SEARCH FOR DOPE
COUNTY PHYSICIANS OFFICES
ENTERED DURING NIGHT
is THE FIFTH TIME.

Evidently bent on pilfering a few
happy dream" potions, some person
last night entered the offices of DIR.
Duff, county health physician, in the
Lannon-Cook block, Egan avenue and
Fifth street.
That his quarters had been ran
sacked was learned by DR.. Duff, when
he went to his offices this morning.
He found most movable things In the
rooms out of place and that drawers
had been opened. The doctor said
1t was evident that the intruder was
in search of9narcotics. He todd that
SO far as he knsNttgday nothing had
been stolen. Admittance to the place
had been gatn9d by meaps Of a skel-
eton key. It is TIE fifth time in six
months that the offices have been
broken into by persons evidently
searching for dope" the doctor re-
lated.
A man who said that his condition
demanded morphine, last night ap-
piled at the Madison hospital for the
drug. His request was refused.

FOR BETTER ROADS
THAT HIGHWAYS MAY BE I'M
PROVED PART OF MINER
COUNTY MAY BE
DRAINED.

Present indications are that Lake
county will have to keep moving
right along, If 1t hopes to get even
a dead heat" with a neighboring
county this year In the matter of road
improvements.
C. A. Trimmer. civil engineer, and
his men yesterday completed a sur
vey, preliminary to preparing esti-
mates of the cost of draining a por-
ton of Howard township, Miner
county. The draining, If done, will
be for the betterment of highways
running through the township. Sew
eral farmers are directly interested
in the scheme, and it is probable that
the drainage ditch will be a county
project.
The ditch would be a little less
than a mile in length and would run
a couple of miles or so south of the
village of Howard. Mr.. Trimmer said
that his report on the practicability
of the plan and the amount of money
that would be required to complete
the work will be prepared shortly.

SCAB in SMALL GRAIN
SPRAY THE SEED AND ROTATE
THE CROPS.
tBy L. G.. Atherton.)

tBy l.. G.. AthertOn.)
Numerous requests have been re-
ceived relative to the use of "scabby'
barley and wheat for seed. The scab
disease was very prevalent last year.
On barley it caused the Kernels to
turn brown and ripen p~rematurely.
These. kernels are very common in
all barley which matured at the or
binary season for the grain. Some
later barley was not affected. Any
affected kernels are almost black at
the base where they were attached 10
the head. The very wet season of
last year was especially favorable to
the development of the disease. If
the coming season should be quite
dry, we will have practically no scab
injury no doubt. On the other hand
if the coming season should be wet
as last year it is not improbable that
scab will be abundant unless means
are used to prevent it.
No measures are positively known
to be entirely effective in its proven
ton, but the following suggestions
will prove valuable:
/. Treat all infected grain used
for seed with formaldehyde as for
smut. zone pint of formaldehyde to
35 gallons of water is an effective
seed spray. Wet the grain well by
sprinkling or spraying and over to
hold gas.)
2. Rotate crops. Do not sow bar
ley or wheat on land that produced
"scabby" barley or wheat. Use the
"scabby" fields for corn, potatoes or
oats.
1t is entirely possible that the dis
ease will not appear again in the
course of several years, and the above
suggestions are made only with the
idea of preventing a possible crop
loss which we wish very much to
avoid.

DELINQUENT TAXES
FINAL DAY FOR FIRST INSTALL
MENT-LIST HEAVIEST In
HISTORY OF COUNTY.

Just what proportion of the more
than 800, 600 due the county, as the
first installment of taxes for the year
1916, has been paid into the office of
County Treasurer Ed Hyland will be
known as soon as the tr~easurer's
books are balanced, probably early
next week. Today was the last day
Of grace for the payment of the first
installment of taxes. A penalty of i
per cent per month is imposed for all
delinquent taxes.
During the last three weeks, the
treasurer and his deputy have been
working overtime to accommodate
taxpayers. Although the rush in the
office vas considerably heavier than
in former years, partially owing to
the fact that automobile owners this
year, for the first time, applied for
dozens of new motor car licenses dur
ing the month of March, no addition
al assistance was had in the office.
The property tax lists this year
were also larger than formerly, and
1t is expected they will be greater a
year from now than they were this
spring. Mr.. Hyland pointed out that
more money is constantly required to
finance the various townships.
1t is explained that where $50 vas
the average salary paid teachers of
rural schools three or four years ago.
country instructors now draw about
S65 a month. More money is also
required than formerly for road i'm
proYements.

Francis Odell, the young son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. +. Fl. Odell, today was
~adjudged insane by the county insan-
ity commission. The boy, who was a
pupil in the public schools and a
bright scholar, first gave evidence of
mental trouble a few nights. ago,
when he reported that he could not
sleep. Later his actions led TO the
belief that he was insane. He will
be sent to the asylum at Yankton.
An older brother, George Odell, was
SEN to Yankton a little more than a
year ago.
A. G.. Schmidt, secretary of the
Lake County Agricultural society,
returned today from Huron, where
representatives of a large number of
county fair associations in South Da-
kota, met with a view to forming a
state fair circuit. Mr.. Schmidt said
it is probable that all the county or
CARNATIONS will join the proposed
state body. Many of the county as
sociations are now members of other
circuits. 1t was believed by the del
egates at Huron that it is now too
late to rearrange the various fair
dates. Mr.. Schmidt said there are
more than thirty county associations
in the state.

