Trees on Lawn of Capitol.
Pierre.-Actual planting OF trees
and shrubs on the capitol lawn Slogan
last week, the Newbury Seed com
pany of Mitchell, S. D., having the
contract for trees and shrubs to COM
plete the landscape gardening. The
plan involves native trees of South
Dakota, and shrubs which have given
proven satisfaction in this climate,
chiefly, and the arrangement is very
effective, having groups of trees n
shrubs, according to ccloring OF
green, in very natural placement, with
no rows of trees in formal lines.
Black Hills blue spruce, ash, elm, ETC.,
are the varieties chosen. From views
Of other capitol grounds or file here
it is very evident South Dakota's
grounds will be the most beautiful of
all, no Others having a natural lake,
and large expanse of territory includ-
ing a real 'ravine which gives South
Dakota the opportunity for the lake
on the east end of the grounds. In
two years the present planting of
trees, with the special care they will
receive, will give the finished appear
ance of the estate which will make it
a most slightly and decorative setting
fox the building. The wide expanse
of green lawn surrounding the build
ing and the lake, and the island in
the center of the water, have been
in existence for several years.

Richards seek an Injunction against
the auditor Of Beadle county restrain
ing him from furnishing the registra.

of repeating a law adopted by the peo-
pie under the initiative and referen'
dunn. The Richards primary law was
adopted by the people at the election
held in 1912. In 1914 the Coffey pri.

Argues for State Rifle Range.

Argues for State Rifle Range.
Pierre.-A state rifle range which
will be safe to the public and a suit
able site for a camp ground, are part
of the recommendations of Adjutant
General. Morris in his biennial report
just distributed. That the state rife
range at the Kampeska grounds
where there are ninteen targets with
firing points up to 1000 yards, and
an electrical signal system up to the
6O0-yard line, is one of the best n
most complete in the western states,
but under proposed regulations for
field firing soon to be adopted by the
war department could not be used.
without great menace to the public,
and that only straight away firing
into the AXE is possible with any de-
gree of safety, and with the addition
of proposed regulations a change OF
site for the rifle range would become
necessary, and that the Fort Sisseton
tract would be the most available
place for a camp ground to meet re-
quirements, for it belongs to South
Dakota for military purposes, but it
is somewhat inaccessible, being at
least eighteen miles from the nearest
railroad shipping point, are the opin-
ions of the adjutant general in his
report.

GUARD NEGLECTED BY STATE.
Plenty of Men in Service But Su7'-
Gent Funds are Lacking.

PISn1y OF "Ch ]"
Gent Funds are Lacking.
Pierre.-The adjutant generals bi-
ennial report has been received for
distribution, and shows that South
Dakota's appropriation for malnten"
ance of it's military department Is low
er than that of any surrounding states,
with a total enlistment or LUIS men,
as the legislature of 1916 appropriated
27.5OO annually for its maintenance
of which Governor Byrne vetoed So
| 600, leaving but $3.50 for mainten-
ance. The North Dakota department
with an enlistment of 599 men appro-
PIRATES $4,000 annually; Nebraska,
2 men, has s25, 900; Minnesota,
| 2,40O men, has $4,000; Washington,
| 1,178 men, s48,300: Iowa, with less
| than three times South Dakota's num-
Der of men, appropriates $141,OOO an
nua1ly. Kansas with one and one-half
times South Dakota's enlistment ap-
propriates more than three times as
much as this state.
The enlistment figures of a total or
1,O2S men for July l, 1914,
fifty-eight officers and $40 enlisted
men, is an increase of 209 enlisted
men of July l. 1912. Adjutant Gen
eral Morris recommendations for ad-
ditionaI maintenance appropriation is
summed up in his report: The rules
and regulations of the war department
| are yearly becoming more stringent,
requiring more time and expenditures
on the part of officers and men, as
we'll as by the state. The conditions
must be met because funds allotted
by congress are given conditionally
upon the state performing its part to-
ward maintaining the national guard.

I am 70 years old to-day Sunday
Fifty-two years to-day | was in the
battle of Charlottesville, 1868, Spot
sylvania County, Va. Our army under
General Lee, Jackson, Longstraet and
D. H. Hill, fought the battle of Chan
cellersville, Va, in 1868. I was then
a member of Company I, 9th Va.
Cavalry, under command of General
E. B. Stuart. We had fought the adj
vance guard of General Hooker
several days, but on May the I'd,
which waa Sunday, the main battle
began and Monday OF May the Sd by
dark the Union Army was in full
retreat. Tt was in that battle we lost
the greatest General the world
has ever known (Stonewall Jackson
About twilight on May the I'd, he
with his staff, rode over in the
enemy's lines and on returning
our men shot him, thinking it was the
Union Cavalry. He was taken back
to the hospital tent and kept there
until morning of the Sd, and he was
taken to Richmond, where he died
the following Sunday, May 10th.
This was one of the severest battles
that was ever fought in Va. The
trees and under brush were green and
it was more of a brush thicket than
anything else. Every twig was cut
by the bullets and shells. Tnevers saw
as many dead men in any battle be-
fore. To look at the scene it did not
look like any men could have passed
through this thicket without being
killed. General Stuart took charge of
General Jackson's army the next day.
1t was a great victory for the Con-
federate Army and 10Y while I am
writing this little story l cannot help
from thanking God for prolonging
my life these many long years.
