LAND OFFICE IS CHANGED.
President Roosevelt Issues Executive
Order Affecting Mitchell, S. D., Of
fice.
President Roosevelt has signed an
executive order providing for tlie dis
continuance of the federal land office
at Mitchell, S. D., and ordering the
same removed to Gregory, S. D. With
the transfer of the office from its
present location, which is east of the
Missouri river, to Gregory, which is
on the west side of the river, a
change is made in the boundaries o£
the old Mitchell and Chamberlain
land districts, in that all the public
lands remaining in the old Mitchell
district east of the river are trans
ferred to the Chamberlain district,
while those west of the Missouri and
south of White river in Gregory
county and including Tripp county,
which is detached from the Chamber
Iain district, are placed within the
Gregory district. Tripp county, a
part of the Old Rosebud Indian
I reservation is to be opened to entry
next spring, the registration and
drawing having been held last fall.
Under the original plans the date for
the making of entries under the regis
tration and drawing had during the
past fall for lands in Tripp county
was set for March 1, but owing to un
certainty of the weather conditions at
this time of the year, the depart
ment has decided to postpone the
opening day until April 1.
WAS WIFE MADE
TO FORGE CHECK?
Peculiar Charge Is Laid at the Door
of a Black Hills Defendant.
Charged with coercing his child
wife to commit the crime of forgery
and dividing the proceeds with a
chum, and later deserting his wife,
Charles H. Helvey has been brought to
Belle Fourche and, with William Mc
Chaddo, arraigned for the crime ac
tually committed by Mrs. Helvey. The
girl, instead of being prosecuted, has
been presented with a purse by
friends at Pukwana, S. D.
Helvey and his wife, whom he had
but recently married, worked at the
Johnson-Paul-Brandsburg company
ranch, eight miles east of Belle
Fourche. When they quit work, they
were paid off with a check for $6.60.
Helvey took the check to his room
and, it is asserted, asked his wife to
practice writing the signature. Then,
it is declared, he caused her to at
tach it to a check for $125.50, pay
able to Toifi Jones. This, with the
original check, he is said to have
cashed, in company with McChaddo.
After pursuing McChaddo for 800
miles, Deputy Sheriff William Arnold
located him at Ree Heights, S. D. Hel
vey went to Pukwana and obtained a
position, but soon after left for St.
Paul. He was on his way back to the
Black Hills when he was arrested.
His wife had been left at Pukwana
and friends sent her to her mother,
Mrs. Henry Andrews.
DRUGGISTS LINE UP FOR FIGHT.
No Chance for a Compromise With
Wheaton on the Pure Drug Bill.
Probably the biggest fight of the
present session of the legislature will
be between the druggists of South
Dakota and A. H. Wheaton, dairy and
food commissioner. There is absolute
ly no chance for any compromise,
both sides declaring they will stand
fast.
The state supreme court havjpg de
clared unconstitutional the pure drug
act passed two yefirs ago, on account
of a confusion in verbiage, it is recog
nized that a new act must be passed
at this time.
The measure championed by the
druggists is known as house bill No.
2, introduced by Representative Sasse,
president of their state association.
It is a copy of the national drug act,
now in force in thirty states, with a
single change, placing the enforce
ment in the hands of the state board
of pharmacy, as was done in Iowa.
The bill supported by Commissioner
Wheaton is known as house bill No.
36, and was introduced by Representa
tive Siinonson of Brookings. It re
quires the label of all proprietary
medicines to give the common name
of each and every ingredient, or if it
is not desired to publish this state
ment, lo submit the preparation to
examination by a referee board con
sisting of the president of the state
board of health, the president of the
state board of pharmacy and the state
chemist.
Under the druggists' bill, as in the
national law, it is provided simply
that all drugs shall be of standard
purity and that any intoxicant or
habit-forming drug must be given on
the label.
Bakers in Germany are fond of mak
ing odd experiments, the following be
ing repc ted from Duisburg, in West
phalia. At a children's party recently
held in that town there was exhibited
and afterward cut up and distributed
among, the youngsters present, a bread
twist which for size at least has sure
ly rarely been equaled. Weighing no
less than 10 pounds, it had a breadth
of 1.70 meters and a length of 3.20
meters, and was thus found sufficient
to supply a satisfactory afternoon col
lation to as many -as 500 boys and
girls.
STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST
PRESHO GROWING.
Much Building Going on in Anticipa
tion of Spring Rush—Another Arte
sian Well.
Never since her early days has
Presho showed as great a building
boom as is going on at the present
time. Carpenters are in great de
mand, and there is work here for
many more. It was supposed that the
boom would not commence until
spring, but as the winter so far here
has been practically open, and as
lots are selling rapidly in the new
addition, people are putting up resi
dences and business houses prepara
tory for the spring rush by Eastern
people for the Tripp county deeded
lands surrounding Presho.
It is generally known that th« Mil
waukee road is preparing to run a
line from here to the state capital.
The North Western has also run
stakes from the South through here
to Pierre. 'Three ears of surveyors
have been working in the railroad
yards and although ndthing definite
can be ascertained, it looks very
much like they mean business.
At the present time a cement
block creamery and two immense ice
houses are being erected on the
tracks. W. 15. Sweeney will com
mence the erection of a grist mill as
soon as possible, as the machinery for
the same is already here.
Dozens of residences are going up
in the new addition and living rooms
are at a premium. It is almost im
possible to secure an empty business
building, and at the present time
Presho has three almost solid blocks
of business houses with many side
streets filled.
Presho's third artesian well Is be
ing drilled at the present time, and
it is believed that natural gas will be
obtained from this well in the same
manner as that at Pierre. This will
mean considerable to the people of
Presho. Contractors are at work
filling in the streets to grade, and
steel culverts have been installed at
all cross streets.
Many improvements are being
made in business houses. Dirks ft
Griffith have enlarged and put in a
handsome front in their clothing
store. Half of the W. S. McLain
building has been enlarged and shelv
ed and put into a racket store. H. A.
Boyd is making extensive improve
ments in the Presho Ice Cream parlor.
The Anderson Lumber company have
doubled the capacity of their lum
ber yard and erected a handsome of
fice building. Sheldon Bros, are erect
ing an immense stock barn on the
lake front, and many other improve
ments are in contemplation and de
layed only by the lack of carpenters.

