To End County Seat War
One Town on Wheels Moved

Aberdeen, S. D.. June 2o-Lambro.
s. D.. a town of two thousand in
habitants and several hundred hous-
es, was put on wheels the other day
and moved over to Winner, S. D.,
where, al the result of bitter county
seat war and agreement between the
two towns, it was consolidated with
Winner and as town ceased wholly
to exist. Large store buildings with
their valuable contents. were moved
intact, Banks, with their cash in the
vaults, were put on wheels and made
the trip across the prairie while
clerks continued to work and money
was received and paid out to custo-
mers. Without disturbing the Off
Gals, the county courthouse was
hitched to two of the largest traction
engines ever built and was hauled
from Lamro over TO Winner, where it
was placed on a foundation previous
ly prepared for it The Lamro hotel,
drawn by seventy-two teams of horses
made the trip without so much as
ceasing business during a single meal.
| Lamro was unique in being a town
built by Indians for the use of white
men Indians promoted the town, sold
lote, opened business houses and fin
/ ally elected themselves to office With
the exception of Bruc Backus, a well
/ known lawyer of that section of the
country, not a single white man was
elected to office in that town, nor. for
that matter, in the county. Indians
were elected to the offices of county
commissioner. county Judge, county
treasurer and to all other places.
However, the Indians were at last
outgeneraled by the white men. The
red men We're familiar with many
things, but they did not understand
the ways of American railroad build
ers. Lamro was promoted while the
railroad was still twenty miles away
but headed in that direction. In fact
the survey ran through the spot upon
which the Indianas built the town
But the railroad made a detour just
great enough to put Lamro off the line
of road and the white men built the
town of Winner on the road and only
three miles from the Indian town.
Beginning Of Trouble
In the meantime Lamro had grown
rapidly and was a town of two thous
and people, with all sorts of business
houses, grain elevators, lumber yards
etc, when the railroad went by. The
organizers of Winner invited the La
roites over to their town, but the in
vitation was scorned.
why should we move over there?'
they asked. This is the county seat
We have all the offices and here WI
will remain.
So the people living at Winner or
fganized county seat fight and car
ried the matter before the voters a.
the November elections. BY agree
ment between the two towns the losel
agreed to abandon it's site and move
bodily over to the winner of the fight

WIDOWS FIGHT ENDS
Washerwoman Who Sought
Wealth Is Dead.

Des Moines, June 2o.-Mrs. Marie
E. Schiller, eighty-six years old, Sis
ter of and direct heiress to the mil
William Marsh Rice of New York,
died at her humble home in Oak Park,
a Des Moines suburb.
Mrs. Schiller, who supported her
self during the last few years by wash
ing the clothes of her more favored
neighbors, died with fortune just out
of reach.
bert T. Patrick. now in Sing Sing
prison under sentence of death, charg.
ed with numbering the millionaire is
drawing to a close. Mrs. Schiller had
been notified that in any event she
would share in the estate.
Death occurred in the little single
room cottage in which Mrs. SCHUYLER
has made her home for many years
The surroundings were of abject pow.
erty. The one room in which she hv.
ed with her children contained only
the bare necessities in the way OF
furniture.
Old as she was, Mrs. Schiller had
been forced to work to the last The
immense estate of her brother could
not be divided until the case of At.
torney Patrick was decided finally
Mrs. Schiller and Mr.. Rice were
members Of a family of ten children
reared in Crawford county, Pennsyl

The contest by the Des Moines rel
atives began in 1901, soon after the
murder of Mr.. Rice.

True to it's name Winner won out by a
small vote and the very next day ar
rangements were begun for the house
moving.
The courthouse. big two-story
frame building was the first to be
moved since it was necessary that
the big house be put in place before
smaller houses blocked the way. Two

UNSEx DANCING IS
c. {. WORKERS PLAN
Would Eliminate All of Its
Sinful Pleasures to Pro- ~
tect Young Girls.

