EVENTS AND COMMENTS

A NFw York aSSemblymen proposes,
ii is said, to make it penal otfense to
send flowers to convicted criminals
murderers and such like. The idea is
God one. if it can only be carried into
effect and properly enforced. Natural
lv-it would cut off many hours en-
nlovment from weak-minded females
who seem to think that a man convicted
of crime-especially of MURDERS fit
subject for their sympathy and offer
ings. All remember how the brutal
murderer, Chastine Cox, (colored) was
slobbered over by hundreds of suppos-
edly respectable New York females
while he was awaiting the day OF his
execution; then comes the recollection
of the wife-murderer, Balbo, who re-
ceived more flowers, sweetmeats, cake
and wine from New York's daughters
than ne could possibly have consumed
had his execution been stayed until the
present time; then follows the story of
the three young murderers, whose
minds were poisoned with the fash lit
erature Astounding through the country,
and who decoyed an old man into the
woods and killed him with a coupling
hin of railroad car. These lads were
the pets of many alleged intelligent
women of their town, who fed them on
the best of the land; and on the day
they paid the penalty of their crime,
supplied them with fine black suits,
white ties and button hole boquets,
arrayed in which they went forth to
the gallows and "died game" Since
that time numerous others exhibitions
of this sickly sentimentalism have oc-
Cured in the East and elsewhere, all of
which. no matter in what light the
women may view their actions, have
served simply as inducements to COM
nit crime. because of the "heroism" at
taching to red-handed murderers. The
New York Sun, however, does not be-
ieye 1.-THE evil is one that can be re
pressed by penal legislation and says
that if it were made mlsdemeanor to |
iend boquet to a convict, dray would |
not hold the floral tributes which
popular murderer would receive daily
through the corruption of his jailers by
sympathetic cranks;" all of which, by
the way, is simply an argument that
our prisons are in the hands OF rascally
and incompetent parties, and that the
jailors are as bad as the jailed.

YsEULT DUDLEY has been likened unto
Charlotte Corday by one of the daily
papers. 1t may be just comparison;
but it viii be remembered that Charlotte
Gorday stabbed Marat while he was
taking bath. Had YseuIt Dudley
waited to capture O'Donoyan Rosa in
bath-tub, it's not at all likely that he
would ever have suffered at her hands

New York has another church scan
dial quite as picturesque as the Newman
unpleasantness. 1t is at the Orient
Avenue Congregational church III East
New York. Deacon Salmon danced a
Highland fling at recent entertain

measured terms. Then Deacon Kelsey
defended his brother deacon in print
A meeting was called on Sunday and
steps were taken to strike Deacon KEEL

meeting several women tainted, and at
the close Deacon Salmon had to be sat
down upon by half a dozen men to
keep him from thrashing another dea-

Sensational.

Mitchell Republican: The Grand Ju-
ry at Howard found indictments
against Rev. j. c. Shetland. a Metho-
dist minister at De Smet and an ccom
plice whose assumed name was .Jno.
Jones. These charges were preferred
by DR.. Conlin, a physician Of Alexan-
cria. Rev. Shelland's former pastorate.
The charged is that Conlln WAS summon
ed to De Smet to visit Mrs. Shetland
was reported at the point Of death, and
was conducted into a room in the hotel
where Shetland and his accomrlice
compelled him at the pistol point to
sign notes and other documents. and
after leading him out Of town, escaped.
1t is limited that there is a woman IN
the case. Shetland has stood we'll in
Methodist circles and this sensation is
a great surprise to everybody acquaint-
ed with him. He will be remembered
as n of the most energetic members
on the floor Of the NJ. Z. Conference
held in this city last fall and also as a
prominent member of the educational
committee OF that body.

Tally One Fer the Times.

The Woonsocket Times rebukes one
of its correspondents in the following
manner. AS it may be of some inter
est to the citizens Of this place we pub
lish it this week:
Correspondents of the Times are re-
quested to confne themselves to the
news Of their locality, and not topound
any one on the back, in all attempt to
redress their own or another's personal
grievances. If public wrongs need
Fighting there will be no hesitapcy on
our part to take up the cudgel, or to
publish the outspoken sentiments of
people, over the proper signatures. Be-
cause a mar owns or controls a news
paper. or writes for one, is no reason
why he should tamper with the charac-
ter or reputation of any one; and as
the editor of this paper does not feel at
liberty to make use of its columns for
airing of his personal grievances, real
or imaginary, so they shall not be made
a cover behind which others may hide
and fire away at people. We owe ain
apology to certain worthy citizens Of
WessingtonSpring forhaving, through
neglect, allowedthe correspondentfrom
that place to make some insinuations
which, in all cases but one. at least, was
an injustice. The circumstances Of the
whlskey business at the Springs are
entirely unknown to US, and, While we
should be very willing to lend assist
ance in exposing any such illicit pro-
ceedings as those to which the CORE
spondent referred, we are quite willing
to allow the people Of that burg to at
tend to that, and until strong evidence
presents itself, we shall give the people
of Washington Springs and Jerauld
county the credit of being one of the
too few staunch temperance towns and
counties in Dakota"

A Nice Legal Point.
The editor of the Mitchell Capital re.

The editor of the Mitchell Capital re-
ceiyed a communication as follows;
Is it a fact that a woman can get a
divorce solely on the ground Of his he
Ing a member Of the legislature?
To which, after careful research and
consideration response is made in this
manner:
While it may not legally entitle her
to a divorce. yet Judging from the re-
tons OF the honorable body Just ad,
in either of the three houses of the Leg
islature is morally entitled to one.

WORDS OF CAUTION.
Especially for the Farmers and STOCK
RaiSerS.

L.C. Reed. of Delapre, Lincoln coun-
ty, has made a discovery, when n
Sioux Fails Press thinks every farmer
and stock grower should know: "lhe
discovery is simply the fact that flax
seed is fatal to stock. On the day men
toned a yearling colt belonging to MI.
Reed took a m%cuthful of the seed and
died en- Wednesday. The animals
death was not caused from cver-feedlng
on the seed, as it was driven from the
sack Immediately upon getting Its nose
into the contents. 1t is a question.
however. whether the anlmalS death
resulted from taking the seed into its
stomach orinhaling them into its lungs,
but there is no question that its death
was caused by the seed. as Mr.. Reed,
who was in this city a few days ago. as
sures us that it began to show symp-
toms of distress q few hours after the
occurrence referred to, and continued
growing worse until Wednesday when
it died. lie has since learned that flax
seed has caused the death Of quite a
number Of colts in: his county, and for
the benefit of stock growers he is any
ious to spread the information, and
caution farmers from leaving their flax
exposed where there herds can obtain
access to it.
In this connection it is opportune to
repeat the experience Of John Lasche
with flax seed. lie was told last sum-
mer that a little of this product pre-
pared as a mash was beneficial to young
calves. He tried it OF his Holsteins
and had his hands full for a couple Of
days to save them from DEATH"
