Aberdeen's New Depot

Aberdeen-While In Aberdeen last
week, General Manager d. l.. Bush,
of the Milwaukee railroad %announc-
ed that a new station would be
built Immediately to replace the
passenger station destroyed by fire
last fall. The new structure will occu-
py most of the space formerly taken
up by the passenger station and the
freight depot, which was burned at the
same time, and the freight depot to
be erected will be on a site one block
farther west. The grounds not occu-
pied by the new station will be park
ed. The new building is to be a credit
to the city and up to the requirements
of Aberdeen as an important station
on the Milwaukee line, and will be SO
built that additions can be built as
the growth of the city and the bust
ness of the road require them.

The Vanishing Range

Whitewood-With the passing OF
the range and the adoption Of the
herd law. many farmers who have
been deriving a part of their living
from the range cattle business, must
turn their efforts into another so-rce.
1t has long been recognized that the
herd law for the whole state was but
a question Of time, yet some OF the
old-time ranchers were loath to give
UP the range as long as the last YES
tige Of 1t survived, and clung to the
range cattle business as to other fast
vanishing customs Of the old-time
West. Now they are forced to change
and those in a position to know, de-
clare that it can but result in general
benefit to the country, for the small
farmer who works his land on the
intensive plan almost invariably gets
large profits and picks up the loose
ends.
Hot Spring-Dr. B. A. Wade. well
known in this section Of the state for
years, is dead here, aged 81. DR..
Wade who was a native OF Virginia,
came here in 1892 and for some years

New Telephone Taxation

Pierre-The telephone companies
doing business in South Dakota will
find themselves on a different tax
alton basis from this time on, I'M
der provisions of the new law fixing
the name of their assessment. Up
to the present taxes have been levied
against the telephone systems of the
state at a fiat rate equal to the aver
age assessment owe the state, and
have run from &c mills to % mills an
nually on the valuation placed upon
the companies by the state board. But
from this time on the assessments
against such property will be local and
the companies will be called upon to
pay the same taxation rate upon their
property as do other property owners
in the different taxing districts in
which they operate. That is. in a town
they will be taxed at just the same
rate as is other property in that town:
and In the country districts. whatever
property they own within a separate
taxing district will pay the same rates
as all other property in that district.

Fl. Pierre-William Heinz in the
Stanley county court here, was to-
day given a life sentence on his
plea Of guilty on the charge Of hav-
ing murdered Ralph Miles.

into court and showed no trace of ex-
element over what his fate was to
he. After the sentence was pronounce
ed he remarked that it was pretty
severe, but it might have been worse.
Heinz will be taken to the peniten-
tiary in a few days to begin his term.

William Heinz charged Ralph Miles
with causing alienation of his wife's
affections, Miles was found dead in
his homestead shanty with three bullet

MISS JEWELL RETlRES
ChIldren's Home Loses a Capable and
Devoted Worker

Sioux Falls-In a recent issue the
~DeadWood Pioneer-Times pays the
Ollowing tribute to Miss Allie jew
I'll who has done such good work
in the western portion of the state as
representative of the Children's Home
at Sioux Falls:
Though many of them are yet too
young to realize it, the homeless chill
dren of South Dakota have suffered a
distinct loss which is shared by thou
sands of the older residents in the
announcement that Miss Allie Jewell.
the western representative Of the Chill
drens' Home of Sioux Falls is about
to sever her connection with the
work.
Miss Jewell has yielded to that
national cry of back to the farm and
after twelve years Of activity in q
field that returns little remuneration
beside the satisfaction of assisting in
a great work for humanity. has decid-
ed to try the delights of ranching and
will become a homesteader near Lew
iston, Mont.
Miss Jewell first associated her
self with the work of the Childrens'
Home in 1896, when W. B. Sherrard
was the superintendent. 1t was a
work to which she was peculiarly
adapted and she soon became inter
ested in b opportunity to better the
conditions of the hundreds OF little
waits and orphans that are found in
every community. Possessed of good
judgment, a charm of personality and
a ready wit that tided her over all
emergencies, Miss jewell put her
whole heart into the work which calls
for a t~ireless energy that would soon
cool the ardor of any but an enthuiast.
1t became her duty to go where she
was called, investigate the cases re-
ported, decide upon the emergency
and then to represent the Home in any
legal actions that might be necessary
in the premises. either in taking chill
dren from unworthy parents or i'm
proper atmOspheres, or completing
their adoption into homes where the
lisp of baby lips and the clasp of a
little child's arms. brought the one
note Of harmony that was lacking in
the lives Of two people.
Twelve years ago Miss Jewell was
given charge of the western portion
of the state in this work. 1t has re-
CURED many weary miles of travel by
day and night in stuffy coaches on all
railroad lines, without the luXuries of
Pullman sleepers, hard rides into DESC
late sections of the country in all
kinds of weather. the constant care OF
children Of all conditions and moods
and not ~infrequently the personal ex-
hortation of charitably inclined citi-
zens for the maintenance of the work.
In all this time Miss Jewell has han
died to exceed one thousand children
whose lives have been made brighter
through her efforts and when on
April l she bids farewell to Super
intendent Stuckeman of the Home, it
will be with a consciousness of a work
we'll done"

THE DEAR OLD FARM
BY Legislative Enactment DISTINCTIVE
Names are Protected

Pierre-Two acts of the last legis-
lative session, if carried out in their
Intent will give more individuality to
school and farm life in this ctate,
and the probability is that when the
laws go into effect the first of July
there Will be a general movement to-
ward their observance.
one of these is senate bill 122 by
Weaver, which authorizes owners OF
ranches and farms in the state to
give them distinctive names, and have
the same registered in the office of
the clerk of courts of the county in
which the farm or ranch is located.
callty and name selected, and the
name when registered gives the one
registering an exclusive right to that
name in the county in which he lives.
While some land owners have given
names to their farms, anyone else
whose fancy might be attracted by
such name could use the same causing
confusion. but when a legal and ex-
elusive designation can be made no
doubt most of the farms OF the state
will in the course Of a year or two
have a name by which it will be gem
orally known in all thecommunity,
and be as definitely located by name
as any town or postoffice in the coun.
ty.
Another act, house bill 90, by Par
sons, allows the patrons of any school
district OF the state to select a dis
tinctive name, and register the same
with the county superintendent OF
schools of the county, in a book to
De kept for hat purpose, and when
a district SO registers a name it has
an exclusive right to the same for the
county in which it is located.
This will also give a distinctive le-
gal name to the different school dis
tricts. and most of them will be names
which will attract by their pleasing
euphony rather than the weired names
which often attach to districts, and
grow as time goes on, so strong that
1t is hard to shake them off.

Ing conditions at the time. The cut
