O I'd hand dealer on McGees cleo
ton. Our morning fire was warm
ing things up in magnificent shape
and under it's benign influences we
sat dreaming of the probable fate
of delinquent subscribers who never

caused us more or less trouble ever

Mrs. Luceba B. Cook, mother Of
Edward Cook, passed away at the
home of her son in this city on Sun
day last at the age of seventy years.
Consumption was the cause of her
demise. She had made Rapid City
her home since 1894 and was loved
for her kindly ways and christian
spirit. When the last hour drew
near she met it with the calm resig-
nation of one who has brighter
hopes beyond. Funeral services
were conduted Monday afternoon
and the remains shipped to Fort
Collins, Colorado, for burial.
A woman accompanied by two
Cuban children arrived in the city
Monday. The trio was paying tray
cling expenses by street concerts,

member of the Masonic order, but
her story sounded suspicious and
Miss Jewel, represen ting the state
home for orphans, sought to obtain
possession of the children. The
city authorities took the matter up
and hearing will be had before
County Judge Boyd on Monday.
Another good man gone wrong!
This time it is w. A. Dawley of the

THE LOCOMOTIVE SHREK.
Its Invention Due to the Destruction
OF a Load of Eggs.

OF a LOad OF ISSbs
1t was in the year 1888, according to
an English exchange, that the head
splitting shrek of the locomotive was
born. When the country roads for the
most part crossed at grade the engine
driver had no way of giving warning of
his approach except by blowing tin
horn. One day in the year 1888 farm
er was crossing the railway track on
one of the country roads with great
load of eggs and butter when a train APP
preached. The engine driver blew his
horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear Il. Eighty dozen eggs and 90
pounds of butter were reduced to one
common pulp, and the railway COM
psny had to, pay what was then con-
sidered heavy damages.
A director of the company, Ashmead
Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to ask
If he could not invent something that
would give a warning more likely to
be heard. Stephenson went to work,
and the next day had contrivance
which, when attached, to the engine
boiler and the steam turned on. gave
out shrill, discordant sound. The rail-
way directors, greatly delighted, or
reded similar contrivances to be at
tached to all their locomotives. And
this developed into the locomotive whis-
tie as we know it.

ALMOST BLEW HIS HEAD OFF.
Mullins Commits suicide Because
He Was Out of Work.

Oas VI
John A. Mullins, forty-two years old,
of No. 176 Thirteenth street, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon by blowing
the top of his head off with a double-bar-
relied shot gun.
Mullins, until a few weeks ago, was
employed by the Weehawken Coal Com
pany. He lost his position and since has
been unable to find employment.
Yesterday morning neighbors who had
learned that the Mullins were in destitute
circumstances took them food and prom
ised to take care of them until Mr.. Null
Inns should get work. The kindness of his
friends caused Mullins to become morose.
he went up stairs to his bed room. His
wife supposed he intended taking a nap.
He had been up stairs only a few minutes
when the report of a u was heard. Mrs.
Mullins hurried to the bed room and was
horrihed to see her husbands body
stretched across the bed. The bed clothes
and side walls were covered with blood
and particles of flesh.
Mullins had, to all appearances, seated
himself on the side of the bed and rested
his head on the barrels of the gun, which
was loaded with b~uckshot.. Only one bar
Ter exploded, but it was sufficient to tear
off the top of Mullins head and destroy
all trace of his identity. Mrs. Mullins
was overcome by the fearful sight and
had to be carried from the room. FRIENDS
took charge Of the body. Mullins leaves
a wife two children.

1t was about half-past one o'clock this

Raising her bedroom window very quiet
ly she looked out and saw two men at
work trying to pry open ther rear door of

America a sea-Poxxer.


In the isthmus the United States has as
serted a special interest. In the present
she can maintain her claim, and in the
future perform her duty, only by the Gre
alton of that sea power upon which pre-
dominance in the Caribbean must ever
depend. In short, the internal jea-
lousies of Europe, and the purely demo
cratic institution of the levee en- masse-
the general enforcement of military train
ng-ha prepared the way for great ma
tional armies, whose mission seems vet
obscure. so the gradual broadening and
tightening hold upon the sentiment OF
American democracy Of that conviction
loosely characterized as the monroe doc
trine finds its logical. inevitable outcome
in a great sea power, the correlative, in
connection with that of Great Britain, OF
those armies which continue to flourish
under the most popular institutions, de-
spite the walls Of economists and the
lamentations of those who wish peace
without paying the IN price which alone
has ever ensured pace-readiness for war.
