One Hundred Men Begin Work
On Highway

Alexandria, S. D., June 3.-Im-
PEELED by unbounded enthusiasm for
a good roads movement in genera
and a thorough determination not to
be out-done in efforts to do her full
share toward the early and adequate
completion Of the Scenic highway
within her boundary, nor any other
locality within the state trayersed by
the great thoroughfare, o than
100 men and forty teams were en-
gagged in s~urfacing with gravel a
strip of the scenic nearly two
miles in length and located east of
Alexandria.
The pit from which the gravel was
obtained was about 200 feet in
length, enough shovelers being sta
toned on either side Of the line of
teams to fill the wagons as they
passed along without coming to a
halt. For a considerable time the
time required for filing each wagon
was SO seconds, and for the entire
day an average of better than a load
a minute was placed upon the road
way. The force Of shovelers en-.
braced men of every calling from
the city, while many of the teams
and drivers were supplied by the
farmers in the vicinity of the work.
Physicians, merchants. bankers,
lawyers. printers, landmen and pub
lie officials Wed with each other in
welding the long handled shovels
during the entire dav and acquitted
themselves with every whit as much
credit as professional 'mieks."
At the noon hour a bountiful meal
was furnished by the ladies Of the
city, a large number of whom were
present in person and assisted in
, serving the dinner. In order tc
, complete the entire strip of road in
the n day it was necessary to con.
tinue the work until past 6 O'Clock
in the evening, and accordingly {
!, fine hot lunch was served by the
|, ladies at 5 o'clock.
, The strip of road had been prev,
iously graded in the most approved
|, manner. and the coat of gravel now
given it will make it one of the fines
!, pieces of road in the county, anc
/ will retain its character for many
years,
Similar bees have been planned
for work in other parts of the coun
ty, and it is proposed to continue
the work until Hanson county's par

IMMIGRATION
BUREAU REPORT
Department Is Getting Good Re-
suits

Sioux Falls, s. D, June TO- An
outline Of what his bureau is doing
for South Dakota was given by John
d. Deets, chief of the states immi-
grafton department. while he was in
Sioux Falls.
Commissioner Deets reports that
there is an influx of settlers into the
region between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills in western South
Dakota, and that homestead entries
in the northwestern part of the state
are increasing rapidly in number.
The better farming movement and
incidentally the back-to-the-farm
movement is being aided by the state
development league, which has
divided the state into districts so the
movement can be pushed to the
greatest degree possible.
Two expert farmers now are an
ployed in the state to show what can
be done by modern scientific farm
ing methods-one by the Commercial
club at Aberdeen and the other by
the Sioux Falls Commercial club.
Mach good is expected to result
from these experimental farms.
The state also has established exper-
mental or demonstration farms at
several points in the state.
The state immigration department
has succeeded in enlisting the aid of
the United States government in an
experimental irrigation farm near
Fort Pierre, Stanley county. The
department also has been sending
out llteratu re which is designed tt
attract SUI amer tourists to the Black
Hills. which it is generally acknow,
lodged rs one of the most picturesque
spots I'm the American continent.

Eight People Murdered

VIllisca, Ia, June 11.-Joseph
Moore. prominent Villisca business
man, his wife and four children, and
two women belived to be Mrs Van
Glider and her daughter, relatives
of the Moores. were found murder
ed in the Moore home.
The heads of the victims had been
mashed to a pulp. An axe, covered
with blood, and human hair was
found in the house and it is suppos-
ed to have been the instrument with
which the crime was committed.
All were murdered in their beds
There is no definite clue to the muir
derer, although search is being made
it is said, for one person suspected
by the authorities.
Owing to the mutilation the ident-
ity of the two women could not be
absolutely established. but the Van
elders. who live q few miles from
Villisca, are known to have visited
the Moores. so it is felt certain that
the victims are the women named.
No robbery was committed and it
seems clear hat only a desire for
revenge could have prompted the
murder unless the work was done
by a mailman.
The local militia company is scour-
ing about Villisca searching for some
trace of the murderer. The great
est excitement prevails in the town
and it is estimated more than 5000
persons have flocked to the Gene of
the crime.

Presidential Fight

The preliminary skirmishes are
now taking place at Chicago. for
next Tuesdays big show. The Taft
forces have the National Committee
which decides contested seats, and
selects the temporary chairman, and
they are making a great ''holler"
that they have everything their way.
AS a matter Of fact the President
had only 201 sure delegates, and
whatever he gets out Of the contests,
which will still leave him below the
necessary $40. These southern con
tests he is now getting have been
conceded to him by independent OBJ
servers. The same figures give Col
onel Roosevelt All sure votes. The
Colonel should get some of the con-
tested votes in Texas, Missouri,
Washington, Michigan. Of course
the Committee can use the steam
roller and simply steal these dele
gates, regardless of the merits and
fairness. but if they do so. and force
Taft's nomination. they r certainly
inviting the wrath Of the American
people, who, oft mistaken, are al
ways fair if they understand the
matter in hand.
