ONLY NEEDS WARM WEATHER.

ONLY NEEDS WARM WEATHER. -
All that is needed is little warm
weather, and then will come that vexa-
tious stormy period in life, known as
cleaning. time. The busy house
wife will tear up carpets, jerk down
stoves, whitewash ceilings, scrub floors,
break pictures, scratch furniture, get
piping mad, scold, fuss, growl and set
out "cold meals" to the men of the
house. Warm weather alone is needed
to bring about all of this restlessness
and wreck the masculine heart for for
ty-eight hours.

Ashton, Dakota, Aug. 4-Alphonose
Chezelmas, who was found dead at his
door yesterday morning, was murdered
by some person unknown. The coroner
finds that he had been away from home
and returned late in the evening, and
was shot through the heart with his own
gun as he approached by aome person
concealed in the house. The gun was
then placed behind the door, inalde.
Suspicion rests upon q man who had
previously worked for him, and who had
been to the Black Hills all summer, but
who was seen in the neighborhood the
day previous to the murder, but has. not
been seen since. 1t is supposed they
had some trouble In settling. The muir

harmonize the differences existing be.

seek is the harmony which involves
complete surrender Of the Other
