FELL INTO A HOLE.
A Team Plunges Down an
Open Death-Trap.
One Horse Killed and the Other so
Badly Injured That 1t Will
Probably Die.

A valuable team of horses attached to a

Seventh and Townsend streets, early yes
terday morning
Both animals were severely injured. and
one of them so badly hurt that il was found
necessary TO shoot it to put it out OF its
misery.
The horse killed had It's back bro ken.
while the other was so badly bruised, and
perhaps internally injured. that IL may
have to be treated the same way as is mate.
The team and wagon belonged to j. L.
Whittier, the contractor. the whole outfit
being valued at upward of $500. The horses
were valued at $500. and the wagon. which
was badly broken UP. together with the
harness. was worth at least 500 more.
Mr.. Whttier's barn, where the horses
were stabbed, is only block from the place
where the accident occurred. and yesterday
morning at O'Clock Louis Olsen, team
ster, drove them from the barn along
Seventh street. 1t was quite dark at the
time, and as there were no lights placed 10
indicate the dangerous spot, Olsen directed
the horses to the edge of the yawning
chasm into which they plunged headloDg,
dragging the wagon and the terrified driver
after them.
The opening, so negligently left with no
lights OF warning, was Is feet square and II
feet in depth, and is in the middle of the
street. The only thing done to prevent ac-
cidents was that of constructing a light
fence Of fiimsy material around 1t.

way difficult to understand, was thrown

not having lanterns placed there to warn

such a living charm to tue as yet undis-

had no agency in causing this shocking con-
diton of affairs is evinced by the absence of
scorch marks on the remaining timber
where this unhappy mutilatiou has been in
progress. Consequently these serious mis-
takes must be the result of a deliberately

WOMEN PLAYING AT LOVE.
The Duty of a Wife, Though Allowed
TO Win Admirers


Mrs. Burton Klngsland In Ladies' Home journal.
There is but one way in which married
woman may safely lay herself out to be
charming or fascinating to any man, and
that is with the one purpose in mind. dom
mating all else, that she may arouse in him
the conviction that her husband ought TO be
happy man. A woman may sometimes
increase her value ia her husbands eyes By
the admiration Of others when it is solely
for his honor that she is seeking to please.
Vanity Is not the only moral danger of a
life spent in fashiona bic society, though it
leads to its most disastrous consequences in
often alternating wife's affection from her
husband, and vice versa. They handle
edged tools who play at love-" and the d.
vorce courts seem to be the only places re-
sorted to for The cure OF the wounds. If
"the little rift within the lutte" has already
begun in wlfe's relations with her hus-
band, let her repair il at once, and realize that
her lifelong happiness depends on that man.
1t helps wonderfully in arousing ones 0wn
waning affection to try 10 gain that of an
other and excite and deserve his highest ad-
miration. There Is another side to the sub
ject-the husband may be in fault-but we
are considering the matter from the woman's
standpoint.

and the torch in this locality give to that

been trying to hide It's scarifcation by lop-
ping off the burned twigs and pruning out
those of the smaller pine growth. as also cut
ting off mutllated and burned branches from
the larger oaks and pines TO hide the effects
of the flames. As a consequence this p0r-

barren as well as an artificial look, and

The County Clerks Office.

A proposition has been submitted to the
Committee on Legislation of the Board Of
Supervisors with the object of creating a
new fee bill for the County Clerks Office.
The Office is now being conducted under the
old fee bill! OF 1866 while every other County
Clerk In the State has the benefit Of a bill
passed in 1891. The proposition Is being
fathered by justices Clerk Williams and
he has secured the cooperation Of County
Clerk Haley. 1t is believed that by this
means the office can be made self-sustain-
ing instead of falling short every year to
the extent Of about $4,000 which comes

ONDA SUY COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA FRIDAY, OCTOBER
GOING 10 KANSAS.

The Alliance Association, life In
surance organization with headquarters
at Huron, will shortly be removed to
Topeka, Kansas. This step will neces-
state the removal to Topeka of Alonzo
Wardall, sometimes called "Alonzo,
the Great and S. D. Cooley, both of
whom have been connected with the
association since at early day. z. D.
Scott, at one time a Populist senator
from Grant county, is also connected
with the company in an official way;
but has not as yet perfected his plans
for the future.
This change of base would seem to
indicate two things, viz: That the Aid
association has found the picking very
poor in South Dakota with the pros
poets for the future decidedly dubious,
and that the Alliance is gradually
abandoning the state instead of rely
ing upon it, as in the past, as one of
it's great battle grounds and stamping
fields in the union ofstates. Kansas,
on the other hand, has been recognized
for some time as the hot BED of the
Populistic doctrine and movement,
and if the Alliance Aid and kindred
organizations cannot flourish there
they are indeed marked for an early
demise. Topeka and Kansas certainly
promise an enlarged and partially un-
worked field for Wardall's "Helping
Hand" and unlimited surplus of gall.

On May 18th, 1893, the Legislature
of Florida adopted in substance the
following: Whereas, The production
of the pineapple is rapidly assuming
proportions OF magnitude in the semi
tropical portions Of the United States
and the territory adapted to it's growth
is sufficient to supply the demand, and
our people cannot compete with for
eign producers who have the advant-
age of cheaper labor, be it resolved
by the Legislature: "That our Rep
resentatives in Congress be requested
to secure the passage of a law impos-
ing duty of 81 per barrel on all for

publican doctrine, and as soon as
