After tho filing of tbo claims with the

h... ni fnrth ihernln. nnd declaring thcrcyc" In Table ltock the past week In thu

has been earnestly urged and with great

to a tax purchaser that he shall not lose
his money nnd many decisions have been
cited to support this proposition. It Is
enough to say that In every caso cited tho
tax In question was not a special assess

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Sept. 22. (Special.)
Sovoral days ago a smooth Individual who
gave his name as Prof. Snow arrived In
Sioux Falls and at once made liberal use
of printer's Ink to announce the crfmlng
of the "world's greatest clairvoyant, psycho-
palmist nnd healer. He has now disap
peared as quietly as he came nnd thero
are many who mourn his departure.
Ho
raked In the dollars at a rapid rate during
his stay In the city, but It would appear
from developments slnco bis disappearance
that he was not satisfied with his usual
profession, but resorted to other methods of
obtaining quick wealth, Ho Is said to have
relieved a number of suscoptlblo citizens
of good-sized rolls ot money.
Ono woman In pnrtlcular who called, upon
the alleged professor for Information has
reason to regret having done so. The pro
fessor ascertained that his caller had a
considerable amount of money with her
1176 and asked that It be given to him for
a few moments so that he could "magno-
tlzo ' It. The money was handed to him.
It Is Kald that bo stepped Into nn adjoin

In the meantime tho professor and his
assistant had left the city for parts un

.Mil it lie Mot.
Somo months ngo the city council ac
cepted tho proposition of Andrew Carneglo
for the erection 'of n public library here.
The formal acceptance of the gift Is all
that has been done as no effort has been
mado to comply with any of the provisions
of the gift. Mombers of tho local llbrarv
board are urging tho council to submit a
bond proposition nt tbo fall election In
order that a site may bo secured. It Is
thought that fJ.OOO will purchase a desirable
site. There was como talk ot ono tlmo
of trying to raise this amount by poputar
subscription, but the Idea was nbandonod
on account of the feeling In regard to
the location of tho building. Some seemed
to think that as the postofflco was In the
old First ward the library should be built
south of N street. On account of tho differ
ence of opinion the popular subscription
plnn was abandoned. Now what Is wanted
Is for the council to submit a proposition
to vote bond? for tho purchase of a site In
order to get a start. When the site Is se
cured It will bo an easy matter for the cltv
to make nn appropriation of $5,000 a year
for the maintenance of tho library. Whojj
tho appropriation was mado out this year
$5,000 for n library was Included, but owing
to tho fact that no site had been secured
It was deemed ndvlsablo to potpono the
making of a levy for this purpose until
tl.ero was somo show of a building being
erected.
It Is stated now that If bonds for a slto
aro submitted the proposition will carrv
although thero will of course be nn In
teresting contest over the location of n
site.

vlll be required to loy tho hoivy rails

As all of tho old rails have been hauled

Mnnagcrs of tho packing plants say that
tho meat business Just now is active and
that there is a demand for nil of the beef
slaughtered here. Thero Is an unusual
demand for native cattle, but as the re
ceipts of this grade of stuff Is light It Is
hnrd to meet the demand. As to prices tho
pnekers appear to think that they will re
main nbout the samo throughout the win

poultry. Shipments of prime beef to Eng
