THERE are some fools in this country
after all. An incident connected with
the sale of Lord Sackvillets effects is
cited as proof. Among the articles sold
was a writing-desk. There was nothing
about this desk worthy of special mem
ton a " that it was handsomely
carved. The auctioneer believed that
it should bring n goodly figure. The
bidding was slow. No one seemed to
want the desk. But when the shreyd
auctioneer directed his assistant to
start the report that it was the
veritable desk upon which the
famous Murchison letter was written
the bidding became extremely lively
and the piece was knocked down for a
price much larger than the auctioneer
expected. How true it is that the
public dearly loves to he gulled.

Press" q bureau from which emanate
many of the best and most striking lit

in the modern newspaper. 1t is owned.
and managed by two brothers, Edward
w. and William j. Box, both young
Brooklyn men. The combined ages of
these two young publishers do not
make the figure fifty, aud yet within
their control rests one of the most re-
markable literary influences of to-day.
They control the literary work of some
f~orty-tive of the most famous men and
women of the day. which they supply
t" newspapers simultaneously all over
this country and in Canada and En-
gland. Edward Box holds a response

publishing houses, and his name is
withheld from the enterprise. William

under his name the business is con-

Edward by making him his literary

Murder and suicide.

. ORsekS
A shocking murder and suicide occurred
last week near Mccain, in the central por-
tion of Cherry county. Stephen Mead.
who has heretofore been looked upon as
an esteemed citizen, murdered his wife and
afterwards killed himself. This is all the
more deplorable as they leave four small
children, the youngest only3 weeks old.
1t seems for some time there have been
domestic wrangles in the family. Mead be-
ing of an extremely jealous disposition.
The morning of the tragedy the little son
told hin his mother said she was going to
leave him. He went to his wife and asked
her il this was so. She told him it was.
Me d mt once drew IL revolver, and in the
presence of his children, shot her through
the head. causing almost instant death.
Finding her dead he turned the pistol upon
himself and emptied the remaining cham
bers into his body. This not causing
death. ne secured his shotgun. aud placing
the mnzzle beneath his chin, fired. making
a CHASTITY wound. He staggered from the
house, and fell in the garden, where he
soon expired. The Oldest children gave
the alarm to the neighbors, but when they
arrived it was only to find the dead bodies
of the murderer and his victim.

Removal, OF til. I,.adwood Land ONCE.

Ats.sbOSHt III tulW ktalNNDu LAM Omlse.
An order has been issued by the presi-
deaf directing the removal of the land
Office from Deadwood to Rapid City.
This action has been under consideration
for some months by the generals land office,
Sparks having conceived the idea before he
went out of Office. The reason for making
the change is that Rapid City is much
nearer the center of the available public
land west of the Sioux reservation and
that settlers when going to make filings or
final proofs were compelled to cross n
range of hills in order to reach the land
Office. The secretary considered that if
the removal WIS 10. I've made it should he
made before winter sets III. The order
was signed by the president Saturday and
started III its way to the Black Hills. The
register and receiver were ordered imme.li-
ately upon it's receipt to begin removing
the books and archives to Rapid City.
The change must be advertised in the PM
per Of largest circulation in the district for
a period of four weeks, but the removal
may be made at once.
