Congressman Underwood, the
leading exponent of the new tar.
iff, has gone on record as affirming
that it will save to consumers
81, 900, 600, 900 and that " the free
list alone should approximately
save some $4,000 900 " Sec
rotary of State Bryan says the tar
if will not only increase wages and
production, but will improve
quality and lower prices, though
not to the same extent to the con-
sumner that are reduced to the
trade. A canvass of leading
Eastern merchants shows a general
agreement of opinion that educt-
ion of from five to ten per cent in
retail prices of wearing apparel
may he looked for, accompanied by
an Improvement in quality. This
would seem to be reassuring, but
it is not well to expect immediate
favorable results. Some of the
larger manufacturers are not so
optomistic, the truth being that
they are not yet clear as to the eff
feet of the tariff changes. The
wisest attitude is one of patience,
so that the new order of things
may have fair chance to be tested
out in the business world. Christ.

CAN DELAWARE CITY Sc
CURE A MANUFACTURING
PLANT?
That manufacturing plant that
would give employment to, and
afford Delaware City's young peo'
pie chance to remain here, would
be not only most welcome but a
valuable asset to the material pros
perity of this community. And
none should be unwilling to do all
in their power to bring such stu
alton about. Now, it is generally
believed among those in a position
to know that Foote and Company
of Baltimore, Md, the firm which
has for two years, freighted toma-
toes from this neighborhood and
New Jersey in enormous quantities,
could be induced to locate their
factory here. By so doing, the
long haul by water from here to
Baltimore would be saved by the
change of canning plant from
Baltimore to where the fruit is
grown But many other adyan-
tages that would accompany this
change that could be used as al
argument, if an effort is made b!
our people TO induce the locatin!
of the factory in our midst. Tina
"a tomato canning plant gives EN-
ployment to its full capacity onl,
for a limited season of the year
should be no reason for hesitation
as the locating of one industry ma
be followed by others, and besides
if I'VE are to try to secure a factor

is incalcuable. " For a man SO
busy with the Municipalities of life
to spend so much time and money
in the realm of the ideal is beauti-
full indeed, and his giving back to
the people some of the millions he
has received from them is just.
There is no language to estimate
the worth of such a gift of art
There is mental and spiritua
nature that requires food. Christ

Then he met Alice, the beautiful
half-breed daughter of Wahtela, who
was fuIl-blooded Sioux, and of &c
CODY the French, J" who was descend
ed from an old "voyageur.
Alice was 10, and had inherited
her fathers good looks. She was hv-
ing on Clay Creek with her mother,
Wahtela, and Wahtela's latest con-
sort, Nicholas Janise, representative
of the American Fur Co. In the Black
Hills. ..-
Those were days Of easy unions.
White men bought and sold squaws,
in Indian fashion.
Tibbetts bought-not Alice, but her
mother, Wahtela, paying Janise many
head of cattle and horses. And Alice
came with her mother.
For several years the family kept
together, The three lived a life partly
Indian and partly civilized. The lib
belts brand became known from Can
ada to Texas and he was the wealth
lest "squaw man" on the Dakota
plain. And. Alice became the belle of
the reservation.
There was another beautiful half
breed on the reservation, Emily Jan
Use, who was bright and spoke En-
glish, French and Sioux.
Tibbetts married her, forsaking
Wahtela. And about the same time
Alice, eouFted by cowboys, soldiers
and officials, married a commissary
department clerk named George
White and went to live with him in
government quarters.
Then came the tragedy of the
beautiful half-breed girl. Five months
after the wedding she gave birth to a
baby boy. Everybody talked. Some
of his associates tWitted White about
it. He loved the girl, but could not
stand the shame of il and deserfnd

Tibbetts would have taken the
baby into his own home, but his wife
Emily hated the hoy and threatened
to kill him. Wahtela hid him several
days in the brush through fear. Alice
died not long afterward.
The boy grew up on the reaerva-
ton, went to the government school,
married and pFospeFed in a modest
way, His paFentage was always in
doubt, though he called himself Will
liam White Tibbetts.
A year ago Tibbetts died and his
wife Emily followed him, He left an
estate Of S50i00Oin money and num-
berless cattle and horses still running
on the reservation.
The obvious heir was a half-bFeed
girl that Tibbetts and Emily had
adopted, But William White Tibbetts,
son Of Alice White, asserted his claim,
and a Pennington County circuit
court jury at Rapid City has just de-
clared him to be the natural son Of
Ben Tibbetts "construetively adopt
ed" by him and co-heir to his name
and estate.
