ATLANTA.-There has been more
political fuss stirred up over a few
appointments of oil and fertilizer in
spectors by Commissioner Of Agri-
culture ]. J. Conner than has hap
penen since the days Of certain
commissioner of whom it was once
said that if all the men hs had prou-
ised Jobs were to hold a convention
there would not be hall in the
state big enough to hold them
Although Mr.. Conner owes his APP
pointment to Governor Brown a de-
cided GOODNESS has sprung up between
the two, and Mr.. Conner does not
drop in the executive Office to pass
the time as was formerly his Gus
tom. 1t is said that neither Governor
Brown nor Governor-elect Slaton APP
prove the long-term appointments al
ready made by the ad interim com
missioner and which Mr.. Ault, au-
thor of the agriculture bill, says Vlo-
late the spirit of the law.
Neither Mr.. Brown nor Mr.. Slaton
were consulted about oil and fer
tilizer inspectors. Instead the COM
missioner took counsel of-well, in
any event, there were on the list
men who were strongly antagonistic
to Governor Brown and who opposed
him vigorously in the last Brown
Smith campaign.
When Mr.. Hudson resigned there
were several candidates for the office,
and not desiring to favor any one OF
them over the other Governor Brown
stated he would appoint Mr.. Hud-
sons successor only on the condition
that he would not be candidate in
the primary. Mr.. Conner finally ac-
cepted this condition and took the
office.
About six weeks before the primary
Mr.. Conner developed a strong de-
sire to get into the race, but could
not do so under his pledge to Gov
ernor Brown. 1t is known that the
governor was approached tentatively
by friends of Mr.. Conner and an ex-
preston sought from him on the sub
iect. Governor Brown made it plain
that he would not stand for Com
missioner Corners entering the race,
so he had to keep out Of it.
Commissioner Conner did not like
this much, and according to gossip

CONNER STIRS UP A POLITICAL STORM
Agricultural Commissioner Dsgruntled Toward Man Who
Gave Him Position Wanted to Run Again

around the capital this has had much
to do with the commissioners failure
to consult the governor in the mat
ter of appointments of oil and fertil-
izer inspectors. 1t is known that
Commissioner Conner has not for
weeks made his former customary
visits to the office of the governor.
Just what Mr.. Corners political
game is his friends are unable to
understand. He seems to have fallen
out of line with some of his strong
est political allies He has put two
of the six long term fertilizer inspec-
tors in the Seventh congressional dis
tdict, in which he lives, and has
placed only one of them at an i'm
portant fertilizer center-Savannah
The Savannah fertilizer inspector is
the only one of the six named in the
southern part of the state, where the
great bulk of the fertilizers are used.
Considerable criticism has come par
ticularly from the middle southern
and southwestern sections of the
state.
If Commissioner Conner is laying
political plans for the future some
of his best friends think he is going
about it in the wrong way; if he is
trying to get even with some of those
who prevented things going just as
he wanted them they say he may do
it or he may not.
Chairman E. S. Ault of the legis
lative committee which investigated
the department and recommended
new laws governing these appoint
ments, declares what Commissioner
Conner has done has violated the
spirit of the new law, but so far the
commissioner has made no reply. He
is proceeding in his own way to
make the appointments of whoever
he chooses,

SNAKE HATCHERY THAT PAID.
A Case Where Even st. Patrick
Would Be Nonplussed.

There is nothing like working

than to a case just come to light at
Tarrytown, n. Y.
To rid his extensive estate at PO-
cantico Hills of snakes, which infest-
ed it's wilder parts when he bought
it, John D. Rockefeller offered labor
ers on the place a bounty of rs cents
for every dead snake brought in.
A number of reptiles presented
for redemption became so large re-
Gently that detectives were called on
to investigate the cause of the snake
nuisance, with the result that evil
dence developed of the existence of a
perniciously prolific snake hatchery
on or near the premises. The snake
bounty was Immediately abolished.

Iniuuities of the Payne-Aldrich Act
Strikingly Told in Figures. Cause
Workers to Think.
Concrete examples of how a protec-
tive tariff operates are causing the

lot Of thinking nowadays. He is be-
ginning to understand whether it is not
about time to call a halt on the Re
publican practice Of taxing the coat off
his back and threatening him with the
loss of his shirt and his socks if he
does not submit.
All through the present tariff law,
passed by a Republican congress and
Endorsed by Republican president as
THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER
PASSED, are to be found discrimina
tons, the higher duty on the cheaper
article, the lower duty on the dearer

Claim No, 1 Sold.

