HOW TllEX DO IN DAKOTA, Ilia Way Jeli Jlolloirny Was Out witted by atlentlemnn From Egypt Apropos tbe McGIynn lecture Tuesday night, tbe land speculators do not always have It tbelr own way, Hero Is a little yarn that may make Commissioner Sparks and Henry George both feelgood. Way out In Dakota tbero are whole counties with only a few hundred bona fide settlers In each, tbe rest of tho land being held by Eistern speculators waiting for tbe "uaearned Increment" to get rlpo. But the honest settler gets there. Ho has a habit of piling thu taxes on land values and golog tu heavily for Intirnal Improvements, roids, bridges, school-bouses, etc., and the East ern speculator has to grin and boar nine tcntbs of the burden. , Acute Yankee named Jeb HoMowaybad taken up tbe northeast quarter of tbe south lection, range three, west, of what we will call bkoopemln township In Cleveland County, lie erected a 10 by U turf house, and bad tbe satisfaction of knowing it was the largest (and only) house In towa. One day be slipped over to tbo county seat and urged the county commissioners Into ap propriating $1,000 to build a four-room school houee with a cupola, took tbo con tract to build It himself, bad bis wife ap pointed school m arm at $40 a month to teach bli seven tow beaded, stub toed boys, and went home. He built the sahool house, and It was a daisy. One day tbo business end of a cyclono pis red hob with Jeb's snd-houso, and dropped It somewhere In Manitoba, Hollow ay gathered his family toffttLcr and camped on the ox cart for two wctks iben un Idea struck him, and be ncnt behind thu only trro In lifiecu counties anl kicked himself. Two hours later his wife was frjlng miisako tn the school house and he was titling ou tbe front steps In his stocking fret. He lived there for ucarly ajcar, Ouo day a praiilo eetiooner hove In sight and halted at tbo rrhool bouse. An enormous "PgJptlan" tllnbed outaud unllmbercd: "i ma vcr au idlt" "Naw," "You ml" "Naw." Then the confiding Holloway told him the whole (ton. "Hit's tho county scbooPuir' Incrcdu oml) sfl.ed lliettranger. "Ub Lub." , " N' jou uns don't pay no rent?"

My qujrti'r-secllon la light law." Hollow a looked dubious, but tbu itrncgtrhhd eiht strapping big bojs, two bull dogs and looked dangerous, so ho meekly succumbed. Then tbo Egyptian IrtMeltd that the school should bo kept, and all clplit of his bos wanted to go. In ten davs Tlolloway was glad to compromise and divide the toucher's aaUry, and Inside a month they wero both over at tbe county Ecat trying to have tho school grade 1 and au assistant teacher appointed.

MORE COMPANIES DRILL Tho National IUIIh Mak) as Good a Showing as Any. NONE VERY DANGEROUS. Scones aad Incidents nt Camp Wash logton To-dny, Tho overcast heavens probably accounted for the rather small attendance tbatgreited tbe first Infantry company at tho Drill grounds this morning. But after 10 o'clock they began coming In a perfect stream, and, before tho day was over, the grand stands presented the gala appearance ot tbo last few da j s. company ii, rinsT v mat vu. Tho first company to sppear was Com pany II, First Virginia. Tbelr drlUIng was very much below tho average, as was that ot all tbe troops from "Old Vlrginoy."

Tim NATIONAL RiriES. They gave place when their halt hour bad expired to tbe National Rides. As tbey came up tbe greensward they certainly made & pretty showing in their gay red coats and bearskins. A generous burst ot applause greeted tbem from the grand stands. After stacking arms In a way which brouebt forth considerable applause, this good start made their admirers hope for sorao unusually good work. But this hope was soon dispelled by their evolu tions. In which tbey were very uneven. The most difficult points In the programme laid out by the Judges they did remarkably well, making bad errors when least ex pected. Prom their work It would seem that too much attention had been given to a few difficult points and tbe more easy evolutions neglected. Ibis Is not the fact, however, as Captain Oyster has worked tbe rutnot late conscientiously and with regu larity.. .The applause, on tbe whole, was rnlher tooccncrouilyglvan.astlie work did not Justify It. If not taking a prize the Rifles will not be disap pointed, however, as there wero circumstances sickness ot men crlnclDalh which brouebt out the declara tion some days ago that all hopes fur draw ing a prize wero abandoned.

