DRADWOOU, S. D., Aug. 18. (Special
Telefrrnm.i Tho body of a youth, supposed
to ho one of the Shepherd boys, who mys
teriously disappeared five weeks ago from
their homo near liumn, was found this
morning nt ft o'clock In the garden of an
old miner named V. II. Ward.
Something over a month ago there were
rumors nllont that Ward had made away
with I. co and Klrlt Shcphard and several
ecarehlng parties went through the old
man's house rind premises without finding
ny trace of them. There wero three Shep
hard brothers, the third, Hnrley. heing a
special favorite of the old ninn. lie had
licen promised several thousand dollars
by Ward when he became of age.
Ward Is bollrvH to have been demented
at times nnd, n.ivtng taken a dislike to
tho two brothers, Loo and Kirk, 'o havo
made away with them.
Th putrid body that ws found today
Is supposed to be that of Kirk. The corpse
was found two feet helow the surfaeo of tho
ground, burled In a suit of underclothes,
It was found by men who had been probing
the garden for n month with Iron bars.
Tho garden covers about on acre nf ground
nnd every Inrh Is now being turned over
In thh rxpirtallon of finding the body of
tho second brother, who has not beer, seen
for a month.
When tho first searching party wont to
Ward's house he asked the men what they
wanted. He was told that the two Shep
hnrd boys were missing and that there
w.is a suspicion that they wero nround his
cab'n. Word offered to help the men
search and started toward the creek for
that purpose. Ho soon returned to his
cabin with the excuse that ho must water
his ducks. Ho has not been seen slnco.
He Is medium In height, with brown mouH
taeho and eyes, Is pigeon-toed In Jils walk,
Is about 15 years old, pinched face nnd
wns rapid In his talk. A heavy reward
will bo offered Immediately for IiIb cap
ture. Ward Is well known In the northern
Hills, but has always been considered queer
nt times. Ward's brother has been ar
rested nnd placed In Jnll, though ho Is not
believed to have been connected with the
crime. The whnlo country around about
Is excited over tho matter.

GAFFIN REPLIES TO CRITICS
lleolr ClinrKc that III Itn'ordi n
Oil tnpcctor Are In
complete, WA1IOO, Neb., Aug. IS. (Special )-Ilon.
J. N Gaflln, lu reply to the charges road"
against him by tho present Incumbents of
the oil Inspector's olllce, makes this state
ment to the editor of the Herald:
"The charge that the records nro not
complete Is untrue. No predecessor ever
kept u more complete record. Kvery bar
rel of oil or gas Inspected Is on record,
showing the date and place, the name of
the oil or gas, the test made, for whom,
by whom inspected and the fee charged
for tho same. Unless thu rtcords have
been tampered with since I turned them
over to the proper custodians there Is not
a dime collected In fees for oil or gas
by my deputies or myself not reported and
accounted for showing from whom It was
received. Monthly reports and Itemized
expense accounts wero filed with tho audi
tor and annual reports were (lied with tho
governor nnd auditor, as required by law,
and copies sent to tho bond company which
furnished my bond.
"The charge that the deputies traveled
over tho state ou passes nnd charged the
stato mileage Is unqualifiedly false. None
of them had or used pusses.
"Tho charge that fees were nllowcd to
accumulate In large amounts before being
paid Into tho state treasury Is true. There
are months when the shipments of oil Into
tho stnto are light and not enough fees
are rollected to pay salaries nnd expenses
of tho office, hence the law provides In
January of each year that the surplus fees.
If any. for tho preceding yenr shall be paid
Into the state treasury. I compiled with
tho law, turning Into the state trensury
In two years $11,112 nnd some cents, being
more than twice tho amount ever paid Into
the treasury In the same length of time
by any predecessor. A small part of this
Increase was due to nn Increase In the
amount of oil shipped Into the state; the
larger part of the difference, however, wns
due to less expense charged by tho deputies
and myself."

HAVANA. Aug. IS. -Senor Varons has
Issued a circular to the presidents nf
boards of education throughout Cuba re
minding thtm that they should use great
enru In tho selection of teachers and
should not allow the political opinions of
candidates to weigh for or against them.
Recently complaints have boon made that
the appointments of teachers by boards of
education havo not been marked by fair
ness nnd tho Patrln. the Rclldad nnd tha
Nuevos Pas say tho circular Is much
ncsded, although they express the opinion
thnt nothing Is likely to come of It.
"The supporters of Estrada Palma nre
propagating tho Idea," says the Rclldad,
"that he Is tho American government's
enndidnto for the presidency of Cuba and
the only man who will be accepted by the
United States. But there Is no evidence
to support this contention. All the Amer
icans want la a man who accepts tho Piatt
amendment."

Telia nt.
CANTON, ()., Aug. IS. It has been
Farmer McKlnley the last week, when the
president paid a visit to his country resi
dence, twenty milts from this city, and was
the guest of Tenant Jack Adams.
Last March Farmer Adams was the presi
dents guest at the White House during Hi"
Inaugural .eaon. now It was Farmer Jiuk
who was host.
The president had not eaten a meal nt I1I3
farm homo before In seven years ami he says
thnt the dinner furnished him was such
that It made him wish for more like It
"That Is excellent country ham." Is the
way the president sized up the situation as
he enjoyed Tenant Jack's hospitality.
Farmer Adams got out his surrey, bor
rowed another from a neighbor and went lo
Minerva station to await the coming of tho
president nnd party. President McKlnley
was taken to Minerva, which Is nineteen
miles from Canton. In the private cor of
Colonel Myron T. Derrick of Cleveland, a
director of the Wheeling & Lake Erie rail
way. The car was drawn by n special engine
With the president and Colonel Herrlck
were Secretary Cortelyou, Dr. Rlxey nnd
Colonel Derrick's son. The stnrt was made
from hero at H:30 and the run was quick
The drive over the country road was
pleasant nnd short. The president ami
Jack Adams wete In the same surrey. They
talked of farm matters, weather and crops
A drive wns ninde over the McKlnley farm
ond Farmer Adams pol'ited out to Hie
president the good polnttt nnd the needed
Improvements. The president Inspected the
barn, shcepshed nnd other buildings and
then asked to sec the horses.
The party was invited to the house nnd
Farmer Adams and wifn made the visitors
sit down to a "good country dinner." The
presidential party waived all formalities
and "pitched In" to do Justice to the oc
casion. The (nbleware was not of the
While House variety, but the food was
nbundant and substantial. The president
sntil he enjoyed Ills meal heartily and
thanked Farmer Adams and family for the
entertainment.
A short inspection nf the house was
made by Ihe president and ll Is n safe
guess to make that the president will give
Farmer Jack Adams a new dwelling place
soon. The present .structure Is old and
out of repair.
