So. dakota Sheriff
Gives Long Chase

A recent opinion of the attorney
generals department is of great i'm
.portance TO sheriffs and peace officers
generally in this state and will be read
with interest by many of our readers,
as similar circumstances have taken
place in this part of the state during
the past wear. The case in question
comes from Sanborn county, and the
question at issue is the one of allowing
expenses of an official in the pursuit
of a criminal. The sheriff of San
born county started on the trail Of a
murderer and followed him by auto
across Nebraska, Kansas and into Ok
lahoma; losing track of his man in the
hills of Oklahoma. The chase was
Din a hired auto, which made 1900 miles
and Was out over forty days The bill
for the auto hire was over $500, and
1.-THE personal expenses of the sheriff
$500. This, the attorney general holds
I is moi valid claim against the coun-
Ety, as the law of this state makes no
prov isiUn for allowing expenses in n
search for a criminal if he has gotten
Ibeyond the jurisdiction of the sheriff.

Serious Charges
Against Parson

+ Geddes, S. D.. Mar. 21-Charges OF
dishonesty and immortality have been
preferred against the Rev. John Gar
retson, former pastor of the Congre
gational church of this place, by Amos
Bowles, a member of the church.
E Something over a year ago Rev. Mr.
Garretson was called to the pastoratc
of the Congregational church of this
place from a church in Nebraska, on
good recommendations. But he had
not been in town a great while be-
fore it was discovered that he was
playing fast and loose in money mat
tiers, running in debt at every store
and never paying anything he could
get out of.
Stories were also numerous as to
Immoral conduct and conduct unbe-
coming minister. Last April Gar
retson was practically forced to re-
sign, and when he attempted to move
| his household goods they were attach
| ed ana SOLD at PUBIC auction. Inc
members of the church here were not
at first inclined to believe the charges
Eagainst him, until it was discovered
that he was ATTEMPTING to work the
same game in the pastorate where he
is now located in Missouri Farmal
charges We're therefore made by Mr..
Bowles, accompanied by proofs, and
laid before the Springfield Association
of Congregational churches and min
listers of Missouri. This body will
take action at its next meeting next
month. 1t is understood that the Con
gregational ministers of the state are
standing with Mr.. Bowles in his move

Conditions Over
Sunshine State

From various parts OF the state
come the announcements OF the an
rivals Of new settlers, Of the return
of those who we're temporarily scared
out of South Dakota last fall, and Il
general awakening of all activities.
The sensational stories published last
fall about the undesirnbilily Of this
state as q place of settlement ami
permanent residence, most OF "hich
we're but the veriest hot air, haV"
not been given much CrGdcnce, ana the
prospective settlers understand thr'
they have all to gain by coming here.
Physical conditions in the state are
all that could bc desired This year, ana
the amount Of moisture in the soil l.,
almost a record breaker. Prospec s
for a successful farming year were
never brighter than they arc now.
The improvements in the state ii
the way of new buildings and the like.
AS shown by news received and pun.
iISnGN from liitC W Iiult hlloH tit'I
the talk about hard times for the past
few months, was local rather than
general While some people in some
communities were affected, The state
as whole stands high today
The fact that some bank deposits
fell behind the usual stage is not sucu
bad sign after all, it is rather graft
flying that many who did not have rs
good Il success last year as during the
previous years, had something to fall
back upoT; and it draws attention to
the need of those habits of thrifty
saving, the beneficial result OF which
is now being gratefully appreciated by
those who had the neslegg" duly
stored away.
The temporary "pinched condition
of some people may teach them to be
more careful, more saving, and there
fore, more prosperous. A little ad,
& varsity, once In a while, is better than
Y too much prosperity.
South Dakota seems to have entered
upon one Of the most successful years
\ in its history: and this is saying a
3 great deal, for its history is full .ol

place had been projected and COM
menced by Nero, the Roman Emperor
The rock where his cutting began was
considered defiled and was blown to
pieces by dynamite discharged by the
hand of the Queen of Greece. The
canal was completed in 1888 and has
been a great convenience to shipping.
General Grant began his campaign in
Virginia on this day in 1864. Fifty years

FARMERS LEARNING

BUREAU FOR HELP
Department Gives Great Aid
in Solving Prob
lens.

