ilerrick Press: Since the passing
i Maj. Kelley from the affairs of the
-ebud Indian agency, the report has
n prevalent that he was found to be
i 000 short in his accounts.and many
had taken it for granted as being true
wfbout furthei investigation. How
r, the government has had its ex
rt accounts cnecking up the financial
a!',lira of the agency for Jsome time
pa-t and the work was completed
t-i week. Boss Farmer Caton. who
irned from the agency last Satur
a v, informed us that the result of the
tl rts of the experts on the accounts
oi Major Kelley shows that he han
died over a quarter million dollars
and came through eight dollars and
eleven cents long, instead of fl."»,000
short a« has leen reported. Tnese ac
tual facts as proven by the government
itself ought to put the "tixins" onto
the fahe stories that are ^circulated in
regard to this affair, and will* be good
news to the friends of Major Kelley
everywhere.

H. H. GULSTINE
Of Madison Promoting Big
Enterprise Near Seattle,
Wash —Fruit Lands
Seattle, Wash., Post Intelligencer,
14: Tnat the state of Washington bas
well uign irresistible charms for an
intelligent business man from the east
is the experience of Henry H. Gul
stine, a successful business man of
Madison, S. who came here two
months ago on a pleasure trip, inci
dentally invested $50,000 in tbe state,
aud has since found it impossible to
take time to go home again. Among
Mr. Gulsine'spurchaaes are a well lo
cated business lot in the new Denny
uill regrade district and 300 acres of
fruit land within twelve miles of Ya
kima city.
Prior to Mr. Gnlstine's visit to the
state, two months ago, he was a
wholesale dealer in agricultural im
plements at Madison, S. D.. where,
during twenty-five years of residence,
he amassed a modest fortune. Mr
Gnlstine's first whiff of Puget sound
air,and subsequent inspection of Seat
tle business possibilities, and the con
ditions in the Yakima valley, opened
up a new business vista to him. He
studied tbe conditions soberly and
thoughtfully and satisfied himself
that his eyes did not deceive him
Then be got busy and started banc de
posits from Madison, S. D., westward.
After nailing down a good thing in
the Denny hill district that will, he
says, make him a wealthy man one
day, he drove into the fruit district
ad emerged with a contract for a sec
tion of land, in company with five
business friends. Later a large part
of the land was taken over ant* paid
for by Mr. Gulstine, and he still
holds options on other tracts.
Then he wired back home for his
big red automobile and commenced to
take inquiring tourists like himself,
out to tne fruit tracts and show the
business prospects that he saw himself.
Since then he bas sold tract after tract
to tourists, and is so busy that he has
been obliged to wire his wife and fam
ily not to wait for him at Lake Minne
tonka any longer, but to return to
Madison and wait until he can find
time to get back home and close out
his interests here and remove to
Washington.
"I have taken dozens of people out
to the fruit lands in my automobiu
said Mr. Gulstine yesterday, "and of
all these peoDle only one man has
failed to buy, and he did not nave tn»
money. The people of Washington do
not themselves realize what they tiave
here. It is a prodigiously rich em
pire, now scarcely scratched. Soux
day it will literally teem with
i i e s
aud with wealth. If the people who
are coming here to see the fair w i
stay long enough to realize the greHt
future of every section of this state
more than one-half of them will return
here to become residents."
Mississippi River Stationary.

OP FOR LIFE
Twenty-five Life Prisoners
in the South Dakota
Penitentiary.
Sioux Falls, July 18.—Inside the
tall, grim enclosure of tbe South Da
kota penitentiary, are twenty five uner
whom society has said mast live th
rest of their natural lives in prison
The crimes these ui"n have committed
are of such gravity that the state i^
unwilling that they shall again min
gle in freedom with their fellow men.
When it is considered that of the
two hundred aud four men incarcerat
ed in tbe prison, nearly one eighth ar«
"lifers," society, which often oreakt
the conventions, but is not caught, sitt
back and gasps at what it loves tc
call an "epidemic of depravity."
