HIS ,G1zyLL MASHED w1TIz IA
IzEAvH STICK

Jacob Malquist was murdered on
Saturday, the 18th inst, at Texas
Ferry, by "a brutal but unknown
hand. The murder occurred at
about five o'clock in the evening,
and when the body was found about
ma hour afterwards it was yet warm.
The victim was beaten to death,
his skull being fearfully fractured.
A man was seen skulking along the
river bank, and coming from the
direction of Malquist's saloon, and
shortly afterwards, when two men
went to the saloon for a drink, they
found the front door locekd, but
the back door open. Upon enter
ing they found the body of the
murdered man, with his pockets
turned inside out, and in the con-
dition above described. There was
a heavy club found in the room
near the body, one end of which
was covered with matted hair and
blood On the finding of the body
search party was organized for
the purpose of running down the
suspicious looking individual seen
looming from the direction of the
saloon.
Shortly after starting, figure
was seen in the distance crossing a
bridge, which was thought to be
the man they wanted. They lost
sight of him, however, but contln-
ued the chase. The man was sub
sequently captured, taken to Ripar.
ia, and turned over to Deputy Sher-
iff Eacho when the train arrived at
Caltax that evening. The man
was wearing a pair Of Malquist's
pants when captured, and he ac-
knowledged having had fight with
the murdered man, but claimed he
had done nothing he should not
have done" He gave the name of
James Lawrence, and said he had
been discharged from the penlten-
tiary at Walla Walla that morning.
1t has since been discovered that he
has served two terms at that place,
and it is thought that his real name
is Lrwrence Dillon. He was
brought up before Justice Doolittle
Tuesday morning for preliminary
examination and was bound over
to the superior court on the charge
of murder, without bail.

The question as to whether Adam
was really the first mar of all the
earth" and, if 50, where Cain obtained
his wife, is still open for discussion.
There are certain secls and creeds that
believe in q pre-Adamite creation OF
man. The advocates of this theory be-
lieve that it is altogether probable that
the pre-existing races of the human
species covered more than half of the
habitabie area Of the earth at the time
when God 'breathed into Adams nos
trils the breath of life; and mar became
a living SOUL" If this theory is not the
true one, who were the sons of God"

that "they saw the daughters OF men
that they were fairp" According to the
pre-Adamic theory, these "sons Of God"
were none other than the representa-

Not "a Word,

The preciousness OF silence receives a
new illustration in q court room incident
reported by the Helena Independent.
-Four years ago, more or less, two men
were convicted Of horse stealing in the
district court of Choteau ountY They
jserved a sentence of ten years imprlson-
ment, but Judge Du Bose, for soyne reason,
let them Off with three years.

nounced was past revision. addressed the

2.--Thc Sentence.

The Low hum OF talk among the persons in
court ceased when the jury returned to their
places. Curiosity now found its center OF
attraction in the prisoners wife-whO had
been present throughout the trial. The uues-
ton of the moment was: How will size bear
the interval of delay which preccdes the CIV
ing OF the verdict:
In the popular phrase, Mrs. Westerfeld
was 4 snowy woman. Her commanding fig
TIRE was finely ROBBED in dark colors; her pro-
fuse light hair hung over her forehead in lit
tie clusters of ringlets; her features, firmly
but not delicately shaped, were OH a large
scale. No outward betrayal Of the wife's
emotion rewarded the public curiosity; her
bold, light-gray eyes sustained the general
gaze without finching. To tho surprise of
the women present, she had brought her two
young children with her TO the trial. The
eldest was a pretty little girl of 10 years old;
the second child IA boy sat on his mothers
knee. 1t was generally observed that Mrs.
Westertield took no notice of her eldest child.
When she whispered a word from time to
time, it was always addressed to her son.
She fondled him when he grew restless, but

