She was called into court and
also plead guilt and was given a
sentence of eight months. Sam
Craddock, another of the crowd, got
eight months for his dealings in
saddles without consulting the own
ers; and Clifford Wyman, who has
been at Sioux Falls previous to this,
got fourteen months for his share in
that part of the county. The re-
cord of Edwards has been traced
back to his old home at Hamilton,
Missouri, where it was not which
would bear too much investigation.
Sheriff Buston landed the bunch at
the penitentiary in time to get their
share of the Christmas dinner at
that institution.

CONGRESSIONAL
APPORTIONMENT
South Dakota Sure Of q Third
Congressman

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 26.-The
political chess board is attracting a
great deal of attention in Legislative
circles just now, anent the apport-
ionment act to be taken up after the
HOLIDAYS. With needed data from
the census department at hand, some
shrewd moves are made on the board
every day. each party playing with
all possible skill for every point of
advantage.
One of the many spectators eager
" watching the game is Hon. Eben
w. Martin. representative Of South
Dakota. Mr. Martin chuckled the
other day when Maine made a clever
move to make the representation 440
members. If congress decides upon
a unit which will increase the men,
bership to 440. Maine would retain
it's delegation of four members.
Unless it is decided that the house
shall embrace 435, Iowa will lose on
representative.
1t will take a house of 433 men,
bers to save Missouri's delegation
Of sixteen representatives, a house
of APT to save Indiana's delegation
of thirteen, and a house of Ais to
save Ohio's delegation of twenty-one
representatives. 1t seems clear that
whatever unit of representation is
adopted, Minnesota will retain its
delegation of nine members. with a
possibility of gaining one,
Chairman Crumpacker believes
that the apportionment act should
be passed at this session, and it is
understood that he favors a unit of
representation which will insure no
loss of members to any state. Ger
tain republicans, however, among
them the delegation from New York
are opposed to action on the appor-
tionment act at this time. The New
Workers are in favor of delay in the
hope that the party will carry the
lower branch of the legislature next
year, and thus be in a position to
prevent a democratic gerrymander.
In either event-whether the game
stops to suit the plans of the New
Workers, or 1t goes on. Mr. Martin
has good reason to chuckle. South
Dakota cannot possibly be deprived
of a third congressman. If the unit
should be raised to 235, 900 for each
representative, South Dakota would
in all probably be cut off from in.
creased representation; but this is
out of the question as it would make
a big cut in the representation from
heavy republican states and turn the
game now in operation over to the
democracs.

"FIREBUG" AT
WESSINGTON
Insane Woman Thought To Have
Been Cause OF Resent
Fires

Chamberlain, Dec. ga chance
remark by a demented woman, it is
believed has sol yed the mystery sur
rounding the origin at several recent
fires at the town of Washington,
which gave every evidence Of having
been purposely set. Until the de-
mented woman made the chance re-
mark it was feared the town had to
confront the problem of hunting
down a malicious "frebug."
The demented woman Is Mrs San
burn, who recently became insane
through worrying over the disap-
pearance of her husband, who left
here several weeks ago after stating
that he was going to a point some
miles away to work. He never ap-
peared at the place indicated and
since leaving Washington has not
been seen or heard from. His wife
was left IN destitute circumstances
and the hardships experienced by
her in caring for herself and small
Children caused her to lose her
mind.
After she had been adjudged in
sane and ordered taken to the state
hospital fof the insane at YanktOn
she made the chance rematk, which
coming the the ears Of the authorit-
les, has convinced them that the in
cendiary fires were all set by her.
Her remark was in the form of a
question, and was do people say
that set those fires?"
When questioned futher her talk
became more rambling, during
which she stated that she didn't like
the idea Of Jack cher husband)
dancing with other women" The
last incendiary fire was set at the
ear of a large building which is
used as a public hall, and IN which
a dance was in progress at the time
it was discovered the building was
on fire. Mrs Sanburn lived IN a
little house just across the alley from
the building.
In her unbalanced condition of
mind, and with the cherries sur
rOundings of her home, she evident
ly got the idea that her husband was
mingling with the gay throng CT
dancers while ne left her home. In
a fit of jealousy and as an act of
retaliation she is believed to have
made her way unObserved across the
alley and set the see building on
fire.
In support of the belief that the
poor demented woman was the my
sterious firebug. 1t is noted that
there have been no other incendiary
fires since she was taken into cusOdy
and taken before the county board
of insanity.

