W. Witten, in charge of the registrations and drawings for Cheyenne River reservation lands, is in the city, and will meet notaries tonight. Efe has made final arrange-^ ments at other points where registra tion is to take place, and this is the last place on his tour. He goes back to Aberdeen from Pierre to remain until after the drawings in the latter part of October. His arrangements are for the registration of fifty thous and at this city, but he says he does not expect that many will^come, plac ing number here at about thirty thou sand. The place selected forj the registration booths is in the Locke hotel, where the boothB can |be lined up along one side of the room|provid ed, and those whotdesire to register oan go in at one door and lout of an other, Oavoiding confusion. The city is prepared to handle as many as five thousand a day, but it is not likely that the accomodations will be taxed to that extent at any time, unless it should be during the Gas Beit exposi tion|week, when the crowds |will naturally be larger than at any other time, v. An interesting question has arisen in the new county of Dewey which was carved out of the Cheyenne In dian reservatin. The last legislature attached that county to Walworth County for judicial purposes, and the authorities of Walworth county have notified the Indians who hold allot ments in Dewey County that they have been assessed on their personal property, and to call at the treasur er's office in Walworth and pay their taxes. The Indians declined the in vitation on the ground that they have not been allowed to vote, and with them the law is no vote, no tax, and if the white man wants to collect the tax he must show his authority. The white man, under the circumstances, will not for the present resort to legal means to collect, but the Indian can hardly escape on the plea that he is not a voter. White women who own property are not voters in South' Da kota, but they are obliged to foot their tax bills. There's a spot on the face of the sun, the aurora borealis is displaying much ill-timed activity, earthquakes have visited sections of the United States usually fiee from such distur bances—and the Senn conference has met and adjourned, all within a period of two weeks. Ail. of which shows what nature and politicians may ac complish when they try. Qov. Deneen has indicated unmis takably his intention of calling the Illinois legislature into special ses sion again for the purpose of making another state primary law. The state has had two or three primary laws but the Illinois supreme court has knocked them all out. The court is apparently opposed to the primary election idea. Sioux City Journal: South Dako tans sojourning in the east find them selves uqder constant temptation to talk about South Dakota. So prosper oua are their stories that it is a strain upon eastern manners to h^ld back ffuggestion that it must be popular in South Dakota to avoid the truth But the half has not been told them Although the state primary in A1 •banrn will not be held until next year.

Arlington Sun: South Dakota has suffered through factional disputes the four years, and if there is a pos sibility of bringing the waring ele ments together and reuniting the re publican party at the beginning of the next campaign it would seem the duty of every republican to try his utmost to do it. The party can be split wide open again, or it can be unified. Before going into the merits of the claims put forward by the var ious candidates for ottlce and precipi tating another fight all along the line, a little pacific council should be considered, and if possible, a cessa tion of hostilities effected. The state capitol commission at a session last evening formerly decided to adopt the "lake" which was out lined to the legislative members at the las', session in a large picture which was on exhibition. While this plan has been adopted, the amount of money available for improvement this year is not sufficient to begin the carrying out of the whole plan, but that which is available will be used to begin the work on the western end of the grounds, leaving the completion of the work covering the whole tract for more available funds. The work to be carried out to be make harmon ious with the whole plan. This will leave the eastern end of the grounds to be cared for later. Today is the day set by an Italian astronomer for the world to be pulled out into oblong shape like a summer squash. It isn't going to be pulled out. Last Friday 300 men and wo men met at "Ashdad," Mass., to be ready for the end of the world, which thev had dated to take place at that time. The end didn't come. Of course there are many harmless crazy peo ple who are mt confined in asylums, but they can't scare anybody but themselves. The same power which has taken care of the universe in the past will continue to take care of it. It is a large enterprise and is evident ly being handled successfully. Returned from a trip around the world, Prof. Albert Bucknell Hart of Harvard university, says that what impressed him most is the insular government of the Phillipines. He found that "it is doing everything for the best of the islands, building har bors, roads, schools and taking excel lent care of the finances." Asked whether the people are satisfied, he answered: "No, they are not. They want independence, Much skepticism is expressed in th(B east over the project of organiz ing a $10,000,000 company to operate steamers on the Mississippi river and thence to various gulf, and Atlantic ports. The frank purpose of those who are behind the concern is to prove to the public—and to congress that river navigation is practicable and hence to be properly encouraged from the federal treasury. At least that is what is being said down east. Dr. Cook was glad to see the lights of New York, which blazed with a somewhat more caloric glow than the northern lights. LOCAL NEWS, Mrs. G, G. Stanndard and Miss Edna Smith of Rapid City are the guests of Mrs. A. B. Nelson. Miss Janetta Orr of Munsey, Ind., who has been visiting in the city, left for her home today. The contract for placing the air clean ing plant in the new state building, was let to the American Air Cleaning com pany, of Milwaukee, which was repre sented by D. M. Sutherland of that company. There were nine bidders. The members of the city commission in Sioux Falls, were before Judge Jones Saturday to answer to the charge of cutting $10,000 out of the school tax levy. The school board askeb for $110,000 and this amount was cut to $100,000 for the alleged reason that the schools receive $10,000 from the state school fund. Doane Robinson is shaping up his fig ures on crop estimates of the state for this year, and has completed his figures on wheat, his estimate being 2,711,000 acres, with a total yield Of 39, 512, oOO bushels. This is an increase of over 73, 000 acres over last year and an in crease of nearly 4,000,000 bushels. This is the first year for some -time when the state has showrt^An increase in the wheat acreage, that crop having been allowed to drop behind.

It is said he is even telling that he has the railway company with him in the move, and that he will wipe the old location off the map. His move has puc the property owners on the old site in a stew and ferment. Anew investigation fails to show any connection of the railway company with the move. In fact the officials of the company say they have nothing to do with the move, and that the station will be located on the old townsite.. But there is a flutter for the present and the rest of the old timers is broken and uneasy, especially as they recall how ea«y it was to shuttle towns in the old county seat contest days.