MILITIA CODE FINISHED.
South Dakota Soldiers Have Trouble
In Pleasing All Concerned.

ble in getting their new code word
ed to suit all parties interested, and
now have the matter in such shape
that they will submit it to the mili
tary affairs committee of both houses
for their suggestions before It Is

SPREAD BANQUET FOR 1,000.
South. Dakota Editors Postpone Meet
ing So as to Attend Lincoln Cele

Secretary John T. Cogan of Sioux
Falls and President R. E. Dowdell of
Artesian have announced the program
of the semi-annual meeting of the
South Dakota Press association,
which is to be held at Pierre, Feb. 10
and 11.
It was expected to call the meet
ing a week earlier, but Charles An
derson, president of the Pierre Board
of Trade, asked that the time be
postponed to the latter dates, to allow
the editors to take pari in the ob
servance of the hundredth annivers
ary of Lincoln's birthday. At that
time a banquet for 1,000 persons will
be held in the Pierre Auditorium and
addresses will be made by speakers
of note, of whom only Gov. Buchtel
of Colorado Is already announced.
Following is the literary program
of the p:
'ess association
President's address, R. E. Dowdell,

remove from the state.
LAND OFFICE DECISION.
The Gilbert-Satrang Case Is Bringing
Numerous Inquiries From Those In
terested.
Since the decision was given out by
the United States land office with
reference to the case of Gilbert Sat
rang of Canton, there has been con
siderable worry on the part of others
who have been expecting patents
from the land office, and they were
somewhat embarrassed as to what
would be the attitude of the govern
ment land office. United States Com
missioner McT.ain of Presho, has had
some correspondence with the land
office concerning the Satrang deci
sion, and asked the question: "If
patents now will be withheld pending
investigations by special agents of the
land office." Fred Dennet, commis
sioner, made tbe following reply:
"You are advised that unless there is
a protest, or contest or other obpec
tions to an entryman's proof, patent
will not be withheld, but will issue in
due course of the business of this
office." Concerning a further ques
tion: "If a real estate mortgage upon
the land, where the patent has not
been issued and which has passed
only to final certificate, may be con
sidered as safe security for the debt
represented by it," the commissioner
makes reply to the effect that "until
patent issues, a mortgagee or trans
feree can acquire no greater interest
in tbe land than the entryman him
self has, and a mortgage will be sub
ject to all the equities that the entry
man's interest in the land is subject,
to. The cancellation of the entry
would wipe out the security of the
mortgage."
WANT BLEACHED
FLOUR BRANDED.
Millers of South Dakota Are in Favor
of Pure Food Laws.
Henry Neill of Madison, the secre
tary of the state millers' association,
is at Pierre looking after milling in
terest in the pure food law. He says
the millers of the s'ate are in favor
of the provision prohibiting bleached
flour in the state, and all they ask
is that when the flour is sold in the
state the bags shall be branded with
the name of the manufacturer.
His contention is that the large
dealers purchase a cheap flour, and
give it the "dealer's brand alone, fail
ing to show the mill which manu
factured it, and the millers want this
prohibited.
Oscar Jacobs, charged with killing
Elba Roberts, was arraigned at
Sturgis and asked for two weeks' stay
until he could get his attorney, which
was granted. The hearing was set
for Feb. 3. Jacobs is firm in his as
sertion that the young woman shot
herself with a revolver she took from
his pocket.
Limitations.
Mr. Scrappington (musingly) As
Lincoln said, a man may fool some of
the people all the time and all the
people some of the time
Mrs. Scrappington (briskly) But
you can't fool me any of the time.

Some six months ago the re'fnains
of Swedenborg were taken from Eng
land to find their last resting place in
Stockholm. Later a question was
raised as to whether the remains
ivere those of Swedenborg or not, and
the Scientific society has taken up
the question to see if it can be set-'
tied. From investigations already
made they are inclined to think the
remains are genuine. The matter
will, however, receive a thorough in
vestigation so that all doubts may be
set at rest.