Elliott Receives Endorsement

Washington. Dec. "a Special:
That James Elliott is the most pro-
bable candidate for the position as
Judge of the federal courts in South
Dakota is taken from the fact that
the senatorial delegation, consisting
of Senator Crawford and Gamble
gave their endorsement to that can
didate for the Office TODAY. This
will end the strife which has been
on for some time.
Senator Gamble talked of the
qualifications of the various men
and set forth his reasons for indoors
ing James d. Elliott.
He emphasized the fact that the
governor. the members of supreme
court, the chairman of the republic
an state central committee, and a
long list of prominent lawyers, have
indOrsed Elliott. As to the fact,
Elliott is now solicitor for the Mil
waukee. Senator Gamble urged
that he was too big a man to be in
fluenced by any previous corporate
connection.
So far as the showing of support
goes. both Senators Gamble and
Crawford having ipdorsed Elliott,
the appointment would seem likely
to go TO him. At the same time it
is pretty we'll understood the presid-
ent will look the ground over for
himself without much reference to
Endorsements.
Representative Martin also talk
ed with the president on the judge
ship. Mr. Martin presented his two
sons. George and Paul. who are in
school at Harvard, to the president.

The Boy

Grimy, ragged, tousled boys in the

State Receives Flags

Pierre, Dec. 26.-The two South
Dakota state flags. authorized and
for which $3.50 was appropriated by
the legislature of 1909, have arrived
and have been placed in the rotunda

tiful creations and were designed by
Miss Ida Andlng of the historical de-
partment.

MUST SERVE
THREE YEARS
Supreme Court Sustains BRANDED
Decision

Organized horse stealing ended in
this locality with the conviction of
Frank BRANDED and Fred Cline, and
the death Of George Mccarthy. AS
often remarked George beat the
game by dying. but the other two
must pay the price"
The supreme court this week Sus-
tanned the circuit court in the Bran
del case, tried sometime ago at
Highmore. He was sentenced to
three years in the pen.
This was first Of the trials involv-
ing BRANDED. Fred Cline, and Geo.
Mccarthy. The Cline case issimilar
to Brandel's, and is now pending in
the supreme court. Geo. Mccarthy
died before his case came TO trial.
Local interest was gwen to the
cases, because Hand county was af-
fected as well as Hyde by the organ
lied stock stealing which had been
going on for several years.
These cases also producted a legal
battle of more than ordinary inter
est and Importance. The prosecu-
ton was conducted by Johnson and
O'Brlen, of Highmore, and Harlan
Bushfield, of Miller. The parties
were ably defended by A. X. Gard
ner, of Huron. John PuSev, Of Miller

OF INTEREST
TO FARMERS
Some Valuable Hints and In
formation Taken From
Farm Papers
Getting Winter Eggs

We are in receipt Of a number of
inquiries as to the best method of
feeding for egg production. Alum
dance of food of the right kind. and
work on the part of the hen to get
it. will produce winter eggs provid-
ed the hen is comfortably housed.
To feed for winter eggs when twice
as many hens as the house should
hold are huddled together is simply
a waste Of feed. Hens should have
five square feet per bird of floor
space; three Is the least they should
get along on in even a canvas front
house, where the air is much better
than in the closed house. Before
feeding for eggs, then, Gull your
flock to the number which is most
profitable for you to keep in your
house.
In culling, select for your layers
birds of as nearly the same type and
habits as possible. Separate the
hens from the pullets. hens will get
rolling fat on the ration which
pullets need for egg production and
the completion Of growth.
Economical feeding demands that
we use the feed we can grow, or
obtain easily; hence. we cannot give
q ration which will suit every case.
A good rule to follow is to give the
chickens each day a ration composed
of fifteen per cent meat, or animal
food in the form of good beef
Scraps, or cut green bone. prefer
ably the latter; twenty-five per cent
green food or vegetable matter,
and sixty per cent grain, not more
than fifteen per cent of which should
be corn.
A wet mash gives opportunity for
feeding table scraps to advantage
and of utilizing all the vegetable
waste, as this, cooked, usually forms
the basis for the wet mash. If feed
is being cooked for the hogs, the
chickens will enjoy a share. Ii the
mash is fed at evening, throw some
grain in the litter as well, to make
sure that each bird goes to roost
with a full crop. Give cracked in
stead of whole corn to induce
exercise Wallace Farmer.
