Now Being Heard Before Commission er Wallace At Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls , S. D. , Oct. 4. Testl mony in the famous Sully case Is nov by being heard before United States Com nine mlssioner Wallace of Aberdeen in tin federal court room In Sioux Falls. ' Mrs. Mary Sully , widow of the fa- moiiB Jack Sully , the notorious cattle rustler , was put on the stand and gave her testimony through an Inter preter. Little could bo obtained from her. From all appearances she pos sesses a wonderful "forgettor. " The case Is on her part an effort to sccuro a permanent Injunction against the United States government from allotting fifty-six quaiter sections of land In the Rosebud Indian reserva tion , which she claims she owns. Mrs. Sully is an Indian , and appar ently n full blood. Before marrying Sully In the early eighties , she was the wife of Jack Klncald. When shown papers with her murk In lieu of a signature , she was unable to remember ever signing the papers and did not recognize her own "mark. " United States District Attorney E. E. Wagner Is appearing for the gov ernment , and Mrs. Sully Is represent ed by Attorneys Klrby and Jeffries. A number of Indians were In court listening to the evidence. They are nil relatives of Mrs. Sully and have an Interest In the case. The Sully injunction has been in the courts some time. It possesses many complications that will have to be unraveled before settlement can be accomplished. First Football Game Here. The first game of football In Nor folk was a victory for the Norfolk pick up team consisting of n majority of the second team of the high school eleven , and the seventh and eighth grades team of the Madison schools. The score was 21 to 0 In favor of the Noifolk team. The Madison youngsters say al though they were stronger than Nor folk they lacked practice and- team work In which Norfolk seemed to have the better of It. The feature of the game was the line smashes of Emery whose fast work netted Norfolk 15 points. Lucas also featured In a fake punt making the score 20. The other ucore was made on a goal kick. An other match between these two teams Is expected In the near future. The llnc-up : Norfolk. Position.

In the Ideal foot ball game of the season on the Ne braska field the Cornhusker eleven was held to a tie score 6 to G ne ny South Dakota , and the verdict of the f.rowd was that the local gridiron contingent it. tingent was lucky to escape a defeat. The showing made by the Nebraska men was a distinct disappointment but the coaches Insist there is mater ial in the squad , and they will Improve. The South Dakota line was a trifle heavier , lint for the entire team the weight was not far different. For - the first fifteen minutes , during which the visitors scored their touchdown the Nebraskans at times were played off their feet. They braced In the - second half and for a time assumed , the offensive , but showed signs of . weakening as time was called. Saturday's Football Scores. At Yankton , S. D.

Most Bemitiful Illumination Planned For Hudson-Fulton Pncjonnt SeMvlillghtH v\lth an aggregate oft 'AOOO.OOO.OOO candle power lll Illumi nate the Hudson river nlghtl.x for miles during the Hudson-Fulton rvh- bratlou at New York city. Tlins who. have planned this display assert that It will he the most beautiful lighting effect In the history of the world. Tlu-ru will be a battery of forty powerful searchlights , which will occupy nioro than n block on the viaduct or exten sion of Riverside drive tit One Hundred and Fifty-third street , overlooking the Hudson river. They will be placed ll-'O feet above the river , and their beam.- * will lie cast miles up anil down that stream , making it practically as light as day wherever the rays are concen trated. Even Fort Washington point- will not be potmlttod to Interfere wltfn the Illumination of the upper stretcho * of the Hudson. Tin1 buttery of si-arcli- IK'ht * will be plated -so lil h they win throw their streams clear over Wash ington point. Nor Is It the purpose to confine tin * 2,000.000,000 candle power of light : merely to the inn king of white light for the Illumination of the river Color effects unrivaled In the history of celo- bratloiis have been planned by W. IVA. Ryan , an Illuminating engineer In Sclw- ncctady. Hugo disks , divided into HCC- tlons of colored gelatin screen * , will be placed In front of the lights. Fully 100 feet beyond them there will Im steam pipes which will send out lu > niense plumes of steam. The steam itself would be insufficient to form n curtain on which the lights might play. Therefore , to give body to It , im mense quantities of black powder will be burned at the base of the buttery of steam pipes , and its smoke and the smoke from exploding bombs will b < > permitted to mix with the steam. .That will make a mammoth curtain on 'which the color effect will play justaa thougli It were a real curtain and noC one formed of smoke and vapor. Tin * plans call for such n smoke and vapoi- curtaln 100 feet high and combinations. of colors and tints which will outclass anything of Hie sort ever attempted. So man- screens of colored gelatin will be available that there will be- practically no end to the effects whlcU. may be produced. They will be vf ! ' Ible mllcf n way. CLAIMS RIGHT TO SKIRTS.
