on his person. Dickson was picked up
by the sheriff by mere chance when

tracked Dickson seven miles north of
the city, and found that he had been

night. After holding Dickson week

as to any robbery, no evidence being
secured the sheriff permitted Dickson
to leave the jail, but had him deposit
his money in one of the banks for safe
keeping. Dickson said he came by the
money honestly and that it was the
accumulation of twenty-five years of
hard work and saving. He worked
mainly for farmers, he said, and what
ever travelling he did he either walked
or beat his way on the railroads.
Afraid Of all banks he said he always
carried his money with him and travelled
along with all kinds of humanity, and
none Of them ever made an attempt to

scandinavian Celebration

The Scandinavians of Webster and
Day county have started a movement
looking towards a rather extensive
celebration on June 7th next. South
Dakota, and this part of the state in
particular, has large percentage of
these people, and they feel that the
event is one that is worthy of COM
remuneration. The Swede, as we'll as
the Norwegian, takes a pride in look
ing back upon the history connected
with the events eliminating on this
date. What took place then proved
that these people had advanced in
point of civilization to the extent that
it was possible without the sacrifice of
lives, the shedding of blood and the
destruction of property for two great
nations to settle their disputes. These
people in form severed their political
and governmental connections, but by
by doing so they, in fact, developed
for one another a greater respect and
warmer brotherly feeling than Fever
previously experienced. --Sisseton Rec

About Express Rate-

The state railway commission has
ordered a reduction of 80 per cent on
South Dakota express rates, and the
companies have just had hearing, in
protest. The representatives of the
companies make the same old plea
that they are losing money on South
Dakota business, and that any reduc-
ton in rates would be confiscary. The
companies of course are paying enor-
nous dividends but their books show
that they are making it all from inter
state business, and any effort TO reduce
rates within a state brings out the
proof that the companies are losing
money steadily on interstate business.
The process is very simple one.
The cost they say is in the handling. 1t
costs just as much TO accept and book
a package from Sioux Falls to Hart
ford as it does package from Sioux
Falls to New York. OF course in the
former case the service performed is
not so greet but the proportion of
Office expence put upon it is heavier in
the case of business within the state
than on the long haul. The express
companies insist that the state bust
ness shall pay all the Office expense
within state. but get credit only for
shipments between two points within
the state, and so of course the com
panies lose money in this state, as they
do in every other state, though at the
same time, their stock is paying huge
dividends, and the stockholders are get
ting rich.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion recently held that state commits
sioners must consider interstate bust
ness in fixing rates. Judge Sanborn
only few weeks ago rendered deci-
sion verifying this ruling by the Inter-
state commerce commission. 1t would
seem To be natural corollary that the
profits of interstate business should
also not be ignored in the fixing of
rates within the state, and if this rule
should be adopted, the contention of
the express companies at Pierre would
fail. Certainly it can not be argued
that interstate rates must be consid-
cred in fixing state rates, and at the
same time that state rates must be
figured wholly on state business.
Otherwise, no interstate reduction of
rates either on railroad or express
business could be accomplished.

Caught by a Coat

Failure to remove his coat from q
load of oats which he had hidden in q
coulee on the outskirts of WATERFOWL,
resulted in the arrest of Walter Palmer
on a charge of grand larceny, and dis
closed bold daylight theft of the load
of grain. Palmer was bound over for
trial under $500 bonds. Evidence intro
duced by the state showed that Palmer
drove up to the elevator and opened a
chute and filled his wagon box. He
drove off before the employees of the
elevator returned from dinner. A
trail of scattered oats led the police to
the deserted wagon on which was the
coat connecting Palmer with the crime.

Col. Hawkins

Col. Hawkins was removed to the
hospital at Webster Saturday morning,
his condition having become quite
serious during the last few weeks.
Col. Hawkins arrived in town six
months ago. He came here and gave
several lectures under the auspices of
the w. c. t. U. His lectures consist
ed principally of personal reminiscent
ces of Grant and Lincoln, also personal
anecdotes of the Civil War, during
which he fought with great valor,
according to his own account.
Col. Hawkins put up at the Waldorf
hotel, and had not been there long
before it was discovered that he was
absolutely destitute.
Mr.. Dinneen performed the office of
the Good Samaritan for six months,
showing the Col. every attention that
kindness could suggest until his con-
dition became so bad that he had to be
removed to the hospital.
Col. Hawkins will be remembered by
the travelling public as a venerable
gentleman who sat in the Waldorf
hotel, recounting deeds of daring on
many bloody field, Of which he him
self occupied the foreground
He told also of having large gold
mining interests in the west.

old gentleman because no record of his
name or deeds can be found on the

This is an open question that will
have to ce settled by the courts.
The election Tuesday was an excit-
ing one and much interest was exhib-
tied. Both sides were confident and
captains and lieutenants were lining up
their followers for the fray. The
principal issue was license. The
counting of the ballots resulted as fol-
lows: Straight wet 90; straight dry SO;
doubtful IA, of which 6 seemed to
favor the wet and 8 the dry; blanks 2.
The inference drawn by the citizea3
who crowded the polling place was
that the town had gone dry. This idea
seemed to be shared by vets and drys
alike and there are many who hold to
the opinion that the village board had
themselves given this impression. The
reason for this opinion was that
the law requires the license vote to
have mojority of all cast, including
mismarked ballots and blanks. This
the vets did not have, as there were
1876 ballots cast-necessary for choice
98-and the vets had but SO, and so
lacked two votes of having enough to
carry the day.
Believing that the victory was
theirs the drys yelled, danced, rang
the church and school bells and made
noise generally. Then there seemed to
come reaction. The board adjourned
for supper and came together again in
the office of one of their number,
where they decided by vote of two to
to one that there l02 wet votes, 81
dry and 2 blank
The drys have determined to con-
test this decision, and representatives
of the temperance people went to
Webster Wednesday to place the mat
ter before the proper legal authorities.

Farming on Large Scale

A farmer near Aberdeen has solved
the problem of how to get his grain in
quick. He has farm of 480 acres
under cultivation. He has a 80 horse
power engine to which he attaches ten
plows and behind them he has a 12-foot
drill. That is followed by drag and
behind that is a roller, or "clod
buster" By means of this novel
arrangement he goes across the field

minutes and plants thirty-nine acres a
day. No doubt that farmer will make
it pay. He not only works with his
hands but his brain must also be
