ITS KNAVISH PRETENSE.

The Smoot dorgan warns the legls-
lature not to pay any attention to
The Tribune in the matter of liquor
legislation, which is sorry state Of
mind for even n squealy organ to be
in. For, the legislature will ncccssa-
rily judge of anv argument or presenta
tion of facts and reason upon the mat
solutcly silly as 10 determine before
hand that anything that is said by a
gwen person or paper is necessarily
bad merely because of the source from
so far as one can Judge of the temper
of the legislature, that body would be
far more disposed to put the Smoot
paper on the black list in this respect
than The Tribune, if the legislature
were disposed to Judge by source rather
than by reason. For, the Smoot or
gan has been denounced openly in the
| most numerous branch Of the legis-
laturc by a man of its own party
faith as "rag' totally unworthy
of any consideration. and not one voice
was raised in its behalf, although the
| Legislature in both branches is almost
unanimously Republican. and that
"rag" processes TO be the Republican
organ Of the State.
That Smoot paper reiterated yester.
day morning its totally false charges
of grating By The Tribune upon the
saloons, and it makes further charges
to the same effect against the council,
especially with regard to alleged rake
offs and payment on the side for the
privilege of getting a saloon license
or violating the ordinance. 1t calls
upon the legislature to investigate its
charges in this respect, and affrms
that they are true. The Tribune. how
ever, has made specific denial in its
own behalf on all this matter, Not
one cent has ever been obtained by
The Tribune from the saloons in the
way Of graft, rake-off, or any other
form of wrongfulness. Nor do we be
lIeve that members of the council are
guilty as charged, We should be glad
indeed to have the Legislature investi
gate this whole matter confident that
all concerned would be triumphantly
cleared of the infamously false charges
made by the Smoot paper. That paper
makes these charges, not in the least
believing in them itself, but merely
in an attempt to Offset the well-knowr
graft that the Smoot organ and party
has derived from the saloons, dragging
them into politics and compelling them
to contribute by the tens of thousands
of dollars to the Federal bunch IS cam
paign funds. The first raid upon the
liquor Interests Of this State by Tho
Smoot organ resulted in "bleeding'
of the saloons TO the amount of up
wards of 100000 in the campaign OF

Sleeves.

When the sleeves are Of the peas
ant type, large folded-back cuffs are
usually employed as trimming, with
perhaps a narrow undersleeve Of some
sheer white material, net or all-over
embroidery.
This can be edged with a bit Of lace
edging or a narrow bias piping.
When the regulation sleeve, that is
cut on the lines of q coat sleeve, IL
used, the cuff is made more simple, to
conform with this style. 1t is usually
straight and untrimmed, except for a
double row of stitching.
Sleeves Of a summer gown or
blouse admit Of much trimming. Lace
insertion, embroidery, with edging IN
the cuffs, are all correct, if care is
taken to choose suitable trimming and
not too much of it is used. An over
trimmed sleeve, like an overturned
gown, is far worse than a perfectly
plain garment finished with only a
hem.

AVOID TOO MANY CLOTHES
All Right to Be Well Supplied, But a
Surplus Is Neither Economy
Nor Sense.

A woman who desires to dress well
on a small income, and 1t can be done.
must learn first Of all never to have
too many clothes on hand at once.
Let her buy the things she needs,
wear them out, and then buy others.
1t Is better to have one well-fitting,
tailor-made suit, keep it vigorously
pressed and in order, wear 1t until 1t
shows signs of wear, and then replace
1t, than it is to have several inferior
suits. AS to large stocks OF under
wear, they are only an anxiety. II
not looked after frequently they grow
yellow. Styles, too, alter frequently
in underwear as in outer garments;
also human figures alter and grow fat
sometimes, and the treasured articles
won't fit when they are brought out.
AS to shoes, 1t Is better for the feet
and better for the shoes to have sew
eral changes and wear them in rota-
ton. but If shoes are kept too long
the leather Is apt TO rot.

klIeqe Discrimination,

Deadwood.-The discrimination of
freight rates against this city is to be
taken this month at Omaha by State
Railroad Commissioner w. G. Smith Of
Sturgis, backed by the local business
mems club and merchants. One par
ticular complaint is in the matter of
fresh fruits shipped here from the
state Of Washington. A table cOm-
piled shows the discrimination, it be-
ing $14S.50 cheaper to ship a car of
fresh fruit of 10000 pounds to Kansas
City and other eastern points than it
is to ship it in here. This table also
shows that fruit can be shipped cheap
er to New York City from Washington
than to Black Hills points. Potatoes
from western Montana will be shipped
in here in large quantities next month,
and Commissioner Smith will endeav-
or to secure a lower rate for these
shipments.

