Highlanders Move Ahead of

Teams Into Third Place.

Chicago. May 3.
THERE was a general shifting OF
positions In the American League
race yesterday. The Athletics are
now In second place. with the High
landers holding dow third. while the
White Sox are fourth on tho list and
the Red Sox have dropped into the lead
OF the second division. The victories OF
the Hfltops and the Athletics moved
these two teams ahead OF the Boston
and chicago teams. but the race Is .
very even one still for all the honors
outside Of the frst place. which the
Tigers are still holding down with q
good margin to spare.
The worlds champions are crawling
up toward tho top fast the past few
days. and there has been a decided
slump in the playing OF the Tigers. SO
that the distance between nrst and sec.
ond places 10 considerably smaller than
II was when the Eastern teams started
the present invasion OF the West. No

Mack, the leader Of the champions. has

one for over a week. This Is tho nrst

Wants a State Farm

In the southern part of Fall River
county there are 64,212 acres OF state
endowed land. This section comprises
approximately three townships and Is
all located south of the Cheyenne river
At present there is moth g on the
land and it is bringing the state no
revenue other than the nominal rental
secured through letting it out for graz
ing purposes. The soil is fertile, but
is of peculiar composition and n or
der to get the best results ag-icultu--
ally from il. special study is required.
Representative Bentley has a reso-
luton in the house calling for the
construction of a state exTe"iment
farm in this region. II is ~contended
that such a station would not only
help the settlers throughout the south
ern part of the county and al that
vicinity. but would add TO the de
mand for the state land for aTri-
cultural purposes and thus increase
the rentals. Those fayoring the po O.
ject point out that these added rental
would moe than pay Tor the man
nance of the institution, and would
gradually make Ile farm pay for
itself. The plan would be to have the
institution under the care of the board
Of regents as are other farms vi a

SHE COST A THRONE
Countess 0stheim, Who Caused
Disinheritance of a Prince.
TOOK the Prize in a Beauty Show
and Then Was Dramatically Mar
rsd Is Practically All That
10 Known About Her.

London.-It may be, and prudent
persons declare il is, reprehensible for
a man to a aside social considera-
tons and family obligations for the
sake Of a woman, but the world has a
weakness for that kind of unwisdom.
II does not happen SO Often, either,
that the spectacle becomes tiresome.
So Count Ostheim, who is related to
most of the European royalties and
whose wife is now visiting this coun
Try, will not come in for so much
criticism as his somewhat varied Ca
reer might justify.
Count Ostheim, before his family
disowned him, was heir apparent to
the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar.
The romance of the disinherited
prince has been briefly told from time
10 time in the news items, that gave
the barest outlines OF a remarkable
story. Il centers around a lovely wom-
an. late of the London Merry Widow"
company. When it is added that she
is an Italian, OF that perfect type OF
beauty which Cavalier embodies,
there is perhaps a slight explanation
of her amazing career.
Countess Ostheim, or Princess Her
mann of Saxe-Weimar, called herself
Wanda Lottero on the stage. Maybe
il was really her name, and very like
ly ii was not. She is a bright and
entertaining talker. so it is said, but
on one subject she is dumb. and that
is her origin. She is the daughter
OF a washerwoman, of a janitor, of a
ship merchant, of a Russian duke, of
a king-anything you like to say
about her birth will find a certain
amount of credence somewhere.
All that is really known about her
is that she took a prize in a beauty
contest in Milan as the loveliest WON
man in Italy, and that she has had a
vast amount Of admiration from dis.
tinguished persons. eliminating in her
romantic marriage. She was given d
part in Edwardes' production of the
Merry Widow In London. She act.
ed very well and she looked very
lovely. And the result vas her mar
rage TO a young son of royalty and
his prompt election from the circle
of his family.
Turning TO the hero. Prince Her
mann, the facts are easier to get. He
was born in 1886. His years have

Pierre-The state pardon BOARD.
consisting of the chief justice OF
the supreme court, the atooIneS
general and the secretary OF sta1e'
have under Amusement an application
for pardon, made in behalf OIL joseph
P. Coleman. The application is acco.-
panied by a petition, among the sig-
natures upon which are those OF tne
Ave brothers and sisters of Mr.. Cole
man. Coleman is now In tue pen-tn
tiary at Sioux Falls serving a hie
sentence.
The application for this pardon
brings TO mind one OF the reSolllhs
murders of nearly a decade ago. Joe
Coleman at the time was a citlZen VI
Melette. His brother, VINO carried :
heavy life insurance, had a amen
some mile from the town. On the
day of the crime Joe" had gone to
visit his brother. No others were
present and the first known OF the al
fair was when the man who is serv-
ing sentence, called upon another
ranChman and notified him that ne hau
accidentally shot his brother.
Coleman placed the body or Ms
brother in a buggy, drove to Meiettee
and was making arrangements to sh ?
the body to Wisconsin when he was
arrested. He was tried for murder In
Faulkton in Judge Gafy's court an
convicted.
