LEAVE OF ABSENCE GRANTED.
Relief for s. d. Claimants From Now
Until April Is, 1912.

The following telegram was received
from Congressman Eben w. Martin,
Friday, by the register and receiver of
the Rapid City land office: "Warren
bill excusing settlers from their claims
until April Is, 1911, passed the house
today and will become law in q few
days" This will be good news to
many of the new claimants In this Sec
tion of South Dakota, who are in dis.
tress because of the drought this par
ticular year, but who have faith In the
country and do not care to give up
their lands, and yet are Obliged to seek
employment away from their claims
for the present in order to live until
time for planting another crop shall
roll around. A reference to the Warren
bill above mentioned shows that the
bill does not provide that the time
granted for relief from the land shall
be deducted from the full time of resi-.
dence required by law, but that such
time shall necessarily have to be made
up by the claimant upon his return to
the land following his absence. e.-Rapid

A GOOD
WOMAN GONE.
Mrs. E. r. Juckett Summoned
By Death Monday.
FUNERAL WBD'SDAY
Ill Only Short Time Leaves
Husband AMI Five Children
to Morn Her Loss.

M6me H. dRssett was born in North
deld, Vermont, April 4th, 1866, was
educated in the Mortified high school
and the Randolph Normal school at
Randolph, Vermont. She began her
life as teacher at fourteen years of
age and at seventeen began teaching
the Grammar Grade of the Mortified
schools where she taught for eight
years and was very successful in her
chosen work.
She was married to Elmer r Juckett
in September, 1891 and came immedi-
ately to Buffalo Gap, where she resided
for three years, coming from there to
Hot Springs where she spent the re-
mainder of her life.
Mrs. Juckett was i'll scarcely week,
her death resulting from a serious in
testinsl disorder. DR.. Hargens, assisted
by an eminent Omaha specialist. at
tended her and all that medical skill
could do was done but in vain and
death relieved her suffering, Monday,
August 14th.
Mrs. Juckett was a member of ST.
Luke's Episcopal church and an active
worker in it and in the Guild, where
she was tireless in her efforts to pro.
mote all its departments. She was
much interested in the Public Library
and when it looked for time as though
it might be abandoned, she worked un-
tiringly until it reached its present
prosperous condition She was also
one of the promoters Of the Civic
League, q valued member of the
travellers Club until ill health forced
her to become less active, when she was
made an honorary member. There was
40 case OF sickness or distress of which
she knew that did not at once receive
her assistance, sympathy or consolation.
She seemed always to consider the
comfort Of others and never spared
herself when her help was needed. She
was woman Of large, charitable and
loving nature to whom an unkind word
or act was like blow. She lived for
others.
Mrs. Juokett is survived by her hus.
band and five children, three boys and
two girls, also by her mother, four
sisters and two brothers who live in the
east. Her loss will be keenly felt not
only by those but by the entire com.
munity.
The floral offerings spoke of the love
OF many friends, the casket was buried
in flowers and the church handsomely
decorated, all tribute to that strong,
beautiful character of her whom we
mourn.
Funeral services were conducted at
the Episcopal church, Wednesday
afternoon by Rev. d'Argent and the
body laid to rest in the Evergreen
cemetery.

SO. DAK0TA
NOT ALL BAD
A Fair Yield of Small Grain
and Good Corn Crops.
REPORTS ARE FALSE
The Mitchell Commercial Club
Adopts Strong Resolutions
Condemnins Reports.

For some weeks reports have been
circulating in the east, in which the
entire state Of South Dakota has been
pictured as barren waste, with ab.
solutely no crop whatever and they
have worked great harm to the state.
No one denies that the crop in some
sections of the state are poor, but con.
ditions are not anywhere near as bad
az they are reported, especially in the
eastern half. The Commercial Club Of
Mitchell adopted the following strong
resolutions, which we reprint, as it
truthfully represents the situation:
"Wherers, numerous reports have
been published in papers outside Of
South Dakota in which It has been re-.
presented that this state is in serious
condition on account of drought, and
Whereas, practically all the reports
of disasterous drouth have come from
the northwest part of South Dakota, q
section that heretofore has been de-
voted largely to the range cattle In.
dustry and has produced q neelible
share of the crops in South Dakota,
and
"Whereas, these reports from this
limited section have done great injury.
to the remainder of the state, where
practically all the crops are produced
by allowing the impression to be made
that that all of South Dakota was in q
similar condition, and
"Whereas. 1t should be evident from
the fact that the Mitchell people are
this year, as in other years. supporting
the Mitchell corn palace to the extent
OF the cash expenditure Of from $4,000
to $4,000, that conditions In all parts
of the territory that contribute to the
support of the corn palace cannot be
as represented in these gloomy re-
ports from South Dakota.
Therefore. Be 1t Resolved, That the
papers published outside of South Da.
kota and circulating in South Dakota,
and therefore presumably, interested
in protecting the state from these
slsnderous stories, be earnestly re.
quested to correct such misinformstion
as mere matter Of justice to the
state Of South Dakota and to the Mitch
ell corn palace and the South Dakota
state fair, both Of which will this year
demonstrate the commercial vitality
Of South Dakota.

BIRD MEN AT The STATE FAIR.
Cartiss Flyers Will Soar Every Day Dur.
ing Week..Aeroplane vs. Automobile

Curtiss Flyers Will Soar Every Day Dur.
ing Week-.Aeroplane VI. Automobile.
The greatest aviation meet in the
west will be featured at the coming
South Dakota State Fair. The Curtiss
myers have been secured at great price.
and will soar high above the grounds
every day during the fair. The manage.
ment fs making great effort to secure
the famous Lincoln Beechy, whose re-.
cent flight over Niagara Falls was the
sensation of the year. Beeohy is one of
the most daring birdmen In the world.
He dies over mountains and anywhere.
high In the air, beyond the sight of
man.
The Curtiss people have inspected
the grounds and estimate that nothing
should hinder them from making
record breaking flights-and this they
are planning to do. For real daring
and Sensational interest, nothing can
compete with this feature.
Nothing is too good or too expensive
for South Dakota, and the very fact
that this feature will be presented at
our fair, places the South Dakota fair
among the few great expositions at the
top OF the list. The great reputation
OF the Curtiss flyers limits their opera.
ttons to the greatest fairs only.
On Monday, the first day Of the fair
there will be an exciting race between
the aeroplane and an automobile. No
one can afford to miss this contest
between land and air locomotion. The
educational value of this aviation meet
can not be overestimated, and not to
see 1t is to sustain Q tremendous loss.
