Pierre, S. D.-State Fire Marshall

in this city several days looking ov-
er the situation in regard to the
condition Of alleys and back yards as
they may create fire risks. They
have completed their work, and re-
port that the city is in better shape
in that line than has been any Of the
other towns they have visited SO far,
and only four places were considered
as needing attention toward clearing
up what might be considered a dan

making a general tour of the different
towns of the state on this class of
work, and calling attention of the
different insurance companies operat-
ing in the state to the risks as pre-
sented by the towns generally, and
specifically to cases which need at
tention to make them safe. In this
they are going on the theory that
prevention is far better than fire

BURK RETIRES FROM

the retirement from the service of
j. S. Burke on May first. The retire.
ment was made at Mr.. Burke's re-

REAL FARMING NOW
WEST OF MISSOURI
TRAVELLERS NOTE THAT TRACTS
Up no 800 ACRES, INSTEAD
OF HOMESTEAD PLATS,
ARE BEING CULTIVATED.

Pierre, S. D.-Travelers over the
prairies between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills announce one
decided difference in the conditions
this year and past years in the fact
that many of the little five acre
patches, broken to show improve
ments for the purpose of making
final proof, are this year lying neg
lected. While that is the case with
these patches, actual farming ope-
rations on the part of the men who
are on the land to stay, are showing
a largely increased acreage of crop.
The titled fields now range from
eighty acres up to three hundred
acres instead of the little five acre
tracts. This will give the country
west of the river a real test as to it's
agricultural possibilities, which the
smaller tracts never could. give it.
Besides it means better farming as
it is real business instead of just
claim holding, and the country will
be better of for the change.

BACK TO WET COLUMN
IS L|NC0LN'S VOTE
NEBRAsKA's CAPITAL CIT,
BREAKS DROUGHT OF PAST
TWO YEARS AND RESTORES
THE SALOON.

Lincoln, Neb.-Lincoln today re-
versed its municipal policy of the
past two years and voted to return
to the system of licensing saloons.
The majority in favor of license,
with returns practically all in, is at
least 500, and may reach 1000. A
year ago the majority against license
was slightly over 900. A.. H. Arm
strong, republican and Business
Mems association candidate, is elect
ted mayor by a majority of approxi-
mately LOO over Robert Malone,
democrat. The entire republican
ticket is elected and the republicans
will control the city council by a
substantial majority.
The vote cast today is believed to
be the second, largest in the history
of the municipality. The campaign
has been a strenuous one, marked,
however, with but little bitterness.
The decision to return to the license
system for saloons was the great ur-
prise of the election. The general
impression was the city would con-
tinue "dry'' by a narrow margin. I'm
der the referendum vote which re-
establishes saloons the number OF
drinking places will be limited to
twenty-five, one each to a popuula-
ton of about 1000, and the license
fee will be $4,000 annually, the high
est fee ever imposed in the state. The
bars will be under what is known as
the daylight schedule" under the
provisions of the state law.

Hongkong, China. - The rebel
forces, augmented by bands of cri-

of the country in the Western half
of Kwantung Province. Battles are
being fought daily between the gov
eminent troops and rebels, while

burning on every side of the con-
tending forces. Hundreds have been
slain on both sides in the fighting.

IN TIMES OUTRAGE
Criticises Attempt to
Create Sympathy
for Accused.
HURTS ITS CAUSE
Declares 1t Calamity to Have
Its Cause Identified with
That of Criminal.

New York City.-In a signed edi-
torial, headed Murder is Murder
Col. Roosevelt, in the issue of the
Outlook which appears today, dis
cusses the arrest of James ]. McNa-
mara and others at Indianapolis upo
the charge of dynamiting the Los
Angeles Times building, and also the
charges Of kidnapping and conspiracy
made by labor officials against the
detectives for the arrest of the accus-
ed men.
Roosevelt declares that the worst
service to render labor is to seek to
identify the cause of unionism with
the cause of any man who may be
guilty OF a murderous attack. He
characterizes as grossly improper any
attempt by labor unions to create
public opinion in favor of the arrest
ed men merely because the alleged
crime was committed against a capt.
talist corporations; in other words,
that murder is murder, whoever
may have been the victim. He in
sists, however, that the accused men
should be assured of an absolutely
fair trial.

have been employed by the railroad

COUNTY SEAT CASE
IN REFEREES HANDS
GREAT MASS OF TESTIMONY CIV.
ZEN BY CASTLEWOOD TO
KEEP VICTORY FROM GO.
ING TO HAYTI.

Clear Lake, S. D.-After several
weeks had been devoted to the work
of taking the testimony in the coun-
lty seat contest between the towns
of C~astlewood and Hayti, Hamlin
county, the work has been concluded
and j. t. Law, of WATERFOWL, who
was appointed referee to take the
testimony, now is considering the
voluminous amount of testimony
given before him, preparatory to
making his findings in the case,
which will be notable as one of the
hottest county seat contests in the
history of the state.
Castlewood is the present county
seat and at the election last Novem-
Der the new town of Hayti sought
to wrest the county seat from Castle
wood. Under the state law it is ne
~cessary for an aspiring town under
such circumstances to secure two
thirds of the votes cast. On the face
of the returns Hayti had less than
half a dozen votes "tos the good" and
quite naturally the partisans of
i~Castlewood refused to surrender the
county seat, and instead instituted
an action in the state circuit court
by which they sought to show : that
many illegal votes were cast for
Hayti, and that Hayti did not secure
the necessary two-thirds vote.
j. T. Law vas appointed referee
by the court to take the testimony
and conducted the hearing in the
case. During the hearing which as
stated extended over several weeks,
every inch of ground was holly con-
tested by the opposing towns and
sensations were quite numerous. One
of the closing features of the con-
test was the impeachment of the tes-
timony of a prominent resident of
Hamlin county. One arrest has been
made for perjury and numerous
other arrests on charges of perjury
and bribery have been threatened.
Over 100 ballots were in question
and over 20 witnesses were sum-
moned and offered their testimony.
In addition the afidavits of over
ninety voters who had sworn in their
votes were involved in the hearing
and made a part of the record.

side will support \ bill to mpose "a
moderate duty.
Many OF the House Democrats
have been Influenced by = statement
from Governor Harmon of Ohio, that
III his judgment the placing of wool
on the free list would be both an eco
nomic and political mistake. Strong
hints also have been received that
the wool growers of Ohio are numer-
Gus and we'll organized, and that
the excellent chance the Democrats
now have of carrying Ohio next year
would be thrown away II the duty
or wool we're removed by the Dem
ocratic majority In the House.
less Than 23 Per Cent Ruin, It's
Said.
The Democratic leaders have been
informed by representatives of the
wool growers national organization
that any reduction in the duty on raw
wool below 25 per cent would mean
the destruction of the wool industry
of the country. The present duty on
wool is about 35 per cent. However,
the nine members Of the ways and
means committee who favor free
wool have not surrendered although
it has been pointed out to them that
II they insist on presenting a bill
providing for free wool to the Dem
ocratic caucus they will Ne outvoteu
and provision for a moderate duty
inserted.
In the end they may accept as a
compromise a Is per cent duty with
a provision for its gradual extinction,
but they will certainly make a hard
fight against anything higher. They
contend that If the House places a
higher duty on wool when the bill
goes to the Senate the duty will be
considerably raised there. In this
connection the argument is advance
ed by the advocates of a duty higher
than Is per cent that unless the
House bill treats the wool interests
sonsiderately the standpatters of the
Senate will give it no consideration
at all, and there will be no legisla-
ton, and therefore no relief for the
people from the iniquities Of the
present wool schedule.
