Indian Wage Farmers

That the Sioux Indians of South
Dakota are beginning to look out for
themselves to greater extent each
year is shown in the fact that the
Indians of the state earned as individ-
uaIs, employed outside of government
service, for the month of July $4,000.
Including those employed in the gov
eminent service their earnings were
SAC, 900. These figures do not include
the earnings of any of them as farmers
or business men in any capacity.

Cut In Two by Train

Edward King, aged %, was cut in
two Monday on tie main track of the
Omaha road in the northeastern section
of Sioux Falls. Near by was found a
four ounce bottle of chloroform part
tally filled, indicating he may have
stupifed himself with the liquid and
then laid down on the track with sui
cidal intent. Another theory is that in
dazed condition he mistook the train
for the Great Northern and attempted
to board it and return to Garreston,
where he had been employed. His
home was at Fort Worth, Texas.

Would Recall Commissioner

A petition has been filed with the
city auditor of Aberdeen, bearing the
names of 456 persons alleged to be
qualified electors of Aberdeen, praying
for the recall of E. ID. Rasmussen, fire
and police commissioner of Aberdeen.
The reasons are given as general
incompetence and unfitness for office. u"
Rasmussen was elected last spring
when the commission form of govern
ment was adopted and drew the three
year term. For some time rumors had
been in circulation that an effort would
be made to recall him, and the move
ment has finally crystalized.

The Missionary a Puzzle.

To the untutored Cinnamon the
presence of the missionary is puzzle.
They simply cannot imagine human
beings exiting themselves from their
native land for the love of men on the
other side of the globe. So they frame
sundry theories to explain the thing
to themselves. One theory is that the
missionaries are secret political agents
bent on gaining an influence over the
Chinese and then swaying them to the
advantage of their respective govern
ments. Only of late have the natives
come to realize that the strangers are
not sent by their governments, but by
religious groups According to another
theory. China is so excellent and re-
nowned that the red haired barbarians
come to live there for the mere pleas
ure Of 1t. As for their self denying
works of benevolence. these are sup
posed to be prompted by the desire to
acquire merit.-Century.

in the annual report of the inspector
were required to test the mobility of
the troops, putting them into camp for
at least four days trying out the bayo-
net and saber drills and testing the
marching capacity. The conditions
developed by these exercises show that
the field preparedness of the army was
not uniformly satisfactory. One in
spector reported that a laro majority

should be curtailed and the training
should be carried on in the field. Still

the field education to the occasional
practice marches. None of the organi-
cations was classed as proficient in
saber and bayonet drill.

instruction in marching, and a sugges-
ton is made for a heroic test in order
to learn what can be expected by hav-
ing an infantry company at war

Marching capacity varied from post

of the sore feet resulted from inn
