Origin of the Pinata.

The pinata is known to only one 9TH
er country besides Mexico and the re-
publics of Latin America. On the south
ern coast of Ireland, the pinata has
formed a prominent part in the Christ
mas festivities for many generations.
1t is unquestionable that the pinata is
of Spanish origin, and it seems that
this section of the Irish coast IS the
only place where the custom has taken
root outside of Spanish countries. To
account for this, it is claimed that at
the time of the wreck of the Spanish
armada many of the Spanish sailors
made no attempt to return to their ma

In the course of time they married

R!CH ON FAT FEES
MANY LAWYERS FIND INDIAN
CLAIM BUSINESS VERY
LUCRATIVE.
CLUB PUT ON BIG TRAFFIC
Nails Of Congress in Past Six Years
Have Been Crowded With Ex-sen-
ators Who Have Become Wealthy
on Poor 10.


Washington.-That congress a de-
oided to put a check on the activities
OF a group Of former senators and rep
fesentatives in Washington who have
krown rich on fat fees received In pay
Ment for the prosecution Of Indian
Saims is Indicated in legislation pass
ed at the recent session. Laws were
placed on the statute books that pave
the way for enactments that will even
Nually place a limitation upon the
amounts paid for legal services per-
formed in behalf Of the Indians.
For the past six years the halls OF
oongress have been crowded each ses-
sion with a half dozen Or SO ~ex-senators
who have grown wealthy in the prac-
lice OF pushing Indian claims through
the house and the senate Most OF
these men were dead broke when
they retired to private life. They are
now numbered among Washington's
%fhuent citizenship.
The Indian bill which became a law
on March 4 contains a number OF pro-
visions designed to break up the trade
in Indian claims. Checks are put on
the expenditure of Indian moneys, and
the white light Of publicity will be
thrown in the future upon transactions
which in the past were put through
behind closed doors.

Condition of Banks

Pierre-While the state and nation
al banks doing business in South
Dakota show combined individual
deposits of $74,750,547, at the call
of condition Of such banks on Jan
7, this is a reduction of practically
Sc, 900, 900 from the showing made by
the banks at the time Of the Novem-
Der call. Most of this comes out OF
the deposits subject to check, the fall
ing off in thai account in the state
banks being more than four million
dollars, and nearly two million in the
ational banks. While the checking
deposits show a falling off, h de-
posts on time certificates, and the
savings deposits in both state and
national banks show a slight gain,
which indicates a growing 1ncllna-
ton on the part of the people to get
their spare cash into interest bearing
deposits, even though the average on
such deposits only runs from 4 to 8
per cent. "a

BALLENGER RESIGNS
PRESENTS RESIGNATION AND
TAFT APPOINTS w. l.. FISHER.
Retiring Official Bases His Request
Entirely Upon His Health and
Receives Warm Praise
From President.

Washington.-Richard A. Ballingel's
resignation as secretary of the In
terror was accepted by President
Taft and Walter L. Fisher Of Chicago
was Tuesday appointed as his sue
cessor.
Mr.. Ballinger rendered his resigna-
ton in a letter on January 10, being
on the condition of his health. The
president replied at once, expressing
his confidence in Secretary Ballinger,
his reluctance to accept his res1gna-
ton, and requested the secretary to
remain in office until the close of the
session of congress. Immediately on
the adjournment Of congress Secre-
tary Ballinger renewed his request.
Tuesday President Taft, in a letter,
formally accepted the resignation and
Mr.. Fisher was appointed as his sue
cessor, his commission being signed
Immediately by the president. Mr..
Fisher will take Office Immediately.
Il have had the fullest opportuni-
IT," the president say in his letter
accepting the resignation, ito know
you, to know your standards of serv-
ice to the government and the public,
to know your motives, to know how
you have administered your Office and
to know the motives of those who
have assailed YOU"
And in the conclusion of his letter
the president declares that ever
fiber of my nature rebels against such
hypocrisy (referring to the attacks
on B~allinger's ~character) 'and nerves
me to fight such a combination an
such methods to the bitter end lest
success in this instance may form a
demoralizing precedent. But person
al consideration for o andl yours
makes me feel hat 1 have MO right
to ask for a further sacrifice"
The president goes on to declare II
evident hat he has been himself the
ultimate object Of the attack, and says
that to insist on Mr.. B~allinger's re
naming in office with the prospects
Of further efforts against you, Is
selfishly to impose Oh O more of g
burden than I ought to impose"

WANT PURE FOOD
COMMISSIONER COOK is AT eh
INFRACTORS OF PURE
FOOD LAWS
SEVERAL ARE PROSECUTED
Druggists Grocers and Butchers are
Drawn in Net of Commissioner
and Others are Booked
For Prosecution

Observation-Disclosures has just
been received at the pure food ONCE
that the following parties have been
prosecuted for violating the o ana
drug laws:
James Murphy-Harms Supply Co,
of Hitchcock, were tlned SIU'oJ
and costs for selling rotten eggs TO
a customer.
C. II. Longstaff, a druggist of HUI
ron, was fined $1,000 and costs for
selling illegal stock food.
j. J.. Mcbride, a butcher Of Vienna
has been fined $1,000 in 1ustice
court for selling a mixture OF tallo"
and lard as lard"
Hoberg and Bergg of Lake Preston
butchers were fined $1,000 n costs
for a similar offense.
H. E. Stein, a butcher of Canton
was fined $500 and costs. Same Oh
tense.
The pure food laws require that eV-
erything in the GOD line must be sold
for Just what it is. Mixtures Of talloW
and lard must be sold as such, and not
as lard. --- .-w
The butcher shops of one OF the
LARGEST cities of the state were in
spected a short time since, with the
result that every shop in the city was
found to be using a poisonous pre-
~servative in their sausage. The com
missioner will recommend that all be
prosecuted at an early date.
Commissioner Cook has announced
that his department will keep after
the butchers until every butcher shop
in the state is brought into complete
compliance with the law. Owing TO
a defect in the old law, the commits
sioner has no authority to compel
butcher shops, slaughter houses and
other places where food is SOLD TO
keep clean, but it is hoped that the
legislature now in session will remedy
this defect. A bill to that purpose
passed the senate some time since and
is now before the house. h is the
most important food bill that mas
been before the legislature this ses-
sion.

fifty years later the division OF the

that great commercial union that has

South firmly in the bonds of mutual
interest.
Three men of worldwide reputation

Water Shooting Justifiab!e

Geddes-The coroner's jury investi-
eating the shooting of Charles Water,
a wealthy Ccharles Mix county stock
man. found that he was killed by a
revolver shot, in the hands OF MIS-.
Percy Wander Horn, in defense OF
herself and children in their own
home, and hat the shooting was done
only in the last extremity of self-de-
Tense. The ranchman had been acting
strangely lately, probably worried over
financial matters, and it was the opin-
ion of the jurors that he had become
violently insane, as his actions i'm
mediately before the shooting would
seem to clearly indicate. The Water
ranch OF 1880 acres is on the Mis-
souri,, south of Platte. The widow
and three children comprise the fam
lily which has lived there for about
thirteen years, coming from Illinois.
