When a strange oma stole a dia-
mond ring at Schubert's .jeweIry store
Saturday it was announced that there
was no clue to the thief, and it was sup
posed that there could be no arrest
made. Last evening, however, Lieut..
Walter Terrill brought the woman in
from her brother-inlaw's home, about
five miles out in Ohio, and she was
locked mp for a hearing this morning.
The young man who waited on the
m at the jewelry store gave the
police a description OF her, saying she
had red hair, cut short. a Mrs. Wor-
rell had had business with the police
here, her husband having eloped from
Washington, Pa, with another woman
and she having sought aid to find him.
She answered this description SO close
ly that the officers concluded she was
the woman. Inquiry showed that her
husband had worked for the street car
company here, and he was found and
Swallowed to his home out III Ohio by
Chief McNichol and Lieut.. Terrill, this
resulting in her arrest. I,
She confessed that she took the ring,
and said when she offered it to a pawn
broker it was refused in a way which
alarmed her, and she threw it in the
river as she crossed the bridge.

rho BOY Went Homo.

Yesterday man named Rine, from
Wetzel county, reported to the police
that his boy, aged Is, had been enticed
from home by an older brother. He
wanted to either take him home or
send him to the reform school. The
boy was located and brought down by
Officer Desmond. His older brother
and mother accompanied him. It was
found that the parents were divorced
and the nan married again to n widow
with several children. The boy agreed
to go home if he could come and see his
mother and brother occasionally. He
said he. had to do all the work at homo
while his step brothers and sisters did
as they wished. Apparently his story
was true, and it enlisted the sympathy
OF those who heard it.

Feeding Wheat to Hogs.

Experiments in feeding wheat to hogs
are now continuously being made in
SouCh Dakota. One farmer recently
took up the matter with the following
result: He had q hitter OF eight pigs,
April 25-half Chester White and half
Poland China. They were fed some
bran and slop with their mother until
six weeks old, when they were weaned
and weighed, averaging thirty-four
pounds. He then began feeding wheat
soaked in water until it became soft.
At first he fed three quarts a day at
three feeds, increasing until he reached
twelve quarts a day. He continued this
until August 20, when thew were weigh
ed and six OF them sold. the lot OF eight
averaging ninety pounds, an aggregate
gain OF $40 pounds on nineteen and one
hall bushels of wheat. That is to say,
nineteen and one-talf bushels OF wheat
produced $40 pounds of live hogs, which
were worth in the St. Paul market about
five and one hal, cents per pound, or IN
the aggregate $2S.6G, equal t. $l.46 per
bushel ior the wheat.

his wife bad been cruel to him, and

Il revolver on him, and threatened to
end his career right then and there, and
that in April she struck him with her
fist and used u%nprintable language in
reference to him. Mrs. phinney told a
different story. She said that she and
her husband had had some trouble of
late, and the cause, she declared, was
Miss CoLklin, u pretty assistant Of
Phinney'S in his office. Mrs. Phinney
said she came into the office suddenly
one day and found the pretty office
girl sitting in her husbands lap. She
then insisted that her husband dis
charge the girl. This he refused to do,
and out of his relations to the other
woman grew the family troubles. The
jury was out about an hour, when 1t
returned a verdict in favor of the de-

troops, and at 3 o'clock In the morning
the Japanese attack was delivered
simultaneously and with admirable
precision.
The Chinese lines. which were strong
In front, were found to be weak in the
rear, and the Chinese, utterly unsrIs-
picious of the Japanese attack from
that quarter, were taken completely
by surprise, became panic-stricken and
were cut down and bayonetted by
thousands.

cut down to a man.
The Pong San column swarming over
the damaged defenses of the Chinese
front completed the rout OF the Chinese
and the whole of the latter's position
was captured by the troops of the
mikado.
Some idea Of the manner in which
the Japanese attack was delivered may
be judged from the fact that half an
hour after the early mornig attack COM
mencei the strongly defended position
OF Ping Yang was in the hands of the
Japanese troops. 1t was believed that
the Chinese position Of Ping Yang was
defended by 10000 Chinese, of whom
only a few succeeded in escaping.
The Japanese victory was brilliant
and complete. An immense amount of
provisions, arms ammunition and other
stores, in addition to hundreds of flags,
were captured by the Japanese IN the
Chinese camp and entertainments. 1t
is estimated that the Chinese lost 49,
900 men, killed, wounded and prison
ers. The Japanese loss was trifling,
when compared with that of the
Chinese, only thirty Japanese being
killed and go wounded. The Japanese,
when this dispatch was SEM, were in
active pursuit of the fugitive Chinese,
and, as nearly all of the latter were
without arms, having thrown them
away during the panic, they undoubted-
ly will surrender so soon as the jap
nese overtske them.
So far as the active operations OF the
Chinese in COrea are concerned, the
war is practically ut an end for IA long
time to come, and the mainland Of
Corea may be said TO be completely

A Dusty River Bed.

The Sioux river, which runs through
Sioux Falls, has always been a consider
able stream, but it is now almost invisi-
BILE. Above the waterworks the river bed
is absolutely dry and even dusty. One
can walk over the river bed in almost any
place above the water works and not get
his feet wet. John McClelland, who has
lived in Sioux Falls for 40 years, says
such a condition was never known be-
lore. At the water works the exhaust
pipes run a stream OF water about six
inches in diameter constantly into the
river. This furnishes aboutall the water
the river has in it where it rus through
the city. All the ponds, rivulets and
small lakes in the county are entirely
dry. The total precipitation since April
h"S only been go inches, in spite of
prayer and professional rain makers.
