His Mistress Taken to q Hospital While
He yainly Sought Her.
Mrs. Ernest Koropp's big black dog
spent the most unhappy day of his life
the other Gay. Laboring under the de-
fusion that his mist ress was in saloon
at Huron and North Clark streets, Chi
cago, the canine stood guard for hours,
waiting for her to come out, while his
lamentations and distress attracted the
attention of Thousands.
Mrs. Koropp, who lives ut 56s North
Market street, was walking on North
Clark street when she slipped and fell,
hluising her head. The Chicago avenue
ambulance took her to the Passavant
Memorial Hospital. Before the arrival
Of the ambulance there was much ex-
element in the street over the PROSTATE
woman, and the dog, who had been &C
companying Mrs. Koropp, was more ex-
"lted than anybody. Some one ran into
the saloon for brandy, and the dog,
seeing the people passing in and out,
thought his mistress had been carried
there. He took up his station at the
door, and for o time refused to allow
anyone to enter. The bartender himself
was obliged to go around to the rear.
After an hour or so the dog ran fran.
| tically about the saloon. If he saw q
woman approaching half block down
the street he bounded forward in the
vain hope she was his mistress. His
grief knew no bounds, and twas late in
The evening when he dejectedly wcndee

Interesting Feature OF the Exposition
Now Running in New York.
The domestic science department of
the National Electrical exposition now
open in New York shows the applica-
ton of electricity to household art in
electrical cooking, electrical sewing and
electrical laundry work.
The electrical cooking is an exceed
ingly interesting feature of the expo
sition. Bread, pie, cake and dainty
menus are prepared in the electric
kitchen, which is fitted with electric
ovens, chatting dish, hot water urns
md tea kettles. During the exposition
chatting dish lessons, cooking classes
and afternoon teas will probably be
given in connection with the various
clubs and organizations interested in
this kind of work. This department IL
in line with the work of the National
Domestic Science association, and is
really part of the work preparatory
for report upon which will be based
the work already begun before con-
gress.

DEAR SIR:-With reference to the
general prospect for South Dakota
this year, permit me to say that the
season bids fair to astonlsh the most
sanguine advocates of this great state.
The past winter set in with reason.
able amount of moisture in the
ground. aud the weather was mild
and exceedingly pleasant for man and
beast. The spring opened early, with
warm weather and plenty of rain,
causing vegetation to make rapid and
healthy growth. In the southeastern
part of the state pastures afforded
sufficient feed for stock by the list of
May. The soil is in most excellent
condition, the moisture from the
spring rains extending to Il depth OF
from three to five feet. The acreage
seeded to wheat and other small
grains is larger than usual, is of an
exceptionally good stand and color,
and on most fields already covers the
ground. Flowing for and planting
corn is being rapidly pushed, with
every assurance of an excellent crop
The soil is certainly in the best con
dition that it has been for years
Lake beds that have been practically
dry are filling up, while the sloughs
and streams are in many instances
running full of water. The prospect
for general good crop is positively
most promising. Yours very truly,
(Signed) THOS. THORSON

position to supply the rural press
with it's reading matter, in their in
terest, ready set, but free of cost.
What other occupation for 500 In

nual dividends of 25 per cent upon
its increased valuation. Out of LIZ
railroads only So declared dividend
the past year. Very few manufact-
urers of the country declared divi-
dends upon the value of their plants
or farms at their original cost. And
as labor finds its employment among
these occupations aud not among the
banks or of them its wa ges must
come from the profits of these occu-
pations or so unemployed and I'M

week to week the PLAIN DEALER
publishes more or less from these re-

suits is in the interest of labor or OF

enough for Wall street to rob the

The gold standard men of SO
William street, New York, renew their
proposition to the PLAIN DEALER
upon more favorable terms than
heretofore to use the plate or patents
favoring the gold standard. OF
course their entire concern is for the
welfare of the farmer and the work
ing man, entirely ignoring their own
interests, through their broad
philanthrophy. Yet we cannot owe r.
look the fact that the banking and
monied interests of New York are at
at the bottom of this Office to furnish
the rural press of the West with its
plate or reading matter ready set
free of cost, and in doing SO must
compare the profits of their occupa
ton with the business of our OWL
people.
