WHAT WITTEN SAYS. About 200 Claims in First and 600 In Second Class , He Says. Omaha , Nov. l.- Persons who drew lumbers in the recent land opening in Bennett and Mellette counties , South Dakota , need not be alarmed over the reports that the state of South Dakota Is to have all of the 'irst class land for schools , according ; o a statement by Judge James W. Witten , superintendent of the land opening , who passed through Omaha on his way back to Washington. "The state Is entitled to sections 1G and 30 in each township , and there are about thirty townships , which gives the state about sixty sections of land , scattered throughout the thirty townships opened , without regard to the quality of the land. The only power of choice possessed by the i state Is In cases where parts of sec tlons 1C or 3G In a township have been alloted to Indians , In which case the state may select , In other parts of the same township , nn area equal to that so allotted to Indians in the state's two sections of the township There Is comparatively little land ir the state's townships allotted to In dlans. I do not know just what per cent , but it is very small and the facl that the deficiency in the state's sec tions must bo supplied from the sam < township in each case makes it 1m possible for the state to concentrat < on the best land of the opening. "Thero are about ICO to 200 clalmi of the best class , and about GOO In tin second class. I should say there an about 1,200 or more worth filing on There were over 63,000 registrations.1 Judge Witten declared that the fac was published in advance and sen out with all circulars and other ir formation that there would bo certal reservations and withdrawals whic would reduce the area to be opened somewhat from the figures given In advance. The extent to which the area would bo reduced could not bo foretold , he said. JOKES OF HALLOWE'EN. The Night Resulted In a Number of Them at Nellgh. Nellgh , Neb. , Nov. 4. Special to The News : On account of the extra precautions taken by the city officials in supplying special police In automo biles on the night of Hallowo'en , very little damage was done to property , and aside from giving the windows on the business streets a thorough soapIng - Ing , It was probably the most quiet night experienced In Nellgh for sev eral years. There were some good jokes played , however , that wore Intended to have been kept from the nubile , but these leaked out and tlio laugh has been on those Interested. All the public buildIngs - Ings had special watchmen , and Ed. Getcholl was assigned the job to see that no damage was attempted at the Second ward school building. During the course of the evening a crowd of young men concluded to visit Mr. ( lotchell , who received them cordially , entertaining them with stories , and the boys In turn rendered several se lections from the Gospel hymns. Dur ing the song service one of the young men drew away from the crowd and called up the police , stating that the watchman had been bound and gagged and that a rough house was In prog ress. Chief of Police Nichols and Night Officer Jackson made the hurry call In an automobile , and upon arrlv- ing at tlie school building and being admitted found Mr. Gctchcll surround ed by the boys and all singing : "God Be Witli You Till Wo Meet Again. " It goes without saying that the officers departed without making any arrest. One of the same crowd telephoned George Fletcher , county treasurer , that his son Harold had been arrested and was in jail. Mr. Fletcher told the Informant that If his boy did some thing that caused him to bo placed in jail he considered it proper and just. It was the plan of tlio boys to got Mr. Fletcher to walk down town , but this failed. They were more successful in tlio next attempt. The telephone at the residence of William Wolfe started ringing furi ously , and the head of the household answered. The person at the other end of the line informed Mr. Wolfe that ho was Wellington McConnell , ! and stated that his son Alexander was In Jail. Although Mr. Wolfe had been confined to his home for a couple of days on account of sickness , he im mediately prepared to get down town to tbo business district as soon as possible and ascertain the cause why his son should be held In the county I bastlle. The first person he met on his way down town was McConuell , I who stated that Mr. Wolfe was so , badly rattled that he could with dlf- I flculty make clear his statements , and i all of his remarks were a complete puzzle to "Mack. " The joke was soon I discovered , and the drfy following the I cigars were passed by the one recelv- . Ing the telephone message. CREIGHTON VS.

West Point , Neb. , Nov. 4. Special to The News : The political pot In Cuming county is boiling merrily. In county affairs the chances for elec tion of Milt. Knight , republican , as , sheriff are considered good. For treasurer , Herman Zeplin , republican , I vfho is the present incumbent , ' lias a practical walkaway , his demo cratic opponent being comparatively unknown and being further handicap ped by the fact of his being a saloon keeper. Mr. Zcplin's past term has demonstrated his excellent qualities as a custodian of the public funds , and in the opinion of nearly every body entitle him to another term. Miss Emma R. Miller , present county su perintendent , republican , will run un opposed for her second term. County Judge Louis Dewald , democratic , will also hold Ills office again , his peculiar - liar fitness for the position he has . held so worthily for the past three terms having been fully demonstrated to the people of Cuming county who have eliminated party lines and unit- i'ed ' upon him as the man for the place. ' , The judge has established a very en- viable record In his administration of * the affairs of decedents coming before . him , in that he has always conducted ! those matters with a minimum of cost i to tbo parties interested. His policy in the general conduct of his office has been to discourse fictitious litiga tlon and in this he has been eminent ly successful. In view of the fact that the estates now and In the neat future coming before him are verj largo and the citizens regard these qualities as a valuable asset and pro pose to retain the judge in office as long as he can be induced to serve them. For county clerk , W. H. Har stick , democratic , Is opposed by C. C Malchow , republican. The office o clerk of the district court will be con tested-for by Carl C. Kramer , republl can and Otto II , Zacek , democratic Mr. Zacek appears to have the Insld track , Kramer being comparative ! ; unknown to the voters , while Mi Z&cek ia a native son of Cumin county , representing the younger an more rlrlle and progressive elemen - v t - * of citizenship and Is besides , a man' ' of very high Intellectual attainments. For congress , It Is confidently expect ed and believed that James C. Elliott , republican , will carry the county. Ills long residence here , his high char acter and his personal popularity com- blno to Insure a largo complimentary vote , sufficiently largo , It Is hoped , to overcome the normal majority of 400 In the county. The tendency of the times Is moro and moro apparent to break away from party lines and to support the man , in local affairs , most capable of fulfilling the duties of tlio office with honor and profit to his constituents.
