Indian Francis Van Moore, who was
sentenced to a life term for murder,

LAST RELICS OF THE MAINE
Six Thousand Pounds Of Brass and
Bronze Fittings Stripped From
Vessel Cast in Tablets.

New York.-Six thousand pounds Of
relics from the U. s. s. Maine, which
were taken from the battleship before
she was towed out to sea from Ha-
vana and given her final resting place,
have arrived at the John Williams
bronze foundry, to be cast into q 1T
ting and permanent memorial.
This disposition of the brass and
bronze fittings Of the battleship which
for twelve years had lain beneath the
sea Is in accordance with an act Of
congress.
The parts Of the wreck that were
thought to be suitable for the purpose
were first sent to Washington, where
they were melted together, purified
and cast into thirty-pound ingots. It L.
in this form that all that 10 left Of
the Maine has just arrived in New
York.
One thousand tablets, designed by
Charles Keck Of this city, are being
cast by the Williams foundry, and will
be delivered upon request to patriotic
societies all over the country. Two
hundred applications have already
been received at the office of the as
sistant secretary of the navy.
The tablets will have q natural
bronze finish; they will weigh twelve
and half pounds and measure IL by H.
inches.

"Hobo Day" Cause Of Excitment.

Pierre.-By way of variation from

RAISING OF ALFALFA.
STATE MAKING GREAT STRIDES
IN ITS GROWTH, DUE TO
PROF. HANSEN.
HAPP ENINGS OVER THESTATE
What IL Going on Here and There
That Is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South D.
kota and Vicinity.

Sioux Falls.-South Dakota has the
ambition to become the leading alfalfa
state of the union, and in succeeding
in this ambition will have to give
credit to Prof. N. w. hansen, of the
South Dakota Agricultural college,
who has gained a national reputation
as the alfalfa wizard" of the United
States, On several occasions during
the past six or eight years Prof. Han
sen has been sent as the representa-
tive of the United States department
of agriculture to Siberia and other
countries in search of alfalfas which
would be suitable and hardy enough
for the northern states of the United
States. These trips were very sue
cessful, and alfalfa seed gathered by
Prof. Hansen on the trips have been
developed into huge alfalfa fields in
nearly every western and northwest
ern state.
Prof. Hansen will depart soon for
another alfalfa seeking trip to eastern
Asia. The South Dakota legislature
at its recent session appropriated the
sum of $4,000 to cover the expenses
of the. trip. The purpose of the COM
ing trip is to procure alfalfa which
will be especially adapted to western
South Dakota, where the rainfall is
not as ample as in the eastern or older
section. The legislature also appro-
priated an additional $4,000 for use
by Prof. Hansen in the propagation Of
alfalfa in western South Dakota,
which formerly was the great cattle
range section of the state, but which
ers.
The successful gorwing of alfalfa in
that section of the state is of the ut
most importance to the homesteaders,
and is expected to transform the re-
gion into as prosperous a coutry as
any part of the United States. There
is the utmost confidence that Prof
Hansen on his coming trip will secure
varieties of alfalfa that will thrive
there and bring the utmost prosperity
to the many thousand of homesteaders.
Prof. Hansen will go direct from
South Dakota to Russia.
Some of the territory to be visited
by Prof. Hansen in Asia, after leaY-
Ing Russia, has extremes of temperS-
ture, ranging from 120 degrees above
in the summer to IS degrees below in
the winter, and with an annual rain
fall of less than nine inches. Prof.
Hansen hopes to secure two tons of
alfalfa seed on the trip. This he will
plant in western South Dakota next
spring.
The trip will test the endurance of
the most hardy men. To reach the
territory desired himself and party
will travel a distance of more than
1000 miles from the railroad through
Siberia, making the overland journ-
ney by camel. The necessary machin-
cry and appliances for gathering,
thrashing and transporting the seed
gathered will be carried by the party
on its trip from the railroad.
Through the efforts of Prof. Han
sen many thousands of acres already
have been planted to alfalfa in diff
eerent parts of South Dakota and have
brought prosperity to the residents of
the regions, and this area of alfalfa
will be greatly increased by the seed
which he will secure on his trip.

Canton.-A mass meeting of the cit

Miller.-The apparent discovery of
oil a short distance west of here, re-
calls the agitation and talk of boring
for oil here a few years ago. In the
early settlement of this section and
after the first artesian wells were
bored, oil talk became earnest and at
one period it was thought that a well
would be put down. 1t was quite COM

ton to equalize live stock and grains
and their respective products in the
Underwood tariff bill has been reach
ed by the senate finance sub-commlt-
tee considering the agricultural SEIZED
ule.
The New Plan.
1t has been agreed that if cattle,
sheep, hogs, wheat and oats are to
remain dutiable as the Underwood
bill classifies them, then a duty shall
be placed upon beef, mutton, pork,
wheat, flour and oats, or if these prod
ucts are to remain on the free list,
the raw materials will be converted
into the free list.
This is the first basic tariff change
to be planned by senate Democrats
since the Underwood bill came from
the house.
Whether raw materials and their
products are to be free listed or all
are to be made dutiable has not been
determined, but that all would be
treated alike was asserted by Sena-
tor John Sharp Williams, chairman OF
the subcommittee which has the
schedule in hand. The decision to
equalize these schedules, it also was
reported, had been reached with the
knowledge of the president and not
without his approval.
Declares Report Unfounded.
When Senator Williams was told of
report in circulation that his COM
mittee had decided to put all live
stock and grains on the free list in
keeping with their products as they
are treated in the Underwood bill he
declared that there was no ground
for such report.
The fight over this feature of the
Underwood bill began in the house
and there was considerable Democrat
ic opposition to the free listing OF
farm products, while the raw mate
rial was left dutiable. Some Demo
Gratis predicted during the debate that
the senate would change the schedule,
most of them asserting that live stock
and grains would go to the free list.
The Underwood bill puts a. duty of
10 per cent. ad yalorem on all live
stock and free lists all fresh meat; a
duty of 10 cents per bushel on wheat
and oats and free lists -four and oat-
meal.
Representative Underwood, chair
man of the house ways and means
committee, when asked about pro-
posed senate changes, said that he
had heard nothing about them and
that he did not intend to take further
part in the tariff consideration until
the bill gets to conference.
That there are to be great many
changes in the bill in the senate was
admitted by Senator Simmons, chair
man of the finance committee. He
announced, however, that next
Wednesday the subcommittee would
begin framing the various schedules
and that they hoped to have the bill
ready for the finance committee by
June 1. The Democratic caucus, he
said, would be called for consideration
of the bill about June and an ef-
fort will be made to report it to the
senate the following week.
