A young lady at party, the other night,
gave the following advice to young man in
reference to the use of big words: "In pro-
mitigating your esoteric cogitations, of artic-
ulating your superficial .sentimentalities, and
philosophical, psychological observations, be-
ware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your
conversational communications possess rar-
flied conciseness, compact comprehensive
ness, a coalescent consistency and conca-
tenated cogency. Eschew all conglomeration
of fatulent garrulity and jejune babblements.
Let your extemporaneous interrogations pos
sess intelligibility, psittaceous bacinity, ven-
triloquial verbosity and vandiloquent rapid
ity. Shun double entendres, pestiferous pro-
family, obscurat or apparent. In other words,
talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly, truth
fully, purely. Say what you mean, mean what
YOU say, and don't use big words"

THE UNION COUNTY MURDER.

william Lehman Killed in q Fight
About Some STRAY Calves.
Elk Point, u. T., April 22-From
Deputy Sheriff John Vasser, the follow.
ing is learned with regard to the tragedy
which occurred in the north end Of
this county, Sunday afternoon: George
Sidney and William Lehman live neigh.
bors, the highway between them, and
have quarreled more or less for some
time. On Sunday last, several Of Leh.
mans calves got out and went over to
Sidney's. Lehman's boy, fourteen
years old, went over for them as soon as
it was learned they had strayed. It had
been raining most of the morning. Sid
ney refused to let the boy have them.
Lehman and the boy went over immedi-
ately.. Lehman approached the yard
With his hands in his pockets. Sidney
caught up pitohfork, exclaiming as hs
did 30: sdet away from here, you son-of-a.
bitch, or T will kill yo1.n Lehman
grasped the fork, and while they were
struggling for the possession Of it, q
young man named Stephen, who has
been living with Sidney for some time,
caught up piece of two by four that
had been used for reach and running
up behind Lehman, struck him blow
which felled him to the ground. Leh-
man tried to hang on to thefence and
drag himself toward home, but could
not. He finally rolled over in the mud
and manure on his back, when Sidney
went up to him and choked him, and
was about to strike him when Stephen,
who had struck the mortal blow, told
him he must not do it. The son of Leh-
man ran home and told his mother, who
came and asked for pail of water to
wash her husband's face with, which
Sidney refused, but which Mrs, Sidney
furnished.
This is in substance the testimony OF
Ed. Hart, young man who saw the kill.
ing, and was at Sldney's when Lehman
came over.
From the officer it is learned that
Stephen is without known parentage. A
Jury was summoned by Deputy Vasser
and an inquest held before Justice Man
gan, of Beresford. DR.. Quigley, of Cal
liope, made the post mortem examina
tion and found two cracks in the skull
on the head, either of which was suf
dcient to cause death. The jury had mo-
rendered verdict when Mr.. Vasser left
but it will undoubtedly be in accordanc,
with these facts.
While this was taking place our shsr
if had appeared upon the scene from
Akron. and finding the prisoners a
Beresford brought them here last night
This morning the defendants lnmedi
ately retained Hon. Alex. Hughes to de
fend them, and at about 10 O'Clock MI
Hughes, District Attorney Nichols, tn
sheriff and the prisoners started on tn
, return trip to see that an inquest hat
, been held.
|, The citizens of Beresford sent word b,
the deputy sheriff to retain Mr.. Hughe
by all means in the prosecution of th
J case, one man pledging twenty five dol
lars, but Mr.. Hughes had undertaken
the other side.

Committees from the various temper
ance organizations of south Dakota have
been holding meeting at Wolsey.
They agreed among themselves to use
every effort to elect delegates to the
constitutional convention favorable to
placing prohibition clause in the con.
stltution. The plan il to nominate q
prohibition ticket in every county and
to perfect thorough organization for
work. Where it is practicable the pro-
hibitionists will combine with one or the
other of the political parties. As it has
been the intention not to introduce pol.
itics into the election of delegates to the
constitutional convention, it begins to
look as though the contest wonld finally
be drawn between the prohibition and
anti.prohibition forces. These are OF
nearly equal strength in the counties
which will participate and the coming
election promises to be one of interest il
the plans of the prohibitionists are fol
lowed up by energetic work.

E. T. Cressy publishes card in the
Vermillion Republican which is de.
signed as reply to some criticisms rela-
tive to his acts as regent Of the Yer
million university. In his card Mr..
Cressey says:
So that. although my work has been
without remuneration I've we're only
paid actual expenses, it has been con-
tinual source Of pleasure 10 know that
the work, time and care bestowed have
been fully appreciated by your citizens,
who. more than all others, hRvs known
what tax it has been to travel 500
miles each time have come here.
Mr.. Cressey's idea Of working without
remuneration does not correspond with
the popular belief, based upon the pay.
ment to him Of something like $i,loO for
services as regent. The distance between
Huron (his home) and Vsrmillion by the
railroad route. government measure
ment, is 1881 miles. Doubling these
figures. to allow for the return trip.
gives total Of 3571z miles travelled for
each visit, instead of 500 miles, %
claimed by MIR. Cressey. These facts
and figures provoke the inquiry, did Mr..
Cressey charge the territory for 500
miles travel every time he went to Yer.
million on official visit? By his own
statement it appears 90. If he did the
overcharge for single visit would be
14213 miles. He is credited, though un-
officially. with visiting the university
twice each month, making total Of
forty.eight visits in two years
and an excess of mileage over
the actual distance travelled
of $3.50 miles. We have taken Mr.
Cressey's own figures, and the govern
ment figures as the basis Of this compar-
ison. The government is correct. II
may be that Mr.. Cressey has misquoted
himself in his communication to The
Vermillion Republican. University re
gents were allowed actual travelling ex
penses, which would be probably fou
cents per mile for railroad fare. ever
though the regent was possessed of ,
free pass. It is great hardship to 6erv,
the public without remuneration.