What are tbe crimes that thesi
twenty-five "lifers" have been con
victed of'/ This was the question put
to the warden of the state peniten
tiary in Si ux Falls. He told the
reporter that the men who were sen
tenced to spend the remainder of theii
lives in prison were murderers. But
not tbe kind of murderers the «asi
produces! These men were practically
all boys of the plains men who bad
been wronged, and who did not wait
for tbe law to redress their wrongs,
but acted quickly, auu shot to kill
To the casual visitor within the
penitentiary walls, the "lifer" does
not live np to his expectations. In
bis mind's eye he bad pictured a bes
tial face with short cropped hair. A
figure perhaps bent with age and
weariness, or else one that personifie*
treachery and vilenees, a sinewy l"odj
that moves cat like and silently
It is true that within tbe walls ol
the penitentiary the first thing that at
tracts tbe attention of the visitor is tbe
leadly quiet. The factories make
their ordinary mechanical clatter, bul
the thing that oppresses one is the
lack of the sound of human voices.
The "lifer" niusi necessarily be a
quiet man. The prison regulations
forbid talking. But he is not the de
graded type the visitor bas imagined.
On the other hand, one is shocked tt
find the cleanest looking men in the
institution those who are sentenced foi
life.
When a man enters the state peni
tentiary be is listed its a second-grad*
man. If he behaves himself, and trien
to reform in the warden's opinion,
is promoted to the first grade. Or
the other hand, if he disobeys any o
the prison regulations, he is reduced ii
rank to the men who wear stripes
tbe third grade prisoners. The latte
forfeit all privileges tnat the prif-oneri
of tbe first and second grades enjoy
They lose their tobacco, their reading
their holidays. Tbe "lifer" is almos
invariably a first grade man.
This is most significant in tbe mind
of those who have studied crimino
logy. Mrs. Florence Maybrick, wh
spent fifteen years in an English pri
son, is perhaps better posted on the tru
conditions of prisons than any tody els
in the country. She is an educate):
woman and has visited practically
every penitentiary in the Unite)'
States.
In the case of the Soath Dakota
"lifers," she expressed compassion
With many ot tbeui, reform had al
ready worked a change. They bac
become truly penitent as a result o
thair penitentiary experience.
With tightly compressed lips th
"lifers"in the state penitentiary ben
over their work in the twine or sbir'
factory. Visitors come and go, but i
they notice tbem, they make no sign
From out of the corners of their eyes
ho waver, they scrutinize every one whi
enters tbe room.
TRIEDJDICIDB
Incarrigible Girl of Mitchell
to be Sent to the Re
form SchooL
Mitchell, July 18.— Bessie Wooley,
who tried to run away from home lasi
winter,dressed in ner brothel's clothes,
and later was in Sioux Falls for a cou
pie of weeks until returned by th*
police, tried to commit suicide Tbur*
day evening by swallowing c.arboli
acid. Tbe girl has been in consider
able trouble the past year and prob
ably thought she would be better oil
dead. Wednesday afternoon while at
tbe river picking berries with her
mother and brother she eluded tbem
and did not return home until the next
morning. It is stated that she told her
brother she had Bpent the night with a
hired hand on one of tbe farms near
the liver. She slipped away again
Thursday evening and ber father
started out on horseback to look fcr
ber. This time he found her walk
ing with a young man on one of
the
back streets of the city. Mr. Wool\y
could not handle both of them anil
was forced to let her companion go
She then took a swallow of tbe acid
from abottle which she had and which
action her fatner did not notice till he
detected tbe odor and felt the burn of
some on bis band. She commenced to
scream and on reaching home fainted
inside tne door. Dr. Dundas was
called and worked over ber until
she
was out of danger. Her neck and face
were badly burned but very little oi
tbe chemical was swallowed. On ac
count of ber disposition the girls will
probably be sent to the industrial
school at Plankinton.
