Pierre—The county superintendents of the state, with practically every county represented, closed a successful meeting here last evening with a banquet, which was tendered them by the citizens of Pierre.

The superintendent of Harding county traveled 700 miles to Pierre—A brush fire which started on the island just opposite the east- point of this city. Destroyed a large amount of young timber. The high wind drove it rapidly and sparks crossing the narrow channel on this side fired the building. Aberdeen—Papers all over the Terry near St. Mary's hospital, destroying the building and contents. The hospital for wounded men were owned by E. J. Lemmon—Monday, April 19, was cleanup day here. The work was in charge of the city, beautiful committee, but every business man, city official and lodge and society in the town were actively engaged in furnishing the cause. The result was that nearly every man, woman, and child in the town was out cleaning up yards, alleys, vacant lots, and even making the streets in front of their places of business and homes, all striving and vying with each other, in having the cleanest place by nightfall. Sioux Falls—Frank Koetcke, a laborer, shot and probably fatally wounded his wife and then endeavored to destroy himself. He was overpowered by neighbors before he could complete the deed. In a jealous rage, it is said, Koetcke seized a revolver and fired four shots at his wife. Three bullets took effect, two in the forearm and one in the right side of the head. Koetcke then turned the gun on himself, but the bullet went wild and he was subdued before he could hoot again. Koetcke was arrested. His wife probably will die. Sioux Falls—Search for an armed bandit, who, yesterday forenoon, rode up to a farm house near Sioux Falls, struck Mrs. Hanson, wife of a farmer down with his gun and assaulted her, was futile late last night. Members of a sheriff's posse returned to Sioux Falls after a six-hours' hunt for the man. No trace was found. Mrs. Hanson was alone at the time. The man tied his horse at the door, a single rush rushed into the house and felled her with a blow from his revolver. Her hands were tied and she was attacked. The woman regained consciousness and raised a cry. She said her assailant was shabbily dressed and drove a bay horse drawing a light buggy.

Washington, April 23.—Senator Sterling has received copies of instructions issued to registers and receivers of local land offices under the recently amended enlarged homestead act, Just approved by the commissioner of the general land office and secretary of the interior. The following points are of special interest: No person will be permitted to have two applications pending at the same time. More than one application may be received by the local land office for the same piece of land. Pending final action on the application, the party's homestead right will be in abeyance, and he will not be entitled to exercise same elsewhere, but the withdrawal of an application may be filed. The filing of an application does give the party the right to fence the land or place other improvements therein. With reference to additional entries, the following instructions are given: A claimant who has already submitted proof on his original entry need not be residing on his entry, but the occupancy thereof may be by agent or through a tenant. If the proof on the original entry has been accepted as sufficient under either the five-year or the three-year act, no further residence is needed but, if the proof was by way of commutation, claimant must show such further residence, before or after the date of the additional entry, as will make up the aggregate amount required by the provisions of the three-year homestead act. With reference to cultivation, it is held that where proof has been submitted on the original entry, the claimant is required to show cultivation of the additional tract itself, but where proof has not been submitted, the cultivation in support of the additional entry may be maintained upon either entry.

Paris.—The semiofficial Bulletin denounces. "Without entering into details, which it is impossible to give, it is permissible to state that a new explosive has recently increased the power of French cannon tenfold."

Advices from the front recently said that the shell, in which the new French explosive is used, has caused enormous losses in German ranks, at times now.
