More Horse Stealing.
Another Indian in Trouble. Little
Evidence Against Him.

Mary Bear, living near the
Agency, lost a horse last week,
and suspicion soon rested upon
John Williams, who was arrested
He denied the charge against
him and j j. Batterton was Sc
cured to defend him. The evi-
dence was such that Justice
Prindiville bound Williams over
to the next term of the circuit
court, bail being fixed at $500
which was furnished.
Horse stealing appears to be
growing quite common in this
county, and States Attorney
Mani says he will stamp it out
if such thing is possible.

He Raised the Stack.

AS usual when something real
is to be accomplished, John Chris
tianson was called into action
last Friday to erect the smoke
stack over the new engine at the
electric light plant. The stack
was about seventy feet from tip
to tip when assembled and
weighed about 1900 pounds, and
while 1900 pounds is not or
dinarily hard to handle the area
which it covered made it slight
Ly unwieldy and awkward. Pre-
dictions were freely advanced
from all sides that it 'couldn't .
be did," and that the stack would
never be raised, and while the
task did. look rather impossible
the adverse comment lit John

STATE NEWS ITEMS

On inquiry from Turner coun-
ty, the attorney general holds
that Sunday baseball is illegal
in this state, regardless OF the
matter of an admission charge
or payment of the players. While
chapter 234 of the laws Of 1907
was supposed to allow Sunday
baseball when no charge is made,
it is held this act did not repeal
sections - and 45 of the penal
code which prohibit public sports
on Sunday, regardless of the
matter of admission.
The express companies are in
for more grief in this state in the
order by the state railway com
mission requiring them to make
monthly station reports of their
business in this state, which will
give the amount and character of
business of the companies at
each station in South Dakota.
The commission has also issued
an order requiring the express
companies TO make iii connection
with their annual report, a de-
tailed showing of their business
in the state, and their method of
distribution of charges on the
business transacted in the state.
The state tax commission has
ordered a reaSSeSSment of
moneys and credits in seventeen
different towns of the state, not

The Nebraska legislation has
enacted nine-hour working law
for women. Further more, no
woman other than those working
for public service corporation,
meaning a telephone company,
is permitted to work after 10 n.
m. A curious phase of the stu
alton is as to the effect the new
law will have upon the servant
question, both in cities and upon
farms. The law makes no dis.
tinction except in favor of
female employees of public ser
, vice concerns. Under it's pro-
visions a servant who begins her
kitchen work at 6 a. M, and stops
an hour at noon, will not only
be entitled to quit work at q p.
M, but both the girl and her
mistress will be liable to heavy
fines if that hour is not made
quitting time.
The farmer members of the
legislature enacted the law and it
is possible after all that the
farmers are going to be harder
hit than are the town people.
Female labor on the farm is a
hard proposition at best. Under
the new law, if the farm girl gets
up in time to get breakfast for
the farmer and his hands, she
will be able to quit work about

Big Crowd at
Town Lot Sale.
ew Railroad Causes Some
Stir up North.

The Veblen paper has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the sale
of lots on the new line of rail
road:
At the opening sale of town
lots at Rosholt on August l1th'
about 500 people were present
and the bidding for business and
residence locations was lively.
Corner lots in the business dis
trict, sold as high as $3.50 per,
and the total sales amounted to
$1,000. Several purchasers
had their building material on
the ground and We're prepared
to begin building operations at
once.
This town has a splendid future
before it and those who have
located here are Fortunate
Tuesday, August 18th, the
sale of lots took place at New
Ellington and while the lots went
a shade cheaper, the aggregate
sales amounted to considerable
more than those at Rosholt. The
farmers of this vicinity are great
ly interested in this town and it
is a safe guess that New Effing-
ton will be prosperous and live
trade center.
The sale at Claire City was not
so we'll attended, consequently
fewer lots were sold and at a
lower price.
Yesterday was sale day for
Veblen, and everybody was out
to listen to the Southland Orch
estra and seize the opportunities.
The Southland Orchestra came
in from Claire City Wednesday
evening and entertained good
crowd until late in the evening.
Each and every one of these
gentlemen is an artist in his line,
and their efforts were fully ap-
preciated by the people
ELEVATOR BUILDING
The Osborne McMillen Eleva-
tor Co., have concluded to build
an elevator before the road gets

their elevator crew, ready to go
to work. They have employed
Mr.. G. D. Thompson to transfer
their lumber for them and with
his line of motor trucks, he will
soon have the material on the
ground.
Inside lots sold as high as 500
and the corner north of the post
office sold for $3.50. More lots
we're sold at private sale after
the auction than during the sale
and better prices were paid.
Now let us all boost the town.

