County Division
Petitions for Division of Jack-
son County being generally sign-
ed. Advantages of Division.
Circuit Court Proc’d’gs.
A Brief Resume of the Various
Cases and the Disposition of them
to Date.
County Division is still the mosi
prominent topic under discussion in
this “m ek ’o the woods.”
The Jackson county petition liaye
more than the rexuired number of
signers at the present time but work
willnot stop ss long as there is any-
one who wishes to attach their names.
The bad roads the past week have
somewhat delayed the work but the i
required numbi ¦¦ of signers lias been
secured nevertheless.
While there has been a sentiment
expressed in some localities in favor
of no division, those same localities
have expressed a desire that if the
county was to be divided that it
should he, so far as the south end was
concerned, along the old Jackson j
county lines.
Everyone realizes that a division of [
the county is desirahia but some are
deterred from joining in favor of the
proposition for the reason that they
are afraid of increased taxes.
In our last issue wo showed up the '
tax proposition and how Jackson \
county could be organized and op-
erated without a cent of extra ex- 1
pence to the tax payers.
The portion whicli Jackson county 1
would receive of the resources of .
Stanley above liabilities would build
and equip the court house. At the t
present rate of tax levy on the 1999
assessment ovtr $25,000 could be rais-
ed to run the new couuty and this
would bo greatly increased each sue- 1
(•ceding year by the newly proved up I
lands being added to the tax roll and ¦
by the improvements in the various
towns of the county.
Then think of the indirect tax which
will1)0 saved by every taxpayer who
lias to make a trip to the couuty seat.
Now it costs anyone living on the
Milwaukee line from fifteen to twenty-
live dollars to make such a trip when
if we had a county seat near at hand
tin* cost would be comparatively small.
The two-county divisionists argue
t hat the time is not ripe for a lour
county divide Out cut the county in
two and then when the country is
older cut it again.
This may sound good to some but
not to tho Jackson countyites. Now
is the time to divide and have this

bickering and strife between towns
over for all time.
With the county divided we will
have a better opportunity to say
where ovr money shall be expended
and that the permanent improvements
of the county are put where they will
do the most good.
There is every reason for the re-
establishment of old Jackson eountj
and no valid reason against it. We
invite every reader to make a study
of this pro}*,sition and be convinced
in this matter.
CIRCUIT COURT.
The March term of court opened
Tuesday morning with Judge Bouch-
er presiding.
One case against Philo Stevens '.’as
removed from the calendar and the
other was continued.
The cases against Harry Brooks,
Paul Wood and Frank Conway were
continued on account of defendants
being fugitives from justice.
Elmer Zigler changed his pica from
Not Guilty to Gilty in the well-known
horse stealing case in which he was
associated with Toni Barnes and
Henrj Oakes, and was sentenced to
six months in tho penitentiary at
Sioux Falls. The light sentence was
probably duo to this defendant’s atti-
tude throughout the trials and the
willing maimer in which ho disclosed
his guilt and the actions of his asso-
ciates in crime.
The State of South Dakota versus
Almeda llcdding was taken oil the j
calendar in one instance and left on
in the other, the defendant having
left, the county and state.
States Attorney Johns ni insisted
)n leaving the case of the State ver-
ms Lsaac McCoun on the calendar. !
It willbe remembered that McCoun
was sent to Sioux Falls for life at the
ast term of court for one of the mur-
lers lie committed at. Kadoka last
>- ear, and the case now on the calen- 1
lar is the one charging Him with the
ither of his crimes. His attorney,
Mr. Hughes, suggested that the con-
tusion of his life sentence would be
•ather a poor time to try him again,
jut Uie case still sticks.
Two cases against Raymond Ches-,
ler were continued. Chesser is now i
loing time at Sioux Falls for one of-
ence.
The State of South Dakota versus
General W. Masters, formerly of Ot-
iunuva, was dismissed.
Henry Krueger was lined $20.00 for
insisting in an assault UDOtione of his
lcighbors named Decker This is the
wine ease in which Itoss Whittemore
was fined at the last term of court.
Die action against Mrs. Lucille Whit-
emore was dismissed.
Roy Foster, who is charged with
sei-jury in connection with the Tom
Barnes horse steal 1 ! -asc. appeared
n court and stated tha ••. ith-
iut an attorney and without 1 .
