awakened by the voice Of his dead wife.

about 1t for some time. As he was doxing
Off the voice came again, Gas, quick,

Imagined it. I will stay awake now so
that'-just then the voice came again with
greater s%ternness, saying in an imperative
way, Gas, quick, quick, quickp My
friend waited no longer, but jumped from
his bed and rushed to the rooms on the
second floor where his daughters were
sleeping. There was no gas there.
Down stairs he hurried, looked into the
and all about, but no gas was to be
found. He suddenly remembered a newly
arrived Swede girl who came that day to
do Homework, who was sleeping on the
third floor. Up stairs he sprang with a
bound, and as he neared the door he de-
tected the gas. He broke into the room
and found it filled with gas. In the still
ness he could hear the heavy, labored
breathing of the girl on the bed.
"He saw no time was to be lost. Down
on his knees he got, and keeping his face
as close to the floor as possible, he crawl
ed to the window which he opened. He
then reached for the girl, and catching
her arm, which was hanging over the side
of the bed, pulled her to the floor and
through the open door to the next room,
where restoratives were applied. The girl
was asphyxiated and in Is minutes more
would have been dead. It took several
days for her to recover. She had tried the
old experiment Of blowing out the gas
with almost fatal results. My friend tells
me that frequently in times of danger the
warning voice Of his wife comes to his res
cue."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Winiired's mother was talking to her
grandmother. The conversation led her
to relate Il little circumstance, but, re-
Numbering the presence Of the child, she
checked herself with the laughing remark
that 'slittle pitchers have large ears" A
moment later the little maiden demurely
crossed the floor. and taking Il small water
pitcher from the table carried it from the
room. Returning, she seated herself with
a triumphant air and said: "Now, mamma,

Pretty Idea.

A dainty novelty for hanging beside the
bureau to hold the ~buttonhook and other
small articles is made of one of the wood
en- eggs used in stocking darning. At
equal distances around the center screw
in four OF the small brass hooks such as
are used on bangle boards. Then paint
thee egg white and decorate it with flow
ers. Attach a ribbon to two opposite
hooks by which it may be hung on a
brass nail in the wall. The egg NAV be
gilded or covered with satin, if preferred,
and may be finished according to ones
fancy.

tion over all grain adjacent to their
warehouses and that 1T shall be mar.
keted there, and IL 1t chance that
there be two or more buyers at q sta
ton they shall not compete and each
shall receive an equitable proportion
Of the grain, still as q farmer, I claim
our grain is our own until sold and
paid for, and that we have q perfect
right to sell 1t at any time, to any
person, by any method and in any
market we choose. Ihave found how
ever, that farmers are practically re-
stricted in two markets. The local
market, controlled absolutely by the
combine, who extort the last penny
possible, and the Minneapolis and
Chicago markets; which are largely
competitive and where we can obtain
the same price for our grain that the
warehouse companies receive, and
save their profits to ourselves. BY
selling grain in these markets l have
saved a considerable amount and
every farmer in South Dakota can dc
the same. My next article will treat
of marketing wheat in Minneapolis.

Afraid toLiYe.

The mystery surrounding the sui
eide of Samuel Roberts of Sturgis, a
few days ago at Rushville, Neb., has
been cleared away, 1t has been learn
ed that Roberts, whose true name is
Fling, deserted his wife and five chill
dren at Kansas City eight years ago
and came to the Black Hills, stopping
at Whitewood. Here he changed his
name to Roberts and marrieda widow
who had o ranch near Sturgis, where
the couple have resided ever since in
fairly good circumstances.
The deserted wife, who has ever
been on the lookout fer her recreant
husband, heard, through a travelling
man, that Roberts bore a strong re-
semblance to her missing spouse. She
Immediately sent her eldest son to
Sturgis to investigate. When he
arrived Roberts was away from home.
His questions aroused Mrs. Roberts
suspicious after he left, and fearing
he was a detective-young Fling had
not told her who he was-she follow
ed him to Sturgis. A few hours after
her arrival news came from Rushville
that Roberts had committed suicide.
She looked up Fling and told him of
the suicide. He then told her the OBJ
ject Of his visit, and she in turn un-
bosomed herself to him, proving be-
yond a doubt that Roberts was the
missing Fling. Young Fling left
Saturday on the evening train for
Rushville, hoping to reach his father
before he died. The supposition is
tfat Roberts had been notified by
Mrs. Roberts that detective was
after him, upon her arrival in Sturgis
and he, fearing arrest for bigamy and
desertion, took his life.

Deadweod Times, q. The murder
OF David Steinbrook Of Sundance last
Sunday by his 13-year-old son is with
out a parallel in the history Of un-
natural crimes. The murderer is q
mere child, hardly out of dresses, but
the devilish way he planned the MUIR
der and the cool and deliberate execu-
tion Of the same stamps him as being
the most depraved specimen of the
nineteenth century. His case is only
partially paralleled by the child ogre
of Denver, who had his triallast sum-
mG. The cause assigned by young
Steinbrook for killing his parent was
because he had given him a whipping
for some childish i~nfraction OF home
rules. From then until the day of
the killing-sevcn days-the boy
planned the mode of which he would
work his fathers destruction. Hc
placed the time at Saturday night,
and the engine Of destruction a rifle,
with an explosive ball made by him
self. Saturday night he oversight
himself. He then set the time of
Sunday morning, while his parents
slept. AT 5:55 a. m. Sunday morning
he entered his parents bedroom,
where he discovered father and moth
er asleep. He took his rife and laid
1T across his mothers breast, the muz-
zlc sixinches from his fathers head,
and deliberately blew his brains out.
He was cool after the affair and cvinc-
ed no regret. On his way to Jail he
confessed everything and said that
were his father alive he would take
great pleasure in doing the deed over
again

The Flremen's Tournament.