Of a large part Of the Missouri slope
In the central part Of the state. The
plan comprises the use of power to be
generalized at Little Bend, in western
Sully county, through a tunnel across
the neck of that bend, the power to
be used for pumping water for irriga-
ton of most Of Sully and Hughes COun-
ties. The project is one which will re-
quire a large amount of capital, and
one Of the first steps is considered to
be an investigation Of the possibili-
ties of an engineering firm which will
give the project a standing in the
estimation Of eastern capitalists. To
this end committees were appointed
TO confer with the boards Of commits
sioners of Hughes and Sully counties
to find if they are willing to assist in
providing the means for securing such
a survey by competent engineers. This
will take several thousand dollars, but
nothing can be done in the way Of en-
enlisting capital until the project is
worked out as feasible. After that
there would remain, Of course, a large
amount of preliminary work before
anything in the way of active construc-
ton would be done.

FESTIVAL AT VIVIAN.
Gov. Vessey Made Speech to Encoun
ace Settlers Who Remain.

Nvian.-At the second annual stock
show and fall festival at Vivian Gov
ernor Wesley was the speaker Of the
first day. Owing to the fact of a gen.
tie and refreshing rain which fell near
ly all the morning, the attendance
was limited by the weather and Condi-
ton Of the roads. He congratulated
the people of Vivian in the better pros
pect for hay, potatoes and corn-fod-
der and some corn and said that in
view of the severe conditions west OF
Vivian that this part of Lyman county
nigh consider itself fairly fortunate.
He congratulated the people here upon
their spirit and pluck, saying that it
was the people who braved the severe
years east of the Missouri between
1856 and 1896 who today are receiving
good fruitage for their heroic stand in
those arduous years. Those who stay
by this country will be the winners.
The situation Is not a hard n in
South Dakota, alone, but IN many
other and adjoining states.
The governor spoke of the excellent
municipal improvements. Rapid City
is making in order to keep the home
steaders on their claims and congrat-
ulated the community at Vivian for
doing work in that direction.

of the drowning in the Missouri river
of William Kitteau, son of David Kit

rancher and farmer. The boy and a
companion rowed o boat from the
South Dakota shore to an island in
the center of the river, and upon arriv-
ing there left their boat and swan to
the Nebraska shore. After remaining
there for some time they started to
swim back to the island and had not
gone far when young Kitteau was
caught by a strong u~ndercurrent. Be-
fore assistance could be summoned
he had disappeared. An effort was
made to Gov the body as soon as
relatives and others had been sum-
moner to the scene, but at last &C.

Cattle Shipments.

Belle Fourche From present indi-
cations the total shipments of cattle
from this point this year will be larger
than in 1910, although a month ago
it was thought that this would be i'm
possible on account of the dry country
and the inability to bring the cattle
overland to railroad points. The
range is now in fairly good condition
and cattle are easily driven over it,
as the water holes are full. Over 100
carloads of cattle have been shipped
from here this week, and September
and October will see much larger ship
ments than during August. The cat
tie are all reported in good condition.

