Interesting Decision.

Chamberlain, s. D.. March 2e.-Chief
Engineer Berry OF the Elkhorn road
has completed the work of locating -FOUR
large reservoirs in the cattle country
adjacent 10 Belle Fourche. The reser-
voirs are located inside OF thirty-iiVe
miles of Belle Fourche. BEING sever
eight, fourteen and thirty-iVe miles
from the town. The capacity or the
four will be 800. 000, 600 gallons when
completed. The contracts for the work
have been let and work will be com
mcnced in fifteen days. The four VIII
be ready for use in sixty days. The
black gumbo soil which is peculiar TO
that country was found to be adaptable
for the purpose of the reservoirs, as II
will pack solidly and the hard pan UNI
derneath the subsoil will hold the moi9-
ture. The banks Of the reservoir Will
be substantially built, SO as TO allow
for the excess of water which comes
down the gulches from sudden thunder
showers. and will nay the most I'M
proved appliances for taking care or the
overflow Of water. These reservoirs are
constructed for the convenience or the
cattlemen who drive large herds TO
Belle Fourche each season for shipment
TO the eastern markets. While they are
much in the nature of an experiment,
Engineer Berry Is very confident thai
they will be a grand success.

Huron, s. d, March 29-An interest
ing. as well as peculiar case has been
passed upon by Judge Haney Of the
Fourth judicial district, which involves
a valuable farm in Blaine township in
Jerauld county. Nearly ten years ago
Mr.. Eddy gave a mortgage upon his
farm for $500 in favor Of Stanley Stew
art Of Michigan. Mrs. Eddy and Mrs.
Stewart were sisters and the loan was
regarded as a sort OF family affair, and
Mr.. Stewart neither asked for or col
lected any interest on the loan. When,
however, Mrs. Stewart died, he began
foreclosure proceedings for the coliec-
ton Of the fun amount. The defense
made by the Eddys was that Mrs. Stew
art a donated the LOAF to them. and
by the statute of limitation it could not
be collected, the note having run be-
yond the six years limit. The decision
of Judge Haney is to the effect That be-
cause Of statutory limitation the note
is null and void. but the mortgage
given on security for it's payment IL
still in full force and effect. Now comes
the question to be decided by the SUI
preme court, how, since a note and
mortgage are dependent Upon n an
other. and therefore, in~separable, can
one be null and void and the other re-
main in force.

When a Woman Shops.

An observant man remarks that the
women shopping all have the same ex-
preston. 1t is a weird look, a strange,
far-away, fierce look. 1t is a look that
embraces details, price, colors, ma
terials. cuts, shapes. flowers and feath-
ers in one tremendous moment; a look
that appraises, a look that decides. The
dress that a face that look and come
out of the ordeal unscathed is a dress
deserving of respect aud admiration.
The bonnet that can return that look
without blushing is a bonnet that can be
worn, whether it cost 81 or s.. Even
the weakest among women appears
fierce and fiery when she is proving
around the shops, calculating and con-
irving, selecting, discarding. all in a
glance. There is an intense detach-
ment about her, an intense concentra-
ton, that renders her for the moment
almost great. however small she may

may tread upon your toes and prod you

HER GREAT REMORSE.
Cora Smith, an Omaha Woman, Confesses
to Giving Her Father Poison In Des

Cora Smith, an Omaha Woman, Confesses
to Giving Her Fathe Poison In Des
Moines.
Omaha, March 30.-Cora Smith. formerly
a resident of Des Moines, but who has
lived in this city since last September.
was arrested last night on information re-
oeived from Des Molnes and held for the
crime of murder. The Smith woman was
found in the Tremaine girls house of
prostitution, and shortly after being
taken TO the police station she confessed
having assisted In numbering her father
last May. Mike Smith was the murdered
mans name, and previous TO the last and
successful attempt to kill him by poison
me 5aTi fbaafassSttu was made by snool.lf
back of the eyes, and from the effects Of
which he was blinded 1t was not PROVEN
who fired the shot, and Smith could not
be led to believe that members of his fam
lily were plotting to kill him, but insisted
that 1t was a man who was an enemy OF
his.
Not long after the shooting incident
poison in small doses was administered
from the effects of which ne died last May.
The wife and daughter were arrested,
charged with the crime, and I'm June the
wife was convicted G murder and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the Iowa
penitentiary. Cora was discharged when
taken before the police judge for a hearing,
and. after remaining In Des Moines for a
short time, she came to Omaha and en-
tered a house on the row. Her associates
noticed that something was continually
worrying her and hat she could not
sleep, but were not aware of the cause.
After her mother was sent to the peni-
tertiary she began writing to her, and in
one of her letters she told her mother how
she had assisted In poisoning her father,
and at the same time duplicating her aunt.
Mrs. Ellen Leader. This letter fell into
the hands of the detectives, as did all the
correspondence following. In her confess
sion last night she said hat the poison
which was used TO kill her father was pur-
chased by her aunt, Mrs. Leader, and that
Mrs. Leader administered several doses,
but the one which caused her fathers
death and the last one given was by her
wi hands.
The object of the murder was to secure
$1,000 life insurance.

