Big Ranch to Disappear,

Sioux Falls.-The latest of the big
Dakota ranches to be broken up be-
cause of the increasing value of land
for farm and blooded stock raising
purposes is the famous Carpenter-San-
born ranch near Pukwana. Brule coun-
~. This ranch originally contained
$4,000 acres, but now consists of $500
acres and extends to the city limits
Of Pukwana, none of the land being
more than three and one-half miles
from Pukwana.
Because of its highly developed con-
dition and immense size, compared
with eastern farms and ranches, this
ranch has been the center of interest
10 visitors to that part of the state,
and thousands have visited and inspect
ed it during the past few years. About
one-half of the vast tract is in high
state of cultivation, the buildings and
improvements upon it representing an
expenditure Of about $25O,00O.
This ranch, about the only remaining
one III that part of South Dakota lying
east of the Missouri river, will pass out
Of existence on June Is, when it will
be divided up and sold to farmers in
tracts of such size as may be desired
by the purchasers

CORNERSTONE OF NEW HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR COURT
HOUSE is LAID.
EXERCISES ARE IMPRESSIVE
citys Commercial Club Has Charge Of
Arrangements - Parade Preceding
Ceremony over Six Blocks Long
County 40 Years Old.


Bookings. In the presence of about
1900 people, representing the entire
county. the cornerstone of the new
100000 Brookings county court house
was laid with impressive ceremonies.
The Bookings Commercial club had
charge of the arrangements, and the
stone was laid by the Masonic grand
lodge. The parade preceding the cere-
mony was over six blocks long, and
comprised the cadet battalion of the
state college, with it's band; Company
G, of the national guard; all the frater-
nal orders represented here; the fire
department, with apparatus; county,
city and state college officials. Speech
es were made by some of the pioneers
of the county.
The county was organized forty
years ago, and the territory opened to
settlement fifty years ago, so remi-
niscences were in order. The box
placed in the cornerstone contained
copies of the county papers, samples
Of grains, coins and other interesting
relics. Brookings city kept open
house for the county and it was one
Of the most successful events ever
held here.

ing too sacred to be discussed or too

Delay unexplained.

Pierre. President Taft's failure to
nominate a federal Judge for the dis
triet Of South Dakota to succeed Judge
Garland, a vacancy having existed on
the bench for more than three months,
is exciting good deal of comment.
The attention of the president has
been directed to the fact that the jul
dicial business of South Dakota calls
for the appointment of Judge. De-
spite this fact the president has thus
far failed to make nomination. No
member Of the state delegation at
Washington has been advised when
the president will name judge, or
who will be named. The reason for
the delay is not explained, either by
the president or the attorney general.
There is good deal of speculation
rs to the cause. 1t is unusual for the
president to delay action in filling
places on the bench.

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

When my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as a coal of fire. 1 did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
1t itched. and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day saw in the paper the advertise
ment OF the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, so I got them and
tried them at once. My babys face
was as a cake of sores.
When l first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, could
see difference. In color it was red
der. continued with them. MY
baby was in terrible condition. /
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) four times a day, and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly. and her skin Is now pretty
and fine through using them. 1 also
use the Cuticura Soap today. and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
Is also good for shamnooing the hair.

Of Stranger.

The people Of this community are
wondering who was the mysterious
stranger who visited the ancient
adobe but a mile north Of here few
evenings ago and dug up a box Of
can that had been buried there fifty
years or more, says an Oakland cor
respondent Of the San Francisco

away 9 large quantity Of gold bull
lion that belonged to Granville Swift,
an early day miner who lived in this
hut while operating In the mines In
the hills east Of Chico, leaving in the
early COS with nearly $4,000 in
gold. which took six weeks to weigh
and required pack train and strong
guard to transport out Of the country.
The stranger was seen loiterina
about the adobe but one evening, and
q Mr.. Fawcett. who lives near, tried
to learn his mission. but failed. The
next morning Fawcett found where
box or can had been dug up during
the night. There were several stakes.
showing that measurements had been
made from a chart to locate the place

When Glanville Swift weighed his
gold he found two or more large por-
ter bottles Of 1t missing. It is sup
posed they were stolen and buried and
that this stranger learned Of their
whereabouts.
