The Corn Palace.

Mitchell.-In the retirement of l.. L.
Ness as secretary of the corn palace
committee, w. A. Wheeler was select
ed to fill the position. The season OF
work on the palace building will start
shortly to cover the structure with
new designs. The corn will be IN
readiness for the work within two
or three weeks and it will give ample
time to complete the decorations be-
fore the palace opens September rs.
Most all of the attractions have been
secured, and a goodly number OF the
counties surrounding have arranged
to make an agricultural exhibit to
refu-e the statement that South DaGo-
ia has been unable to raise any crops
this season. Good appropriations have
been made by the county commission
ers to arrange for an exhibit at the
palace and at the state fair, and east
ern visitors will be shown that good
products have been raised despite the
statement that the country was too
dry this season.

relieved Of the burden

CLASH OVER ALASKA
TWO WickERSHAMS APPEAR BE.
FORE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Alaskan DELEGATE Renews His AIlega-

Shielded Criminals.

Washington. - Attorney General
Wickersham and Alaskan Delegate
Wickersham faced each other before
the house committee on judiciary
which is making an investigation into
government affairs in the northWes
and charges of graft" and bribery
were banded with much freedom by
the delegate during the hearing.
The question of the insuficiency Of
what the delegate declared was proof
that the attorney general purpose
ly shielded and defended Alaska syn
dictate criminals against punishment"
arose.
Representative Sterling suggested
that Delegate Understands charges
indicated only failure of the depart
ment Of justice to prosecute.
"Oh. he has gone way beyond that

graft"
"He wouldn't pay Love 500 a month
out of what he received for the board
Of prisoners" the delegate ex-
planned.
Delegate Wickersham. a Repub-
lican. reviewed his attempts to have
the department of justice move against
D. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate
and J. H. Bullock of the John j.
Sesnor company for alleged conspir-
acy on government coal contracts,
whereby he alleges the government
lost $50, 900.
The delegate charged that federal
officials in Alaska had been bribed.
Representative Rowland of Ohio de-

Ferry Steamer Capsizes In st. Law.

Massena. N. Y.-Seven persons were

a shoal eight miles below this city,
capsized and hurled its rs passengers
into the river.
Four bodies we're recovered.
The Sirius left here for Cornwall on
the Canadian side, with rs persons
bound for a days outing there. Most
of those aboard were residents of Og-

crash came. The deck was swept bare

a Accountant.

Pierre.-Attorney General Johnson
has been called upon to interpret an
other of the laws of the last session
which attempts to provide for the ex-
penses of conducting the affairs OF the
state executive accountant. The law
itself provides an annual appropriation
of $1,000 out of which the accountant
is to receive a salary Of $1,S00, the
rest for expenses. 1t further provides
that the accountant may employ assist
ants to go into the affairs Of the differ
ent counties, on request of the county
commissioners of such counties, and
such assistant shall receive Sc per day
for such service.
This amount is to be paid into the
state treasury by such county, and
while it was the undoubted intent of
the legislative members that such sum
paid in should be for the payment OF
the assistants for their services to the
counties, the law does not appropriate
the money so paid for that purpose,
and it is held that the four thousand
dollars is all which is available. The
query comes up on the matter of pay
ing an assistant for services rendered
in Trip county to straighten out their
affairs following the fire of last win
ter which destroyed all their records.
1t is suggested in the opinion that the
governor may declare an emergency
in such East and authorize a deficiency
under existing laws.