The manual of arms the) did finely. lu some movements tbo Minnesota bojs wero very floe Indeed, notably lylngdowu atd firing, which they executed with raro klll and accuracy, and they improved In o m marked dLgree as the drill went oo, re ceiving more apphuso than any other com I ii$ who has competed mj fur to-day.

Tho first to com were tho Peek skill Cadets, who were followed In turn by the St. John's Academy Cadets, Bethel Academy Cadets, Maryland Agricultural College Cadets, Cayuga Lake Cadets, Mich Igan Military Academy Cadets, and High School Cadets. The cadet competition drills began at 3 o'clock with tho Pceksktlls. At 2 30 the St. John's Cadets followed, and at 3 tho Bethels. COMl'AM I, SECOND MICHIGAN. Company I, Second Michigan, was the next on tbo field, and whllo tbey did fairly well, their drilling was not such as to leave tbem any chance for a prize. Tbelr execu tion of tbe manual was tbe beet thing tbey did, ibtlr cvo lutlons bclog quite uneven. THE 1HLLENE OCA mm. Tollowlng these came the Bullene Guards of Kansas City, who made an excellent ap pearance in very tatty costumes. Ihclr drilling was very good, Indeed, and thd kvdleuee quickly realized that tbe cow bovs ut the West knew a thlngor two about drill ing. Their suits are of plain gray, with white helmets aud plumes.

Thero Is but little to chronicle at tho camp, Final orders aro being Issued at headquarters, and tbero is not tbo hurry and bustle hero which was noticeable lu the early part of the weok, Atll o'clock General Augur and his staff. In full-dress uniform, were photographed In front of headquarters by Mr. Prince, several excellent negatives being obtained. At tbo hospital there were only nine patients In the tents, nono seriously 111, Tbe storm and wind of yesterday had torn tbe guy ropes from the tent pins In many quarters, and created sad havoc with tbo canvas. Sheets, blankets, caps and tbo various paraphernalia of vamp-life wore blown In ntl directions. The Governor's Guard ot North Carolina suffered the most damage, the San Antonio and Belknap Rifles also being greatly Inconvenienced. All tbo companlts located in tbe low ground around the Monument were moro or less discomfited, sSfe- r,s: 7 V' PSI fM.tf. 4 ,P.M A pleasant episode In the camp this roorn irg was tbe serenade rcrdcrcd to Captain Allison Naltor ot tbe Washington Ll?bt In fantry by the musical prodigies from Mil waukee.

CAMP 1UFF It AFP. Although the Toledo Cadets drilled with precision and lo most superb form. It la said by many of tbe leading captains In tbe camp, who are old army officers, that they drilled without any reference to the code of military tactics, tbelr movements being exe cuted In a studied, slow and clock like manner, entirely out of tbe regulations pre scribed by military manuals. Tbo Red Cross Association hai erected another portable barracks building adjoin ing the dhpensary, where Mies Bartou will make her headquarters. Many of tbe captains hare their families with them, who are stopping at tho hotels, but make dally visits to the camp. Mr. Eric M. Noble, tho stenographer of General Augur and his stall, Is one of the busiest men at headquarters. He Is very obliging to the newspaper men, who are In debted to blm for many courtesies. Tbe Chicago Zouaves think tbey have cap tured tbe prize, and preparations are al ready being made in Chicago to give them a grand ovation on their return. In the hospital there Is a German soldier ot one ot the Wt stem regiments. Ho has not been seriously ill, and Is now ou the road to recovery.

V by would It not he a good Idea for the Drill management to glvo a special pro gramme for Monday T Ibis being a National bollday tbo entire city would turn out If an attractive programme wero arranged. Tbe proposed sbam battle ot all the troops In camp would afford a moat entertaining and novel programme, and would be witnessed by at least JO.00O people.
