In his quest on high prices Lawley
found that because many of the ship

refused to ship to Chicago and a

Licensing the produce dealer and
holding the revocation of the char
ter above his head as a penalty for
crookedness was the solution of the
problem, according to Lawley.
Lack of confidence among ship

caused a scarcity of foodstuffs, es-

STATE LEVY
Again 1 INTELLECTUALLY Lower Next
Year.

Pierre, Aug. 27.-The tax COM
mission has levied a ] mill tax again
this year and the probabilities are
that next years levy will be under /
mill. Such a probability is proved
by this years figures. The revenue
this year derived from a ! mill levy,
will be $1,221,277; miscellaneous re-
eeipts into the state treasury r es-
timated at $461,750 for this fiscal
year, 1914-15, and that totals ST.
$685. 27 in revenue. The appropria-
tions for the fiscal year are $685.
S97 and the continuing appropriation
of $53,550 bring the prospective ex-
penditure to $~1,422,447, leaving a
prospective surplus of $3.50, $50. On
July i, 1914, there was cash on hand
in the state treasury of $363,S74.
This gives a balance of $624,454,
which can be used for legislative ex-
pense this coming winter and for de-
fciency appropriations. Last year
the legislative expense and deficiency
appropriation did not nearly equal so
large a sum and it is not likely they
will this coming year, in which event
the balance may be used in the gen
eral fund to take care of the capital
building warrants.

London. - Premier Asquith an

day that Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander of British expe-
dictionary force, reported he was en-
gagged yesterday against superior
German forces. The British troops
fought splendidly and Gen, French

At Miller Proves to be a Complete
Success.

Miller, Aug. 27.-The city has just
secured a new three-inch artesian
well that flows 100 gallons a minute
with a pressure of 80 pounds to the
inch. Another well will be put down
later to make the supply of water
ample during the hot, dry periods of
summer. The flow of this well indi-
Gates that the great artesian basin
that mean so much to South Dakota
is not diminishing to any great ex-
tent. The water as it flows out, is
charged with fine sand that gives it
a milky appearance. During the
early years here, when the first large
we'll was sunk, tiny fish were thrown
out with the flow of water. Gas also
came out with the water, as it does
yet. 1t was touched off at different
times with a match and the flames
made quite a showing even in the
daylight. 1t is believed by many
that the path from the great artesian
basin is lined with coal oil and other
valuable minerals.

husbands and fathers offered their
lives to the kings service.
Patriotism, of course, was at fever
heat, but many of the poor fellows
who crowded the recruiting stations
at Liverpool had been out of work
for months and they were glad of the
chance to go to war. 1t at least prom
ised them food and clothing.
AT every turn l was approached
by begging children in rags. This
was especially true in Dublin, where
poverty is pitifully evident upon "

to give her a penny. / handed her
several and you ought to have seen

you, it is awful over there.
Horses are being seized by the
government for military use. An of
ficer sees a likely appearing animal
hitched to a cart and he steps up to
the driver and orders him to unhitch,
leaving the cart in the road. He
writes out a check for f35 ($170)
and takes the horse. Plowmen in the
fields have to give up their animals
in the same way"

CAPTURE HORSE THIEF
Day County Officers Arrest Sisseton
Indian.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 27.-The Day
county authorities, after a pursuit
extending over several counties, have
arrested a Sisseton Sioux Indian
named Robert Max on the charge of
horse stealing. The Indian only a
few months ago completed a term of
six months in the Sioux Falls peni-
Tertiary for a similar offense. His
latest crime was the theft of a team
Of horses and a buggy at Waubay.
Soon after stealing the horses, and
while attempting to make his way
out of the country with them, the
animals became frightened and ran
away, smashing the buggy to splint-
ers. The Indian had a narrow es-
cape from being seriously injured.
He then made his way on foot back
to his home in Roberts county and
upon his appearance there was ar
rested by the Day county authorities.

PROPERTY CHANGES
SEVERAL MADISON RESIDENCES
CHANGE HANDS AND NEW
HOMES TO BE BUILT.

The best indication that Madison
is growing by leaps and bounds is
the demand for residence property
and the large number of residences
that are in course of construction and
have been completed this summer in
different parts of the city. While we
are not able to give exact figures of
the number, we believe not less than
thirty residences have been built and
are being completed in the city this
summer. There is a greater demand
for residence property than ever be-
fore in the history of the city and a
number of sales are being made.

SELLING HORSES
superintendent of SiSseton Agency
Issues Circular Regarding Sales
to Indians.

Sisseton, Aug. 27.-Supt. Mossman
of the Indian agency here has issued
1 circular regarding the purchase of
horses for Indian farmers, and how
the horse proposition is regulated.
He states that as a rule only mares
will be purchased for the Indians,
and he urges the latter to breed the
mares regularly and raise their own
horses, explaining to them that they
cannot make any money by buying all
the horses needed. He makes the fol-
lowing announcement: ANY person
known to refund money or other
goods to an Indian to influence the
purchase of horses or other proper
ty, will be barred from doing further
business through this office in open
market purchases. Farm raised
horses sold by farmers raising them
are preferred. Indian prices for
horses will not be tolerated. Horses
sold at this agency must be as rea-
sonable in price as those prevailing
among white farmers in this vicinity.
No driving teams will be sold except
to old people who are not able to
farm. The indiscriminate purchase
of horses, as far as my authority is
concerned must cease. One trial
only will be given Indians who have
been known to dispose of former
teams bought for them by sale, trade
or abuse"
