THE LANDS ARE CHOICE.
i The State Will Not Take Any Parti-
I cular Class of School Sections.
I Burke , S. D. , Oct. 14. Special to
.The News : A visitor to the Rosebud
' country at tills time would perhaps be
surprised to learn that none of the
present furore in the newspapers regarding -
' garding the question as to whether
or not those who recently registered
for homesteads in Bennett and Mel-
lette counties were up against a brace
game without a show to win , lias
penetrated to the country under dis
cussion. Those who are her and
know the conditions are not worrying
' at all as to the fitness of Mellcttc
' county for a white man's country , nor
doubting al all that all of the available -
; able land will bo filed upon next
cussion. Those who are hero and
atives In the east who were lucky
enough to draw numbers arc urging
them to get ready to come and make
entry and not get frightened over the
reports in the newspapers.
i The ruction started soon after the
'
drawing when the disclosure was
1 made that the state would select
forty-one sections a. indemnity school
land before the settlers had a
' chance to make their selections.
While this Ftntoment was perfectly
true , and the state will do that very
thing , there is nothing In that fact
which should cause undue excitement
or discouragement to any of the pros
pective homesteaders. It lias been
assumed by some newspaper corre-
1 spondents that the state would go in
'
nnd select all of ( lie best ns school
land , thus leaving none of the real
cream of the country tor the settlers ,
!
There is no occasion for argument
, over this phase of the discussion. The
. law and the president's proclamation
, very plainly state that the state can
, not take more than two sections as
I indemnity land in any one township
j Thus it Is apparent and indisputable
i thai Ihe state will be compelled te
j take some of the rougher lands am
i not rob the sotllers of all of the best
i j But no less ridiculous are some o
i the statements made on the othei
side of the argument. For Instance
i , the last Issue of the Western Laborer
'published ' by F. A. Kennedy In Oma
1m , contained an article on the sub
ject al issue , in which Mr. Kenned ;
said "We believe Hie state authorl
lies will selecl Ihe 25-cenl land fo
school secllons , ralher Ihan disai :
polnl Ihoso thousands of people win
trustingly accepted the state's invltn
lion to come and draw. " Mr. Ken
nedy filed and made final proof on :
homestead in Trlpp county , durin
which time he fell in love with th
country and its people and has eve
since thai lime been a booster , a
which ho Is held In high esteem b
the people of the Rosebud. It is ev
dent , however , that Mr. Kennedy'
enthusiasm has tills time got the be
tor of his judgment and sense of ai
d j curacy. In the first place , the stat
of South Dakota had nothing to d
with the registration , and If any li
vitalions were Issued they were i
sued by Uncle Sam and not by Sout
Dakota. Furthermore , the state eli
partmenl of public lands nnd bulh
ings is not a benevolent institutloi
doesn't care a hoot about the wo
fare of Melletlo county soltlors , an
is not weeping any weeps over the
alleged wrongs. One of the chi <
functions of the department is to s
cure the best lands possible for tli
benefit of the permanent school fum
nnd It is conscienciously at work o
the job all the time without regard t
the feelings of others who may bo ii
terested. Mr. Kennedy may make u
his mind thai Ihoso who select tl :
lands for the state will select tl :
very best lands available In Mellett
county. The only reason they wl
not select all of It from the very bei
In the county Is because of the legi
restrlcllons noted above , and not b
cause of any anxiety regarding tl
r i welfare of the future settlers. Owlr
ic to the fact that the best of the lam
° - \ In Melletto county are located i
'o ' , largo bodies covering only a fe
' townships , it will bo readily undo
t- stood that the state will bo oblige
it to go into some of the less deslrab
townships to select the greater part
of Its lands , as only two sections can
bo lawfully selected In each township
as Indemnity lands. So the state will
have to take Its share of the poorer
lands as well as Iho settlers. The
feiollshncss of the claim that there
will bo nothing left for the settlers
when the state gets through selecting
Is shown by the fact that while the
state Is entitled to only forty-one sec
tions of Indemnity land , there are
about 470 sections of unallotted lands
from which to make the selections
under the restrictions above noted ,
I 1 which will leave about 430 sections ,
1,700 quarter-section farms for the
new settlers.

Col , Elliott's Acknowledgment.
West Point Republican : The elec
tion Is over. My congressional fight
was made and lost with honor. It
now remains to render suitable ac
knowledgment. Conventional phras
es at times when one Is overwhelmed
with a sense of the loyal and unself
ish service of friends are , Indeed ,
poor vehicles of expressions and can
not convey the promptings of the
heart. And , BO , with a simple expres
sion of gratitude to the party , the
committee nnd to friends , Irrespec
tive of political affiliations , for aid
given and kindness shown I close
the case until It shall bo reopened to
repay a title of Its heavy obligation.
To the members of the art presova-
live craft , who rendered such effi
cient aid , my profound gratitude Is
hereby expressed. Their kind words
will forever bo held In the most grate
ful remembrance.
Respectfully ,
James C. Elliott.