.iafty oi, Stejdiens having refused lu
•ontinue as attorneys in his case

without the necessary coin being
forthcoming. George Philip wasaj-
pointed by the court and the case will
come up later.
The first real trial of the term was
the case of the state versus Willard
Leach for shooting at a horse belong-
ing to ins neighbor, Henry Ellis. The
, case went to the jury Wednesday and
verdict of ucquittal was brought in
Thursday morning.
Watson Fletcher plead guilty to
selling drug store whiskey without a
license and was allowed to pay a fine
of $50.00.
As we go to press the case of the
State versus P. A. Cavanaugh is being
tried. Pete lias been in the saloon
business at Midland the past two years
and a building across the street from
his place of business was recently
rented for school purposes. Com-
plaint was made under the law which,
forbids a saloon being conducted with-
in three hundred feet of a school
building, and Pete is now ascertain-
ing whether or not he willhave to
moye.
Later: —At the conclusion of the
testimony Judge Boucher directed
the jury to return a verdict in favor
of the defendant, no cause of action
having been shown to exist by the
testimony of the state. Therefore Mr.
Cavanaugh was found not guilty.—
Fairplay.
The case of the State vs. Joseph
Kukal in which the defendant was
charged with shooting a horse belong-
ing to Wm. Coyle, came up Friday
and went to the jury who returned a
verdict of not gilty and the defendant
was discharged. A. G. Granger of
Kadoka appeared for the defendant.
The case of State vs. Ed Freemole
of Weta charged with selling liquor
without a license, was continued un-
til the next term of court and the
witnesses sent home.
The case of the State vs. John Res-
sigue of Stamford was tried Saturday
and the jure found the defendant not
guilty. is the ease in which H.
F. Granger of Stamford as complain-
ing witness had John Ressigue arrest-
ed for assault and the preliminary
hearing was held before Justice Stev-
enson in this city.
Seed Corn Tests.
The McCaull-Webster Elevaton Cc.
writes us that they have been mak-
ing many tests of corn in this terri-
tory to determine its germinating
qualties for seed.
Out of some twenty-five tests made
from as many cribs of corn, both old
and new, only two would germinate
high enough for seed. A few of the
others tested 50 per cent, which is en-
tirely too low to plant, while the bal-
ance was absolutely dead. Old corn
they sav, so far as their tests have
up. i wen absolutely value-
-1 - or ,as most of it is entirely
dead as to germination.
They also call attention to bimilar
tests which have been made in lowa
under the supervision of Prof. Hold-
en of the lowa Agricultural College,
at Ames, in which 100 ears taken
from as many cribs from different
parts of tho State of lowa, were test-
ed. Of these only eight ears showed
germination high enough to plant.
Thirty-three ears showed germination
but too weak to plant, while fifty-
nine ears were absolutely dead.
In their opinion, this matter of seed
corn is one of supreme importance to
the farmer, aH well as all other class-
es in a corn territory, and they strong-
ly urge that all classes of business
men try to make this matter of poor
seed as public as possible so that the
the farmers will begin in time to se-
lect and test the corn that they in-
tend to plant.
It is their opinion that every farmer
should test for germination, each ear
corn selected, for while the corn may
look good, when tested it may show
absolutely no germination at all.
This also holds good when farmers
are buying seed corn from others.
They should be sure that the germi-
nation is guaranteed to be at least 90
j>er cent; but take nobody’s guaran-
tee —test the corn themselves before
planting.
A very simple way to test corn for
germination is to select the ears, take
the number of kernels desired from
each ear—say ten ears and ten kernels
from each ear. Them place these
kernels between several thicknesses
of thick cloth, thoroughly wet the
cloths and place in a warm room
which is never allowed to become
chilly. A temperature of 70 or 80 de-
grees is about right. The cloths
should he moistened every dav; often-
er, if necessary. In four or five days
the corn will be sprouted if it will
germinate, and the exact per cent of
germination can be determined. Blot-
ting paper can be used in place of
the cloth if desired, or even a basin
full of wet sand, will answer every
purpose. No matter how it is done,
so long as it willbring the desired re-
sults; but they strongly urge that
every farmer take the utmost care in
in the selection and testing of seed
I corn,—Vermillion Republican.