Sioux Falls.-Mrs. Mary Kendall,
who drew No. 1 in the government
land lottery which disposed Of about
1000, 900 acres of land in Mellette
county, thus giving her the right to
make the first selection of a farm In
the opened tract, has decided not to
perfect title to the farm of 100 acres
which she selected after a careful in
spection of the opened lands. Accord
ingly she has sold a REIMBURSEMENT to
the farm to J. G. Renwich, late Of Har-
risonville, Md. What Mrs. Kendall
received therefor has not been made
public, hut 1t has been estimated that
her good fortune in drawing No. 1 was
worth SO, 900 to her. Her husband is
a cripple, and WITH the money re-
ceived for the REIMBURSEMENT 1t is
probable that herself and husband 10Y
will purchase a home of their own at
their old home in Rapid City and live
in comfort in the future.

BANISHING THE YELLOW SKIN
Many Harmless Bleaches May Be
Recommended TO Produce h
Perfect Complexion.

Very yellow necks and faces can be
whitened only by the use of a decid-
ed bleach that will gradually fun
away the old skin and just as grad
ually disclose a fresh, new, white one.
Such preparations cannot be made
very well at home. 1t is a dangerous
procedure when attempted by expe-
rienced hands, and is best done by a
professional. The frequent applica-
tions Of lemon juice at night after a
bath in bran-water will do wonders
with moderately yellow skins.
Sometimes poor soap causes the
hands to be red. 1t really seems as II
the hands tire of one kind of soap,
and rebel against its use. Immedi-
ately after bathing the hands spread
thickly with cosmetic jelly or lotion.
When retiring for the night, after
using the lotion. sprinkle thickly with
talcum. Don't wear tight collars or
tight corsets-they will always make
the hands red, and the tight collars
will almost ruin the skin of the neck.
When bathing use only tepid water,
never hot nor cold. which Invariably
stimulates the blood vessels.

Estate Turns Out Well.

was found and it was thought that the
estate was worthless. Now it devel-
ops that he was suspicious Of banks
and had hid his wealth in a tin box
on the outskirts of Goldfield. This
box contains 10 shares of Homestake
stock which is now worth $50 per
share and which he purchased years
ago at $40 per share, and many divi-
dends checks which he never cashed.
A friend in Goldfeld is said to know
the location of this box and he is now
being sought to o it and have
the estate distributed to the benef-
Charles here.

NEWSPAPER MAN IN LUCK.
Receives Gift Of Valuable Homestead
and Horse and BUGGY.

Chamberlain.-To be presented with
a valuable homestead and have a
horse thrown in for good measure was
the coed fortune of ]. NJ. Miller, a
newspaper man Of Trip county,
whose home is in Colome. The gift
consisted in part of a REIMBURSEMENT
to the homestead, which is situated
only three miles from Colome, togeth-
er with a small house standing upon
it, and a driving horse and buggy that
had belonged to the former owner
of the homestead. The homestead was
originally taken on a squatter fling
by an individual named w. s. Wat
wood, who left the country. Daniel
Donahoe then filed a contest on the
land and secured a preferential right
to make homestead entry. Just a few
days before the time would have
elapsed in which he could tender his
entry he sold to a theatrical man, who
believed he would try his hand at the
homestead game. The theatrical man,
in company with his wife, spent a few
months on the homestead, finally GO
ing east to resume work on the road.
The actor concluded he had had
enough of homesteading, so the other
day he wrote a letter to Miller, en-
closing a REIMBURSEMENT to the 100
acre farm and a bill of sale for the re-
mainder of his property. Miller val
ues the gift at not less than $4,000,
and will at once go ahead and perform
the necessary things to secure a gov
eminent title to the land.

BRAsslERE is A BLESSING
Keeps the Figure Looking Trim Above
the Waist, a Highly Desirable
Effect.

One doesn't have to be uncomfort-
able In these enlightened days of the
b~rassieres which support the bust,
keeps the figure looking trim above
the belt, while below that may be
worn hip restrainers, meaning stays,
which have only a few flexible whale
bones which you'll scarcely know are
present. II you don't care to buy
r~eady-made a brassiere that Is all lace
insertion and satin ribbons, you may
make one for yourself by using as a
pattern the upper half of a tight-fit-'
ting underwaist or corset cover, the
oid-fashioned garment which Is the
ugliest thing imaginable, but which
still Is lurking In the wardrobe OF
nearly every middle-aged woman.
Make the brassiere of fine lawn,
French dimity or batiste, fasten 1t
over the shoulders with bands of hand
embroidered lingerie material and,
edge it all round with lace, but don't
run ribbons through beading because
that sort of ~frivolity has gone out OF
date and whatever happens, you don't
want to be behind the times. Use sat.
in flowers instead. Put a fine row OF
tiny rosebuds across che shoulder or
a little cluster of forget-me-nots over
the band where the fronts close and
your brassiere will look SO fascinat-
ing that you'll enjoy putting 1t on. and
incidentally, you'll wonder how you
ever managed without it.
