You reckless men and women who

BOYS MAKING GOOD
OFFICERS AND MEN OF FIRST
SOUTH DAKOTA CAVALRY
HIGHLY COMPLI-
MENTED.

Washington, ID. c., Nov 5.-Spe-
cial: In writing to Senator Sterling
explaining the necessity for merging
the First South Dakota cavalary in
to the Depot brigade, Brig. Gen. #.
G. Mauldin, in command of the 34th
division of the national army, states:
Every care will be taken to pre-
serve, so far as possible, the integrity
of company and battalion formations,
for the war department recognizes
the fact, to which you SO well call at
tention. that the fighting efficiency
of men is best conserved by keeping
original units together"
He also takes occasion to compli-
ment the members of the regiment in
the following terms: "All its Off
GERS and men have displayed a fine
spirit throughout the work of reor-
ganizing the division and recognized
the emergency by complying with the
plans of the war department. The
officers and men of the First South
Dakota cavalry are worthy represent
atives of their state, and should they
be called on for service on the other
side will amply support the traditions
of their home state.

BAKER HEIRS CLAIM
ASK DECISION OF TESTATOR'S
INTENT-INNOLNE CASE
BEFORE COURT.

Heirs of the VIM. j. Baker estate
are suing in district court today their
estate in land in which the widow,
but who sold and conveyed the prop
.erty to others during her life, as the
basis for the claim. The will to Mrs.
Baker was heard this morning, and
its terms seem indefinite as to the
duration of her estate.
Judge l.. l.. Fleeger and Miss Co
bel arrived this morning from Park
ston, and court convened in the de
ferred session early The case,
brought in five parts, was called, it
being the business of the court at this
time. Many witnesses and principals
were present, and the public is giving
some attention to the interesting
facts involved.
VIM. j. Baker acquired the land by
homestead. tree claim and preemp-
ton in 1878, during which year he
moved with his family and took resi-
dence at the lake. After many years
he died, leaving a will which was
thought at the time to vest the prop
erty in the widow. There were pro-
bate proceedings to confirm the own
ership, but at this time there seems
TO be irregularities, and many of the
instruments and entries in books of
record are incomplete or wholly lack
ing. Mrs. Baker later disposed of
the property to various owners, and
many transfers have since been made
from holder to holder. Those hold
ing the property now are the Chau-
tauqua association, the Kennedy es-
tate, f. A. Buechel, H. p. Smith and
Mrs. Ann Johnson.
Mrs. Baker died about year ago.
In probating her estate papers were
brought to light which would indi-
cate that there was still rights i'm the
property about the lake. The matter
was followed and it was decided that
there was a good case to show that
her ownership was but one for life,
and that she had no right TO transfer
the property to others. 1t depends
on the construction of the will. Evi-
dence is being introduced today to
assist the court in arriving at a
proper understanding of the inten-
tion of the last actual owner, VIM.
j. Baker. in the disposition of the
property An attempt was made to
show that the husband had small
! faith in the business and administra-
tive ability of his wife. but the court
ordered the evidence stricken out.

PENSION ADVANCE
WIDOWS OF VETERANS GET BET
TER SUPPORT-TWO
CLASSES.

Many widows of veterans of the
civil war We're surprised at the time
for the arrival of the vouchers for
their last quarters pensions to find
that they were getting s25 month
instead of S12. as they had been re-
ceiving heretofore. This was accord
ing to late authorization of con-
gress, and except for announcements
in city dailies. was unheralded.
Under the old act, widows of vet
Grams, who were wives of the soldiers
at the time of the war received $25 a
month of pension. Those who mar
ried soldiers after their discharge
and were left widows were receiving
but s12 a month. 1t is this latter
class which was made glad by the re-
ceipt of a larger support.

ARMY OF engineers
LOCAL MAN TO JOIN THE ARMY
To BUILD FRENCH ROADS
AND BRIDGES.

In response to his application for
entrance, Chas. A. Trimmer received
this morning advice that he would be
accepted into the special regiment of
engineers now forming for road and
bridge work in France, and furnish
ed him with a card of introduction to
any recruiting officer. Mr. Trimmer
said this morning that as soon as he
could finish the work just now being
completed he would make his appear
ance and enlist.
This regiment is a special division
of engineers, raised for the purpose
of building and repairing roads and
bridges in France, and when COM
pleted is to number 500. Its COM
mander is Col. +. n. Johnson, grad
uate of West Point military academy.
Besides the engineers themselves
there will be nearly every trade rep
resented in the corps. 1t is known
as the 23d Engineering corps of the
national army. The men will bear
arms. and be prepared to fight along
with the infantry on occasion, but
their business will be engineering on
the field and behind the lines.
When asked this morning if he
really intended to enlist, Mr.. Trin-
mer said that he would not have
made application If he had not in
tended to enter the service. 1t will
be two weeks or more before he can
arrange to leave the work he now has
to straighten out. But on the COM
pletion of that work he will enlist,

GENE is ALL right
FROM CHARGE OF
HAZING AT WEST POINT.

Some weeks ago press dispatches
made reference to a hazing escapade
by certain West Point cadets in
which the name of Gene Vidal, of
this city. appeared. 1t is true that
the hazing occurred and that half
dozen or more cadets, including Gene
Vidal, were courtmartialed for the
alleged offense. Felix Vidal, father
of Gene, is in receipt of report from
the school to the effect that while
his son was accused and courtmar-
tailed. he was completely exonerated
by the findings, it having been prov
en- that he was in no way concerned
in the eseapade.

The impression seems to have gone
abroad that the knitting for the sol
diers will end November Is, or as
soon as Lake county's quota OF $50
sets of knitted articles is completed.
This. presumably, because of the fact
that finished articles were asked for
by that date. The fact is, the knit
ting will go all winter and as long as
the boys in France need to be kept
warm. We do not make this as an
appeal-the women OF Madison and

At the high school auditorium last
night an address delivered by Geo.
w. Miller. general state secretary OF
the Sunday schools of the state. to q
fair audience, was of special interest
to the worldly as well as to the more
religiously inclined. The subject was
Democracy in the Sunday School.
The treatment was forceful and in
teresting. Like all great reforms the
speaker called attention TO the fact
that they were brought about by the
common people, and instanced the
leadership of Moses. Christ, the adop'
tion of Magma Charta, the revolution
in American-all of which were
brought about by the common peo
pie The Sunday school movement
was started in England a number O
years ago-by common people. And
for the most part ii is kept goinf
until now by the same class. The
address was surcharged with patriot
ism, and reference was constantly
made to the United States flag.