IS CALLED TO REST.
As announced in our last issue Mrs.
R. M. Bennett passed away at her
home adjoining Kadoka on Friday
morning at 10:45. She had been ill
for some time and in fact had not
been in the best of health for several
years. Her fatal illness dates from
some two months ago when she was
i taken with a severe attack of appen-
dicitis and went to the Chamberlain
Sanitarium for an operation which
: was successful hut a severe bowel
j trouble set in and in her \v eakened
| condition she was not able to over-
come it.
When she arrived home some five
j weeks later It was expected that she
would soon be well and strong but
i such was not to be and she gradually
: grew weaker until the end came,
i Everything possible was done for her
! but to no uvuil and she goes to join
her Master in the relms on high.
1s - Edith V. Nellor was born in Cum-
ing county, Nebr. Feb. 28, 1879. At
the age of eight she moved with her
mother to Randolph, Nebr. where she
made her homo until she came to Ka-
doka in tho spring of 1907. She was
married to Roscoe M. Bennett on
August 29th, 1900, and to this union j
| three daughters were born, Mildred, I
j aged 9; Margaret, aged 6 and Mable
aged 3; who with the husband and
father are left to mourn the loss of a
loving mother and wife. She also j
leaves a mother Mrs. E. Nellor and |
three brothers, E. T. Nellor, of the i
Press in this city; D. E. Neller of
Randolph, Nebr.; and a brother in
Washington. She was a Christian
from childhood anil an honored mem-1
her of the Methodist church of Rail-1
dolph, Nebr. Just why this loving '
mother was taken from the bosom of i
her family or why a mother’s only j
girl was called to her final summons
j is hard to understand.
She was a faithful wife and mother, 1
a kind and thoughtful neighbor, a j
: loving (laughter and sister.
Brief funeral services were held at j
the homo on Saturday morning at 1
J 1 -30 conducted by Rev. I>. b. Brown j
and assisted by Rev. H. M. Pinckney I
and the remains were shipped to Ran- 1
dolph, Nebr., for interment beside’
j those of a brother and sister who 1
| passed on before.
Waj ne Bennett of Lead, a brother
of R. M. Bennett arrived to attend
the funeral and later accompanied
Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Nellor and E. T.
Nellor to Raudolph to attend the fun-
eral. The children remained at the
.Mrs. Quinn home south of town.
The home with its vacant chair
and the throe motherless littlegirls i
is a sad one. Why this mother is
called now to moot her Maker is not
known but we must leave it all with
Him who all things well and
“perhaps someday we’llunderstand.”
Formalin Treatment For Seedwheat.
The efficacy of the formalin, or for-
maldehyde treatment of seedwheat to
destroy smut germs has been so am-
ply demonstrated that we douhl deem
, it particularly unwise to sow spring
wheat without first subjecting it
to this treatment. The expense and
trouble of treatment is but slight.
For the treatment of seed wheat at
the time of sowing, Prof. C. Willisof
the South Dakota Station advises the
following:
Formalin Traetment.
Apparatus—A barrel, several gunny
sacks and a supply of fbrmalin.
Mixture—One pint of formalin to j
fifty
. gallons of water, preferably
warm water, although it is not neces-
sary.
Treatmont
—Dip the wheat in the
gunny sacks into the barrel contain-
ing the mixture (formalin and water.)
Be sure that all the wheat is sub-
merged. Allow the wheat to remain |
in the mixture (formalin and water)
at least twenty minutes, after which
it may be removed and sown at once.
If the wheat is permitted to drain a
short time upon removal from the
water, the fifty gallons will treat at
least twenty-five bushels.
Cost.
—Formalin can be obtained i
from your druggist at about twenty-
five cents per pint (pound.) Two’
men can treat enough seed in one day
to sow forty acres.
Formalin is equally efficacious for j
smut in other grains and for curing
potato scab, or any other fungus
growth of grains and vegetables. The
foliowing is recommended:
Soak Beed potatoes at least two
flours in solution of one-half pound of
formalin to fifteen gallons of water,
plant on land free from scab. I)o not
fertilize with mauure from animals
fed scabby potatoes.
Formalin is a non-poisonous, non-
corrosive liquid procurable at drug
stores. Try it.
