Fatal Accident in Brookings County.
Aurora Advocate

sAulola auStCdtts
Yesterday morning while Mr.. A. c.
Stevens and his hired man, James Abel,
were hitching span of horses prepara-
tory to coming to town, the animals be-
came frightened at buffalo coat which
Mr.. Stevens was wearing, and plupgine
forward stunned MIR. Abel and in some
unexplained manner knocked Mr..
Stevens down, killing him almost in.
stantly.
There was no witness to the affair and
when Mr.. Abel returned to consciousness
he did not notice the body of Mr.. Stevens
lying some little distance from him. bnt
started in search of the horses. When
Mr.. Stevens was discovered he was car.
ried into the house and messenger dis
patched to Brooklngs for o doctor and to
summon neighbors. Mr.. Harrison Will.
Jams, the nearest neighbor went over,
looked at the body and Immediately
started for Aurora for DIR. McCarney.
While here he said that he greatly feared
MIR. Stevens was dead; but was not Ger.
tain. The opinion is that life was ex.
tinct when the body was found, although
he was seen to gasp couple of times
after being brought into the house.
There are no marks or bruises on the
body except slight scratches on the legs
or nothing to indicate where he was in,
lured and the supposition is that the
horse kicked HIM in the abdomen, and
that the injuries were internal.
Mr.. Stevens has lived within five milet
of this village for the past to years and
was universally respected by all who
knew him. He leaves wife and mum

Civil Service Reform,

Washington, Dec. 4-Senator Pendle-
ton says that he thinks the opportunity
is at hand for some positive legislation
on the civil service. He has bill pend.
ing in the senate upon which he delivered
set speech at the last session at great
length and no end of elaboration. He
proposes, as early as possible, now to
call up his bill and advocate action upon
it. The proposed measure does not Gov
er the full subject, but treats only of the
method Of appointment. He has moth.
ing to say about the constitutionali-
ty OF removals nor tenure, in order to
avoid, as far as practicable, opposition
on the part of those who entertained diff
ferent opinions upon this subject. Some
are in favor of long tenure and some of
short tenure, while others oppose def
mite term of office of any length. In or.
der to avoid contact with these opposing
forces and further the passage of his bill,
Mr.. Pendleton only provides that ap-
peintments shall be made for merit alone,
without regard to partisan service. His
theory is to divest office.holding, in the
minor positions, of its political features
and make the civil service Independent
of campaign operations. The senator
thinks this theory has been approved BY
the result Of the late election, and Is
greatly encouraged at the prospect of
securing such legislation.

DR.. Lancaster's Experiment.
Richmond Whie,


"Dr. Lancaster, what on earth are you
doing?" said Wing reporter to the
physician at the city almshouse yester-
day, as that gentleman was found ad-
ministering big dose of chloroform to
an old barn-yard rooster in the hospital
dispensary.
"Why, Sir this is the rooster season,
and l am going to show that both politi-
clans and roosters without heads can live
in this free country" and he went to
work carefully with his fine instruments
and took off the birds head Just above
the ears, and cautiously gathered up the
muscles, arteries, and veins, and applied
chemicals to prevent the flow of blood.
Into the neck of biped he placed glass
tube-a channel through which to intro.
duce food into the craw-and then put
the bird into box covered with clouth,
with hole in the center for the headless
neck to go through.
"In few hours" the doctor said, "this
chicken will walk around with steady
step. a brainless agent without sight
thought or feeling"
And sure enough the doctor was right
At 5 p. m. the chanticleer was walking
about the floor of the dispensary with M
care as to the result of the cleo
ton or as to where and when he woul,

Judge Wylie, of Washington, in his
charge to the grand jury. said newspa-
pers were constantly containing scanda-
lous libels on public men, and on private
character. Thatit was species of offense
that created more unhappiness and mis-
cry in society, and did more injustice
than any other form of crime, and all
probably printed lie. He rather sus-
pected writers for periodical newspapers
had among them more than the usual

lying, and if the public would cease to
patronize such papers as he alluded to,
such low vice and crime would soon die

A telegraphlc item is attracting con-
siderable attention which states that q
case is on trial in New York under new
law which makes attempted suicide a
crime punishable by Imprisonment not
to exceed two years, or fine not cx
ceeding two thousand dollars. 1t may
not be generally known that the laws of
Dakota make attempted suicide crime,
and provided for its punishment.
Section 22G of the penal code
reads: "Every person guilty of at
tempting suicide, OR OF aiding an at
tempt at suicide, is punishable by inn
'prisonment in the territorial prison not
exceeding two years, or by fine not ex-
'ceeding one thousand dollars, or both"
A knowledge of this fact may induce
people to bo careful and not make fail
ures of their efforts in this direction,
though we never heard of any one being
punished for lack of success.

highway" said the captain. "Here are
some of the figures 1 have looked up.
They are based on the books of the diff
ferent boat lines, excepting the business
of the Coulson boats below Bismarck.
That item Is certainly low enough, but
probably about right. as the Coulson
boats worked between Bismarck and
