Interesting Features

There are number of interesting
features in connection with the rain
fall of this season as compared with
other years. The failure Of the river
to rise is one evidence OF the ability
of the soil to care for all of the rain
that has fallen. Another reason for
this failure Of the river to rise is
found in the fact that the rains have
been quite generally distributed.
The lowest pressure of the year oc-
CURED yesterday morning at 1870
o'clock when the instruments recorded
1885, the last prior to this time this
season being 2S5. This exceedingly
low pressure was responsible for the
storm. Since 1.30 it has been gradually
rising.

IS ACCUSED OF
BRUTAL MURDER

Aberdeen, s. d., May 12.-willis
Whitworth, a mulatto from Charles
Mix county, is on trial i'm federal court
for the alleged murder OF James
Felicia, half breed Indian living on
the Yankton reservation.
The crime is said to have taken
place at the Greenwood agency on
Sept. 4. 1910. According to the testi-
mony of Peter Felicia, a brother OF
the dead man, Whitworth had lived
on the reservation for a number OF
years. and had been living with i
sister of Felicia, although not married
to tile woman. On the night Of the
killing Whitworth was at the Felicia
home and all were on good terms until
a quarrel between Peter Felicia and
Whitworth over some grass Whit
worth Is alleged to have cut on land
belonging to Peter Felicia, and for
which he had not paid. Felicia said
they fought and Whitworlth hit him
over the head with a chair, rendering
him unconscious. When he recovered
his senses, Whitworth was gone. He
went outside the house and discovered
the body of his brother James fear
fully beaten UP, lying outside the door.
The Whitworth trial Is the last jury
trial Of the session. the other Jurors
having been dismissed,
Joseph STAINS Of Wakpala, who
owned to having introduced LIQUOR on
the Cheyenne River reservation. was
found guilty and sentenced to two
years tn the federal penitenHiary at
Fort LeavenWorth. The jury in the
case of Chase Red Horse. an Indian
accused of introducing liquor on the
reservation. failed to agree and was
discharged.

ratified, and therefor the wage earn
ers would be able TO live cheaper than
they do now. This is not likely to be
| the case. There Is nothing in the
agreement that would justify such
conclusion. 1t would not materially
reduce the price of our and meat, and
there is no reason why under such
condition of things, the price Of those
staple articles should be reduced. The
| price OF those articles of food are regu-
lated by other conditions.
When hides were put on the free
list in the Payne Aldrich bill, Ii was
generally supposed that would make
shoe leather cheaper and thereby re@
duce the price of shoes, but immediately
the price of hides went up to a point
higher than they had been at any time
before. since the civil war, and the
price of shoes was not reduced a
particle. The reason OF that was, be-
cause the great meat packers of the
country who control the price OF meat,
and who handle the great bulk Of the
hides put their hides in cold storage,
and in effect, said to the leather mar
kets of the world you will have to
pay us the price we see fit to put upon
Burke Dealt Blow.
But why all this ado about Canadian
reciprocity, when the governor of our
own state, SO far forgot, or disregard
ed the leading industry OF this state
as to veto the bill that was intended
to provide the means of instructing our
farmers In the best methods OF farm
ing, giving instruction to farmers
through farmers Institutes, who never
had an opportunity of getting such in
struction I'm amy other way. Tt is true
the situation In the state can be saved
by the generous contributions of our
citizens for the support Of the farm
ers institutes, but the unfriendly
spirit Of the veto remains.
1t is stranger than fiction, that our
agricultural interest which needs much
announcement, should become the VIC.
time Of so much disbursement from
both state and national adminsstra-
tions.
Our agricultural colleges have de-
veloped the fact that agriculture is,
and can be dignified as a science. as
much as any other line OF business,
and as such, liz entitled TO the atten-
ton of as good business talent as the
country affords
Furthermore, we should remember
that the original source Of all wealth
is in the soil, If that wealth producing
power should stop, our factories and
mercantile houses would be compelled
TO close, our railroads would become
imperative, transportation would
cease, all lines OF business would ba

effect Of our short crop last year. The
Importance Of agriculture cannot be
over estimated. For this reason the
best development OF that great basic
industry ought to receive every pos
sible announcement and the best pos
sible protection that the state and ma
tional governments can give IL

TAFT AND BURKE HIT FARMERS
HARD BLOW BELOW THE BEL

To The Forum: 1t seems strange
that just at the time when extraordi-
nary efforts are being made, in nearly
all the states In the union, to arouse
greater interest in agricultural pur-
suits, by houting the glories of the
farm and the independence of farm
life, and raising the cry back to the
farm" our national administration
should deal such a stunning blow to
the agricultural interests Of this coun-
try as is contained i'm the proposed
agreement with Canada.
In his recent New York speech
President Taft is reported to have said
that reciprocity with Canada must
come now or never" But it is not
apparent that reciprocity with Canada
is necessity on the part of the peo-
pie OF the United States, especially,
such reciprocal relations as are con-
tanned in the pact no wunder consid-

l am p protectionist, always have
been, but the time has, come when spe-
cial attention should be given to the
more general development Of our agri-
cultural interests. During recent years,
our mercantile and manufacturing in
terests have grown so rapidly and be-
come so prosperous, that they have at
tracted to those lines of business so
many young men from the rural dis
tricts, that many portions Of the coun-
try that were once well populated and
prosperous farming communities, have
become depopulated and almost barren
wastes. This is notably the case in
some of our eastern state, and unless
our western farms are made more at
tractive and more profitable, they will
soon begin to suffer the fate Of farms
in the east. 1t does not seem to me
that the way to revive an active in
terest in American agriculture. is to
open the door OF free trade to the
agricultural products grown upon the
cheap lands OF Canada and food our
home markets with those products in
competition with our farm products
without any compensating benefits to
our farmers therefor. Such condition
will have tendency to discourage
