Reservation Opening.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Charles III.
Burke has written friends to the effect
that the balance of the Standing Rock
Indian reservation will be thrown open
to settlement as other portions Of the
west were opened prior to the regis
tration system. An extract from his
letter said: II have been to the In
dian office and also to the general
land office and find that the matter
is now waiting the completion Of al
lotments, and that 1t is not fully de.
termined whether the opening will be
this fall or next spring. ] urged that
ii be given attention and that the
lands be opened to settlement at the
earliest practicable date. 1t is not
considered necessary to have a regis
tration in connection with this open
ing. and the lands will be opened to
homestead entry On the theory Of first
come first served"

Risks Life: Saves Child.

Sioux Falls.-Elmer Currier of Ban.
croft, proved himself a hero here when
he risked his own life and saved that
of a 10-year-old girl. who was in dan.
ger of being crushed to death beneath
the wheels Of a speeding automobile.
Currier was visiting in DeSmet when
he made the daring rescue. The girl
was on a crosswalk and did not notice
the approach Of the auto, which was
being driven at a high rate OF speed.
When the machine was but a few feet
distant Currier jumped into the dan.
ger zon and violently pushed the girl
out of danger. but he was not so for.
tunate himself. He was unable to get
out of the pathway of the car, the
lamp of which struck him and he was
rolled over several times. He was
not fatally injured, but one of his legs
was put out of commission and he will
have to use crutches for some time
time to come.

BARRELS EXPLODED BY RAIN
They Were Filled With Lime. and
Waterman Got OFF One just In
Times

When workmen who are building an
apartment building at Sixty-sixth
street and Park venue left, they took
ordinary precautions against rain.
They covered t~wenty-four barrels of
lime with a sheet Of canvas and fast
ened 1t down with planks. The rain
came and ran through crevices.
Mike Dolan. the Waterman, sat on
n OF the barrels in the early morn
Ing hours. He felt very warm. and
got off to investigate. The next min.
ute there was a roar, and the barrel
jumped up. The rest of the barrels
jumped up and exploded, and the
wooden containers caught fire.
When the firemen came. all hands
worked with shovels and threw sand
on the lime until 1t resembled mortar.
Then Dolan found another seat.-New

There is great difference OF opinion
in regard to a covered porch. You
seldom want to sit outdoors when it
rains, even if you have a roof over
you; and the appearance is a mere
question of preference. Some folks
are always kicking about a porch be-
cause 1t darkens the rooms in the
house. There is no such objection
to a porch of this kind. Sun, air, and
light, all have a fair chance at every
window, and you still have an oppor-
tunity to sit outdoors If you want to.

Sioux Falls.-Commencing July 1
Sisseton will have the nearest ap-
proach to a municipal saloon of any
town in South Dakota. Through an
arrangement unique in the history of
the saloon business in the state the
town will have but one saloon after
July /, although entitled to two under
the new Il to 900 state license law
which goes into effect at that.
The licenses for two saloons we're
granted to w. f. Bollenbeck, who Of
fered to pay for the two licenses in
order to be able to do business during
the coming year without competition.
The two licenses will cost him an ag-
gregate of $4,000 and will permit him
to u only one saloon, in accordance
with the agreement entered into be-
tween himself and the city. Bollen-
beck will conduct the business on
unique lines. He will work on a salary
Of $1.,S00 per year, and the profits OF
the business will be divided as fol-
lows: Fifty per cent will go into the
county road fund and the remaining
so per cen will go into the city treas
ury.
The daily receipts Of his saloon
will be turned over to j.. A. Rickert
and ]. Plut, leading citizens, under
whose control the business will be
conducted. The name of the city will
not appear in any Of the transactions
of the saloon. The new state law
has been carefully examined by at
torneys, who say there is nothing in
it to conflict with the novel agreement
entered into with Bollenbeck.

A small, square house with a cot
tage roof is shown in the accompany.
ing perspective view and plans. The
severe plainness of the design is re-
lieved by the projection of the cor.
nice, which gives the house a rather
distinguished appearance. This is a
small house, with only six rooms be-
sides. a, nice front hall and a bath
room; but it is convenient and we'll
arranged, and the rooms are fairly
large. The parlor and dining rooms
are exceptionally good room for a
dwelling of these dimensions.
1t is quite the fashion now to make
long living rooms, and there Is much
20 recommend it. The furniture may
be placed to so much advantage, and
there is room to use good, big easy
chairs and couches. According TO
old-fashioned plans, a room II feet 6
inches long would be out of the ques-
ton in a house Of this size. 1t is easy
to make big, light, airy rooms If you
have money enough to build a big
house; but 1t is not easy to get COM
modious and comfortable rooms in a
small house. 1t takes a good deal Of
ingenuity and careful planning to get
six good rooms, In addition to neces-
sary accessories, in a house rs by 80
feet:
A feature of this house that will
appeal to the women is the built-in
sideboard, which faces the dining
room, and also faces the kitchen. A
niece of furniture like this is a great
convenience and comfort to a house
keeper. Such things were unknown
TIP to within a few years. There are
= great many little things to be kept
In order in the kitchen, and there are
some larger things that persistently
get in the way unless you have a place
to nut them,
The kitchen, part of this house is a
perfect workshop. 1t is in such easy

about the superintendent of the con-
struction. After securing the best
workmen and supplying the best ma
~terials, it is necessary to follow up
the details as the building progresses.
1t is n thing to get a good set OF
plans, but 1t Is quite another to see
that the building is put up according
to specifications.
One feature in connection with this
house that is about as interesting as
anything else, is the price. Similar
houses have been built for $1,400,
without heating or plumbing; but they
have been built under especially IA
vorable circumstances. 1t would be
much safer to estimate $1,000 or ST.
700 in small places, or more in the
larger cities.

Left His Watch, But
Has No Idea Where

George K. Gilliland, former secretary
of the late Senator Brice of Ohio, is back
from Europe, "a sadder but a wiser
man."
He has a new watch. That's what
makes him sad.
He got the watch in Bremerhayen,
where they have streets that wind and
wind like the devious paths Of sin. The
streets have lot to do with this story,
so be patient a moment more.
Mr.. Gillilend took his old American
chrOnometer into a jeweler on one of
Bremerhavens strange streets. The
aforesaid chrOnometer was an old friend.
So Mr. Gilliland took careful note of
what the store looked like, and thought
to himself that he'd be able to find thar
place again.

that watchmaker's shop is--and that's
