RUSSIAN THISTLE AS FORAGE
Proves Savior for Live Stock in West
ern South Dakota.

Lawrence Brekke, a rancher from
the Cheyenne river country, says the
dry season OF last year taught him and
a number of his neighbors they have
been neglecting one of their most val
liable dry season products in past
years. This was the despised Russian
thistle. On account of the dry wealth
er that was about the only plant life
which made any growth in his section
OF the state until late in the season.
A number of the ranchers begun to
cut thistles as last hope for anything
in the way of forage.
Where the thistles were cut before
they begun to harden, and were prop
erly stacked they have proven the
best of forage, or, as Mr. Brekke says,
fully equal to or better than alfalfa
as fattening and milk producing feed. y
Several ranchers who own silos tried
them out in that manner and say that
they will keep up the practice regard
less of the ease in securing other pro-
duct for their silos in years with great
er rainfall. In fact the Cheyenne river
ranchers from this time on, instead of
looking on the Russian thistle as a
nuisance, will begin to look after it as
a first class fodder crop.

At a conservative estimate the farms

Numerous persons had rendered
homestead entries on the lands in

pending the decision of Judge Elliott.
Unless the decision is overturned by
higher courts these intending home

entry on the farms sought by them.
Mrs. Sully is the widow of Jack

CHILDREN LOSE LIVES

Mitchell, March 12.-The farm
house of j. G. jacques, northeast of
this city. burned this morning at an
early hour and Mr.. Jacques four
children were consumed in the flames.
After starting the fire Mr.. Jacques
went back upstairs and later smelled
smoke when ascending the stairway.
The fire had burned beneath the
stairs and when he walked down
them he fell through the floor be-
meath. Going out doors he called to
his wife to throw the children through
the window to his arms, but when
she opened the window she swooned
and fell from it to the ground, sus-
tanning severe injuries. The children
were overcome with the smoke and
we're unable to get to the windows to
be saved. The little bodies were
found burned to a crisp when the
FIRE subsided.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

The editor of the Daily Dakotan
was pleased to misrepresent Mr..
Egan, last Tuesday when he said:
George w. Egan offers $1,000 to
anoyne who will prove that he ever
apologized to the supreme court"
The statement made by the editor
Of the Dakotan is absolutely untrue.
Mr.. Egan, before an overflow meet
ing in Fort Pierre last Thursday
evening, stated that he did apologize
to the members OF the supreme court;
he has admitted it everywhere since
the speaking campaign began.
The editos of the Dakotan, in mis-
representing Mr.. Egan at this time,
has served notice upon his friends,
that he was about to inaugurate a
campaign of misrepresentation and
vilification. The editor of the Dako-
tan has, as assistant, a lineal descend
ant of homegrown, the dirtiest indi.
vidual that ever wrote or thought.

1t is the conclusion of the president
that he will not intervene in the at
fairs of Mexico, unless congress gives
him specific directions to take that
course. He will impress upon the au-
thorities of the state of Texas the
necessity for the enforcement of the
neutrality laws. The Mexican situa-
tion does not improve and it has been
made clear that there is serious suf-
fering among American residents of

Brookings Register: There seems to
be but little diversity of opinion among
the newspaper boys, stalwart or in
surgent, as to the unfitness of that
man Curtiss for any Office in the gift of
the people. This man Curtiss dubs the
newspaper publishers as 'grafters,
liars. and nincompoops" but the fact
still remains that the newspapers of
the state have done more so build up
our commonwealth than this reformer
Curtiss could ever do if he lived to be
% old and gray as Methuseleh. His
attempted boost for himself at the ex-
pense of the newspapers of the state is
. giveaway and reveals his object in
posing as reformer.

The British flag hoisted to the apex oil
the south pole Sunday will have to come
down. On the face of the present re-
turns the Norwegian flag should go up
instead, but it may be well to postpone
the hosting process until clearer in
formation Is secured. The report is
that Capt. Amundsen. supposed to
have reported the Scott victory, now
claims to have discovered the pole
himself, and will say nothing about
Scott. Whether Scott got to the pole
before or after Amundsen, or whether
he got there at all, or whether Amund-
sen got there, offers the makings for a
nice little polar puzzle that may have
as all guessing as we were guessing for
4 time over the Peary- Cook conundrum.

CLAIMS ARE NOT ALL TRUE


Queen City Mail: The press agent
for Candidate Byrne has given to the
public list of the many laws on the
statute books for which Mr.. Byrne
claims the sole right to call all his
own. Wilbur S. Glass, of Watertown
takes exception to many of those
claims, and AYERS that most of the
progressive legislation was placed on
the statute books before Byrne be-
came state senator, or was the pro-
duct of other brains. Mr.. Glass is a
pretty hot number himself, and when
he gets after Byrne it will keep that
gentleman explaining-too busy, in
fact, to throw much mud at L"omis