GIRL HAD THE MONEY.
Amelia Mueller Produced S110 With
i Which to Settle Blatt Matter.
That Clarence Illatt , the young man
arrested on suspicion of robbing the
trunk of W. J. Molllns of $135 in the
Carl Otto boarding house , really con
fessed to the theft , is the report of
Constable A. W. Finkhouse , who de
clares that he was able to secure part
of the money when Blatt had made it
known that he would make some kind
of a settlement after he had spoken
to Miss Amelia Mueller , a girl friend.
The constable had been employed by
Molllns to secure the money from
Blatt if possible. Molllns suspected
Illatt and the constable discovered
that the young man had secured a
large number of trunk keys from his
employer to "open his trunk , " the
key of which ho said had been lost.
With this clew in his possession ,
the constable found it possible to
have Blatt arrested and a conference
.during which Blatt mentioned the
name of Miss Amelia Mueller caused
the constable to visit the August
Mueller homo. 502 South Sixtli street ,
where lie found the girl. To her the
constable declared that Blatt was in
jail and that if she did not return
the $15 ! ! lie would go to the peniten
tial y. The girl immediately brought
forth $110 , explaining that Blatt had
lecelved this amount from South Da
kota friends. The constable refused
the money and advised the girl to
take it to Blalt at the city jail to
enable him to make a settlement with
Mollins. When the constable return
ed to the jail he found the girl In
conference with Illatt and afterward
Blntt also declared he had received
the money by mail from South Dako
ta. The letter which was enclosed
with the money , ho declared , was
thrown away by him , but the girl
declared il had been burned up.
' When being questioned by an at
i torney , Blatt suddenly called Molliiu
. into the city council chamber where
i he declared , in .the presence of the
- constable , that he had found liimsell
at a point where lie "had to have the
- money , " and then , giving Mollins the
$110 which the girl had brought te.
- him , he signed a note for the remain
, ing $25 of the stolen money.

She Tells Them to Eat Candy.
Comparing Norfolk high schoo
students with 144 locomotive engine :
Mrs. Harriet McMurphy , state fooc
and drug Inspector , In nn address litho
the high school auditorium Monda ;
afternoon told her audience that th <
best food Is the foundation of th (
best and strongest brains. Norfolk
she- declared , was up-to-date In a general
oral way , but was behind the tlmei
In nol having domestic science am
normal training In the schools. Slu
recommended thai Norfolk have botl
In another year , even If It bo In r
small way.
"You will never regret It. " she
said. "With the proper study these
Ml human engines can bout any au
tomobile or engine made. "
According to Mrs. MoMurphy , our
schools have begun on the wrong end
of education. Reading , writing and
arithmetic Is all very well , she said ,
for a foundation , hut them In nothing
In our sclmol cemrses which toncliea
us about the human body , how to
feed and make It efficient. Mrs. Me-
Murphy dwelt at some length on the
subject of foods , the proper methods
In the care of the body after It has
been built up.
"Tho human body Is only a ma
chine which is self repairing , " HIO !
said , "providing the mind eleiott Ita
part. " In the universities and the
higher girl schools this study Is be
coming more and morn popular an
the very best course pemslblo for the
battle of life ) .
Mrs. McMurphy upheld Dr. Wiley
who , she quotes us saying that tht >
country which uses the most soap ,
most sugar and treats women best ,
Is the best country.
She recommends the eating of emu-
dy In the right way. Sugar , she said.
Is condensed energy and Its proper
use pmdueoH maximum energy and
minimizes the bulk. The United
States , said Mrs. McMurphy , lias most
of tlie'so requirements and If wo have
energy wo must direct the useful
eating of candy.
Mrs. McMurphy declared that she ,
herself , was n physical wreck until
she learned the proper care of her
body.
Whisky Tablets to Bo Taxed.
New York , Nov. 15. Whisky In
solid form , which , It Is supposed , will
enable a man to "eat" a stimulant ,
and truthfully swear to his wife that
ho had not been "drinking , " is the
latest revelation presented to Com
missioner Caboll , of ( lie International
revenue bureau , lie has been called
j upon to decide whether or not "solid
whisky" is taxable for federal revenue -
, nuo purposes. This now substance )
comes from the prohibition stale of
Kansas , and its Inventor claims that
it does not fall within the Internal
revenue tax laws. It Is also declared
i that whisky , brandy , beer , and other
{ alcoholic'beverages can bo solidified.

tax , and the dealer In it to a whole-
(
Kale or retail liquor tax.
