Retains Holiday Souvenir.

ADRIAN, Mich, Jan. Frank A..
Retain, young business man of Hudson,
while crossing the Lake Shore track at
that village nearly two years ago caught
his foot accidentally between a plank
and the rail. Before he could eXtricate
himself he was run down by the fast
mail and both his feet were crushed. He
recovered after suffering several success
sive amputations and sued the road for
damages. The jury gave him verdict
for $4,000, the largest award ever made
in this circuit. The road appealed, and
last week the supreme court sustained the
finding in the lower tiibunel. Friday
Mr.. Retain received a check for S32, 314. 65
in payment for Judgment, interest and
costs-a pretty good holiday souvenir.

TETONKA THE INDIAN MAIDEN.
Miss Carrie BartOn's Exhibit at the
Worlds fair-The dwelling of tho
Statue.

For some weeks it had been known
that Miss Carrie Barton, instructor in
clay modelling and wood carving at
the Agricultural college, was modelling
a statue which was to be placed in the
South Dakota building at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition, Chicago.
Last Saturday evening the unrciling
of the statue took place in the art
rooms at the college. a large number
of invited friends were present and
assembled in the chapel to listen to
the Legend of Lakes Tetonkaha'
read by the author, A. b. Crane, as
Sistant in mathematics who is grad
uate of the college and who had for
some years resided near the shores OF
Lake TctOnkaha. The reading was
loudly applauded and after few
closing remarks DR.. McLouth invited
the company to the art rooms where
the statue was unveiled. "TctOnka
the Indian Maid" is indeed perfect
piece of Statuary, in plaster cast.
The statue stands five feet, five inches
in height, representing an Indian
maiden in the attitude Of listening
and eagerly looking to the front.
With the left hand she is grasping the
lower portion of the mantle. suspended
from the shoulders and held in place
by a leather thong. The right hand
| is raised horizontally to portion near
| the throat as if giving the silent warn
| ing of the Sioux namely drawing the
hand across the throat. About the
neck is a necklace formed of me-
mentOs. On the left wrist is a wide
| band bracelet, such as is worn by the
better class of native Sioux Indians.
The facial features pOSSeSS'an intelli-
gent expression and also bear the well
known characteristics of the tribe
which the statue is intended to repre-
sent. The long straight hair hangs
| loosely at the back. The form is per-
| feet and the limbs are beautifully
nodded. Leggings, clasped with
leather thongs are about the lower
| limbs and the feet are encaSCd in
regulation mOccaSiES.

great credit upon Miss Barton and

tural college and when it has fulfilled

Mr.. and Mrs l.. w, Miller,

Judging from an invitation received
from Parker to attend a japanese
wedding held in that city last even
ing. the REGISTER believes that Mr..
and Mrs. L. w. Miller are doing the
same good work they did here. The
Epworth League gave the wedding
and Mrs. Miller'S name appears as
vice-president of the league. Among
the notes is one which will be read by
Mr.. and Mrs. Mlller's many friends in
Brookings: THE last quarterly meet
ing of the M. f. church granted our
pastor a three months vacation for
recuperating his health, commencing
June first. After spending week in
Chicago, he will go with his family to
east Tennessee for few weeks and
then return to southern Ohio.

Wide va Narrow Tires.

The Platteville Witness states that
the Wisconsin law regarding the eX-
emption of wide tired wagons is as
follows:
''Any wagon with tires three inches
wide owned or used by farmer in his
vocation as such, shall be exempt
from taxation from and after the first
day of January, 1894. 1t is the duty
of assessors to return the number of
such wagons without placing value on
the same"
There Is no question but narrow
tired wagon wheels cut up roads a
great deal more than wide tires and it
might be well to pass a law in this
state which Will encourage the use Of
wide tires,

pie of Elkton can rely upon him in all

Can't Go 1t Alone.

While newspaper may print
column after column of matter eulOg-
istic Of its town, its very brightest say
ings will be received with grain of
doubt if its advertising columns do not
bear the impress of enterprise. The
outside public has become well used to
the patriotic utterance of the western
press and now, when an eastern man
takes up western paper, he invari-
ably turns first to the advertising
columns to see for himself what enter
prises are represented in town. If he
finds the advertising columns we'll
filled. he knows at once that the paper
is published in well established and
prosperous community; and he next
proceeds to examine the reading mat
ter to gain special information. He
knows that so far as reading matter
is concerned, a paper can be issued
from a claim shanty: but to him, the
advertisements are indisputable evil
dences of actual development. A
newspaper, to be a real benefit to a
town in the way of attracting inVes.
tors. must be the joint production OF
the publishers and local business men.