ORIGIN OF A SONG
History of "The Little Brown
Church in the Vale."
Touching Little Dirty Composed by
an Iowa Physician Fifty Years
Ago Has Since Been Sung
Around the World.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Not so very
long ago the writer attended a great
religious convention. There were
thousands of people in attendance.
There were great speeches and great
singing. The influence of this great
meeting was SO inspiring that hun
dreds of men marched the streets with
banners bearing appropriate notices.
Nearly every convention has a favor
ite song. The favorite song at this
convention was, THE Little Brown
Church in the Vale" and 1t was sung
with an enthusiasm that would make
any one want to come to the church
in the wildwood or anywhere else
where a church might be located.
The town of Bradford, Iowa. has to
do with the history Of the song. The
homes in this little village, as easter
ners would call it, are of the New Eng
land type and shelter a class of people
who stand for moral. intellectual and
religious development.
In 1859 or 1S60-or ~thereabouts-
the good people Of Bradford resolved
to build a church where they might
worship God and teach their children
the Importance Of Christian living and
Christian service. The times were
close and the people were poor; but,
being masters of circumstances and
not their abject slaves" they con
quered the hard times and their pow
erty by donations of stone, lumber,
hardware. paint. and labor. The Con-
gregational Church Building Society
came forward with a generous dona-
ton Of money. and the little brown
church was ready for dedication with
out debt.
A little to the south Of Bradford
lies the little town Of Fredericksburg.
In this little town, surrounded by one
of the most fertile farming regions in
the world, lived a physician, w. s,
Pitts. He was born in New York, re-
ceived his degree from Rush Medical

bottom and finished at the top with
a little liplike rim. After buying the
glass buy ribbon to match the deco
rations of your room just wide enough
to make a cover for the glass by sew
ing two pieces together. The
may be either the length of the tube
and put on smooth, or it may be
longer and shirred on each side. The
latter way is prettier, but 1t will catch
dust and must be frequently brushed
out.
At the bottom Of the case the rib
bon Is gathered together tightly, and
either a tassel sewed on or a bunch
of bows of baby ribbon. At the top
it is finished by hemming each piece OF
pieces together. The hem must be
wide enough to come out beyond the
i'm of the glass. A long loop Of the
baby ribbon is sewed at the top Of
each seam to hang the case up or
one piece Of ribbon may be used, an
end sewed at each side. In either
case a small bunch of bows is used as
a finish where the ribbon is sewed.
When the ribbon case is finished
slip in the tube, which should be a
close fit. If there Is nothing in the
room that seems convenient to hang
the case on it is a good plan to buy a
long brass hook at a hardware shop
and screw 1t into any appropriate
place, such as a door or window
frame. An important point to be re-
membered is always to put your hat
pins in the case when taking them out
of your hat. You will then never have
to hunt for the right pins for a certain
hat.

New Park Dedicated.

Sioux Falls.-ElabOrate dedication
exercises were held in honor of the for
nal opening to the public of Sherman
park, consisting of fifty acres of land,
covered by fine timber, and situated
along the Big Sioux river in the south
western outskirts Of the city. 1t is
one of the most delightful spots in the
state or northwest, and for a natural
park is without a peer anywhere else
in the state. The park was donated to
the city by Hon. E. A. Sherman, a
prominent pioneer citizen, who at pres
ent is a member of the state legisla-
lature from Minnehaha county. Music
for the dedication exercises ives fur
nished by a local band, of which Prof.

Early Settler Dies.

n of the earliest settlers in this por-
ton Of South Dakota, died at his home
IN Aberdeen on Sunday, aged SO
years. He vas a native of Norway, but
came to America in 1869, locating first
ct Minneapolis. In 1880, the family
came to Brown county, and Mr.. Eel
gard settled on a claim which is now
2 part of Aberdeen. Later he located
a tree claim, adjoining the city limits,
which he presented to the city two
years ago for a park, thereby giving

Only 176 Defendants.

Spearfsh.-Many of the 176 defend
ants named in the suit for his water
rights, brought by Charles Case, a
rancber living below here, in the cir
cult court at Belle Fourche, are pre-
pairing to defend the case. The suit
names all as defendants who take wat
er from the Spearfish, Belle Fourche,
Redwater, Crow and adjoining creeks
above the ranch Of the plaintiff, and
includes both the HOmestake Mining
company and the Redwater Land and
Canal company. Some Of these de-
PENDANTS allege that they have been
in undisputed possession of their water
rights for over thirty years ard be-
iieve that they cannot now he dis
turbed. According to State Engineer
Samuel II. Lea. the present suit is
brought under water commissioners,
to fix the title to all water rights foC
all time and that the state proposes
to know just who is legally entitled
to the water they are using.