Preparations for the 10th annual
tournament Of the South Dakota
Firemen's Association in Mitchell are
we'll under way and the occasion
promises to be the most interesting
in the history of the organization.
There will be a larger number of en-
tries in all classes than ever before,
and the program will include a num-
Der of new and novel features. The
tournament will open on Tuesday,
June 6, which day will be devoted to
receiving the visitors. On Wednes-
day will come the grand parade and
review, the singlemen's coupling con-
test, the green hose race, the cham
pionship laddermen's contest and the
green hook and ladder rae
On Thursday occurs the Al hook and.
ladder race, the 46 hose race, the
championship hook and ladder race,
the steamer contest, champion hose
race, and exhibition of Pompeir
corps.
On Friday there will be the novelty
laddermen's contest, free for all hook
and ladder race, championship coup
ling contest, free for all horse race,
hand engine contest, band tourna-
ment, and display of the most COM
plete fire fighting apparatus.
The prizes are larger than ever be-
fore, thus insuring lively competition
in all the events. There are already
several entries in the band contest by
the best-known musical organizations
in the state. Bicycle races will also
be a feature on the program, as this
is the cycling center of the state.
The Mitchell department, out of
courtesy to its guests, will not parti-
cipate in the parade for the prize, as
the home companies always have the
advantage in the matter of turning
out a large number of men.
The railroads have granted a one
fare rate for the occasion and Mitch.
ellis we'll known accessibility from
all parts of the state makes certain a
big attendance.

a Long Lived hooking nIrd.

The Independent: In June, 1885, a.
lady living with her husband in SOUTH
eastern Arizona, got a young mock
ing bird, and being told by a Mexican
woman that males had twelve tail
feathers, while females had only
eleven, she believed that her bird was
a male. In three months he began to
sing, and for six and a half years he
was noted for his fine singing powers.
He knew his name was Dick and al
ways answered to it by looking in the
direction from which he was adj
dressed.
In the midsummer nights, when
doors were open, his liquid notes were
heard afar, and often there came
from a neighboring hill the answer
ing song of one of his kind at liberty.
He sang at his best when two years OF
age. He was greatly attached to his
mistress, but did not wish her to
touch him. AS she was attending to
her household duties his eyes follow
ed her every moment. His long life
proved that he had been we'll cared
for.
His food vas changed every other
day. Corn meal and chilli mixed with,
water was followed by crackers and
sweet milk. Occasionally he received
a boiled egg yolk. He liked all kinds
of green fruit. OF vegetables, toma-
toes, lettuce, peppergrass and parsler
were his favorites, and grasshoppera.
and flies were always enjoyed.
On fine days he was hung out in the
sun, but as kingbirds repeatedly tried,
to kill him he was never exposed ~.
less some person vas near. He had !.
bath three times q: week, and hfc
cage, winch was large, was kent -.
puiously clean. BE never ~. ~

bishop Marty and the Indians.

Deadwood Times: Froma WESTERN
cr's standpoint it gives one that "tired
feeling" to hear lecturers gushing over
extolling the merits of the Indians
and the cruelty with which he is
treated by the whites. Bishop Marty
of this state, who should be acquain-
ted with the Indian and his attitude
toward the whites, is now in the
south %lecturing on "poor Lo." In
speaking Of the late Wounded Knee
affair Bishop Marty said that it was
a duplicate of the Custer massacre,
except that the conditions were re-
versed. What a statement to come
from n who knew every detail of
that affair. The reverend gentleman
probably extolled the savages to his
tenderfoot audience for numbering
Lieut.. Casey and many of his gallant
boys in blue. He alsoprobably thinks
that the ruse which drew Capt. Wal
lace and his brave band into the hands
OF the murderous government wards
under pretense Of giving up their
arms, from which only half the men
escaped, was right on the part Of the
savages, and that they should not have
been punished for it.
Talk about cruelty to the Indians;
for every red devil who bit the dust
one of Uncle Sans boys in blue re-
sponded to the last taps on earth.
And still the pale, consumptive phil
anthropist Of the east raises up his
hand in holy horror at the treatment
received by poor Lo at the hands of
the western white men. The terrible
affair at Humphrey & Stenger's beef
camp, in which four whites, two be-
ing mere boys, were wantonly MUIR
dered, is still fresh in the minds of
all. The subsequent attempt to ar
rest the murderers, in which they
were badly wounded, brought forth a
howl from the eastern admirers of the
noble red man, and brought down
censure on the Indian authorities at
Pine Ridge. All this is sickening to
the westerner who lives in an Indian
infested country. An eye for an eye is
what the bible teaches. II the Indian
commit atrocities he must suffer, a.
does his white brethren.

President Cleveland has made up
his mind that the interests of the
country demand the repeal of the law
of 1890 which requires the United
States treasury to purchase 4,500,0o0