Chicago, June 90 "Denatured
dancing" is the suggestion OF H. H.
Van Meter. who believes it will close
the yawning abyss which he says
turks at the foot of the waltz and
two-step path. 1t will rob the dance
of it's sinful lure and leave only its
beneficial feature-that of exercise.
Mr. Van Meter is superintendent of
evangelistic work for the Chicago
Christian Endeavor union. His firm
est conviction is that more young girls
have fallen by the wayside through
the medium of the dance than for any
other cause.
Now there may be a certain
amount of valuable exercise in dane
ing" Mr.. Van Meter said, in an ad-
dress before 200 girl residents of the
Chicago Refuge, Fifty-first street and
Indiana avenue. IF there is, it is the
only valuable feature of present day
dancing.
But l have a plan for the elimina-
ton of all wicked pleasure from the
dance, leaving only this valuable fea-
ture of exercise.
Let the devotees of dancing for
exercise hold their dances separately
let the men hold one dance and the
women another. Then there will be
an end to the evils of the dance and
only then"
Incidentally Mr.. Van Meter dis.
closed his belief that society dancing
the dance higher up" as it were
is as bad as any other kind in the
world. High school fraternity and
to perdition, he thinks, only a few
steps behind their grown brothers
and sisters in society" Participants
in any dance, however respectable
it may seem on its face, are on par
in his understanding. with the fire.
Quenters of the cheap dance halls
run in connection with disreputable
saloons.
THE dances given by the high
school Greek letter sororities and fra
ternities are greater source of dan
ger to the young girls who attend
them than these tough saloon danes,
Mr.. Van Meter told his hearers.
when a girl attends a sorority OF
other exclusive dance she goes there
entirely unaware of the temptations
and dangers that surround her. Hence
she falls a prey to the evil minded
man who may happen to be present
This type of dance is therefore more
harmful than the dances given al
disreputable places, as at the latter
an innocent girls knows the charac
ter of the men that frequent them and
is consequently on her guard.
More than IS per cent of the girls
residing at this refuge were forced
into life of shame because of the so
called pleasure Of dancing 1t is ar
evile that should be satmped out
Mr.. Van Meter scored the board Of
education and the supreme court o,
Illinois for permitting dancing to be
taught in the public schools while pro
hibiting morning prayers and ser
mons from the Bible. He termed the
school board fool board"

DREW LARGE FEES
Did Trust Busters" For u.
S. Government.

Washington, June 20.-"Trust bust
ing" cost the government ss45,1s4 in
disbursements to special assistants to
the encouragement and to district
attorneys between March 5, 1909, and
May 81, 1911, according to report
which the department of justice has
transmitted to Chairman Beall, of the
house committee on expenditures in
that department.
The largest individual disbursement
was to Henry l.. Stimson. at present
secretary of war, who received $S3.32O
for his services in the sugar fraud
prosecution. Others who received
large special fees were Frank B. Kel-
logg. $4s,917 in the Union Pacific and
Standard Oil cases; J. c. McReynols,
$35,516 in antitrust cases, especially
the tobacco case; c. A. Severance,
Kellogg's partner. s2s.237, in anti
trust cases; Winfred T. Denison, $685.
OPS in the sugar fraud cases; B. D.
Townsend, $24,O1s.32, in the land
fraud cases.
The various sums expended in these
fees are aside from the regular ex.
expenses of maintaining department OF
justice, special fund being at the
disposal of the attorney-general, who
determines the compensation of spe.
cial assistants in his discretion.
Two items of expenditure which
attracted attention of Chairman Beall
are $4,000 to A. A. Bierney and $40,
200 to Morgan H. Beach in land con
demnation cases in the District of Co
lumbia. I'VE are going to look into
all these condemnation cases and
learn if there is reason for fees such
as are shown" said Mr.. Beall.

II am inclined to think that con-
gress could exercise that constitution

But there might be complications. OF
course, many such concerns would
continue to do an interstate business

Mr.. Kern. I'm connection with Judge

government to fix selling prices as a
guaranty of steady prices and pro

CLOTHING INSURANCE FOR Wo.
MEN,

Sounds rather sensational. but let
us explain. Washable clothing is com.
posed of linen, cotton and wool. and
these fabrics are torn to pieces by the
alkalies and caustics which are the
main component part of most of the
yellow rosin soaps on the market. If
you use true. honest soap which pro-
ssesses the right cleansing and anti
septic properties, you insure the life
Of the fabrics.
Hewitt's Easy Task soap. made from
pure tallow. cocoanut oil and borax,
contains no destructive nor unpleasant
factor. 1t is pure. white soap, most
effective in its cleansing qualities.
