Blue Sky" Restrictions.

Pierre Because of the small num-
Der of applications filed, the state Sc
curities commission thinks there is
lack of general understanding as to
the provisions of the new blue sky
law. The act provides that every as
ISOLATION, corporation or firm-domes-
tic or foreign-intending to engage
in selling stocks, bonds or other evil
Gences of property for profit must first
secure a license from the commission.
The law applies to corporations char
tered before July l, 1913. as we'll as
TO those chartered since that date.
The banking corporations and
building and loan associations are the
only ~ exempted. The mere char
tering Of a corporation by the secre-
tary of state does no give ( the right
to sell stock until it is licensed by the
commission.

Gettysburg.-A marble gravestone
and a small gold plated locket found
by Contractor w. J. Miles, while ex-
cavating for the new city hall, have
caused considerable excitement and
much speculation at Gettysburg. How
the gravestone and gold locket could
have been deposited a little over one
foot under the ground, when there
was neither inhabitants nor town 10
a mystery. 1t is expected that a grave
will be found under the place where
the lccket was found.
The stone bears the date of the
burial of a child three months old.
in the year 1S49, thirty-three years
before the first white man entered
Gettysburg. The next town was miles
away and who could have buried the
child or left the %gravestone seems a
mystery.
This mysterious stone is II inches
wide, two inches thick and two feet
long and Of marble. 1t is machine
cut and OF the best mechanical work
m%anship. 1t reads as follows:

The gold locket is round and about
one inch long and one-eighth of an

graved which have been transcribed
as either n. A., n. G. or A. G. This

How the stone and the locket could
have been placed there or a grave dug
In 1S49 is a profound mystery, unless
the child died in the days of the gold
seekers rush over the plains from the
east to California.
By giving publicity to the finding
of this mysterious stone and locket
the city authorities hope to get some
facts about the stone and some evil
dence of its ownership.
If a grave existed it was not at the
same depth of the stone or gold
locket. but the e~xcayators are going
to make a special aud careful excava-
ton of the ground Immediately under
meath where the stone was found to
detect any traces OF a grave. The
stone and locket have been carefully
transferred to the Blakesley pool room
for preservation, and will be removed
to safe keeping in charge of the con-
tractors until some definite informa-
ton is received about the grayestone
and the ehild's or mothers locket.
The makers name of the locket is
B. & e. and it is in fairly good CON
dition, the gold being partly Worn

RATES TO SOUTH DAKOTA
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State institutions and From

The railroad commissioners nave or.
dered a hearing, date to be deter
mined soon, concerning the prepare
ton Of a monthly report to be fur
nlshed by each express company do

tlcipated will meet with some objec-
ton from the express people.
All railroad companies have been
ordered to report to the railroad com
missioners not later than October Is
whether their engines hav beeen fitted
with electric headlights, the numbers
OF engines, the places where operated
and the time of installation Of all such
lights. The law governing the head
light question requires that all such
lights must be installed not later than

order requiring all express companies,
in connection with their annual re-
ports, to make a detailed report Of
business transacted within the state,
and expenses charged to that bust
ness, together with the method used
by them in charging such expenses.
Some situations existing in the pres
ent practice of charging expenses dc
not meet with the favor of the rail
road commissioners.