UNCLE SANS REVENUES.
What They Will Probably he II the In
come Tax Stands.

Washington, March 2~9.-According to
the treasury officials. IL the constitu-
tionality of the income tax is sustained,
Secretary Carlisle's estimate OF the
treasury receipts and expenditures for
the current fiscal year, ending June so
next, are likely to be almost exactly
verified by the official figures. The to-
tai receipts up to the close on Saturday,
exclusive Of the postal account. were
$3.50, 1888, $3.50, Of which sll2, 157, 209 were
from customs, $107, SS1 $40 from internal
revenue and $40, 749, 739 from miscella-
neous sources. The average receipts
for the last few week, If maintained
throughout the year, would carry these
figures to a total of $315. 900, 900, of which
s161 ,000, 900 will be from customs. $1i0,A
600, 900 from internal revenue, and s14,-
600, 900 from miscellaneous sources. The
addition Of $50. 000, 900 from the income
tax would carry the internal revenue
receipts to s170,0 600, 600, and the total to
S345, 900, 900.
Secretary Carlisle's estimate, submit
ted to congress last December, was $780,
300, 900, of which $3.50. 900. 900 was expected
from customs. $165. 000, 600 from internal
revenue, and SIS, 000, 900 from miscella-
peous sources. The secretary was con-
sentative in his estimate of the income
tax receipts. and IL is doubtful IL the
entire $50, 900, 900 expected Will be paid
before the beginning of the new year on
July !, but the amount is then due and
the payment will probably be made
promptly enough to make the collection
practically a part of the revenue OF the
present fiscal year These estimates in
lclude no allowance for increased i'm
ports of sugar during April. May and
June, nor for increased Withdrawals OF
-AA-s-ss~s -Svrsas ra -@~paatea
from both these sources, but especially
from the sugar imports when the crop
gathered last autumn begins to reach
the United States.
The sugar refiners anticipated the de-
mand as far as possible before the duty
ion sugar took effect, but they were I'M
able to anticipate 1t beyond the amount
of the old crop and the estimated
monthly average receipts from the
sugar duty, amounting to SO, 500, 900, are
likely to be exceeded during the sum
mer months.
Secretary Carlisle's opinion hat he
would need no new sources of revenue,
either from loans or from taxation. will
be a~bundantly verified, according TO
present opinion at the treasury depart
ment. and the present general cash bal
ance Of s1S5. 900, 900 will not be reduced
much below s175. 900, 900 at the begin
ming Of the new fiscal year.

JOSEPH KUBLER, = PUBLISHER

Charles Johnson has invented a pat
snt hens nest that is a very great con-
v~enience to Biddy, and is an automatic
persuader for her to do good work.
When the hen approaches the nest a
wicket door gently opens and after she
passes in it closes and the hen has pri-
waite apartments all TO herself. The
egg of its own weight opens a trap
door and rolls noiselessly out of sight.
Then. when the hen arises, puts her
hands in her pockets and gets ready
TO walk out. not seeing the egg. thinks
she made a mistake and lays another.
This sort of thing is repeated until the
heft Of the chicken buds in the box be-
low touches off a spring and Biddy is
fired out of the apartment.

Confesses THAT. Politics Is Not 70.


Redfield. 8. D., March 29.-An event has
just transpired here that will cause quite
a sensation In political circles in South
Dakota. This vas the appearance Of Or
Vile s. Basford. chairman OF the repub-
lican state central committee, before the
full board Of the Methodist church here.
Basford reviewed his past life. confessed
his backsliding In leaving the church for
politics and begged to be reinstated to fell
lowship that he might secure his former
pastoral calling. Basford was once a min
lister In good standing. but went back into
the world" He is now In Missouri, where
he hopes to get into the conference there.
A curious thing In connection with Chair
man Basford's action Is that II Is the full
fllment OF a prediction made by the late
Judge Howe. populist candidate for gov
ernor. who declared several years ago tina
Treasurer Taylor would never settle with
the state and a Basford would go back
TO the pulpit and quit the political field.

tain S. /. Stauber. a prominent and re-
liable citizen OF this city, pronounces the

handsome. There Is a certain pallor about
1t and the burrows are deep, but IL is still
the afce of the senator, the orator, the

and realize how he Numbered against the
Cleopatra Glibusters in 1851 and de-
Tended President Johnson i'm 1865: how he
nominated seward I'm 1860 and explained
the Alabama claims at Geneva In 1872;

A revolution in typesetting machinery

none Of the disadvantages inherent in
the machines now on the market for the

facilities for corrections and alteration

Another machine, which is expected TO
revolutionize type setting, Is described
by VI. Mazereau. According To the In
ventor, the Rev. Pere Calcndoni, a
Sicilian Dominican, ii can compose o.
900 letters per hour, a task equal To the
labor Of t~hirty-siX compositors. The
difference in speed, as compared with
the existing machines, lies in the fact
that instead Of each letter being made
to fall separately into the composing
stick, entire words can De composed In
an instant by the simultaneous appli-
cation Of the fingers of both hands. NJ.
Mazereau states hat he has himself
manipulated the instrument on a small
scale with complete success.