Fol- School Directors and Oflcer
The following circular. addressed to
school directors and officers, has been sent
out by State Superintendent Sabin:
1T is not the custom of the department
Of public instruction officially to recon-
mend the purchase of any maps, charts.
or pieces of apparatus for use in the pub
lie schools. When any parties claim that
they have such Endorsement you may be
assured that such n claim is fraud. BY
section 1923 the board is given discretion
AIRY power to purchase whatever articles
the schools. in their judgment. need, but
they should keep strictly within the limits
of the law. Not only may they not incur
any debt for such purpose. but the SUI
preme court has decided that they must
retain sufficient money on hand In the con-
tingent fund to meet the ordinary running
expenses OF the schools. We do not wish to
discourage TIE purchase Of apparatus If

We wish especially to caution YOU
for maps, charts, or other apparatus, pre-
suming upon the ratification of the pur-
board; Such practice is clearly Illegal
and should never occur. In Mills & Co.
vs. Collins ct al. G. Iowa, 16S. the supreme
court uses these words:
1.-The law c~ontemplates that no liabil-
ity of this kind (the purchase of appar-
atus) shoul be imposed by the district,
except by the members of the board duly
convened at a board meeting. and sitting
in consultation
II the purchase of apparatus is contem-
plated the matter should be brought to the
attention of the board at a regular or
special meeting, and made the subject Of
careful consideration. 1t is well also to
consult teachers known to the board to be
successful, or other persons having a
knowledge of the value and usefulness of
the articles in question.
The board should first Of all determine
whether the state of the contingent fund
is such that they can provide for the or
binary expenses of running the school and
have sufficient left to purchase the con-
templated articles and pay cash for them.
See so Iowa, 12l. Then they should cons!d-
er whether the article under consideration
is necessary, and whether the purchase of

chase the vote should be spread upon the

are of no binding force upon the district.

schools should have all needed apparatus.
but We are also anxious that school boards
should not be imposed upon. for we are

A Vermont girl with an Iowa training
has won distinction in her Immediate
iocaiity "a the west. The young lady
resides at the county seat OF Dawson
county, South Dakota. She has solved
The question of woman's sphere to her
w advantage at least. The Young
woman is Miss Jennie c. West. Miss
West is now about 25 years old. A few
years ago, whether from necessity or
choice, 1T doesn't matter, she determined
to be self sustaining. At that time she
was o student In Dakota university. AT
the end of two years spent in that insti-
luton she was made an instructor in
~atnematlcs, history and one or two
othef branches. After She graduated
ane was elected to the department of
history and English literature in the
university. A year later, in the sum-
mer of 1892, Miss West was nominated
for the office of superintendent of
schools OF Dawson county. and wa.
elected by a handsome majority. She
proved to be such an efficient public Of
nclal that at the end OF her first term
she was again elected by a big majority.
but this is only part of what Miss West
mas done to show the possibilities of en-
ergetic ~womanhood. She has acquired a
quarter section of fertile South Dakota
land, and has developed one OF the finest
farms in Dawson county. Miss West
became the owner of his and by taking
advantage of the homestead law, and
she has improved it with the money she
earned as a teacher and as school super
intendent. She now has 1870 acres under
cultivation, and has it well stocked. On
the farm are forty mich cows, which
yield a large amount of milk and cream
for the market afforded by the Mitchell
creameries. Miss West sold twenty-four
/ steers for $500 cash. The proceeds of her
!, farm are swelling her already snug
Abank account, and this irrepresslble
western girl has the promise OF becom-
Ing a wealthy woman. Miss West was
born in Vermont. Her parents removed
to Iowa when she was hut Q years old
and settled In Fayette county. From
there they came to Dakota in 1881.

There was n long pause. The audience

proved to be right.
The surgeon of the prison entered the wit

The prisoners heart had been diseased for
some time past, and the malady had been
neglected. He had tainted under the pro-

event OF an adverse verdict her husband had
asked for a farewell interview, and the gov

observed, when she retired, that she held her