While summer days grew brown and old
wizard deved in mines of gold
No idler he-by night, by day.
He smiled and sang and worked away;
And misers scorning, with free hand
He cast his gold across the land
The naples caught it ere it fell;
Witch hazel turned before it's spell:
The goldenrod's high plumes of green
We're feathered with its golden sheen,
While barb ry bush and bittersweet
Wore berries golden as the wheat
Still smiling DER the trees he wound
Long russell scarfs, with crimson bound;
He hung veil of purple haze
Der distant fields where cattle Craze;
He oathed the sun in amber mist,
And stepped the sky in amethyst

LONG VACATION
Northview School Children
are Having While Wait
ing for Quarters.

Six or seven hundred school chill
dren at Northview are still enjoying
vacation as the result OF the pre-
dicament the board of education
there has been in over its inability to
obtain quarters for school purposes.
The board recently had the refusal
of twelve store rooms and houses for
temporary school quarters but it re-
fused to rent them on the ground
that it had no money for the pur-
pose.
A new school building to cost
$4,000 is in course Of construction
in the suburbs and the contractors
have agreed to haze it completed
and ready for occupancy by January

The Register, of Wheeling, thinks
it is something awful that Senator
Nathan Con has responded to call
to duty from his party by arranging
to make a few speeches in the First
congressional district. The Register
does not understand why there is no
popular protest against political
speeches by Senator Gon and a great
deal OF It against secretary of lee
lures Bryan for leaving his post of
duty to deliver a series of paid lee
lures on a chautauua circuit for the
benefit of his personal bank ae-
count. The reason is that Senator
Cor is patriot who believes his
party's policies the best for his
country and that Secretary Bryan is
a hypocritical demagogue who be-
lieves his personal pecuniary inter
ests are of much more Importance
than the welfare of either his party
or his country. 1t has not yet been
that the Democratic party
asked Secretary Bryan to deliver
chautauqua lectures.

specify just when this $2s is to come

least, is TO fall somewhat short OF
the $29. 1t is interesting to note
that while MIR. Nelly is promising US

ditions in this country during the
operation OF the Walker tarih bill
are NOT fully nor faithfully repre-
sented by the apoIogists of the pres
emit tariR law. The Walker tariff
law was enacted in 1916 and re-
manned in force until 1857, but
while the country enjoyed a certain
degrees OF progress and periods OF
prosperity in certain trades. the
Walker tariff as well as the succeed
ing tarin bill brought widespread
ruin to many industries and checked
the nations Industrial progress to a
considerable extent. Several unu-
sual events during that period, how
ever, tended materially to lessen the
effects OF the free trade tariff. Nu-
merous foreign wars and famines
created great demand for Ameri-
can Agricultural products, The dis
coyery of vast deposits OF gold in
California, which had one of the
greatest economic effects upon this
country in It's history, lessehed the
evil effects OF free trade. The
Mexican war also created domestic
activity that could not be Offset by
foreign commercial interference.
1t is worthy OF note however, that
when further tarifr reduction was at
tempted by the Democrats in 1857,
commercial and industfial ruination
Immediately followed and when the
Democrats were shortly afterwaru
kicked out and the Republicans
again came into power they were
confronted with country practical
ly bankrupt, It's treasury empty, its
Industries Frustrated, it's expendi-
lures exceeding receipts and an un-
favorable balance Of trade.
/ Voters should take no stock tp the
Walker tariff argument. When all
conditions OF the period during its
existence are taken into considera-
ticn as we'll as the direful results OF
its operation under normal condi-
lions, but little consolation can be
found in favor of Democratic free
trade tariff in what is declared by its
opponents to be its halcyon days.
