S. D. CAPITAL IS STIRRED {
BY CONVICTION OF HYDE

Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 25.--Charles l..
Hyde Of this city, reputed to be the
richest man in South Dakota, one Of
the original Pierre boomers, has been
sentenced in federal court to a term
of one year and three months at
Leavenworth, the temporary home Of
Morse OF New York; Phil King, the
bank wrecker of wisconsin, and other
flnanciers. The judge might have let
Hyde off with fine, but evidently
felt that fine would not be punish
ment fitting the crime Of the South
Dakota Croesus.
Mr.. Hyde was convicted in United
States court at Sioux Falls Of having
used the mails to defraud in connec-
ton with the sale OF town lots In the
boom days of this city. The fraud
charged consisted of highly exagger-
ated" descriptions in circulars and
statements of the property which
Hyde sought to sell. The judgment
was stayed on an appeal to the United
States circuit court OF appeals.
Hyde was only one of a coterie OF
land and lot boomers who operated
here soon after Pierre was made the
temporary capital. BY so-called gov
eminent maps he showed electric
carlines running adjacent to lots rep
resented as plots, which were actually
nothing but broken pasture land.
Prince of Boomers.
Pierre has had boomers and boom
ers. but no other just like Hyde. He
came early and has been on the job.
that of making money, ever since.
Other boomers became politicians, Of
ficeholders, livestock growers and pro-
fessional men. Hyde never scattered.
His particular business was TO make
a fortune and he allowed nothing TO
turn him from his purpose. The tenn
porary location of the capital at
Pierre, followed several years after
by the permanent location, gave him
a winning card. 1t is the popular i'm
preston, especially in the far east,
that capital city has a down-hiIl
pull on good fortune. Hyde made the
most Of this impression. He painted
Pierre in the most glowing terms he
could command. He saw that his
literature was placed where Il would
do the most good--for Hyde. He built
electric car lines. laid out parks and
boulevards and various public and
private enterprises-all on paper.
All the time he was plating addi-
tions to the capital city, some of them
several miles miles out. These when
he sub -divided he hold at fabulous
prices, compared with real values, to
eastern men. They had read his HIT

erature and his offerings looked good

on their investment. Business was
good and Hyde's fortune mounted up.
"Reaping the WhirIwnd."
Nothing, says The Pierre Daily
Capital, has caused the stir in this
city. barring the location of the capt.
tai, like the conviction OF MIR. Hyde.
But he is not alone responsible for
this reaping Of the whiriwind. con-
tinues the editor Of The Capital.
'This city has been cursed with un-
reasonable and needless plating of
outlying lots" he writes Thousands
of lots have been plated by persons
to boom speculation. The entire truth
has never been told, even at home
Lots from five to seven miles out, that

splendid improvement for the city.
Others as well as Hyde were respons-
ible for these top-heavy real estats
valuations"
The Capital says that Hyde's lots
which were sold TO the unsuspecting
are miles from the city's business GEN.
ter and intimAtes that permanent
prosperity on a large scale can never
come to the city until inflated valua-
lions are remedied and things brought
down TO a normal plane. II admits
that many men on the outside have
been "stung" by the Pierre real estate
man.
That Anxious Feeling.

other than Hyde, Some of them ara
desperately afraid they are In the same
boat. None, however. dealt on so
large a scae.
Mr.. Hyde's financial star has for the
present at least gone under a cloud.
A report from Sioux Fails says that I'M
view Of the findings OF the jury and
the judgment of the court several
parties are preparing to bring civil
cases against him for the recovery OF
damages. Once suit OF this nature
is started the bars will be let dowr
and It Is not telling when the end will
come.
But Pierre Is good town despite
the boomers. It has buiIded slowly
but substantially. 1t no longer be-
lieves in the methods OF the pioneer
days.

SANITARY LAWS BEING
STRICTLY ENFORCED

Hot Springs, Ark, July 28.-Hot
Springs is certainly being put into
first class sanitary condition, the
orders of Mayor Waters being obeyed
almost to the letter by the majority
of property owners. Those who have
neglected to comply with the orders
are being reminded of their careless
ness by the sanitary officers, and if
they still persist in paying no heed,
they are hauled into police court and
fined. Mayor Waters declares he is
determined that Hot Springs be made
as near like large sanitarium inso-
far as the lack of filth and dirt is
concerned as it is possible to make
1t, and to this end he has issued the
most stringent sanitary orders that
were ever promulgated here.

Work has started on the renovation
of the buildings to be occupied by
the Kress store on Central avenue,

work are in need of fifty additional
laborers to the army of workers now
employed on the building. This
building will occupy almost an entire

Hot Springs, Ark, July 28.-Ac-
cording to Secretary Wadley, of the

THE FEED TAGS ARE
BEING SENT OUT DAILY

Little Rock. Ark. July 2S.-Large
shipments of feed tags leave the Of
flee of Commissioner of Agriculture
Sloan daily now. the tags being re-
ceived in daily instalments from the
printers and turned directly into
cash. The death OF Commissioner
Fred Phillips required the cancella-
ton of the printing order for tags,
and it was several weeks before it
was known who would be the new
commissioner, so his name could be
placed upon the new order of t.ss.
This time was quite expensive, to the
state for the concerns handling reed
ordered tags as soon as the law be-
came effective AS the tags were not
received. they continued to operate
and where the state would hay got
ten considerable from renewals of
the order, it could get nothing.
No inspectors have as yet been
put into the field. and will not be
until the supply OF tags is sufficient
to supply the demand 1t is figured
that the state has lost about s25 Der
day through not having the tags
sooner, but there will hardly be any
more loss of this character. So far
about $1,000 has been taken in ON
feed tags. with orders for about $1,000
which will be filled today and to-
morrow. All the tags SO far issued
are for 100 pound sacks of feed and
represent cent and quarter each.

THE 1RAOtSMAN's
WEEKLY REVIEW
Past Week Has Been one OF General
Encouragement Throughout the
South.

Chattanooga, July 27.-The past
week has been one of general en-
enlargement throughout the South
and Southwest; rainfalls in nearly
every section have made the crop out
look more than bright in spite of
the ups and downs reflected by the
stock market there is little doubt
but that the important productions
in the South will produce more than
an average yield.
In the iron market better feeling
exists not specially due to a changed
Or changing condition, but rather to
the fact that general feeling of I'M
rest and uncertainty is giving way
to one of greater confidence. In the
record Of new industries organized
during the week ending today as re-
ported by The Tradesman, there is
every indication that there is no lack
of confidence as to the future out
look. The more important industries
in Arkansas during the
past week, as reported by The