But few persons realize the work done
by the Department of Agriculture for
tire farmers of the country. Every citi-
zen of the United States is entitled to
gratuitous advice on any farming or
gardening operation. The farmer who
finds his stock suffering from some new
form of malignant disease, his crops
wasting under an unknown variety Of
blight. or who, despite hard work and
careful management, can get his farm
books df he keeps any to show a bal
ance on the right side of the ledger at
the end OF the year, can turn to the de-
partment OF agriculture for advice on
every one of his problems by men who
have made careful and exhaustiy e
study In the particular line of resea ch
involved. Many farmers know this and
do not hesitate to lay their problems be-
fore the department Many others are
just beginning to realize II.
Similar service is not extended alone
to those who are already farming, but
to those who intend to begin farming or
gardening on a market scale.
Colonists and settlers in any part of
the country can get from the depart
ment authentic and official informal ton
as to the kind of soil and its ada ptabil-
titles In any section OF the United States
that they have under consideration. Ad-
vice is given on the most suitable crops,
animals or fruits, and the conditions of

rolling down the hill and, went chasing
after II like the wind
But when he reached the bottom he
did not unite the sack at all. Instead
he swung It over his shoulder and trot-
ted of to the woods, leaving poor Mrs.
turkey weeping on the top OF the hill
''Ha! ha!' laughed he, as he locked
up the turkeys In a coop on reaching
his home. II will have a fine birthday
dinner OF roast turkey, and now must
look for the cranberry sauce"
In her grief Mrs. Turkey went to ask
the help of Mr.. Fox, and he promised to
find her children, and bring them home.
The first thing he did was to get his
ak, then find a strong young tree in
the woods. When he found the tree he
stuck the ak in with a big blow, then
placed a sharp stick of wood in the hole
ana pulled the ak out. Then he drove
TIE stick hard into the trunk till there
was a wide split cracked right through
the middle, large enough to put ones
arm through.
Then he called on MIR. Bear. And
when Mr.. Bear said he was just start
ing out to look for some cranberry
sauce Mr.. Fox told him that there was
some hidden up in tree down in the
woods.
Come right along with me-" contin-
ued Mr.. Fox, setting out at a trot, II
can get it for you in minute
So he led Mr.. Bear right in front of
the young oak in which the stick was
still sticking to hold the hole open.
You just stand still right here" re-
marked Mr.. Fox, "and open your hands
wide while / shake down the bucket Of
cranberry sauce. And while Mr.. Bear
was busy watching UP the branches for
the bucket Mr.. Fox grabbed the long,
black tail and stuck II through the
split in the trunk Of the tree and pulled
on 1t till Mr. Bear, was jammed right
up tight against the tree. Then Mr.
Fox knocked out the stick with the AK
and the tree shut tight on the bears
tail.
Now" said Mr.. Fox. II have got
you right. Tell me where the little
turkeys are. and I will set you free.
And II you don't tell you can stay here
and starve." So poor Mr.. Bear told
where the coop was and Mr.. Fox ran
there and set them loose. Then he
| came back, but as he was not strong
enough to pry the hole in the tree
open, he had to chop the tail off. So
| that is why all bears have no tails
even to this day.

OFFICIALS THINK U.S..
WILL AID PANAMANS
Guarantee Of Fair Election
Likely To Be
Offered.

That the United States Government
If necessity arises, will intervene in
the Presidential election in Panama
to the extent of seeing that it is fair
ly conducted, is the opinion of Of
ficials of the State Department.
Unofficial diSpaIc ches from Panama
state that President Arosemena has
requested this Government to assist
in guaranteeing a fair contest. 1t
On the isthmus is a delicate one, and
il is also known that the party lead
ers in the small republic are fearful
lest some small incident may start a
furorA
In view of President Taft's letter to
the President of Panama in May 1898
warning Panamans against fraud and
violence at the election, 1t is not
thought that this Government would
have any hesitancy in aiding the ad-
ministration now in power to check
an uprising.