THE BIRTH OF A NATION.

To the Editor: 1t may be consid-
cred the limit of egotism for anyone
to criticise the above named play
after its apparent endorsement by so
many of the good people who have
flocked to Sioux Falls to view this
misnamed film. That it is a won
derful production there is no ques-
ton, but like the gilded saloon, or
the palatial brothel it is all the more
pernicious and misleading because
concealed by it's gaudy trappings.
That this vilification of the north,
this insult to the old soldier, this per-
version of history, this effort to make
treason respectable and midnight
assassins patriots and that this
should all be received as gospel truth
by our preachers, our teachers and
worst of all that 1t should be put be-
fore our school children as historic
truth, is a disgrace to the people of
South Dakota and a stigma on our
intelligence. The animus of the
whole thing is to discredit the north
and glorify the south. 1t is in line
with the bill now before congress to
pay the old confederate soldier $500
bounty and $50 per month during
life. 1t would put a monument to
Jeff Davis in the capitol at Washing
ton and 1t has already put up a mon
ument to that brute Writ. of An
Jacksonville prison. Instead of the
birth of a nation" 1t is a bitter wall
at the death of negro slavery and a
most cunning scheme to hoodwink
the rising generation, that they may
not see the venom of the rebellion.
If you for a minute think the "Ku
Klux Khan were model citizens en-
gagged in c~ommendable home mission
work, read the following from MI.
Burton, In the National Tribune:
The films showed a wonderful ex-
hibition of might riders" or THE Ku
Klux Klan," and the text represented
them to be brave men trying to ave
southern civilization.
The only Isl of a demonstration
of these night riders in their cos
tunes that I knew of in a residence
of seven years among them, was at
Eutaw. Ala, near where l lived.
Five or six colored men had been
killed for attending a republican
convention. Three of the bodies had
been found In an abandoned well.
Alexander Boyd, the county solicitor
or states attorney, as we call them,
had secured some evidence against
the murderers and said he would try
to enforce the law.
ITO prevent this there was a gath
ering of the Khan to the number of
sixty, who, with their horses, were
disguised with white sheets. At mid
night they surrounded the hotel
where Boyd boarded. Thirty were
placed on guard against imaginary
foes outside the hotel. Thirty went
inside and fifteen went to Mr.. Boyd's
room, forced open the door and shot
him in bed, each or the fifteen put
ting a bullet through his body. This
Is a sample Of the brave work of
the brave Ku Klux Khan" to shield
some of their murderous members
and to preserve southern civiliza-
ton"
mr.. Boyd was born and brought
up In Eutaw. had been a major In
the confederate army, had married
the daughter Of a wealthy. planter In
Eutaw, was a successful lawyer and
highly respected IN the community.

X. w. Dickinson, known Among

Sioux Falls, March 31.-R. w.
Dickinson, known nationally among
theatrical people and travellers as
Daddy Dick" died late tonight at
his home here. For many years he
kept a unique restaurant here. which
was frequented by show people, and
many famous actors and actresses
were among his intimate friends. He
was at n time a member of the
board of city commissioners.
Mr.. Dickinson had not worn a hat
for a quarter of a century, and he af-
fected the dress of the Siberian pea
SAINT. He was a student of mystic
cults and a worshipper of the sun.
His quaint costume, flowing white
hair and unusual ideas attracted
strangers who visited his restaurant
and they sought his acquaintance.
He came to Sioux Falls from England
thirty years ago as a baker.

Northwestern National Life News

This company made large gains in all lines in 1916. New
business thus far in 1916 shows a gain of at least so per cent
over the same period of 1915. Death losses in 1916 we're less
than for any year of the past ten, while the amount of dvi-
dends apportioned to be paid to poieyholders was increased
-a 27 per cent over the previous year. No changes were made
in the directorate or official staff of the company.
The company operates in eighteen western states only,
having voluntarily confined its field of operation to the health
lest and most productive and progressive section of the United
States. Northwestern National Life was the first company to
pay its share of the loss sustained by the death Of Thomas
Shevlin. Its check for 100000 was delivered to the Shevlin
Company beneficiary on the day of the funeral.
1t now has in force in South Dakota over 50, 500, 900 of
insurance, and a large amount of this is carried by people of
Madison and Lake County. New business written in the State
in 1915 amounted to a little more than S., 900.
Above are some of the REASONS WHY you should place
your insurance with this good company. 1t is now numbered
amongst the TEN LEADING LOW NET COST companies of
the United States. Premiums run considerably lower than
most of the large companies, with present dividends compar-
ing most favorably, and steady increase each year unexceled.
